Dead & Co. @ Fenway, June 17 and 18, 2017

Finally getting around to posting about this weekend’s Boston shows which were even more exciting than I’d anticipated. Such an incredibly fun weekend! The weather was great (a bit hotter than I’d have liked on Sunday, but whatever,) the band was in top form - John continues to amaze, Bobby is a true leader/legend and Oteil (who is apparently now a full fledged rhythm devil!) was the breakout star of the Boston run.

Night one first set opened with “The Music Never Stopped” and included a super sweet “Cold Rain and Snow” with JM on vocals as well as a rocking, blues-y “Big Boss Man” during which they projected images of Pigpen on the giant video screens (again, JM vocals.) Second set opened with “Dancin’ in the Streets” done 70s style with John’s falsetto reminiscent of Donna Jean at her best. I’d heard them working this tune up during soundcheck early in the afternoon, so it was no surprise but still had me on my feet.

These shows will probably be remembered as much for their creative set choices as their electrifying jamming. “Help on the Way” segued into the usual “Slipknot” but then took an unexpected detour. Slipknot dissolved into complete improv chaos before reforming as - surprise!- “Estimated/Eyes”  followed by Drums/Space (with Oteil joining in) before eventually satisfying us with a “Frankin’s Tower” to close the set. The double encore of “Black Muddy River” and the traditional “One More Saturday Night” sent us out into the cool Boston night with smiles on our faces.

Sunday was father’s day and I saw more than a few guys sporting “Grateful Dad” shirts, some with their youngsters in tow, which was nice.

First set opened with “Samson and Delilah” and included an exceptionally fun and rocking “Big River” which has always been one of my personal favorite Bobby tunes. Also of note was a really S-L-O-W “Candyman.” The big shake up of the evening occurred at the end of the set when, after a nice “Let it Grow.” Johnny and Bobby pulled out the acoustic guitars and launched into “Friend of the Devil” which segued into...DARK STAR! I couldn’t believe what I was hearing! A beautiful ACOUSTIC “Dark Star” in the first set in BROAD DAYLIGHT! I had always thought of Dark Star as an electric, second set deep psychedelic jam to be best enjoyed in a darkened concert hall or, better yet, under a starry sky. But this acoustic take was absolutely beautiful and eventually melted into a sweet, crowd pleasing ripple which had much of the crowd singing along before the boys left the stage for their break.

Second set opened with a bang. “Truckin’” had everyone immediately on their feet but was soon eclipsed by a fantastic “Fire on the Mountain” with Oteil on vocals!! This man is a true musician. He plays killer bass, great drums and now is coming forward as a damn good vocalist. This “Fire” was definitely the highlight of the weekend for me. I didn’t stop smiling throughout and I believe my legs hurt from dancing so hard. This was followed by an electric “Dark Star” reprise (good lord, could this show get any better?!?) into “Saint Stephen” into Drums/Space (with Oteil joining in once again and Mickey’s crazy duck horns) followed by a somber, majestic “Days Between” with Bobby delivering vocals on this late era GD Jerry masterpiece before ending the set with NFA. The band returned for a beautiful “Brokedown Palace” with some super sweet harmonizing.

All in all, this show melted my fucking brain (and I was on no substances, save for a few beers.)

This band has really hit it’s stride and I can only hope and pray that they continue to find time to tour. A fall tour would be absolutely wonderful. Fall has always been my favorite time to see the Dead. John and Oteil have great onstage chemistry and seem to feed one another, dancing and jumping around together like two wild boys. So fun to watch. And check out Jeff’s piano solo before “Days.” So nice that they’ve brought him forward in the mix.

There’s always been a certain amount of “lot drama” at Dead shows and this current scene is no exception. I heard some cranky grumbling about how the guys are now using predetermined set lists unlike in the old days. I say WHATEVER! Some of these dudes are pushing 70, they can do what they like. Especially if the music rocks like it has been. Whatever works.

The controversial 12 Tribes bus was there of course, complete with the usual rumors of brain washing, kidnapping, etc.

The only real bummer for me, was the way too flagrant nitrous use. Now don’t get me wrong, I sucked more than my share of nitrous in my day, and I’m not saying I’m above doing it again. No judgement here, but people need to learn the value of discretion. There were tanks everywhere (and these were mostly enterprising outsiders, not deadheads) and the amount of balloon trash all over the streets and parking lots surrounding Fenway after the first night prompted a police crackdown the next day. The designated Shakedown lot, which the first day had a great mellow party vibe with beer and other adult beverages flowing freely, plenty of edibles and other goodies for sale among the t-shirts, jewelry, etc. became like an episode of “Cops” on afternoon two. People were told they could no longer sell or drink alcohol (despite this being a private lot) and vendors were hassled over wares containing copyright images, etc. It was just a bad vibe. And I’m certain it was prompted by the unbelievable trash, most notably balloons EVERYWHERE. Unfortunate.

