Early morning, in the living room...
Airi loudly said, ''Ami?! Ami?! Where are you?!'' Ami vexed, said, ''Can you be quieter, please?! I'm trying to prepare for my classes, and I don't need any migraines before it begins!''
Airi shyly said, ''S-Sorry, I forgot again.'' Ami bitterly asked, ''What is it, this time?''
Airi spiritedly said, ''I had to let you know... Yesterday, I got a job!'' Ami puzzlingly asked, ''What now?'' Airi zestfully said, ''Yesterday, I got hired by the convenience store, only a few blocks nearby!''
Ami mystified, asked, ''Hrm... How did one irritating specimen like you, honestly get hired by anyone?''
Airi shiningly said, ''Oh, why does that matter? I also wished to tell you, I got the idea from my newly made friend from our class!'' Ami asked, ''Friend? What friend is that?''
Airi merrily said, ''That's right! I didn't tell you about her yet! (Quickly brought out her phone) That's her!'' Ami in shock, asked, ''You took a photo of this girl?''
Airi festively said, ''Mm-hm!! Earlier, I didn't walk home with you, It was cause' I was with a classmate! Here she is, Miss Aya!
(Deep breath) Chatting with her after school, she told me that she works at a convenience store. Then it hit me, I should be working like she does! Where better, than working with my new friend!''
Ami coldly said, ''You do that. I couldn't care less...'' Airi eagerly asked, ''Sister?! I had a another idea. Why don't we both get hired?!''
Ami replied, ''Mm-hm..... (Quickly turns head) What?!''
Later, after school, in the back of the store...
The male manager nicely said, ''Your lucky that one of our regular clerk's was out sick today. I wish you luck, Miss...Ami? (Smiles, and walks away)''
Ami asked Airi, ''How did I get pulled into this situation?'' Airi laughingly said, ''Cheer up, and don't forget; At least your working with your twin sister. What could be better than that? (Giggles)''
Aya joyfully said, ''Your her twin sister, aren't you? It's a pleasure to truly meet you. I am Aya Tohru. (Smiles) Your Ami, right?''
Ami hesitantly replied, ''Hmm... I am... (Thinks inside) This is her new friend? She's not, what I pictured... Who is she?''
Aya contently said, ''Alright... Let's us all get to our jobs, and let's do our bests, okay?'' Airi gleefully said, ''I'm stoked to work at the register! Come on, let's go!''
Ami thought, ''I didn't want this job, despite that... One should always strive to have honest work values, so..... I will show them how diligent I can be... (Fixes glasses, and smirks)''
Later, with Airi...
Aya asked, ''I think I taught you everything... Are you ready to ring up customers, Airi?'' Airi cheerfully replied, ''Nope! I think I got a hold on what you taught me. Thank you, Aya-Senpai.''
Aya quietly said, ''Here comes your first customer. Remember what to say?'' Middle-aged man asked, ''Is this aisle open?''
Airi cheerily said, ''As of now, it is. Are you buying all of this, sir?'' Middle-aged man said, ''That's right. Can I have plastic bags, please?'' Airi and Aya nodded to each other.
Airi asked, ''Will you be paying with cash and or the card, sir?'' Middle-aged man said, ''Uh-uh... Cash. (Getting wallet) Mm... Miss, I just realized... You look young. Are you a high-schooler?''
Airi merrily replied, ''You are correct! I am 16, and today is my first day.'' Middle-aged man said, ''How amazing. Kids are working younger and younger these days. (Sighs)''
A couple minutes later...
Airi said with a smile, ''That will be 1,777¥.'' Middle-aged man said, ''This should be the right amount. (Smiles) Miss? I am curious. Am I your first customer?''
Airi smilingly replied, ''(Nods) Yes, you are!'' Middle-aged man happily said, ''Then, I wish you luck, and I thank you for a great check-out experience. (Chuckles) Goodbye.''
Airi earnestly said, ''Thanks a lot! (Giggles) I- We hope you come back soon. (Waves hand)''
Aya shockingly thought, ''She did all that?, on her first try? She did better than I could have hoped for... Airi didn't forget anything I taught her..... Where did she come from?''
Aya bamboozled, said, ''Airi... That was perfect! I'm amazed by your talent. You didn't mess up once.'' Airi replied, ''I didn't? Thanks you for your kind words. I'll keep it up, for this great feeling...''
Aya said, ''Another customer is oncoming!''
Meanwhile, in the close-by aisle with Ami...
Ami thought peeking around the corner, ''What has she done with my sister? Is my glasses playing tricks on me? (Sighs) I must accept the truth... No fair... I will focus myself and I will must pull my weight as well.''
Later...
Ami variously thought, ''These cans go on the second shelf level, don't they?' 'Wait, who left these cheesepuffs here?!' 'These are where they belong. Better. (Realizes) Ohh, I better get back to my spot!'
Confused man asked, ''Um, miss? Do you know where the frozen meats are?'' Ami coldly replied, ''Hrm..... I don't know?! (Secretly panicking)''
Other Female employee said, ''Excuse me? Can you re-stock these glass jars now, please? They need to go on those shelves over there, you got that miss?''
Ami shyly nodded and thought, ''Breakable glass jars? How fortunate...''
Old female asked, ''You over there?'' Ami bitterly said, ''What...is it?'' Old female said, ''I thought I would let a worker know... It seems that someone left throw up in aisle 9.''
Ami distressingly thought, ''(Groans) Dear god.....''
After a long day of work, on the way home...
Airi serenely said, ''That felt so splendid! (Stretches)'' Aya perplexed, said, ''I'm in awe, and I'm proud of you, Airi. You were so fantastic as a cashier, and it was your first day. (Thumbs up)''
Airi said with a warm smile, ''Thank you. I don't know why, but it's always been my ability to pick up what I was taught in a swift flash.''
Ami irked, thought, ''How can she comprehend something so rapidly? That shouldn't be possible! How is she my sister? And... how do I share...the same blood as her.....?''
Next time...
