Hey, guys. Welcome to the next Jurassic Universe Chapter. I hope that you guys will enjoy the new chapter...anyway, I don't own anything except for my OCs, as the OCs Arthur Galaxy, Tiger, John Galaxy, Harley Wilson, and Pamela Banner belong entirely to my friend 9655.
NOW LET'S GET ON WITH THE STORY!
"Ugh, Blue, I told you to not throw yourself into that mud puddle. Now, you got yourself so dirty." An annoyed Saurus scolds as it is a normal day in Beach City, and we see him washing a naked Blue's body with a cloth and some soap with the help of the Beach Showers that were placed near the Funland Arcade as Steven and Arthur stand around them to not have everyone see Blue's naked body.
"But Blue loves playing in the mud..." Blue says with a pout as Saurus rolls his eyes and reaches over to turn the faucet to shut off the water.
"Yes, which is why I had packed some extra clothes with us because I had an inkling you would throw yourself at a mud puddle," Saurus says with a blank and irritated tone while reaching behind him to grab a beach towel and began using it to dry her off before wincing in surprise as Blue got down on all fours and began shaking herself like a dog to dry herself off.
"Blue, come on! Don't get us wet!" Arthur scolded as Blue giggled and was about to run off, only to be grabbed by Saurus after he spawned out his Dinosaur Tail and began helping her put on her clothes as Amethyst appeared out of nowhere and held a cup of red french fries.
"Hey, guys, you wanna try some special new french fries?"
"Can't, too busy," Saurus says while struggling to have Blue put on her shirt due to her being in one of her, 'I don't want to wear clothes! I want to be nakey!' moods.
"No, thanks," Arthur says as Steven beams.
"Sure," Steven says while happily grabbing and eating a handful of fries as Amethyst chuckles loudly, creeping the boys out a bit as Steven, unwittingly, joins in...until his face begins to turn red, and screams in pain as he barfs out a small stream of red fire.
"HOT!"
"Steven!" Saurus, Arthur, and even Blue screamed worriedly as the latter quickly put on her shirt, and the trio ran over to check on a sweating and fire-breathing Steven.
"Amethyst, what did you put into those fries?!" Saurus asked sternly as Amethyst grinned slyly and reached behind her to pull out a vial of Fire Salt.
"I had seasoned those fries with Fire Salt," Amethyst says with a giggle as Steven, whose face is burning red, quickly turns around to run over to the Beach Showers and reaches over to attempt to turn the faucet back on, but it breaks off due to him accidentally using his Super Strength, forcing him to sprint towards the Big Donut, all while Amethyst laughs at him as Saurus and the others glared at her before turning around to run after their friend as we fast forward in time and cue over to the Big Donut as we see a panicking and red-faced Steven bursting into the store while making his way over to the soda fountain and sprays two types of soda into his mouth, thankfully cooling him off but he accidentally caused excess soda to be spilled onto the floor, forming a large puddle on the floor as an annoyed Lars steps out to confront him.
"Steven! What are you-Whoa!" Lars says before yelping in surprise as he slips on the soda puddle and crashes down into the ground just as Saurus and the others appear as they snort and laugh at this.
"Sorry, Lars..." An exhausted Steven apologized as Blue then calmed down and ran over to climb up his body to open her mouth and began drinking the soda.
"I'm not, that was hilarious," Arthur says with a laugh as an angry and annoyed Lars gets up from the floor.
"Ugh, Steven, who do you think has to clean up this mess?" Lars complained before turning to his friend. "Sadie, clean up this mess."
"No way, it's your turn. I cleaned the last five, 'Stevens', and 'Blues'," An annoyed Sadie says as Lars puts on a fake hurt look and begins rubbing his back.
"Aww, come on. That fall messed up my back. It hurts really bad." Lars whined with no one but Steven and Blue, falling for this as Sadie rolled her eyes in irritation but reluctantly brought out a mop and a bucket as she moved over to the soda puddle.
"Fine. Move aside, I'll take care of this."
