Tags: Greg puts his foot down, The Gems all go get jobs, Pearl's salty, Amethyst's fine with it, Garnet's reasonable, Bismuth's ok, Lapis's smug, and Peridot's all over the place, The world may be peaceful but the economy isn't,
Pearl may have considering her dramatics about quitting Pepe's worth it, but she was still rather humbled when Amethyst ragged on her for this stunt. Pearl listened and apologized actually rather impressed with the purple gem's work ethic. At the moment, Pearl was job-hunting in the paper as Steven came home from school.
"Steven, how was school?" Pearl asked.
"Pretty weird, a video of you attacking some woman's car went on YouTube, it's trending or something. Did you really do that?" Steven asked innocently.
"Uh…here, go some me and you some donuts!" Pearl said suddenly shoving a few bills in his hand shoving him towards the door.
"But I thought you hate eating." Steven said confused.
"I can change my mind!" Pearl said shoving him out.
As Steven merrily went to get donuts, Pearl got out a cigarette to lit up. Taking a drag, she breathed out the smoke looking at Rose's picture.
"The only good thing you've done is die." Pearl said darkly glaring at that picture before her cell phone rang. "Hello, this is Pearl."
"It's Peridot. I heard about your quitting of your job. It was funny to react to for my channel. It got me thinking, I'm doing pretty well on my channel, but I could use a partner. How would you like to join me?" Peridot asked as Pearl put the paper down. "You're trending on the internet and you could put this to work for you! Plus, you have a job that you make your own hours and no more grease."
"I'm sold." Pearl said as Peridot asked her to come over to the barn and bring donuts. "And I'll be right over."
Pearl finished her cigarette and put it out and in the trash. The moment Steven came with the box of donuts, Pearl snatched it and went for the warp pad.
"Steven, I need to take care of something. Taking the donuts! Love you! Bye!" Pearl said giddy before leaving through the warp pad.
"Well, I guess I'll just have to buy more." Steven said with a sigh.
As for Bismuth, she was making plenty of money through building houses, planes, and ships. That was her own thing until the government came to with a job, a big one.
"You want me to build you a spaceship to travel the stars?" Bismuth asked. "Consider it done!"
(A/N: Now I want an AU of Gems being streamers…well that's just dandy.)
