Chapter 24: Flip the Switch

"Is Onion back again?" Mr. Smiley groaned as he ran to the ride, "Shoo! Kid, shoo! I don't need anymore lawsuits!"

"Get the bucket!" Y/n called over to Mr. Smiley

"Right!" Mr. Smiley nodded as he grabbed a bucket full of water near the ride and began chasing Onion out of the park.

"That's the third time in 30 minutes," Y/n laughed as they turned to Steven, "You two are friends, right?"

"I... I think so," Steven said as he watched Mr. Smiley run Onion out passed the gates, "Heh, maybe I should tell Pearl that you're here. She kept worrying when you didn't come for breakfast or lunch... and that you weren't in your room,"

"Oh boy," Y/n chuckled, "Must've been fun to deal with,"

"You have no clue," Steven laughed, "I wonder how she'll react when you walk in,"

"Well, we'll have to wait and see," Y/n said, "I should get back to work,"

"Good idea, see you later," Steven waved as he left

"See ya," Y/n laughed, "Again,"

"Come on, what is with that kid and arson?" Mr. Smiley huffed as he came to the arcade, "How's it going here?"

"Fine, it's all quiet," Y/n told

"Cameras still recording?" Mr. Smiley asked

"Yep, all is in order," Y/n nodded

"You still have the videos?" Mr. Smiley asked

"Mhm," Y/n said as they waved their phone, "I saved them here too,"

"How'd you know about what the land lord was charged with, by the way?" Mr. Smiley asked

"Mr. Fryman told me," Y/n told

"Right, he even got the land lord on video!" Mr. Smiley chuckled, "He said he didn't record it though... Know who did?"

"Me," Y/n told, "I heard him harassing Mr. Fryman so I kind of followed him,"

"He was harassing me too," Mr. Smiley informed, "And Mr. Pizza! Almost everyone!"

"Drugs are expensive, I guess," Y/n shrugged, "You'd think he had enough money with his little escapade here,"

"You would think," Mr. Smiley scoffed, "And I can't believe I got the brunt of it,"

"Well, it won't be that way much longer," Y/n told

"Right! Right," Mr. Smiley nodded, "Alright, let's get back to work,"

"Sounds good," Y/n smiled as they walked over back to the arcade to patrol.

"Y/n! You're here! Where have you been! We were worried sick! We thought something might have happened to you!" Pearl stammered as Y/n walked into the temple

"No, YOU were worried," Amethyst clarified as she sat on the kitchen counter, "The rest of us knew Y/n was okay,"

"I told you that Y/n was working," Steven added as well

"It would be nice if you at least checked in with me," Pearl sighed, "I know that you shouldn't have to! I know that... we're not the ones supposed to be looking after you, but it would make me feel better,"

"I'll let you know from now on," Y/n told as they sat on the couch and sighed

"How's working for Funland?" Amethyst asked with a laugh, "Heh, working for a place that's supposed to be fun,"