"Don't worry, Sadie, I will help." Saurus reassuringly as Sadie smiled warmly and nodded.
"Thanks, Saurus. Hey, Lars, can you lead Saurus over to where we keep the soap?"
"Oh! It hurts...sooo much!" Lars says while letting out a fake anguished groan and exaggerates his 'back pain' as Saurus and Arthur give him a dry and withering look as Sadie, however, gets convinced by his fake pained cries and gives him a worried look.
"Maybe you should take the day off," Sadie suggests as, instantly, Lars stands upright and beams down at her.
"Okay, you gonna be fine on your own?"
"Well, I guess so, but-,"
"You're the best, Player Two!" Lars says with a wink before running off as Sadie blushed a bit and smiled as an angry Saurus turns to her.
"You do realize that he just played you, right?"
"What? No, he didn't. Lars had some serious back pain and had to leave." Sadie says with Saurus closing his eyes and sighing heavily, feeling sad that Sadie had such a toxic friend like Lars as the blonde-haired girl then flinched in realization and sweatdropped nervously. "Wait, I can't run this place by myself!"
"We can help!" Steven says with a grin while carrying around Blue on his shoulders as a surprised Sadie turns to them. "This place has given me so many delicious donuts. It's time I gave back."
"Blue wants to help," Blue says while covered head to toe with soda as Saurus spots this and shakes his head in disbelief and amusement as he turns to Sadie.
"Yeah, we can help you out with running the Big Donut for the day."
"Don't worry, we got this." Arthur says with a nod as Sadie blinks slowly and smiles warmly as she nods.

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 slyly with her Dual Gemstones glowing brightly as Arthur stood beside her and grinned slyly as the 18-year-old Man lifted up his right arm to show off his glowing Gemstone and we then see a pair of smirking Pearl and Amethyst riding around on Blue's back with their Gemstones glowing brightly and the 10-year-old Female Hybrid Child was transformed into her Full Dinosaur Form as a roaring Saurus suddenly 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, Saurus transformed into his True Dinosaur Form, Arthur summoned his spiked gauntlets, and Blue transformed into her Full Dinosaur Form as the Crystal Gems then mounted onto Saurus's back and charged forward at high speeds as they all let out a loud battle cry.
That's why the people of this world
Always believe in...
Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl, Arthur, and Blue...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 was able to arrive at their home, and the Crystal Gems got off Saurus's dinosaur 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!}
"I hereby deputize Steven Quartz Universe, Saurus, Arthur Galaxy, and Blue as Temporary Workers for the Big Donut for today," Sadie says while hanging the gang their own Big Donut Uniforms as they take turns using the bathrooms to change into their temporary work uniforms.
"Nice," Saurus says while admiring his Temporary Work Uniform, which consists of him wearing a long-sleeved periwinkle polo underneath a dark purple shirt that displays the Big Donut Logo, a black belt with a silver belt buckle, long black pants, and a pair of black sandals.
"Neato," Steven says while admiring his Temporary Work Uniform, which consists of him wearing a long-sleeved periwinkle polo underneath a light purple shirt that displays the Big Donut Logo, a black belt with a silver belt buckle, long cuffed blue jeans, and a pair of salmon pink flip flop sandals.
"Blue love these clothes," Blue says with a beaming smile on her face while twirling around to marvel at her Temporary Work Uniform, which consists of her wearing a periwinkle cap with the Big Donut Logo attached to it, a long-sleeved periwinkle polo underneath a dark purple shirt that displays the Big Donut Logo, a black belt with a silver belt buckle, long black jeans, and a pair of black sandals as she also had her long black hair tied up into a high ponytail with her stripe of long blue hair and another stripe of black hair framing her face.
"So what now?" Arthur asked curiously while wearing his Temporary Work Uniform, which consisted of him wearing a periwinkle cap with the Big Donut Logo attached to it, a long-sleeved periwinkle polo underneath a dark purple shirt that displays the Big Donut Logo, a black belt with a silver belt buckle, long black pants, and a pair of black/white shoes.
