The next day...
"Hey Dad?" Peedee said, coming down the stairs for breakfast. "What is it, son?" Mr. Fryman said, cooking up some Tater Tots. "Steven asked me to go with him to Empire City, is it ok if i go?" Peedee asked. "Of course you can, son! Just be back before next week, ok?" Mr. Fryman said. "Thanks, Dad!" Peedee said, rushing upstairs to start packing.
Later that day, Peedee was waiting on Steven in the van.
"Alright be safe! Let me know if you meet any GIRLS out there!" Mr. Fryman said, waving. Peedee waved, and cringed when his dad wasnt looking. Then he heard the van.
"Hey buddy!" Steven said, opening the door. "You can put your stuff in the back." he said. Peedee did, and got inside. Peedee was happy to see Steven's face. It was gonna be him and Steven...with Connie of course. As long as Steven was happy, so was Peedee.
As they drove off, Mr. Fryman waved at them through the living room window.
"Well, here we go!" Peedee said as they turned onto the highway.
The drive was about 5 hours long. They both decided that the three of them would go out and get something to eat together, As they were pretty hungry when they finally arrived in Empire City. The bright lights of the city completely mesmorised Peedee. "Wow..." Peedee said, looking around through the window. "Where do you think Connie is?" Peedee asked. "She said she's at the Chifiester Hotel, which is the middle of town." Steven said, plugging the name into his GPS. On the way there, Steven stopped at a store, and grabbed a box of chocolates. "Oh wow." Peedee said, looking at the box.
As they turned onto main street where the hotel was, Steven was excited. Peedee was happy for him, too. Steven pulled over on the other side of the street so the van wasnt noticeable. The front door of the hotel opened, and Connie came out.
"There she is!" Steven yelled. He reached in the back to grab the box of chocolates. But before he got out, Peedee noticed something. "Wait, Steven...she looks like she's waiting for someone..." he said. "Huh?" Steven said, watching her. Then, a car pulled up next to her. Connie smiled and got inside. "What the..." Steven said while shifting the van into drive mode. He followed the car, and they stopped at a diner. "No..." Steven said while clenching his gem. Connie and the man got out, and they held hands and walked inside. Steven was heartbroken. But then, he pulled out his phone, and took a picture of Connie and the guy in the diner together. Then he drove off.
"Well aint this a son of a bitch..." Peedee said. He looked over at Steven. Steven had tears coming down his face. "I can't belive this..." Steven said. He had no idea that she was doing this. She was cheating on him, and he saw it with his own eyes.
The van sped up. Steven kept crying, paying less and less attention to the road. "Steven..." Peedee said, warning him. Peedee's voice faded from Steven's head. To him, he was the only one in the car. "STEVEN! LOOK OUT!" Peedee yelled, bringing him back to reality. They almost crashed into a car in front of them. "Steven..." Peedee said, looking at him. He put his hand on Steven's shoulder.
"Let me drive...ok?"
