The orange sky got darker with the streetlights in the neighborhood flickering into life. It was a long day for Steven to spend his time at the creek and even if it wasn't the best day of his life, he at the very least spent time with Craig and knew him better than he did himself. But tonight has finally come. He and Craig know that Craig's parents are at their house, possibly waiting for them to arrive. After coming out from the Creek, they walked up to Craig's house, while also remembering that Lion is still out in the open.
"We need to make sure we show them Lion, but not this way." Craig walked up to the front door.
"Maybe we can surprise them by not scaring them." Steven replied. "Lion, can you go to the backyard and wait?"
Lion agreed as he jumped on the roof, making his way to the backyard. "They will know it's not Santa Claus up there." Jessica commented.
"We should've told him to teleport to the backyard." Connie flinched.
"Let's go in...and hope for the best." Craig took out his house key as he unlocked the front door. The moment he opened the door, he saw his brother Bernard sitting on the steps.
"Hi Craig...and Steven." He waved. "How was your day?"
"Better than last night."
Bernard slowly stood up as Craig closed the front door. He still felt uncomfortable all day due to what happened last night. "Please tell me you're not gonna explode again."
"He won't, where's Mom and Dad?"
"They're in the living room...waiting." He then turned to the hallway with the TV on in the living room. "My girlfriend, Alexis, came over to check up on me. She agreed to be part of this meeting tonight."
"I don't need to know if you or her told them about last night." Steven replied.
"Then we shouldn't keep them waiting any longer." Connie said.
"Well, here we go, let's do this." Craig spoked.
They made their way down the hallway with no food on the kitchen table nor in the kitchen itself. Craig may have had dinner two days ago, but by the looks of this, it's more serious. When they turn to the left, Duane, Nicole, and Alexis are sitting on the sofa. They heard the front door pushed open and footsteps, knowing they're skipping dinner after witnessing that Steven's van was in their driveway. Nicole turned off the TV with the remote, she, her husband and Bernard's girlfriend turned around to see Steven again.
"I thought yesterday would be the last time we would meet." Nicole stood up from the sofa. "But after what Bernard told us, we don't see you the same way as when you got here."
"You didn't think Bernard's making things up?"
"We wouldn't be good parents if we thought that."
Nicole and Duane walked up in front of the group, looking straight at Steven, while Alexis stood in place. "Steven, we heard about you...exploding with Benard in your old apartment yesterday."
"Did he tell you I have something hiding in my shirt?" Steven guessed.
"Yes and everything Craig told us a few days ago, we thought about him."
Steven and Craig decided to cut to the chase as they walked by the TV to show them the truth. "Three nights ago when I met him after leaving the Creek, I bumped into him where I felt..." Craig stopped himself as Steven filled in by lifting his shirt up.
"He felt my gem." He replied as Craig's parents witnessed his gem for the first time.
"Also." Jessica chimed in. "His shield was made out of magic."