"Well, now, it's time I showed you guys the Employee Room," Sadie says with an overdramatic tone while leading the group into the Big Donut Break Room, which is populated by several large supply boxes on the right, over a dozen Donut boxes lining the back left, and a CRT TV, two folding chairs, and a small circular table furnishing the front left.
"Ooh, secret room," Blue says with starry eyes as she gets down on all fours and begins running around the room to explore the place as a bemused Sadie points over to some boxes filled with supplies.
"Let me give you the tour. These are the extra supplies. Cups, plastic silverware...sometimes I sleep on the napkins when I get tired."
"Is that why they're called, nap-kins?" Steven says with a sly grin as the gang laughs, and Sadie snorts amusedly while shaking her head as she tries to rub his head affectionately, but forgets that he is now two inches taller than her and merely pats him on the back.
"Not really, no. Good joke, though." Sadie says as we then point over at the tables and chairs. "On breaks, we chill out here. We can even watch TV." Sadie says as she then leaned over to whisper into their ears. "Sometimes, Lars will cover for me so I can watch Canine Court."
"Don't worry, we won't tell anyone," Arthur promised while zipping up their lips as Sadie smiled and nodded as she then led them over to another pile of boxes.
"Now, most important of all, this is where we store, the donuts. They're mailed in from some corporate bake-station."
"Wait, the Big Donut don't make donuts?" A surprised Blue asked as Sadie frowned somberly and shook her head.
"No, not since...the accident," Sadie says sadly while pointing over to the corner of the room, revealing a blast mark on the wall outlining a human body as the Crystal Gems's eyes widened in shock and horror.
"...Did...did someone die-,"
"Anyway, what else do you have to tell us, Sadie?" Saurus asked with an awkward laugh while he and Arthur pushed Steven and Blue away from the blast mark on the wall as Sadie nodded and led them over to sit down on the chairs as she gestured over at the TV.
"Well, guys, this job is a big responsibility, so you're gonna have to watch this videotape," Sadie says as she reaches behind her to pull out a VHS Tape.
"What is it?" Steven asked curiously as Blue reached over to grab the VHS Tape and eyed it confusedly as she even began biting it.
"It's like a DVD shaped like a box," Arthur explained as Saurus nodded while reaching over to grab the VHS Tape from Blue's arms and handed it over to Sadie.
"Yeah, when I was young and I had...breaks from my experiments, my Mom had me watch Disney Movies from VHS Tapes," Saurus explains with Steven and the others being intrigued by the small fact about his life before Sadie inserts the tape into the VHS player of the TV as the tape begins playing a work safety video with upbeat music, the star being a Younger Mr. Smiley.
"Mr. Smiley used to work here?" A surprised Arthur asked as Sadie shook her head.
"No, but he used to be an actor/R singer." Sadie says as the lengthy video then informs the group about safety procedures such as the Heimlich Maneuver and fire extinguishing through Mr. Smiley's song, 'Do or Do Nut' as Steven and Blue are seen enjoying the video, but Sadie, Saurus, and Arthur are greatly bored as, after the video ends, the blonde-haired girl steps forth to retrieve the VHS tape.
"Wow, that was great. Are all video tapes that informative?" Steven asked excitedly as Sadie nodded.
"In my experience, yeah," Sadie says with a nod as we fast forward in time, and we see the gang returning back to the front of the store and starting serving customers as Saurus finishes serving Mr. Fryman and Peedee and then turns to Sadie.
"So, how long have you been working here anyway?"
"Well, it started out as just a summer job, but...that was two summers ago," Sadie says with a rather depressed tone as Radishes and her Mom appear in the store as Steven and Blue go over to greet them.
Standing before them is the Present Day Version of Vidalia, which consists of her being a 5-feet-tall, 36-year-old Female Human with black eyes that have light magenta/pale pink eyeshadow, knee-length light honey-blond hair that seems to spike around her face and top of her head as it was tied up into a high ponytail, thick black eyebrows, a small pointy nose, light magenta/pale pink lipstick, a sharp chin, G-Cup Breasts, Pale Skin, a short slender hourglass build, a heart-shaped perky ass, and her outfit consists of a long-sleeved high-collared mint green dress shirt that reaches down to her legs, a short-sleeved white t-shirt underneath with a boob window that showed off her cleavage, slate-blue overalls, and a pair of thigh-high red boots.
