Annnnnd were back! But to be honest considering our track record it probably won't be for long-
Anyways I hope you enjoy!

Scar sighed as he sat at his boring, regular job. It was just sitting at a computer and pressing buttons, but Scar enjoyed his job. He never goofed off, he never took short cuts. He was the perfect model employee.

Though when his boss called him up he knew it wasn't good.

"You must be wondering why you're here, Scar?" His boss asked with a sigh, motioning for him to sit. "You're fired."

"What? Why?" Scar asked, eyes wide with confusion. He didn't do anything wrong, did he?

"The truth is, Scar, you're too good. Your individual and well preforming work ethic is discouraging your peers. You continually hand in assignment after assignment and it's raised the bar too high. If you weren't so stuck in your work I'm sure you would've noticed. So as you leave this building today, try to be empathetic and pay a little more attention to their faces."

"But- Mr. Xisuma-"

"No buts Scar. I'm sorry, but I'll have to cut you loose. Please don't forget anything on your way out." Xisuma looked away. He didn't want to do this, but it was for the best. Many people were rushing their work to try to keep up with Scar and that's led to mistakes in paperwork and their has been three people who have passed out from exhaustion from pulling all-nighters.

Scar nodded sadly and walked out of the office, packed up his stuff and went home. He sighed heavily and threw his stuff in his office, sitting on the couch and thinking what he could do.

Maybe he could get another office job? But would they fire him like Mr. Xisuma did? What if he got back at Mr. Xisuma and make him regret firing him?

Later..

Scar slipped outside, sipping coffee and walking around the garden outside the office sadly. It was a beautiful day, the grass was green, the trees swayed gently, the birds chirping songs with the bees buzzing. It sounded like a symphony of nature. It was gorgeous.

"Master Scar?" Scar heard someone behind him. Scar turned to see one of his many butlers behind him. Bdubs was his name. Scar knew every single person who worked for him and often hung out with them.

"Yes?" Scar asked patiently with a kind smile on his face.

"You know you shouldn't be out here alone. Many would die to have the amount of money you have." It was true. Scar was loaded, he had billions of dollars that he could just throw away.

"I just needed some fresh air, I was just fired from my job." Scar huffed crossing his arms.

"You were fired? What for?" Bdubs knew he didnt need the money, infact, Scar was only working because he didn't want to seem like he was flaunting his money.

"I worked too hard, apparently. It stressed the other people out."

Bdubs frowned, letting out a confused chuckle. "Really?" He asked incredulously, to which Scar smiled faintly at.

"Yeah... I do feel bad for everyone that works there. If I could give them some cash, especially the ones that struggle the most, I would. But obviously... too suspicious." Scar mused on ideas, letting them stir in his brain.
