Sweet Dreams:

Ally groans as she takes a quick inventory yet again of their overstock, they had just barely gotten more lemon tarts made in time. " Amelia, we need more help. "

" I know, but another cash register has to take priority at the moment. " Amelia says.

" Ally, what do we need? " Jason asks.

" Well, we need more sugar cookies, chocolate no bakes, éclairs, and we need three different flavors of tarts. Blueberry, peach, and cherry. " Ally says.

" I can make the tart dough. " Tobias says.

" I'll work on the blueberry filling first. " Jason says.

Amelia rolls her shoulders, " I'll do the éclairs, I love making éclairs. "

" I guess I'll start on the no bakes then. " Ally says when Percy walks in, he was not looking forward to telling them this.

" Guys, we're completely out of chocolate chip cookies and cupcakes. "

Nico groans and starts on a Red Velvet Cake batter as that particular flavor was the biggest seller. As the kitchen works on churning out more goodies the front is still getting slammed, but thankfully the Overstock was able to help out. Evan was literally having to fly through drink orders and curses when the white chocolate syrup was almost completely gone. He checks for more bottles and groans, Kev, I need more White Chocolate Syrup, okay.

No prob, Ev, I'm still picking up the other stuff that keeps getting added to the list. Sweet Dreams is really getting slammed today, huh?

Yeah, it is. Evan cuts off the conversation as he continues to make drinks while Danette continues to ring out orders even as Percy fills them. This was getting ridiculous. The blueberry tarts have just gotten finished while Ally has just put her cookies down on the wax paper for them to harden up. Then she gets out the huge mixer to make a quintuple batch of chocolate chip cookies. That would be the only way to get ahead of the demand for those. Nico is putting his batter into the muffin trays that Jason had set up for him and putting them in to bake. Then he starts on marble cupcakes, while Jason makes the Butter Cream icing for the Red Velvet Cupcakes, before making the Peach filling for the tarts next.

Camp Half Blood:

Sage sighs as he runs through his drills, with all the guys at Sweet Dreams he had nothing to do except katas and avoiding his half-sister Drew. With another sigh he heads for the back of the Poseidon cabin and teleports to the back door of Sweet Dreams, where Aidan drags him in, " You can at least watch over things in an oven, right? "

" Well, yeah, why? " Sage asks.

" We're slammed and letting Rowen into a kitchen is a disaster just waiting to happen and I really don't need that right now. Besides, he's still working on the financials. We have a lot of stuff to bake and ice. If you could take over getting things in and out of the oven it would be helpful, as we're out of every type of cupcake. Nico has Red Velvet in the oven and is working on Marble right now. " Aidan replies.

Sage familiarizes himself with the set up even as he puts an apron on and casts a quick spell to act as a hairnet, being an Aphrodite child was useful for some things. As Sage races around doing the running work everyone else manages to get the baked good caught up, and Ally makes another quintuple batch of cookies to get into the overstock. He also has to restock the front as well. Sage takes a brief five minutes to rest, " This is great training for stamina and endurance. I don't know how you all do it. "

Ally was at her snack station refueling and then she sticks her head out of the kitchen door, " Bro, can I have one of my cocoa's? "

Evan grimaces, " Sorry, sis, I'm out of White Chocolate Syrup, you'll have to wait until Kev gets back. "

" Gimme a dark chocolate cocoa then, I need to refuel. " Ally says.

Evan nods and sets to work. Dark Chocolate cocoa was Ally's standby drink if she couldn't have her first love. The kitchen is working hard to get ahead of the demand being placed upon them. Though thanks to having Sage working the ovens they were actually making some decent head way now.

Juuban, Crown Arcade:

Motoki is not surprised when Naru and Shingo chow up at the Arcade to get some training in, in the op center. They had to be ready to help out Usagi when the time came. They couldn't 'alp the last time, this time they would be damned before they couldn't help her again. Naru goes through the simulations first, enemies that had already been faced by previous scouts and knights, which made for exceptionally good training.

Elsewhere a man with short blonde hair grins as he manages to win a spar with a man with long platinum blonde hair, " What's the matter, Malcolm, can't handle me? " Jaden, formerly known as Jadeite asks.

Malcolm, formerly known as Malachite sighs, " I'm worried, we have yet to find Nephrite or Zoisite. Plus, we need to find the Solar Prince and give our Allegiance to him. Not to mention that only the Crescent Moon Knight is active. Things are coming to a head fast, my friend. "

Jaden runs a hand through his blonde hair, " I know, I can feel it too. This is all that damn Moon Queen's fault. We can't blame the Hime, as she was doing everything in her power to fix her mother's stupidity. She even tried to save all of us, Nephrite, actually was redeemed, but by Psyche and his love for her. I can't believe that bitch queen made us think we loved those fool Inners. I miss my fiery Nike. "

" What about me, I miss my sweet Dike. " Malcolm says.

" This bites, why did the Moon Queen have to screw us over this way anyhow? " Jaden asks.

" We may never know the full answer to that particular question, Jaden. We still have to find the others. " Malcolm admits, a lot of people, now that the veil of the Queen's spell had been lifted were beginning to wonder why she had done all of this. The full scope of what she had done hadn't even begun to be discovered yet.