"Hey, Aunt Vidalia!" Steven greeted as Vidalia smiled and reached over to rub his head.
"Hey, Steven, you work at the Big Donut now?"
"Only temporary," Steven explained as Blue beamed and leaped over to tackle Raddishes into the ground as she began licking her face.
"Oh, I'm sorry about that, Ma'am. Blue gets overexcited when she sees Raddishes." Arthur apologized as Vidalia giggled and waved off his concerns.
"Don't worry, Raddishes told me about this, and told me how much she loves Blue and loves when she licks her."
"Wah, Wah, Wah, Wah, Wah, Wah!" A heavily embarrassed Raddishes says with a big blush on her face while allowing Blue to continue licking her as Vidalia giggled and then ordered her food as the boys rang her up and gave her a bag filled with donuts before she scooped up her Daughter and turned around to leave as Mr. Smiley approaches the counter.
"Hmm, I'll have a-,"
"Donuts! At the Big Donut~!" An excited Steven sang with Mr. Smiley perking up as he joined in.
"They make the world go round~!" Steven and Mr. Smiley sang in unison as they shared a laugh.
"Wow, I can't believe you used to be a real actor/R singer."
"...Used to be?" A disappointed Mr. Smiley asked while pouting as Arthur served him his donuts, and he turned around to leave the store. "Kids these days, they don't know anything..."
"Wow, I'm impressed, last time someone mentioned that song we couldn't get Mr. Smiley to go home." An amused Sadie says as Saurus returns back from serving himself a hot cup of coffee and makes an extra one for Sadie as he hands it to her. "Oh, thanks. Heh, maybe I should phone up Lars to tell him he can stay home because I found his replacements?"
"Heh, no thanks, I already work with the Pizzas and that's enough," Saurus says with a playful tone as he and Sadie share a laugh.
"Wait, we can really work here?!" Steven asked with he and Blue gaining starry eyes as Sadie blinked in shock and laughed again.
"Oh, no, that was just a joke, kids."
"But Blue likes working here. It's fun..." A pouting and saddened Blue says as Steven nods in agreement and reaches over to grab her to pull her closer to him.
"Yeah, besides, I know we both love Lars, but this job is the best thing to ever happen to us and we should fire Lars and have Blue and I work here instead."
"Okay, guys, look, one, we can't fire Lars. Second, I can't hire you guys to work here permanently due to child labor laws." Sadie admitted sheepishly as Steven and Blue groaned in disappointment.
"So, quick question, why can't you fire Lars? I mean, no offense, but the guy barely works here at all." Saurus pointed out as Sadie flinched nervously and sweated awkwardly.
"Well, uh, okay, he may do things like come in late, and leave all the really hard work for me...but look, I like Lars, h-he's a nice guy... once you get to know him."
"Really? Because I've been here for weeks and I haven't seen any nice side of him at all." Arthur says as Saurus nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, I've been here for months and I still see none of his nice sides. Hell, not even Blue likes him and she likes everyone."
"Look, guys, I know that Lars is a huge asshole with hardly any empathy but...there was this one time when the new 'Army of War' Game was coming out, but Lars was banned from the only place selling it. He wanted it so bad." Sadie says with a laugh as Saurus and the others turn to her curiously. "So who does he beg to stand in line for seven hours? Me. I didn't think much of it, but when I got to his house, I saw he cleaned up his room a little, and he got a big box of Oyster crackers. They're my favorite. He let me be his Player Two, and we spent the whole night together." Sadie says as she stares admiringly into her coffee with a big blush on her face.
"Huh, so he does the bare minimum and does one nice thing and suddenly that justifies everything he does?" A disbelieving Saurus thought to himself incredulously but wisely said nothing as an innocent Steven smiled.
