	Xandra stepped into Sandie's for the first time. 'Is this what it feels to be inside a beehive?' she thought. 'It's warm. Everyone seems so busy. This is the first time I've been here.'. She walks over to the front.

  "Hi, what can I get for you today?" said the barista. "I wou--I'm here for work." answered Xandra.

  "Alright and do you have a membership card with us?"

  "No, I just got here."

  "Okay and what's your name?"

  "Xandra."

  "Alright, come to the back and I’ll get you ready."

  After what she thought was thirty minutes, the barista walked over to her and told Xandra to follow her to the store's back exit. A van that was perfectly disguised as a bus was parked with the side door open. The barista then told her to get inside the vehicle.
  

                                                                                                    . . .


  Xandra was very nervous throughout the whole trip, but she was relieved that she was dropped off at the right place. As she walked in, she was greeted by Charles—a man with wavy, ginger hair that looked to be what she imagined to be pumpkin spice latte to look like. She met this man before he was the one controlling the 682 puppet head. "Are you ready to be backup, new girl?" he asked with a toothy grin. She nods with a matching smile and follows him to the Filming room.
  

                                                                                                    . . .



  "Cut! That's a wrap!" Kenneth yelled out.

  Charles takes the costume off. "You did great and that scream, though. Was that real?" he says to Xandra. "Your poor throat." 

  "Ngghh..." she groans in pain. "I think my uvula came loose..."

  "Your what?" he chuckles. "Are you okay? Do you need any water or something?"

  She catches her breath. "Yeah... I think so, I'll get it later. How about you guys? Are you doing good?"

  "Yeah, I'm doing alright." says Charles.

  She turns to Kenneth. "Kenneth...?"

  "... Yeah, I'm okay."
