The last time we saw Jackie, Marleigh and Carissa, the micro girl had unfortunately lost her job. Good thing is that the local nail salon is hiring. Thing is, it's the most normal salon.

----------------------------------------------------

Jackie was nervous as all hell as she walked down the sidewalk, all dressed up in her best dress, shoes and makeup. She had all the proper papers in hand as she headed to the salon near Marleigh and Carissa’s place. It was the big day all three of them have been waiting for, the interview. After they left the VRcade a few days ago, they looked at how much the ‘stylist’ position would pay, being the most dangerous and difficult job in the place. Turns out, it made a lot more than Jackie’s former job ever did. Jackie waited all day and all night for a call from them and when it finally came, she almost fainted at the mention of finally getting a job she dreamed of.

As she stepped into the door, she saw a few micro women getting their toes done in the typical style with several men and women working on them. Jackie walked past everyone waiting as she headed over to the front desk where a nice woman was typing on her computer. Jackie coughed to clear her throat before she spoke up.

“Excuse me, I’m here for an interview...with the human section.” The woman looked up at Jackie as she handed her the papers.

“Ah you must be Jackie. I’ll call ahead. Just head through that door and the last door on your right. Ms. Wilson is waiting for you.” Jackie turned to metal door right to her right. Taking a deep breath, Jackie walked as she held the papers tight. She saw the long glass hallway with several doors. She saw several micros walking and talking as they walked and stepped into several doors. Then, Jackie looked up and saw an ebony sole just hovering directly above the glass. Her jaw dropped as she saw every little detail with several micros working on the giant woman’s sole. It wasn’t until now that Jackie realized that this hallway was actually part of the human section and the doors were entrances and exits for the ‘stylists’ to get to their clients feet. Now her dream was never to be this close to work with humans feet but here she was. Dating a human girl, going to an interview that had her work with human women’s feet, her desire for the past few months.

She tried her best not to look up at the soles hanging above her as to not make it seem like she was admiring other feet. She was devoted to Marleigh and her flawless feet so she wanted to suppress her instincts as best she could. But some women weren’t making it easy for the micro foot lover. One girl with tan feet brought her toes extremely close to the glass tube, letting her toes touch the ground while giving Jackie the view of a lifetime to see her soles. Dozens of wrinkles formed as the woman scrunched her toes even more, this almost caused Jackie lose control of herself. Until she heard a voice begin to talk, snapping her out the day dream she was having.

“You have an interest in these types of things don’t you?” Jackie shook her head as she looked to her left to see a much shorter woman looking out at the sole as well. The woman was short, even by micro standards. She was about half the height of Jackie who was average for her age. “Don’t worry girly, a lot of micros come in here just to look at their powerful feet. I’ve even seen some spend all day here just looking at them, noses bleeding and all. It’s mesmerizing isn’t it?”

“Umm, I’m actually here for an interview. I’m here to see a Ms. Wilson.” Jackie waited for response from the short woman but only got a nod as she looked at the woman soon walk away from her chair, causing the whole ground to shake slightly as the woman got up to pay for her time, leaving the micros that were working on her feet leave to come back inside.

“Well, there goes the show. Anyway, I’m Ms. Wilson, the owner. You must be Jackie. Come on in, step in my office. And if you thought that view was great, don’t worry. You’ll see plenty of feet like that if you pass this interview.” Ms. Wilson headed over to the last door on the right as Jackie followed behind. They walked in at the same time, Jackie paused as she looked around the wall, seeing plenty of trophies and awards stating that this was the best nail salon in town. “So Jackie, you want a job here, correct?” Ms. Wilson was short but quick on her feet. In the time it took Jackie to walk a few steps, she was already at the desk, sitting in the chair waiting for Jackie to take a seat.

“Yes mamm, I do.”

“Ok, answer me this. Do you have any experience with human feet? I know you’re interested in them, that’s no secret obviously but have you ever touched a girls feet after a mile run? How about when the girl has been walking all in high heels? Or with sandals? They all have different smells, the way they feel is very different. Now, have you ever touched a woman's feet before?”

“Well, my girlfriend lets me give her massages every now and then. Does that count?”

“Hmm, not to go too deep into your personal life but is your girlfriend a human?”

