With Cyrus enjoying his food Dee Dee gave him a thumbs up and continued on her work, and he when he said he would give her a shout out during his show she gave a thumbs up and continued to make a few things as prep work for more customers, cutting up some veggies and the like so they can quickly be put on the grill or added as a topping so that the whole process was somewhat streamlined, even taking time to form the patties for the burgers ahead of time, though they were not being precooked, that would just ruin the whole taste of them after all.

As her work continued she noticed Cyrus had left and as she looked around for him, she spotted him on the stage as the curtains opened to show him in his new outfit. Well it looked like the meal was eaten at a good time then, he then thanked the crowd and pointed to her food cart, Dee Dee looked at him a moment then the crowd then she lifted her arm and gave a wave to everyone, BombDee joining in on the wave before Dee Dee gave everyone a thumbs up and BombDee gave a little Salute.

Dee Dee was busy again for a bit, as Cyrus performed people would come up for a quick snack item, others asking about the Tomatonator, and still others just wanting drinks, all of Which Dee Dee quickly provided with the help of BombDee and Kramer helped to get the cook top hot if there was a bit to much time between customers. All in All it was going fairly well. Then Cyrus seemed to be inviting them up and Dee Dee Looked to BombDee who gave a little nod and Dee Dee pats the Waddle-dee on the head as she got up and left the Food cart in BombDee's Capable hands as the line for food and drink had died down a bit.

Heading on stage Dee Dee grabbed an instrument and headed to the front ofthe stage to join Cyrus and she nodded to him and waved to the crowd as she joined him in the next few songs, though she didn't sing or anything, she only played her instrument to accompany his playing and singing, she was decent at it, and a few others she changed to before after a bit she switched with BombDee So that BombDee was playing instruments on the stage with Cyrus and then Dee Dee was working the food cart.

Dee Dee continued to serve customers as Alexei looked over her food cart, he seemed to be taking it in, and considering he said he was just fresh out of the tutorial she could somewhat understand him just looking around, She herself didn't actually take much time to look around herself, she simply set to helping people, after all from what she understood her home town in Japan had become a high risk zone so it was to dangerous for her to go there as she was now.

As Alexei commented on the food cart Dee Dee nodded rapidly as she served another customer their food, things were moving along at a nice pace, and as Alexei pondered on what to get Dee Dee pointed to the Menu at the "chef's choice" option which was a Tomatonator meal with a side of fries and a juice to drink, she even had a few options for juice, apple, pineapple, grape, and orange. and she gave a thumbs up, personally it was her favorite, since the Tomatonator had a roasted and seasoned tomato on the burger patty, she considered it quite the meal.

Though Alexei would likely notice people buying more then normal fair rather then the Tomato stuff, though the Tomato based selection was rather wide so it wasn't simple at all. Though as he asked about how to pay Dee Dee opened a message window and typed up a message for him as BombDee took over cooking.

"First meal is free, and points are the new currency, it's why it's important to know how to obtain some, but I also accept barter, as well as good deeds, you want a meal for free? do a good deed to someone to pass the good fortune forward, so help out the community, help people learn the system, hand out the Beginners guides I have, or something like that that helps people, I don't expect people to report to me on it, I trust people will do the right thing, and this way even people down on their luck can enjoy a nice meal!" She sent the Message to Alexie.

The good news about having a food cart was that while he was standing there deciding the line could also move around him, so when he did eventually look around Alexei would find that he wasn't really holding up the line at all. and with themessage sent Dee Dee started to help BombDee with making the food once more.

Though his second question caused Dee Dee to work with only one hand as the other typed out a reply in a message "I started the food cart after I realized I could get supplies from the System, but it only offers the basics in most cases, so I scavenged the parts, materials, and tools I needed to build the cart, I also use some of my points to get the produce and other supplies, but I also know a few people with farmer or Gardener Classes and they supply me with things in return to scavenged goods or a small cut of the profits" she explained in the message she sent Alexei as she continued her work.

Dee Dee gave a thumbs up to Alexei as he tanked her, she was happy to help someone out since it meant more people that could help other people, and the more people that understood the more people that could teach others eventually, so it all worked out in the end in helping even more people. Though she figured he wouldn't know what a Tomatonator was, since it was something she sold at her food cart "A Tomatonator is one of the meals you can buy at the Maximum Tomato, which is a food cart I run, they are delicious!" the message that she sent to Alexei clarified for him.

With the Caravan up and moving again the group started heading out, it wasn't so much the distance that was the issue, it was the fact that the ones driving didn't have combat classes and patrols sometimes missed groups of monsters or they moved in after a Patrol had gone by, so Alexei's question made a lot of sense "We should actually be there soon, the village is barely a days travel out, I am not sure if you have noticed but we travel a fair bit faster and father then we used to now that we have the stat system, we are faster and more able to endure the fatigue, I mean think about it, we are keeping up mostly on foot with horse Drawn Wagons, granted they are not going anywhere near top speed, but we are keeping up with them fairly well." Dee Dee pointed out in her message as they continued.

