Ness slept on the floor the following night. The bed was on Jeff's side, so it was only fair that he got it.
Paula slept on the couch.
The next morning, The forgotten three sat down at the newly built Fourside diner, formerly Boris Cocktail.
They ordered their food, and a few minutes later, Ness had a question.
"Wasn't the Sky Runner destroyed in Summers?" He asked.
"I rebuilt it. I had to do something these last years. Well, you know, that wasn't school." Replied Jeff.
"Yeah. You never did learn how to actually fly that thing. You destroyed it, again." Said Ness.
"I knew I shouldn't of used a power glove for the steering wheel..."
"Hey, look! The food's already done." Said Paula
Sure enough, the food was done, in less than five minutes.
"That's weird. How do you think they did that so fast?" Asked Jeff.
"I have no idea. It isn't frozen either..." Said Paula.
"It looks good. Let's just eat." Said Ness.
Ness ordered Steak and eggs, and it was actually really good. They did everything the right way. Same for Jeff and Paula's meals. They got waffles.
"Maybe they have monkeys back there cooking the food." Suggested Paula.
"Maybe." Replied Jeff.
Meanwhile, in the Kitchen...
"We got a order of pancakes!" Yelled the waiter.
"I Chef Saturn! Cooking! Zoom!"
Back at the table...
After paying the check, Ness realized a important detail.
None of the three had jobs.
"Well, enough of that," Ness began to say. "We need to get jobs."
"Oh, well," Jeff started to reply, "Where to get a job? There are so many places!" Jeff then nudged Paula.
She got the message.
"Yeah, Jeff, you're right! It'll take at least the rest of the day to pick somewhere to work!" Replied Paula.
"We're working at the department store." Retorted Ness, as he then dragged the two there.
"It's like I'm dragging around preschoolers..." Thought Ness.
They went to the forth floor of the department store to talk to the boss to ask for any openings for jobs.
"So...are there any openings?" Asked Ness after explaining the situation.
"Wait. So the last job you three had was saving the world by killing an alien?" He asked.
"Precisely."
"Wait. You were the other three that Poo led to save the world?"mm
"Actually I led hi-"
"You three are hired!"
The three were left speechless, knowing the story had been told wrong at one point.
At that moment, music started to play out of nowhere.
"Where is that coming from?" Asked Paula.
"I've heard it before..." Said Jeff.
Ness realized what was happening. He could only say one thing.
"Shit."
Suddenly, a bearded man with a camera came crashing down from the sky, leaving a hole in the ceiling. As he touched the floor, a ding of a bell was heard. Then more music started playing.
"Pictures taken instantaneously!" Said The Camera Man. "I'm a photographic genius, if I say so myself!"
"The hell!? I thought you were run over by a car!" Yelled Ness.
The Camera Man was still talking when Ness was yelling.
"...say 'Fuzzy Pickles!' "
A flash of light came from the camera and the picture was made. The Camera man then said the picture would bring back memories, before flying away.
"Psychopath." Muttered Ness. He then focused his attention to the boss. "So, where are we working? This place is four stories."
"Well, let me show you Nuss!" Replied the boss.
"My name's Ness."
"Ok...'Ness.' "
Meanwhile, in Dalaam...
"Poo! I want your baby!" Screamed a fan.
"Please, one at a time." Said Poo, as he signed a book, written by himself.
Life was lively for Poo. Nowadays, he wore a black tux, even though it wasn't custom in his land.
WASN'T. Because of him, it is custom in his land.
Life was good for him.
He wondered if his old friends were having a good life too.
Well...
