Like always, more people popped in and out of the shop around the afternoon. Some people were just browsing with excited whispers like, "If I were to get married, I would have this color but in orchids.". These types of conversations affected Elly differently depending on the day. Some times, she would find it funny, but other days, she would find it rather annoying. "Why don't you have any natural aqua colored daisies?" Asked one woman who seemed to be upset. "I'm sorry, they aren't in very high demand and the ones we sell aren't naturally grown that way." Elly explained calmly. "What do you mean they aren't grown naturally? Flowers grow in every color don't they?" This notion that their shop had a secret cache of natural flowers with every color, shade and hue imaginable was something that all those who worked at the shop had to suffer. Not wanting to be rude, Elly explained that they would have to order that particular kind of daisy if she was willing to wait a few days. This didn't seem to go over well either. The woman looked very much like an over decorated bird who had just been ruffled the wrong way. "I know the owner of this shop and she would go to great lengths to see her customers satisfied." She sniffed. Elly raised an eyebrow at her and sighed,"I'm terribly sorry, the soonest date I can get those daisies here for you is a little less than a week from now." "Tcht! You should have had them here in the first place! Aqua is a natural spring color! All the other shops have aqua decor!" The woman began shouting. She wasn't sure what was worse, the fact that this woman thought there was a flower for every color under the son or the fact that her shop not having a her particular color appear out of thin air was a crime. Then the woman mentioned her aunt who owned the place. Of course she would go to great lengths to see a customer happy. She would probably do what Elly was doing now, which was trying to get the flowers sent to them as soon as possible. The door chimed again and a tall thin woman with dreaded hair pulled back with a large rubber band entered the shop while tying her apron on. The stitched on name read, 'Hyacinth'. "Hi Ell!" She smiled then it quickly disappeared when she saw the purple faced woman at the front counter. "Oh boy.." the girl whispered skating behind the counter next to Elly. "Well, I guess I'll take my business to a more competent shop!", the woman roared intentionally being loud so that everyone was watching. "I'll call the owner and tell her what horrible service I received! I'm never recommending this terrible place to anyone at my business social." With that, the woman stormed out. Both Elly and Hyacinth stood perfectly still as well as the couple of people who were still browsing. Several seconds passed, then Elly felt it was safe to breath again. "Yeeesh! It's the weekend, why get your undies in a bunch over plants anyway?" Hyacinth sighed trying to lighten the mood. She gave Elly a pat on the back then spotted the small set of paper roses. "Ahh you made more!" Elly blushed a little and tried to squeeze out a small laugh after receiving a verbal assault from a very displeased customer. "Roses are getting easier to make than tulips." She grinned wiping bits of paper into her hand to put in the trash. "Do you mind if I step out for a sec Hye? I just need to shake 'that' off for a bit." "Only if I get to keep this one!" Hyacinth chimed holding up a particularly well crafted paper flower. "Sure, it's yours" Elly stepped out the back entrance where the dumpster was along with a few storage crates that used to house vases and large wheels of wire. They had already been stored in the back of the shop somewhere. "I know the owner of the shop! I can't believe you don't have any aqua colored daisies" Elly mocked while kicking the dumpster. People did not seem to understand that their shop was NOT this fantastical place where all you could find all of your botanical dreams come true. People like that woman made Elly seriously wish should could get a job that didn't deal with the public. She huffed and paraded around the back alley in an exaggerated version of the woman. The more she thought about it, the more upset she felt. She kicked the dumpster again, but this time a gust of wind cut up against the side of the dumpster and pulled the cover back for a moment only to have it smash back down loudly. Elly looked up the ally way then back down. A freak wind gust? As soon as it came, it went. This was a pleasant distraction though. It had successfully taken her mind of things. "Everything ok out here?" Called Hyacinth. "Yea! I'm coming back in" Not thinking twice about it, she hurried back into the shop.
