Hey, guys! Welcome to the new chapter of Jurassic Universe! Admittedly, I wasn't so excited about writing this particular episode because well...Frybo creeps me out, and Steven gets naked...enough said...but I think I like how the chapter played out...anyway, I don't own anything, except for my OC'S.
NOW LET'S GET ON WITH THE STORY!
"Where are you?" Steven says, peering through a pile of laundry in the living room as he shakes his head. "You're a mess, Steven."
"Hey, Steven. What are you doing?" Saurus asked curiously while walking into the house as Steven turned to him, his lower body hidden from view.
"I'm looking for my pants. Have you seen them?" Steven asked as Saurus shakes his head.
"Afraid not, buddy," Saurus says just as Pearl suddenly appeared as she runs towards the kitchen while holding a bubble full of shards.
"I know I had eight," Pearl mumbles to herself before noticing the boys. "Hey, Steven, Saurus, have you boys seen a Gem shard anywhere?"
"Nope. I was outside doing my morning training." Saurus says.
"No, but have you seen my pants?" Steven asked while stepping out of the laundry pile, revealing that he was only wearing his shirt and underwear. "They're also important."
"Steven... where's your pants?" Saurus asked with a sweatdrop as he looks away from the half-naked kid.
"I told you, I lost them."
"Then why aren't you wearing your other pants?"
"Because they're dirty."
"Well, cover yourself up, man. I don't want to see you in your tidy whities."
"Kids, focus! I must find these shards before anything bad happens! These shards have a powerful partial consciousness that has been harnessed by Gems throughout history to create-blah, blah, blah..." Pearl explained as the boys tuned her out.
"They weren't in the kitchen either, maybe they're under my bed? No, wait, I looked there too. And then Saurus walked in..." Steven thought to himself as he wondered where his missing pants were.
"Man, I never noticed how huge Pearl's nose is. It literally takes up half of her face!" Saurus thought to himself amusedly.
"...semi-sentient drone soldiers with the capacity to follow basic orders. Gems once created an army of these drones, but blah blah blah..." Pearl continued explaining as Steven panicked.
"Pearl! Oh, jeez, she's really explaining something important." Steven thought to himself as he turned to look at Saurus and noticed that he was staring at Pearl with a focused look. "Oh, man, Saurus is really paying attention. I will look like an idiot in front of Saurus if I ask Pearl to repeat herself again. I guess I have to play it cool and pretend that I was listening."
"Hmmm...nope, even if I squint my eyes, her nose still looks big. She should really have someone check that shit out." Saurus thought to himself before noticing that Pearl was talking, and Steven was paying close attention to her. "Shit, was Pearl saying something important? Damm, I can't ask Pearl to repeat herself again because then I will look like a moron in front of Steven. I guess I have to pretend that I was listening to her the entire time." Saurus thought to himself as he and Steven nodded to everything that Pearl was saying.
"...could become a monster. That's why it's very, very important it's keep away from any kind of garment. If you see it, bring it to me right away. I'm going to check in town." Pearl says before leaving the house as Saurus awkwardly waved at her goodbye.
"Right, got it. Whatever you say." Saurus says as Steven tugs on his shirt.
"Hey, can you help me find my pants?" Steven asked as Saurus sighs.
"Sure, buddy. But first, let's find you some pants to wear in the meantime." Saurus says as Steven nodded, before noticing his pants walking around as he gasped.
"That's unusual!" Steven yelled before chasing after his trousers. "Come on, we used to be friends! We used to go everywhere together!" Steven says while running after his pants as Saurus watched the scene with a sweatdrop.
"Why is this not the weirdest thing I've ever seen in my life?" Saurus asked himself as Steven finally catches up with his pants and pounced on them.
"Gotcha now, pants!" Steven says as he puts on his pants and stands up proudly. "I wear the pants in this relationship!" He says as Saurus chuckled.
"Nice pun, dude." Saurus says as Steven smiles.
"Thanks." Steven says as his pants started wriggling.
"So, do you know why your pants came to life?" Saurus asked as Steven shrugs.
"Don't know. Never happened to me before." Steven says as he checks his pants and noticed something weird in his pocket. "Wait, what's this?" Steven says as he reached into his pocket and takes out a Gem shard. "It's a...thingie!" Steven says, unsure what it was, as his pants stopped wriggling
"It's a shard...wait a minute, didn't Pearl mention something about looking for a Gem shard?" Saurus says as the shard glows and tugs on Steven's shirt. Thinking quickly, Saurus looks around and grabbed a nearby sock as he grabs the shard from Steven's hand and puts the shard inside.
