"Beach"
Steven and Connie were sitting on the beach watching the new construction going on.
"Wow that house is going be just as big as the temple."
"Wonder who can afford that?"
As idea's rolled through Steven head he began to chant his ideas.
"I bet it's someone like Ranger Guy, someone super smart and nice who goes on all these adventure across the world!"
Connie couldn't help but giggle at Steven's comment.
"I wouldn't get your hopes up on that Steven."
While the two laughed Tao walked past them to see how his house was coming alone.
"Hello mister."
Tao looked down to see a small pudgy boy with curly hair greet him next to a young indian girl.
"What is it child?"
"Are you the owner of the new house?"
"Yes, my name is Tao Pai Pai."
Steven held out his hand politely.
"My name's Steven Universe, and this is my friend Connie Maheswaran."
"Nice to meet you Mr. Tao!"
Tao shook both of the children's hands.
"Likewise. Now what brings you here?"
"Oh we were just sitting at the beach watching the sunset."
Tao nearly rolled his eyes at such a naive and pure childlike reason to life. Connie took another look at the grand construction.
"How'd you afford to pay for such a grand house?"
"I did a lot of work for a lot of people my dear, and with talents like mine… Let's just say my services don't come cheap."
"Oh are you like a security guard like Connie's dad?"
"That's a nice way of putting it, yes."
From her knowledge of other countries Connie noticed Tao's robes and unique symbol.
"Are you a martial artist or something?"
"Yes. I have been one for quite some time."
Steven got super excited when an idea hit him.
"Oh you should go with Amnesty to the wrestling tournament! There was one last night and I heard that-"
"I know about the tournament boy, I already won."
Steven was shocked by his statement.
"Di- did you go up against someone name the Purple Puma?"
Tao gave out a laugh.
"That big oaf! He pretended to be some sort of warrior but he barely lasted a single strike!"
"You- you beat Amet- I mean the Purple Puma?"
Tao looked down at the boy.
"You question my abilities?"
Steven and Connie's eyes lit up with stars, and in unison shouted.
"WOW! Your so cool!"
Tao raised a confused eyebrow.
"Cool?"
"Can you fight like in the movies? Can you do a triple flying kick? Can you punch through walls? Can you do the sword boomerang? Can-"
Connie put her hand on Steven's mouth, knowing he wouldn't stop talking unless someone stopped him.
"What Steven is trying to say is that we think it's great you're a martial artist."
Tao gave a small amused smile.
"You are an amusing pair that's for sure…"
Tao looked at his giftcard.
"May I ask for both of your assistance?
"Sure!"
"Do any of you know any good food around here?"
Steven's eyes lit up with stars.
"My time has come….."
Tao curiously looked at the boy.
"What's wrong with his eyes?"
"Oh that just happens to him when he gets excited."
Steven grabbed Tao's hand and began to pull.
"Come on there so much to show you!"
They soon went from restaurant to restaurant.
