The following morning Sabrina arrives for her first day at work, she's is dress up rather professional in a skirt and matching outfit. She takes a deep breath then enters the building. She walks down the narrow hallway and follows all the cute post-its Groovy has left for her. Till she gets to one that says "Dear Sabrina, please buy more post-its.. we're out and well too bad for you you're only half way there." Sabrina slaps her forehead and groans. Then she looks again and reads," P.S. Look to your right.. I'm standing next to you" Sabrina doe so and sees Groovy next to her waving.

Sabrina: GAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!! [leaps back]

Groovy: OW!![holds her ears]

Sabrina: [sighs] I wish you gals would stop popping up like that.

Groovy: Sorry. Come on.. follow me.

The two girls walk down the hall. Sabrina looks around and notices all the doors in this place seem to look the same.

Groovy: Okay, let me show you a few things first: One, there are lots of people wandering the halls of this place.. don't be alarmed as none of them bite.. well except for Decadence. Two, stay away from Decadence PLEASE!!! You don't want her to corner you. Me and Funky will try our best to keep you safe from her and Miguel will try to keep her occupied, but try to stay away from her.

Sabrina: Um who is Dec..

Groovy:[interrupts] Oh you'll know her when you see her. [stops in from on a big door] if you need to make a pit stop that place is here.

Groovy opens the door and they both enter a huge bathroom. Rows and rows of stalls line each side of the bathroom and a huge fountain sits in the middle. Sabrina looks with great amazement.

Sabrina: WOW! What does the men's room look like?

Groovy: You're looking at it.. Miguel's the one guy here 24/7 so he uses this one too, don't worry he knocks before entering.

Sabrina: Geez, well I guess I won't have to worry about there being a line.

Groovy: Yeah, tell me about it. Okay that's about everything.[leads her out]

Sabrina: [follows] Um Groovy tell me something, what does Miguel have behind that door that's boarded up and sealed off?

Groovy: NOO!! [stops and takes her by the arm] Sabrina you have to promise NEVER to open that door, you understand. Lots of bad stuff is in there, we ALL leave it alone.. and so should you. Please Sabrina, promise you'll do what we say?

Sabrina: Okay… just seems kinda odd that's all.

Groovy: I know, but take our word for it, there's bad stuff in there.

They both finally reach Miguel's office. They enter and see Miguel at work at his desk while Funky shoots spit wads at him. Funky is about to spit another one when Groovy blows into the other end and shoots the spit wad down Funky's mouth.

Funky: GWAAAAAAAAAAAAH!![runs around in circles grabbing her throat]

Miguel:[looks up from his work] Come on gals.. it's too early for your crazy antics , and Sabrina is on her way here so you guys better..[sees Sabrina already there] geez why am I always the last to know. [straightens up] Morning Ms. Sabrina.

Sabrina: Morning.[waves at him]

Funky: [coughing] If I choke and die I'm going to sue you.

Groovy: [yanks one of Funky's pigtails] Hard to do when you're dead… even I know that.

Funky: [yanks Groovy's pigtail] I'll find a way!!

Miguel: Ladies please.. we have company.

Sabrina: No.. no need for exceptions on my part.. after all I'm part of the staff.

Funky:[looks Sabrina over] Yeah but what's with the outfit? You going to a funeral or something?

Sabrina: Um well..[plays with her hair nervously] I wanted to look professional.

Funky: Right.. like we look so business like. Well maybe me… miss fashion victim here on the other hand.[elbows Groovy]

Miguel: Well Ms. Sabrina.. it kinda business casual around here.

Funky: Yeah.. hence his get up.[tugs at Miguel's black Chinese shirt] The boss as a Duo Maxwell fixation.

Miguel: You should talk little miss ULALA!!![gets in her face]

Funky: Oh you did NOT just say that!!!![gets in HIS face]

Miguel: Well there's nothing wrong with Ms. Sabrina's outfit.. is there?

Funky:[brushes her bangs back] Well aside from the visible panty lines no.

Sabrina: [face turns scarlet] Um.. ex.. excuse me?

Groovy:[leans over and looks at Sabrina's bottom] It's okay Sabrina, you really have to look to see them.

Sabrina: [changing colors] Um..[puts her bag on her bottom]

Miguel: Okay that's enough.[he grabs both girls by the ears and drags them outside] It's her first day and I will not allow you to embarrass her on it.

Funky: OW! Yeah we usually wait a week for that huh boss?

Miguel: Out you pixies go!![throws them out and shuts the door] Um.. [walks to Sabrina sweating and scratching the back of his head]sorry about that Ms. Sabrina.

Sabrina: [face still a bit pink] It's it's okay. I guess I better go home and change.

Miguel: Nonsense, we can fix that right now. Oh Reiko!

