11-A few days after the last chapter, at office.—
Hyoga—Ikki, what are you doing?
Ikki—I'm playing computer. Why?
Hyoga—How can you avoid working?
Ikki—You're really stupid, you know? Do you think Seiya notices anything? He's too busy staring at his screensaver...
Hyoga—I thought that had a deadline...
Ikki—It has. What you got to do is: if you need a day to do it, ask for a week. Do always like that. Seiya isn't so smart that he can notice it, so you have nothing to worry about...
Shiryu—Hey guys. What are you doing?
Ikki—What are you doing here at this time of the day? We've been here for 2 hours.
Shiryu—Calm down. I've got an excuse. I took Saori to the doctor.
Ikki—Why couldn't Tatsumi take her?
Shiryu—Don't you know? Tatsumi lost his driver's license.
Hyoga-Really? Why?
Shiryu—Don't you know? He was caught drinking and driving.
Ikki—Oh. So now he's hitting the bottle?...
Hyoga—Must've got tired of putting up with Saori...
Enters Deathmask.
DM—Shiryu, I hope you have a good excuse for being 2 hours late.
Shiryu—Yes, I do have. I took Saori to the doctor.
DM—Hm, I know nothing about that. But this time I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. And where is Shun?
Ikki—He went to get some coffee.
Hyoga—Why don't you get a coffee machine here? It's another part of your plan to torture us, isn't it?
DM—That's not of my department. I assure you that unfortunately I don't have anything to do with that. If I had, there would be only 1 coffee machine for the entire building.
Shun arrives with 3 cups of coffee(expresso XD)
Shun—Here's your coffee.
Hyoga—Damn. This is cold already.
Shun—Ikki!
Ikki—Don't talk to my bro like that, are you hearing me, duck?
Hyoga—It's a Swan!
DM—Muhahaha. It seems my colleague in supplies also likes to make people suffer...
Shiryu—Why isn't there any coffee for me?
Ikki—'Cus you weren't here when Shun went to get it...
Shiryu—Oh, right(blushes).
DM—Well, like I'm in a good mood today, I'll give you the number of the guy who's in charge of the coffee machines. You can go and talk to him, but I doubt it will do any good. Once I had to wait 3 weeks to get the coffee machine in my office fixed up...
Ikki—You have a coffee machine in your office? Buaaaa.
Hyoga—Why are you so perky today?
DM—Oh, that reminds me why I came here. Well, the problem is that, according to a survey we conduced on our clients, the main complain they have about our employees, is that they can't dress properly, like, they wear the same outfit all the time, or they wear clothing of enormous bad taste, like white socks...
Ikki—Histerycal laugh.
All look weirdly at Ikki for a bit.
DM—Anyways, the solution we came up with was to find a beauty consultant for you...
Hyoga-A what?
DM—Think Queer Eye For The Straight Guy. Think of all the 5 in just one person. Now imagine that person is a consultant. There you have... He'll buy you some decent clothes and get you a new look.
Ikki—Why does it have to be us to participate in that brilliant idea of yours?
DM—'Cus you are the only ones doing nothing...
Shun—Hipee, we're going to a beauty session...
All sweetdrops.
Hyoga—Hve you told that to Seiya?
DM—I just did.
Ikki—What did he think?
DM—I don't think he liked the idea, but I think he should be grateful for someone to change his hairstyle...
Shun—And how's going to be that consultant?
DM—You'll see. Well, if you really want, you can go talk with that guy about the coffee machine. Well, I got to go now, I'll have lunch with the CEO. Oh, by the way, Shun you can kiss that little plant on your desk goodbye.
Shun—Why? I want my plant!
DM—Plants attract bugs. Our CEO hates bugs. It's not my fault. Get a pplsatic plant.
Shun—BUAAAAAAAAAAAAA. I want my plant.
DM—Man! Make him quiet.
Ikki—The only way is to let the plant stay.
Shun—BUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.
DM—Ok, he can keep the plant. But tell him to shut up.
Shun—Thank you, I knew you weren't that bad.
Deathmask walks out, taking a Prozac tablet.
Shiryu—Do you really think it's any good talking to this guy to see if he can get us a coffee machine?
Hyoga—We can try...
Ikki—I'll go there talk to that guy. Where do you say we need to go?
Hyoga—Here it says 2nd floor.
