WARNING- SOMEONE HERE LOVES TO SWEAR, AND SOMEONE ELSE JUST LOVES TO SUGGEST THINGS! (Read at your own risk)
After two, uneventful, days it was Friday and they still haven't found a single job. The three boys were in the parlor, eyes scanning newspapers (but in Arthur's case, a screen). It's been like that for two days, but this particular day Madeline was still in the bedroom, doing God knows what. Earlier when Arthur asked about it, Antonio suggested "Girl stuff?" which earned him a smack in the head by the two blushing blonde men.
"This is soooooooo boring!" Antonio whined. He sat on the hotel couch, upside-down, while he searched through his newspaper. Brown eyes scanning it lazily.
"This is incredibly dull…." Arthur mumbled, looking at the laptop screen blankly. Vash silently agreed as he searched a different newspaper. They've been searching since the minute they processed the P.S. on that letter. How hard is it to find a job in a big city like this?!
"OH MY JESUS I FOUND ONE!" The three heard Maddie yell, and I mean yell, from the bedroom. They gave each other a look that said, "This should be good." And got up from their spots in the parlor, into the bedroom where they found the usually quiet Canadian grinning ear to ear. Her light golden hair up in a messy ponytail, and her red laptop in front of her.
"What is it?" Vash asked, eyebrow raised. He voiced the other two's silent question. She proudly pointed to her screen which had this ad on it that read:
Nannies Needed!
I'm in need of a willing group of individuals (three or more would be lovely) that want to be nannies. And can handle a large task. No experience is needed, I just need you to like children!
I'll give you a place to stay (since you'll be stay-at-home nannies), and you will be paid generously, since I know this is a real challenge!
All I require is one day with my children to see if you're able to control them and if they like you. I wish you luck!
The address and phone number to try for the job was right under the small paragraph. "Th-This is absolutely amazing..!" Arthur said, breathless. He turned to Madeline. "W-Where did you find this?" He asked her.
She grinned. "A good friend of mine, who works there, e-mailed it to me."
Tony smiled in awe. "Could she give us a good word?" He asked. He had said 'she' with uncertainty. For all he knew, Madeline could have guy friends.
Her grin widened. "Yes, yes she can." After writing down the address, and number, the Canadian called her friend.
"Bonjour? Who is this?" The person on the other end asked, her thick French accent clearly heard.
"Bonjour Franny!" Maddie said excitedly.
"Oh Madeline!" Franny squealed with equal excitement as her friend. "How are you? How has Europe treated you ma chére?" She asked in her, 'Do you have a new boyfriend or what?' tone.
Maddie rolled her eyes. "Europe was amazing," she said in her, 'Not today or possibly ever' tone, "and I'm doing fine! Sorry to ask now, when we have so much to catch up on, but I need to ask a favor." She asked hopefully. There was a short, worrying, pause.
"Of course, ma meilleure amie. What is it?" Franny asked.
The shy Canadian gulped before starting. "A-A few friends of mine from Europe and I-I are in California, L.A. t-to be exact, and th-the four of us need a job…." She trailed off.
"Mmm…" Franny hummed. "You would like me to pull some strings with Mademoiselle Wu, non?" The Frenchwoman asked, and Maddie could just picture her friend's sly smirk appear on her face.
"Oui. C-Can you do that?" She paused for a second before adding, "Pretty p-please with pancakes and maple syrup on top?"
"Are these friends of yours….. Male and single?" Franny asked, Madeline could almost see the perverted smile she was probably making.
The Canadian face-palmed. "Y-Yes, and I-I'm pretty sure… but I-I never really asked them…" She whispered, fearing that the guys could hear her.
"Oh, I'll find out myself. And as for the favor, let's see what I can do."
Maddie smiled. "Thank you so much Franny! I owe you one big time! Au revoir, mon amie!"
"You're welcome, ma chére and au revoir!" Then Maddie hung up. When she turned to her three companions, they kind of looked uncomfortable.
"So….." Arthur trailed off, waiting for Maddie to tell them what happened.
"Franny is going to pull some strings for us. And… um…" She paused for a moment, pondering if she should tell them about her friend's impulse to get a man. She shook her head, thinking better of it. "N-Nevermind."
Arthur looked at Tony and Vash with a questioning glance. The Swiss shrugged while the Spaniard mouthed, "Girl problems?" Then Tony held his head thanks to the hard blow courtesy of Vash.
