#THOMAS/TOMMY ANDERSON POV#
"Did you take out the trash?" Asks my boss, Andrew, as I come back into my workplace
McDonald's
I work at McDonald's
I shake my head as I know that I have no other choice, but how I wish I did
"Hey, Tommy, Madelyn is not going to make it today family emergency. I need you to cover the night shift, and no before you ask," He says as I close my mouth I was going to ask about overtime but I know Andrew is a complete jackass
"I need the money," I whisper to myself as I know that I have to keep this job to pay the bills
I get to work as I keep some stuff ready as I cover the nightshift
I have been working for 6 hours already with the nightshift, I am going to have to stay for another 5
Soon, but not soon enough, my night shift is over and Micheal came in to take my place as I was finishing cleaning the men's restroom
"Grown-ass men, can't even shit in the toilet," I say grumbling in a bad mood at having to clean literal shit from the floor
There wasn't even an attempt to do it in the toilet, the shit was right next to it
I get to my car and get inside
Trying to turn it on I begin begging for my car to turn on
"Please not this," I say tearily as my car doesn't want to turn on
"Oh, please," I say turning the key one last time
This time it barely turns on and I let out a sob of relief
I lean my head on the wheel as this day has been terrible
More than usual
"I am so tired," I say to myself as I take a deep breath
Getting out of the parking lot, I begin to make my way over to my apartment
"Oh, goddammit," I say as I see my gas is a quarter full and I won't get paid until 2 weeks from now
"I am going to have to walk again," I complain as I am even behind on my rent by a month
I just suck it up and keep going to my apartment
"I could walk one day and then use my car the next," I suggest to myself and then a good idea comes to my head
"Could sell my car and buy a bike," I say out loud as that is a good idea as I live rather close to McDonald's
Getting to the apartment complex, I raise my little card for the gate to open and soon I park my car and then I hear something that makes me want to cry
My car ends up shutting down by itself as soon as I park and some smoke comes out the hood
I rub my face with my hands as tears begin to come out of my eyes
I hold it in as I get to my apartment, deciding to deal with it tomorrow as I am exhausted
Opening the door I grab a letter with the word notice written in red and I know that it is because I am behind on rent, I go inside and quickly close the door behind me and my stomach grumbles in hunger
"Of course," I say to myself as I go over to my little kitchen area and open the fridge only to see water bottles and some eggs that I am sure are expired by now
Getting a water bottle out, I bring it over to the electric stove and bring a kettle out
Pouring the water into the kettle and turning on the electric stove to heat up the water, I grab one of the last 4 Instant Cup noodles and place it on the little plastic table
I sit down on a foldable cheap plastic chair as I let out a shuddering breath
My eyes feel heavy as I am exhausted
Feeling my throat parched I grab another water bottle and take a sip from it
"Remember at least 2 bottles of water a day," I say to myself as I go over to the stove and turn it off as I grab the kettle and pour the boiling water into the cup
Waiting for it to be ready, I then eat it keeping the hunger at bay for a while longer
Going over to my bedroom, I crash into my bead as I finally go to sleep
#THE NEXT DAY#
"Ugh," Is the first thing I say as I wake up as my stomach complains about hunger
"Can't eat anything until midday," I say as I have to ration my food for as long as possible
Ignoring my hunger I go wash myself in the shower and get ready for the day
To entertain myself, I turn on the TV which is rather old and flip through the channels
Somehow finding the Ben 10 Alien Force pilot episode
I smile as I watch Ben looking at the Omnitrix
I watch the rest of the episode and see how he tries to use it against Kevin and the Forever Knights only for the screen to turn to static as I get up
"No man, not now," I say as I go over to the TV and try tapping it
When that doesn't work, I try to give it a good smack which seems to work as I see the Omnitrix recalibrating, then it turns to static again
This time though, I try to tap it on the screen only for my hand to go through the screen, and in panic, my hand closes around something, then I pull it out as something latches itself to my left arm
Falling on my butt, I let out a brief scream of surprise at that as I move back from the TV
The TV goes back to normal as I stare at the TV showing the rest of the episode
Shivers go up my back as I feel a rather comfortable weight on my left wrist
I bring up my wrist and I gasp in shock as I see a certain watch
"What the fuck dude," I whisper as I stare at the Omnitrix on my wrist
I gulp as fear begins to crawl up my spine
Getting to my feet, I just stare at it for a bit
I rub the Omnitrix on the sides to try and see if it is the real deal
I feel my eyes widen as I see and hear the Omnitrix move
The iconic noise it makes, the faceplate rising up and the resulting hologram that appears drives the point home
"I have the Omnitrix," I say out loud as I sit down on the chair
Looking at the hologram, I can see that Lodestar is an alien I have access to
Excitement creeps up on me as I turn the dial and see the next alien on the list
Chromastone
Going over the list, I quickly think about the aliens, I can use
Swampfire, Four-arms, Big Chill, XLR8, Jet-Ray, Chromastone, Echo Echo, Way Big, Brainstorm, and Lodestar
I go to my room, close the door, and lock it as I begin to think about it rationally once more
I reached into the TV by 'accident' and somehow got the Omnitrix
It can't be a coincidence
People's hands don't just randomly reach into TVs
I stare at the Omnitrix as feelings begin to crop up in me
I look around my room and see that I have nothing to my name that is worth a damn
An idea begins to form in my mind as I think more about it
With the Omnitrix, I can do so much
I can fix my life
Looking down at my clothes, I see that my current shirt has some holes near the bottom
I have been running ragged for a while now, and I am tired of it
I am so tempted to try out the Omnitrix, but I need to learn more about it
I go over to my computer and boot it up
I crack my fingers as I look for information about the Omnitrix
