DAY 5

It has been 5 days since Louie and Olimar took off, and P's life had not gotten any better. The poor man was losing money fast; in the 5 days he had spent over 30 Pokos on food and other stuff such as clothing and others. He was starting to lose his hopes in the two captains. Louie and Olimar had only achieved to get 2000 Pokos in the first 5 days. He was worried. What if they couldn't get the 10,000? He dared not think about what would happen to him if they didn't.

He just woke up and found himself on the floor. He had fallen off his sofa while sleeping. He slowly got up and walked to his desk. He sat down on the chair and stared at a random pencil on the desk. He was still sleepy. He grabbed a white paper bag that was sitting on the desk and opened it. Inside was a nice breakfast that he had bought the day before. He took out a nice orange juice and a bread with butter and marmalade. After finishing eating and drinking, he stood up and stretched. Then he sat back down.

He turned his computer on and opened the file. This word was stamped across the screen:

Sleeping.

P was shocked. He owed a company 10,000 Pokos and the two hired workers to do that were just sleeping. Couldn't they care? WHY wouldn't they care about him and his life?

He was more concerned about Louie. What is it with him? Since he had joined the company he didn't do anything helpful, if anything at all. And space bunnies. Those exist, yes, but P never heard about space bunnies in THAT space shipping lane. Weird...

"I'm gonna find out what exactly happened with Louie and the golden Pik-Pik Carrots. And I'm not going to rest until I do!"

So he opened the door and went down the stairs. He walked over to his graffiti-covered car and hopped in. He made his way to the public library. When he got there, he parked the car in the underground parking and got out. He walked to the elevator and waited. When it got there, the people who came out of it looked at him. There was a child along with them, and he was pointing at P.

"Look, mommy! It's the guy who you said is broke!"

P turned around, offended. Everybody knew him as a bad guy, as a total failure. He was praying for Olimar and Louie to get those 10,000 Pokos so that he could go on with his life. He decided to go up the stairs, instead of the elevator. When he got to the main floor, he opened the door and went in. He walked right, towards the Space section. He was searching for a book.

"P... Q... R... S... Sp, sp... Space Bunnies, there."

He grabbed the book from the bookshelf and sat down on a red sofa. He opened the book and went to the last page, the index. He was looking for the shipping lane that Louie went in. It was called Yo Mama's Shipping Lane. He searched for it and found it. Page 128, section A. He flipped the pages back and checked in the section A. There was only a small note on that section. He read it.

"'No Space Bunnies sighting was ever recorded on Yo Mama's Shipping Lane.' I need more information, this won't do."

He stood up and put the book back on the bookshelf where he got it from and went through other ones.

"Shipping Lanes, All About. There."

He grabbed an enormous book and sat down on the same red sofa. He searched for Yo Mama and found it. He started reading.

"Let's see... It says, 'Yo Mama's Shipping Lane is very famous for being the most controlled and safest Space Shipping Lane. No Space Pirates, Bunnies, or Dawgs sighting has ever been recorded.' Then... Louie lied?"

He put the book back on the shelf and went back down the stairs and quickly to his car. While he was going there, he noticed that there were people around it.

"Hey, what's going on?"

The people turned and saw P. Then they all started running away. P was confused. Then, he took a look at the car and saw that it was all smashed up. There were little pieces of glass everywhere. Those people broke the windshield. Broken eggs were all over the car. There were beer bottles on the floor and the whole car now smelled like crap. P quickly went over to it and noticed that it was even worse than it looked. The door was open, and inside there was lots of junk. There was glue on the chair and the back of the car was full of garbage. He ignored everything and went in it, sitting on the glued chair. Then, he started driving.

He got out of the parking lot and started driving back to his office. While he was going there, he noticed a police siren going on behind him. He stopped the car and the police stopped, too. Two policemen got out and started walking to his car.

"Please get out of the car, sir."

P tried to but he was glued to the seat.

"Get out. Now."

"I can't! I'm glued to the seat!"

"THEN GET YOUR COAT OFF!"

P just noticed that it was the coat that was stuck to the seat, not him. So he took off the coat and got out of the car. He asked what was wrong.

"What's wrong? Are you serious? You can't drive with a broken windshield and a graffiti-covered car. And the whole car smells like alcohol. Please blow in this balloon."

The policemen gave P a balloon and he inflated it. Then, the two policemen did something (...).

"Good, you didn't drink and drive. But you'll still have to pay a fine and your car will be seized. Gimme 20 Pokos now, in cash."

P sadly went back to his car and got the money out of his coat. He handed over 20 Pokos to the two dudes. The policemen told him to walk away now. He did that. So now, he was without car and almost with no money and he had to walk back home. He was still about 5 miles away. So, he started walking.

LATER

He finally arrived at his building. He climbed those stairs and went in his office. He checked the clock. It was 5 PM already. He had skipped lunch and he was really hungry. He checked his wallet and found out he had only 30 Pokos left. Then, he suddenly remembered that he left his coat on the car. It was a 10 year old coat that his father gave to him a week before he died. He sat down on the chair and checked Olimar and Louie's progress.

Sleeping. Woke up. Outside. Found 1 treasure/s. Found cave. Found 10 treasure/s. Day over. Sleeping.

Day over? Already? It has been only a couple hours since they went outside and they already finished the day? They had only gotten 3,000 Pokos total in 6 days. Not the best there is. P rested on the sofa. He was really hungry but the sadness was a stronger feeling and he fell asleep with an empty stomach and a tear falling from the eye. The whole night, he had nightmares about what would happen to him if he didn't pay the 10,000.

Yeah, um... Yeah. Please review, and thanks for the reviewers. Um... Yeah.