"Nice thinking, Saurus," Steven says as Saurus smirks.
"Anytime." Saurus says before yelping as the sock animates and repeatedly smacks him in the face. "Ow, ow, ow...STOP IT!" Saurus screamed, his face briefly growing scales as the sock obeyed his command and went lifeless.
"Whoa, it followed what you said," Steven says as Saurus stared at the sock curiously.
"I guess it did. Anyway, we should take this to Pearl." Saurus says, handing the sock to Steven, who puts it in his cheeseburger backpack.

We...are...the Crystal Gems!
We'll always save the day!
Standing in a large red colorful background with millions of glowing stars, we see a stoic Garnet lifting up her glasses to wink at the readers with her Dual Germstones glowing brightly as we see a pair of smirking Pearl and Amethyst standing back to back with their Gemstones glowing brightly as a roaring Saurus dropped down from the sky and landed in front of the Crystal Gems in his Full Dinosaur Form with Steven riding on his back and his Gemstone glowed brightly as they all struct a heroic pose.
And if you think we can't,
We'll always find a way!
After warping themselves into the other side of the planet, the Crystal Gems can be seen glaring at a hoard of Corrupted Gems, Evil Dinosaurs, and Jasper and Peridot as Garnet swiftly summoned her Gauntlets while Pearl summoned her spear as Amethyst pulled out her whip, Steven summoned his Shield, and Saurus transformed into his True Dinosaur Form as the Crystal Gems then mounted onto Saurus's back and charged forward as they all let out a loud battle cry.
That's why the people of this world
Always believe in...
Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl...and Saurus and Steven!
After defeating their powerful foes and saving the Planet Earth, the Crystal Gems decided to head back to Beach City as, after warping themselves near their Hometown, a roaring Saurus ran down the streets of Beach City, alarming Lars and Sadie, surprising the Pizza Family, impressing the Cool Kids, and caused a visiting Connie to gasp in awe as the Gang were able to arrive at their home and everyone got off Saurus's back as he transformed back into his Human Form just as Greg drove up to them as he got out of the vehicle and placed a grill in front of them to grill up some victory Hot Dogs as a smiling Saurus rubbed a giggling Steven's head proudly.
{Jurassic Universe Season 1 Theme Song Over!}
"Hey, Pearl! Pearl!" Steven yelled while looking around the boardwalk with Saurus as he was wearing a pink hoodie and yellow rubber boots with duck designs. "She must still be looking for my pants," Steven says to himself as he turned to Saurus. "Where do you think she should be?" Steven asked as Saurus shrugs.
"Don't know," Saurus says, now wearing a green hoodie, blue jeans, and black boots. "But, we got to find her quick before-Ugh!" He says before yelping as he bumped into someone and fell on the floor.
"Saurus!" Steven worriedly yelled as he helped Saurus stand up. "Are you okay?" He asked as the older teen nodded.
"Yeah, I'm alright." He says before turning to address the person he bumped against too. "Hey, man. Next time watch where you-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! What the fuck is that!?" Saurus screamed in horror while falling on the ground as Steven nervously looks to where he was pointing, but calms down once he realized who it was.
"Saurus, calm down, there's nothing to be scared about. It's just Peedee working." Steven says as the boy-named Peedee turned to them. The Boy is a 4'5-feet-tall, 13-year-old Boy with brown eyes, blond wavy hair that resembled Steak Fries, thin black eyebrows, a small nose, he was missing his upper tooth, a sharp chin, Fair Skin, a slim build, and he was currently wearing a mascot costume that resembles fries, but his usual outfit consists of a white tank top, cargo shorts, and yellow slip-on sandals. His name is Peedee Fryman, the Son of Mr. Fryman, the younger brother of Ronaldo Fryman, and the Mascot of his family's restaurant Beach Citywalk Fries.
"Steven! Thank goodness your here! I need your help!"
"What do you need?" Steven asked as just as a flock of seagulls appeared as they assaulted Peedee.
"Ah, they're here! Get them away! Help me!" Peedee yelled while waving his arms around as Steven gained a determined look.
"Don't worry, we're here to help! Right, Saurus?" Steven says, before blinking in confusion as he noticed Saurus slightly trembling on the ground with a terrified look on his face. "Uh, Saurus? You okay?"
"Y-Yeah, of course, I'm fine. W-Why wouldn't I be?" Saurus shakily says while standing up as Peedee takes off the head of the costume and swings it at the seagulls, chasing them away.
