After she showered and brushed her teeth, Piper picked a smart-looking black pencil skirt (Greedy's choice) and a white blouse showing lots of her cleavage (Horny had her way over Greedy). Lazy was still sulking and Fat seemed to be going along with the plan… until Piper Black walked to the bus stop.
The butterball, quietly licking her fingers until then, suddenly perked up. “Ooooh, look! This bus goes to D's Donuts! I wanna donuts! I wanna donuts!”
Everyone else rolled their eyes. “Fat, stop!” “You seriously need to grow up.”
“If you let me have my way more often, I would. Now I wanna DOOooo-NUTS!”
“OK, fine,” Lazy covered her ears, “just stop shouting already. We can have our donuts, relax in the booth…”
“And maybe score some hot chick...” Horny licked her lips hungrily.
“No! No, no, no, no,” despaired Greedy. “We need money. Dinero, cash, dough! Horny, how many hot chicks have you seen in D's Donuts? Lazy, remember how you complained about the booths in D's Donuts being too hard? Fat…”
“I WAN-NA DO-NUTS! DO-ZEN DO-NUTS! DO-ZEN DO-NUTS!”
“No! This is all wrong…” Greedy tried to halt them but Piper already boarded the wrong bus. A couple stops later she waltzed into the shop.
“Hi, Madi!”
"Welcome to D's Donuts, Piper! Glad to see you again!" a plump girl greeted her cheerfully from the counter. “What will it be today?”
“Umm… ” Piper hesitated while Greedy tried to overturn the decision one last time – in vain. “…a baker's dozen, some apple-filled, glazed…” she repeated what Fat was telling her to order.
“Perfect. And here's your thirteenth, on the house. That'll be ten ninety,” Madi leaned forward to pass them to Piper, her belly spreading on the counter.
“Thanks,” Piper swiped her credit card and went to pick up the donuts when the terminal beeped.
“Uhh, sorry, Piper? I'm afraid your card seems to be…”
“Hell, no...”
In Piper's head, Greed triumphed. “See? What did I tell you?! We – need – cash! Let's leave the donuts here and look for work!”
“Work?” Lazy shuddered, “you wanna kill us?”
Horny wrinkled her pretty forehead. “Wait! Didn't that guy in the bar yesterday leave us a tenner? In should still be in the purse,” and Piper started rummaging inside. “See? Crisis solved.”
“Solved? You call this solved?” fumed Greedy while Piper brought her donuts to a booth. “We just spent our last money on a heap of empty calories! And if we eat it all, we'll be too sluggish to do anything else today…”
“Exactly,” sighed Lazy.
“We need to pack it up, take the rest of donuts home and start looking for employers…”
“I WANNA DOZEN DONUTS!”
Meanwhile Piper munched happily away, unaware of the struggle that went on in her subconscious. It wasn't her first binge at D's Donuts, in fact she'd recently become something of a regular here, stretching her stomach. But still, thirteen donuts was a lot…
In her head, discussion was slowly losing volume as everyone was getting lethargic, sprawled on their couches. Greedy made it one last attempt before they fell asleep. “Girls, seriously, we need to get money. We're broke! And I saw a very interesting advert yesterday. Some rich lawyer's looking for a secretary. I was trying to steer you there from the beginning. The salary's huge! And…” she switched gears, realising money aren't going to appeal to other aspects of Piper's personality, she tried different angles. “we could afford donuts every day, we'd be just taking phones and looking pretty all day long plus the lawyer might even be cute!”
“Hah, fat chance,” snorted Horny. “In fact, if we really need money so much, why not find ourselves a sugar daddy? Or mommy? Remember that tenner from yesterday? And that was just for a bit of touching. How much could we get for laying in bed all day doing nothing?”
“Actually,” until now Fat was enjoying the feast but now she joined the conversation. “Actually, I've seen an ad too. And I can read, thank you for asking. I'm a big girl…”
“We see that.”
“Anyway, Yeng Food Prodosh- Prodush- that big company is looking for taste testers. We'd just laze around all day and eat… and pay's even better than in that secretary job, Greedy.”
“Ah, girls,” Lazy opened one eye, “don't you think this is too tiring? Let's leave it for tomorrow.”
“No, we need to decide now,” protested Greedy.
“Yeah, I think the Yeng offer was time-limited,” agreed Fat.
“We could go straight to the bar from here and start looking,” suggested Horny.
But who will prevail?
