Alex was on the couch, sleeping the noon away as usual, dreaming about being famous! She worked at Freddy's since she was a teenager, but she swore that one day, she would be walking the red carpet! The flashing camera lights pointing at her! And the night shifts she worked at were terrifying! Always having haunted animatronics chase you down and try to kill you can do a work on you! But it was normal for her at this point. She wanted to be an actress swarmed by paparazzi, asking her questions. She would answer "Ms.Rosario, what is your opinion on your upcoming movie?" "Miss Alex, what is your opinion on the hit series you starred in?" and more questions flowing. "I like them All! I think that it is all amazing!" she yelled aloud. The crowd that was chanting her name turned into a familiar voice;

"Alex... Alex... ALEX!"

She jumped off the couch faster than a hare, hitting the floor. She groggily rubbed her emerald green eyes, and moved some of the curly candy red colored strands away from her eyes, to see Lord X, someone who she, oddly got along with... Or at the very least tried to get along with. "Oh... Hey X." she muttered mostly mumbling in drowsiness. Her eyes sunken a bit into the bags tiredly, as she tried to hear their demonic hedgehog roommate speak, "Listen, Al, I gots a favor to ask youse. Can ya do it?". Alex's eyes looked baffled, a favor? Well what could X possibly want? "Uh... Sure, I guess? Er- what do ya need?" Alex questioned assuringly. X handed her a paper, which was folded, seeming to have some sorta text on it. Alex blinked, "Well what's all this about?" they pondered precautiously, "Ya have to do errands
while I go to a job interview." X stated out. "Can ya's do that for me?"

Alex was baffled, her eyes wide like saucers, seemingly surprised by the spoken statement spoken by X, "I-I'm sorry I'm sorry- But ya what?" Alex questioned accordingly. X sighed, "Listen, I need you, to go do the errands on the list while i go to a job interview... Alright?" As Alex's thoughts danced through her head, she knew that this was a rare occurrence. She thought that her brain had scattered, "You're joking right? Hehe-" "Nope! I'm gettin' myself a job!" X spurted seriously, his eyes beaming confidently. Alex's look went from baffled to a light giggle. Her laughter bounced around the room like a little kid in a bounce house, "Eh? What's so funny, Al?" X puzzled, wondering why the once calm, candy apple haired woman suddenly bursted out chortling and chuckling.

Alex bursted out laughing, "No way! Your ass decided to do something other than scare some poor chumps! Oh this is golden!" "SHUT THE HELL UP! Anyway, yes I did decide to get a job, because I did have to do something other than scaring people. I do have a life, too, y'know?" X spoke annoyed, his quills frilling upwards as he hissed lightly, "Whatever...". Alex crossed her arms, "Well I suppose ya better get goin', mate. I don't want ya to be late, now!"

"Yeah... Bye Al! Don't forget those errands!" "Haha, yeah, see ya!" Alex chuckled. She unfolded the paper that she with-held. As she seemingly skimmed the entirety of the scribbled scriptures, about which were scrawned over the particularly intriguing piece of parchment she pawed over. She had to read over the thing to asses the assignments. The errands were;

Groceries, Pick up dryclean, Get a gift for sunky, fill car with gas, deliver Majin the package he ordered, water plants, take out the trash, return the book 'Devil's Advocate', do dishes, buy a new vase for the flower

Alex sighed, "Well, some of these sound more like chores but eh, who am I to know? I haven't done errands in a while!". As Alex walked to head out, she realized that she was still in her night guard uniform, "Damn it... gotta change." she realized. She changed into a pair of jeans, a coat, a Thankful Zombified shirt, and a scarf. "Gotta be ready, it's chilly out today," Alex told herself. She headed out to get gas for the car. "I won't let ya down, X!" She promised, and drove off...
