The Last Normal Years

Keeping Active

Bloom's Pov
I had come upon Sunset Manor Diner thanked Ace and said I'd call him to escort me back when my job was over. He agreed to my terms as a good lad and friend. I went back to my five tasks. She cleaned the raven knocker's beak with her dust cloth went into the quiet lodge. Picked up the bat from in the corner behind the customer service desk began picking up every rug that could be held and carried them to the door and began beating the dust from them with the bat once again. As last time it took thirty minutes to do all 7 rugs in each hall of every color. She gathered the lettuce leaves and fruit basket deliveries from the orchard swept the floors that could be swept with a broom.
"Ho, so you are the Earthling girl my sister told me applied to our cleaning duties?"
"It's the only thing I excel at besides art and research or reading." sighed Bloom.
"A pretty girl just like you doesn't belong here scrubbing floors. The name's Jonathan, Miss Peters."
"You think I'm pretty?! Not a single Sophomore Specialist from Red Fountain has said that. People believe that redheads which I am definitely not my hair is bright tangelo orange, but many people on Earth are colorblind with red and orange hair and keep calling people like me ginger when the name ginger leans more to browns than oranges or reds. Bottom line though on common misconceptions is that all so call "'red haired girls'"fall into two separate categories too naive or too much of a Smart Alec. Of which I don't think I'm ever neither. Examples: The Little Mermaid-Princess Arielle, and the other spectrum Dr. Temperance Bones from Bones. The only crime show I dare watch because it is more realistic than most and less dramatic. I love being a good example to girls with red hair because while my hair isn't natural red I will not make fun of them. Many of my fellow students claimed I dyed my hair, I can't get rid of this color not even bleach worked, Johnathan. I was bullied for days because of my hair."
She looked away from his bright jade eyes that were sparkling with interest of her backstory and when back to scrubbing the tile floors under the last booth with the scrub brush right away. The owner of the place had curly blonde hair, burnt black skin who she just met.

"How did you get those marks?" asked Bloom.
"Lightning strike after getting soaked by rain, impossible isn't it?"

"No, there is one case on Earth where a man after getting wet by rain got struck by lightning and survived it too leaving the exact same spiral cuts on their body just like yours, Sir."

"Jingles when this young lady today leaves an extra tiara is to be added to her pay, I'd love to hear some more Miraculous Earth stories, Miss Peters. Entertainment here is very little fun it's all gossip, no truths and no facts."

"My first name is Bloom, I am Bloom Peters." Bloom introduced herself. Then she moved onto clean the booth seats herself. Then she walked away to put out the filled garbage bags, reline the bins on each side of the three buffets on both sides of the building.
Bloom's Pov
"Bloom, dishes need drying." Jingles called from the back.
"Coming Supervisor." I answered back. Jingles was preparing the income Bloom just earnt. 5 more trainers each equaling a 100 dollars total that makes 500 dollars a second stack of 5 trainers brings the total up to a 1,000 dollars, a third stack of 5 trainers equals up to 1, 500 dollars, 5 trainers for harvesting equalled 2,000 dollars in total itself, 5 trainers for sweeping and scrubbing the floors and booths which made the earnings rise to 2,500 dollars, 4 trainers for taking out trash and clearing booth tables now that was 2,900 dollars. 5 tiaras (a tiara equals 500 dollars) for cleaning the windows adds up to 5, 400 dollars. After drying the dishes and steadily putting them back on shelves very carefully she was paid 6 tiaras. My income came up to 8,400 dollars in cash. That would be 7,623 euros approximately.

