Hey everybody I'm back with another chapter, thanks to all those who have been following this story and all of my other stories. It means a lot that I can make people's day by writing my awesome ideas. Anyway enough of the sappy stuff let's get on with the chapter.
Chapter 6
The next morning Garnet got up early and got ready for work, Sardonyx was sitting at the table eating breakfast while Pearl washed some dishes. Garnet grabbed her thermos and filled it with coffee before grabbing her keys and duffle bag.
"I'm leaving, I'll be back in a little while" Garnet replied.
"Bye Mama! See you later" Sardonyx replied.
"Have a good day" Pearl also exclaimed.
"It'll be like any other day" Garnet answered walking out the door, when she got to the gym she unlocked the door and began cutting all the lights on. After a couple of hours people started coming in for their workouts, while Garnet taught her class self-defense. During her lunch break the guy from the park appeared and pulled her to the side.
"So have you thought about my proposition?" Zack asked.
"I did but what's in it for you?" Garnet asked.
"Oh just like 35% of all your winnings, in exchange I'll sponsor you and provide you will all the equipment" Zack answered.
"Only 35%? Is there a catch behind this?" Garnet asked drinking from her bottle.
"Kind of, you have to keep your fighting a secret from everyone including your family. You'll have a new identity once you begin fighting so no one who finds the place will notice you" Zack explained.
"Why would I keep something like this from my family?" Garnet asked.
"Well I can't risk one of them telling the police on us because the fighting is kind of illegal, there are rules but only a few like you can't kill nobody. Other than that drugs, weapons and other things is allowed there" Zack answered.
"Tell you what, I'll keep it a secret for as long as I can because my wife is very perceptive and can tell when you're hiding something" Garnet explained.
"That's fine by me, if the place does get ratted out on I will be long gone anyway. Once that happens our contract is finished" Zack answered.
"I never signed a contract" Garnet added.
"We'll get into that later, anyway you can go back to work now. I'll be seeing you around here so I can get your fights rearranged" Zack replied leaving.
"He is quite strange, I'll have to pay close attention to him" Garnet replied to herself going back to her training. After work she went home and saw Pearl and Sardonyx dressed casually. "What's going on here?" Garnet asked dropping her bag off.
"Amethyst has invited everyone to karaoke and I told Sardonyx we would all go" Pearl answered.
" Yeah, Mommy told me that you were a really good singer back in school" Sardonyx replied.
"Back in school? I may be a little older than that but I can still keep a beat" Garnet replied.
"Wonderful, me and Sardonyx will wait in the car while you get dressee in some nice clothes. Let's go Sardonyx" Pearl replied walking to the door.
"Yay! Road trip!" Sardonyx yelled running out the door.
"It's not a road trip Sardonyx, honestlly where do you get these things from?" Pearl asked following.
"I'll be out in a minute!" Garnet replied running up the stairs, after putting on a pair of khaki shorts, tennis shoes and a white T-shirt Garnet was out the door and driving everyone to the karaoke building. Once they got there they walked in and found everyone sitting in a big room. Even Opal and Sugilite were there along with Ruby and Sapphire, Rose and Greg were missing but Steven and Connie were looking through a book of songs.
"There you guys are, we were just coming up with a singing order" Amethyst replied.
"Who is singing first?" Pearl asked sitting on the chair.
"We're letting the kids go first then the adults" Peridot answered.
"Me and Steven are first, then it can be Sardonyx" Connie added.
"This should be interesting" Garnet replied sitting down next to Jasper.
"Ready Connie?" Steven asked.
"Right, so our first song is something we actually made up. I brought my violin and Steven bought his ukelele and the song is called 'Jam Buds'" Connie explained as Steven began singing the first part with Connie coming in for the second part. At the end they bowed to the others as they cheered. (You never heard it before then look it up).
"That was great Steven!" Amethyst exclaimed.
"Thanks Amethyst, I wish Mom and Dad were here to see it" Steven replied bashfully.
"I'm recording it so they'll see it Steven" Lapis replied holding up her camera phone.
"Okay it's my turn" Sardonyx replied going through the songs and picking one out, after she put it in the machine the beat began to play. "This song is called 'Haven't You Noticed (I'm a Star)'" Sardonyx replied as she began to sing the song.
"Wow, her voice sounds so good" Jasper replied.
"We want a copy of this Lapis" Pearl exclaimed.
"You got it, I'll start burning CD's tonight" Lapis answered back. After the song was over Sardonyx was congratulated my everyone and then she ran iver to her parents and hugged them both.
"I did good right?" Sardonyx asked.
"You did fabulous Sardonyx!" Pearl answered with a smile.
"We're proud of you kiddo" Garnet replied resting a hand on her hair and ruffling it up.
"Look at it this way, if your magician dream doesn't come true you could become an excellent singer" Amethyst replied.
"If my magician career doesn't work then I'll become either a radio show host or a talk show host" Sardonyx answered.
"You'll be good no matter what you do, and we'll support you 100%" Ruby said with a smile.
"Okay whose next? Peridot and Lapis?" Amethyst asked.
