Chapter 11
Since it was only a week away from John's new upcoming issue, Jade wanted to call Rose to see if she can interview Zekara, Gamzee's company, for a week. She picks up her cellphone and calls Rose. After a few rings someone picked up the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hey Rose! Um can I ask you something?" Jade asked.
"You can ask me anything" Rose told her.
"Well a month ago I lost a lot of data on my PDA for John's upcoming issue, and I was just wondering if I can go interview the people who work at Zekara for about a few days" Jade explained.
Rose thought about it for a moment, which made Jade nervous. She knew that Rose was still testing her to see if she actually thinks fashion is art (which she did).
"Sure, why not? You've been working so hard for me so this might be a big break to you" Rose laughed.
Jade didn't know what to say to Rose. Rose may be tough on the outside, but inside she's a big softy. Jade couldn't thank her enough.
"Thank you so much Rose!" Jade yelled happily into the phone.
"I have to go now though. I have a meeting with some of my co-workers for an upcoming project" Rose told Jade.
"Okay Rose! I'll see you later then!" Jade smiled.
"Haha, same to you" Rose giggled.
They both said their goodbyes and hung up. Jade puts her phone down and does some stretching exercise. Her conversation with Rose really made her morning. She goes in bathroom and takes a relaxing shower. After the shower, she goes to her kitchen and makes some food.
"It's been so long since I've cooked" Jade giggled.
Jade made her breakfast simple. She grabbed some ingredients such as flour, eggs, sugar, and some cinnamon. She puts them in a bowl step by step, carefully mixing the ingredients until she made some dough. She then grabs a pan and heats it up. She puts some butter on the pan so it can be lubricant. She then puts one piece of dough shaped as a circle on one side and one on the other. During the process she flips the dough until they are golden brown. She then puts them onto a plate and puts more butter and top. The last step was the syrup as she pours it all over he pancakes.
"Hmmm! It smells so good!" Jade smells the wonderful aroma that was coming from the pancakes.
She then sits down and starts eating it like there was no tomorrow. She made sure she didn't make her face dirty, since she already took a shower. After she was done eating, she puts the dirty dish on the sink and dresses up to go to Gamzee's fashion industry. She puts her hair up in a blue bow and wears light blue jeans with a long black sleeve shirt with a sleeveless blue jacket. She then grabs her bag and leaves her apartment. Jade takes the taxi and tries to remember where the building was located. It was only a few blocks away from John's company so it must be in a place that stands out a lot. As the car was moving she spots a building. It was really colorful indeed and there was the logo "Zekara" on top of the building. She tells the taxi driver to go to that building. Before leaving the car, she tips the driver as a sign of courtesy.
He then smiles and says, "Thanks Mam for tipping me", and then drove away.
Jade smiles and walk on the pathway that leads to the building. It was sort of different than Karkat's building. The atmosphere was more happy than professional, which Jade more comfortable. She then enters inside and sees what she didn't expect so much. Everyone was wearing such colorful clothing that it frightened her. She hasn't seen so much colors in her life, heck even the walls were in different colors.
"Maybe this is how Zekara shows their uniqueness" Jade giggled.
She then walks around the building out of curiosity and then goes up to the information desk that was in front.
"Excuse me Miss, is Mr. Makara free right now?" Jade asked politely.
The lady looks at her, "Yes Mam, he's always free, in fact, he loves all the visitors he gets most of the time".
"Oh, that's good" Jade kept a straight face.
"He's on the top floor, office number 1, I'm going to give him a call to let him know he has a visitor" the lady kindly told her.
Jade smiles, "Thank you so much mam!".
Jade quickly goes up the elevator and waits for it to be the top floor. It's funny how the last floor was number thirteen, but it didn't bother he so much since she didn't really believe at these kinds of superstitions people make up. The elevator reaches the top floor and she gets out. She was actually kind of nervous. Gamzee might not turn out like what he sounds like (like how she thought of Karkat). Nevertheless, she looks for his office. She finally finds it after a few turns, the whole place is like a colorful maze.
"It's like a clown threw up colorful crap on the walls" Jade laughs.
She knocks on the door, before she enters in. She hears a small noise inside and enters in quietly and politely. The office looked really vibrant and eye-catching. There were paint splatters on the wall (the office was fairly big too) and a bunch of framed pictures of designs on the walls too. She looks around and then looks at the desk, which the chair was turned around the other way.
"Mr. Makara?" Jade asks.
She came closer to his desk and in a fast speed Gamzee turns his chair around. It was so fast that it made Jade jumped. Gamzee laughed at the amusement. Gamzee was wearing yet another bright purple tux and this time his shirt was bright neon pink in the inside. His tie was blue with black sparkles and he was wearing a bright purple top hat with a black bow on the side. And to top it all off he had some sort of weird make-up on.
Jade laughs at how he's look, "Mr. Makara you look so bright! Its making me laugh so hard, I'm sorry if this is rude to you.
He got up from his chair and grabs his cane and strutted to Jade, "Ohhh nooo! It's not rude at all! I find it as a compliment when people smile at me when they see me!".
"Oh do they? Well you are so eye-catching! It also has a happy atmosphere ring to it to!" Jade kept on laughing.
"Hehe! Keep on laughing Miss! It's good for the heart!" he puts his arm around her shoulder and swings his cane around.
"Flamboyant much?" Jade teased.
"Nuh uh! I find that as a really good compliment!" he moves his hips.
"PFT PWUAHAHAHAHA!" Jade laughed out loud.
