Guys, you will NOT believe what happened to me! I don't know if anyone noticed, but I've been gone for MONTHS! MONTHS! And guess where I was all this time?

Jail. That's right. I went to jail. It turns out I never repaid the debt I racked up on my credit card since the first time I saved Angel Land and bought stuff off the black market, and the debt collectors who I didn't even know were hounding me finally nabbed me after all these years. Three decades and high interest rates did me in so bad... There were so many zeroes tacked onto that amount that I couldn't count them! Wonderful, incredible, amazing, benevolent, wise and all-the-other-good-adjectives-I-can't-think-of-right-now Lady Palutena was gracious enough to bail me out, but I'm still not a free angel yet. The debt's not completely repaid, so I have to keep shelling hearts out until I'm in the clear. That said, uhh... Does anyone know how I can get that kind of cash fast enough?

Auuugh! And now my credit score is in the pits, too! I'll never be able to buy a house, or a car, or a high-def flat-screen TV even if I wanted to! I might as well resign myself to a life of eternal bumhood...

Uh. Long story short, I'm back. I didn't miss too much, did I?

H-honestly, sometimes I wish there were two of me to handle tasks, especially if I could have another me working at my pizzeria on busy nights. Seeing how Dr. Crygor hasn't invented a cloning machine yet, I'm on my own for the time being.

[Okay, so maybe there was one time where Dr. Crygor's granddaughter created a motorbike that somehow cloned Wario into several tiny Warios, but that's as far as cloning got in Diamond City. And may it never happen again. Way too many Warios for Mona's liking.]

But that of course is not a biggie! Managing my priorities has become so much easier when I manage my time right. I create a schedule and stick to it, making sure I have free time in between to breathe and relax. It's no fun if you don't allow yourself the time to have...well, some fun! All work and no play, makes for a very boring person.

[No matter if Mona does have a tight schedule she still manages to nearly arrive late to work. All the time. It's not just a one time thing.]

Keeping a schedule too reduces stress levels like you wouldn't believe.

Sounds like I should be taking notes!　Hey, which one of those is your most favorite job of all time?

You definitely should be jotting this down. Otherwise, how will you remember it for next time? Or if you've got a good photographic memory I guess writing it down is kind of redundant...

Out of all my jobs, my favorite by far will always be working at my pizzeria. The benefits of the job include meeting so many new, and interesting people. Sometimes the job is tough when it gets super busy or you're fighting the competition, but then I remember all the cool people I've met and it cheers me up. I don't know what I'd do without such an awesome job in my life!

Well I mean, I guess I could find another job equally as fun. But it wouldn't be the same. You understand?

Oh, I totally get what you mean! Well, my main job is protecting Angel Land, which is no walk in the park, and it isn't always fun. But I would never stop. Okay, maybe it's a little different. I'm doing it not because it's fun, but because it's my duty. One thing's for sure: I'd never want to change employers! If I'm working for Lady Palutena, I want to work for life. I don't want any other job in the world.

But of course... right now, I need to find me some extra jobs on the side. You know what? Working at a pizzeria sounds great! But I have just one question. Is there free pizza involved?

Same here! I've worked under the same two bosses for a couple of years now. There is no way I'd ever leave them, why, I would feel like I'm betraying them.

As for your question...it depends! Most pizzerias however are quite generous of the idea of giving free pizzas to their employees. Like, consider it a sort of free sample. Of course it's kinda free in the sense you can prepare one at home once you learn the how tos! And, ah, you certainly become quite popular with your friends at parties when you show up with delicious pizza pie. So in a sense, your friends are benefiting on the free goodies.

...Hm. Sounded better in my head than it did out loud.

Made sense to me! I can get behind pizza parties. Heck, I can even get behind the job description itself. Is your place hiring, by any chance?

How does delivery boy sound to you? Oh, don't worry, it's an easy job to do! And I'll put in an extra good word about you to Manager Joe. Usually he's in charge of the hiring cause he's my boss of the joint, but I don't think he'll mind the extra help either. We're currently short staff since I've come to the academy. I know he'll be grateful to have you on board!

How hard can it be? Just go door-to-door with pizzas as fast as you can, right? I'm on it! Thank you so much! What's your name, by the way? Mine's Pit.

Oh...right! I never introduced myself from the start, silly of me. My name is Mona! I own Mona Pizza back in my hometown of Diamond City. Don't know if you've ever heard of it? Well, regardless! It will be an utmost pleasure to have you on board the team Pit!

[Without warning, Pit breaks into song.]

This here is Mona Pizza!
Makers of the world's best eatsa!
Fresh sauce and cheese galo-ore,
Brought straight to your front do-or!

[Hearing the jingle never ceases to amaze her. What is more amazing is hearing the entirety of her business jingle being sung. Good to know her pizza business is booming even to remote areas such the academy. Mona can't help but join in with Pit, clapping her hands to the beat and turning the jingle into a duet.]

A-MA-ZING!I can't believe you have the entire jingle memorized to heart. That's like, a first. You've been to Diamond City then I take it?

[She rubs her hands together in anticipation for his answer. The sooner she can hire Pit, the sooner she can blow Pizza Dinosaur sky high out of the pizza waters! Those corporate jerks will be sorry the day they ever picked a fight with Mona!]

Actually, no. I just know the jingle. Pretty catchy, isn't it?

[She laughs. Aw, he's too darn cute for words.]

I should hope it's a catchy jingle. Wrote it myself!

[Pit erupts into awe.]

Oh, no way! You really ARE talented! It would be a waste not to clone you.

...Kidding!

[Nervous laughter.]

Don't know if I should take that as a compliment but...thank you? I'm afraid one too many of me might be a bit over dramatic. As they say, three is a crowd. I'd be getting in my own way literally during my jobs.

Oh, trust me. They do get in the way. Sometimes.

No way, I would have expected clones to be in the way twenty-four seven. You go to brush your teeth and find the bathroom already crammed to occupancy with three of you brushing their teeth. You turn over in bed to find a clone is hogging the warm sheets!

Though sometimes? Really?

Well, they can be a big help, too. When it's you versus the world- or, at least, waves and waves of monsters out to kill you- having some backup can really be a lifesaver.

...But I hate it when they accidentally shoot you instead! Talk about getting in my way!
