A/N: Hey guys, First of all let me thank you for the little but important support you all have given me, as you can see I am still in the process of writing Rose`s Letters, but recently I`ve noticed that my writing on that story has turned out pretty weak so I am taking a short break from that. Hope you all enjoy this new story.
"Alright! Final boss!" Steven placed his eyes on the T.V. he had been playing the brand new videogame, inspired by the book series of "Unfamiliar familiar", for the past 48 hours straight because Connie had challenged him for a competition to see who would finish the game first.
"Now I just have to use the shining arrow and this dude will give me the key to save princess Apple!" Steven was determined to win this challenge, after all, the wager was that the one who finished second would have to buy the ice cream they planned to get this weekend.
"YES" Steven shouted as hard as he could, at last, all of the frustration the game caused him was gone in a poof. Steven rushed to the phone to call Connie, so he could tell her he had just finished the game, but just as he reached it, the phone began to ring and indicated it was Connie; Steven felt a nod in his stomach and hesitated to decide if he would pick up the phone or not.
Finally he gave up, he picked up the phone and put it in his ear. "HA" A girly voice could be heard "I beat you didn`t I?" Steven opened his mouth to protest but was immediately silenced as Connie continued to talk.
"I have been awake, playing none stop, the whole weekend! And I know it is a little bit extreme but I really wanted to win this challenge!" Connie waited for a response from Steven but heard nothing.
Steven, astonished, tried to figure out what just happened, he was so tired and sleepy he could barely open his eyes, and Connie`s screams weren`t helping at all. "Hello?" Connie tried to reach Steven once more, this time in a calmer tone, "AH! Connie! I was literally about to call you!" Connie gave a small laugh and said "That is why you must have the phone right next to you! You never know when you`re going to need it!"
As Steven and Connie carried on with their little chat, the door that could lead to different parts of the temple opened up. Pearl came out of it and screamed at the horrifying scenario that developed right in front of her.
Potato chips` bags all over the floor, Steven`s bed was upside down, and the seagull was able to return at Steven`s room. "STEVEN!" Pearl cried at the little boy across the room.
The little boy jumped in surprise to see Pearl standing behind him, he saw her expression of frustration and decided it was best for him to hang up and give his attention to Pearl.
"Connie, I`ll call you back..." Steven`s voice cracked in fear, he hanged up the phone and directed to Pearl. "Heyyy Peaaarl..."
"WHAT IS THIS STEVEN? Your whole room is a mess!" Pearl screamed in exasperation, not noticing the bags that formed around Steven`s eyes. "I told you to clean this room up 24 hours ago!"
Steven looked at Pearl`s finger, then looking at the dump that he once called a room. It was the first time Steven contemplated the terrible conditions he was living in.
"And look at you! You are a mess as well! When was the last time you took a shower?" Steven stopped to think for a second and asked Pearl "Does Lion`s licks count?" Immediately Pearl locked a horrified look on Steven signalling him that was a negative.
Blocking her nose of the horrible scent coming from Steven, Pearl took Steven to his bathroom and locked him n "You are not getting out of here until you are shining clean mister!"
Steven tried to convince Pearl of letting him out but the door wouldn`t budge. Connie would have to wait.
