Chapter 3

"Hi, Steven," Said Sadie, the short blonde haired girl, who worked at The Big Donut. "What can I get you and your friend?"

"A pink frosted donut with rainbow sprinkles!" Shouted Steven with pure joy.

"Here you go", said Sadie after she got two pink frosted donuts with rainbow sprinkles. "Enjoy."

After The Doctor ate his donut he said:

"This is the best donut I have ever had in my life, and my life is very long."

"Great," said Steven with his mouth full. "Next, we're gonna go get some fry bits at the Beach Citywalk Fries."

Just then Lars, a tall teenager with odd ear piercings, and an odd skin tone walked up to Steven from the back of the store.

"Hey, Steven," Said Lars with a smirk, "Who's the old guy?"

All of a sudden The Doctor stood up and said:

"I've been called many names. The Warrior, The Oncoming Storm, The Great Exterminator. Many species fear me. You should too."

"All right man. I was just kidding. No need to be so serious." Said Lars as he

turned to run away. As he was running, he ran into a wall, fell down, got back up, and then ran away again.

Steven, Sadie, and The Doctor just stared at each other. Then they all broke out laughing.

The Doctor and Steven left The Big Donut and headed to The Beach Citywalk Fries. Once they got there they walked up to the ordering window.

"Follow my lead," whispered Steven to The Doctor. Steven then yelled into the ordering window. "Give us the bits!"

Now, The Doctor, who tried (and failed) to be a dignified man, did not follow Steven's lead.

A small boy named Petey, who had moppy yellow hair walked up to the window.

"Steven," said Petey with a sigh, "why don't you just order actual fries?

"Fine." Said Petey with another sigh. Petey gave them their bits, so The Doctor and Steven moved on to The Mr. Universe. Steven's dad saw them and welcomed them.

"Hey, Steven. Who's the friend?"

"This is The Doctor." Said Steven. Then he told his dad all about The Doctor. Steven's dad made a weird face that was difficult to read a couple of times.

"Wow," said Steven's dad, "so you're not human either, heh? This city is so weird. So what've you been up to Steven?

"I was just giving The Doctor The Grand Tour of Beach City."

"Okay. You guys have fun and be safe." Said Steven's dad. He knew something about what Steven told him about The Doctor reminded him of something important that happened.

Lastly, Steven and The Doctor went to the barn. Steven told The Doctor all about how The Cluster was going to destroy Earth, but Steven got it to stay underground. Just as Steven finished telling his story, a blue Gem, Lapis Lazuli ,and a bright green Gem named Peridot walked over to them together from inside the barn.

"There are more?" asked The Doctor with a mix of surprise and horror.

"Yup," said Steven. Then he turned to the Gems. "Hey, guys."

"Hey Steven," they replied back. Then Peridot spoke.

"Steven, Steven, Steven! Watch this new thing me and Lazuli can do. Let's do it Lazuli." Peridot and Lapis did an odd dance. They came together and became a growing white mass. The mass became a giant Gem. This Gem was 8 feet tall and was a sea green color. She had retractable, translucent, greenish-yellow wings. She had short green hair, and she had a gem on her head and on her back.

"Wasap!" said the fusion. "I'm Chambersite. Pretty cool right?"

The Doctor was astonished. As far as he knew, Gems of different kinds did not fuse. And they fused when they fought.

"Do the other Gems fuse with each other?" Asked The Doctor to Steven.

"Yeah! It's super cool!"

"Wow. It looks like I have a lot to learn about your Gems, Steven." Said The Doctor.

Chambersite defused ,and Steven and The Doctor went back to the Temple. Steven's dad was there looking at the T.A.R.D.I.S.

"Dad!" Said Steven happily as he ran to his father. "What are you doing here?"

"I've seen The Doctor before today." Said Steven's dad. "I thought that what happened was a dream for the longest time.

"On my first and last international concert. I was performing in London when this flying version of the Titanic was falling out of the sky and almost hit Buckingham Palace. I caught a glimpse of this box. The Doctor saved.

"Wow." Said The Doctor. "My first fan in this town." There was an awkward silence.

"Soooo. How did you like the Grand Tour Doctor?" Asked Steven, breaking the silence.