My first day I had earnt 4,00 dollars with all those trainers and 5 tiaras. I put two tiaras into the bank slot of their vault 716 so that is minus a 1,00 as each tiara was 500 dollars. 8,000 was my original pay of two work days earning 4,00 each day with coins counting up so 8,000-1,000 is 7,000 because I paid for my bank vault. She paid 200 dollars to get Garden gloves and a rope and another trainer to pay for fruit that subdued Mandrake fruit side effects. So she had used 300 dollars of three trainers. 7,000-300 dollars=6,700 dollars +8,400 dollars=15,100 dollars which in euros is exactly 15,100 dollars total in the earnings I have calculated so far. I used five tiaras from my previous second day job to pay the oil painters I hired to paint my sketches and get the pictures framed and sent to Alfea. So that left my salary at 12,600 if you subtract that payment too also. 12,600 dollars were equivalent to 11,239 euros. I used 9 euros to transfer an unframed two pictures to send to my beloved parents of Earth with me and Stella dancing side by side so my money that was left for now what 11,230 euros equaling to 12,590 dollars I had left to spare now. After I finished drying and putting away the dishes from last week's customers, I left the diner, Janessa, Johnatha and Jingles waved me goodnight from the window and I said I'd be back at 6:30 upon closing hours the very next day. I called Ace and he came on his hover-bike Riven gifted him.
"I need to stop at the bank, I need to deposit my earnings from the diner, Ace, before going back to Alfea. Ace walked with her into the bank building vault room. Having approached my vault I opened her

"Who is that boy?" Stormy wondered curiously. Darcy was at a spells store after Rosella led them to their city home with Aquamarine and the young Dyamond Fairy's father. Stormy had snuck away to avoid the usual boring spell research and go recon herself. "He's no Specialists no Specialist has an aura. They're not magical their weapons are. Saladdin's a wizard, so is Palladium he's closest I've seen to Ace's powerful magic. But Saladdin rejects Ace as a student I wonder why that is. Maybe his powers are something Saladdin cannot teach to be controlled, but Saladdin's only daughter was a Fairy the Fairy of Phoenixes and the Phoenix is the Magix Regalia. The Magix realm symbol is partnership a White Cosmic Phoenix and a White Dragon both Symbols are in murals scattered throughout this city as far as anybody can see, indeed." Stormy told herself immediately. "Bloom is unique like me, quiet more reserved and when you get to know us both we astound even ourselves sometimes. Superior people or older siblings sometimes can't handle when it begins to blossom." Stormy thought about Bloom's actions trying to form a true identity a real identity of the Earthling new girl fairy that was Bloom. Ace brought me to an ice cream stand and ordered her ice cream inside a waffle cone.

Bloom's Pov

"Oh, thanks, Ace," I responded surprised.
"You went through a lot last Friday, Bloom, figure you could use a pick me up." stated Ace.

"You're so sweet, not at all what I imagined a real wizard to be like, Ace." sighed she kept 1 stack of tiaras on her and 6 trainers on her, and put the rest in the vault of 716 and closed it so she she had a 5 tiaras.
1 tiara equals 500 dollars, 2 tiaras 1,000 add another two it is's 2,000 2,500 dollars in total + 6 trainers equals 600 dollars making her total in her pocket equivalent of 3,100 dollars again. She walked back out with Ace.

"Alright let's get back to Alfea, Ace, we've waited long enough." I reply. We got back on the hoverbike and I put on my helmet.  We rode back to Alfea Academy campus Ace shrank his hoverbike and walked me through the doors neither of us none the wiser about one of the Trix the youngest spying on me at the exact same time right now.

"Thank you, Ace, in all my life I've only ever had two life long childhood friends that make feel so alive as you do. It's a miracle when I met you all my worry about the negative situations during that first ball here melted away. I have always been afraid of being alone singled out the rest of my life because of neighborhood kids on Earth. I was a freak of nature everybody ridiculed me for my brilliant orange hair a natural thing I couldn't alter I love my natural features. I was taught by my parents never touch more than your level of commitment, don't commit to somebody more than you can rely on them, don't rely on somebody more than you trust them, and don't trust somebody more than you know them. My parents also told me it takes 90 days to really learn who someone is, Ace. You're the third person I've known the longest here so I trust you more than anyone else here for now." She hugged him. She wanted to keep the kissing cheeks minimal anyways.

"You know the week from this Saturday is Stella's 17 years and 1 month birthday, you should throw her a surprise party at Alfea with your new friends, Bloom."

"She was born on August 18, 1987, Ace." I say aloud surprised. "Yeah, I'll help Flora start planning it thanks for the heads up, and your job is to help her not find out about this surprise party she could use it after all the drama she's been through lately."

"Course, I won't let her know about your surprise party for her on Saturday from this Saturday." Ace agrees to keep this a secret too.
