An Epic Goofy Movie

An Unexpected Night

Roxanne closed the filing cabinet shut, exhausted for the day. Her brain was tired of looking at countless graphs and patient reports. She placed her white binder on the table next to her, shut off the computer and turned to leave.

She heard the rustling of keys coming from outside the door, which made her stop in her tracks. It was late. No one was supposed to be on this floor. She was ordered to shut down the labs.

The door opened and in walked a girl, with pink and blue hair covering her eyes. She looked up, startled.

"I'm so sorry," she said. Roxanne noticed the English accent on her. "I thought no one was here."

"I was about to leave." Roxanne replied, examining the girl closely. She was sure that she had seen her somewhere.

"I'm Cora, I intern here." The girl said, dropping a large file on the nearby table. "I don't want you to think I'm just some straggler."

Roxanne gasped. It was the girl on the skateboard.

The one from earlier.

"I saw you." Roxanne said. "You were outside the Science Building."

Cora looked down, blushing. She pushed her bang away and looked up at Roxanne. "Haha, you saw that? It's an act that my brother makes us do."

"Your brother?"

"The leader, Mikolaj." Cora said.

"Oh, well that was impressive. You had my friend Bradley stunned." Roxanne said, remembering how both Max and Bradley had looked.

"Bradley? Bradley Uppercrust the Third?" Cora asked. "What did he think?"

"Yeah, him. He didn't say anything, but I could tell." Roxanne looked at the clock. It was getting late. She had to meet Stacey for dinner, Bobby was coming over.

She swung her bag over her shoulder and walked towards the door. "I have to go, Cora. But it was so nice meeting you. I'm glad we both intern here. I'll see you around?"

Cora nodded. "For sure. I could use someone to talk to besides my teammates. God knows they can be bloody boring."

Roxanne laughed and waved, closing the door behind her.

Roxanne walked up towards her house, having decided to take the bus. Stacey had needed the car to buy groceries. She looked to her right, spotting Max's house. He would be alone today, since Bobby was going to be at their place.

She stopped, looking down at her white flats, thinking.

Maybe I should invite him over... it's just dinner anyways.

No, it's not my place. He has a girlfriend.

Ugh, Roxanne are you implying that you see him other than just a friend?

She shook her head, frustrated at herself. She sighed and crossed the street, clutching to her bag tightly. She looked at her watch. Half past eight.
