A Fractured Reflection

Chapter 7 From Good To Bad

Normal Pov.

A week has past and Beach City looked somewhat fixed, some buildings were still being worked on but the beach was cleared at least. The process was slow but with so many  people volunteering to help, what should have taken all month to do was accomplished in only a week.

We currently see a topless Steven helping with repairs on the roof of the Big Donut.

Steven:"Alright that should do it"

Steven stood up and admiring his work, he spent the last three days helping this team of repairmen fix the shop along with adding the new giant donut sign, which was like before but with a pink frosting color. The "Big Donut" looked good as new. A lot bigger with a nice purple color to go with some of the new things. The new counter that is now red instead of a cream color to go with the new rainbow colored windows. The marble floor now has a dark blue rug with a few donuts designed randomly on it. We painted the walls a forest green with some yellow stars as well. It even has a lounge area inside with a small couch, table, bean bag chairs, jute box, and a TV. All an all it looked to be a good place for teens to hang out at.

Steven:"This place looks a lot better than what it was before"

Repairman 1:"You said it, it might be my sons new spot to hang at with his friends"

Repairman 2:"Mine too"

Repairman 3:"Lets hope this place keeps our kids occupied for most of their free time"

Steven:"I might start coming here a lot more often then I have before"

With that the repairmen begin packing up their equipment while Steven heads into town. As Stevens going through town he sees all the changes that were made to shops that were damaged. Some shops had a few changes while others got completely renovated into something new. Steven had just entered the residential area when saw Lapis.

Steven:"Hey Lapis!"

Lapis turns to him.

Lapis:"Hey Steven!"

Steven walks up to Lapis and notices she's helping a kid get their kite out of a tree.

Steven:"Helping kids I see"

Lapis:"Yup, little Timmy here got his kite caught in a tree"

Lapis: proceeds to fly up the tree and bring down Timmy's kite and hands it to him.

Timmy:"Thank you blue lady!"

Then Timmy runs off with his now freed kite. After that Steven and Lapis get into a conversation on what they have been doing over the week. Some time later Buck walks up to them and speaks.

Buck:"Hey guys"

Steven:"Hey Buck how have you been?"

Buck:"I've been good. Hey I was wondering if you and your lady friend were interested in hanging out with me, Sour Cream, and Jenny later?"

Steven:"Sure I'm down for a night of fun. How about you Lapis, You in?"

Lapis takes a minute before responding.

Lapis:"Sure why not. I don't have anything planned for the rest of the evening"

Buck:"Alright, well meet at the Big Donut at around Six o'clock alright"

Steven:"Well meet you there"

Buck:"Cool, well see you two later"

Buck then runs off. Still having some time before they meet up with the others Steven and Lapis decide to walk around the city for a bit. Lapis begins telling Steven about her life before the war and Steven tells her about his life before the change. Before either of them knew it was time to meet with the others and so made there way to the new and improved Big Donut. Once there they see the three waiting for them.
