Beach City Airport

"Gate 13B or 13A?" I said to myself. It has been 8 years since I have seen my girlfriend, Connie Maheswaran. "Hi Connie," I said excitedly. "Hi Steven," she said excitedly to see me. "God she looks so beautiful," I thought to myself. "Can you stay over the night, please?" I asked. "Sure I'm an adult now my parents don't care," she said happily and relief. Connie parents were strict when we were kids, like I'll see her twice a week or if it's a mission. So I'm pretty lucky that she's older now, and she can make her OWN DECISIONS. "Well I'll see you at 7 p.m.," she said seriously funny. "I have a surprise for you this weekend," I said.

Meanwhile At The Temple

"PEARL, AMETHYST, PERIDOT, AND GARNET, well Garnet you probably know already, but Connie is back!" I shouted. "YAY," the group said. "She staying the weekend today so please don't screw this up for me," I said. "Are you going to *cough cough*?" Garnet said happy."Are you going to wha- ," pearl said confuse. " Please don't marry her," Pearl said sadly. "What happens if he asked her for marriage?" Peridot asked. "They'll have children and Steven will have to die," Pearl said crying. "He want die he'll live," Garnet said. After I hugged pearl I went to get the ring from the store.

6:59 p.m.

*KNOCK KNOCK* "Hi Steven," Connie said. "Hi Connie," I said. "Are you ready for an intense night," I said. " Yeah," she said. "Connie I really like you- ," I said but gotten cut off with a kiss. "I really like you to," she said. "Good, Connie will you m-," *BOOM* my words were cut off from the boom. It was Malachite, we run out of the temple. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA," Malachite Laughed. "Stop! I DON'T WANT TO BE WITH YOU ANYMORE!" Lapis Cried. "COME HERE YOU BRAT!" Jasper Shouted. "Lapis, We'll Save You!" I shouted. "Alright let's-," Garnet was cut off becuase of the shaking in the ground. "OH MY STARS, STEVEN IT'S THE CLUSTER!" Peridot Shouted. "The Cluster?" Connie Asked. "What is it?" "There's no time to explain we HAVE TO MOVE!" I shouted. "Yes Sir" Everyone exclaimed. The Crystal Gems took Malachite while Connie, Peridot, and I took the Cluster. The Cluster was speaking to me, it was screaming my mom's name saying Help us oh ROSE! SAVE US! I passed out and Connie and Peridot FREAKED OUT! As I talked to the cluster, I notie that these gems are lost and they need our help.
