Steven Universe Of The Creek

Chapter 19 Perilous Sewage To Lazurite Sewage

Steven placed both of his hands on Craig's head, looking straight into his eyes. He spent the last two minutes trying to see his eyes turn pink again, after the incident from the Tea Timers' Club. Luckily, Craig's eyes did turn pink, catching Steven by surprise along with the others.

"They've turned pink again." Kelsey reacted.

"Okay, just don't move." Steven responded. In Craig's vision, he saw Steven as a monster again. However it felt like he was talking to him, despite what the Crystal Gems did back then. "It had to be my saliva going through his ear."

"It all makes sense now." Craig replied.

"Did you give him that when you were at his grandparents house?" Omar asked.

"Yes but I wasn't in a good mood when he showed me his gem two nights ago."

As Steven let go of Craig, his pink eyes went away, returning back to normal. "I didn't think my saliva could affect someone like that. It's gonna be permanent since it happened to Connie when I helped her with her eyes." This caused Steven to cross his arms. "There isn't much more I can do to help."

Just before Steven looked into his eyes, Craig put on his water shoes with him officially picking the location for Steven. "The good thing is, it's only happening in my mind and not out in the open." Craig replied. "But you're right, we have to do something to get rid of it."

"As if calling Garnet wasn't enough."

"I was thinking of how cool it is to have pink eyes but...you won't see things the same way after drinking pink lemonade." J.P. commented.

"If you actually drink the straw that I used so...it's not the lemonade itself."

"We can figure this out later before it's too late." Craig turned around to show Steven the next destination of their activity. "Welcome...to the sewers." He pointed at the sewers. "This is where the Sewer Queen's at."

This caused Steven to smile a bit. "I actually saw her when she and other kids headed to the creek when Bernard gave me a tour in the neighborhood."

"Not to mention she was with us when...the whole battle you had happened." Kelsey added.

"I didn't forget but...it's still awkward there's a sewer queen...in the sewers." Steven looked at the sewer itself.

"It's just a visit, we won't do anything inside." Craig jumped in the river. As his friends also jumped in, Steven slowly stepped into the water. As they walked up to the sewer itself, the pink and blue noodle guards came out like they always do, but with the events that occurred last night, it affected everyone in the sewers more than what Craig, Steven and his friends thinked.

"The sewers are on lockdown at the moment." The pink noodle guard explained.

"On lockdown?" Craig wondered.

"Shouldn't there be caution tape if it's on lockdown?" Omar added.

"It has nothing to do with the water." The blue noodle guard then walked up to Omar straight in the eye. "It's what Bluebird can do with the water."

This caused Steven to catch on, knowing that Aquamarine is dangerous in her fusion with Ruby. "Is it okay if we can go inside? We could work this out." Steven offered.

"The Sewer Queen did want to meet you after last night's events." The pink noodle guard replied. "Luckily enough, the sewer kids don't view you as the enemy."

"That's a relief."

"But for Bluebird...it may make them scared." The noodle guards invite them inside the sewer.
