Steven Universe Of The Creek

Chapter 23 Walking On Water In Freedom

Steven and Connie un-fused after the group left Ninja Garden Waterfall with Omar taking the lead for once. He wished there's a way for him to contact the person from his phone, but he doesn't have her number. The only guess he has is the place where a few people from the other side of the Creek go to ever since the Capture The Flag war ended. He once went there with the person he used to be enemies with.

"Omar." Steven replied. "You sure you know where you're going?"

"Yes, it's just I'm trying to find one person who could be at another waterfall."

"There's another waterfall?" Connie spoked.

"Bigger than the last one."

Craig can tell who he's trying to find, but he's not happy to meet her again. He's unsure if she heard about Steven this morning, but he hopes she doesn't do anything that could lead to disaster. Soon Omar started to remember the trail that leads to the waterfall itself. The more he continued following the trail, he heard the waterfall and so did the group.

When they arrived at the location, they witnessed the huge waterfall pouring down behind trees. "Wow!" Connie commented. "That's a big waterfall."

"That's not it. Look down there." Omar pointed to focus their attention. Not only there's another waterfall above, but also a lake that the waterfall is pouring into. "Some kids have their swimsuits on if they want to take a dip in there."

"Swimming in there?" Craig replied. "If I had this in my map earlier, I would've offered to have you swim here Steven."

"I would be happy about that but I was never in a swimming mood all day." Steven crossed his arms. "This may bring me memories of when I went swimming back at Beach City and this place is wonderful, but last night has still been on my mind."

"Still though, I would swim here if I had my swimsuit." Connie smiled.

Omar looked everywhere to find the person, however, he's out of luck. Then Lion walked up to him, getting a better view of the lake he found appealing. As he looked at Omar, he wondered what person he wanted to show his group, giving the history he had with her. "You wouldn't believe what me and Craig went through in Capture The Flag." He then looked away from him. "Even though what you, Steven, and Connie went through was a lot difficult, it was still a tough time before the war in the creek."

"I would've been more enticing if I meant someone who's part of that one, especially the former king." Steven walked up next to Lion.

"Trust me, if those gems from last night were part of our war, on the enemy's side, we would actually lose."

"We wouldn't be hanging around if Xavier took over the creek." Craig filling in.

"I can't imagine how you would feel if you came here that way." J.P. added.

"I would take matters in my own hands, but forbidding my powers, just the more mature way." Steven replied.

"You would probably not like the way he reacts when you talk to him." Omar said. "His former BFF would tell you everything about him."

Then Maya, who just hiked with people from the other side of the creek an hour ago, took off on her own as she arrived at the waterfall. The first person she noticed is Steven himself who heard her footsteps close by. "Is that his former BFF?" He pointed.

When Omar saw Maya, it made him relieved that he found her. "Yes, she is."

Maya walked up to Steven while she crossed her arms. She didn't say a word, she still remembers the photo she saw from her former BFF's bedroom where Steven hugged Craig. She knows Craig's around, but she'll give him space knowing he wants nothing to do with her. Steven didn't feel suspicious, but he's still unsure if he'll trust her if she changes after the war.