The door opens and a human girl with reddish brown hair enters. She has her shoulder length hair tied back and a huge bow atop her hair. She is wearing a school girls uniform.

Reiko: Yes boss?

Miguel: Reiko.. be a dear and take Ms. Sabrina to wardrobe, please?

Reiko: Sure thing, follow me.

Sabrina: Okay.[follows her out]

Miguel: Have fun.[looks out the door and crosses his arms] Shame on the two of you.

Groovy:[pops up to his right] Sorry.

Funky: [pops up to his left] We didn't mean any harm. We'll.. we'll make it up to you. Come on Groovy.[drags Groovy off by the arm]

Miguel: Geez.[takes his glasses off and rubs his eyes] This won't end well I just know it.

Reiko leads Sabrina down the hall, Sabrina looks Reiko over many times. Reiko looks at her and Sabrina acts like she wasn't staring.

Reiko: Something wrong?

Sabrina: Um no.. just well.. um..[scratches her arm] Just well are you.. um.. you know?

Reiko: Oh… haven't seen a human before huh?

Sabrina; Not really. Are you real?

Reiko: As far as you know. [stops and smiles at Sabrina] Don't worry, I was the same way when I first saw Groovy and Funky. You get used to it.

Sabrina: Um sorry about staring.[looks down]

Reiko: S'okay. [smlies]

Sabrina: Oddly enough you seem to be the only normal one here?

Reiko:[sweating] Um.. yeah.. that's cause you don't know me too well.. you see I.[eyes open wide] OH NO!!!

Sabrina: What is it.. are you okay?

Reiko becomes VERY panic stricken, as does Sabrina, when she sees Reiko sprout ears and a tail Then she turns into a pile of clothes on the floor. From under the clothes a tiny little kitten emerges.

Funky:[pops up next to Sabrina] Not so normal now huh?

Sabrina:[ rather shocked] Wha.. wha happened to her?

Groovy: [picks up the kitten] Reiko has a curse on her.. she becomes a kitty every now and again.

Sabrina: Oh.. [sweating] common everyday occurrences around here I guess.

Both: You have NOOOOOOOOOOOOO idea.

Funky: Aw but enough of that..[takes Reiko from groovy and tosses her over her shoulder] let's get you styling. Groovy if you will?

Sabrina: Um you know gals, I really think I should go home and [Groovy and Funky grab her by and arm and pull her into a room] CHAAAAAAAAANGE!!!

Inside the room the girls dig through racks and boxes of clothes and accessories. They then push Sabrina behind a screen and the air fills with her outfit being thrown over the side of the screen.

Sabrina:[in Funky's outfit] I am NOT wearing this!!!!![glares at them] I mean platform boots?! I'd sprain my ankles in no time.. and this skirt!! Geez!![pulls it down in the front and back] bending over to pick up a penny would cause a huge traffic accident behind me!!!

Funky: [glares at her] You're point is?

Groovy: I got an idea!![big smile on her face]

Sabrina:[eyes narrow as she looks at her] And NO I am not dressing like you.

Groovy: [pouts] Rats.

Sabrina:[goes behind the screen ] Really girls.. I can dress myself you know!

Funky:[elbows Groovy in the ribs and smiles] Yeah and what a great job you did this morning. [Groovy giggles]

Sabrina: SHUT UP!!! [pokes her head out from behind the screen]And how the heck do you take this skirt off?!

Reiko:[ human once more and in her uniform again] Ms.. Ms. Sabrina.. allow me.

The door opens and both Funky and Groovy sail out into the hallway. Reiko stands there dusting her hands off and shuts the door behind her.

Funky: Ingrate!!!

Groovy: I'll say.. she didn't even say thank you.

Sabrina:[behind the screen undressing] Thanks a bunch Reiko.. I owe you one.

Reiko: It's… it's okay Ms. Sabrina. [looks down with her face red as a beet]

Sabrina;[pokes her head out] You okay? What's wrong?

Reiko: I feel like an idiot changing like that in front of you. [looks down with her shoulders drooped] You must think I'm some kind of freak.

Sabrina; [smiles] Well considering that right now.. you seem to be the only harmless person here, you don't seem to freakish to me.

Reiko:[looks up and smiles] Th…..thank you Ms. Sabrina. Now.. I think I may have something you will look just peachy in.

Sabrina: Um.. I don't think I like the word "peachy".

Reiko: Trust me. [sorts through the rack of clothes]

Sabrina: Alright.. I mean how much worse can you do?

The door opens a bit later as Groovy and Funky are sitting on the floor. They get to their feet and see Reiko exit first then Sabrina does too.

Groovy: Oh gosh [clasps her hands] oh golly oh wow!!!!