"As for my Summons I have to ask them to help me, they are my friends after all, and while they are an extension of myself they are also their own creature, I just think of how I would ask for help from a friend when I summon them, and they appear! When I first got my powers I tried doing it like a command and nothing happened, that's when I realized the mindset I needed and tried to ask like I was asking a friend and Poof Kramer appeared to help me! People would call them Summons, I call them Friends because that is what they are to me, they help me because they want to, not because I am some master of them or something" Dee Dee explained as they continued walking.

The two flaming goblins ran around as the last remaining one started to get up... only for it to be swatted back into the ground by Kramer followed by another power punch by BombDee making it disappear into a poof of smoke as it was defeated, Dee Dee then moved away from the flaming goblins since she knew they couldn't put out the flames Throwing a Dagger at one and blasting the other with her staff causing them both to get hit and poof in defeat as she looked over to see how her Ally was doing.

The Good news was Alexei seemed to be perfectly fine, well... tired anyway, but her healing aura seemed to be keeping him on the mend, and she headed over to him and gave him a thumbs up before typing him a message. "Goblins are rather weak even in groups but they make up for it by being somewhat smart with attacking in sequence to leave no openings... best way to beat them is to disrupt their attack pattern and then take one out before they can get back into a rhythm, they might be weak but they are aware that they are weak and so they move to try to cover it as best they can, and yes they are rather common around these parts but they are never in groups larger then 10 by the roads since Patrols tend to keep their numbers low" she sent the message to Alexei.

She took another tomato out of her Inventory and handed it to him, before sending another message "This is why even though I am higher level I try to always come to do these missions, some people think it's a waste of time to do the lower ranked missions, but newer people still need help dealing with things like this and I think us higher level people should help out, besides I am not really all that strong alone, I just happen to have my Friends with me all the time, more people make a job much easier after all! and hey when we get to the destination I can treat you to a Tomatonator!" she sent the message and gave him another thumbs up

Dee Dee noticed how Cyrus seemed to be contemplating things, and she continued to make some food for a few of the people that had helped make the stage, serving them and making sure everyone got a good meal in before the work began, though Cyrus started to chuckle as he was broken out by the tomato and Dee Dee nodded to him as he asked her about her friends, it was nice having them around since it meant she was never lonely and she always had support for herself, and they were adorable!

Dee Dee was quite pleased with everything the food was cooking up nicely, and she made a new friend, though she forgot to send Cyrus a Friend request so she did that as she made a Tomatonator for him with a side of fries, Quite happily cooking away and finishing with roasting the tomato and seasoning it before placing it on the burger and handing it to the man and giving him a thumbs up.

Hearing the request she typed out a message, "Yeah I can help you out on some songs, and other times I will need to help BombDee make the food some times since he could get overwhelmed, and I don't want him to be to overworked so I will do a few songs and then help him if he needs it, then swap out with him and he can help you play music for a bit while I work the stand does that work for you?" the message asked as she looked over to him

The Two flaming goblins finally succumbed to the flames and both fell to the ground poofing into smoke as they were unable to put out the flames which gave Dee Dee less to worry about.

Looking at Kramer and BombDee though, the two where hard pressed to get in any attacks with the goblins staggering their attacks, But Dee Dee had seen this before, they had done the same when she was escorting another caravan, it seemed to be their preferred tactic, it made sense, they had no armor so keeping an enemy on the defensive was likely the best move for them.

However that also meant they had to keep up the attack and wear the target out, it only took one quick thing to change a fight like this and Dee Dee already had plans, first she started to charge at the Two attacking Kramer, she had a lot of ground to cover but she wasn't planning on attacking them, instead as she moved Kramer continued his dodging and BombDee managed to back up a few paces from the Goblins Pressing in on him.

To Dee Dee and her Summons, the next few moments were in slow motion as Their senses synced up, and all three could sense what the others were sensing as Dee Dee activated her new ability, thankfully she had used it before to train with it or this would have been heavily disorienting, however with their senses linked she could time this better, she could see all the goblins now, even if they were not in her personal field of view, and so she took out a dagger and threw one at one of the goblins attack Kramer as she continued her charge at them before lifting her staff. At the Same time BombDee kicked off the ground getting ready to drop into a dead sprint.

And then suddenly, they switched places, Dee Dee was standing where BombDee had been and as she brought her Staff down she let out a gout of fire from her mouth covering the two Goblins in flame that had just been facing BombDee, Causing the Two goblins to try to put out the flames, Meanwhile BombDee was now in a dead sprint towards the Goblin that Dee Dee hadn't targeted with the Dagger.

The Dagger hit first, hitting the Goblin in the back and causing it to cry out, making the other look back just in time for it to get a Power Punch from BombDee right to the face Sending it flying but still not defeated. As This Happened Kramer, well aware of the timing thanks to the Shared Senses, suddenly dived down accelerating rapidly before swooping down and Swatting the Goblin that had been hit with the Dagger causing it to fully poof into smoke as it was defeated.

With that all done Dee Dee pointed at Alexei and a little start shot from her finger and flew unerringly to him where it would hit him and envelop him in a healing aura as she gave him a thumbs up. Though the small girl was clearly winded from everything she had just done.