Gamzee starts laughing with her, since her laugh was so contagious. She was different. Most visitors who come here most of the time are always so serious and they never laugh with him. It was nice for a change to see someone laughing with such a fun laugh. After a few laughs it was down to business. Jade told Gamzee that she is a journalist and she wants to interview some of his workers for his company and review the company itself for the new upcoming issue for Inter Species Fashionz. Gamzee accepts the offer from her and she begins interviewing Gamzee himself (while sitting down of course). She learns that Gamzee just wanted to start this fashion industry because of an old friend from high-school. They both competed and even went to the same college and begin their own fashion companies. Gamzee also tells her that he always loved vibrant things (especially the color purple). He wanted to apply that into fashion and it came became successful. He then got a company of his own and hired workers to work for him and some even had their own line of fashion, which makes the company more popular.
"Do you think fashion is an art?" Jade asks him.
"I don't think, I KNOW it is, otherwise I wouldn't own a fashion company in the first place" he laughs.
She then laughs, "You sound like a friend of mine".
"Ooooohhhhhhh I do?" he makes a funny face (A/N Just imagine a really derpish face on Gamzee).
"PFFT PWUAHAHAHA!" Jade bursts into laughter.
Gamzee also did too but then he hears a knock from the office. The troll came in and it turns out to be Sollux.
"Jade?"
"Sollux?"
"You two know each other?" Gamzee asks with a smile.
"Oh yeah! I forgot he also works here!", Jade thought, "this is kind of awkward".
"I'm just interviewing your company and some of the workers" Jade told him.
"Ah I see" Sollux replies.
And then they heard another knock on the door. It turns out to be a troll sitting in a wheelchair.
"JADE?"
"TAVROS?"
"Tavros?"
"SOLLUX YOU KNOW TAVROS?"
"Sollux you knew Jade?"
"I'm so confused" Sollux whined.
"GAMZEE!" Gamzee shouted.
Tavros and Sollux looks at him weirdly, while Jade just starts laughing.
"What? I started to get lonely so I said my name!" Gamzee laughed while twirling around his cane.
After a whole explanation the group begin to understand the situation better.
"And that's how I met Tavros!" Jade exclaimed.
"Yeah.." he was twirling his fingers.
"How did you meet Sollux?" Gamzee asks.
Jade didn't want to say anything so Sollux steps in, "I met her when I was out eating dinner. I took her home because her date ditched her".
Gamzee comes up to Jade and hugs her, "POOR GIRL! Who would leave you?".
Jade nervously laughs, "Heheh yeah".
When the day was almost over Jade was walking alongside with Tavros and Sollux. They were going to drop Jade off at home since she was done interviewing Gamzee for the day.
"Gamzee is so entertaining" she giggles.
"He's too vibrant" Sollux sighs.
"Aw come on Sol, he ain't that bad, I think" Tavros nervously replies.
They arrive at a neighborhood park. It wasn't that small or big, but all they knew that it was near Sollux's car,
"I'll be right back, I'm going to get us some drinks" Sollux told them.
"Okay!" Jade told him.
They both watch Sollux walk away and then took a glance at each other. Tavros ended up looking away from Jade.
"She's so pretty!", he thought, "she's making me nervous".
"Hey Tavros" Jade quietly asks.
"YES!" he jumps.
"OH! I didn't mean to scare you!" Jade apologizes.
"No, um I didn't mean that" he scratches his head.
"Well, Tavros.. I'm sorry if I asked something personal, but what happen?" Jade shyly asks.
"What happen?" Tavros tilted his head.
"Your legs.. Last time I saw you, your legs were up and fine, what happen in this past month and a half?" Jade asks.
"Oh! It's no big deal, I guess. I got into an accident since I was playing a game with my friend and I ended up getting paralyze, oopsies" he nervously laugh.
Jade began to tear up and hugs Tavros, "You are so positive! I like that about you, no matter how awkward you are!".
Tavros blushed and didn't know what to do so he just didn't hug her back.
"I bought you guys some drinks" Sollux told them.
Jade quickly lets go of Tavros and looks away ad Tavros looks away as as well. Sollux just appears out of nowhere, it's kind of scary, but it was also a good quality. They drank their drinks and head towards Sollux's car. Jade's house wasn't so far from their workplace so it was basically a quick ride. Tavros quickly fell asleep in the car, since he barely gets any rest (he works too hard for Gamzee). Sollux and Jade just ends up talking instead.
"So you found out about Tavros?" he asks Jade.
"Yeah.. I wish he could have been more careful" Jade sounded concern.
"I agree, I was the one who had to drive him to the hospital. I forget what game he was playing with Vriska" Sollux told Jade.
"Vriska?"
"She's one of our co-workers, Tavros and her were really close friends in high-school" Sollux explains.
"Ohh I see" Jade responded.
They soon reach Jade's house and Jade bows down to Sollux once again.
"What have I told you before? No need to bow down to me, I'm a friend" Sollux smiles.
"Sorry force of habit!" Jade giggles.
"Well I have to go now or else Gamzee will bite out heads off" Sollux sighs.
"Haha! That guy is too funny!" Jade laughs at the thought of Gamzee.
As Sollux begins to drive away Jade screamed something.
"Sollux! I love how you wear black! It makes you stand out! It's something different from Gamzee's company, so I love your style!" she screamed.
In the distance Sollux hears her compliment and smiles to himself.
A/N
How was that chapter? :D I love how I made Gamzee in this chapter, seriously I find him as an entertaining character. I made him too sane though, so I'm going to make him a bit more crazy. Tavros and Sollux are just too sweet. More to be reveal in the next chapter! :D
