This is the first chapter of my Steven Universe fanfiction: What is Smokestone? Smokestone will be the first of many OCs to be revealed. Chapters are currently rather short, but they work. Takes place after Reformed.
"Hey, Pearl! Hey, Garnet! Hey, Amethyst!" Steven called as he ran down the steps from his loft and towards the door. "I'm going down to the beach!"
"Now, Steven." Pearl said from the kitchen where she was cleaning, successfully getting the boy's attention. "You be careful down there; I don't want you getting hurt."
Steven chuckled. "Oh, Pearl! You always tell me that!"
"I know... I just-" She paused. "I worry about you."
"Uh-huh, I know you do, Pearl. Don't worry; I'll be careful!" With that, he ran out the door, an excited smile spread from ear to ear.
"Where do you suppose he's headed off to?" Pearl asked Garnet as the stoic fusion stepped up beside her.
There was a moment before the maroon gem answered. "The Big Donut."
"Probably." She added as an afterthought.
Pearl chuckled, shaking her head. Where else would he go?
That's it for Chapter 1. Hope you enjoyed. Story is also on AO3 under the same title and author.
