Theresa and Whitney were helping Pilar fix breakfast
at the Lopez-Fitzgerald house the next morning.
"Oh, we're out of eggs, I'll go to the store down
the street and get some, I'll be back in a few minutes," Pilar said.

"Alright, mama." Theresa said.

"I just don't get it." Whitney said.

"Mom and Julian- dad and Rebecca? And Simone is
alright with this?" Whitney asked. "This is just
horrible. I had thought that Julian changed, until
he did something to convince my mom into leaving my
dad- and marrying him- and Rebecca- I don't buy her
so called nice act for a minute!" Whitney said. "She's probably manipulating my dad- she can't have Julian, so she'll just move right in and marry my dad!"

"You're right, Whitney, this has all happened too fast for it to make any sense.

"I agree," Fox said, entering the room. "Last night- Alastair sent a tape from the Crane security cameras that made Rebecca look pretty bad- Julian figured it out and tried to talk some sense into T.C."

"Wait- what was on the tape?" Theresa asked.

"I don't know, they got rid of the tape so no one else could see it." Fox said.

"Wait- I have an idea!" Theresa said. "I don't know if you guys will like it, but what if Alastair has
more of those tapes."

"I don't think seeing it twice is going to change T.C.'s mind," Fox said in confusion.

"No, I mean he's got to have other tapes of other
things Rebecca has done. I don't want to sink to
her level- but if Whitney is this worried about her dad marrying Rebecca, she's probably right." Theresa said.

T.C. grinned and kissed Rebecca.

"So, are you ready for your first day at work?" T.C.
asked.

"Yes, and I'm going to be late- that wouldn't look so good on my first day of having a job!" Rebecca said.
Rebecca kissed T.C. before she left for the Book
Cafe.

After she arrived, Beth and Chad sighed in disbeleif.

"Rebecca Hotchkiss getting a job- I'm horrified." Beth said.

"This should be entertaining," Chad said skeptically. Beth and Chad struggled to keep from laughing as the
boss told Rebecca what to do. Rebecca walked around the restauraunt and took orders from the customers.

"This is almost too easy!" Rebecca said. She ignored
remarks from the customers about how anyone from the Crane mansion couldn't possibly hold down a job.

Everything was going fine, until she saw Tabitha Lennox- with Endora- sitting at a table. Tabitha smirked.

"We are going to make Rebecca's first day at work a living nightmare!" Tabitha said. "You want to use your
powers, dont' you Endora?"

Rebecca took Tabitha's order.

"Not yet," Tabitha whispered.

"What was that?" Rebecca asked.

"Nothing," Tabitha said. Rebecca returned with
Tabitha's order after a few minutes.

As Rebecca was placing the items on the table, Tabitha whispered to Endora caused the tray that
Rebecca was carrying to fly out of her hands.
Endora made it look like Rebecca had tripped. As
she tried to regain her balance, Endora caused one of the items to move in Rebecca's path. Rebecca slipped on it, and Endora caused her to go sliding across the floor. She plowed into a table, knocking down a few chairs.

"This is appauling!" The couple at the table yelled, trying to jump out of her way. Rebecca tried to get off of the floor, and slipped on something else Endora had put in her path.

"What is going on?" Beth asked.

"I don't know, Chad said, amused. He sighed. Beth
walked over.

"Rebecca what is going on?" Beth exclaimed.

"I don't know," Rebecca said desperately, trying to
get up. Without warning, Endora caused Rebecca to
go sliding again. She plowed straight into Beth.

"Beth are you ok?" Chad yelled. Chad tried to help Beth up, but was dragged down. Antonio walked
into the cafe.

"Luis- trying to steal my wife-" Antonio thought dumbly. Antonio was snapped out of his dazed and
confused mental state when he was plowed by Beth,
Chad, and Rebecca. The four of them moaned in pain as Endora sent them crashing into the wall, so hard that
a sign was knocked off and landed on them. When everyone was preoccupied trying to get up in serious pain, Endora caused objects to fall off of the walls,
and also put a huge hole in one of the walls. Endora looked towards the kitchen. A cook ran out screaming, and stop, dropped and rolled to put his apron out, which had caught on fire! Smoke filled the kitchen.
Chad grabbed a fire extinguisher, rushed in, put out the flames, while customers ran out screaming in panic.

"Oh my-" was all that Rebecca could say.

"You're fired!" Beth said.

"So, how was your first day at work?" T.C. asked when Rebecca came home, surprised she had came home so early.

"I completely destroyed the place and sent everyone running out in panic," Rebecca said.

"What?" T.C. asked.

"I don't know what happened, everything was going fine, until I took Tabitha Lennox's order." Rebecca said, explaining everything to a stunned T.C.