Back in the day the GD mail order flyers included the phrase “Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints.”

The Dead community needs to revisit that advice, lest we begin wearing our our welcome.

SEA Games boosts C. Luzon’s tourism, economy in 2019

#PHnews: SEA Games boosts C. Luzon’s tourism, economy in 2019

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO, Pampanga -- Central Luzon’s staging of the 30th Southeast Asian (SEA) Games helped boost the region’s tourism and economic growth.

Amid the mild domestic challenges that Central Luzon experienced in the past months, the holding of various sporting events in several areas in the region spiked the regional economy in the fourth quarter of the year.

With more than 12,000 athletes and other members of the SEA Games delegation, as well as other local and foreign tourists who watched the events, the region experienced an economic boost, making it one of the core regions contributing to the overall growth of the country.

Agriculture

Central Luzon experienced a slowdown in the agricultural sector following the effects on farmers of the Rice Tariffication Law and the entry of African swine fever (ASF) into the country.

However, concerned government agencies spearheaded by the Department of Agriculture (DA), as well as local government units (LGUs), have put up various measures to mitigate the ASF’s adverse impact on the region’s agriculture sector.

During the remaining months of the year, Central Luzon farmers started to feel the benefits of the PHP10-billion fund allocated for them under Republic Act 11203, or the Rice Tariffication Law.

Out of the fund, PHP5 billion was allotted to farm mechanization; PHP3 billion to seed distribution; and PHP1 billion to expanded rice credit assistance.

On top of the Rice Competitiveness Enhancement Fund (RCEF), the DA also launched the Expanded Survival and Recovery Assistance Program for Rice Farmers (SURE Aid) in Nueva Ecija to provide loan assistance for immediate relief to rice farmers affected by the impact of low palay prices as a result of the Rice Tariffication Law.

The government, through the Land Bank of the Philippines and the Development Bank of the Philippines, has also started releasing the cash grant through the Rice Farmer Financial Assistance (RFFA) Program.

“We understand the plight of our rice farmers, particularly the marginal ones who are experiencing the challenge of a liberalized rice trade,” Agriculture Secretary William Dar said during the launch of the RFFA program in Nueva Ecija last December 23.

The National Food Authority (NFA) has also purchased PHP3 billion worth of palay from Central Luzon farmers for a competitive price of PHP19 per kg.

Meanwhile, LGUs have also implemented ways to help cushion the effects of the Rice Tariffication Law.

In Nueva Ecija, a multi-agency food council was created by the provincial government. With an initial fund of some PHP400 million, the council procured palay from local farmers at a price higher than the prevailing rate in private trading.

To address the ASF concerns, some LGUs in Central Luzon imposed a ban on pork and meat products from areas where the hog virus has been detected.

The Bureau of Animal Industry has also started deploying sentinel pigs to disinfected areas in the region to test the possible re-occurrence of ASF.

Tourism

A spike in tourist volume in Central Luzon this year was noted due to improved infrastructures under the government’s “Build, Build, Build” program.

Among the high-impact projects are the New Clark City, which houses the world-class sports facilities used during the Philippines’ hosting of the 30th SEA Games, and the Clark International Airport that is envisioned to be a major global gateway.

The modernization of the Clark International Airport will pave the way for improved and easier travel to and from the Central Luzon provinces, which is a come-on for businessmen and tourists.

Data from the regional office of the Department of Tourism showed 2.4 million tourist arrivals, both domestic and international, via the existing Clark airport, during the first seven months of the year.

With the opening of the new terminal by next year, some 12 million passengers per year are expected to arrive via Clark airport.

The country’s hosting of the 30th SEA Games also gave a big boost to the tourism industry in the region, particularly the Clark Freeport and Subic Freeport, which hosted some sporting events.

Increased tourist arrivals in Subic due to its cruise tourism program were also noted in 2019.

From January to October, 15 cruise ship arrivals in Subic generated 38,985 visitors and an income of PHP8.07 million.

SBMA chairman and administrator Wilma Eisma said the Subic agency has already listed 38 confirmed cruise ship arrivals and two tentative bookings next year.

“These arrivals will serve to provide additional income to the Subic community, as well as neighboring areas that cruise passengers visit upon arrival in Subic," Eisma said.

Investments and job generation

The growing economy of the region was also boosted by the good performance of the three freeports in the region -- Subic, Clark and the Freeport Area of Bataan (FAB).

Steady growth in investments in the first half of the year has increased the number of workers in Subic Freeport to 135,224 despite the closure in January of what used to be the single biggest employer in the past 10 years, the Hanjin shipyard.

