The Beginning
This is why I don't fire Paige and hire my characters. Me and Paige were talking and I asked her to make a post on the blog and she didn't want to so we argued and argued and argued some more. So point blank I told her she was fired and then I got to thinking ... what would it be like to have the characters of our story as my employees?
This is what happens when I fire Paige, get bored and think too much :)
Me: Welcome to Jonathan and Company.
Isabella: This place is awesome! Right James?
James: Oh yeah! What do you think Kat?
Lady Katerina: I seen better in a trash can.
Isabella: Remind me why you are here again?
Katerina: The same reason you are Hooligan!
James: Oh no you better move Jonathan they like to throw stuff!
Me: Throw stuff? No not my TV!!!
Isabella: Take that Miss. I'm All That!!!
Lady Katerina: Please my aged old butler has better aim that you.
Isabella: Why don't you just LEAVE?!!!
Me: Ladies please your destroying my room :'(
James: Stop it!!!
Isabella and Katerina: STAY OUT OF IT!!!!!
Me: Ummm Paige I might need your services again ... and fast.
Me: Double Pay?
Me: HEY NOT MY COMPUTER ... beep .... beep ... bee......

Me: (Humming) what a wonderful day at Jonathan And Company!
Paige: Morning Boss!
Me: Hello Paige, do you have those descriptions for me?
Paige: No not yet. Thanks to Isabella and Lady Katerina we lost another copy
machine so, I've been busy all morning doing damage repair.
Me: (Sighs) What am I going to do about them?
Paige: You could fire them? (Looks up hopefully from her desk)
Me: (Scoffs) And lose three employees who work for free? I don't think so.
James, Isabella and Lady Katerina walk in.
James: Morning Boss!
Isabella: Morning!
Lady Katerina: Whatever!
(My Office)
Me: Time to relax with some coffee and maybe a big box of .... BAM!
CRASH!!! Paige sticks her head in the door.
Paige: You might want to get out here Boss.
Me: Right now?
CRASH!!!!! (Paige looks pointedly at Jonathan.)
Me: (Sighs) Now.
Opens door.
Me: What is going on? OMG!
Printer goes flying across the room.
Isabella: You called me a floozy you two-face ....
Lady Katerina: Well maybe if you would just leave and not ever bother me or
James again I wouldn't call you a floozy.
Isabella: Katerina you just made a major mistake!
Lady Katerina: Well do something about it!
James: Guys maybe you should stop before you get us fired.
Lady Katerina and Isabella: STAY OUT OF IT!!!
Paige: Please can't we just solve this without violence or the loss of office
machines ...
Me: Paige is right. Let's all be friends.
James: Yes please listen to Paige and Boss!
Katerina and Isabella: I told you to stay out of it James!
Katerina and Isabella: Stop saying what I say!
Isabella: That's it! I don't care if I get fired! Katerina you're about to
learn just how good I am at decorating. (Takes a permanet marker and slides it
across Katerina's face.)
Katerina: OMG! I am going to kill you! (Wraps her hands around Isabella's
throat.)
James: No!!!!!!! Let go! Let go! Boss help me.
Me: No not a Lawsuit!
Me: Please let go! If she dies I will have a law suit on my hands!
Isabella: Really? She is trying to murder me and all you care about is
getting a law suit. (Pushes Katerina off of her and starts walking towards
Jonathan.)
James: Isabella what are you doing?
Isabella: Katerina how about me make an alliance just for a few mintues against
someone else? After all he has us doing all this work and for no pay at all
.... (Grins evilly)
Lady Katerina: I think that is the best idea you have ever had. Well
maybe the only idea you've had ever had but, ...
Isabella: Katerina shut up! Let's get him!!!!!!!!!
Me: Oh no! NO! Paige help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Runs around office knocking over
desks and hiding behind Paige and James.

The Office: Part Two
Me: Noooo!!! Paige!!! (Runs clear past Paige attempting to escape Isabella and Katerina) Help me!