Funky: Wow.. you look like.. heh the bosses dream come true.. he'll be speechless.

The scene goes to Miguel, who is at his desk. He sees Funky.. then Groovy enter with HUGE smile son their faces. Their giggling makes him a bit suspicious.

Miguel: What did you do?![crosses his arms and glares at them]

Funky: TADAAAA!!!

Sabrina enters slowly. She is dressed in her usual fashion but is wearing a blue long sleeve shirt with an Autobot symbol on the front.

Miguel: [looks at Funky} Tell me you guys didn't dress her like this on purpose.

Sabrina: What? I think I look cool.[looks at her shirt]

Miguel: Yeah.. but you know I'll have to fight with you as long as you wear that shirt.

Sabrina: Huh? Why?

Miguel: Cause..[unbuttons his shirt and reveals a Decepticon T-shirt under it] I'm a Hackfield and you're a Mcoy.

Sabrina: Nice shirt, but no need for jokes.[sits at her desk and boots up her computer]

Miguel:[looks at the reader] She thinks, I'm joking.[shakes his head]

Sabrina works her magic on the eMenagerie site, she stops a bit and pops her neck as she sees Miguel scribbling something. She looks over at his computer and recognizes it.

Sabrina; [glares at him] YOU USE AN iMAC!!!!!??

Miguel:[looks up from his work] Yeah, so?

Sabrina: Nothing, just that why in the world would you use such an evil device?

Miguel:[cracks a smile] Really, I had no idea Nazi's made iMacs.

Sabrina: Might as well.

Miguel: I suppose you bow down to Microsoft infected PCs?

Sabrina:[crosses her arms] I happen to have an Amiga.

Miguel: Oh I have lots of those, "female friends". I had no idea you spoke Spanish.

Sabrina: [raises an eyebrow] Funny. Do you even know what an Amiga is?

Miguel: Yeah sure, one of those things that chased Jeff Goldblum and Sam Neil around that theme park island right?

Sabrina:[rolls her eyes] Oh you're a riot.

Miguel: Listen girl, I go with Macs cause I refuse to bow down to Big Billy Gates.

Sabrina: Well, at least I know you're not absolute evil.

Miguel: Yeah working with dead computers.. "Nercomancing" is considered evil you know.

Sabrina: It's old.. so what, a lot better than any Mac.

Miguel: If you say so, [gets up and leaves the office] But we'll be around long after you guys go the way of the Dodo. "We are the future Charles, not them"[walks out the door]

Sabrina: [eyes narrow and she goes back to work] Leave me with an X-men line will he?

Later Miguel is at his computer. He groans and bangs his keyboard. Sabrina looks up from her work with a grin on her face.

Sabrina: My.. so the mighty god of computers is having an off day.

Miguel: Not a word.

Sabrina: Nope not from me, but tell me is HAHAHA a word?

Miguel: You're working my last nerve.[turns to her and glares at her] Ms. Sabrina.. don't make me angry, you wouldn't like me when I'm angry.

Sabrina: Okay.. Incredible MAC, whatever you say.

Miguel: [looks back at his iMac] Not only do you freeze on me.. but you make me lose face in front of the girl. You will pay.

Sabrina continues with her work. A bit later a Shrapnel figure pops up on her shoulder held up by a white with black stripes hand.

Sabrina; [looks at the figure] May I help you?

Shrapnel:[with Miguel's voice] Greetings Sabrina, I am Shrapnel, leader of the Insecticons. It has come to my attention that you don't respect your boss. As a boss I must tell you that if any of my Insecticons didn't respect me they'd find themselves scrapped. I urge you to show Miguel some respect and leave his better than you silly Amiga computer iMac alone.

Sabrina: [looks on her desk] Where is my bug spray?

Shrapnel: KICKBACK, BOMBSHELL, prepare for battle!!!!

Sabrina; Aha!![whaps Miguel on the head with a rolled up newspaper] Such a huge roach.. this place really needs pest control.

Miguel: Oh haha it is to laugh. Tell me, are you still running from Pepe Lepew or did you get a Restraining Order put on him?

Sabrina: Oh that's original.[rolls her eyes] Come up with that one on your own?

Miguel: Ms. Sabrina?

Sabrina: Must you call me that?[looks at him]

Miguel: Sabrina-chan?

Sabrina:[raises an eyebrow] Try again.

Miguel: Chica loca?

Sabrina; Okay I know that last one means "Crazy".

Miguel ; Ah.. well I'm glad you listen to Ricky Martin, but how about learning my language, you'd know lots of things I say.

Sabrina: Why am I even fighting with you? I got work to do.[goes back to her computer]

Miguel: [looks at Shrapnel] I tell you Shrapnel, the female of the species is a cumbersome enigma wrapped in utter frustration.

