The Daily Lives of The Owl Familia:
The Ball Pit Incident
Summary: YES! Steve gets his story to tell!
Timeline: You know, I just don't care at the moment.
"There was Steve, hurtling towards an unknown fate after boldly defending his superior."
"WHEEEEEE!" the loveable scout screamed as he flew through the air, seemingly without a care in the Isles.
Some of the parkgoers saw this but largely ignored the scout and went about their day. It wasn't long before he came crashing down into an attraction. A couple of small explosions happened a few seconds after Steve came down.
"What a ride!" Steve screamed excitedly and looked around. "Hey, it's the exploding Ball pit! Steve didn't get to come here because Steve was at Lilith's party!"
The loveable scout dove head-first into the pit and more explosions happened. Suddenly, Tinella Nosa came flying out of the ball pit, followed by a stream of cream and a griffin egg.
"Ahh," Steve sighed happily. "Steve needed this."
He carefully lay down in the pit and just stared up at the ceiling. He tipped a ball next to him, expecting an eye-scream sandwich to pop out. He was surprised when an orange creature with a large beak, even larger ears, and a wearing a black outfit came out.
The creature looked around the pit in confusion before it panicked slightly.
"Mesa doesn't know what mesa is doing here, but mesa doesn't want to get blowy uppy again," The creature spoke strangely.
Steve watched as the strange creature bent at the knees held up his hands and began making a strange noise as he left the area, snapping his hands as a lobster would its claws.
Even Steve was confused by this and looked at me. "The wild Steve goes huh?"
The loveable scout shrugged off his confusion a second later and went back to swimming in the pit. Over five minutes, two more balls filled with cream exploded on him, and one ball gave him a weird smell.
"Now, let Steve see if the rumors are true," the scout, holding a red ball.
He gingerly tip and the ball began to blink red. Steve's eyes somehow blinked in harmony with the ball's blinking and he realized what was about to happen.
"Oops, bad one," Steve commented rather casually and then threw it.
The ball soared out of the pit and exploded just as Emperor Belos flew by. The emperor moaned painfully as continued on his way.
Steve blinked slowly and then looked at the Titan.
"Steve wasn't even trying and Steve still stuck it to the man," the scout said with a thumb up, "So shoulder pats for Steve after he finds the ball with a thousand snails."

"Steve," Titan said with a sigh. "I know that only 95% of that story is true. Besides, if you ask me, that creature's skin was more peach-ish than orange."
Steve just huffed and crossed his arms as he looked at Titan in defiance.
"Hey, Steve is just telling it as is!"
Titan rolled his eye and pushed off the rock he had been sitting on. He shoved his hands into jacket pockets and gave his witch a lazy glare.
"For starters, the rumor about one of the exploding balls having a large sum of snails is just rumors," Titan stated factly. "And the ball you threw at the emperor didn't blow up in his face. Still, it was funny seeing birds pecking at him for a few minutes."
Steve remained defiant with his story and put on a childish pout.
"Steve stands on what Steve said, and if Steve's lying, may the titan smite me!"
Titan cock an eyebrow and looked up. Steve followed his secret boss's gaze and looked up in time to see a yellow ball flying toward him. The ball hit him and exploded a second later. Titan could only stare in shock when his chosen witch was covered in thousands of snails.
"Huh, it wasn't a rumor after all?" Titan commented and looked up again. "But where did that even come from?"
"Yah!" Steve screamed, drawing Titan's attention to the scout. "Selema is rich beyond words!"
Titan sighed and shook his head. "Even I can't help but wonder how Lilith Clawthorne put up with this one?"
Titan sent a mental suggestion to members of a certain aminal-named rebellion; telling them that a mysterious benefactor had left a donation for the cause.
He next looked at Steve. He used some of his remaining magic, moving Steve into the shadows and covering the snails with earth. He breathed heavily as he felt his energy slipping away and decided it was time for that nap.
He let out a sigh as he disappeared back into the depths of his body.

Me (After getting down and sighing): Will, with that out of the way, we can move on to the final chapter of the Soul Stone Search Arc. Look forward to it!