"I'm not fries!" Peedee screamed while huffing as his father, Mr. Fryman, comes out of the Beach Citywalk Fries to see what was going on.
"Gah, where's your face, Frybo? Being part of the Fryman family means you got to sell fries." Mr. Fryman says as Peedee gave him a blank look. "...and be my son, which you are!" Mr. Fryman added in sheepishly as Peedee rolled his eyes in annoyance. "So, you're already halfway there. Keep at it, Frybo!" Mr. Fryman says before going back into the building as Peedee angrily clenches his fist.
"I'm Pee-" The kid didn't have time to finish his sentence as his dad closes the door. "-dee..."
"Hey, Peedee!" Steven cheerfully says, oblivious to Peedee's mood as the kid sighs.
"When I told my dad, I wanted to be part of the Fryman family business. I didn't think it meant being stuck in a sweaty old costume," Peedee says grumbly as he puts the head back on and turned to Steven. "Things used to be different, Steven, nothing to worry about back then except making myself dizzy on the old seahorse ride at Funland."
"Oh, Frybo, you're hilarious," Steven says, thinking that his friend was joking as Peedee sighs.
"I wish there was a way for this costume to do its job without me in it," Peedee says as a lightbulb appeared over Steven's head, and he smirked.
"Maybe it can, Peedee. Maybe it can..." A few minutes later, we see Steven donning the Frybo outfit as Steven and Peedee looked excited while Saurus seems uneasy. "Hey, look at me! I'm Frybo! Check me out, Saurus!" Steven says as Saurus took a few steps back.
"T-That's nice, Steven," Saurus says as Steven was about to sing but got attacked by a swarm of seagulls. "Ah! Help!" Pushing his fear aside for a moment, Saurus went to help Steven take off the costume as the older teen throws it at the ground and looks at it hauntingly.
"Well, that didn't work," Steven says before looking at Saurus as an idea popped into his head. "Hey, I got an idea! You can wear the costume, Saurus! With your powers, you can fend off the seagulls easily." Steven says as Saurus's face blanched at the thought of wearing that costume.
"I-I don't think that's a good idea, Steven," Saurus says as Steven went to pick up the costume.
"Nah, don't worry, I'm sure it will be fine," Steven says, throwing the costume at him as the older teen screamed and ran behind a lamppost. "Saurus!" Steven worriedly yelled as he ran over to his friend.
"What's wrong with your friend, Steven?" Peedee asked.
"I don't know," Steven says before turning to his friend as he comforted him. "Hey, are you alright?" He asked as Saurus shakes his head, and his body started quivering.
"T-That thing jumped at me, Steven! It tried to eat my soul!" Saurus screamed as Steven blinked.
"Saurus...are you afraid of the Frybo costume?"
"W-What?! No! I'm not afraid of that goofy mascot!" Saurus says while looking away as Steven eyed him suspiciously and ran off to grab Frybo's head as he showed it to Saurus. "Aah! Get that thing away from me!" Saurus shouted while hugging the lamppost in fear so tight that the metal bent.
"Hey, hey, it's alright. No one here is forcing you to wear the costume." Steven soothingly says while throwing away Frybo's head as Saurus calmed down.
"I don't think your friend will be able to wear the Frybo costume," Peedee says as Steven nodded. After calming down, Saurus composed himself as he lets go of the broken lamppost and stands up as he coughs.
"Sorry, about that guys. I...really don't like that Frybo costume," Saurus says while looking away as he blushed in embarrassment over his behavior.
"It's okay, Saurus," Steven says while patting his friend's back.
"So, what now?" Peedee asked as Steven thought carefully and got another idea. Steven grabbed the Gem shard from his backpack as he then drops it inside the Frybo costume. The boys stared at Frybo expectantly as the costume beings to shake and animate itself as it rolls away.
"Whoa!" Peedee says, amazed as Saurus shivered.
"Whoa, is not the word I use," Saurus says as Frybo rolls around aimlessly.
"Stop!" Steven commanded as Frybo compels and stopped rolling.
"Unbelievable! Get up!" Peedee commanded as Frybo positions itself upright.
"Do a little dance!" Steven says as Frybo creates legs out of fries, scaring the heck out of Saurus and creeping out the boys as Frybo started dancing weirdly. "Hey, this is fun! Saurus, you should try it out!" Steven says as Saurus cringes and hugs himself.
"Yeah, no, thanks."
