Get ready for Part 2! For right now, I'm going to focus on a new character who will be an important person for Goob later on in the story. I hope you still like it, even if I am drawing away from the characters. Don't worry though, I think chapter 10 will have the Robinsons...and Wilbur (yay!)

Hope You Enjoy!

Part 2: Enter Photographer Girl

Chapter 7

Late!

-

An alarm clack rang throughout the entire room. This caused a woman to literally jump off her bed in surprise. The woman groaned in pain, rubbing her head. She looked at her alarm clock sleepily and her eyes immediately widened in surprise.

"I'm late!" she screeched. She ran into her bathroom to brush her teeth while simultaneously trying to comb her hair. She then dove into her closet and put on your average futuristic dress. She then grabbed a big camera off her desk and headed out the door.

-

"Al! Where ya been?"

The woman arrived to a newspaper building. She worked there as a photographer for a local newspaper called "The Advisor".

"Sorry Lyle," said Al as she slumped down into a chair. "Had a late night last night."

"Working or going out with your boyfriend?" he asked with an eyebrow.

"Hey, it's not my fault he works so late!" she said. "At least we spend time together! Even if we do start a date at 10:00 o'clock."

"Well, okay," said Lyle. "But the boss wants to see you in his office. Very important."

Al groaned. She forced herself out of the chair and dragged her feet as she headed for her boss' office.

-

"Allison Weatherly."

Al stood before a big man who stood behind a very messy desk. He looked extremely serious and looked down on Al.

"Sir, let me just start out by saying, in my own defense…"

"Miss Weatherly, I am tired of hearing your excuses," said the man as he rubbed his head. "This is the 13th time you've been late to work…"

"And I'm extremely sorry!" responded Al. "Mr. Marling, you know I'm a good worker. It's just that…I lose track of time…"

Mr. Marling sighed. "Al, I know you're a good worker. Your pictures are exquisite and are what make out paper stand out from the rest. Its just…I don't want to have to fire you for all those tardies you've had. And I know it's because of that boyfriend of yours…"

Al gasped. "How did…I mean, may we please not discus my private matters?"

"Alright Al, but I'm warning you, that boyfriend of yours is doing nothing but making your life harder.'

"Duly noted sir," said Al through gritted teeth.

"Okay Al. I won't fire you, but I'm going to have to doc you a days' pay for this."

Al sighed. "That's fair I suppose."

"Off to work then!" said Mr. Marling.

-

After taking a few pictures as ordered by Mr. Marling, it was time for her break. She agreed to meet her boyfriend at a restaurant called…

'You've GOT to be joking."

Al could not help but stare in horror as she saw the restaurant her boyfriend chose. It was the "Playtime Planet', whose theme is unicorns, rainbows and basically anything threatening the masculinity of the world. With a heavy sigh, she entered the restaurant.

-

"Yo! Ally!"

Al turned to see her boyfriend beckoning her to their booth. She waved at him; her cheeks turning scarlet red.

Al has never had a boyfriend before and this is her first one. She will admit, even if he can be cheap, he still makes her blush.

She took a seat opposite of him in the tiny booth. Once she did, a waiter came with two milkshakes. Ally looked at hers with disgust to find unicorns and hearts plastered all over it.

"Sorry about this,' said her boyfriend with a nervous chuckle. "It's the closest restaurant by my office. Anyway, I called you because there's something very important that I need to tell you…"

"Well, gee Kevin, go ahead,' said Al as she slurped her milkshake.

Kevin just couldn't bring himself to say it. Al watched him with a cocked eyebrow as he struggled to explain this 'important thing' he needed to tell her. Al suddenly gasped as she realized what he might be trying to say.

Is he going to propose to me? She thought.

"I c-c-can't. You know, let's just forget about it…"

"No!" yelled Al, clutching his hand. "Don't worry, just go ahead and tell me."

"You sure?"

"Yeah. Lay it on me," she said. Kevin avoided looking at her in the eye.

"Well…"

"Yes?" she asked with a twinkle in her eye.

"Her name is Fiona"

"I do."

Al clutched her mouth when those two words spluttered out. She could not believe what Kevin had just said.

"What?" she asked in a somewhat frightened voice.

Kevin sighed. "Her name is Fiona. We met on a business trip and…well…I love her. I mean, I…It's not like our time together didn't mean anything, but…"

Al quickly removed her hand from his reach as he tried to console her. She got out of the booth and looked at him incredulously.

"How could you?" she asked in tears. "I gave you everything I had! I nearly lost my job because of you! I even loved you! How could you do something like this?"

"Ally…please…"started Kevin as he noticed the kids in the restaurant were listening to their argument, "can we keep it down."

"You know what? Take your stupid new girlfriend. I never want to see you again."

"But-"

And with that, Al left the restaurant in tears, running as fast as she could to get away from there. Kevin stood in the restaurant, embarrassed. The kids in the restaurant gave him dirty looks.

"Jerk!" yelled one girl who threw her stuffed unicorn at him.
