When I woke up I had a horrible headache.

"I can't look for a job with a hang over! I'll get Abi back…one day. Anyway I need to get up and start looking."

I got up and threw on some clothes. I didn't know where to look first so I looked on Abi's computer for help. When I opened the internet up it was on a forum called Minimum Powers. What the hell is that? Then I saw a post that said

"If you need a job then contact me."

The poster was a girl with red hair and purple eyes. It had a number and the place she worked at which was a flower shop. I like flowers so why the hell not? I called the number but it wasn't a girl who answered the phone. It was a guy.

"Hello~ I'm guessing you called this number for a minimum right?" What the hell is going on!?

"Um…no I called about a job."

Seriously I should just hang up while I still have the chance.

"A job…hm…that's new. Ok for you I will give you a job. Does that sound ok?" No! Hang up now!

"Uh depends on what the job is."

"Well..." And then I heard a very creepy mad scientist like laugh.

"You will become a human test subject. I want to see if you can handle a Minimum."

Minimum? What the hell is that? I really didn't like where this was going but something inside of me wanted to know more.

"Can you tell me what a Minimum is?"

"A Minimum is a very special and unique power that only the chosen ones can have. I made it so that if you want a minimum then…I can grant you that wish. Doesn't it sound delightful? To have something so great and unobtainable? To be equal as the strong ones! To not feel weak and useless anymore!"

This guy is fucking crazy! Hang up now!

"Well…I don't know what you're talking about but I am curious about this Minimum power."

"So you will take the job?" No hang up!

"Yes I'll do it. I'll become your test subject."

"Ah...thank you. Your name?"

"Taty."

"Good. Let's meet up somewhere or I could come to your house?"

At first I hesitated. I shouldn't trust this whack job at all but it's too late for that now. I already agreed to the job so what's the point of being scared now? I'm about to become a human test subject and probably die before I even get the money. What is there to lose now?

I sighed and told him to pick a place to meet up at. He said a place called Café Flower and to be there at 7pm. I said ok and hung up.

I looked at the clock. 4:39pm…I have 2 hours and 21 minutes left. I should call Abi and tell her about this crazy ass job I agreed to. I know exactly how she's going to react too. I picked up my cell phone and called Abi.

"Hello?"

"Hey…"

"What's up?"

"I…uh…found a job."

"That's great! So what do you do and where is it?"

"Um…I don't know where it's at yet but…. I'm a human test subject."

The other end of the phone was quiet for awhile. I started to feel really bad for agreeing to this job. Abi probably thinks I'm crazy!

"Are you a testing a Minimum?"

When she said that, my body started shaking. My heart started beating fast and I felt like I was going to throw up. Why does she know that? Then I thought about how I found the job in the first place. Did Abi…want a Minimum?

"Abi…do you want a Minimum?" She was quiet and then spoke up.

"What? No…why would I want that? I'm not weak!"

Then she hung up. That reaction said it all. She did want one and she's upset that I am about to get one. This Minimum business might ruin our friendship but I won't let it get to that point. I don't want to lose my only friend.

I looked at the time again and it was now 5pm. Abi should be on her way home. I decided that I should just go to the café and wait for my new boss. I didn't want to see Abi right now. So I took a shower, put on a grey shirt with a white skull on it, some black pants and some grey boots and then left. I could use some fresh air anyway.

I didn't know where the Café was so I had to ask around. I didn't know a lot of Japanese. I only knew phrases that could help me get around. If Abi was here…No… let's not talk about her.

Anyway there was a doctor arguing with a guy that had a tattoo of a skull with cross bones on his leg. Weird. So I decided I could interrupt them before anything got serious and ask where the Café was.

"Um…excuse me." I said in a quiet, tiny voice. Surprisingly they heard me and stop arguing. The boy with the tattoo spoke first.

"Oh~ hey cutie! You need something?" I ignored his "cutie" comment and ask about the Café.

"I'm looking for a place called Café Flowers…Could you tell me where it is?"

"Of course sweetheart, all you have to do is walk straight and it should be on your left side." I felt stupid when he told me that. All I had to do was keep walking straight? Ugh.

"Thank you." I said and started to walk away but he grabbed my hand and turned me around to face him.

"You're a cute girl with a nice figure. Can I take you out on a date?"

I looked at him with a surprised look on my face. He started to smirk when he saw that I was blushing. I dislike smug people so I kicked him hard in the stomach. I looked at the doctor and told him that his friend might need a check up and walked away.

I finally found the Café. I looked for a seat, ordered some coffee and waited for my boss. I looked at the time and it was now 6:27pm. Now I have to find something to do for 33 minutes. I thought about Abi again and decide to call her. Her phone went straight to voice mail. I figured as much. She didn't want to talk and so did I.

I hung up the phone and was startled when some one touched my shoulder. It was a guy wearing a long black trench coat. He had long white hair and purple eyes. He looked really creepy in my opinion. He gave me a sinister smile.

"Hello~"
