THE END OF STEVEN
Introduction
"Are we there yet Steven? You've told me so much about Smoky Quartz, I'm really excited to meet her!" Connie was getting anxious about seeing Steven and Amethyst fuse, although there was a slight tinge of jealousy that luckily went unnoticed. "The temple is only a couple more minutes of walking." Steven replied. Steven grabbed Connie by the hand excitedly and hastened their pace.
The two approach the sandblasted patio and catch their breath. A strange series of noises permeate the screen door, "GLICK, HNNG, GLUG, GUH!" "What's that noise Steven? Sounds weird." "That's probably just Amethyst eating, she's been stuffing herself a lot lately." Steven knowingly chides as he pushes the door open. His eyes were looking back at Connie as the door swung open so he didn't quite notice the scene that created the prior disruption to their break. An audible gasp escapes Steven as his eyes identify the massive object that was sliding in and out of Amethyst's mouth.
"That burrito is ginormous!" exclaimed Steven.
"Ohgh, Heygh Ste'en." Amethyst croaked out before removing the large, footlong burrito. "I'm trying to fit this whole thing in my mouth without shapeshifting, but not having any luck. Anyways, you ready? I'm kinda feeling lazy today so we don't have to bust out all our tricks, just the easy ones."
"That's okay, I'm sure Connie won't mind if we tone it back, right?"
"S-sure Steven, go ahead whenever you're ready" Connie stammered.
With a blinding high five, Smoky Quartz appeared. Connie's jaw had dropped. Smoky began doing her Yo-Yo tricks outside while Connie watched. The fact that Smoky was a fusion became apparent when she started bickering with herself. Apparently, Amethyst had a change of heart and wanted to try a new trick they hadn't quite mastered yet, but Steven refused, not wanting to overwhelm Connie. They finally split apart, Steven looking sheepish while Amethyst glowered.
"Sorry we didn't stay fused that long Connie, we're still getting the hang of it with each other." Said Steven.
Steven's expression turns worried when he notices that Amethyst is still sulking. It fades quickly when he realizes what he can do to fix the situation. "Hey Amethyst, you haven't gotten to be around Stevonnie that much haven't you? If Connie's up to it, we could just hang out, maybe like we did on that off day we took." Both Connie and Amethyst's faces lit up, clearly pleased with the new course of action. Steven and Connie clasped their hands together, and began their transformative dance.
