Seeing the eggshells cracked on the side walk and the yoke splattered across the windows, Alex grumbled. She sighed an unlocked the front door. The Frenchie sat her bag down on the front desk. She grabbed an old rag from a shelf, walking back outside. She shook her head and started to (tried) scrub all the egg yoke off the windows.

Alex plopped down in her seat. After two hours, she had finally finished cleaning the window and sweeping the eggshells up.

I swear I need to install a security camera so I can see who keeps egging my shop... she thought to herself.

Alex sighed, looking around with a small smile. Sure, it sure was hard to put up with jerks egging her shop all the time, but in the end of the day, it was worth it. Her shop was one of the few places she felt like she belonged though.

Misty poked Alex, causing her to look up. The shadow pointed at the door, causing Alex to groan as she saw the approaching party.

"Not them, I'm going to have to get a restraining order, I swear." She grumbles, yet she forced a smile when the two walked in.

"Va au diable." She smiled sweetly at them.

"Um, what?" Levi, the first boy ask, seeming he (nor his friend Greg) spoke French.

"Oh, it means welcome in French." Alex lied, seeming it really meant 'Go to Hell.' In French.

Greg and Levi shrugged, taking a look around the shop. They never came here to just look around, they always came to cause trouble. And not the good kind of trouble Alex caused when she's with her Troublesome Duo buddy, Dika. No, Greg and Levi were another kind of troublesome duo.

Greg and Levi walked through the store, going through stuff and telling Alex how much it all looked fake.

That's because it is, Alex thought to herself. As if I'd put real magical  items out here. The real stuff is outback, only available to my trusted fellow magic users.

"If all you're going to do is complain than get the hell out of my shop before I beat you with a broom or something!" Alex finally snapped.

"Like you would." Levi rolled his eyes.

Alex picked up a broom to prove her point as she chased the two boys off. She grumbled and locked the door. She had had enough of customers and people for one day.