"Woah, ho, all right!" Mr. Fryman exclaimed, coming out of the building to observe as Peedee hides behind Steven. "It's about ti-I mean, good job, buddy! That's what I'm talking about, Frybo, ha, ha. Keep it up!" Peedee's father says as he went back into the building, and Frybo stops dancing.
"That work?" Saurus says in disbelief as Peedee laughs.
"Free! I'm free! You got the job, Frybo! Shake on it!" Peedee says while holding out his hand as Frybo picks him up and literally shakes him.
"Ha, ha, he got jokes!" Steven said as Saurus went to help Peedee.
"Frybo, stop! Let him go before he throws up." Saurus says as Frybo drops Peedee on the ground and waits for further instructions. "Are you okay, Peedee?" Saurus asked while helping him stand up as Peedee looks nauseated but otherwise looks fine.
"Yeah, I'm fine," Peedee says before turning to Frybo. "Just go and make people eat fries!" Peedee commanded as Frybo rapidly nodded, spraying the kids with fries much to their disgust as he runs off. "Yes! Let's go and be kids!" Peedee yelled as he grabbed the boy's hands and ran off. At the Funland Arcade, we see Steven, Peedee, and a reluctant Saurus riding on their seahorse, jellyfish, and starfish rides, respectively, as Peedee looked excited.
"Oh, man! I can't wait for this!" Peedee says as Steven turned to Saurus, still worried for his friend.
"Hey, Saurus? Are you feeling any better?" Steven asked, still worried for his friend as Saurus smiled at him reassuringly.
"Yeah, I feel great! Especially without that creepy Frybo around," Saurus says before looking down at his Starfish ride curiously. "You know, I've seen this all the time in my travels, but I've never been on one."
"Really? How come?" Steven asked as Saurus shrugs.
"I never really had a reason to ride one." He says as Peedee smiled.
"Well, you're going to love it, trust me," Peedee says just as their rides began to move. Peedee was full of joy at first but quickly becomes disappointed as his seahorse ride came to a stop.
"Well, that was surely exciting." Saurus sarcastically says as he had a bored look on his face.
"I know, right?" Steven cheerfully says, oblivious to his sarcasm as he noticed Peedee's depressed look. "Hey, what's wrong?" Steven asked as Peedee sighs.
"This seahorse used to make me so happy. Now it's just giving me whiplash. I feel like there's just no point to it, you know what I mean?" Peedee asked Steven, who shakes his head.
"Yeah, I understand, kid," Saurus says, getting off his ride as the others did the same. "Growing up, I never really had a normal childhood like the other kids. So when I was finally allowed to have fun, playing little kid games like this never really appealed to me. It just seems...childish. No offense, Steven." Saurus says as Steven waves it off. "Anyway, you're probably feeling like your too old for these kiddy rides, right?" Saurus said as Peedee nodded.
"Yeah, it doesn't seem as fun as I remember. Maybe I should go back to work. What do you think?" Peedee asked as Saurus shrugs.
"Hey, if you want to go back to work, that's fine, go ahead. I'm not going to stop you," Saurus says as Peedee was about to run off, but stopped as Saurus continued talking. "But remember that you are still a kid and needs to have fun every once in a while. Maybe not in the seahorse ride, but maybe something else. You know what I mean?" Saurus says as Peedee nodded, and smiled.
"Yeah, I do. Thanks for the advice, Saurus." Peedee says just as a distant scream was heard.
"What was that?" Saurus asked.
"It came from the fry shop!" Peedee yelled as he runs off, and the rest followed. After a few minutes of running, the gang arrived at the boardwalk just in time to see civilians running for their lives as giant yellow tendrils sprouted out of the fry shop.
"What's going on!?" Peedee asked, panicking as the yellow tendrils grabbed a few civilians that were running away and dragged them inside.
"Saurus!" A female voice yelled out as Saurus turned around and was surprised to see a familiar figure running towards him.
"Jenny? What are you doing here?" Saurus asked as a frightened Jenny caught up to him while panting in exhaustion.
"I-I was here with my friends eating some fries when suddenly this thing showed up and started forcing everyone to eat fries! He almost choked me to death!" Jenny screamed while hyperventilating a bit.
"Hey, hey, Jenny, look at me," Saurus says as Jenny looked down at him, and he smiled at her assuredly. "It's fine. Whatever it is, my friends and I will handle it." Saurus says as Jenny smiled at him in gratitude.
"Thanks, Saurus," Jenny says before noticing Steven and Peedee staring at her curiously. "Oh, hello. I'm a friend of Saurus. We met yesterday, my name is Jenny Pizza. Nice to meet you." Jenny says while holding out her hand as Steven shook it.
