Pearl came home pissed at her workday and that she was already out of cigarettes. She glared at Amethyst was lazing around on the couch eating donuts.
"I hope you choke." Pearl thought darkly.
Garnet was still at home reading through the paper to decide on a job to go after. She did not want to impede on Amethyst's wrestling career. Garnet looked over at the glaring Pearl who took off her uniform before going to take a shower mumbling foul words about her job. Steven stayed quiet just doing his homework. Pearl come out with a towel around her body before asking Garnet if she found a job yet.
"Nope, still looking. How was work?" Garnet asked not even looking.
"Don't you have future vision? You already know the answer!" Pearl snapped going into her room.
"You could use that talent to go to a casino." Amethyst suggested.
"I know, but I don't want to rely on a rather unstable income all of the time." Garnet said before Steven perked up.
"You know, Dr. Maheswaran, was talking about the lack of security in the hospital she works at." Steven suggested. "Try there."
"Worth a shot." Garnet said tossing the paper aside about to go out the door. "Wait, I hope I'm not interrupting…but."
"I'll let Lion." Steven said peeling away from his work.
A warp and a skip later, Garnet was at the hospital. Normally, the people there asked for qualifications involving police work. But after Garnet proceeded to demonstrate that she could bench several cars, they hired her. Who'd be stupid enough to mess with Garnet?
"So, you're our new guard? Congrats." Priyanka said shaking Garnet's hand. "If you need anything, don't hesitance to ask."
"No problem at all." Garnet said adjusting her new uniform.
(A/N: Garnet's job was easiest to fill, plus more Priyanka is a joy to have. It's slow goings for this collection being that SU is just a pain to write given I have to fix so many, many holes thanks to canon. I'm not bothering to acknowledge Future too much at this point as it'll drive me to drink.)
