Steven and Phoebe Chapter 5

Steven was waiting outside the school building, watching the other kids run out happily. Ms. Baker told him that she called Evan, Steven's older brother, and Steven should just wait on the steps. Steven ignored Ms. Baker's orders and ran off to join Lars and his gang.
When Steven caught up with Lars, Kevin, Belson, and Mitchell, he saw them playing with Guys action figures. Steven asked "Are those Guys?"
"You don't have a Guy." Replied Lars. Steven then pulled out an ugly-looking doll.
"This is Voodoo Guy." Said Steven, and the other kids got grossed out. "I made him. His head's too big, so I pretended a bug laid eggs in his ear, but he is sad because he only has a few days left to..."
The other kids left before Steven finished, so he went home sadly.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
Evan Universe, Steven's older brother with brown hair, scarlet pants, and a red shirt with a blue crescent on it, was running to Steven's school, just to see him gone. Evan rushed home to find Steven, but on his way, he bumped into a car.
"Watch where you're going, stupid head!" Shouted Evan, kicking the car and leaving a dent. Little did he know that the driver was actually their visitor for today: a social worker.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Evan finally got home, the front door was nailed shut while Steven was lying on the floor listening to Rocket Man from Elton John.
"Steven, open the door!" Pleaded Evan. "The social worker's gonna be here any minute!"
"Leave me alone to die." Responded Steven, as he turned up the volume on the record player.
Evan stuck himself through the doggy door and tried to unlock the lock, but it was too far away. He then noticed a hammer and tried to pull the nails out, but he could only pull out one nail.Evan got really mad now.
"When I get in there, I'll stuff you in the blender, push purée, bake you into a pie, and feed it to the social worker! Then he'll say 'Mmm, what ingredients did you use?' And I'd say..." Evan was pulled out of the dog door by the social worker. It was a woman with orange hair, a green uniform, a sheriff's hat, and black boots. She also had freckles on her face.
"Love. And good nurturing." Said Evan awkwardly. "So who are you?"
"The stupid head."
"Oh, sorry about the car."
"It's a rental. I go by the name of Tabes."
"Ms. Tabes. That's a strange name."
"I know. Are you by question the owner of this house?" Asked Tabes.
"Yes." Evan said.
"Then will you please invite me into your house?" Asked Tabes.
"Why don't we stand here and talk?" Asked Evan.
"I don't think so." Replied Tabes
"Okay." Said Evan. "Just wait a minute." Evan tried getting in by using the back door, but it was also locked. Evan then tried the window, and it worked! He went inside, turned off the record player, and unlocked the back door.
"You may come inside now." Evan said, and they both went inside.
"Do you usually leave your brother alone?" Asked Tabes.
"No." Replied Evan, but then there was a crude drawing on the refrigerator of Steven alone. Evan covered it, but then something in a pot on the oven was boiling and bubbling!
"I found that this morning." Said Steven.
"Steven, this is Ms. Tabes." Said Evan, introducing the woman.
"Your knuckles say Dana." Said Steven. "Dana Tabes. You don't look like a social worker."
"I'm a special kind."
"Did you ever kill anyone?" Steven asked.
"We're getting off track. Steven, are you happy?" Tabes asked, while Evan was giving gestures on what to say.
"I'm adjusted, I eat 3 meals a day, take long naps, and get disciplined?" Evan had his hand in a fist by mistake.
"Disciplined?" Asked Tabes.
"Yeah, real good. Sometimes up to 5 times a day! With bricks!"
"With bricks?"
"In a pillowcase." Evan blocked Steven's mouth.
"Okay, that's enough sugar for you! Go along, sweetie!" Tabes was not pleased.
"I am the one they call when things go wrong, and things have definitely gone wrong." She walked by Steven and saw a book on voodoo and spoons with faces drawn on them. Steven put the spoons in a pickle jar and shook the jar.
"My friends need to be punished." He replied. Tabes handed Steven her phone number.
"Call me next time you're alone. And in case you're wondering, Evan, this did not go well." Tabes said, opening the door with nails flying out.
"You have 3 days to change my mind." She said, and she closed the door and left.
Author's Notes: The Guys Action Figures are from the Steven Universe episode 'Onion Trade'.
It was implied in Regular Show that Muscle Man's real name is Mitchell.