"I'll pass,. I don't sing" Peridot answered.
"I'm recording things so I'll pass as well" Lapis answered as well.
"I have a song" Garnet replied walking onto the stage and going through the book picking out the perfect song, "this goes out to the my lovely wife" she added as she began to sing 'Beautiful Just The Way You Are'.
"Ooooh Pearl! You lucky girl you!" Amethyst and Ruby cheered making Pearl cover her face as Sardonyx hugged her. After the song Garnet stepped off the stage and was nearly tackled by Pearl.
"That was wonderful! Thank you so much" Pearl whispered that last part.
"A wonderful song for a wonderful woman" Garnet chuckled.
"Okay a couple of more songs and then we adults are heading out for a more age appropriate setting" Amethyst replied.
"We have Sardonyx to take home" Pearl added.
"You kids go have fun, we'll watch Sardonyx and make sure she's in bed before you get back" Sapphire replied.
"Just leave it to us, we got your backs" Ruby added in.
"Thank you, you guys are great" Pearl thanked. After a few more songs Steven and Connie went with Rose and Greg while Sardonyx got in the car with Ruby and Sapphire.
"You'll be back right?" Sardonyx asked.
"Of course we will, now be good for your grandmothers and you know what to do to get ready for bed okay? We love you and we'll see either before you go to sleep or in the morning" Pearl explained.
"Don't worry yourself Sardonyx, just go home and spend sometimes with your grandmas okay?" Garnet asked.
"I understand" Sardonyx agreed.
"Don't have too much now you hear? I don't want to come bail one of you out of jail for something" Ruby replied.
"You won't have to" Pearl answered.
"Goodbye you two" Sapphire replied from the passenger side.
"Bye Mommy and Mama" Sardonyx exclaimed as the car drove away.
"That was so touching, anyway let's go you guys or all the good drinks will be gone" Amethyst urged from behind them along with everyone else.
"Do you know where we're going Amethyst?" Garnet asked.
"A new nightclub just opened up a little ways away from here but I hear it's really cool" Amethyst answered.
"A new nightclub? About time if you ask me, I needed some new hunting grounds" Jasper smirked.
"Me and Sugilite are heading back to the hotel, we'll see you guys tomorrow probably" Opal replied.
"Okay, thanks for coming out Opal" Pearl answered.
"Anything for you baby sister" Opal replied with a smile and she and Sugilite walked off.
"I'm not a baby" Pearl mumbled.
"Let's go everyone, the night is still young and so are we" Jasper replied enthusiastically as everyone went to their cars and began driving towards the club. Once inside they could see that the place was huge, it had a huge dance floor that was already crowded, a really nice dj area, a long bar with a back wall of all kinds of drinks from almost every country and it had two upper floors that was back rooms and sitting areas.
"How do you hide something like this from the public?" Peridot asked.
"This building was already here, they just bought it and brought all the new stuff in" Amethyst answered, "anyway here is the plan, everyone spread out and explore and we'll meet up here once everyone is ready to go got it?" She asked.
"Well done taking charge Amethyst, never knew you to be the rule type" Lapis replied.
"I didn't set any rules, I just said explore and then meet back here. Whatever you do in your time is your business not mine" Amethyst replied back. Well I know exactly where I'm going, see you guys later" Jasper exclaimed walking towards a table of what seemed to be college girls.
"10 dollars says she come back with two on her arms" Amethyst challenged.
"I'll take that bet, 10 dollars says she gets only one" Lapis replied.
"I say she comes back with all of them, she's already laughing and sitting in the middle of all of them" Peridot examined.
"She's fast but I'm faster, if I'm not back in 15 minutes then you know everything went good" Amethyst replied walking away.
"Let's go dance Peridot" Lapis replied pulling on her arm.
"Okay just stop pulling before you pull my prosthetics off" Peridot agreed as she followed Lapis to the dancefloor.
"Guess that leaves us" Garnet replied.
"Let's go find a table and order something to drink" Pearl offered as she walked around looking for a empty table with Garnet following close behind. Once they found one they sat down at it and ordered drinks, Garnet had gotten a Bloody Mary while Pearl had gotten a Lime Margarita. "So I never really asked but how was work today?" Parl asked.
"Good, some guy came up to me asking about my kickboxing career in the past. Probably wants me to do like some charity fight or something" Garnet answered.
"That doesn't sound too bad, it's for a good cause anyway but as long as you don't get too hurt I'm fine with it" Pearl replied.
"Thought you wanted me to stop kickboxing" Garnet exclaimed.
"I did but that was when you started to really get hurt, but I know now you can really handle yourself in the ring and out so I think you should do it" Pealr answered.
"I think I will, thanks for being supportive of this" Garnet agreed.
"Of course, I would never stop you from going back to what you love to do" PEarl replied.
"That's why I love you" Garnet smiled kissing her cheek.
"I love you too" PEarl replied back.
Okay, this was a pretty long chapter but I thought it was cute and all. Also I don't own the songs but I think I picked the right songs for everyone so leave a reply and tell me how it's going so far I really appreciate it. Anyway see you guys later.
