Working Part-Time (open)

Sheng bowed as well. "I must go as well.But remember, free tea for five months." She rushed out to her first day in her new home. "Aimi, are you sure you're okay?" Sheng asked, while bowing to the uncle.

"I'm fine" said Aimi in a cheerful mood, "Remeber we have to work for an hour and then we get to go home to my apartment." She slowed down and waited for Sheng to walk to the desk.
Aimi grabbed her name tag and Sheng's and handed it to her and put hers on. She walked behind the cash register and waited for people to start coming in."Will you start making things look nice like the antiques look all frontwards and the corn in one pile and stuff" Aimi asked Sheng.

Sheng nodded. "Of course!" Sheng got to work quickly, but stopped at a vase. It was red studded with rubies, with orange flames painted on. It was beautiful. Sheng wanted it, but it was the customer's, not hers-she smiled and kept walking. "What kind of a store is this,Aimi?"

Hana continues her act smiling towards Sheng as he approached her "No problem, I just did what I could" She said in a warm manner. When Aimi came back she didn't have the time to even reply to them before they were both gone, and soon, she left the tea shop aswell. And as she had walked a bit away from the shop, a satisfied grin appeared on her face.

"I'm not sure Sheng, It's an everything store i guess," Aimi said in a cheerful voice.
She got up and went to the bathroom, she came back with a cotton washcloth walked over to the vase Sheng was looking at and started polishing it. When she was finished she said, "Do you want this Sheng? I saw you looking at it and we have about two dozen more in the back."
She stared at Sheng waiting for a reply.

"Two dozen!! That's a lot!" Sheng said, eyes wide. "But yeah, I'd like it. It looks like one we had back in the Fire Nation." Sheng covered her mouth and bowed. It was the first time she let slip that she wasn't from the Earth Kingdom, and she knew of the prejudiced that followed. "I'm sorry."

Aimi walked over and picked up the old vase and handed it to Sheng. She smiled and looked at her. Ten went to the back and brought back one more of the same vase and said, "Oh...It's fine!" Someone came in and started looking around. "Go introduce yourself and say "welcome" and tell her you are new and ask if she needs any help!" Aimi whispered to Sheng then motioned to go.

"Okay," Sheng whispered, helping the customer around. As she left, Sheng asked, "Is the shift almost over?" she then asked Aimi. Sheng was getting sleepy as the sun set.

Aimi nodded and smiled "we are just about to close up!" She said excitedly
"Then we get to go home! i can't wait! I cleared a whole roo out for you and i moved a couch and a dresser in for you already!"

Sheng smiled. "I don't need a dresser, but a washtub would be nice." Sheng put her name tag back and waited for Aimi to do the same. Sheng took the pot under her arm, then smiled to herself. "Ba Sing Se ain't so bad."
