Ezra In Beach City (Book 1)

Keep Beach City Weird

At the Beach House, Steven was running up to the house as if he was fleeing from something.

"PEARL!" Steven yelled.

Pearl rushed outside the house with her spear, ready for combat.

"Hyungh!" Pearl said.

"Help me, save me, help me!" Steven said before he jumped and clinged onto Pearl. "Save me!"

Garnet and Amethyst, who were shapeshifted into Steven, appeared and started running around Pearl while laughing. Ezra followed behind as he wore a Steven shirt.

"What on Earth?!" Pearl said in confusion.

"Tag! You're it." Steven said as he poked Pearl's forehead.

"Care to explain— Ugh!" Pearl asked before Steven put his finger in Pearl's mouth and she quickly pulled away. "...What's going on here?"

"It's Steven Tag!" Amethyst replied. "Steven tagged you, now you have to turn into Steven."

"It's the rules." Garnet said.

"Ugh." Pearl groaned. "Oh, please."

"Come on, Pearl." Ezra said. "Can't you at least shapeshift?"

"I do not shapeshift." Pearl replied.

"Awww, no fair!" Steven said in disappointment.

"Sooooo, that means we're out of players." Amethyst said as she turned to Garnet. "Get ready for Steven Tag Advance!"

Amethyst tried to tackle-tag Garnet, but she dodged Amethyst's tackle, grabbed her and threw her up into the sky. Garnet then leapt up and slapped Amethyst back downwards.

"Tag." Garnet said.

"Wwaaaahhh!!" Amethyst screamed as she crashed onto the beach.

Steven, Ezra, Garnet and Pearl looked over from the house porch at Amethyst, who lied in a crater in the sand.

"Ungh..." Amethyst moaned as she got up.

"Garnet wins." Garnet smiled.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At the beach, Steven and Ezra were strolling along the beach. Ezra took off the Steven shirt and Steven was singing a song.

"STOP!"

Steven and Ezra suddenly got halted by Ronaldo, as he wore a military style outfit and hid behind a rock.

"Who's this clown?" Ezra asked.

"It's Ronaldo, the blog guy." Steven whispered.

"Oh, him." Ezra said before his face went deadpan. "Let's go."

"No, wait." Steven said. "Let's find out what he's up to."

"Steven, he's obviously creeping up on something." Ezra replied. "Let's leave him be."

"At least we can find out what he's found." Steven suggested.

"Ugh, fine." Ezra groaned. "I don't know how you keep talking to me into doing these things."

"This is a restricted zone!" Ronaldo said as he tried to shoo Steven and Ezra away. "Only those with special clearance may enter!"

"...May, we have special clearance?" Steven asked.

"Hmmmm..." Ronaldo said as he glared at Steven and Ezra. "Granted."

Ronaldo had Steven and Ezra put on clear bags over their hands and feet and began rummaging into a duffel bag.
