Okay, so I've been busy lately. Good news is I got my truck back. She handles SO much better now. Gas mileage is a lot better. I'm happy with it. Also temperature is finally going up here! I was outside in short shorts and a tank top the other day, it felt fantastic. It got up to 36 degrees.
I'm planning a nice vacation for myself in the summer. But it depends on if I get my motorcycle fixed. If I can get it fixed, I'm gonna spend some time refamiliarizing myself with it. And then I'm going to take a small road trip on it.
Thats the one downside about moving to Alaska, I don't think I'll have much use for a motorcycle out there, but instead I'm going to get myself a boat.
Of course, that will only happen after I get established out there.
Can't get too ahead of myself now can I?
Anyways, this is the last small chapter I plan to write, after this I want to at least get back to 2000 words per chapter.
"Man, can't believe this trip is already over." Jem said as he was driving back home.
Winter was in the passenger seat this time. She smirked in victory. Zeus and Kirby were currently in the backseat laying on top of Blake, who was not pleased about the dog on her lap. Winter remembered how last time all Zeus had to do was bark and he got shotgun, this time she made sure to call it before Zeus had a chance to bark. It might have been silly that she had to compete with a dog, but never underestimate how much a man loved his dog.
And cherry on top, Elm was in the shitbox van with Glynda and the rest of the Ace ops. So she had time to be closer to Jem. That being said, he was bummed out about the fact that their trip was over. Course there was another issue they had.
"Glynda and all of them need a place to stay until its time to go home, and they're not staying in my motorhome." Jem said as there wasn't any room in his motorhome or in his parents house.
"I'm sure we can find a way to make some room." Winter said as the ace ops still had some time before they left Earth.
"Yeah, but this just keeps getting weirder and weirder. First you guys show up, and now the Ace ops and Glynda, seriously the only thing that would be weirder is if Salem shows up." Jem froze for a second.
"AND THAT IS NOT HAPPENING!" Jem said as he looked up at the sky.
"...What are you doing?" Winter asked as she had no idea why he just yelled at the sky.
"Nothing, just starting to think my life is one long drawn out parody story, and making sure whoever is in charge of it didn't get any funny ideas." He said as he wanted to cover his bases.
"Sounds a bit paranoid."
"You're going to say that when I literally have anime characters living with me right now?" He said as Winter thought it over.
"Okay, so you may have a point, but its still weird."
They pulled into Jems driveway and the Ace ops piled out of the shitbox van just glad they were no longer in that death machine.
"I swear to god, I thought the wheels were going to fly off any second." Harriet said as she was glad to be out in the open.
"Ugh, I just wish the seats were more comfortable." Elm said as Clover popped out.
"I don't know what you guys are talking about, I slept great." He said as his team glared at him.
Good fortune as a semblance was bullshit when it came to minor things in life. If the other members of his team didn't know about how skilled he was, they would be guessing the only reason he was team leader was because he was lucky. That wasn't the case, but it wouldn't surprise them.
"Man, I wish I had good luck for a semblance." Jem said as he went to go talk to Clover.
"Hey man, you want to come with me really quick? I need to go to the gas station." He said as Clover looked confused.
"Uh yeah sure, but didn't you get gas on the way ho-" He was cut off as Jem threw him into his truck and they drove off.
"...What is he doing?" Harriet asked as she still didn't trust Jem.
"I don't know..." Winter said as she didn't know why he was acting like that.
Two hours later
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAHA" Jem was laughing his ass off as he came back with a shit ton of money from the lotto office.
"...What is going on?" Winter asked as Jem was giddy as a schoolgirl.
"He literally had me stand right by him as he bought ten scratch off cards." Clover said as Jem was doing a happy dance.
"I won 100,000!" He said as he was getting ready to go and cash them.
"...Ten scratch off cards and you only won that much?" Winter asked as that seemed odd.
"I only got the ones that go up to 10,000 each, next time, I'll go for the big winners." He said as he was smelling an opportunity here.
"Weren't they confused the same guy was coming in to cash that many? It would look like you rigged the lottery."
"I mean it would look suspicious but Clover here was great at charming them." He said as Clover looked away.
"I feel like a whore..." He said as he didn't appreciate being used like this.
"Don't worry, heres your cut." He said as he gave Winter a small bit.
"What am I supposed to do with this? I'm going back to Remnant soon." Earth money would be useless.
"Simple, you guys needed a place to say, that money should cover a nice Airbnb until you leave." He said as everyone looked at Jem.
"Wait, did you literally rig the lottery just so we would have a place to stay?" Elm said as that was kind of sweet.
"First off, I didn't rig anything, secondly, in reality I really did do it for the money, but this was a nice bonus." He said as he hugged Clover.
"You are going to make me so much money." He said as Clover didn't feel comfortable.
"Okay why do I get the feeling this is a pimp and a hoe thing? I don't like this." Clover said as Elm and Winter were struggling not to laugh.
"Now you go and have fun, we're going to hit up the big money winners next week Clover, Daddy needs new truck tires." He said as Clover just hung his head down.
"Jem...Don't you think you're acting weird?" Winter asked as she walked up to him.
"Hey, I didn't ask you guys for rent now did I? This is a great way of paying me back." He said with a smile as he walked away.
"Where are you going?"
"I'm gonna go buy a new gun! I always wanted to get a Winchester 1897!" He said as he was heading to the gun store.
"...Americans." Winter rolled her eyes.
