Mr Smiley looked at the Gem. The Gem, who was industriously picking her teeth with a wooden skewer that once held a corn dog, looked back at him. She was short and plump with skin the colour of an orange segment; her pale yellow hair was done up in a braid so long that almost reached the floor. There was a yellow star emblazoned on the front of her puffy orange dress. As he watched, she flicked the skewer away and it embedded itself in the floor by his right foot with a dull 'thunk'.

"Is there-" A stifled burp interrupted her words. "-a problem, officer? If that is your real name." they added in an undertone, narrowing their teal eyes at him suspiciously.

Momentarily lost for words, Mr Smiley swept a hand in front of him in an expansive gesture that took in what, until very recently, was the Funland Amusement Park's main food stall. But food stall it was no longer, for what kind of food stall had no food? All of the merchandise meant for the hungry mouths of tourists and visitors was gone, with only crumbs and smears around the Gem's mouth proving that it had ever been. Faintly, he could hear the sound of someone sobbing. The stall's owner, given into to despair, having given up all hope of stopping the destruction half an hour ago.

"You... You ate it all?"

The Gem spared the empty food stall a glance and shrugged. "Looks that way." she confirmed, wiping powdered sugar off her mouth with the back of one gloved hand.

"All of it?!"

Another shrug. "I was hungry. I've come a long way, needed the energy, you know? Walking who-knows-how far across the sea floor really takes it out of you."

"I hope you're going to pay for all of this. You've just cost me at least a week's worth of food sales..." Mr Smiley glared down at the unrepentant Gem, who cocked her head at him like a confused puppy. She was clearly going for the cute offensive but it wasn't going to work.

Slimey sighed. Maybe he could put this one to work to pay off her debts, or maybe... Maybe he could talk to Greg Universe about repayment, seeing as he was most involved with the odd-coloured women who made their home in Beach City. It's not like he couldn't afford it nowadays, after all. Speaking of odd-coloured women, he'd thought that the purple one - Amethyst, he thought it was - was bad when it came to eating. Clearly she had a rival in that area.

"Unless you can pay for this, I'll have no choice but to ban you from the Park for life."

"Oh, right. Payment. I remember that from last time, something humans like... Of course. Hold on..." They raised their hands to the orange gem imbedded in their chest; there was a brief glow and suddenly there was a large cloth sack sitting in the Gem's hands. It was soaking wet, stank of salt, and clinked in a suspiciously metallic way as she placed it in his disbelieving grasp, patting his hands at she did so. "Here, I found this in an old human ship on the seafloor. There was just loads of it lying about, like nobody wanted it anymore, so I helped myself. Keep the change."

As the Gem sauntered away, Mr Smiley cautiously opened the bag to find dozens of golden doubloons glinting back at him.
