Knock Knock Knock
This late at night? Does the company not know its her day off. J lifted herself up and trotted towards the door, opening it slightly to see who was intruding on her quiet time, it was none other than N, much to her misery. It was 2 in the morning, and J was on her last day off. Come to think about it, it was N's last day off too, they had a mission to eradicate all Worker Drone life from Copper 9. She did not want to bring N with her, she wanted V and G. G was her boyfriend so it was very one sided, speaking of G, he should be coming back later in the day. G was in the top squad, which made J wish she was in that squad, not only was it top squad, but her best friend and boyfriend in that squad. What was she doing again? Oh yeah N.
"What do you want moron, its 2 in the morning."
"Um.. Hi J... I watched something on the TV, and it was an advert. And, are we allowed to buy stuff?"
Buy stuff? What was N talking about? Underneath J's eyes was a subtitle 'visible confusion' as she stared at N. She had heard N talk about random crap before, but not from an advert, so this was interesting to hear. "An advert you say?"
"Yes. An advert, on TV."
Now N had really gotten J's attention. N walked away from the door, signalling J to follow him, J followed out of curiosity, to N's room, she walked in and stared at a paused screen of a toy dog advert for $59.99, and J dropped to the floor laughing. A Murder Drone playing with a toy dog... Something designed for a human child. Surely he was not serious. Clearing up her laughter, she stood up to confront N about his choice. "You're being serious? A toy? N how old are you."
"Am I suppose to know?"
Smartest thing he has ever said. And only J heard it. Congrats N.
J walked out of N's room, slamming his door as she left, laughing all the way back to her room.
Finally time for rest, she could wait the night off, and get back to G, oh what a life worth living. Now to close her eyes and sleep. Roughly around 3 hours later, at 5 in the morning. J wakes up to the sound of... Jolly upbeat music? At 5? She sat up from bed, and spun herself around to stand up. She was too tired to deal with whatever was going on, so walked out her room without doing her hair or wearing anything, instead she just put her duvet around her. Why was she not surprised, it was coming right from N's room. Without knocking, she kicks the door in to see N dancing a long with the same dog toy that was on the advert. N stared blankly at J and was not entirely sure what to say, he resisted the urge to laugh at his boss's messy and undone hair. But also had to keep eye contact as to not stare at her body which was only partially covered up. J put her arm out and it whirled into her machinegun, and with one bullet took out the toy. This caught N's attention who just stared at what remained of it. All the while J left without even saying a word. "J was that really needed?" Oh it was V.
J walked back to her room without taking much notice, holding her middle finger up whilst she slowly slumped back to her room. V took a peek into N's room, J forgot to close his door and had just left N to stare at the wreckage. N was on his knees just holding the only thing that was not ruined, the head of the toy. He looked disappointed, but it was the look of 'I knew this would happen but I was not prepared for it to happen.' V just slowly closed the door and went back to her own bedroom.
Morning arrived, J was wide awake and she jumped out of bed, preparing herself and running right outside of her room and towards G's room hoping he was back, but as she ran past N's room, she stopped. It was quiet. Usually N would be watching TV or talking to himself using his home made puppets. J took a small peak into his room, instead he was just sitting in the corner with his head tucked into his knees. He caught sight of J and let out a smile, he waved slowly then sat his head firmly back into his knee's. J shrugged and continued to run towards G's room. V's room was also quiet. Again unusual as she would normally be tearing up her curtains or bedsheets. But instead when J peered in she saw nothing. V was not in. Oh well, she then continued her way to G's room, but bumped into V on the way. V held a box in her hands.
"Yo V, what's in the box?"
"New bedsheets."
This was pretty normal, but usually they came in slightly bigger boxes. She again shrugged it off and continued to G's room. All the while, V continued to walk down the corridor, but she walked past her room.
An hour later, N emerged from his room, but his door was stopped by something he looked down to see a small box that was ladled 'To N'. He had never been given a gift before. He opened up the box, and he almost dropped it from excitement, a replacement robot dog, this time with yellow eyes and a note, "Just don't let J see it :)".
"Puppy!"
V smiled from her room, she had not been noticed, and planned to stay that way. She saw G and J walking down the hall, looking like they where heading for J's room. V leaped out with her torn bedsheet and pretended to tear it up.
"On second thought lets go to your room GG. V will be at that for a while..."
J and G turned around and slowly walked back down the corridor, when they where out of sight, V retreated back into her room. Successfully masking N.
"She is so pretty... I wonder what she thinks of me."
