004--Cinderella. Sort of.

And she's missing a shoe.]

Definitely easier to hide here than in the hedges. Someone always finds me when I'm--

[Cut off by her phone ringing, playing 'Brown Eyed Girl' as the ringtone]

....oh, no. It's Mum. [Presses the ignore button] She really needs to find a hobby that doesn't involve setting me up with every pretty boy she's introduced to.

I see! They must be quite proud of you both.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

They are. They'll probably do the same for my birthday, too.

[contract_star]

[Smiles.] You're lucky.

Did you ever end up defeating those amoebas?

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

I did, yeah. Everything was fine in the end, 'cept my clothes. Had to get rid of those.

[contract_star]

That's too bad. Are all the aliens you meet the violent kind?

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Oh, no, not all of them. I meet loads of nice ones.

[contract_star]

Ah, that's good. It would really be unfortunate if all aliens ended up being like in the movies. You must learn all kinds of things.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

I do, yeah. It's brilliant. And I think I've met more nice ones than bad ones.

[contract_star]

Sounds like very fulfilling work. It's nice to have a job that makes you happy.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

I think I'd go crazy if I had any other job.

[contract_star]

I'd like to find a job like that someday. Not necessarily working with aliens, of course.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

You just have to look in the right places.

[contract_star]

Heh, it's a little more complicated where I'm from, but you have a point.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's not really easy.

[contract_star]

[Shrugs.] Who knows. Maybe things will work out.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Hopefully they will!
