The Knife that broke Discord's back
Prologue: Orchid Dew
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"Orchid Dew!" I hear as I drop some dishes from my serving platter just as the levitation spell fades, several cups of herbal tea and plates of veggies crashing with a loud THUD noise accompanying my thoughts
"Oh Celestia.." My boss rushes over to me and screams to me about something or other. I can't believe I did that again. I've got really bad butterfingers and I drop stuff a lot which doesn't help much when your a waitress at a whole food cafe.
"Orchid Dew, That's the fourth time today!" My boss Greenery is piping mad at me, but she puts up with me for some reason or another. I mop up all the tea and broken glass. Greenery has a bad temper, but a good heart and of course you need both to put up with my clumsiness. "Sweet Celestia, Orchid Dew, how much do I have to tell you stop slanting your tray when you walk to a table!?"
" I tried my hardest, but I'm sorry, I should have payed better attention, I'll pay for the broken kitchenware out of my paycheck." I have a feeling I know what she's about to say since she says it every time I do something stupid.
"I appreciate you honesty and your resiliency, but one more accident like this and I'm gonna have to drop you." She sighs and walks away. I need the money to pay for Grannie Flora's operation and I can't let her down. My Grannie Flora is my mom since my parents died in an expedition in Zebabwe. Grampa Charter died seven months ago and I can't let that happen to Grannie Flora.
Well I'd better get back to work while I have a job
