Peedee was coming out of his late shift at Suitcase Sam's.
The night was cold and dark. Peedee was only guided by the streetlights to the beach. But as he walked, he felt a presence behind him. He quickly turned around and saw...
"Steven!" Peedee happily said, hugging his boyfriend. "Hey! I thought I would come pick you up after work."
"Thanks." Peedee said, wrapping his arm around Steven's arm. Then, they walked to the house together.
All of a sudden, both of them heard Sadie screaming. "Sadie!" They both yelled, running to the spot.
A corrupted gem monster, was hanging over Sadie, about to attack. "Someone help!" She screamed. Then, Steven's shield hit the monster. "Steven?" Sadie happily said, getting up and running to him. The corrupted gem ran behind her, but Steven blocked with his shield before it could attack again. Peedee tried to help by grabbing a large stick and attacking. Unfortunately, the monster grew 3 tentacles and picked him up. Then it threw him in a dumpster. "Oh No!" Steven yelled, pushing back harder. With the force of the push, the monster went back into a wall. Steven summoned 2 shields and threw them at an angle, cutting the skin of the monster, poofing it.
As Steven bubbled it away, Sadie came behind him and hugged him. "Thanks for saving me! Free donuts tommorow!" She said. "Alright!" Steven said, throwing his fist in the air. Sadie looked around. "Wait...where's Peedee?" She asked. As if on cue, They heard the dumpster banging. They ran to him, and helped him out of the dumpster. "Oh god...ewww..." Peedee said, scraping garbage juice off of him.
"I'm gonna need a bath..." Peedee said, sadly smiling at Steven.
As Sadie went home, she waved goodbye at them.
Walking into the house, Peedee immediately turned on the water, and let it run. Outside the bathroom door, he heard Steven and Gems talking, possibly about the gem monster he caught. Then the conversation faded, and it was quiet.
Letting the hot, bubbly water soak into his skin, Peedee became lost in his thoughts. His brother, his dad, and just where his life was going in general. Could he possibly be as good as Connie in a fight? Will they ever fuse? Will Connie come back to Beach City?
His thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the bathroom door.
