Chapter 21: "Normal" Day Out

     (F/n) POV

I yawned and sat up in my bed. Rubbing my eyes, I looked around. Everything seemed so clean. Did I sleep-clean or something?

How... The frick... Did I get into... My bed...? 

I glanced around my room once more, finally noticing the bright yellow sticky note on my dresser. I squinted my eyes, put on my glasses (Just for the people who actually have glasses, like yours truly ;3 If you don't have glasses, ignore that part! I feel bad for them because a lot of authors don't acknowledge that some people wear glasses!), and read it. The sticky note was hard to read since my eyes were kinda blinded by the brightness, but I could manage.

'Hey, (F/n)! You fell asleep while watching movies yesterday, so I decided to take you to your room!' 

Oh. So that's how I ended up here.

'By the way, I tidied up your room a bit. It was kinda messy. No offense, heh... Anyway, there were only a few shirts here and there, and I just put them in your dresser. You have cute clothes! c:'

'~Steven'

I internally squealed. Aw. That's so sweet of him.

...Wait... I only have one dresser. And I just stuff all of my clothes in one drawer...

(Realization in 3... 2...)

So he just saw my undergarments (Don't ya mean... Under-GARNETS?! BWAHAHAHA! Yes I just added that because of this pun)...

FRICK.

(Fuck this shit i'm out~ Don't mind me... Just gonna leave... Fuck this shit i'm out~)

I'll just, uhm... Erase that thought out of my mind. Eheheh... 

I shook my thoughts out of my head, went to splash my face with water and brush my teeth, and  afterwards, I brushed my hair. Changing into a white tank top, faded (f/c) cardigan, along with some ripped jeans, I smiled into the mirror. I then put a simple (f/c) headband in my (h/c) hair, along with white sandals and made some funny faces, snorting at them. It was better to look ugly on purpose than actually looking ugly. (Nuuuu, dudette, you look purr-ty ;-;) 

I walked downstairs and waved a hello to my parents. "Hey, i'm gonna head out. See you later!" 

"Kay, just go get some breakfast while you're at it." my father said, not looking up from his newspaper. 

"Ooh, can you get my a pretzel?" my mother asked from the kitchen. I nodded and smiled. I slammed the door open with a happy grin on my face. I skipped all the way to Beach City humming one of my favorite songs. (I FEEL IT IN MY BONES! ENOUGH TO MAKE MY SYSTEM BLOW! WELCOME TO THE NEW AGE- This is one of my favorite songs lmao. That song was from 2012? Oh, i'm sorry, I didn't know songs had expiration dates- Whoops, i'll shut up now. c:) 

My stomach rumbled as I walked by the Big Donut. I wonder if they have some croissants or something. Nothing too big. (*Je suis dans une humeur française~)

I heard a bell jingle as I shut the door. Sadie was restocking the goodies on the display and Lars was just sleeping... As usual. "Hi, Sadie." I greeted, "Do you have any croissants or something?" 

Sadie grinned. "Hey, (F/n). Actually, yeah! I just set out a fresh batch." she replied. I nodded. "Then i'll take one and a pretzel with extra salt please." I said. Sadie grinned. "Good choices." she said as she walked into the kitchen. 

A few minutes later, Sadie came out with my croissant and my mother's pretzel. I payed and gave a nickel as a tip. "Thank you, come again!" Sadie called out as I walked out the door. I opened my bag and sat on a bench. 

Today would be a lazy day where I could just hangout by myself. I nibbled my croissant, savoring the flavor. I grinned, a warm feeling inside of me. This was nice...

Until a giant snail-like gem mutant bursted from the ocean. AGHHHH, HOLY CRAP! ...Well that escalated kinda quickly.

I screamed and ducked behind the bench as the snail thing- you know what? I'm just gonna call it a snail- squealed in agony, trying to slither out of the ocean. Well, I guess it was getting hurt because of the ocean salt...? I ran over to the beach to get a closer look. Yep. Bad move.

The snail successfully slid out of the ocean and landed heavily onto the sand, blowing sand everywhere, causing me to cough. "Bleh..." I spat. When I recovered the snail had turned it's head. ...The snail had spotted me.

It lunged towards me, screeching and spraying out icky, yellow slime. I luckily jumped out of the way in time as the snail crashed into the Fish Stew Pizza pizzeria. Of course, everyone was freaking out. Oh man, oh man, oh man... Where are Steven and the gems when you need them? 

I glanced around me. I know what I need to do. I quickly grabbed my bag of food and couragously ran towards Fish Stew Pizza. I climbed on top of the roof where the snail was, almost getting knocked off by flying pizzas everywhere. The snail was throwing things and they were EVERYWHERE!

I screamed as I almost got covered in a frozen pizza, dodging by moving to the left, which of course was right next to the ledge of the roof. I sighed in relief, seeing that I had an opportunity to move towards the ginormous hole in the roof. I took my mother's pretzel out of the bag and carefully aimed it towards the snail. 

I gasped as I missed. "Fudge!" I hissed out loud. The snail whipped it's head around. "Uh oh..." I mumbled. The snail inched it's way towards me... 

...Sliding onto the pretzel. 

The snail screeched angrily as it's gooey skin burned and sizzled from the salt of the pretzel. I grinned. Success! The snail screamed and looked like it was about to blow up. I widened my eyes and attempted to cover myself with my hands. No use. Snail juice was already splashed onto me. My eye twitched. Disgusting! But i'll ignore that for now. 

I peeked down the hole in the roof, noticing a damaged glowing yellow gem, lying on the ground. Uh... What should I do with it? Well, what would Steven do? Bubble it, that's right!

But I can't bubble things. Gosh darn it...

"I'll take it from here." I heard Steven's voice pipe.

Note from Chryssi-chan: Momma Chryssi is tired, my babies... And it's only 8:43 lmao. Coming from someone who sleeps at 12:00, that's pretty early. My Macbook Pro keeps restarting, I think something's wrong with it, so I gotta make this quick. Thank you guys SO SO SO SO MUCH for 3k reads and 172 votes! ;;u;; I love ya'll. Goodnight!
