Chapter 18: It's a Good Day to Pie
It was breakfast however Steven was staring at Erza's face. After all her gemstone was in place of her right eye.
"Is your eye okay?" asked Steven.
"It's fine." Said Erza, "I can't even tell the difference between this and my old one."
"So there's no red tint to everything?" asked Lisanna.
"No it's fine." Said Erza.
"That's good." Said Steven, "Thought you couldn't see out of it… I mean it's really creepy it replaced your eye."
"Actually," sighed Erza, "I lost my real eye years ago, the one it replaced was a magical replacement."
"Oh okay…" said Steven.
"So how did you lose the eye, fighting a monster or something?" asked Amethyst.
"I don't want to talk about it." Said Erza.
That was when Steven's phone began to ring.
"Hello?" asked Steven, "Oh sure she's here."
He looked at Mirajane and handed the phone.
"Mira it's for you." Said Steven, "its Kofi."
"Oh hi…" said Mirajane, "An argument this morning… I'm free today… okay. I'll be there."
She hung up the phone and handed it back to Steven.
"What was that about?" asked Erza.
"Oh I have a job." Said Mirajane, "I fill in for Jenny whenever she decides to skip work."
"Yeah, because someone still hasn't cashed in that gold yet." Said Amethyst.
"You don't even live with us." said Nami, "Why are you complaining?"
"Someone has to complain." Said Amethyst with a shrug.
Nami rolled her eyes.
"Are sure that's a good idea to go today?" asked Sakura.
"It's fine, I reached both Erza and Lisanna. So my job is done." Said Mirajane.
"Besides you haven't seen how she makes the pizza place so popular." Said Steven.
Mirajane blushed.
"So what time do you have get ready?" asked Lisanna.
"Don't have to be there for a couple hours." Said Mirajane.
"Well it sounds like it's going to be a boring day." Said Amethyst.
"The day hasn't even gotten started yet." Said Steven.
"Still say it's going to be boring." Said Amethyst.
A few hours later, the cool kids were heading to the pizza place, it turned out Jenny had less cash than she thought she had so she went to talk to her dad.
That was when they saw the line to get in.
"Whoa… since when has this place been this popular?" asked Sour Cream.
"Oh you haven't heard." Said Buck, "I heard about this a while ago."
"Heard about what?" asked Jenny who was very confused.
She tried to get in when the line started yelling.
"Hey! No cutting!" yelled one of them.
"Wait! Her dad owns the place! Let he in!" yelled Lars who was in line.
"Fine… if she's not going to eat." Said the person at the front of the line.
They went into the restraint to find every table was full.
That was when Mirajane came with the pizza (of course in full human form) she placed it on a table.
"Here's your pizza boys." Said Mirajane.
"Thanks Mira!" said one of them.
"Please go on a date me!" said one of the others one.
"Oh come on I'm sure there's other girls around." Said Mirajane.
The boys at the table laughed.
"Check please!" called out someone from the other table.
"All right!" said Mirajane.
"When did you get a new waitress?" asked sour Cream.
"Don't ask me… I never met her." Said Jenny.
They walked over to the cashier.
"So Kiki…" sad Jenny.
"That's Mirajane." Said Kiki, "Dad hires her whenever you don't want to work."
"What? Seriously?" asked Jenny, "Since when?"
"Since a couple weeks ago." Said Kiki.
That was when Kofi showed.
"You want money?" asked Kofi.
Jenny nodded.
He handed a few 20s.
"There now leave…" said Kofi going back to the kitchen.
"Where did she come form?" asked Jenny.
"Oh she's one of those new Crystal Gems.
said Kiki.
"I see…" said Jenny.
She glared at Mirajane who laughed at one of the jokes of the customers.
The three then left.
"So what do you want to do now?" asked Sour Cream.
"We're going to Steven's house." Said Jenny.
You're celery jealous of her, maybe you should calm down." said Buck.
"I'm not jealous!" yelled Jenny.
"Yes you are." Said Sour Cream.
"I mean sure, she gets a long line or people but I'm jealous. What does she have that I don't 'have?" asked Jenny.
"She's really pretty." Said someone in line.
"She's nice to customers." Said another person in line.
Jenny stared at the people in line.
"Come on.' She said.
"Where are we going?" asked Sour Cream.
"To Steven's house to see what her deal is." Said Jenny.
"No good can come of this." Said Buck.
"Yeah." Said Sour Cream.
They got to the beach house they saw the Forest Fairy Tail.
And immediately saw Ronaldo trying to break into it.
"Hey! Hey!" yelled Nami coming out with the broom.
"Not again!" yelled Ronaldo running away form her.
That was when Nami noticed him.
"Uh… Kiki?" asked Nami, "Did you change your hair."
"I'm Jenny…" muttered Jenny.
"Oh right, identical twins." Said Nami.
"She's jealous of the new girl." Said Sour Cream.
"I see." Said Nami, "And you want to know her deal… fine… whatever."
"Seriously?" asked Sour Cream.
"You're just going to let us into your house?" asked Buck.
"Actually we live in there." Said Nami pointing to the forest Fairy, "But we hang out in Steven's place…"
Nami lead them to Steven's place.
Steven, Lisanna, Garnet, Sakura and Lapis were all playing Kitchen Calamity. Erza was looking through a fashion magazine, Robin was reading a book, Amethyst was watching TV while Pearl got Hinata to help her clean.
