Steven and Phoebe Chapter 8

When Steven, Phoebe, and Evan were walking down the plaza of Beach City, Phoebe noticed a monster movie playing on a TV in a store. She was intrigued by the B-movie, but Evan pulled her away.
Lars and his friends came by on bicycles, and Lars was riding on a motorcycle.
"My friends!" Steven said, running toward them.
"What do you want, Steven?" Lars asked.
"I'm sorry for hurting you yesterday."
"Apology not accepted." Said Lars. "Now get out of my way before I run you over." Lars freaked out upon seeing Phoebe.
"I got a new cat!" Said Steven. "Her name is Phoebe."
"That thing is disgusting-looking!" Replied Lars. His friends went "Dork! Loser. My mom!"
Phoebe examined the wheels on Lars's motorcycle. "Get that creep away from me! I could get a disease!"
Phoebe then noticed Dexter and Eddward in disguise. She threw Lars off the motorcycle, grabbed Steven, and made a run for it.
"Oh great, she's loose." Said Double D.
"Her destructive programming has taken effect." Dexter said. "She'll be irresistibly prone to backing up sewers, reversing street signs, and steal everyone's left shoe."
Phoebe tried to get off the island, but there was water at every corner.
"It's nice to live on an island with just one city." Steven replied, but Phoebe fainted.

Later that night, the three of them went to a luau at the park. Fionna, a friend of Evan's, was performing a fire act on the stage, but she got the stage on fire. At a table, Steven colored in a drawing of Phoebe.
"This is you." He said. "This is your badness level. It's unusually high for someone your size. We have to fix that." Evan walked by carrying dishes.
"Steven, you know Benson doesn't like pets at the table." Said Evan.
"Phoebe is troubled." Steven said. "She needs desserts."
"But Steven, you didn't finish your tater tots." Said Evan.
"Desserts!" Evan didn't want to fight, so he went to the kitchen to get a cake.
Fionna walked by with burn marks on her body. "Hey, Fionna!" Said Steven. "I got a new cat!"
"What the flip? Are you sure that's a cat?" Asked Fionna.
"Yep. She used to be a tabby before she got ran over." Evan dropped off two slices of cake. "Yum!" Shouted Steven, before Phoebe gobbled both of them up.
"Hey, that was mine, too!" Said Steven. Phoebe decided to spit them back out and give them to Steven, but he declined in disgust.
When Evan walked by Fionna, she said "Howzit, Evan?" He noticed Fionna's burn marks.
"Did you catch on fire again?" Evan asked.
"No. Just the stage." She answered. "Are you available tonight?"
"Sorry, Fionna, but I have a lot to deal with right now."
"That's cool."
"You smell like a fireplace." They were interrupted by kids screaming.
"Sorry, Fionna, but I have to go now." Said Evan. The kid at Table 3 is throwing vegetables again."
"Don't worry." Said Steven, trying to cheer up Fionna. "He likes your butt and long hair. I know because I read his diary."
Phoebe was bored again, but she smelt something: it was a roasted chicken from outer space! It was actually a trap by Dexter, as he grabbed Phoebe and Eddward tried to hand cuff her. Instead, she managed to bite Double D's head. Thankfully, Evan managed to find her and poured punch on the alien cat's head. She simply bit Double D's head again, so Evan pulled her off the one-eyed alien's head.
"Is that a cat?" It was Benson, the short-tempered groundskeeper of the local park. "How many times have I told you, Evan? No pets at the table! Get that beast off my property or else YOU'RE FIRED!!!"
"Well, who wants to work at this stupid fakey luau, anyway?" Replied Evan. "C'mon, Steven. Let's leave this junk pile they dare to call the park." The three decided to go home for the night.
Author's Notes: The space chicken is a nod to the Courage the Cowardly Dog pilot 'The Chicken From Outer Space'.

The B-movie playing on the TV in the store is a nod to the 8 Hour Monster Movie Marathon from the Ed, Edd n Eddy episode 'Knock Knock Who's Ed?'.

The tater tots are a reference to the disturbing 'Gym Partner' episode 'Chew On This', in which Adam Lyon is tired of having to eat bugs and twigs (which they serve as lunch at Charles Darwin Middle School) for lunch, so Principal Pixie Frog allows human food at the school, which is unhealthy for the animal students. This I can criticize because there are animals that can eat human food without getting sick, like ants, raccoons, and, even though it's not recommended, seagulls. Also, if Adam was really that hesitant, why couldn't he just resort to eating fish? There are MANY animals that eat fish, including other fish, and humans definitely eat fish.
