Maya takes the coin to try and make herself a superhero.

"Why would you need to be a lawyer and put bad guys in jail after they do bad things, when you can be a superhero and stop the bad guys from doing bad things in the first place?" Maya asked as though she was saying the most obvious thing ever, but Phoenix's head was still spinning from the whole discovery of real magic and turning into a waitress a minute ago.

"Maya, there's no need to complicate things, I just...have to act like myself and I'll turn back...I hope."

"But then things will be back to normal! I can show you how things can be even better! Just watch Nick! Spirit Saphire Samurai Channeling Justice away!" And with that Maya swiped the coin from Phoenix's hands and ran off. "Maya! Wait, I need that!" And Phoenix left the back room and tried to chase after Maya but a soft yet firm hand grabbed Phoenix's shoulder to stop him. "Oh mademoiselle, you still must work off mademoiselle Fey's bill since she has already left." The large and pink clad owner and chef of the Tres Bien restaurant Jean Armstrong had a grip on Phoenix's shoulder and wasn't letting go.

A voice in the back of Phoenix's head said, 'It's very rude and unprofessional for a waitress to leave before her shift is up.' Phoenix shook the voice off but looked at his boss for the night and said, "Yes sir." So Jean went back to the kitchen and cooked up more...delicious treats for his new waitress to serve. And serve Phoenix did. With a smile on his face that wasn't **** he carried the treys and glasses with grace and beauty that had not been there earlier in the evening. Phoenix didn't even flinch when a certain red nosed customer kept dropping his silverwear as Phoenix passed to get an up skirt look. He just smiled and acted like a professional waitress as though he'd dealt with customers like this for years. When the store finally began closing up and Phoenix had a moment to himself in the back room he said to himself, "It might be a good thing Maya took the magic golden coin with her, if I'd held onto it and kept serving I might have become a waitressing machine in both mind and body with no turning back. Man that's scary." Phoenix shuttered at the thought of wearing the orange waitress outfit for the rest of his days.

But for today he had ****. Jean was so grateful for the help that he said Phoenix could keep the outfit, what he was going to have to do anyways since his waitress outfit was his normal blue suit magically transformed and he had no backup outfit. As Phoenix left Tres Bien he began counting the cash he had made from tips. "I hope this doesn't magically go away if...no when I turn back." Phoenix said as he put the case into his purse.

But unfortunately for Phoenix, he wasn't the only one to see this. In a shadowy ally that Phoenix had to pass, a hand reached out and pulled Phoenix with him. "Give me the money girl and nobody get's hurt." Phoenix was frozen, he'd been a woman for a few hours and he was already a damsel in distress. Phoenix didn't know what to do, even if he was a guy he didn't think he could fight this guy off. Panic swept over Phoenix as he just stood paralyze before what happened next.