Ikki—I'm going.
-In the 2nd floor.—
Ikki—Where is this guy's office?
Teamster—It's right there on the left.
Ikki—Thanks.
Ikki walks to the director's office lobby.
Ikki—Can I speak to that director guy?
Dumb blonde secretary 2—What do you want to talk to him about?
Ikki—About coffee machines.
Dumb blonde secretary—You'll have to wait in line like everybody else.(she points to a big line of people standing at the door of the director's office.)
Ikki stands in line.
Ikki—How long do you think we're gonna stay here?
Guy 1—I dunno about you, but I brought my lunch with me.
Guy 2—I've been here since yesterday. I'm not leaving.
Ikki—I'll give you 100 bucks if you leave.
Guy 2—Oh well, I was just leaving anyway.(Grabs the money from Ikki's hands. Everybody sweadrops.)
-Meanwhile—
Shiryu—Damn, this ï ¦â ï £ï «ï ©ï ®ï §ï computer crashed again...
Hyoga—I wonder if someone deep in this company thinks we're this place's dump... Let me talk to Ikki(Grabs his cell phone.) Ikki, since you're there to talk with the coffee machine guy, can't you see if you can get us some decent computers?
Ikki—I'll try.
Hyoga—Do you think you'll take long? Seiya asked for you...
Ikki—What did he want?
Hyoga—He wanted you to grab him a burger...
Ikki—Tell him I'm not his secretary.
Hyoga—I already told him to get one. But are you going to take long?
Ikki—Dunno. Don't think so. There are only 40 more people ahead of me...
Hyoga—Ok, cool.(Hangs us.)
Shun—So, is he going to take long?
Hyoga—He says there's only 40 more people ahead of him. He must e done quickly...
Seiya(Walks in)—Hei guys! How you doing?
Hyoga—Seiya, just the one I was looking for! I need 500 bucks...
Seiya—I can only give you 50.
Hyoga—That will do.
Seiya—What do you need 500 bucks for?
Hyoga—I need to buy a new chair. This one is broken...
Seiya—I taught it was already broken when we got here...
Hyoga—Then it was just a bit unstable.
Seiya—Why don't you just give supplies a call?
Hyoga—I tried. They said they don't have any chairs in stock that are bad enough to send here. So I need the money. Then you cash it on accountancy...
Seiya—How can I convince an accountant that you need a new chair? You'll just going to keep that one...
Hyoga-But if I sit on this chair I get so uncomfortable I can't even think. I got an idea, let's switch chairs. You don't think anyway...
Seiya—You're not requires to think in this job...
Hyoga—Bua-a-a.
Seiya—If you really need a new chair, try to convince the accountants that you really need a new chair. I have no problem getting you the 50 bucks.
Seiya walks out.
Hyoga—I guess I'll really have to go see the accountants...
Shun—Are you passing by the bar? If you are, can you bring me a lolly pop?
Hyoga—I'm going to no bar. I'm not your servant. Go get it yourself...
Hyoga walks out.
-At Seiya's office—
Seiya(Thinking)—I really need to get a secretary. Other executives don't respect me 'cus I don't have one. I'll have to ask Deathmask for one...
Seiya rises and goes to DM's office.
Seiya(thinking)—Oh, Deathmask's secretary is not here. I'll have to barge in than...
Seiya opens the door repently.
Seiya—Heyyy there!
DM—AUUUUU. You idiot, did u see what you done? You'd almost made me get my scissors into my brain.
Seiya—Oh, why do you have to cut your nose hair on office anyway?
DM—I do what I want. Why didn't my idiot secretary warn me you wanted to see me?
Seiya—She's not there?
DM—What? What is she doing?
Seiya—I dunno. But that reminds me why I came here.
DM—Why?
Seiya—I need you to get me a secretary!
DM—Have you been drinking too much coffee? Don't you know we're at our maximum employee capacity?
Seiya—But if I don't get a secretary other executives are never going to respect me...
DM—Why don't you try to earn they're respect by working?
Seiya—But I need a secretary! I'm the only executive without one...
DM—We'll do like this: you get someone to quit his job, and I get a secretary for you.
Seiya—It seems fair. You'll see I'll get someone to quit.
Seiya walks out.
DM(thinking)—What an idiot. If he does get someone to quit I'll eat my hat. Or I would, If I had an hat...
