"Willy's Wonderland": Janitor X Beth Love Story

Chapter 8: The Night Shift Begins

Janitor and Beth put on the "Willy's Wonderland" t-shirts and they both starts their work to clean up the restaurant for the night shift as Janitor presses a button from his watch that it beeps to keep on track of the time. Janitor cleans the jukebox while Beth dusts the posters with the lights, then they both sweeps the floors and Beth cleans the claw machine that has the plush toys in it until she takes one out and puts it in her purse to give it to Harley as a birthday present. Janitor and Beth takes the chairs off to clean the tables, that are in front of the eight animatronics on the stage, but what they didn't know is that the all of the animatronics moved a little bit as they watch. Janitor and Beth heard a squeak noise and turns to see the animatronics, but nothing happened and continues cleaning. Once they are finished the tables, Janitor and Beth went into the kitchen that it was a big mess, Janitor went to the fridge to put his Punch Pop soda cans in there while Beth washes the dishes until Janitor's watch beeps, that it was break time. Janitor gets a soda can from the fridge and drinks it as Beth gets the plush toy from her purse that she got earlier, Janitor looks over and slowly walks up to Beth to wonder why she has the toy until Beth sees him.

"Sorry, I got one of the plush toys from the claw machine when I was cleaning it. Today is my son Harley's birthday and I want to give him a plush toy as a present, but I also want to give him a new phone for himself. Same thing to my oldest son Austin too." Beth explained to Janitor.

Janitor didn't say anything, but he understands.

"We have moved into Hayesville for about a year ago. Harley's birthday from last year was okay but it became a tragic. He was a huge fan of "The Banana Splits" and we brought the tickets to go see it live from the Taft Studios until the Splits have attacked and killed a lot of people except the children, but I did took them out except Snorky, because he was helping us to beat Bingo until he died. Snorky was my son Harley's favorite and will always be. I used to be married to Mitch, my previous husband, which we have been married for a while until I found out that he cheated on me with his assistant from his work. After the tragic, Mitch wants me back but I reject him and left him once I took Harley and Austin with me. Ever since then, my sons always wanted a new Dad to be a family again." Beth explained as she tells the story from the past.

Beth begins to cry softly and Janitor patted and rubbed her back to comfort her like he feels bad for her and her past.

"Thanks. I'm glad that you understand." Beth said.

Janitor and Beth smiled to each other and looks over to see something under the covers from the corner of the kitchen. Janitor takes off the covers and it was a old pinball game machine of "Willy's Wonderland" theme, he blows at it to get the dust off and he pressed the buttons, the game was off.

"Have you ever played arcade games before?" Beth asked.

Janitor nodded his head 'yes' in response. Janitor's watch beeps to remind them that their break is over. Janitor crushed the can when he finished it and throws it into the trash, now back to work for the both of them.
