The Great Sayian Vocation Venture
Department Store Drama! Part One
Vegeta had fumbled through his last interview. He was determined to make it through one day at this job. The two sayians had gotten lucky enough to be hired on the spot at a department store which was in desperate need of employees.
It was only 4 o'clock, and that meant that if he lasted just one hour, he could go home and tell the woman he had accomplished the task set out for him, and he would then be allowed access to his training ship.
He had managed to keep the blundering fool quiet for most of the interview, except when he had chimed in to ask Vegeta when his promised lunch break would be, and so the woman had actually offered for them to stay for orientation. He wasn't sure what that implied, but at least Kakarot had been led away to a separate part of the store.
The woman was now standing in front of him, speaking directions so quickly it sounded like gibberish in between frequent giggles and flipping her hair. He had decided to tune her out somewhere around , "Hi, my name is Cassie and I, like, work at the Clinique counter, so I'll be, like, showing you around today!"
He now decided that maybe he should have been paying a little more attention to her babbling, since she had just shoved a bottle of…something or other…into his hand, and now he wasn't sure what she wanted him to do with it.
"Alright, now you need to, like, walk around and spray people, to give them some samples, okay?" she giggled once more before turning to walk back to her counter and observe his actions.
Grumbling to himself, the prince looked closely at the bottle. "Passion for Men?" he read aloud, confused as to why earthlings sold their arousal concoctions in such public places. He carefully took the lid off, looking back at Cassie to assure himself that he was taking the correct path. She nodded, and motioned to him, urging him toward a man walking by.
Vegeta raised the tiny bottle and pushed the nozzle down, resulting in the liquid shooting back into his eyes.
"Argh!" the sayian exclaimed, crushing the bottle into tiny shards of glass. This only made the situation worse, as the man walking by slipped in the resulting puddle of fragrance on the floor. He reached up to grab Vegeta who took offense and shoved the man away, causing him to skid across the floor into a shelf of men's foot powder, which dumped all over his expensive-looking suit.
After the last crash had rung out over the entire floor, Vegeta, who had recovered from his temporary blindness, looked over at the man and said the only thing that came to mind. He reached out his glass and cologne covered hand to him, forcing a much too awkward-looking half-smile. "Would…you like a…free sample?"
Well, for this and the following chapter, I have decided to go with the "working with the public" thing, and hopefully it works out for the best. Thanks for all of your suggestions, guys, they're all great, and keep them coming! I hope to use a few more of the ones I've already heard for upcoming chapters, so thanks so much everyone, for your wonderful feedback and suggestions. Hope you're enjoying this read!