“Yes, yes she is. How is this relevant to the inter-“

“I ask, not to judge you, but to see if you know the dangers of being around humans. Especially with their feet.” Ms. Wilson then brought out a piece of paper and handed it to Jackie. “Jackie, you like feet. You love your girlfriend and so you wanted to combine the two in your career. You wouldn’t be the first and certainly not the last.” Jackie looked down at the paper and saw a pair of beautifully pedicured feet, the toenails were painted a bright white. She licked her lips as she looked further at the picture. “Now Jackie, tell me about yourself. Why should I hire you and let you fulfill your wildest fantasies with our clients’ feet?”

“Well umm...let’s see. I’d like to believe I have great work ethic. You give me something to do and I won’t quit until I’m done.” Jackie laughed slightly as she waited for a response from the short woman. It was an awkward few seconds before Jackie cleared her throat. “I guess my girlfriend likes my massages. Would it help if I massaged her feet after she ummm...walks around the town in these super cute shoes.” Jackie began to trail on as Ms. Wilson began to lean her head back in boredom.

“I’m sorry Jackie, I was drifting off. And don’t call me Ms. Wilson. That’s what people who don’t work for me call me.” Ms. Wilson then got up out of her chair as she got to Jackie. “I know this wasn’t the best interview you probably ever done but I like you kid. Most people that come in her think they like human feet but the second they get on the floor to get trained, they throw all that out the window. How to treat customers, how to react around them. Everything. We had a boy once that walked in the floor and as soon as he saw the feet of the woman his team would be working on, he ran right out of the building, almost got stepped on running outside. Poor guy.” Ms. Wilson then put her hand on Jackie’s shoulder. “Personally, I see you doing incredible work here Jackie.”

“Thank you ma'am, I deeply appreciate that.” Jackie said as she further looked at the paper, thinking of who these pair of feet belonged to. Her heart began to race as she imagined the picture being Marleigh’s feet. It was like her obsession and she lived for her sweet, dainty yet powerful feet. But pretty soon, she snapped out of her delusions once more.

“Ok Jackie. I can see that you’re going to be a good suit for us. Come, I’ll show you around. And please call me Summer. After all, I am your new boss.” Jackie smiled as she stood up to meet a handshake from Summer.

“Thank you so much. You won’t regret this. Now, how much does it pay?”

“Depends on what you want to do. Come.” Summer nudged Jackie forward as she stepped out of the office and back out of the hallway. “Here is the main hub but you probably figured that out already. We can have up six humans in seats at a time with about ten micros working on each foot. Some work on the toes by painting or touching them individually. The heel team gets the dead skin off from the most callused part of the foot and then the sole team massages the biggest thing of the foot and definitely the most sensitive. One wrong move could result in an unfortunate accident, for everyone working on both pairs of feet.” Summer then headed over to one the doors, bringing Jackie close behind. “Now, mind the noise as well as the smells all around when you exit. Some women that come in here come in fresh from a run or one of those micro bus systems.”

As Jackie walked out and looked around her and Summer, she thought about where she’d be best. Was it the toes? Back with Marleigh, her toes always looked best when she painted them either black or blue. Being able to polish all the toes she could dream of, painting them with love and care. But the other part of the foot she love so dearly had her most intrigued. The sole. Based on the time she spent at Marleigh’s feet, she absolutely loved the soles. Just the way they can be smooth as butter and then create wrinkles just by moving the toes up and down. Jackie shivered as she imagined working on all the soles she could possibly want to. Too many great choices for the foot loving micro. “How much does working on the sole pay?” Jackie asked, smelling the dull and musky air as well some loud footsteps go by them.

“Oh you like the soles do you? They happen to pay the most out of the careers but the most dangerous. But we pride ourselves in having great security for our workers. Haven’t had an accident in about three years.” Summer then brought Jackie’s attention to her immediate right as she saw about six workers massaging a giant sole with strange packs on their backs. Jackie was bewildered as she had only seen these types of thing in movies or on TV. “You like those? Anti grav packs, you’ve probably seen them around. Don’t get very high up relative to our height but they work just well for us. Primary method to ‘climb’ to the soles.”

“So I’ll be on one of those things?” Jackie at this point was still shaking, thinking what a terrible mistake she’d made. Marleigh had previously offered Jackie to move in with them, rent free but she had to be independent and get a new job. And here she was, facing her dream as well as her nightmare. Being at the mercy of a woman who most likely didn’t mind stepping down on a few micros just for kicks.

Fortunately, Summer noticed this and spoke up. “Jackie? Everything alright?”

