The New Lars (Steven Universe / Lar's)

Chapter 32: Meep-Morps

The bell above the door jingles continuously as the last of the customers in the store had just left. Sunlight glints off the polished wooden tables, and the scent of fresh glaze hangs heavy in the air.

Sadie: Wow... today's busier than usual.

Lars: Mhm, go on and catch a break Sadie.

Sadie nods, moving down the row of tables with her notepad and return the pad back to its station in the backroom and headed upstairs to the break-room while Lars began to clean his utensils as Greg tunes his guitar between tickets, humming under his breath but otherwise unmoving.

Nothing out of the ordinary happens as no gem event has happened so far which was preferred and nothing should happen while they were gone, right?

Well the Gems cant be the sole blame for the many issue in the town, that blame lies in everyone past relationship that they failed to be buried which will always return to haunt.

The bell jingle as Lars shift his eyes to glance at the door to where he saw a familiar looking man who appears to be in their middle age and wore obvious material alike to Gold as for shoes with glasses that seem similar to Buck's own.

'This is the Classic Donut that had a restructure?'

This man began to glance around at the empty tables and didn't spot anything that seem to flex any form of wealth at all beside the higher standard of professionalism of a Beach-Side store front, then his gaze fixes Greg with a widen stare of surprise before he adjust his glasses which hid a tiny smirk from behind his hand as he walked towards Greg, as he was minding his own business.

'What is on the menu, Star-Child.'

As he spoke down at Greg, there was a visible flinch from the man before he looked at the man who spoke to him as he seem to look like he saw a ghost before his expression turned to surprise.

Greg: Marty?

Marty: Seem like the music industry wasn't as good to you as it was for me.

Greg: What brings you all the way out to Beach City? There is only like a few band artist here?

Marty looks at Greg before looking at Lars with a narrowed eyes as he reached in his pocket.

Marty: We got some left-over business when you departed from the contract.

Grabbing a form of a crunched up letter, he presented it to Greg as both of Greg eyes was blinded by the amount of gold rings on Marty finger but he did managed to get ahold of the letter, making Marty grip loosen from the envelop as he turns and began to walk to the kitchen area and looked up to Lars.

Marty: Mr. Lars, am i right?

Lars: That's me. What can I do for you?

Marty flashes a very bright sharp tooth grin.

Marty: I'm here to offer you a golden opportunity. A commercial deal that'll put the Classic Donut on the map and a way to get very rich!

Lars: And what exactly are you promoting?

He dramatically reveals a can from his jacket, placing it on the counter with a flourish.

Marty: Behold, Guacola! The next big thing in beverages.

Lars picks up the can, examining it with a raised eyebrow.

Lars: Avocado soda? The soda has all the nutritional value of 3 avocados?

Marty: Yes! But here is where you are wrong, not just any soda! It's a lifestyle. A revolution in refreshment!

While he didn't exactly know what this drink taste, he did spot that it was 100% from Avocado concentrate but before he could even accept it since this promotion will also affect their own business so he will need some detail about the drink and the company.