"That really is nice. Must've been one great video game." Steven says as Sadie froze and blushed heavily as she laughed awkwardly.
"Yeah, it was," Sadie says as Saurus blinked slowly and leaned over to her.
"Wait, don't tell me that you actually had sex with Lars," A shocked Saurus whispered into her ear as Sadie blushed harder and nodded.
"Y-Yeah...he didn't last long or cuddled with me afterwards but it was...nice," Sadie admitted sincerely as Saurus stared at her in disbelief, but after seeing Arthur shake his head at him, he once again wisely kept his mouth shut and a smiling Blue leaped onto the counter.
"Blue wants Pack to do something nice for Lars!" Blue exclaimed, shocking everyone as we fast forward in time, and we see the gang making their way to Lars' house with a large box of donuts in Sadie's arms as Steven and Blue sang in the tune of, 'Do or Do Nut'.
"I thought you wanted this to be a surprise. He can hear us a mile away." A grinning Saurus says as Steven beamed.
"But the Donut fever's fried my soul," Steven says with a smirking Sadie pats him on the back as the gang approaches the front door of Lar's Home and is about to knock on it but stops as the gang spots the Fish Stew Pizza Car parked out front.
"Aw, he's already ordered pizza." A disappointed Blue says as the others sigh heavily and are planning to leave, but stop upon hearing Lars laughing from his backyard, and Saurus and the others make their way over to peek over the side of the house and find him jumping and bouncing on a trampoline with Jenny, John, Sour Cream and Buck Dewey.
"Hey, Lars, thanks for inviting us over," Jenny says as Lars blushes and grins as he laughs dorkly.
"It's no problem because I got the whole day off, by faking a severe back injury," Lars says while sharing a high five with Jenny and Sour Cream as John glares at him.
"Come on, man, that's not cool." John scolded as we cue back to the others, and we see Saurus frowning darkly as he scoffed.
"Having a nice side my ass," Saurus says as a disgusted Steven nodded in agreement.
"How could he do this?"
"Lars is mean. Not a part of the Pack." Blue says with an angry huff as Arthur nods.
"Yeah, I mean, we knew that he was faking this whole time but to actually brag about this to others is completely unacceptable..." Arthur says before he and the others notice an emotionally distraught Sadie shaking with Lars' Gift while on the verge of tears, as she realizes that she has been noticed in a vulnerable state and tosses the box of donuts on the ground as Sadie turns around to run away.
"Sadie, wait-,"
"Steven, I think that Arthur and I should handle this. Just stay here with Blue until we come back." Saurus says to Steven and Blue, who pouted but nod as the boys run after Sadie, who appears in front of Lars' House and slightly recoils at seeing Jenny's car once more before the boys manage to catch up with her as Saurus reaches over to grab her arm.
"Sadie, wait!"
"Let me go, Saurus, I have to go!"
"No, Sadie, we can't let you run off like this!" Arthur yelled firmly as Sadie froze and teared up as she ran over to hug Saurus and began crying into his chest.
"Guys! He's made a fool of me! I'm such an Idiot!" Sadie sobbed as Saurus shook his head with a glare.
"No, Lars is a fucking idiot for taking advantage of such a great person like you!" Saurus says angrily, realizing why Sadie was so devastated by this as it was clearly obvious that she had fallen in love with Lars when they had sex with each other a while back but it's obvious that Lars doesn't quite feel the same way she does.
"I...I...It's just that he burned me before...I just wish...that I can burn him for once..." Sadie says while still hugging Saurus and shedding tears as he and Arthur perk up and share a sly grin.
"We know how to burn people," Arthur says as a sniffling Sadie glances up at them confusedly.
"Fire Salt!" A beaming Blue says as we cut to the next day, and we see the gang returning back to the Break Room of the Big Donut while wearing their Big Donut Uniforms as they spot a crying Sadie watching Canine Court while eating oyster crackers as Arthur goes over to grab a donut and placed it in front of Sadie
"Burn, burn, people!" A grinning Steven says as Saurus reaches into his pocket to hold out a vial of Fire Salt and attempts to add the salt onto it, but is stopped by a stern Sadie as she reaches over to snatch the vial of Fire Salt from him.