Figures from the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) indicated a slight increase in this year’s first-half employment figure of 135,224 over the 133,940 recorded in the same period last year.

“We’re back to more than 135,000 active workers now, which is just a shade lower than our 2018 yearend record of 135,690. But by the end of this year, we are confident that we would again break this 2018 employment record,” Eisma said.

Meanwhile, the SBMA has approved new investment projects worth PHP4.48 billion in the first half of the year, eclipsing by 42 percent last year’s new investment record of PHP3.15 billion for the same period.

Likewise, investments in Clark Freeport are increasing with 54 new locators and an additional workforce of 5,295 in the first seven months of the year.

As a result, Clark now has a total of 1,092 locators from 1,038 companies. The number of workers here also grew to a total of 128,268 as of the first semester of 2019 from 122,973 employees last year.

Clark Freeport has also been cited as "sports tourism destination of the year” by the Philippine Sports Tourism Awards (PSTA) for hosting more than 200 events since last year that included fun runs, marathons, triathlons, duathlons, games such as football and baseball, cycling and other sports-related activities.

Aside from this, Clark is also a preferred destination for Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibits (MICE).

The FAB, on the other hand, has recorded a new high in terms of the number of direct workers, which is projected to reach 46,000 by the end of the year.

As of October 2019, the number grew to 45,020 compared to 12,777 when FAB took over from the Bataan Economic Zone in 2010.

“We are proud of the rate of regularization in employment going on in FAB enterprises. From about 5,000 regular workers in 2010, there are now 26,760 regulars or 57 percent of the present total number of workers,” FAB chairman Emmanuel Pineda said.

Economic outlook for 2020

The year 2020 is seen to be another good year for Central Luzon’s economy.

The continuous implementation of massive infrastructure projects in the region is expected to stimulate business activities in the region.

Tarlac Governor and Central Luzon Growth Corridor Foundation, Inc. (CLGCFI) president Susan Yap said that with its strategic location as the gateway to Asia, accessibility to three international airports, expanding infrastructure facilities, and the highly-anticipated full development of the New Clark City, Central Luzon is strengthening its position as one of the most dynamic investment destinations in the country.

“We believe that the Central Luzon, as the third biggest region in the country in terms of population, has the most potential and untapped resources. Thus, we continuously seek new platforms to showcase this vast potential of our region for development,” she said. (PNA)

April 17th

Y/n POV:

It was the near beginning of spring. This morning I was driving to my new store that needs to be set up. As I pulled up to my soon to be open store. I park my car as my phone goes off and I pick it up to see who was calling me.

“Great it’s her”

I sighed since it was my mother who was calling me. I never got along with my own mother as she was very strict, pushy and never let me have fun when I was just a kid. My breaking point was when she wouldn’t let me decide my future cause she wanted me to be a doctor or a lawyer. “Let's get this over with” I grumble to myself as I answer the call to see what my annoying mother wants. “Is there a reason why you are calling me?” I waited to hear what my mother had to say since all I heard on the other side  of the phone were just random noises. After about a minute of quiet, mother  just cussed me out then hung up. "That was something?" Putting my phone away as I got out of the car to go meet the old owner. "There they are, I hope your trip wasn't too terrible was it?" Denise, the old store owner said as she welcomed me inside the empty building. "Other than traffic being a bitch, it wasn't too terrible" I scratched the back of my head as I looked around the empty shop.

"Well I hope you make good use of this place, it would be great to see it be alive again" Denise smiled softly as she handed me the keys to the place. As she was chatting with me, she showed me where my new home will be. "I hope this will be as satisfying as a home and a shop" I smiled softly and nodded my head as I looked around the apartment. It was perfect to me as I can live how I want while I start my dream shop soon. "It's perfect, thank you for letting me have the place as I know it was precious to you" Denise chuckled softly and waved me off as she said that she was more than happy that it was in better hands now.

When Denise left me alone to my new home. I looked outside to see that a mover truck was waiting for me as it was now time to get unpacking. "Alright here to a new start" I said to myself as I headed outside to get help from the movers starting moving in my boxes and furniture.

It took about 20 minutes to have all of my belongings in the apartment once the movers left. Now here was the first day of me getting not only my apartment ready and set but I also have to start working on doing some repaint and design to the shop. I started my apartment first as I didn't have much to do and it was just me living here.

"Let's see, my living room is set, my bedroom is almost done and the kitchen is ready whenever I get hungry" I was nice to have my own place away from my toxic mother. As I carried over my last box to the bedroom. I looked out the window to see that I was next to a bar. "Celestial Light Bar, that is an interesting name for a bar" I chuckled softly as I started unpacking the box that had the rest of my belongings in. After I finished unpacking everything, I went to take a little break and layed in my new bed I bought.

