“You work at a daycare?” Barbie questioned to you as you nod your head.
“Yeah, it’s a simple job, that I don’t mind that much.” You say looking to the fence line. The day care that you work at is separated into many sections. The visitor area, which people come and drop their kids off. The back which is the place for the work. For the kids it’s separated into three areas. The Caterpillar, which is for kids from 6 Months to 12. Just babies honestly. The Cocoon which is for kids in between 1 Year and 3 and the Butterfly, which is for kids over 3 to 4. Any older then that and they go to kindergarten.
“Okay, ready to go!” You say with a smile as she had to pause. You notice her not moving at all, just staying there. “You okay?”
“I uh... i’m not really sure I want to. Even I know how dangerous these little kids are.”
“Yeah, i’ve watched Toy Story 3. Never really thought that I would be put into the situation. Don’t worry though. As long as we stay in the main area, we should be fine.”
“Really, okay then let’s do this!” She said walking forward, as you of course follow her. The both of you start moving forward and through the fence. This was to keep kids out, for you though and Barbie though, you two easily passed under, and it was just a quick trip through grass through the Caterpillar section to go inside.
“So which kids do you work with?”
“All three.” You say back to her as she smiles.
“So you are good with kids? That’s great, i’m pretty good with kids myself. Little girls mostly.” You smile back to her as that was something you two could bond over. You two move into the building and you got to admit, it was unique seeing it so big. Shelves that you could reach before seemed out of measure, and even the chairs were massive. Thankfully most of the kids were sleeping at the moment, so you didn’t have to bother. You did see a coworker rocking on a chair with a baby in her arms. Putting the little thing to sleep.
“Who’s she?” Barbie questioned to you.
“Oh, just uh... a co worker.” You say to her as she got interested. She was all about the gossip.
“Oh.. just a coworker, or maybe a little bit more?”
“She is not I mean... not yet.” You say to her as she gets interested. Seeing that Barbie was not going to end this, you explained. “Her name is Victoria, Tori for short. She’s great with kids, and she’s been working here even longer then me.”
“You two look the same age.”
“We are, she’s fantastic with kids, and she interned here when she was a teenager, been working ever since. She even babysat kids back then as well.” You say to her as she smiles.
“She seems like a kind girl.” She said gripping your arm and make you turn back to her. “Are you a couple?”
“No, I mean... we got pretty different views at the moment. It wouldn’t work.” You say to her. “Come on, I wanna see th-”
“No, you got to tell me!” She said prying in.
“Well, we went on a couple of dates, it was pretty nice and all but we just want different things. So we both agreed to split it off.”
“Did you ever get to girlfriend stage?” She questioned.
“No, Barbie why do you care?”
“Cause I care about you! What was it enough for you two to split up?” She questioned, as you paused for a couple of seconds. Thinking about it about what you were doing.
“Well, she wanted kids, and get married and everything. I wasn’t ready for that. It’s pretty simple.” You say to her as Barbie didn’t really know how to respond to that. She can’t really get mad at you, it was a perfectly legitimate reason.
“Well that sucks. Maybe you can... you know compromise?” She said as you laughed.
“You really want me to get with her don’t you?” You say to Barbie. “Being a little match maker are you?”
“Hey, I just think you two are cute together, and a girl like that. Seems like a catch.” She said as you sigh.
“C-Can we just move along.” You say to her as she smiled back to you.
“Sure, we can.” And with that, the both of you got going and explored the rest of the place. Mostly the main area, as you two talk and explore. The one behind the desk wasn’t paying attention to the floor hence she didn’t see you two scurrying around. You two were actually having a good time.
There was a problem once though, as you two saw a mother and her child come into the place. The child was three, and the mother looked about nineteen if you were going to be honest. Not surprised, this isn’t the first teenage pregnancy case that you saw coming in. Regardless you two go over and hide, making sure neither would find you. You two just wait as she drops off the child.
“So... you wanna check out the back?” You question Barbie as she watched the little girl get escorted to the Butterfly room.
“D-Do you think we can go to one of the kids?” Barbie questioned as you almost fell over when you heard that.
“A-Are you serious?” You say to her. “Barbie, i’m only okay here cause I know which parts to avoid. Cause I know if we go over there, we are gonna get roughed up. Trust me, that is not a good idea.” You say to her as she pauses, and suddenly. “W-Woah!”
You get lifted off of your feet, the girl twice your height holding you bride style in her arms.
“Well, i’m the big one. I make the choice. You and I are _____________” She exclaimed.
