Author's Note: I don't own Gino or his Harem. And I am 8 days late on this. Wonderful.
It was the quiet countryside, between Bass'ken Lake and the Port de Gambino. There were quiet gardens around the gracefully-styled, "H"-shaped mansion.
The kitchen was not quiet.
A large number of girls – as well as a few guys and several beings of somewhat ambiguous gender – milled around the enormous room, wondering why they were called there. Rychi, the founder of Gino's Harem, eventually got sick of being lost in the masses and stood on the counter.
"LADIES!" She shouted, trying to get everyone's attention.
"Excuse me?" Kal shouted back from somewhere in the crowd.
"And gentlemen," Rychi corrected herself. "Today is March fourteenth. That makes it two VERY IMPORTANT days." The members of Gino's Harem were silent, waiting for their founder to finish her thought. "It is both the fourth anniversary of Gino's Harem and Pi day."
"Miss Momo says we should give Gino pie!" Miss Momo announced, speaking in third person as she always has.
"I'd rather make him cake…" The girl known as the Freak Parade said, barely audible. Most of the Harem turned to stare at her.
Joy Grim raised an eyebrow and pointed out, "A cake on Pi day is just wrong, Freak." Freak Parade stuck her tongue out at Joy in an amazing display of maturity.
The assorted Haremites began offering suggestions about the best way to make a pie, the type and size of pie that should be sent to Gino, and other important pie-related details.
"Blueberry!" Agent Cactaur shouted.
"No, apple!" Xyrn of the Oath shouted back.
"Pumpkin!" NekoTalim cried.
"It should have a picture of Gino on it," suggested Dodogrrl. "Or a picture of me."
"An 'H' for the Harem!" snapped Iubaris Obscuru Solaris.
"Made of two Pi symbols on top of each other!" added Jayce Reinhardt.
Rychi watched the chaos continue, until…
"ENOUGH!" The members of Gino's Harem fell silent and looked at their founder. Rychi sighed, and announced, "There is only one way to settle this problem…"
"GINO! What the hell is this?!"
Gino Gambino, the apparently forgotten heir to the Gambino fortune, looked up from the book he was reading for a second, and then decided to ignore Liam. Whatever the problem was, it wasn't his.
"Seriously Gino, this isn't funny!"
Gino sighed, put down his book, and walked to the front of the house. Upon reaching his destination he was confronted by…
…Countless pie boxes and an annoyed Liam.
"That… is a lot of pie," Gino said, somewhat blankly.
"Over six hundred and sixty seven of them," Lance said from the doorway. "And one cake. Now if you could just sign here…"
As Gino signed for the delivery, Liam stared at the cakes. By the time Lance had left, Liam had found the note.
"Just a small reminder that we're still here and love you, four years and counting?" Liam read aloud. "Signed by someone named Rychi and Gino's Harem."
There was an awkward pause.
"…WHAT?!"