"I'll start working on the shop tomorrow, I'm too tired to work on it today" I closed my eyes and relaxed a bit. I didn't realize that I ended up falling asleep. It was a long day for me because I didn't know that I was this tired.

April 18th

Beep beep beep

Hearing my phone alarm going off. I whine at the loud noise as I turn off the noisy phone. After a moment or two, I opened my eyes to see that I was in my new room. "So it wasn't a dream" I sighed in relief as I sat up and stretched.

As I got up and headed over to my dresser to get some clothes to change into. I jumped when I heard a loud slam open as I looked outside. A guy was thrown out of the bar as I watch to see a red like Moon bot came out of bar and crosses it metal arms. “This is interesting” As I watched what was happening, I could tell that the man must be totally wasted by how he staggered to get up. Soon as the guy started to yell at the animatronic that looks like he doesn’t give a damn.

“Go Home and sober up”

I was slightly surprised by the sound of this animatronic voice. A rough deep voice as it coldly tells the customer to leave was hot in my opinion. The man flipped the bot off as he staggered away while the bot turned around to head inside. Before it moved, my eyes widened as it turned its head towards my direction and looked at me. I held my breath as it stared before giving me a simple smile as it went inside the bar.

“I…okay then?” Shaking my head a bit, I went back over and got dressed as I grabbed the keys. Once that happened, I left my apartment and locked it as I headed to my car to head to the store. “Alright, let go get those paints and brushes as I can get started repainting the store's walls” I said to myself as I started to car and drove to the store.

After some time passed, I got what I needed and headed back to my place. Parking my car, I got out and went to my trunk and opened it to see the two paint cans I bought and a few bags with brushes and other things in it. “Let's get these inside and set up so I can start painting” I grabbed the bags first and hung them in on my arms while I grabbed two paint cans and shut my trunk as I headed over to the door.

As I place the paint cans down. I tried to get my keys to unlock the door but I ended up dropping them. “*Sighs* This is my luck” As I crouch down to pick up my keys. I look to see another animatronic outside of the bar cleaning the windows as if it was like a sun but more of an eclipse look. “Take a picture, it’ll last much longer” The animatronic said as it stopped and looked at me. “Oh i'm sorry, I just happened to look and saw you and was surprised” I said quickly getting up as I fumble around to get the right key to unlock the door quickly. “Sure I’ll believe that” The animatronic chuckled softly as it was about to go back to work but then stopped for a moment. “You're not from around here are you sir/ma’am?” I shook my head as I found the key and unlocked the shop's door.

“I just moved here yesterday” I said to the bot as I gathered the paint can’s and opened the door. Before I headed in, I turned to the animatronic and waved goodbye to them. “Well it’s nice to know you… Eclipse” The animatronic said as I tilted my head in confusion. “Eclipse is my name” Eclipse said as he went back to cleaning the windows. “I see, well I’ll see you around then Eclipse” I said to him as I headed inside the shop and closed the door before I set everything down onto the floor. “Alright time to start painting!” 

45 minutes later

“Alright the first coat of paint is now on, got to let it dry before I put on another coat of paint” I sighed softly and went over to crack the door open to let the paint smell out so it can dry quicker. As I took a seat onto the ground and looked around. I started to think about what to do since it was gonna be a bit til the paint dries. “Hmm maybe having a look at the bar next door wouldn’t hurt since I got nothing better to do right now” Getting up and looking at myself to see how bad I need to change. I went up to my apartment and took a quick shower while I got new clothes to wear for the rest of the day.

Once I was ready, I grabbed my keys and headed out the door as I locked it then headed to the bar next door. As I opened the door and walked inside. I was amazed by the celestial theme and how big it was as there were a lot of people here. Looking around while I walked over to the bar, I stopped to not just see one but five different animatronics. Eclipse and the red moon looking one was amongst the five with another sun like animatronic and two moon like ones.

“Sunny, we have another customer!” The light blue moon animatronic said as he looked at me with a cute smile. The sun animatronic looked to see me and smiled as the rays on its head danced around happily. “Your right Lunar, go welcome them!” The Sun animatronic said as the one named Lunar came over to where I was and greeted me with a bright smile.

“Welcome sir/ma’am, we hope you enjoy yourself here at celestial light” Lunar said as he guided me over to the bar where the other four were standing. “I see that we meet again sir/ma’am” Eclipse said with a soft chuckle as the red moon animatronic did the same as the moon and Sun animatronics turned to look at the both of them. “You know them Eclipse” The Moon animatronic said as Eclipse shook his head and turned to look at me. “Their our new neighbor next door” Eclipse said as he got down and pulled something out from the bottom and placed a menu in front of me. “A new neighbor, how exciting to hear!” The Sun animatronic said as he held his hand out to me.

