I notice the pink shirt and the haircut. The chubby body, everything. Sure enough, it is Steven. I approach him with caution. I let go of the form for a moment to breathe and sweat like the nervous wreck I am.

I then shapeshift again and I walk over towards Steven. I put on my best smile and I clear my throat. "Hey little man!"
"Ah!" Steven jumps, startled by my unexpected entrance. "Woah!" Steven's eyes shine with stars.

"Are you...a No Home boy?" I nod and Steven smiles. "Hi. I'm Steven." He puts out a hand and we shake on it. "Wanna play a game of...Spitoon?" I spit into the pan I'm holding up.

"I can do you one better." Steven spits into the pan. Score! However, one spit ball isn't going to cut it. I put the pan down. "You're on!" I spit into the pan and so does he. We play a few rounds. Steven laughs as I chuckle.

I tear up from behind the mask. Just like good times. "Alright! Final shot! Winner take all!" Wait, what? I didn't bet on anything! What's going on? "If I win, I'll take your spit pan." Steven! No! No way!

I try to keep calm. It's a good thing I've got a mask on. Otherwise, he'd clearly see that something was up. From behind the mask, I'm sweating and I'm struggling to keep calm. I can't hold the form much longer.

"And if you win, I'll give you my No Home Boys book. Ready?" I get ready to spit while Steven goes in for the taking first. He builds up all the spit he could gather and sends it flying right down into the pan.

He wipes his mouth with his hand. "Beat that!" Oh boy. Welp, this is it. It's go big or go home with a bubbled gem. Jasper's fate all depends on this final shot. I gather all the spit I could as I feel my form starting to give way. No! Not yet!

I keep going. "There's no rush. I'm still going to win anyway. I'm the best there is here in Beach City." Not today, Steven. I get ready to spit as I take all of the pain and stress that's building up inside of me.

Finally, I spit with such a force that the pan overflows with spit. I then collapse. "Woah! No way! I can never do that! Maybe Amethyst can, but I guess you won fair and square. I'll be right back with my book. Stay right there."