"You have uncovered the secret to imitation crab meat." Read Lisanna.
"That means you get another turn." Said Steven.
That was when they noticed the Cool Kids.
"Hey guys! What are you doing here?" asked Steven.
"She's jealous of Mirajane and dragged these along." Said Nami.
"No I didn't." denied Jenny.
"It's all right, I mean we've all been there." Said Sakura.
Lapis stared at Sakura confused.
"Wait I just realized something if you guys are alien how did she get a job." Said Sour Cream, "I mean what's the pit of earth money."
"We eat…" said Hinata.
"And we need them money for new beds and other things." Said Erza.
"Also Nami refuses to sell some coins she has." Said Amethyst.
"We've already talked about it today… you don't live with us…" said Nami.
"Why haven't you sold the coins? Said Lapis who did live in the Forest Fairy and did have a right to complain.
"Fine you want to know the real reason why I won't sell the gold?" asked Nami.
"Besides the fact you want it all for yourself?" asked Robin.
Nami walked over to the TV, grabbed the remote form Amethyst and turned it onto a certain channel.
It cut to a reality show set in a pawnshop.
"Now that I know the price, I think I want to bump it up for 20,000." Said the person.
"Look I have to make money on it too." Said the storeowner.
"Hey isn't that filmed at the pawn shop in town?" asked Steven.
"All the time, it's all this channel shows." Said Nami, "And it's a channel meant to be about history!"
"Well actually they do talk about the significant historic value of all of the items…" pointed out Robin.
Everyone in the room stared at Robin.
"None of your ever noticed that?" asked Robin.
"We're not history buffs like you are." Said Amethyst.
"I have a degree…" said Robin, "I'm hardly a buff."
"We're getting off track." Said Jenny.
"People like Mira more because she's nice and pretty." Said Nami, "End of story…"
"Calm talk to her… you'll probably see that it' no big deal…" said Lisanna.
"You kind of look like her…" said Buck.
"I'm her younger sister." Said Lisanna.
"Wait I'm confused… I thought Steven said something about his mom…" said Buck.
"It's complicated." Interrupted Steven, "Very, very complicated."
"But yeah, just go talk to her." Said Sakura, "Get it over with and if you don't like her steam in anger…"
"Fine…" muttered Jenny leaving.
However Buck and Sour Cream remained.
"So how many of you are there now?" asked Buck.
"Counting Steven, 12… but it will grow soon…" said Lapis.
"Didn't you once steal the ocean?" asked Sour Cream.
"She's good now." Said Steven.
Both of them nodded.
Jenny made her way to back the Pizza place.
"Hey Jenny!" said Lars who was now in the front of the line.
"You still in line?" asked Jenny.
"It's packed." Muttered Lars, "And there's only so many seats.
Jenny shrugged and went into the pizza place. However she realized something quickly.
"How am I supposed to talk to her?" asked Jenny.
"I have an idea." Said Kiki.
The next day the pizza place was empty, Jenny was bored.
"Oh hello Jenny." Said Mirajane showing up.
"Oh yeah you're the new girl." Said Jenny.
Mirajane nodded.
"I heard you're jealous." Said Mirajane.
"I am not!" yelled Jenny.
"Oh yes you are." Said Kofi from the back.
"This conversation doesn't concern you!" yelled Jenny.
"I only pick up when you don't work." Said Mirajane.
"Can you just quit?" asked Jenny.
"I can't, we really need the money." Said Mirajane, "Nami still refuses to sell the coins and Erza doesn't have any furniture yet…"
"Why doesn't she have any furniture?" asked Jenny.
"She only joined a couple days ago." Said Mirajane, "Plus there's two more that might join us soon and they'll need furniture…"
Jenny was quiet… then realized something else.
Can you at least get people to stop lining up?" asked Jenny.
"About that." Said Mirajane, "Can I barrow your phone."
Jenny shrugged and gave her phone. Mirajane showed her a blog called "Mira Watch."
"There's a blog about it?" asked Jenny.
"Something about how that's what the Internet does… Steven was the one that said it." Said Mirajane.
"Yeah…" said Jenny.
"Look I'm sorry I upset you" said Mirajane, "If it helps I only do it every once in a while… and only if I'm free…"
"Yeah…" pouted Jenny.
"I think I should get 'going…" said Mirajane, "I need to pick up some doughnuts for Steven and Hinata…"
Mirajane left, Jenny watched her leave.
"You better not be plotting to figure out a way to get rid of her! I'm not firing her any time soon." Called out Kofi form the kitchen.
"Seriously!" yelled Jenny.
Sometime later Mirajane came back with the doughnuts (Well doughnuts and cinnamon bun)
"So how did it go?" asked Steven.
"I don't think I was able to convince her of anything." Said Mirajane.
Really?" asked Steven.
"Don't worry it's fine, I got a lot of money form tips yesterday so we're going to be fine for a while." Said Mirajane, "And I don't think she'll able to try get me fired since I do such a good job… so it's fine…"
An awkward silence filled the room.
"Well that was pointless…" muttered Amethyst.
"It could have been worse." Said Lapis, "We could have switched bodies again."
"What?" asked Sakura as this was news to her.
"Seriously?" Erza asked Mirajane who just laughed.
And so… wait… never mind Amethyst was right… that was kind of pointless… Jenny didn't' get over her jealously…
But Lapis was right… it would have been worse… But who knows about the future…
