Vaelyn couldn't believe what was happening. "Demoted? To some floor worker in a cafe? This is just a bad dream. A terribly tacky dream." She kept thinking this as she packed her things into boxes and moved them into the back of her car. Her twin brother Vaxshin came strolling into view. "What's with all the boxes?" Vaelyn felt her stomach plummet. What should she say to her loving brother? "I'm being transferred." Well this was partially true, Vaelyn thought, as she plopped another box into her trunk. "Where to? Is it far from here?" "It's in North Carolina somewhere. It's going to be just awful being away from New York." Her brother patted her on the shoulder. "You can always come chill with me when you are off. I know how busy you get in the office." Vaelyn nodded quickly. "Y-Yeah. Office....I better get the rest of this packed. Sorry I can't come over to play some video games." Vaxshin smiled and followed her up the stairs to her apartment. "I can help you here if you would like." Vaelyn hugged her brother and nodded as she pulled away. "That would be great."
After an hour or two of packing they took a break. "I will miss you too much." Vaelyn whispered. "I will miss you too, Vae." He wrapped his arms around her and gave her a warm hug which she accepted fully. "I have two more days here then I am off to Redneck Land." She smiled through the tears. She hated this was happening to her but she loved her job and wanted to keep it. Maybe if she was good they would give her back the position. Vaxshin took her out to dinner at their favorite pizza parlor two blocks from her apartment. Vaelyn laughed at Vaxshin while he swung his pizza slice around as he told her a story. "Then what happened?" "Well, I came in and the squirrel was in my boxers." Vaelyn laughed so hard her sides started to hurt and her eyes began to water. Just as she was calming down she saw him. He was a few tables away but for a moment their eyes had connected. A few lingering seconds until he broke the gaze. Her boss was there eating a large pizza with another gentleman. "Jeez, they are both hot. No. Must not think like that...." Vaelyn crossed her legs and took a long sip from her drink. "See that guy in the black suit over there? That's my boss. Weird that he eats here." Vaxshin glanced at her boss. "He's nice looking. Why don't you date him?" Why did her brother do this to her? "Shush you. It is wrong to date your boss. Plus he isn't my type." Vaxshin gave a devious grin. "You have a type?" "Shut up!" As they were bickering her boss had strode over to their table. "Hi there, Vaelyn. I didn't know you ate here." Vaelyn's face began to warm. "Um...yeah. It's close to my place and my brother likes the pizza here." Vaxshin stood to shake his hand. "I'm Vaxshin. I am Vaelyn's twin brother, as you can tell." They both smiled and shook each other hands quite firmly. "I am Miroku Nagasaki. I am Vaelyn's boss. You ready to go?" He looked to Vaelyn who was enjoying a slice of pepperoni pizza. "Mhmmm." She swallowed. "All packed and ready." She even threw in a smile for him. "This is a good coincidence. Your new boss is over at my table. His name is Nessai Tortelli. He may look young but he is our age. The green hair threw me off at first but when he opens his mouth you can tell he is an intellectual. I better go now. I hope to hear a report from you in a week." With that he walked back to his table. Two bosses, pizza, and a confused brother. What will she do now?