“Oh yeah, just a little nervous. I’ve only been near one pair of feet in my whole adult life and it’s been my girlfriends….and maybe a few others too.”

Summer just nodded as she called out to a worker that was massaging the giant white sole along with the others. “Natalie!” Summer called as she watch Jackie’s eyes look up and saw one of the workers begin to fly down to them and when she landed, Jackie had to look up visibly as she was taken aback by this giant in micro form. All she could say was one word to the tall girl.

“Wow…”

“What are you looking at?” The tall Natalie just looked at the dazed Jackie about a ‘foot’ down from her. “Hey, Summer, what’s this girls problem?”

“Jackie here is one of our new hires and she...has an interest in human feet. And she wants to be a sole scrubber like you and your team.” Summer looked up at Natalie who was further examining Jackie. “Natalie is our top scrubber, leads the groups when I’m away on business.”

“So you really think you have what it takes to roll with us? What do you think you have that any other smuck doesn’t?” Natalie’s words hit Jackie but she remained strong, after all, this was the best job she could ever want. And the only one she applied for. “What makes you better than the others who just came here to slow my team down?”

“Look, just train me and I’ll pick it up as fast as I can. Just give me one chance.” Jackie locked eyes with Natalie who was silent as Summer watched them both. “That’s all I’m asking for, just a chance.” Jackie took a gamble as Natalie began to step forward to the shorter girl. Fortunately, Jackie held her ground as she looked at her back with equal intensity.

“Then it’s settled! Jackie, you start training with Natalie….on Tuesday at nine am sharp. She’ll get you all ready for your first customer. Don’t you worry your pretty little head Jacqueline.” Summer turned around, grabbing hold of Jackie’s arm as they headed back into the tube, letting Natalie go back to her team.

“Well that was….interesting.” Jackie said as she closed the door behind her.

“It was wasn’t it? I didn’t think you’d snap at Natalie so furiously but you did and honestly I like it.” Summer then handed Jackie a piece of paper with some writing on it. “Since you start first thing Tuesday, I want you to look over this before then. It’s all the sole scrubbers duties and directives. Natalie is very anal about them so be ready for a test. You might even want to practice these on your girlfriend.” With that, Summer left as Jackie brought out her phone and called Marleigh to come pick her up as she began to read the pages.

“Hey Mar, are you busy right now?” Jackie asked as she put her phone between her shoulder and her cheek.

“No, I’m at the coffee shop next door. Why? Did get the job?!” Marleigh giggled loudly, even Jackie was surprised by this as she pulled the phone away from her ear, still hearing Marleigh’s laughs.

“Marleigh? Are you still there? Please calm down, you’re probably making a scene.” Jackie then heard Marleigh come back to as she heard her calm down.

“I’m sorry girly, I’m just...so proud of you. Oh, I’m literally crying.” Marleigh was proud of her micro girlfriend. She knew being around her feet made the little girl happy so it for her it was an easy idea for the small girl to apply there. “Jackie, now that you work there, think you can give Carissa and I a discount?”

“Mar, I’m not even technically hired yet. I start training on Tuesday with this really tall girl who I think hates me.” Jackie then walked into the micro section of the salon, waved to the lady behind the counter as she left outside the door. “But yeah I can do something for you guys.”

“Oh well, if you’re training on Tuesday, why not get some practice in? When we get home…”

“Yes ma'mm, I’d totally want to. By the way, what are you wearing right now? Like...shoe wise?” Jackie whispered the last part as she exited out the building, trying not to attract too much attention to herself.

“Just some sneakers. Don’t worry too much my little scamp, I’ll make sure to get them all nice and sweaty for you.” Marleigh played along as she exited the cafe, ignoring the strange glaces she got from her fellow customers.

“Marliegh, you know how I like them. Clean and refreshed. But I guess I’m going to have to get used to feet like that I guess.” Jackie then leaned up against the railing, starting feel her nose bleed from the thought of being under Marleigh’s feet that have been trapped in her running shoes. Even if Jackie wanted to only like it when Marleigh washed and cleaned her feet before hand, she couldn’t deny the fact that she relished the idea of being under her massive, sweaty feet. “Although, I can make an exception just for you babe.” Jackie smiled as she saw Marleigh’s shoes come closer to her and then stop directly where she was. “Hey Mar.” Jackie soon hung up the phone as she looked up at the smiling human girl above her.

“Hey little girl, ready to go?”
