Steven Universe Of The Creek

Chapter 39 Beyond The Pink Vision

After reuniting with J.P., Kelsey and Omar during their trip to the other side of the creek, Craig remained behind the group throughout the entire time. After taking the boat in the river, Kenneth looked back at Craig with his eyes still pink, only for Steven and Connie to keep his attention off of him, continuing their conversation on the other side.

"You sure Steven will take care of your eyes?" Kelsey said. "Because right now it may go all through your insides."

"And eventually, you might turn pink like Steven." J.P. added.

"If that were possible, I'm sure my cuz would turn into something different." Bryson added.

"Guys, give Craig a break." Omar replied. "It would be better if his pink problems are actually helpful."

"I would believe that if it was more than just the fusion I had with Steven." Craig looked at Kenneth, lucky enough he didn't turn around. "You have no idea the many different voices I've heard when I come across others here."

"It's not really a bad thing. How is it different from what you saw?"

"It's still unnatural?" Jessica commented. "If I had those powers, I would be more concerned rather than excited. Especially with what could happen with Steven around."

"Jessica." Craig sighed. "Just please make this a fun day? I'm lucky enough Kenneth is going with this, despite the fact it might get in the way of his relationship with Steven."

"You're never the problem." Bryson smiled. "You're not a third wheel in any of this. I'm sure something out of it will impress Kenneth in some way."

"Easy for you to say, your parents would keep you in quarantine if they saw you with pink eyes." Jessica said.

"Jessica!" Craig reacted as Kenneth turned around.

"Everything alright?" He spoked.

"Yes." Craig panted. "No problems."

As Kenneth took his word again, Steven and Connie witnessed the gate of the other side, opened with the kids inside. "We're here." Steven smiled, getting Kenneth's attention. "The other side."

"Look at that tree." Connie pointed. "These kids really know how to decorate."

"That's the throne." Kenneth answered. "It's where the king sits...and where my brother's used to be."

"Would he be upset if we took him here?" Steven asked.

"No, but him bragging even losing his reign wouldn't make this better for us."

"Good thing we're not the bragging type."

"Makes us related as buddies." Kenneth wrapped his arm around him. They entered through the gate with Connie by their side along with the Craig's gang from behind. With everyone around along with daylight, Steven felt like he was in a different creek entirely. He felt like this place is the Trading Tree but bigger, along with a football field next to the big tree. "We can only do one activity of your choosing, I don't mind what it is."

"Do you remember this place?"

"A little, but not much, especially that most of my old friends aren't here anymore just like me."

When Connie witnessed two kids, she pointed at them. "Can you talk to these two kids?" She offered.

Craig and his friends witness Raj and Shawn handing out flyer invitations to kids to participate in a contest they'd set up a few days earlier. "I was thinking of having him to meet Raj and Shawn at the Candy Bar, but they must be on break." Craig commented.
