At the Trading Tree, Cannonball and Sparkle Cadet were together with a small cooler by their side. From the other side, a girl was playing a Slide The Ferret game on her portable gaming system, thrilled after beating the hardest level from it. Craig's group arrived at the Trading Tree as Craig's relieved he found three kids for his next activity. "Yes!" He cheered. "This is gonna work for all of us!" He rushed to the girl with Steven right behind him. "Diane." He called, getting her attention after she put her portable system away.
"Craig?" She smiled.
"Would you be interested in joining us on a quest?"
"Sure, why not?"
"We're gonna be going to a location where...Steven's friend requested."
"But it's a secret." Steven filled in.
"A secret huh?" Diane crossed her arms. "Bet there's more to that after hearing about you."
"That would be true if I actually knew where we're going. So Diane's a fan of Slide The Ferret?" He turned to Craig.
"Yes." Craig responded. "And I've been really getting along with her because of that."
"If only that franchise was available for my systems."
"Console exclusives exist for one reason or another, giving the console games other consoles won't get, or...mainly for budget cuts." Diane said.
"I'll guess the former." Steven laughed.
When Craig turned to Cannonball and Sparkle Cadet, they've been waiting for him ever since they traded items for what they have in their cooler. After spending time with Steven, they hoped he'll return while showing him what they and Craig did last Summer.
"You like ice pops Steven?" Craig asked.
"Yes, including Connie."
"Can I pick my own flavor? Diane requested.
"Yes, you can." Upon heading up to Cannonball and Sparkle Cadet, they grew a smile as they lifted the cooler up together.
"Ready for the Ice Pop Trio to go on a brand new adventure!?" Sparkle Cadet cheered.
"You caught on and you bet!" Craig gave Cannonball a high five. "Is there enough ice pops for everyone?"
"Don't worry, they're enough for the whole group the way I'm seeing it." Cannonball turned to Craig's group, always a step ahead to make Craig's friends happy for frozen desserts.
After leaving The Trading Tree, Craig and his group are eating ice pops in different flavors. Steven and Connie sucked on them with Cannonball, Sparkle Cadet and Diane by their side. Kenneth while sucking his ice pop, walked with Steven behind. "You're still aware where we're going?"
"Yes, while we're making this adventure really memorable, you're still leading the way where you want to go." Steven responded.
This caused Jessica to pull Steven's shirt, catching his attention. "But is the place supposed to be private?"
"No, I don't think so."
"But it is a mystery." Kenneth recalled. "And since everyone knows about...the thing with Craig's eyes, it's not really a private meeting as I thought."
Steven always thought that the Other Side was the location that had mysteries compared to the main side of the creek. But then again, he only remembered how far he went days ago with the limited time he had, unlike today. He turned to the three kids, two of which he met while the one he didn't.
"So Diane." He spoke to her attention.
"Yes Steven?" She smiled.
"You're into Slide The Ferret just as much as Craig?"
