The Past

Chapter 20

It's been a long while, but I'm back and I can't believe I made it to the 20th chapter of my story. So let's continue.
_____________________________________
It's been a while since Misako visited Wu and Montgomery. She miss them both very much. It took half a year to rebuild all the homes in the village. Most of the neighbors pitched in and helped out with renovating the inside of their homes. Soon they were all back in their homes. Misako and her mother were back in their home and everything looked brand new.

One day Misako left for work and this would be considered the worst day for her. When Misako stepped into the store. She put on her apron and went behind the counter. In a short while her boss called her to the back to talk with her. She entered the room to see her co-worker Chris sitting in front of the desk. Misako took a seat next to him and listened to what her boss had to say.

Mr. Jones: I called you both in here to tell you, there will be changes going around here, and unfortunately those changes will become permanent.

Misako and Chris looked at each other then back at their boss.

Mr Jones: I'm sorry to tell you both this, but the store will be shut down

Misako and Chris: What??? Why???

Mr.Jones: You see before the storm occurred I came here to make sure things were well before the storm. Since the storm was approaching fast I guess I was a little too quick and forgot to take the important documents from under the desk.

Misako and Chris continued to listen to their boss about the future of the store.

Mr.Jones: After the storm I came back to check on the store. The store itself was ok, but the inside was flooded. When I was able to get to the back I just remembered the documents of the store, and unfortunately they all got damaged.

Chris: Why are those Documents so important?

Mr.Jones: They were important, because those documents would've been able to help save the store. Without those documents we can't really do anything to save this place. But anyway, I'm sorry you two. The store will be closing down in a week.

After hearing their bosses problem, there was nothing they could do to help the store. Misako and Chris were then excused from their bosses office and continued working on for the day.

Timeskip: A fresh start on Monday

The Store needed to be cleared out by Friday Morning, but the store was filled with groceries and stuff, so Misako and Chris made a 'Everything Must Go' sign. Since the Store has been doing business for years, everyone in the neighborhood went out and bought what they can from the store.

On Wednesday, Misako and Chris started to pack up left over groceries that people didn't buy into boxes. By the end of the day the shelves were cleared.

On Thursday, Misako and Chris started to clean the dust off the shelves, paint up the wall, and cleaned the floors.

On Friday, two trucks came. One to pick up all the shelves and One to pick up the left over groceries. After that was done Mr. Jones gave Misako and Chris their final paychecks and wished them both luck.

Timeskip: 6:00 p.m

Misako was sitting at the table with her mother, Robin (I might as well give her a name) drinking tea, while Misako had a newspaper and a marker circling jobs that were available to hire.

Robin: What are you gonna do Misako......you're out of a job.

Misako: Mom.........I'm trying my best to find one.....please give me time.

Robin: Ok

Robin finally got up and went in the living room and watched TV. From all the searching Misako decided to take a break. She got her jean jacket from the coat hanger near the front door and yelled out to her mom.

Misako: Mom.........I'm going for a walk.

Robin: Ok..........be back before 9:00

Misako: K

Misako decided to take a walk to ease her mind of things. She started to love her new neighborhood and how all the houses inside and out were designed differently. From a distance in the sky she could see a light from above the clouds. She knew it was the monastery. Since she haven't seen Montgomery and Wu in a long while, she thought why not pay them a little visit. Without hesitation she started to run to the Mountain of Impossible Heights.
