Steven and Phebe Chapter 10

Evan was talking to Fionna on the phone. "I think it might be a ferret." He said. "An evil ferret."
"I can't even pet it." He continued. "It looks like it's going to eat me." Evan dropped the phone in shock: Phoebe was in the kitchen! But she just wanted a soda. Phoebe closed the fridge door and went back upstairs, while Fionna was still waiting for Evan to pick up.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Now this is intriguing." Said Dexter, still spying on Phoebe.
"What?" Asked Double D, wrapped in bandages.
"2-1-3 was designed to destroy, but now there's nothing to destroy." Replied Dexter. "You see, I never gave her a better purpose. What must it be like to have nothing, not even memories, to visit in the middle of the night?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
Meanwhile, Phoebe was looking through Steven's bookshelf, but she only managed to find a couple of manga comics. However, there was one book she was interested in: A red book with a black duck. Phoebe woke up Steven to ask about the book.
"That's the Ugly Duckling." He said. "See? He's sad because he's all alone and nobody wants him. But on this page, his family hears him crying and they find him. Then the Ugly Duckling is happy because he knows where he belongs."
Phoebe took the book and brought it to her bed.
"Want to listen to Captain Fantastic?" Steven asked. "You look like an Elton fan."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next morning, Steven woke up Evan to show him something. He brought a Phoebe and a record player. Steven took out one of Phoebe's claws and put it on the record. He opened the cat's mouth and the song Philadelphia Freedom played. He closed her mouth and it stopped, but then opened it again and it played again. Suddenly, Evan heard a knock. He rushed out of bed and opened the front door: It was Tabes!
"Heard you lost your job." She said.
"Well..." Evan was at a loss of thought. "I just quit because the boss is just a jerk." Phoebe walked by and noticed the female sheriff. She threw a book at him.
"Hey!" Yelled Dana. Evan grabbed Phoebe.
"I am so sorry about that." He said.
"What is that thing?" Tabes asked.
"That's my kitty!" Responded Steven.
"Really?" Questioned Tabes as she cracked her neck. "Thus far, you have shortened my patience, but I can't ignore your poverty. Do I make myself clear?"
"Perfectly." Replied Evan.
"And the next time I see this cat, I expect it to be a model citizen. Capisce?"
"Yes?" Said Steven.
"New job, model citizen." Enunciated Tabes, and a lens on her shade broke off. "Good day." Said Tabes, and she left.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now Evan needed to get a new job and Steven needs to train Phoebe to be like Elton John. The first place they headed for was Fish Stew Pizza.
"Mrs. Nanefua?" Evan asked her. She was feeding anchovies in a fish tank shrimp flakes. "I'm here about your newspaper add."
"Elton John was a model citizen." Said Steven, as he put up a picture of him on the wall. "I've compiled a list of his traits for you to practice." He told Phoebe. "Number one is dancing."
"I can't talk now, dearie." Nanefua replied to Evan. "I'm waiting for someone to answer my ad."
"That's why I'm here." Said Evan.
"Hands on your hips." Said Steven. "Now follow me." Steven moved his hip to the left, and Phoebe followed. Phoebe got the hang of it, but accidentally spun into Nanefua, grabbed her, and crashed into the kitchen.
"Why is everything so dark?" Asked Nanefua. Her head was in a giant ball of pizza dough, with Phoebe popping out of the top.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next place Evan, Phoebe, and Steven went to was The Big Doughnut.
"I'm all about coffee." Evan said to Sadie.
"Let's move on to step two." Steven said to Phoebe. "Elton played piano." He hands Phoebe an electric keyboard. "Now you try. All you have to do is press the buttons in the right order." Phoebe started playing instrumentals to 'Don't Go Breaking My Heart', but she soon started playing so loud that it broke the windows of the restaurant. Tabes was watching from inside the shop.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They were now at a hotel owned by a man with a big nose, bright red skin, and pointy ears. He wears no pants or underwear, but thankfully, he never leaves the counter.
"Concierge-ing is my life." Evan said to him. "I just love to answer phones..."
"This is the face of romance." Steven said to Phoebe, walking up to an old man with a huge nose and slightly blue skin. "He looks like he could use some loving." Phoebe walked up to the couch, sat next to the old man, and held his hand.
"Now kiss him." Said Steven. Phoebe kissed the old man, but he got upset. Steven, Phoebe, and Evan rushed out the hotel, with Evan holding onto Steven. Phoebe was trying to catch up.
"I'm sure Elton had his bad days, too." Said Steven. They were heading to the beach now.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
"I'm all about saving people?" Evan asked a female Asian lifeguard, around the same age as Evan.
"Actually, I think we do have an opening." Said Juniper, the lifeguard.
"This is it." Said Steven. He had Phoebe dressed in funny looking clothes. "Time to bring it all together." Steven brought Phoebe over to the sunbathers so she could start performing.
"It's all you! Knock 'em dead!" Shouted Steven, as he plugged in the speakers. Phoebe started playing 'Don't Go Breaking My Heart' on the piano, and everyone loved her. Suddenly, they started to take pictures of her WITHOUT turning the flash off. This caused her to go on a rampage, scaring all the beach dwellers away. When Juniper saw her big chair topple over, she decided not to hire Evan.
Author's Notes:  Nanefua, Fish Stew Pizza, and Sadie are all from Steven Universe. Nanefua Pizza is the elderly owner of the restaurant Fish Stew Pizza, while Sadie Miller works at The Big Doughnut. Nanefua looks something like this.

The hotel owner is the Red Guy, the devious naked devil from Cow and Chicken, as well as the companion series I Am Weasel.
The old man in the hotel is Mung Daal, one of the main characters in Chowder. He is best described as a cross between Kermit and Gonzo.
Season 2 onwards
In the original Steven and Phoebe, Nazz, the blonde tomboy from Ed, Edd n Eddy, took the place of the lifeguard Nani talks to. In this updated story, Juniper Lee, from the more obscure Cartoon Network show The Life and Times of Juniper Lee, takes her place.

June (her given nickname) is the one in the middle.
I made this decision because I felt there should be a diverse amount of Cartoon Network cameo appearances. Also, Nazz actually kissed Double D in the episode 'The Day The Ed Stool Still', and that would be a bit weird if she appeared in the story while Double D's an alien.
