Meant To Be ( Chandler Riggs Fan Fiction)

Chapter 21. Zoo guide.

Ariana's POV
RECAP

"Ari you need to..... Get a job since you won't be in the show anymore." Dad said and I nodded.

" Where tho?" I asked and he smirked.

*****

Well his friend Jim owns a nearby zoo and gave me a job. I went there all weekend and learned the animals names, all about them and whatnot. I'm going to be a guide, have a small group of people, and show them around. Mostly like summer school field trips.

My uniform is just a tan elbow cut button up shirt, dark shorts, and some sandals. After I changed I kept my hair down and wavy, and put on a hat. Today is really hot!

I'm really bummed out about the walking dead and all, but the zoo pays good! And I only have to work on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday afternoons.

After I got ready and grabbed my phone and went downstairs.

" Dad! I need to go!" I yelled and he appeared in the kitchen. He grabbed his keys and drove me to the zoo.

When we got there we said out goodbyes and I went to check in.

" Hey Ariana!" Izzy said. She's one of my co-workers. She had long brown hair and big green eyes. She's really nice.

" Sup Iz!" I said and grabbed my name tag and flag. All the ground guides have to carry around a different colored flag so their group can keep up with them. I have the blue flag.

" Can't talk! My groups waiting for me. Your is over there. You have a summer camp." She informed me and ran. I ran up to my group and smiled.

" Hi! My names Ariana and I will be your guide today. We will be walking around the north half of the zoo, stopping for a few breaks, than going to all the other spots." I said and looked at all the faces. " Any questions?"

" Aren't you the girl from the walking dead?" The teacher asked me and I smiled.

" Yes! so how about we get this tour going." I said and turned in my heel. We started walking towards the reptile house. As we walked In I can hear some girls squeal cause they don't like snakes and slimy animals.

"This is Andy. He is the biggest snake in this zoo. " I said and watched as people took pictures.

As we finished the reptile house, we started to walk towards the petting zoo.

" If you want to feed the animals, the food is over there. Please do not pick up the animals" I said and sat down on a chair as everyone walked around. I got out my phone and Chandler texted me.

Chan: hey baby!

Me: hey what's up?

Chan: nothing much.. How's work?

Me: good. I'm taking a little break rn.

Chan: cool. Phew I got to go. I love you

Me: I love you too

I out my phone back in my pocket as a girl walked up to me.

" Are you and Chandler dating again?" She asked with a bit of sass in her tone. I stood up, making myself a little bit taller than her and nodded.

" Yes. And his is your business cause..."

" just stay away from him.! He doesn't love you!" She said and walked back over to the group. I rolled my eyes as some one tapped my shoulder.

" Can I help you?" I asked and turned around. Chandler was standing there with a big smile on his face.

" Hey!" I said and hugged him. People started to look at us and take picture but I didn't mind. I didn't really get to see him that often cause I've been here and he's been on the set.

" Wha are you doing here.?" I asked and pulled away as he planted a small kiss on my lips.

" I to come and see you. I see you have a big group." He said and looked at all the girls staring At us.i nodded and saw is was time to move to the next habitat.

" Okay let's move on! Next is the panda bear!" I said and we walked out the door. Chandler walked beside me as we walked over a small bridge and came up to the pandas.

" The one on tome of the stand is Bo and the one on the ground is Chip! They have been here for a year and a half." I told the group and they nodded. I waited for a few minute so they can take pictures.

Next we went to the sea lions. As we sat and watched the show, the trainer asked for a volunteer. I raised my hand and she picked me.

" One of our own! Ariana why don't you come stand here." Jess said, pointing g to the spot next to her. Jess is the trainer for the animals. I walked over to her and she handed me a fish. She showed me what to do and it was time for me to try it. The oldest sea lion, Apreal ( pronounced p: App-real), came on the edge of the platform. I twirled the fish around and she jumped off, swam in a circle, jumped up in the air, and when she was done I threw her the fish. I went to the hand washing station and washed my hands.

" Thanks for coming everyone! Have a nice day." I said to the group that was now leaving. Phew, today had been a long, hot day.

Plater chandlers mom came and took me home. Chandler decided to stay the night with me but he has to sleep on my little couch in my room. When we got to my house we changed, talked, watched tv and than fell asleep.
