Before you say, "Hey! This is a copy of Coraline!" Yes, I know. This was done on purpose. I wanted to have a Coraline/Steven Universe story for a while, but no one did it. So I'm doing it myself. Enjoy!
Steven was moving. Yay. He had been living with his parents, Rose and Greg, for a while in Beach City. Eventually, Greg got a job as a car mechanic in a new city, and had to relocate to Portland, Oregon. The drive wasn't very long, but it wasn't really interesting. As they drove, Steven wondered what kind of things were in Portland. Maybe there was an amusement park. Maybe there was a fry shop. Maybe there was a...DONUT SHOP! Steven was happily looking out the car window, hoping to see one of these things, but then the rain started. And did not stop. The van stopped, though. They were at their new home.
Steven looked at the rusty metal sign in front of the building, and it said, Portland Apartment. Steven thought it was odd that there wasn't an s after apartment, but then he saw a sad little s on the ground. Steven looked at the so called apartments, and saw that it was what seemed to be one house. It was a very old house, sitting in a field on the outskirts of the big city. It's paint was probably washed away by years of rain. Greg said as he was getting the stuff out of the van, "Now, Steven, I know that it doesn't look all that great, but we can get used to it." Steven nodded and said,"Yeah! I hope I can find a friend around here and at my new school!" Rose smiled and rustled his hair. "That's the spirit!" She said. They walked onto their large porch, and opened the door.
Inside, the apartment was little run down. The ceiling was a bit leaky. The floor was rugged and creaky. The main foyer had a slight mildew smell. Greg and Rose were a little disappointed. The pictures on craigslist looked good...
