Chapter 5: red dot sale
In the morning everyone was up and working hard.
"Good morning!"
"Morning!"
Loona was putting red dots on some items then got ready "Take a breath." She took a deep breath then fixed a button "Calm as a candle." She got shocked at the customers she saw then she opened the door "Morning, welcome to The Fireplace." Then she took a deep breath and began helping them. Mixadel tried to take a can from the bottom. "Whoa, whoa. They're all the same." She grabbed the can from the top got him "Just take one from the top." Mixadel groaned "Thanks for shopping."
A man put the stickers on the counter "So many stickers for sale." Loona looked shocked. Moominmama asked "Are these fragile?" Then she put every single one into her basket "No, wait." Some broke making Loona have a stifled scream. Loona took a log from booger before he ate it "You have to pay before you eat." Then Loona got some coins then got bombarded with questions "What's your return policy?" "Does this come in a large?"
Loona then did a mantra "Take breath. Make connection." "My dad broke this." "Mind if I test this kettle?"
Loona said running off "Be back in five minutes." She went to the basement then screamed making everything on fire then everyone heard the pipes rattling.
Then water came out. Extinguishing Loona a bit then making her jump on some boxes then she used an umbrella then went to the pipe then closed it. Loona saw the flooding everywhere "No, no, no. Stupid temper. Not today." She ate some wood then got her eye back "What is wrong with me?" Then she heard some bubbling then saw someone crying come out of the water "What the...?" The water guy was Bloo as he stared at the picture "What a happy family." He showed the picture to Loona "Is that you and your dad? I love dads." He gasped "And it's your birthday!" He sobbed more.
Loona asked while trying to not get water on her "Who are you? What are you doing here?" Bloo replied "I don't know. I was searching for a leak on the other side of the river and got sucked in. This is bad I can't lose another job. I just can't seem to find my flow." Bloo stood up and he was buff. Loona said "Dang."
Bloo groaned "That pipe squished me all out of shape." He shook it off then he was to his original form "That's better." Loona said "Dude, just get out of here. I gotta clean this mess before my dad sees what I did." Bloo groaned, "Actually..." He walked to the pipe center then took out a pad and pen "I'm afraid Im gonna write you a ticket."
Loona asked "A ticket?" Bloo wrote down a ticket "Yeah...I'm a city inspector. And this pipe is definitely not up to code."
Loona asked "I sucked a city inspector into our pipes?" Bloo replied "I know. Ironic right?" He tapped a pipe. Loona said "Stop messing with that."
Bloo walked around "Well, I need to make sure it's solid." "Everything's solid. I should know. My dad rebuilt this place himself."
Bloo asked "Wait, your dad did?" Loona replied "Yes, with his bare hands, every brick and board. It was a ruin when he found it."
Bloo said "Wow. He did all of this himself? Without permits?" Loona said "Uh..." She gulped. Bloo said with waterfalls coming out of his eyes "I'm gonna have to write that up too. First, I'm sucked into a pipe... and now I have to write citations that could get this place shut down. Oh, gosh. It's just too much."
Loona asked "Shut us down?" Bloo replied "I know, it's awful." Loona said "No, you can't shut us down, please. This is a big day for me." She tried to grab the notepad from bloo "It's our Red Dot Sale."
Bloo began walking out "Hey, take it easy. This is as hard on me as it is on you."
Loona said "Get back here."
Bloo said "Sorry. I got to get these to City Hall before the end of my shift." He went out of the window.
Loona grunted then groans. Then she saw the button then groaned out "Flame." She took off the apron then ran out as another pipe burst. She followed bloo "Get back here."
Blitz looked out the window "Hmm?"