The next day, at about eight-ish to nine-ish, Maddie got a call from Franny. Long story short, yesterday when the Frenchwoman talked to Mademoiselle Wu about them, her boss looked very intrigued. After she finished, her boss wanted to see them. "When?" Maddie asked, very surprised by how fast she called back.
"1:45 PM, today." Franny said, serious as serious could get.
"W-Wow..." Maddie muttered.
"Mademoiselle provided a car for you, and once I get the address to your hotel, he will be there in about two hours. Since L.A. traffic sucks, and your driver is a LAZY ASS!"
Maddie heard a distant, "Shut up Frenchie!" and held in a giggle.
"His name is Alistair, he has bright red hair, rude, and is probably smoking by the time you find him. You can't miss him." Franny described. Maddie thanked her than she gave her the address, and exchanged small talk, a little later the phone call ended. When the Canadian told the Europeans what was happening they were shocked, but none of the less tried to look presentable as well as comfortable. They were going to take care of children after all. When they all gathered their stuff, it was about thirty minutes before the man with the car was expected to arrive. The four went to the lobby, gave their key cards back to the front desk, and walked out of the hotel. When Maddie checked the time again, it was about 5 or so minutes until he was expected to arrive.
"Why don't we search around? Maybe he came earlier than we expected." Antonio suggested, but Arthur didn't hear him.
The Brit saw a red headed man, about 6'3", in a fancy black suit without a tie. His white dress shirt's first two buttons undone. He had a black cap under his right arm as he leaned on the black SUV behind him. He was smoking a cigarette and watching people pass by him with a bored expression. Like he was searching for someone in particular to take his interest. The Englishmen couldn't believe his eyes. "Alistair?" He asked, walking over to him.
The red head, hearing his name, looked away from his people watching to stare at who ever interrupted him. When the same emerald green eyes stared back at him, he paused for one good minute. "Shit..." He muttered under his breath, a thick Scottish accent accompanying the swear. He stopped leaning on the car and straitened his posture to glare at Arthur. "What are you doing here you little runt? I thought you were supposed to be with Dale, the twins, and Peter. You know, in the U-fucking-K."
Arthur frowned. "How rude, is this how you treat people you haven't seen in six years?"
Alistair rolled his eyes. "Its only been 5 years and 11 months. Can't you do simple math, Iggy?"
Arthur's cheeks reddened. "My name is Arthur, not Iggy!" He yelled, frustrated.
Alistair smirked. "Calm down, I thought 'gentlemen' don't let their tempers get the best of them." He teased, easily getting a glare from the shorter male. They argued like this for about twenty minutes. Ah! Brotherly love~! After about eight minutes more of them yelling about, Maddie recalled the description Franny had told her about their driver, and, in curiosity, tapped Alistair's arm shyly. When he felt a light tap on his arm, he looked down to find the petite Canadian woman. "What is it lass?" He asked, eyeing her curiously.
"D-Do you happen to know a Frenchwoman n-named Francine Bonnefoy?" She asked, her gaze focused on a crack in the ground.
Alistair frowned. "How could I forget? The woman is the embodiment of a fucking demon." He paused. "That reminds me, I came here to pick up a lass named, Madeline, apparently she's that she-devil's friend." He scowled. "If I know that fucking witch, her friend could be just as perverted as her. And she brought three more friends with her. What joy, four possible perverts are going into the house..."
Maddie sighed. "I-I'm Madeline... Madeline Williams, n-nice to meet you..." She kept her gaze on the pavement, and she put her hands behind her back.
Alistair felt like a fucking dick. I mean, who wouldn't when you just accused a nice looking girl as a possible pervert, and not even knowing it. Shit... How the fuck was he going to fix this? The Scotsmen just sighed. "Uh... S-Sorry about that.." He muttered, than he finally noticed Antonio and Vash. "And I'm guessing that tan guy, the other one, and my brother are your friends.." Maddie nodded. Yup, total Dick-ville. He took one last puff of his almost forgotten cigarette before he dropping it and stomping on it. "I'll put your bags in the back." He said, not looking anyone in the eye as he opened the trunk of the car. After their bags were in the trunk, the four arranged that (since there wasn't enough room for all of them in the back) Maddie be with him in the front, while the other three stayed in the back seat. When the three men filed in the back he closed their door, than opened the door for Maddie. She quietly thanked him before he closed the door for her. When he knew they couldn't hear him, he mumbled about two dozen colorful curse words before disappearing into the driver's seat. After starting the car, he drove straight into L.A. traffic, and into an really awkward two hour car ride.