“I’m Sun but you can call me sunny, these four are Eclipse that you met already, Lunar who just greeted you, Moon my twin brother and lastly BloodMoon” Sun introduced me to everyone as we shook hands. “I’m Y/n, I just moved here yesterday” I said smiling softly before I looked at the menu that Eclipse gave me not that long ago. “So you're very much a newbie in this town” Moon said as I nodded my head and looked at each of the animatronics. This was the first time I had an actual full on conversation with live animatronics. “So you're all bartenders huh?” I placed the menu down for now as everyone nodded their heads.

“Very popular ones to say the least” BloodMoon spoke as he leaned against the counter and grinned at me proudly. “I see, so what kind of drinks do y'all make?” I ask them personally even tho I could have looked at the menu. “Well sir/ma’am, each of us have our own theme drinks that are special to just your usual normal every day drink you can think of and more” Sun smirks as he places his elbows on the counter and leans against his hand before giving me a wink.

“Really huh, well then I would like to try on of those special drinks if you don’t mind~”

July 3rd

Moon POV:

It’s the day before the 4th of July. The guys and I were getting ready for tomorrow since the holidays were our most busy days. The place was decorated thanks to Y/n in suggesting what would look nice for the bar even tho it was just for one day. Speaking of Y/n, when they brought Sun and Lunar back after they ordered our flowers and Y/n left. Sun and Lunar told all of us when the place was closed that Y/n was being treated poorly and threatened.

“Telling by the look on your face, you're still thinking of what Sun and Lunar told us about Rose's condition” Bloodmoon spoke and being the one who has a very short temper didn’t help my case. “What do you think, it’s pretty obvious that anyone could get mean at the thought of a people getting treated poorly over something stupid” My bitter tone spoke as Bloodmoon nodded his head while he was done wiping down the table closest to me. “I don’t like it either but we can’t meddle in as much as I would love to show the people who are treating rose poorly a lesson or two” Bloodmoon walked over and placed his hand on my shoulder.

“What are you two talking about now?”

Eclipse, who came out of the kitchen walked over to where Bloodmoon and I were. “It’s nothing about you Eclipse” Eclipse glared as he wasn’t pleased with my answer but then Lunar spoke up from afar. “Moon is frustrated about Y/n condition from three weeks ago” Oh how I want to struggle him for speaking out for me.

“I don’t blame Moon for how he feels, I would be too when sunflower is innocent and trying to go on with their lives” Sun spoke and Eclipse sighed since he now understood everything. When Eclipse was about to say something. All of us froze when we heard a loud shatter which sounded like it came from next door. Even the customers froze in surprise when the five of us quickly went outside to see what had happened. All of us were surprised when Y/n window to their shop was shattered while a loud argument was going on inside.

Eclipse POV:

“I demand the money right now or I’ll break something else of yours!” Hearing a woman yell in anger. I quickly peeked in to see a woman in her mid 40’s with some slightly fancy clothes slamming her hands on Y/n counter. “One of you four call the police now, this looks like it’s gonna get ugly” I tell the guys behind me and Sun went to quickly phone the police as I was keeping an eye on Y/n and this crazy woman.

“For the last time, I am not gonna do it. This is my shop, my money and your demands aren’t going to get you anywhere” Y/n said angrily at the woman before I witnessed Y/n getting clawed in the face. I was about to step in to apprehend this woman as she grabbed one of Y/n flower pots. Y/n quickl;y pulled out I’m guessing pepper spray and sprayed the woman with it.

“My eyes!” The woman screamed as she clutched at her sprayed eyes. I quickly moved in with Moon as we headed over to Y/n. “You alright Y/n?!” Moon was busy apprehending the woman while I was checking on Y/n badly scratched face.  “I’m alright Eclipse, this is nothing really” Y/n said covering the wound while all of us heard sirens outside the shop. “Bitch/Bastard, How dare you call the police” The woman yelled as she tried to break free from Moon hold on her.

Y/n POV:

Seeing the police entering the shop and taking over Moon spot. Another police came over and started to question us on what was going on. I had to explain the harassment and the damage my mother did while telling them all the things she did til this day. “We’ll need you to come with us to file this report and so we can have your statement on record” The policeman asked and I told them I'll go down once I get my shop situated first.

“Do you want some help cleaning the shop up? '' Moon offered after the police took my mother away in the police car. I was already stressed enough that I didn’t want to argue and nodded my head. “I’ll send Bloodmoon over to help in a bit, just take it easy and get the wound of yours clean up” I nodded my head again as Moon and Eclipse left for a moment while I looked outside to see a crowd staring. I didn’t like the attention the scene caused as it was very uncomfortable to me. As I went over to turn my sign to close, I saw moon and BloodMoon walking over with a broom and dustpan along with a trash bag and a tarp for my window I’m guessing.

