On the road

Steven and the strippers

"CONNIEE!!!" Steven shouted his girlfriends name as he frantically ran through the strip club he was in. "Why would Sadie and Shep be performing here??" He said to himself out loud as the pushed his way through the crowds of people surrounding the stages. Bright lights hurt his eyes as he squinted to find the exit. How did he end up here?!

*earlier that day*

"Cool, Sadie! We"ll see ya there!" Connie hung up the phone and turned to Steven, who was asleep on the bed. "Steeeveeen, get up! We gotta go to Sadie and Sheps performance" Connie shook her boyfriend awake, Steven groaned and stood up "huh?" He rubbed his eyes, half listening to Connie talking. "So get ready to go! I've been ready!" Connie was wearing a nice red dress with gold accessories "remember to dress nice!" She ruffled his hair as he stared at her " uhh yeah ok! I'll get ready right now! I'll meet you there, you go on ahead" Steven took off his pink jacket and rummaged through his suitcase, trying to find his nice shirt " Are you sure?" Connie picked up her phone and put it in her bag " Do you even know where to go?" Connie asked him. " uuuhh yep have fun!" He told her as he finally found his shirt " Hey Connie wait!" He stick his head out the door to see her, and gave her a smile " You look nice!! Bye!"
He closed the door before she could respond " Ah shit"

Steven frantically got dressed and fixed his hair, he slipped on his shoes and went out of the hotel. Steven still wasn't used to the noises of empire city yet, Steven and Connie decided to stay here for a couple of weeks to take a break from traveling. Steven  called a cab and stepped in, he sat down and saw a black star purse, similar to Connie's "where to?" The cab driver asked. "Uuhhh" Steven lied to Connie, he had no idea where to go "where the lady with brown hair went? She's my girlfriend" The cab driver raised and eyebrow then shrugged, he drove to a part of the city Stevens never seen before. When the cab came to a stop Steven stepped out and went inside the club. Sadie and Shep normally performed in small clubs, not big ones like this. There where blinding lights and...dancing girls. Steven instantly covered his eyes and stumbled to the bar. "Uhhh...hey" Steven poked the bartender to get his attention " When are the bands performing?" The bartender raised and eyebrow at the confused boy "We play music on the radio, we don't do bands here" The bartender told him. Stevens frustration grew "Well where is here!!" The bartender looked annoyed as the pointed at a sign above them, the sign read "Empire City strip club" As steven read that, he began to panic. "CONNNNIEEEE!!!"

*Present time*

Steven crashed into a girl with brown hair. "Connie?" Steven asked hopefully as she turned around. It wasn't Connie, just a pissed off girl " Watch where you're going,floof head!" Her eyes fell to Stevens hands, which was holding the star purse from the car "Hey, that's my purse! Give it back!" She snatched it out of Stevens hands and stomped away, in her empty space Steven noticed the exit. He stormed out and texted Connie, who sent him a bunch of messages already. He called her and explained, she gave him the correct address. Steven barely missed the show, but he got to see Sadie and Shep.
Steven and Connie left empire city the next day.