Luther: My name is Luther Damien and I want a job .... now. (Growls last word)
Me: A job? Ummm .... sure, I guess. Please step into my office (Motions for Luther to walk into his office and pulls Paige over)
Paige: (Whispering) Do you really think this a good idea?
James: Yeah Boss he seems kinda creepy.
Lady Katerina: He doesn't look creepy, he looks like a creep!
Me: People go back to work! We can always use more hands at Jonathan and Company.
Isabella: Yeah more hands to murder us.
(John shoots Isabella a look that clearly says "Get back to work" and motions for Paige who is approaching his office door to back off)

Luther: (Silence)
Me: Okay then well if you will follow me (Motions for Luther to exit the office)
(Work office)
James: I don't think I like the guy very much.
Isabella: He's always staring ...
Lady Katerina: Basically he's a creep.
(Luther walks into office just as she says that.)
John: (Laughs nervously) Okay everybody settle down let's get to work.
Lady Katerina: What? I was just telling the truth.
Isabella: Shut up Kat!
Lady Katerina: What have I told you about calling me Kat!
Isabella: Well too bad because I don't care!
Me and James: Ladies ....
Isabella and Katerina: SHUT UP!
(Stapler and printer going flying across the room)
Paige: (Ducking down with me and James) Everyday, every stinking day!
Luther: (Standing in the doorway to the work office) These women are crazy.
Paige: You have no idea (Ducks her head as the last copy machine in the office goes flying past)
Luther: (Shakes his head and walks off)

The Business Trip
Me:
Another wonderful day at Jonathan and Company! Morning Paige!
Paige:
Morning, Hey John guess what?
Me:
What?!
Paige:
Well one ... you should probably hold the excitement until you find out what it
is but, in this case get really excited because we got invited to attend a
conference in Baltimore, Maryland!
Me:
Really?! Oh I can't wait to tell ... hang on! How much?
Paige:
Nada! As long as we agree to preview the products shown at the conference they
will pay for the airplane, hotel and even our meals.
Me: Great! Then I will have to send my best employees ... Isabella and Lady
Katerina.
Paige: *Cough*
Me: Don't cough me Paige, your my best employee which is why I need you to stay
here with me.
Paige: In other words if I go the office will turn into a complete
jungle?
Me: A jungle? I wouldn't let my office turn into (Stops talking and thinks
about it before shaking his head in defeat.) Well .... yeah I guess it would get
a little crazy around here.
(Lady Katerina, James, Isabella and Luther walk in to start the day.)
(Lady Katerina, James, Isabella and Luther walk in to start the day.)
James
and Isabella: Morning Boss!
Lady
Katerina: What's going on Boss you look excited ... too excited ...
Me:
Don't worry about me Katerina, just get to work!
Luther:
(Complete silence)
*A Few Days Later*
Me: Okay guys gather around (The employees gather around him in the main office.) Well I have some exciting news!
Lady
Katerina: Oh no please don't tell me you're purchasing another copy machine for
that evil witch to destroy!
Isabella:
Who are you calling a evil witch you drooling dummy!
Me: Ladies STOP! (Everyone stops and stares since John usually doesn't raise
his voice.) Thank you ... the news is that the company has been invited to go
to an all expense paid conference in Maryland!
Lady
Katerina: I knew it! And I just know you want me and James to go represent the
company right Boss?
Me: Well ....
Isabella:
You knew it? What are you physic now? Because I believe the correct word is
"Delusional"! You want me and James to go right Boss?
Me: If you just let me explain ....
Lady
Katerina: You and James? I don't think so! In case you forgot James is my
boyfriend and James doesn't even sit next to you in the office. All you have to
talk to everyday is a wall.
Isabella:
Honey the wall is better company than you and I bet James would agree
with me. Wouldn't you James? (Puts hands on hips, staring down James.)
James: .....
Me:
OKAY ENOUGH! (Once again all activity in the office ceases as John raises his
voice for the second time in one day.) Thank you ... again! Isabella and
Katerina, both of you just .... (thinking for the right words) you know what?
Just SHUT UP for a minute and let me finish.
Isabella
and Lady Katerina: Hmph!
Me:
Like most conferences the company will only be represented by two people from
the office. The two people I have chosen is because they work hard and I
believe this will be a learning experience for both of them and without further
ado ... the two employees I have chosen will be .......
To Be Continued ....
Choosing
Me: The two employees I have chosen are ….. Isabella and Katerina.
Isabella and Lady Katerina: What? No!
Isabella: Sorry Boss but, I just remembered I had a …. a …. dentist appointment!
Katerina: Really Bimbo? A dentist appointment! (Saying this while moving behind James for protection.) You (Pointing at John) cannot do this to us!
Isabella: (Muttering under her breath the whole time Lady Katerina is talking) I am going to *accidentally* kill that little witch and then the world will have one less floozy.
James: (Moving to come stand between Lady Katerina and Isabella) Come on Kat, Isabella think of this as a way to bond. To maybe … become … friends? (Puts on his best winning smile as he puts an arm around each of them and pulls them close.)
Lady Katerina: (Pushes James away and advances on Isabella) Become friends with this bimbo? I don’t think so!
Isabella: Bimbo? Bimbo! Actually you know what? Thanks Kat, you just gave me a reason to do this.
Katerina: (Backs up towards the copy machine wearily) Do what?
Isabella: (Smiles) This! (Picks up cup of water and throws it out Lady Katerina)
Katerina: (Ducks and water hits copy machine.)
Copy Machine: (Makes a hissing sound before … BOOM!)
Paige: That’s it! Isabella isn’t going to get a chance to accidentally kill Katerina because I am about to kill both of you. (Lunges at Isabella and Lady Katerina.)
Isabella and Lady Katerina: (Duck behind John as he catches Paige around the stomach.)
John: (While carrying an angry Paige into his office) Isabella, Katerina go pack, both of you! James is right this will be a good chance for you to bond.
Isabella and Lady Katerina: (Walking through the exit door, grumbling all the way.)
James: (Sitting at desk with his eyes closed.) Dear Lord, please let Kat be alive when she and Isabella get done with this conference and please don’t let Isabella go to prison for murder. Amen!
Luther: (Who had watched the whole spectacle from a safe distance) These people are crazy!

