Piper was known for her level-headedness and slacker attitude, but today she’s frantic. Because for the first time ever, Piper would become a progressive member of society; and she didn’t want to screw it up. Piper wasn’t going about this with her usually lax methods of thing, she been taking extra precaution to make sure things go as plan.
Dressed in her most work efficient ensemble, Piper was ready to walk out the door. But not before reexamining herself one last time in the hallway mirror. While checking for any unsightly details, Piper could see her mother approaching from behind with a smile on her face.
“Aww, my baby’s growing up,” Piper’s mother said sarcastically while flinging a fake tear from her eye.
Piper blew breath at her mother’s sly comment. She couldn’t wait for that first paycheck. And not for monetary reasons. The simple fact that her mother could no longer complain about her being a deadbeat was enough of an incentive to seek employment.
“More like growing out,” Parker teased with a pun that felt a bit late to the punch. Piper ignored her.
“Are ya nervous, sweetie?” Harper asked in a more nurturing tone while giving Piper a look over.
“Oh no, I love dolling myself up this early in the morning,” Replied Piper. Apparently, sarcasm runs in the family.
“Well, don’t worry. You’ll do great”. Harper gives Piper an around-the-shoulders hug just before wishing both her daughters a good day and off to work she goes.
With your mother’s kind words, Piper felt she was ready to tackle the day. When making her way to the door Piper’s path is unexpecting block by her couch potato of a sister. Parker, wearing the layabout’s uniform of old sweatpants and food stained tank top, pokes Piper’s chubby belly.
“You won't last a day--” Parker taunted than wobbles into the kitchen. “--your blubber gut will be back on that sofa by the end of the week,” she continued while looking through the cabinets for sweet treats.
Yeah right, whatever you say Hippo Ass.”
Parker takes one hand and slaps her cushioned backside, causing it along with the surrounding area to jiggle. “Jealous?”
Piper rolls her eyes and finally makes her way out the front door. Taking the bus, Piper starts a new chapter of her life. But to where?