"Guys, you know we can't add anything to the donuts!"
"It's just a little Fire Salt. We were going to prank Lars and get some payback on him." Saurus says as he and Arthur had explained to Steven and Blue what happened while obviously excluding all of the Adult Parts of the story as they were eager to get revenge on Lars for hurting Sadie.
"...Well...he did really hurt my feelings...a little...but what kind of person does that make us, if we try to hurt him back?" Sadie asked firmly just the front doorbell went off as Lars entered the store, groaning in false pain as the gang was able to see him enter through the glass donut cabinet.
"Ohh! Oh, my back! Sadie, I finally got out of bed but I don't think I can work today, either...Sadie?! Don't make me walk all the way to the break room!" Lars whined as, enraged, Sadie applied the whole vial of the Fire Salt to the top of the donut.
"Sadie, this is gonna be so funny," Arthur says with a big grin on his face as he and the others walk out of the Break Room to appear at the counter as Lars has his back turned against them and looks around in mild annoyance.
"Yo, Sadie, where you at?! Are you slacking off?!"
"Lars," Sadie says coldly as a surprised Lars turns to them and eyes Saurus and the others oddly.
"Why are Saurus and the others in Donut suits?"
"Don't worry about that. How's your back?" Sadie asked with a very angry tone as her eyes narrowed.
"Oh, actually it still hurts like, but it's cool. I know I can count on you to help, 'P2'," Lars says with a wink as Sadie's face flushed in embarrassment and anger as she then took a deep breath to calm herself and held out the donut dosed in Fire Salt.
"...Sure. Just relax, in fact, why don't you have a donut?"
"Yeah, alright," Lars says with a casual shrug as he reaches over to grab the donut.
"Careful, it's a little hot," Sadie warned with Saurus and the others stifling their laughter as a bewildered Lars took a bite of the donut.
"Hey, this is pretty good, is this a new flavor or something?" Lars asked...before his face swelled up and he began to breathe a persistent stream of red fire, lighting the store aflame as he and the others yelled in panic with Steven reflexively summoned his giant-sized Shield out of his Gem and held it in front of him to protect his friends as a worried Sadie runs to a fire extinguisher on a wall.
"Guys, help Lars!" Sadie ordered as Saurus grew serious and slid underneath Steven's Shield to run over to the soda machine as he quickly filled up a cup of water and rushed back to a fire-breathing Lars.
"Lars, drink this!" Saurus ordered while handing Lars the cup of water, which he burned before he could consume as Lars roared out in pain and agony as he fled the store while holding his breath.
"No, Lars! Come back!" A concerned Sadie yelled while putting out the fire with her fire extinguisher before the sprinklers in the store came on as she turned to the others panickedly. "Guys, I didn't want this!"
"We neither! The Fire Salt wasn't this powerful when Steven accidentally ate it!" Arthur pointed out as Steven shrunk down his shield and held out his hand reassuringly.
"Don't worry, we know how to fix this! We just need to get Lars to calm down!"
"How are we gonna find him?!"
"Fire!" Blue screamed while pointing out of the store to show a trail of fire on the ground as the gang shared a look and nodded as we then see them bursting out of the Big Donut with the Hybrid Siblings transformed into their Full Dinosaur Forms and running across Beach City on all fours as Saurus carried around Steven and Arthur while Blue carried around Sadie, who was putting out the flames with her fire extinguisher as they chased after Lars with said person running through the streets, continuously breathing a big stream of red fire as we cue over to Mayor Dewey and we see said person holding a press conference by a statue of himself and a giant bowl of ice cream.
