Steven Universe Of The Creek

Chapter 4 Steven Or Author Steven?

Morning came around, with Bernard heading straight to his job at Pasta La Vista. He texted Steven to remind him about coming over and he didn't forget. After his friends enjoyed the film, he'll be looking forward to what Bernard does for a living, but he has one errand to do after leaving his rented apartment.

Craig left his home, soon enough meeting his two best friends, Kelsey and J.P. Upon heading to the Herkleton Public Library, he told everything that happened last night, and how Steven is different compared to his brother's friends.

"You're telling us that he's hiding something in his belly button!?" J.P. reacted.

"Like a special ability a video game character offers?" Kelsey added.

"All I know is that he has something underneath his shirt, I just don't know what it is." Craig signed. "I've been thinking about it ever since I woke up this morning."

"I thought at first he was some kind of supernatural human with mystical powers, but he's not a bad guy the more I think about it." J.P. replied. "Although the thing under his shirt is a huge mystery."

"Guys, even if we asked what he's hiding, I doubt that he is much more different than all of us. Like what we do at the creek. He told me he doesn't have time to see the creek itself."

"Does that bother you?" Kelsey wondered.

"He's not the same age as us, I'm sure everyone who's been at the creek for a while would know this." As they came across the public library itself, they stopped at the front door to reflect on the visitor in question. Craig could only imagine if he knew who Steven is if he knew his life then anyone. "I'm starting to believe he's from someplace far away from Herkleton."

As Craig and his friends enter through the door, they head straight to where Stacks is at. After agreeing with the changes of the cover art of her and Kelsey's book, all that's left is to color all over it which Craig and J.P. offered to help.

"If Steven actually enjoys reading, would he read something that I enjoy?" Kelsey asked. "Or maybe he's an author like I am."

"I guess from how nice he is, he seems like an author, but I doubt it has something to do with his belly button." Craig replied.

"Yeah, if he's really an author, his powers would be in his brain, not his stomach." J.P. added.

"Stacks!" Kelsey called, getting the attention from Stacks who's sitting by one of the library tables. "We're finally here!"

"Good, I've got all the colors." Stacks lifting her small box of color markers. Craig and his friends sat next to Stacks as they began coloring the book cover.

"I have a question, Stacks." Craig said, coloring the background of the cover. "If you ever met someone who's an expert with fiction topics, would you feel surprised when they're reading you and Kelsey's book?"

"Don't you mean author?"

"Kind of."

"Having that type of person reading a book of ours would give us more inspiration than before." Kelsey smiled.

"Even from someone who isn't a pro at being an author?" Stacks turning to Kelsey. "What are you referring to?"

"Steven."

"Steven who?"

"My brother didn't tell me who his last name is." Craig answered. "If I knew what his last name was, his life would still be very private from anyone."

After Stacks placed his marker on the table, she can only imagine Steven being a natural as a fiction expert. "Do you think he's willing to read at least one page to give us some advice?"
