DESCRIPTION: Peedee arrives at Steven's place to study. Connie's running a little late so, in the meantime, the boys do a little catching up.
CHARACTERS: Peedee, Steven,
KEY WORDS: Slice of life, work in progress
Peedee arrives at Steven's house. It's almost four. Rat-a-tat! One round of knocking and the door swings open. It's Steven! "You came!" he cheers. There is a relief in his voice as if he was anxious that Peedee wasn't going to show up at all. Unmatched to Steven's energy, Peedee calmly greets Steven back and he is welcomed inside.
The opportunity to visit anyone hardly ever came to Peedee, let alone the time to properly socialise with other kids his age. He made it very apparent that his passion for fries (and his education) outweighed most other aspects of his life but, also, he was curious to see how he'd go with growing closer to his casual friends. Steven was an easy candidate for this scenario. Additionally, any good friend of Steven's is someone Peedee would be interested to meet, and so he was keen on meeting that other girl-friend of Steven's, too.
It's been some time since Peedee was a guest here at Steven's. He scopes around out of curiosity... The house is tidier than expected. Less clutter, rubbish, and less junk food crumbs are scattered around compared to when he last visited. Maybe something happened... Peedee then finds the place unsettlingly and awkwardly quiet. And then he realises that none of the household's grown-ups are present at the scene, who Steven clarifies are on one of their gem missions far away. But there's also something, or someone, missing. Where was that girl Steven told him about before?
"Oh, Connie? She's running a little late," Steven casually explains. "She says it's a thing called rush hour."
That's right, she lives outside of town... Peedee thinks to himself.