“Thank you guys, even tho this didn’t involve you” It was nice to have some people care even if they are animatronics  but I didn’t care about that. “It’s the least we can do to help out, now let's not stall before someone gets hurt” Bloodmoon said as we started to clean the place and the glass that was from my shop's window. Once the place got clean up and everything was put away, Moon was attending to my wound while Bloodmoon was getting the tarp up and covering the broken window.

“You sure you're going to be alright orchid, you've been quiet for a little bit” Moon asked when he placed the bandage over my treated wound. I only just cast my eyes down as I was disappointed in myself. I felt pathetic for not dealing with my mother sooner.

“I just need time to myself is all” 

I gave Moon my fake smile to hopefully have him think I was alright so he didn’t have to worry about me. Moon placed a hand on my head and lightly patted it before he went over to Bloodmoon and helped him out with the tarp. When they were done, they left after checking on me one last time as I looked at the time.

I packed everything up for the day as I headed down to the police station to file a report. It took about half an hour and it felt longer because I could hear my mother in the background begging to be released and so on. “Alright miss/mr L/n, you're free to go and if anything else happens then do call alright” The policeman said as I only nodded my head.

Leaving the station and heading back to my place. I just went straight into my apartment and wasn’t gonna bother the rest of the day. I was so tired and stressed that I just wanted to either relax in a hot bath or crawl into my warm bed. “This is the most shitty day I have ever dealt with” I mumble to myself even tho I was alone in my apartment. I wish I had someone who would comfort me at my time of need

I didn’t want to go over to the celestial bar to bother the guys there since they have enough people to deal with. I went to my room and changed before I layed on my bed and started at the ceiling. In my bedroom all alone, my vision started to blur as I bit my lip since I was trying to contain my sobbing. But I couldn’t contain my tears as they just poured down my face.

“I hate my life”

June 12th

Lunar POV:

It’s been two almost three months since our next door neighbor Y/n has been getting some customers every now and then. I was over at the shop a couple of times to chat and see what the bar could use as a decoration. Today I was going over to the shop today with Sun so we could make some orders as we agreed upon some summer-like flowers. 

“We’ll be back guys, we’re going to make those orders with Y/n” I called out to the others as Sun was next to me when I did it. Moon gave us the thumbs up before going back to work as Eclipse was busy wiping down the tables and BloodMoon was dealing with customers. As Sun and I left the bar and went over to Y/n’s shop next door. Both Sun and I were surprised when we saw Y/n being yelled at by a customer. “What the fuck do you mean that you ran out of the golden roses, I just saw them here yesterday and now your out!” The person yelling at Y/n was a female and Y/n look was trying to calm the woman down.

“I’m sorry ma’am, the last few customers here bought them but I can order more if you wait for a little bit” Y/n spoke as they were trying not to get annoyed by the customer behavior. “Don’t you think you're behaving poorly like a child miss” Sun spoke up as Y/n and the woman turned their attention towards our direction.  “What did you say you metal freak!” The woman said and my eyes twitched at the name calling. “N-Now now everyone, we can solve this out peacefully. Ma’am if you want some of the roses you need to make an order so I can get them sent here as soon as possible” Y/n spoke as they were trying to calm the situation down which I don’t blame them for. The woman turned to y/n and cussed them out for their lack of service before barging out of the shop.

Y/n POV:

When the customer left, I let out a sigh since this was the third person who came and complained about something that was purchased before them. Today was already rough enough having to restock the shelves and making new orders when people buy a large bundle of my products. “You alright Iris?” Lunar asked when he and Sun came up to my register and I nodded my head. “I’m alright guys, not the first time someone complains to me like that” I wasn’t gonna tell them how others tried to threaten me or steal something without pay. “You seem stressed sunflower” Sun said, but I lightly waved it off since I didn’t want to worry them.

“It’s alright, I was gonna go on break soon but for now what can I do for the two of you?” I know Lunar has come by a few to check out my shop and all but seeing Sun here was new. “We came over and were wondering if we could order some summer-like theme flowers for the bar” I was surprised a little that they would want to order from here since their place was pretty already. “Do you have in mind what flowers you want?” Sun reached into his pocket and pulled out I’m guessing a list before handing it to me. Taking a look at it, I see that there were only four kinds of flowers they thought of: Sunflowers, Tiger lilies, Roses and Orchids.

