Swallowing the nausea deep inside her, Sarah picked up a few cases of the Xpect drink.
"Where are you taking those things?" Britney asked, still holding her stomach.
"To work. We've got some many of them that I can bring a few cases to work. My boss has been looking for an official drink to tie-in with the gym, and I maybe I can to him this energy drink. It'll be a simple process: I'll get my work-out class and a few of my personal clients on it, have them tell my boss how much they love it, and then with the fitness competition in 9 days, we can make it the official energy drink of the gym, and with it being so cheap from that website, we could order hundreds of cases of it, and sell it for a huge markup.
If I can get my boss to sign on it, it could be huge for me, huge for him, huge for my clients, huge for my class, and huge for the gym" Sarah said, unaware of her soon-to-be ironic in-the-future words she was saying.
"Do you really think you can get your class to take it?" Britney asked, plopping down on the couch, trying to rest after her bout of explosive nausea.
"Sure. My all-girl work-out class would love something like this. I mean, most of the girls in their are in the later 30's to mid-40's, single and/or divorced, you just have to pitch them the wonders it could do to their bodies. I mean, it's not called Femme-Fit class for any old reason" Sarah finally finished.
"Well good luck" Britney said, pulling a sleep mask over her face.
"You're just going to sleep while I'm gone?" Sarah asked.
"I'm exhausted. And starving." Britney replied.
Sarah herself was feeling both exhausted and hungry, but she pushed the thought aside. She needed to work, and she planned out her caloric intake DAYS in advance, which was how she stayed in amazing jaw-droppingly sexy shape.
"Well good luck with that" Sarah said, grabbing a few cases of the energy drink and heading off to her car. After shoving the cases back in the trunk and backseat of her car, she turned over the ignition and headed off to work.
Singing along to some pop-song on the radio, Sarah's mood improved tremendously. She had seemingly forgotten all about the neusea or the gnawing hunger that was slowly creeping up to the point-of "uncontrollable". She pulled into the mall-sized parking lot of "MegaGym", which was less of a gym, and more of a fitness megaplex. A huge 3 story building that featured boxing rings, treadmills, an olympic indoor swimming pool, practically every thing you could ever imagine. A huge banner hung outside the building of the gym, along with dozens of signs that read "MegaGym Mega Fitness Show - Clients and Employee Categories. Sign up now. Huge cash prize!"
She parked in her employee parking space and grabbed the case of drinks from the back before walking into the front doors of MegaGym.
Upon entering she was hit by a cacophony of noises, personal trainers screaming at the top of their lungs to tell people to "Push It! Push It!", the sounds of TV blaring as people exercised in front of them, among other things.
Putting down the drink on the front desk counter, she typed in her employee number and punched herself into the system. Her job as a trainer and class teacher was a pretty sweet one. Hourly wages as well as bonuses for personal clients who met their fitness goals. As a fitness freak, getting paid to stay in shape and help others and get paid for it, really made everything better.
"You were almost late Sarah" Rebecca said from behind the check-in desk with a cackle. Rebecca, Sarah's frienemy and rival, was almost the exact mirror image of Rebecca, except with fiery red-hair. "Oh you know how it is. You go for a five-mile jog and - - - Well maybe you DON'T know how it is" Sarah said, shooting back friendly vitriol. "And what do we have here?" Rebecca asked, grabbing a can of Xpect.
"Just a new product I'm going to have my Femme-Fit class try. Once it's a hit, I'm going to pitch it to the boss and then that promotion and raise is mine" Sarah said with a smile. Rebecca opened the can with POP, and smelled the drink. "If this thing dosen't kill everyone first" Rebecca said, putting the can to her lips.
"Please, it's meant to give you energy and cleanse your body of toxins. I've already had a can this morning, and I feel fantastic" Sarah lied, but it was okay as long as she could get people hooked on this stuff. It's not like it could hurt anyone right?
Rebecca took a big long gulp, before putting it down, a weird expression crossing her face. "Great stuff huh?" Sarah asked. "Uh - yeah" Rebecca said, finishing off the can before throwing it into the recycling.
"Here a take a six-pack. Pass it around to everyone. Make sure they know you got it from me and this gym!" Sarah said, picking up the case and heading of towards the changing rooms, unaware that moments later Rebecca was puking her guts out into a near-by trashcan.
Changing over into her sleek skin-type blue leotard that hugged and showed off her every curve, Sarah grabbed the rest of the drinks and headed into her Femme-Fit class, where her twenty or so "pupils" were waiting for her.
"Afternoon ladies" Sarah said, grabbing her leg behind her and stretching. Her "class" as she called it, was twenty or so women, aged from 18 to 65, whom were actively serious about getting in shape in a safe womanly environment. While some of the women were married, most of the class was made up of late 30's to late 40's singles and divorcees who were trying to get in shape for today's competitive dating market, while one woman, Theresa, was in her mid-60's and just wanted something that would make her feel young again.
"No time for taking, we have a lot to do today. So let's get going!" Sarah said, putting on the CD and leading the class in a variety of exercises from yoga, to cardio, to aerobics and more. After the time with the class came to a close, Sarah brought out the stack of Xpect and presented it in front of the class.
"Ladies, I have a special treat for us. I know some of you don't like or aren't into energy drinks, but I've found this great new product called Xpect, and let me tell you something, it's fantastic. It gives you such much energy and flushes your body of toxins! I have cases of this stuff since this gym will start carrying it exclusively soon. I want each and everyone of you to drink a can now, to get back into you electrolytes and energy you've just spent on this exercise. Some come on, I won't take no for an answer!" Sarah said, handing out a can to each woman in the group.
She watched one by one as each woman in the group opened the can and drank it, some of them chugging it, others like Theresa slowly and cautiously drinking it, afraid it might attack them.
"Everyone take another can with them and give it to someone they know. Tell them where they can get it and how much it's changing your life! And I'll see everyone back here the day after tomorrow!" Sarah said, dismissing the class, unaware of the "gravid" consequences that were quickly unfolding out of sight of Sarah.
Sarah's class met every other day, and one of those days would be 9 days from now on the day of the big "Fitness Show" that she and many of the women in the class would be participating in.
Toweling down the sweat, Sarah looked at the clocked and wondered her next move.
