Lacy pulled up the hood to her black jacket and walked up to house that sat in the middle of the park. The summer heat was almost too hot for her and only made this job worse. Lacy bite her lip and stared at the door, not really sure how to do this, she wasn't really use to working, let alone applying for a job. She took a deep breath and knocked firmly on the door three times. She stepped back and waited patiently for an answer. The door opened and a blue jay two times taller than her answered the door. He looked at her in shock, she wasn't surprised though, and she knew she must have looked homeless. Her long blonde hair was tangled and matted; she wore a baggy black jacket and a slightly torn skirt. Her shoes were filthy and she was sure she had heavy bags under her eyes, not the way a twenty year old girl should look. She finally spoke up between the two of them and said,
"I'm here to apply for the job position?" The blue jay shook his head then said, "Um yeah…Just go up the stairs and enter the first door on the right…" He stepped back and she entered the house. "Hey man who's the homeless chick?" Said a raccoon sitting on the couch with a game controller in his hand. The blue jay punched him in the arm and mumbled, "Shut up Rigby," Then gave her an apologetic smile, which she returned then, went up the stairs and stopped at the first door. She suddenly felt very sick, why in the world would they hire her? She looked terrible and probably could be knock down by gush of wind. Her legs shook as she was about to turn away, but then the door suddenly swung open revealing a living gumball machine,
"Mordecai who was at the," He cut off when he saw the shaking girl in front of him; he blinked a couple of times, and then asked, "Are you Lacy..?" Lacy nodded weakly and said, "Yes sir..." He motioned her inside and she walked in and sat on the wooden chair in front of his desk. He sat down at the desk and asked, "So Lacy, tell me a little about yourself." This was the part Lacy dreaded, she knew she couldn't tell him the truth about her, but luckily she came up with a convincing lie on the way here.
"Well, I grew up in New York, my older brother raised me and I graduated from an all-girls private school." The gumball machine nodded, "And why do you want to work here?" Lacy lowered her head a little, at least this part was kind of true, "Well sir, my brother just died recently, and we didn't have a lot of money to begin with. And now with the funeral bills and stuff, I don't have money to afford a place to live. My brother was the one with a job…" She saw sympathy on the machine's face, "I'm sorry for your loss Lacy, you have the job and you can live here until you can afford an apartment." Lacy smiled a little, "Thank you sir, this means a lot," He nodded, "There's a guest room next to two other employees who live here. I'll have them clean it out and you can start tomorrow." With that he stood up and opened the door for her. She followed him downstairs,
"Mordecai, Rigby come here!" He yelled at the blue jay and raccoon sitting on the couch. The raccoon groaned, "Come on Benson! We're finally on level three!" The blue jay smirked, "If you weren't so bad at video games we would've been on three months ago." "Stop talking!" Benson yelled again, "Come here right down or you're fired!" They groaned and got up, "What do you want?" Lacy pretty much guessed the raccoon, Rigby, was pretty much a whiner. Mordecai seemed a little easier going even though he complained.
"I need you two to clean out the guest room for Lacy. She's going to be staying here until she gets an apartment." Rigby groaned again, "Is homeless girl at least going to be working to keep her share of the house?" Once again Mordecai punched him "Shut up Rigby," Then he turned to Lacy, "Sorry about him..." Lacy shrugged, "I get called that a lot, don't worry about it." Mordecai started climbing the stairs, "Come on Rigby, the sooner we get this done the sooner we can get back to level three." Rigby grumbled something but followed him anyway. Lacy mentally sighed; this was going to be a long day.

"You know who else likes hot days?" Muscleman said with a smile. High five ghost didn't bother to ask since he knew what was coming, "MY MOM!" And on cue Fives high fived him, just going along with his best friend on it. It was the same thing every day for Fives, but he didn't mind that much, although sometimes he wished for a slight change in his life. And apparently his wish had been granted for Muscleman asked, "Hey, what's with the homeless girl on the steps?" And sure enough when Fives looked he saw a girl sitting on the steps talking to Mordecai, who as usual was slacking off. He didn't know what is was but there was something about this girl that Fives was attracted to. She had the 'homeless' look but besides that she was really pretty. If her hair was combed out and she wasn't wearing the dirty clothes she could probably past for a model.
"Hey loser, who's the chick?" Mordecai rolled his eyes at Muscleman then said, "This is Lacy, she's the new employee." Lacy did a small wave and pulled off her hood, revealing more of her matted hair. "Hi…" She said softly. High Five Ghost smiled, "Hi Lacy, call me Fives." She smiled back shyly. Muscleman smiled again, "You know who else is the new employee?" Mordecai groaned, knowing what was coming, "MY MOM!" Again on cue High Five high fived him, and to his and Mordecai surprise, Lacy laughed. And to Fives, it sounded like a music box.
"Mordecai why aren't you cleaning out Lacy's room like I told you?" A red face Benson yelled out window. "Rigby had to use the bathroom!" Mordecai yelled back. This struck Fives in a good way, "You're going to live here Lacy?" She nodded, "Only for a little while though." Disappointment filled High Five's heart, but he asked, "Have you meet anybody else?" Lacy shook her head no. Five's grabbed her hand and pulled her up, "Well you should, and you'll love them." He floated away with her beside her and Muscleman yelled, "Hey wait up guys!" He ran after them, deciding that Lacy was kind of cool.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Skips could tell she was bad news, he felt it when he looked at her. Lacy…his brain racked to try to remember that name from somewhere. He gave up eventually and looked at the girl standing three feet in front of him with High Five Ghost and Muscleman, she didn't seem like a threat now but there was something about her he didn't like. He decided to be nice but keep a close eye on her. The yeti would figure her out eventually…
