"Ookaaay? So that means that you didn't see the front at all?"

"No…is there something special out there?"

Venus watched as the crowd drew closer. "Yeah, plenty of business and plenty fast! Get ready, Jane."

Blaine groaned.

"Yes. The line… The long line that we were just talking about…" she droned.

"Maybe Jane could do Water and I could be the creepy guy…"

"Ender! We don't need another creepy guy, we need a water person," Blaine exclaimed, running a hand down her face. "Would you just go do your job, already?"

Venus snickered.

Ender rolled his eyes. "You're always so touchy when you're stressed…"

"I'm not—" Blaine started to exclaim, but she took a breath and let it out. "Just do your job, would you?"

"Fine! But tomorrow, I get to shout at people…"

"Just show up on time, and we wouldn't be having the conversation right now," Venus poked Ender's arm playfully.

Blaine rolled her eyes in exasperation.

"Exactly, if you actually get here on time, sure! Be my guest." She waved her hand in annoyance. "But for today, water."

"WELL YOU WEREN'T THE ONE WHO HAD TO SNEAK OUT THE WINDOW AND GET STUCK IN TRAFFIC FOR THIRTY MINUTES, BLAINE!" He threw his hands up.

Blaine's nostrils flared, and she closed her eyes for a moment. She took a few deep breaths and opened her eyes, which flashed with the anger she was trying to keep in check.

She gestured to the water, and, in an oddly calm voice, said, "Please go do the water, Ender."

She turned to face the others, a calm expression forced onto her face.

"Does anybody else want to try my patience?" she asked, her voice still calmer than she really was.

He glared at her. "Okay, Blaine…" He walked over to the counter and crossed his arms.

Venus followed him over and, smiling shyishly, picked up two water bottles.

Ender eyed her suspiciously. "What are you doing? You better not spill those and blame it on me. Blaine would have my head!"

"Why am I running this thing?" Blaine muttered under her breath before pasting on a fake smile and walking to the front to open. "Gonna open, now!" she shouted to the other teens.

Throwing the doors wide open, she greeted the customers in a falsely-cheery voice, "Hello-hello-hello! Welcome to the haunted house! We are now officially open, so come on in and get your tickets!"

"I'm not!" Venus replied sharply, blushing and looking away. "I was going to help. But if it's not ok…" she trailed off and began to walk towards the crowd coming in.

"NO! Its okay…you can help if you want…."

Venus took in a deep breath and turned around. "Ok," she said, picking up two water bottles again.

Ender leaned on the counter. "Why do we even sell water?" He huffed. "Do they need to lubricate their voices for optimal screaming or something?"

"Something like that," Venus replied, hiding her smile with a piece of her hair.