At the door of the accounting department.
Hyoga—Can I see the director of this thing?
Dumb blonde secretary 3—Yes, you can. He's not doing anything important...
Hyoga—Knock knock.
Voice—Come in!
Hyoga—Ok.
Mu—What can I do for you Hyoga?
Hyoga—Mu?
Mu—Of course. Or do you think you would be repairing clothes(armours) for the rest of my life?
Hyoga—Still, I never imagined you would end up here...
Mu—You know how much they are paying me for this? Well, it doesn't matter anyway. I bet you didn't came here to ask me how much money I make...
Hyoga—Well, the truth is that I come here 'cus Seiya sent me. He doesn't want to give me 50 bucks to buy a new chair. He says it's your fault, and if I can convince you to give the 50 bucks, it's all ok with him...
Mu—Well, let's see, what's wrong with the chair?
Hyoga—The seat is broken, and I can't seat because it sting my ass...
Mu—Couldn't you fix that yourself? Is there really a need to buy a new chair?
Hyoga—No, I can't fix it. It's really rotten...
Hyoga—Couldn't you get a cheaper chair? Does it have to be a 50 bucks chair? Can't you get a 2nd hand one?
Hyoga—Like the 15th hand trash you got us...
Mu—Why not?
Hyoga—Ahhhhhhhh
-Meanwhile—
Seiya—I wonder when is that consultant guy showing up...
Shiryu—Why are you so anxious? Wanna change looks as quickly as possible?
Seiya—Look who's talking. You haven't cut that hair since you were born...
Shiryu—At least it's well taken care of, unlike that haystack you carry on the top of your head...
DM—Attention, here's you beauty consultant!
Aphrodite—Hello sexys!
Shiryu—Him?
DM—I hope you're all happy with my choice. Muhahaha.
DM walks out.
Aphrodite—Well, let's start the Make Over. Shiryu, you need a hair cut and new clothing. You got to start wearing anything else beside that Kimono...
Shiryu—My hair. BUAAAAA
Aphrodite—Seiya, you'll need a total make over. New hair cut, new clothes, but especially a new hair style. Did you fell asleep in the 50's?
Seiya—What's wrong with my hair?
Aphrodite—Shun, you'll only need new clothing, that style is so not you. I got to give you 3 a more professional style. Where are the other 2?
Shiryu—They're busy. And I wish I was too...
Aphrodite—Oh, do not despair. You'll see, after we finish you'll thank me for what I did. Now let's go.
Shiryu—Where are we going?
Aphrodite—We're going to the mall, to get you some new clothes.
Shiryu—Ahhhhhhg.
-At supplies—
Ikki(Thinking)—Man, there's only one more guy in there speaking to the director guy, and then it's me. It looks like all this waiting time is worth something.
A furious guy walks out of the director's office.
Voice—NEXT!
Ikki walks in.
Aldebaran—IKKI! You here?
Ikki—Aldebaran, what are you doing here?
Aldebaran—The same as you. Pretending to work. So, what brings you here?
Ikki—I got a problem with our coffee machine. It looks like there's only one machine to every other floor, so every time we want coffee, we have to go to the other floor to get it. That's very tiring. Can't you find a way of bringing the coffee machine to our floor?
Aldebaran—Which floor do you work in?
Ikki—5th floor.
Aldebaran—Well, I can't get the coffee machine out of the 6th floor 'cus very important people work there. People who could get me fired if I annoyed them too much. And you know what Saori does to those who got fired, don't you?
Ikki—That's a no. Ok, I tried...
Ikki walks out.
Guy 3—I couldn't help but earing your conversation with the director guy. You're from 5th floor to, so let's do it this way, I got another 2 co- workers, this here behind me, we're planning in stealing the coffee machine from the 6th floor and get it to the 5th. Like everyone's stupid around here no one will notice it's the same machine. What do you say?
Ikki—Count me in...
Guy 3—Cool then, I'm Isaac. This here is Daniel and this is Tina. We'll meet at 9 PM on the parking lot. Be there.
Next chapter:
-Will Hyoga manage to convince Mu he needs a chair to work?
-Will Seiya get someone to quit his job?
-What's Aphrodite going to do with the Knights?
-Will Ikki manage to kidnap the coffee machine?
To be continued.
Thanks for all who reviewed. And review more