"...and of the many treasures of our wonderful city, this is certainly one of the sweetest! As Mayor, I'm proud to unveil this, the largest bowl of ice cream in Beach County! Yes, let's all scream for ice cream!" Mayor Dewey screamed with the crowd applauding for him as, suddenly, Lars appeared out of nowhere and charged over to fling himself into the bowl of ice cream, hoping to cool himself, but only caused the ice cream to melt entirely and cover the citizens as he then takes off running again and annoyed Mayor Dewey reached into his pocket to pull out his phone. "Yeah, it melted, Gary...well, you should've said that at the meeting!" Mayor Dewey snapped angrily just as the others appeared as they ran past them, and we cue over to the Funland Arcade as we see Lars falling down on the boardwalk and Saurus and the boys appeared as Steven and Arthur jumped off to land on the ground as the trio were surprised to see Amethyst still be in her exact same position as the day before and eating fries.
"Hey, boys, why is Donut Guy breathing fire?"
"We tried to prank Lars but we used too much Fire Salt," Steven explained as Amethyst blinked slowly.
"Steven, that's hilarious."
"YOU...GUYS...DID...THIS...TO ME?!" A very furious Lars screamed while struggling to talk, getting out words in-between red fire breaths as he ran over to try and attack Steven while setting the boardwalk aflame in the process as the Human/Gem Hybrid flinched in fear and reacted instinctively by thrusting his Shield forward as it grew in size and wrap around Lars to form into the Bubble Shield, containing him inside safely as he continued breathing out more and more streams of red flames that didn't burn through the Bubble Shield at all.
"Whoa! How did I do that?!" A stunned Steven asked while glancing down at his hands as Amethyst looked on, greatly amused and laughing away as the girls appeared.
"It wasn't Steven! It was me!" Sadie yelled while using her fire extinguisher to put out the flames as she still rode around on Blue's back.
"Ohhh, now it's gettin' good!" An intrigued Amethyst says before yelping in pain as an annoyed Arthur bonks her on the head as Lars then holds onto his throat and struggles to breathe as he glances over at Sadie with a surprised look on his face.
"After all I do for you, you lied to me?! So you can sneak off with some other girl who is already taken?!"
"And other boys!" Blue added as Lars briefly glared down at her before noticing Sadie tearing up as she choked back a sob, and walked over to place her hand on Steven's Bubble Shield.
"That night we played video games, I don't know what it meant to you, but ever since then, I can't get the thought out of my head that you're a good person. That night, I really thought...Player Two. Is that just your way of saying I could've been anyone?"
"Sadie..." Lars says while attempting to speak without breathing fire as he began choking and Saurus spotted this as he turned to give Steven a serious look.
"Steven, put down the bubble!" Saurus ordered as Steven nodded and disabled his Bubble Shield as he ran over to appear behind him and grabbed him from behind as the Human/Dinosaur Teenage Hybrid performed the Heimlich Maneuver on Lars, causing him to cough out a portion of the Fire Salt dosed donut as Arthur ran over to grab it after summoning his left spiked gauntlet and then fired it out like a rocket as it flew over to crash down into the ocean, dousing it as everyone sighs in relief and a coughing and recovered Lars was put down on the ground by Saurus as he then ashamedly approaches Sadie who finished putting out the fires as she lowered herself down from Blue's back and she and her Brother then morphed back into their Human Forms.
"I'm not apologizing."
"No! I wanna help!" Lars yelled with a strained voice while coughing up some smoke as a surprised Sadie turned to him. "But I get it if you wanna be alone!"
"Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no stay. I me-I mean, you can help, but first, let's get you some water, and maybe get you out of those burnt shirts." Sadie says while grabbing an injured Lars and dragging him away as Amethyst walks up to the group.
"Hey, we make a pretty great team."
"You were absolutely no help whatsoever," Saurus said with an annoyed glare as Amethyst shrugged and continued eating away with her fries.
"Eh..."
"You do realize that we are going to tell Pearl about you using Fire Salts on Steven and for allowing us to use them to prank Lars?" Arthur asked, causing Amethyst to pout as she groaned in disappointment.
And done. I hope you guys enjoyed the new chapter, and I can't wait to write the next chapter.
Anyway, as always, I will catch you all later.