“Alright I can see what I can do about these, is there anything else you two need or is that all” When Lunar looked around the shop to see what I had. “I believe that all for now, what about you Sun?” Sun being new here, went looking around while Lunar and I waited for him. “So how is your guys business going, I saw that it has been packed in there a few times I came over to visit” Which was true and everything I came over to just check on the guys. I would see them all over the place serving the customers without a break on their end.

“It going alright, a lot of customers makes us money so I can’t really complain”

He had a point but I was still a little concerned for their well beings. “Must be nice to have a popular bar for people to go to” Lunar shrugged his shoulders before he turned his attention towards me as I looked up at his pretty blue eyes. “It’s nice til it gets boring and tiresome, believe me it’s not really anything spectacular being popular” Lunar said as he sighed at the thought of endless work and how annoying it was  having to deal with so many people. When I was about to say something, I heard the first door chime go off with a loud slam door open. I quickly moved to see who was here that was so rude til I froze in shock.

It was my own mother here but how. “Finally I found you” My mother said bitterly and I had a big feeling as to why she is here and not where she belongs. “You are aware that if you break something, you're going to have to pay for it ma’am” I crossed my arms while Lunar and Sun watched. “I don’t have to pay you anything you little shit, now give me what I came here for or do you need some more lessons” I thought so and sighed before I pulled out my cell phone. “You have 5 seconds to leave before I call the police and have you arrested” I wasn’t going to play around with her, if she wanted money so much then she can work to earn it then demand it from me.

“I would listen to what they say ma’am, this isn’t the first time they have called the police” Lunar said in a serious tone which I had never seen before as he and Sun stood behind me. Mother wasn’t sure whether to believe his bluff or not. When I started to count down, my mother just stood there til I reached zero. “I would leave now if I were you” Sun spoke as he placed a hand on my shoulder.

My own mother growled in anger as she turned to leave. “Watch your back cause this isn’t over yet” She yelled out as she left my store. Once I fully knew that she was gone, I put my phone back into my pocket as Lunar and Sun looked at me concerned. “Who was that woman?” Lunar asked and I sighed as I turned to face both of them.

“That was my Mother”

Telling them who she was made Sun and Lunar speechless as they looked at each other. “Sunflower, why is your mother threatening you like that?” I understand their confusion since they don’t know my past. “It’s a long story Sunny, it best not to worry about it right now” I said while Lunar and Sun seemed not to be pleased by my answer but just let it go for now.

“Don’t you guys have to go back by now?” I spoke which caused Lunar and Sun to freeze in their spots. I assumed that they had forgotten that they still had work to do. “Shoot, Eclipse is gonna have our heads” Sun rays shrink in fear as he and Lunar try to run out but I grabbed their hands. “Easy there guys, let me walk over with you two so I can explain why you two are late” Lunar and Sun sighed in relief before nodding their heads as I grabbed what I needed and put a sign up saying that I was on a break.

As we left my shop and headed over to the bar. My assumptions were correct when the three of us entered to see an annoyed Moon and Eclipse. BloodMoon was finishing serving a customer before walking over where the rest of us were at.

“Care to explain why you two were late to come back” 

Sun and Lunar suddenly hid behind me. “Take it easy on them clipsy, it was my fault for distracting them” Eclipse turned his attention to me as he gave me a certain look before sighing. “You two get to work before I change my mind of letting you two off the hook” Sun and Lunar ran off to the kitchen as the three in front of me shook their heads. “Sorry about that guys” I do feel bad for them since today looks like it was one of those days that the place is packed.

“It’s alright lily, just don’t make it a habit”

April 24th

Y/n POV:

A week since I have gone over and visited the celestial light bar. It was an interesting time since it was the first time in like 3 years since I had any kind of freedom to have fun. When I went over to the bar for the first time and met the bartenders there. I didn’t expect to stay long after the first time I tried out one of Sun’s special drinks. Luckily I didn’t stay long to get drunk but long enough to get to know the guys which honestly felt refreshing.

Today I was getting my shop ready as everything I ordered came in today. After I got the shelves stock up and the plants that were ready to be transferred to the windows. I looked around to see how amazing it looked after getting everything situated and done. “I’m very much grateful that Denise gave me this place, if it wasn’t for her then I would be searching for quite some time to find a decent place” I said to myself as I looked outside to see how busy the street was today. Heading over and grabbing two small flower pots that had my favorite flower, I placed them on the main count with one on each end. “Well this is cute for a flower shop” I Jumped in surprise when I heard a voice behind me. Turning around quickly, I saw BloodMoon standing at the entrance of my shop as he looked around the place. “BloodMoon? What brings you here” I asked while BloodMoon came over to the counter where I was standing. “Just came by to see how the progress of your shop is going and to give you this” BloodMoon reached into his dark gray dress pants and pulled out an envelope as he handed it to me.

“What is it?”