"Steven Universe."
"Peedee Fryman," Peedee says as he shook hands with her as well.
"Why does everyone in this town have weird last names?" Saurus thought to himself before getting his head back into the game. "Now that we introduce ourselves, let's go and see what's going on," Saurus says as everyone, minus Jenny nodded, and peered inside the building. The boys watched in horror/shock as Frybo captured people with his fry-like tendrils and forced them to eat fries.
"Please! No more fries!" Mr. Smiley pleaded, but Frybo ignored him and shoved fries down his throat. Saurus growled at the sight, forgetting his fear for a second as he marched up to Frybo.
"That's enough, Frybo! Put him down before I make you!" Saurus yelled as Frybo slowly turns around, revealing veins protruding all over his creepy face. "...Please..." Saurus whimpered as Frybo backhanded Saurus so hard that he flew out of the window and landed next to Jenny outside.
"Oh my god, Saurus! Are you okay?" Jenny asked, helping him stand up as he nodded shakily.
"Yeah, peachy." Saurus sarcastically says before his eyes widen. "Kids! Look out!" Saurus yelled just as Frybo hurled Lars at them, and the kids instinctively ducked as Lars landed next to them.
"I don't even like fries!" Lars yelled while spitting out fries as he runs away.
"Why isn't he listening!?" Peedee asked
"I don't know!" Steven says as Jenny looks at them, confused.
"Wait, what do you mean he's not listening." She says as the boys winced.
"W-Well, we may have accidentally caused this mess," Saurus sheepishly says as Jenny's eyes widen.
"What!? How!?"
"Well-" Saurus says before getting interrupted as Mr. Fryman emerges from the back of the shop.
"Peedee! Where's all this coming from!?" Mr. Fryman asked as Saurus turned to Jenny.
"I will tell you later," Saurus says as Peedee peeped over the counter.
"Dad?" Peedee says as Frybo growls and captures Mr. Fryman with its tendrils.
"Ah, I get it. I pushed you too hard! I thought you wanted to be as good as a Fryman as you could be! You're a tough kid for putting up with it as long as you did! The truth is, you're a valued member of Fryman Brothers Incorporated and all its affiliates!" Peedee was touched by his father's statement as Frybo picks Mr. Fryman off the ground and shoves fries into his mouth.
"Dad!" Peedee screamed, breaking into tears as he tries to lunge through the window, but Jenny stops him.
"Whoa, hold on, kid! You get in there, and that thing will kill you!"
"But my dad-,"
"Don't worry, Peedee," Saurus says as he placed a hand on his shoulder and gave him a determined smile. "Everything's going to be okay, just let me handle this!" Saurus says before looking up at Jenny and Steven. "Jenny, make sure that Peedee doesn't escape and hurt himself." He says as Jenny nodded. "Steven, get the Gems while I deal with Frybo," Saurus says as Steven nodded and ran off.
"Okay, Saurus! Do your thing!" Jenny says as Saurus turned to Frybo and paled a bit at the sight of him.
"R-Right, I'll go do t-that." Saurus stammered as he ran into the fry shop. "H-Hey! Put Mr. Fryman or e-else!" Saurus stuttered again as he tried to transform...but strangely enough, nothing happened. Confused, Saurus tries to will the transformation to happen, but no matter how hard he tried, he was still stuck in his human form. "Uh oh," Saurus says as Frybo chucked Mr. Fryman at Saurus and sends them flying out of the building.
"Dad!" Peedee screamed as he went to check on his dad
"Saurus!" Jenny yelled as she went to check on Saurus. "What's wrong? Why didn't you transform?"
"I...I can't." Saurus mumbles as Jenny stared at him, confused.
"What do you mean you can't?"
"I need to be angry enough to transform, but I-I'm too scared, Jenny," Saurus confessed while bowing his head in shame as Jenny stared at him, surprised.
"Seriously!? I understand that Frybo is a litter terrifying. But I saw you beat up a gang and take down a crime organization yesterday! How could you be scared?" She asked as Saurus was about to retort, but a voice spoke up.
"Saurus!" Pearl screamed while jumping in with Steven as she still held the bubble full of shards. "Are you okay?" She asked as Saurus nodded.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Saurus as Pearl sighs in relief before giving the boys a stern look.
"Boys, did you put my missing shard in that fry costume?"
"...Yes."
"Didn't you hear what I said about the living armor and infantries and man, many deaths!?"
"...No." The boys confessed as Pearl sighs in irritation.
"Oh, boys," Pearl says before turning to Jenny.