The Conference and Arrest
(Baltimore, Maryland)
Flight Attendant: Thank you
for flying with Way Too Cheap airline. Please exit on your right and watch your
step.
Lady Katerina: Oh my gosh! Did you see what she was wearing?
Isabella: Do you ever not judge anybody?
Lady Katerina: (Shrugging) Life wouldn’t be interesting.
Isabella: (Muttering to self) And now I know why you don’t have any friends.
Lady Katerina: Did you say something?
Isabella: Uh … yeah isn’t that the cab driver that is supposed to pick us up?
Taxi Driver: Excuse me, Isabella Taylor and Lady Katerina Fernandez?
Isabella: Yes that’s us.
Taxi Driver: Good day Madams! My name is Jason and I will be your driver for
the next few days.
Katerina: Thank goodness! Get my bag and don’t drop it!
Taxi Driver…
Katerina: Well what are you waiting for?
Isabella: (Whispering to the driver) Forgive the beast, she wasn’t taught any
better.
Lady Katerina: I heard that Isabella!
Isabella: (Whispering again) No she didn’t or she would be on top of me
attempting to kill me.
Taxi Driver: Hahaha.
Isabella: (Serious face.) No really.
Taxi Driver: Oh!
(Later In The Evening)
Announcer: Welcome to the 2011 Official
Business Owners Conference! The winner of this year’s conference will win up to
one million dollars of funding for their business. Please start setting up your
stands.
Lady Katerina: What are you doing? That looks horrible.
Isabella: You mean like your face?
Lady Katerina: You … you floozy!
Isabella: Can’t you ever find a better insult?
Lady Katerina: Ugh! You have driven me to the brink of insanity Isabella
Taylor!
Isabella: Well then apparently I haven’t done a good enough job or you would be
completely insane.
Lady Katerina: Don’t worry about that Bella who can’t get a fella.
Isabella: This always comes back to James doesn’t it?
Lady Katerina: No why would it? James is mine and you mean nothing to him.
Isabella: Oh really Kat? Because James doesn’t even know your full name. Yet he
knows every little detail about me. Can you really say that Katerina?
Lady Katerina: No but, I have everything you don’t. Money. Everything the heart
desires can only come from what I have. Money!
Isabella: Yes except one thing …
Lady Katerina: What?
Isabella: True love. It may not be a romantic love but, a true love of
friendship.
Lady Katerina: …
Isabella: (Senses she has gone too far.) Katerina …
Lady Katerina: Save it you two-face timer!
Isabella: Really? Really for once I attempt to apologize and then you insult
me.
Katerina: You did tell me to come up with a better insult.
Isabella: You know what? Let’s do this the right way. (Jumps on Katerina.)
Katerina: You stupid floozy get off of me!
Isabella: Make me! (Continues punching and kicking.)
Random Person: Someone call the cops!
Isabella: (Throws a table on top of Katerina.) Hey Kat did anyone ever tell you
look good with a table on top of you?
(Quarter of an Hour Later)
Police Man: Isabella Taylor you are under arrest for assault, battery and disturbing the peace. Lady Katerina Fernandez you are under arrest for assault and disturbing the peace.
Lady Katerina: Let me go! Let me go!
Isabella: Shut up before you get us in more trouble!
Lady Katerina: Help!