I looked at BloodMoon confused as he shrugged his shoulders and just leaned against my counter. “Don’t know but I was told to give it to you” Even more confused on what he meant. I opened the envelope to see an invitation from the Celestial Light Bar which caused me to look at BloodMoon. “Are you guys holding a party or something?” BloodMoon just shrugs his shoulders before going around my shop that wasn’t even open yet. “The others thought of holding an event and everyone who receives an invitation from any of us is allowed to come to the event” BloodMoon mentions as he turns towards my direction while light touches one of the plants near the windows.

“Okay? So when is this event happening?” I asked while putting the invite in my pocket so I didn’t lose it. “Next Saturday at 8 PM” BloodMoon answered without hesitation as he pushed off my counter and walked over to the window and looked outside. “Next Saturday huh, is it a formal event cause I’m not really the type to wear dresses really” I said jokingly since it was true that I didn’t really care to wear anything formal to the event. Since no one really invites me to go unless my annoying mother drags me to one. “It’s just mostly casual so no formal going on at least for a while” I guessed that he and the others had done formal events.

“Well I’ll see what is going on next week if I have plans or not. But other than that, is there something you would like from here or was coming by and handing me an invitation for today?” As much as I would like to continue my conversation with BloodMoon but I had to get ready to open my store. “Chasing me out already rose” BloodMoon said jokingly which had me softly glare at him. I then stopped when I realized that BloodMoon just gave me a nickname that caused me to blush a little.

“Rose huh”

BloodMoon chuckled as he nodded his head. “You remind me of a pretty red rose” BloodMoon explains before he heads to the front door.  Before he left my shop, BloodMoon turned back around and gave me his cheeky grin. “See you around rose” BloodMoon then left, leaving me speechless for the first time.

“These animatronics are gonna be the death of me”

I chuckled softly to myself as I went over and flipped the sign to ‘Open’. The morning was slow but nice for the first day of the shop being open. As the afternoon came around and it was basically my lunch time. I decided to skip it for the day since I just wanted to get at least enough sales for the day before it was closing time. When the last customer left with their purchase, I went over to close the shop since it was now around 6 PM. “A lot of people have came today which is a surprise” I was satisfied with today's results as I was grabbing a broom and started to sweep the floors. Once I cleaned up the place, I looked at the flowers that I had and thought about the Celestial light bar. “I wonder if they would like the flowers I have here” I put the broom away and dealt with the money before grabbing the plants I was gonna give to the bar next door and locked up the shop.

Heading over to the bar, I held the plants in one arm while I opened the door with the other. When I got inside and looked around, I saw that all the guys were doing something with customers as there were a lot then before. “Wow, they sure are popular” I chuckled softly while I walked over to the bar and placed the flower on the counter.

“I see that you have came back here again huh miss/sir L/N” I heard as I looked to see Moon in front of me while looking at what was in front of him. “I just came by and was dropping these off. '' I smiled softly as Moon slightly moved the flowers. “What's the occasion?” Moon turned his attention towards me as I shrugged my shoulders even tho it was mostly meant as a gift. “It be a gift for the drink and the invitation you guys gave me” Moon chuckled softly after hearing that statement from me as the other soon came over and saw what all our commotion about. “What’s going on here?” Lunar ask confused. Sunny looked and squealed excited as he quickly took the flowers I brought into his hands. “Looks like we have received a gift from our sunflower” Sun said as his rays danced around his head happily.

“It’s not that great of a gift” I felt a little embarrassed since Sun was making the gift I gave them a huge deal. “I wouldn’t say that lily, It’s the thought that counts that we appreciate” Eclipse says with a pleasant smirk as Lunar nodded his head happily. I realized something, Both Sun and Eclipse gave nicknames of a plant like BloodMoon did which made my heart skip a beat.

“You alright there Iris, your kind quiet there all of the sudden” Lunar said as he lightly placed a hand on my shoulder. “I’m fine Lunar, I just glad you guys like the gift is all” I gave Lunar a reassuring smile to not worry him even tho his nickname for me was cute like the others. “Was that all you came to do Orchid, or did you want to spend time with us” Moon said teasingly which caused me to blushed a bit as I softly glared at him.

“You guys would like that wouldn’t you”

“That’s right Orchid”

I was a little surprised by Moon’s response as he let out a cheeky smile. I looked at the time and thought of it since I haven’t eaten anything yet. “Hmm if I do, would you treat me to dinner~” I said to all of them as they too were a little surprised before smiling/grinning at my offering. “Why of course rose” BloodMoon said as he quickly left to head to the kitchen. Lunar escorted me to a seat as Eclipse yet again handed me a menu but this one was different from the last time I was here.

“We hope you enjoy your time here lily”