"Can you do me a favor and keep an eye on Steven and this for me?" Pearl says as Jenny nodded, and Pearl handed her the bubble full of shards. "Good, now come on, Saurus. Let's stop this evil creature." Pearl says as Saurus laughs nervously.
"Yeah, about that...I can't transform."
"WHAT!?" Pearl and Steven exclaimed as Jenny nodded.
"It's true. Saurus is too scared by Frybo to transform."
"Seriously!?" Pearl says, exasperated as she sighs. "Fine, I will deal with this. Saurus, stay here." Pearl says as she summons her spear and jumps on top of a table as she throws the spear at Frybo, and it impales itself into Frybo's eyes.
"Nice hit!" Saurus says as Pearl smiles proudly, before yelping as Frybo spewed ketchup and mustard from its impaled eye, which lands on Pearl's face.
"Pearl!" Steven yelled as he rushes towards Pearl.
"Ugh, the ketchup...the mustard! It's everywhere, I can't see!" Pearl says while trying to scrub off the gooey mess from her eyes.
"Daaaaddd!" Peedee tearfully cried as he tried to wake up his father, who was knocked out from the colliding with Saurus. Frybo emerges from the building with Pearl's spear still stuck in his eye as he approaches the Frymans just as Mr. Fryman regains consciousness as Peedee rushed over to grab a broken plank and confronts Frybo.
"Go away!" Peedee screamed with a mean glare on his face while swinging at Frybo.
"Peedee?" Mr. Fryman says while getting up as Peedee snarled.
"You're awful! I hate you! I always hated you!" Peedee yelled with tears in his eyes as his father gave him a shocked look.
"Wait, you've always hated Frybo?" Mr. Fryman asked as Frybo disarms Peedee, causing him to fall back towards Mr. Fryman, who catches him as Frybo slowly approached them.
"Hey, Saurus, anytime you need to transform, now is the time!" Jenny yelled.
"I'm trying!" Saurus yelled back as he grunted, and a few scales grew on his skin, but not much else happened. "Dammit!" Saurus cursed, frustrated at himself for not being able to transform. Steven was about to comfort him when suddenly he noticed the bubble full of shards sitting nearby as he got an idea.
"Don't worry, Saurus. I will handle this." Steven says as he popped the bubble containing the shards and grabbed as many shards as he can.
"Steven, what are you-," Saurus didn't have time to finish his question as Steven stripped himself into his underwear and planted each shard on his garment, animating his socks, pants, shirt, jacket, and shoes as they stood beside him. "Oh, now, I see, good plan." Saurus complimented as Steven smiled.
"Thanks," Steven says before turning to the animated mascot. "Hey, Frybo!" Steven screamed, alerting Frybo of his presence as the Fryman family smiled.
"Steven!" They cheered as Steven put a fry in his mouth and smirked at them.
"Get to safety. I will handle things from here," Steven says as they nodded and ran off as they stood next to Jenny and Saurus. "Your move," Steven says to Frybo while eating the fry as the animated mascot charges at him. "Attack!"
Steven commanded his garments as his shirt and pants leaped in to intercept Frybo as they delivered a punch/kick combo to Frybo's face. Sending him crashing on the ground as Steven's jacket and socks held Frybo down by his arms while Steven's shirt and pants held him down by his feet. Steven's shoes leaped in the air as they landed on Frybo's face and started stomping on his eyes. Agitated, Frybo summoned his tendrils to grab each of Steven's garments as he threw them off, and they crashed-landed on the ground. Losing the shards inside them as Steven's garments went stiff and turned lifeless again.
"My army! I guess I have no choice. Underwear go-" Steven says before getting muffled by Frybo as he grabbed the young boy his neck and started strangling him.
"Steven!" Peedee screamed as Saurus growled angrily.
"Hey! Let him go, you bastard!" Saurus yelled as Jenny noticed a few scales growing out of his skin and smirked as an idea popped into her head.
"Oh, poor, little Steven! If only you weren't too much of a coward to fight Frybo, then none of this would be happening!" Jenny says, overdramatically as Saurus freezes and slowly turned to her.
"...What did you call me?" Saurus says ominously as his eyes flashed yellow.
"You heard me," Jenny says with a smirk as she casually looks at her nails. "Yesterday, you were happily beating those thugs up without trouble, but now that a real monster showed up. You're too much of a chicken to transform," Jenny says, not noticing Saurus's body trembling in anger as green scales appeared all over his body. "I mean you had to send in a 10-year-old to fight for you, how embarrassing is that! A kid with the power to transform into a lizard man is petrified at the sight of a mascot! Man, what a coward!" Jenny says before laughing as Saurus growls and transformed into his full dinosaur form.
