Chapter 23: A New Life

            The next day, the two decided to Job Hunt so income can still come in. Then a week later it was the interview. It was hard because most of the employers know about the Club Penguin incident and wouldn’t take them in. At the same time, Alicia is still being upset about her situation and Chris being confused with his weird visions of the real Gary’s past. But unfortunately, no one wants to employ them. A month has passed and they went back to the café and took a break. Chris turned on his laptop and used the free internet to find opening careers as Alicia uses her phone. Chris has been borrowing money from his parents to help him still pay the bills. Apparently, his parents wanted him to move out real badly ever since College. During the whole month they had, the two started to get to know each other and spend some time together. But they still remained as ‘colleagues’. Chris discovered that Alicia is 24 years old and her birthday is on June 10.

            “This blows!” said Alicia. “Just because of what happened in New Horizons doesn’t mean it will happen again with us!”

            “Calm down” said Chris. “Even I’m having a hard time”.

            Suddenly, they both received emails from New Horizon. It turns out that it became an architecture office and they saw their profiles that they want to hire them. They both drove New Horizons and found new people working there. They both met the employer and they nailed the interview. They start work a week later. They returned to the apartment and was glad that they finally have a job again.

            “I’m soo happy! Thanks Chris” said Alicia.

            She hugged him and he smiled.

            “No problem” said Chris. “I guess you’ll be moving back to your parents since of course you have a new job”.

            “Yeah…” said Alicia. “That was the deal. Have a much more menial occupation and I can move back to my parents”.

            “Should I, help you pack?” asked Chris.

            “You know, maybe I should stay” said Alicia. “Help you pay the bills and stuff. Besides, work is near, no need to bug my old folks. Be independent”.

            “Are you sure?” asked Chris.

            “Is there a problem me being a roomie?” asked Alicia with a death stare.

            “No mam!” he said.

            “Ok, so I can stay here then” said Alicia.

            “Sure thing!” said Chris. “But I have certain rules in living here”.

            “I already know them, I’ve stayed here for a month remember” said Alicia.

            Alicia went to her room and told her parents the good news as Chris sits on his couch and watch tv. Then he got another vision. This time, it was G’s voice. It sounded like his.

            “Hey, is that Aunt Artic?” asked Gary.

            “Who?” asked Chris.

            “Green Penguin, pink beanie” said Gary.

            “The penguin?” asked Chris.

            “Yeah! Don’t you know who you are?” asked Gary. “We need to find the Ducktor!”

            “I know what you want!” said Chris.
