Part 7: Bad Day
Linh POV:
Linh stomped through the door of her and Tam's house. She passed a bewildered Tam and ran up to her room, where she proceeded to beat her pillow to death.
She loved her job, always had. Being a store owner was so much fun. The animals, the fun, the mischief. But sometimes the people were so rude!
Today an elf came into her shop and asked for an imp. She had showed him the options she had and he hadn't liked any of them. He had started ranting about everything that was wrong in his life and then how this was the breaking point and that she was incompetent.
Linh had to smile and pretend to understand all of his problems and finally he had left. It had completely ruined her day.
She clicked on her tv that was in her room, threw on a robe and fuzzy slippers, grabbed some custard bursts and watched a human movie she watched when she felt bad. It was called Legally Blonde.
After a while she heard a knock on her door. "Go away Tam." She yelled.
"Um, Linh, this is Wylie, our date remember?" Wylie's sweet voice filtered through the door.
Oh shit, her and Wylie's date. She had completely forgotten. "Of course I remembered. I'll be right there. Just need to pick out a purse and put on some mascara."
Linh leapt up, turned off the tv, hid the Custard Bursts and changed into a dark purple maxi dress. She swiped on mascara, put on heels and a matching purse. All of this she did in a matter of 2 minutes.
She walked out, smiling at Wylie. He was wearing a blue suit and a big grin.
They went to a restaurant in Atlantis called Underwater Flowers, they ate and chatted about everything. Linh held in her sadness and pretended she was great.
After a wonderful meal, they walked together through the town.
"Linh, how was your day? You seem kind of sad." Wylie asked her.
"Amazing." She lied bitterly.
"Please Linh, you can tell me if something is wrong." Wylie reassured her.
"It's nothing." She said, ready to end the conversation.
Wylie seemed not to get the cue and asked her again. "You can tell me if anything is wrong."
"Wylie, drop the subject." Linh said harshly.
"Ok, I was just trying to help." He said sadly.
"There you go, playing the victim, I had a bad day and I don't want to talk about it." She said loudly.
"Linh, what did I do, I just want to talk to you and I'm sorry if I offended you." Wylie looked confused.
"Just leave me alone." She yelled and ran away.

Wylie POV:
Wylie looked at Linh running away, what had he done? He didn't want her to be sad. What could he do.
He trudged through Atlantis, not sure what to do. He pulled out his imparter, still no message from Linh, he had been checking every 5 minutes.
The sky above was turning dark and stores were clicking on lights, alluminating Atlantis even more than before.
He remembered something his dad had done whenever his mom had a hard day, that was what he should do.
Spotting the exact store he needed, Wylie sprinted towards it.
A rose or two it was called. He opened the door, the bell jingled and the person behind the counter looked up.
"Hi young man. My name is Valencia. How can I help you?" She said.
Valencia was not much older than him, with long blonde hair that fell down her back like a waterfall.
"Hi Valencia, my name is Wylie, I need flowers." He said.
"Well obviously, this is a flower shop. What are you looking for, any specific type, for who? Your crush? Girlfriend? Boyfriend?" Valencia smiled at him.
"Well um I don't know what type of flowers she likes but she isn't my girlfriend, she's sort of my crush but I have already taken her on a few dates, but I'm not sure if she wants to be my girlfriend." Wylie rambled.
"Men are so clueless. If she has already been on several dates with you, she wants to be your girlfriend. Also my boyfriend Keith is still my crush." Valencia nodded. "Don't worry, Keith was clueless too, anyways, what is your crush's favorite color?"
"Purple and Blue." He replied.
"Perfect." Valencia stopped leaning on the counter and busied herself picking out flowers, Wylie watched with interest. A man walked in, with loose curly brown hair and slightly tanned skin with freckles.
"Hey babe." The man said.
"Hi." She said, stopping to kiss him. "Have fun with your friends Keith."
Keith left the store, smiling at Valencia.
"You must be really in love." Wylie told her.
"Yeah, I really love Keith. I can tell you feel the same way about your girl, you need to ask her to be your girlfriend." Valencia smiled, holding up a bouquet full of light to dark purple and blue flowers.
He gave her 30 lusters for the bouquet. "Thanks."
"Of course, now here is what you need to do to get your girlfriend." Valencia whispered it into his ear.

Linh POV:
Linh paced her room, what had Wylie even done to deserve her yelling at him? She didn't know. She felt bad.
Something knocked on her door, she opened it and found a bouquet of purple and blue flowers on the floor with a card sticking out.
"I found these on the porch for you." Tam yells from the stairs.
Linh picked them up and read the card.
Dear Linh,
I'm sorry that you had a bad day, I hope that you aren't mad at me. Even if you are, I understand. I shouldn't have pried. I am really sorry.
From,
Wylie
Linh was confused, was she his girlfriend, cause flowers seemed like a boyfriend thing to do but signing it from? Why not love?
She set the bouquet in a vase, the pulled out her imparter.
Tapping on his icon, she pressed call.
"Wylie you know I love you right. I'm sorry for getting mad." She said when he answered.
There was a pause then a, "I love you too Linh."