"Call me a coward again, and I will cut off that smart tongue of yours and shove it up yours-," Saurus says before blinking as he noticed that he had transformed and that Jenny was grinning at him smugly. "Oh, I see what you did. Quite clever." Saurus complimented as Jenny smiled.
"Thanks, now beat him up," Jenny says while pointing at Frybo as Saurus grins.
"With pleasure," Saurus says as he walked over to an unsuspecting Frybo and grabbed his shoulder. "Hey, french fry!" Saurus yelled as Frybo turned around, only to be sucker-punched by Saurus as he landed on the side of the boardwalk. "Why don't you pick on someone your own size!" Saurus says with a grin as he grabbed Steven in mid-air and set him next to Jenny. "You fought well, Steven, but let me take care of things from now on,"
"But, Saurus, aren't you afraid to fight Frybo by yourself?" Steven asked as Saurus sighs and bends down to Steven's eye level.
"Yeah, I am, but I'm even more scared of losing you, Steven," Saurus says before looking at Jenny. "You two, Jenny. I know we only met yesterday, but I consider you as well as Steven, my friends." Saurus says as Steven and Jenny smiled, but the touching scene was ruined as Frybo appeared and roared at them as Saurus glared at him and stood up as he turned to his friends. "I should go and handle that before anyone else gets hurt," Saurus says before turning back to Frybo as he glared at the living mascot coldly. "Okay, it's you and me now," Saurus says as Frybo roared at him with ketchup and mustard flying out of his mouth, but Saurus wasn't scared anymore as he roared back and charges at him.
The two goliaths drawback their fists as they threw a punch, and the moment their fists touch, it caused a small shockwave to appear as it blew everyone back. Saurus growled at Frybo as the demonic mascot used his tendrils to grab Saurus's arm and pulled the dinosaur hybrid towards him before slamming him to the ground. Frybo then proceeds to punch his face over and over again, until Saurus had enough as he used his large jaws to bite his hand and tore it off as Frybo squealed in pain and took a couple of steps back to nurse his wounds as Saurus smacked his lips and grinned as he realized Frybo's limbs were literally made of fries.
"Ooh, tasty." Saurus mocked as Frybo paled and tried to run away, but it was too late as Saurus ran to him at speeds not possible for someone his size and punch through his stomach.
Jenny's eyes widen at the brutal display as she covered Steven's eyes, and Mr. Fryman did the same with his son as they watched Saurus furiously ripping Frybo's limps off before ripping out his hair as he ate them as well. After gulping a few fries, Saurus decided that he was done fooling around as he grabbed Frybo and lifted him off the floor as he ripped him in half. Jenny and Mr. Fryman watched in shock with their mouths wide open as Saurus drops the lifeless corpses on the ground and transformed back to normal as he smiled at the group widely.
"Oh, man! I feel so much better!" Saurus cheerfully says as Jenny and Mr. Fryman eyed him warily. "You know when they say that facing your fears is the right way to overcome them? Well, they were right! I don't think I'm afraid of mascots anymore!" Saurus happily says as Steven runs up to him.
"Saurus, that was awesome! You defeated Frybo and faced your fear!" Steven says as Saurus smiled.
"Yeah, I guess I did."
"Guys!" Jenny yelled while pointing at the two halves of Frybo's lifeless body that was stitching back together.
"I got it," Saurus says as he was about to approach Frybo, but Steven stops him.
"No, you have done enough. Let me handle this," Steven says as he jumps on top of Frybo and rips out the Gem shard from his cheese-filled mouth as Frybo suddenly went stiff and dropped back on the ground as he slowly going lifeless.
"Steven! Saurus! Are you boys, alright?" Pearl says, still blinded from the ketchup/mustard as she touches Mr. Fryman's face.
"They're alright, miss. If anything, the boys saved the day." Jenny says while wiping the sauce from Pearl's face as the boys smiled proudly at each other.
A few hours later, we see Saurus, in his full dinosaur form, dragging Frybo's costume across the beach as Steven, still in his underwear, and the others look on.
"You were great, Frybo." Mr. Fryman tearfully says as Peedee comforted his dad. He may not like the Frybo costume, but he knew his dad cared about it so much.
"No, he wasn't," Saurus says as he throws Frybo on a makeshift raft in the ocean carelessly and transforms back to normal.
