This choice: Laura helps one of her customers by using her powers. • Go Back...Chapter #9Laura helps one of her customers by using her p... by: Saracen1187   With her shower complete, Laura the Goddess willed herself out of it, and she appeared in the kitchen downstairs, her hair donw, and she was fully dressed for work in her red Wilko shirt, black slacks and her velcro-strap flats. A grin appeared across the omnipotent girl’s face as she realized how easy everything was now. She could literally do anything she wanted, no limitations whatsoever. After conjuring up a quick meal, she then teleported herself to work instantaneously, appearing at the front entrance of Wilkos. Nice! She smirked, nodding before strolling in the front doors.
“Good morning Laura.” Liz greeted her when she walked by the front help desk.
“It certainly is.” Laura replied, as the numberlock on the door leading upstairs began operating by itself... by Laura’s command. The door then swung open and Laura walked through and headed upstairs. In the tea room, she saw the usual faces of her co-workers, some of whom greeted her, like Nicola and Rebekah, and some who didn’t bother, such as Aaron and Charlotte. Laura just smiled at everyone and made a hot cup of coffee appear on the table in front of her. She might have been all powerful now, but she still had a taste for her favorite beverage. While she was sat there, she looked around at the tea room, which she had always thought looked drab, not to mention the cracks in the ceiling in places. “Hardly a fitting work place for a goddess.” Laura said, waving her hand as she smiled. The entire room changed, luxury curtains appearing in the window overlooking the street below, a coat of pink paint appearing on the walls and a fancy artexed ceiling also appearing. Several picture frames and other decorations sprang up throughout the room, giving it a more cosy feel. All her other co-workers said nothing as this all happened, since Laura had wished that they didn’t react/notice.
A few minutes later, Liz’s voice sounded over the tannoy, calling all her staff members onto the shop floor to start work. As everyone else walked over to the sink to wash their cups and put them back in the cupboard, Laura just made her cup disappear. They all then went downstairs to start work.
The first thing Laura noticed when she got downstairs, was a customer struggling to reach something on a top shelf. The woman was in her thirties, Laura estimated, was obviously a mother since two kids were nearby. “I bet they’re a handful for such a short woman.” Laura thought, noticing the woman was only about 5’ tall, roughly the same height as Nicola. Laura decided to give the woman a helping hand and she spotted another customer not far away, a young single man who was about 6' in height. “Up you go luv.” She chuckled, looking at the mother as she held a hand out and raised it slowly. As she did so... the woman began growing in height... gaining a full foot in height, making her 6’ tall. Conversely, the male customer was shrunk down to the woman's former height. Both their outfits automatically altered to fit and neither reacted, as per Laura's wish.
Feeling proud of herself for that little change, Laura then followed her co-workers to the help desk to get their work assignments from Liz.
