“So, I heard you were looking for a job, Twi sight.” Poppy said, smiling a fake smile at me as she took a seat in front of me at the table we were sitting in. Rarity and Sunset Shimmer gave her a confused glare.
“What are you doing here Poppy. Last time I checked, you were not invited. And how did you know that I needed a job?” I said, glaring at her and the looking to Rarity and Sunset Shimmer. They shook their heads and shrugged.
“I don’t need to be invited anywhere, Twisight. You should know that by now.” she replied, looking into a small pink hand mirror before looking up at me. “And as for knowing about the job, word gets around, especially for someone with such a small social range as you.” Poppy finished, smiling smugly at me.
Deciding to ignore her insults, I looked back at her. “So why exactly are you here? Even someone as evil as you doesn’t just needlessly interrupt someone’s day to say something obvious and rude. And I doubt you would come all the way here just to insult me. You always have a reason. So, get on with it.”
“Well! looks like your starting to actually develop a personality Twisight. Anyway, I didn’t come here to just poke fun at you. --”
“Really? Because that’s pretty much all your doing right now.” Sunset Shimmer interrupted.
Ignoring her, Poppy continued “I actually came here to help you out. Obviously, someone like you needs my assistance with these types of things, so I have come to your rescue.” She said, smiling like she was queen of the world and we were nothing but her subjects in need of assistance. Thanks, but no thanks.
“I don’t need help from a pretty pink princess like you, thank you very much. I can find a job perfectly well on my own.” I told her.
“Oh really? Well then, I guess that you don’t want a job as of this Friday at my father’s music store. It pays off well, $10 dollars an hour, every Sunday or whenever your available. It’s in the same mall that your friends work. Your boyfriend already works there.” Poppy said pointing to Flash.
“He’s not my boyfriend.”
“Well of course not. He would never date a girl who can’t make a simple decision. I can tell you need the money. Once you graduate your gonna need a car, an apartment, and,” she said, motioning to my outfit before getting up to leave, “some real clothes. Your loss. It’s not my fault if you’re the only one who can’t look presentable when you go out in public.” Once Poppy left, my friends turned to look at me. I guess that they were thinking the same thing as me, because they both asked if I was going to take the job.
“I don’t know. Poppy always has some sort of trick up her sleeve. And I don’t know anything about music or instruments.” I told them.
“Yes, but you really could use the money dear. The sooner the better.” Rarity said
“…Yeah, she said that you can get the job by Friday! That’s a pretty nice deal, especially for someone like her.” continued Sunset Shimmer.I guess I had a look of doubt on my face, because Sunset saw the need to push me into the deal. “And anyway,” she said smiling while motioning to Flash and his friends at another table., “you would get a chance to hang out with skater boy!”
“Oh yes,” Rarity said, pitching in, “I nearly forgot that he works there! You just have to go! He just might be able to help you out with your job.”
Flash works there? I should have seen that coming. A boy who loves music would definitely work at a music store. “If Flash works there then it’s a definite no. I am not going to embarrass myself around him. I already ruined his shirt. I’m not going to ruin his job too.” I told them. However, it was a pretty cool deal: I’ll need the money eventually, and that’s the whole reason I need a job now. If I start saving up, I’ll be all set when graduation comes. Plus, I get to work with Flash. Talk about a great deal. “Alright, fine.” I said. Big mistake. Poppy new that I would be terrible at the job, and she had everything all set up to make sure everyone knew about it.
