Behind The Scenes - Chapter 28: Meet The Director

Steven looks at her again. He recognized her, she was the storyboard artist for Adventure Time.

"Well, hello Steven. What brings you here?" she asked him.

"Oh," he said. "I was watching my friends film for their show, and now, I'm heading home," he said.

"Alright." She looked around and then noticed something familiar about him. "Hey, by any chance are you-" she took out her phone and went on YouTube and looked up a video titled 'My Son Singing' She then continued her sentence. "-This boy with the ukelele?" Rebecca showed him the YouTube video to him.

Steven smiles and remembers that day well. But, it fades fast as he asks his next question "Yes;… But am I in trouble?" the woman chuckles and then shakes her head.

"Not at all Steven. I'm just saying that you have a lot of potential.

potential? potential for what?

"Uhhh, for what?" Steven asked.

"Come into my office, we can talk there," Rebecca said walking over to the large Cartoon Network building in the middle of the studio.

Then, Mordecai and Rigby walked up. "Hey, Quartz. We're going to the arcade with Muscle Man, you in?" Rigby asked the boy.

"Maybe later guys. Rebecca's taking me to her office." both Mordecai and Rigby felt a chill go up both their spines.

"What'd you do?"

Rebecca chuckles. "Steven Isn't in trouble guys, we are going into my office for a little bit." The Blue Jay and Raccon both nod and watch their friend go with her.

Rebecca walked to an elevator and went into her office Steven saw it, her desk was cluttered. it had an open laptop on it, and some scripts for the show were next to her computer.

"Alright, Steven." She took a seat at her desk and scooted her chair. Steven sat on the chair that was across her desk, Steven sat there nervously playing with his hands. He has never done this before.

Rebecca smiles. Steven felt more at ease, but not all the way relaxed. "I can see that you are nervous. Let me tell you, there is nothing to be nervous about, okay? I'm human, not a robot." Steven chuckles nervously and puts his hands on his lap.

Rebecca opened a drawer and pulled something out it was a colorful sphere.

"Have you heard of these? They're called Hoberman spheres." She explained. Steven nods. "I've played with these in school before," he said, before grabbing it and opening and closing it.

"I watched your video before and I loved your singing and your skills on that ukulele," she said. Steven nods.

"Do you want to call my parents, they can come here, I'm free today. Or tomorrow will be best."

"Um…. I'm going to have to call them." He said pulling out his phone and calling his mom.

"Yes, Steven?"

"Hey, Mom. Could you and Dad maybe come to the Cartoon Network lot?"

"Alright, may I ask why though?" Rose asked her son.

"I'm with Rebecca Sugar. She is the one who did the storyboard for Adventure Time, And, She's wondering if you and Dad could come and talk, I don't know about what. But…" Steven looks at Rebecca.

"Let me talk to her," she said, Steven nodded and handed the phone over to her.

"Hello, Rose, I am Rebecca Shugar I'm here with your son can you come with your husband to the Cartoon Network studio lot, I want to talk about some stuff with you guys."

"Alright, we will come," Rose said, hanging up.

A few minutes pass, Greg and Rose arrive at the Cartoon Network movie lot. They got access and they parked at the building, they walked inside.

"Hello." An employee said.

"Hi, we're here to see Rebecca Sugar, our son is with her."

"Alright, she's in her office. Seventh floor, Room seven twenty-eight."

Greg and Rose nodded and they went up the elevator. They walk down a hallway filled with many closed doors. Some were open, Greg stopped and read a black plaque that was next to the door that said: 'Cartoon Network Studios, Rebecca Sugar'

Rose knocks on the door. "Come in!" She said. Greg and Rose both enter the room and see Steven. "Please have a seat." She said. Both of them sat down Steven still played with the toy that Rebecca gave him.

"I want to do a show that involves your son, I want to be a director, and I think that Steven will be perfect for the role of the main protagonist, and you two could be in it too."

"Sounds, great!" Greg said.

"Alright-" She said, pulling out a small video camera from her desk, flipping the mini screen to the side, and then turning it on. "Say your names and ages for the camera please."

All of them complied with her request. The last one to go up was Steven. "I'm Steven Quartz Universe, I am eleven years old."

Rebecca turned off the camera, put it to the side, and grabbed three sheets of paper, Rose looked at her. "Alright, I want all of you to read these lines for me," she said, handing them all the sheets of paper.

Greg and Steven nods. "You can go first," Greg told his wife.

"Okay." she read the lines, Greg went next, and lastly, Steven. Steven then read the lines that were on the single sheet of paper.

Rebecca let them go, she is going to call them. She will make a show about Steven, but it is going to take a year to develop. But, for now. Steven Greg and Rose are going to go back home for now.

"Mom, Dad? can Clarence, Jeff, and Sumo sleepover?"

"Well…" Greg said. "You do go to the same school. And your mother can drive you and them to school. Alright."

Steven texted them and asked them. They all said yes and they got the sleepover set up.

"So, when are you doing the show?" Sumo asked, They were all riding their bikes to the treehouse, and Steven told his parents that they would be back later in the day.

"Next year, I don't know what month though," he told his friends.

"That's cool, man!" Sumo said.

"Heck yeah, it is!"

Clarence, Jeff, Sumo, and Steven were all at his house in his room, they were all playing GameCube, they were in their PJs, Greg had made dinner not so long ago, and now Steven was playing Mario Kart Double Dash. both boys watched Clarence and Jeff play, the hybrid was about to nod off on the opposite side of his bed, and Sumo was sitting cross-legged on the floor watching them. Steven fell asleep in minutes as Clarence and Jeff played.

"Hey, Clarence," Sumo said tapping him on the shoulder. The boy looks at him.

"Steven is asleep."

"Okay?"

"Wanna pull a prank on him?" Sumo asked. Clarence laughed as he paused. Jeff looked at them in annoyance. "What are you guys doing?"

"Were pulling a prank on Steven, wanna help?" Sumo asked.

"I am not getting involved with this," Jeff said, sighing. Clarence and Sumo had an idea, then smirked.

Oh no, this can't be good.

Greg and Rose were asleep, Clarence and Sumo both opened the door silently to their room. Sumo was looking around the room. Clarence tapped him on the shoulder. he looked at his friend and saw his mother's sword hung above their bed.

Sumo took it and walked out the door.

"Let's prank him."

Clarence and Sumo both ran back in screaming, Steven woke up with a Shrek and he saw his friend carrying his mother's sword "OH MY GOSH, OH MY—!" Steven ran out, Sumo chased him around with it. Jeff glares at Clarence, Clarence puts his arms in defense. Both Clarence and Jeff raced downstairs, both boys saw Steven go to the pool and jump in, Sumo was laughing, and Steven popped out and shook his head. Letting all the excess water fall from his hair. "WHAT THE FRICK GUYS?" Steven asked.

Clarence giggled, holding his phone. He got that on video. "Your parents didn't hear that?" Jeff asked.

"Their deep sleepers, WHAT THE HECK SUMO?" Sumo laughed, he grabbed him by the shirt and tossed him in the pool with him. The boys had a fun sleepover that night.