The End
(The Next Day)
Luther: (Walks into room,
stopping at Paige’s office.) Mail.
Paige: (Smiling, in an unusually good mood since Isabella and Lady Katerina are not here.) Thank you Luther! Aren’t you kind!
Luther: (Looks at Paige like she has lost her mind.) Sure. (Shakes his head now thinking she has lost her mind and walks off.)
Paige: What a nice boy! (Goes next door to John’s office.) Mail delivery!
Me: (Flashes a smile) Thanks Paige. Anything good?
Paige: (Smiles back) No idea unlike you I don’t read other people’s mail.
Me: (Grimaces but, then shakes his head in agreement. He did kinda have a habit of looking through people’s mail. It was fun!) Bill … bill … bill … Ohhh! Look Paige something from Baltimore.
Paige: Oh no! What have they done?
Me: (Shakes his head at Paige) Oh come on Paige, don’t you have any faith in
Isabella and Lady Katerina?
Paige: (Snorts, almost doubling over in laughter.) No!
Me: Really Paige! You should have a little hope. Now let’s see … it’s from the conference and it says Mr. John Whitehead you are here by ordered by the Business Conference Association to pay exactly …. Oh no! Oh no! Oh no! Oh no!
Paige: What? What did they do? I told you to let me and James go!
Me: To pay exactly one million dollars in damages. I think I am going to … I think I am going too (Passes out on floor.)
Paige: (Smiling, in an unusually good mood since Isabella and Lady Katerina are not here.) Thank you Luther! Aren’t you kind!
Luther: (Looks at Paige like she has lost her mind.) Sure. (Shakes his head now thinking she has lost her mind and walks off.)
Paige: What a nice boy! (Goes next door to John’s office.) Mail delivery!

Me: Really Paige! You should have a little hope. Now let’s see … it’s from the conference and it says Mr. John Whitehead you are here by ordered by the Business Conference Association to pay exactly …. Oh no! Oh no! Oh no! Oh no!
Paige: What? What did they do? I told you to let me and James go!
Me: To pay exactly one million dollars in damages. I think I am going to … I think I am going too (Passes out on floor.)
(Coming Back to Reality)
Paige: John! John wake up!
Me: (Wakes up knocking his chair over.)
Paige: Sorry for waking you but, you know better than to fall asleep at work.
You are the boss, you have to set a good example.
Me: Sorry Paige I didn’t mean to fall asleep. Oh! And don’t tell me what to do.
Paige: (Rolls eyes knowing John wouldn’t fire her in a million years.) Anyway!
What were you dreaming about that made you knock over your chair?
Me: Oh Paige it was horrible. I sent Isabella and Lady Katerina ….
Paige: Oh! Sorry to interrupt John but, I forgot to tell you that Isabella and
Lady
Katerina left a few minutes ago ….
John: Left? Left! Noooooooooo! (Runs out of the room bypassing the elevator to
run down the stairs to go after them.)
Paige: (Looking confused.) What? All I was going to say was Isabella and Lady
Katerina left a few minutes ago to go get lunch.