"...The kids today just didn't understand." Mr. Fryman continued, pretending Saurus didn't say anything. "Now, they never will."
"Weren't people scared of it before he attacked them?" Pearl says.
"Yeah, that thing freaked me out when I was a kid," Jenny says.
"I may have gotten over my phobia, but I'm still slightly scared of it," Saurus says as Steven shushes them.
"It's time...to send him off. Son, would you like to do the honor?" Mr. Fryman says while handing Peedee the light as the young kid nodded and sets Frybo on fire as Pearl, using the end of her spear, pushes it out to sea. "As greasy in death...as he was in life." Mr. Fryman says with a depressed look on his face as Peedee looked up to him, uncomfortable.
"Dad? Umm...I'll...Are you going to get another costume?" Peedee asked as Saurus glared at Mr. Fryman.
"You better not!" Saurus yelled as Steven elbows him.
"No, son. I don't need another Frybo." Mr. Fryman says as he smiled proudly and hugged his son. "I got the Fry man!" He says as Peedee smiled at his father.
"Guys, I think our work here is done," Steven says, striking a heroic pose as he was still in his underwear.
"Steven, I love you, buddy, but seriously, put on some pants!" Saurus yells as Steven smiled sheepishly and went to find his clothes.
"Well, that was definitely a traumatic experience," Jenny says to Saurus as the young teen shrugged.
"Yep, today was weird. But, I'm happy that I lost my fear of large mascots." Saurus says as Jenny gave him a weird look.
"Hey, why were you so afraid of Frybo, anyway?" Jenny asked as Saurus winced and looked away.
~[Flashback]~
"Send him in." A man says, his face hidden in the shadows as he stood an empty room that has only one chair and a large TV. After a few minutes of waiting, two large guards walked into the room as they dragged in a 4-year-old Saurus, who snarled at everyone around him as he wore a long white gown that reached to his knees. The man smiled in amusement over Saurus's actions as the guards strapped the young hybrid into the chair and left the room.
"Hello, Subject 0007. How are you feeling today?" The man asked as Saurus growled at him and tried to bite him. "Oh, oh, oh, so close! You almost got me! You almost got-Ah!" The man says playfully before yelping as Saurus took a bite out of his hand and ripped out one of his fingers. "You little shit!" Saurus smirked as he spits out the man's finger and gave him a bloody toothy grin. The man was about to strike him until suddenly, an idea popped into his head as he smirked, and calmly puts his hands behind his back. "Okay, Subject 0007. If you're feeling grumpy today, I think it's time for a time out." He says as Saurus's eyes widen in fear, and shakes his head. "Oh, what's that? You don't want a time out?" He says as Saurus nodded eagerly. "Well, if you don't want a time out, all you have to say is 'Please, don't give me a time out, sir.'."
"P-Ple-ease, d-do-," Saurus stuttered as he hasn't learned how to talk in full sentences yet.
"Oh, you do want a time out? Why didn't you say so?" The man says with a smirk as he grabbed the TV remote.
"N-No!" Saurus protested, but the man ignored him as he turned on the tv and it showed an image of...Barney the Dinosaur?
I love you
You love me
We're a happy family
With a great big hug
And a kiss from me to you
Won't you say you love me too
I love you
You love me
We're best friends like friends should be
With a great big hug
And a kiss from me to you
Won't you say you love me too
"Enjoy." The man says while laughing as he leaves the room and closed the door. Saurus whimpered as he thrashed against the bonds, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free. Saurus then attempted to transform, but the image of Barney's soulless eyes froze him on the spot as he cried.
"MAMA!" Saurus wailed in agony as Barney's annoying song echoes across the room.
~[Flashback ends]~
"Uh, you don't want to know," Saurus ominously says as Jenny shrugs.
"Well, alright, then. I'm going back home to forget this day ever happened." Jenny says, walking off. "If you ever want to hang out, just swing by Fish Stew Pizza, don't be a stranger!" Jenny says as Saurus smiled.
"I will! Bye, Jenny!" Saurus shouted as Pearl gave him a knowing look. "What?" Saurus asked, feeling slightly uncomfortable as she smirked.
"You like her, don't you?" Pearl asked as Saurus's nose wrinkled in disgust.
"Eww, gross! She's just a friend! Plus, she's way too old for me!" Saurus says as Pearl gave him a teasing grin.
"But you still think she looks cute, huh?" Pearl says as Saurus groans.
"I'm not having this conversation with you. I'm going home," Saurus says, running off as Pearl laughed.
And, done! I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter.
Anyway, as always, I will catch you all later.
