Part 1: Opportunity

—————

She has been waiting for this moment her whole life! She is finally graduating with her Degree in Archaeology and other sciences. She is walking up to the podium to except her certificate and make her valedictorian speech.

She hears the cheers of her fellow graduates and smiles. They all toss their caps in the air with a unified cheer and she can't wait to live her dream.

Two months later.....

Amy sits at her desk as she waits for time to go by. Here she is in an science museum and she is a mere coffee girl to the Marine Biology Department Leader.

She isn't even the assistant! She didn't spend all that time in college to waste all of the degrees she got.

"Sigh...This is not how I thought my life would go....", she sighed to herself.

"Miss Amy! There is a shipment coming in this afternoon at 1:30, can you please take the shipment to the Sanitation Lab while I sign the papers?", a voice calls out.

She looked up at the Department Manager and nodded.

"Sure, is Professor Lea not in today?", she asks.

"Unfortunately, no. She's on leave.", the manager says.

Amy sat up straight.

"But Professor Lea is the Department Leader! Who will take her place?", she worried.

"I'm not sure, I've been thinking of asking her assistant, but she doesn't have the stomach for dirt. She is a Germ-a-phobe.", they remind her.

They shook their head at this.

"Dirt? Don't you mean water?", she was confused.

"Well, a mess is a mess.", the manager shrugs.

They look over their phone for a second, while Amy thinks to herself.

"How about Dr. Hernandez? He has the same experience and Degree.", she brought up.

The Department Manager thought for a moment and smiled.

"You're right Miss Amy! He would be a great fit, you know, if you ever get a chance you should try for an assisting job.", they praise her.

She watches the Department Manager leave, before slumping back onto the desk.

"She still hadn't acknowledge my doctorates at all..... I'm a Doctor! A Geologist! An Archaeologist!

For crying out loud, I'm a Marine Biologist and Oceanologist too! ....Bio-engineer..... Minor in Technics...so many degrees....

No one can call Amy Rose anything less than intelligent!", she rants in her mind as she passes around coffees the next day.

That morning was busy with the content of yesterday's shipment being revealed. The whole department were gossiping as too why they even got it in the first place when they were supposed to only take care of fish and sea related items.

"This has nothing to do with fish! Or the ocean! This is a land artifact!", one said.

"Maybe there was a mix up?", said another.

———–

How.

Just.

How.

How did it come to this?

Well, this particular Science Museum has high pride, anything that embarrasses them in the tiniest amount is unacceptable.

That means she is fired. Why her, you ask?

Simple.

The Department Manager pushed the blame for not checking the content of the shipment on her.

"I was only doing what I was told! I was doing my job!", she screams into her pillow.

————–

Here's how it happen:

The shipment came and the both of them went to greet the delivery men.

The Department Manager started talking and signing right way. She looked on with a sweat.

"Wait, should we-"

"Miss Amy, hurry and bring the shipment to the Sanitation Department. I want to keep it as untampered with as possible until then."

"But-"

"Now, now. Please, stop worrying and take the shipment!"

She reluctantly did so.

How's it was told:

The shipment came and the both of them went to greet the delivery men.

The Department Manager starts to read the documents and Amy goes over to the shipment.

The Department Manager hears the sound of wheels and turns to see Amy walking a way with the shipment. Trusting Amy's judgement, they sign the documents despite the inconsistency of the papers.

Amy then tries to calm down with some Boxing. She wasn't being paid so highly, but she managed to get a sandbag.

The more she punched, the stronger the sandbag swings. Her last punch made the sandbag launched into the wall and rip a big hole in it. Sand got everywhere.

"Oh no! Seriously?", she growled.

She glared down at the mess when her phone rings.

"Hello? Amy Rose speaking.", she said.

"Miss Amy? It's Professor Hernandez. I have an Opportunity for you.", she heard.
