This should prevent you from getting an infection...

"Patton...Patton wakes up..."

I felt myself waking up, but I wasn't ready. I wanted to know the face behind that voice, I wanted to hear what the voice was going to say next.

"PATTON WAKE UP!"

Virgil's voice boomed sending me jolting forward in my bed. I felt the sweat dripping down my face, my hair drenched.

"Jee Patton, I meant to scare you but not that bad"

"Oh kiddo, it's not you that made me sweat. What time is it?"

"4:36, I made you some tea and toast with jam with the last of the crofters"

I nodded, tried to come to my senses and forced a smile "Thanks kiddo"

I walked over to the box with my uniform in it, closed the door, and placed it on my bed. I quickly changed out of my cat onesie and cut open the box. My uniform was wrapped in white tissue and had a card on it.

Patton Moral

Welcome to your first day of the job.
I presume that the uniform fits adequately, Notify me if otherwise.

I ripped off the white tissue wrapping the uniform and pulled out the shirt. It was a black long sleeve button up shirt and had silver buttons on the cuffs. Next to the shirt was a crisp dark blue tie...but....no pants? No. What I pulled out next was a black knee length skirt, knee high socks and black loafers.

"Oh. Jee. Um..." I said aloud.

I at that moment was tempted to wear just a pair of blue jeans with the rest of the uniform but I couldn't risk losing the job. I had to wear the uniform or id be turned around immediately. I sighed and changed out of my pajamas and slipped on the skirt. I felt humiliated and exposed, despite their being shorts built into the skirt. I put on the socks, buttoned up my shirt and quickly slid on the black loafers. I knew that I would have to have Virgil do the tie since I didn't know how to do it up myself. I took a deep breath and opened the door. 

"H-Hey Virgil kiddo...um..can you help me out real quick?" 

Virgil was in the kitchen filling a thermos with what I can only assume was chamomile tea and in the other hand held a piece of toast covered in jelly 

"Hey, dad here's you-" 

Virgil's face went a scarlet red as he scanned my body, then stared intently at the skirt. One hand was clutching the thermos so firmly that his knuckles went white and the other hand holding my now crushed toast leaving crumbs and strawberry jelly falling out of his hand onto the creamy white tile floor of our kitchen. He made what I can only describe as an emo screeching noise that sounded like something between a growling cat and teapot whistle. I looked down, feeling really embarrassed I anxiously pulled down the edge of my knife pleat skirt. 

"I- uh I-I just need help with the- the tie" I felt my face heat, meaning I was probably blushing.

"Why in the name of hell are you wearing a skirt and knee-high stockings?!" 

"Well uh...I just...this is the uniform. I think that I..may have got sent the wrong one."

Virgil looked like he was about to explode, he slammed down the thermos. Wiped the jelly and crumbs off his hands and walked out of the kitchen.

"No! No, nope nope nope nope. You are not walking out the house looking like that! You should change into pants" 

"Kiddo please, I cant. I have really no time to change and even if I did I would be turned away from the job for not wearing the uniform. Please just do up my tie so I'm not late."