Shrapnel: And which species is that?

Miguel: Take your pick.

Sabrina;[stops and turn and glares at him] WHAT was that?!

Miguel: Oh but she is cute when she's angry.[smiles]

Sabrina;[faces loses expression and she turns pale. She goes back to working on her computer] Um working working working.

Miguel:[walks off to his desk] Now if she only wore pants.

Sabrina;[slams her head against the monitor] I AM wearing pants!!!

A bit later Sabrina looks over at Miguel. He' working on his iMac.. well trying to as he fights, trying to get it to do what he wants faster than it's working.

Sabrina: Miguel.. I take it you fix it yourself.

Miguel:[looks over at her] I try. But I don't seem to be very good at it.

Sabrina; It shows. I'd try to help you.. but I'd never forgive myself if I helped one of those things.

Miguel: Leave her alone.. I forgive her cause she's Y2K compliant.

Sabrina: Her?

Miguel: Yeah. I named her Sabrina.

Sabrina: WHY?![glares at him]

Miguel: Cause Amy is an Amiga name [sticks his tongue out]

Sabrina:[eyes narrow] I'm not flattered.. not at all.

Miguel: I named her after that Harrison Ford movie.. you know.. the one that was a remake of an older film?

Sabrina: Right.. I'll have you know only cool things are named Sabrina.

Miguel: Really, how'd that teenage witch get by?

Sabrina:[slams her fists against the computer] WHY YOU!![sees the computer go blip] NOOOOOOO!!!

Miguel: Boy…

Sabrina: NOT A WORD!!!!

Miguel: I was going to say boy lucky that program you were using saves every few minutes automatically. But it's my fault Ms. Sabrina, please feel free to use my computer.[half grin on his face]

Sabrina: I'd rather not.

Miguel: Well I have an iBook laptop if you want that?

Sabrina: No!!!

Miguel: Oh okay .[gets out of his chair and walks over to her] then I guess we can do this.[he bangs on top of the monitor and it comes back]

Sabrina;[looks up at him] You knew it was just the monitor that went out…. didn’t you?

Miguel: Yeah.. it's a old one with a short in it.. too cheap to buy a new one.

Sabrina: You do know that.. I despise you right?

Miguel:[looks a bit worried] You're not gonna skunk me are you?

Sabrina; NO!!! I'm not that kinda of girl. Count your lucky stars.

Miguel: How about a break then.. for you to cool off.

Sabrina: Fine. [gets out of her chair and walks off]

Miguel: Guess the other reason you wouldn't is cause you're wearing pants huh? [laughs but then gets hit with a stress ball] OW!! [grabs his face] I knew I shouldn’t have given you that yesterday.

Sabrina: [pokes her head back in] Why? It works.. I'm no longer stressed.

Miguel: Hoooooboy.

Much later after Sabrina has had time to cool off, Sabrina enters the bathroom and heads for the sink. She places her glasses on the counter and splashes water on her face. As she dries her face she spots something, she puts her glasses back on and sees Miguel staring out the window. He is now wearing a white Chinese vest and is perched atop the window ledge.

Sabrina: Miguel? What are you doing?

Miguel: [continues to stare outside] Watching life go by.

Sabrina: You don't get out much do you?[smiles]

Miguel: I don't go home till after dark, I miss all the stuff that goes on during the day.

Sabrina: You aren't missing much. trust me.

Miguel:[hops down and stands next to her] I don't see it that way.[puts his hands in his pockets and leans against the wall] Are you aware that.. that time you saw me.. for the first time.. was the first time I had been out in months during the day?

Sabrina: Wow. Do you stay here all day then?

Miguel[nods] I don't get along well with others.. so I stay here.

Sabrina: Don't you have any friends to hang out with?

Miguel: They're all back home.

Sabrina: What about family?

Miguel: Do you go visit your family?[glares at her]

Sabrina: Okay you got me there.[leans against the wall next to him] But still you must have something?

Miguel: Look around you.. this is all I have.

Sabrina: Wall to wall toilets?

Miguel: Metaphorically .. yes.[looks down]

Sabrina: Heh.. but I must admit.. they're the cleanest I've seen. [Miguel looks up] yeah.. when I used them this..

Miguel: Do I need to know this?

Sabrina;[blushes] Oh right.. um they're clean.. we'll leave it at that.

Miguel: Better off. I have a semi phenomenal, near cosmic imagination.. it develops mental pics of what people tell me when they talk, I don't think you want me getting a mental pic of you sitting..

Sabrina; Okay I get the point.[hits him in the arm] I still despise you.

Miguel: That's too bad.. cause I'm very fond of you[walks off]

Sabrina: [stands speechless] He LOVES doing this to me.
