It was a cold night at the temple, and the crystal gems where enjoying a peaceful night.
"I can´t believe we finally got the last part of Lonely Blade! I just can´t wait to know if he`ll marry his loved one!" A young boy with a pink shirt proclaimed excitedly, it has been five months since the last movie of one of his favorite sagas was released.
But, since it was only aired in Japan, it took some time before Steven Universe could get his hands on one copy, a gift from Garnet, from when she went to the search of Malachite near the island of Japan.
The three gems smiled at the little boy, it has been a while since they spent time together as a family and not as saviors of the earth.
"Thanks for the movie Garnet!" The Red gem turned and nodded with a small smile on her face, but did not say any words, because she actually wanted to see the movie.
After the Movie ended, the 3 gems stood still, and waited for the reaction of the little boy, sitting on top of Garnet`s hair, but when they expected a happy and satisfied Steven, they encountered with the opposite of that.
"Well? What do you think?" The Pearl asked, worried of what the little boy was about to say.
"What do I think?" The gems looked at each other to embrace what was coming to them. "I THINK IT WAS AWEFUL!" Steven throwed his hands to the air and let himself fall back to the bed behind him.
"Aww, come on, it wasn´t THAT bad." Amethyst tried to comfort the boy, but in response, Steven said "Not that bad? After defeating the king of samurais and the evil Black Samurai that kept Blade`s brother in that painting, Blade`s girlfriend leaves him for the brother? He doesn´t even say thanks to Blade!"
After releasing all of his anger and disappointment, Steven saw the looks on the faces of her three guardians. "I`m sorry guys, I think I over reacted a little bit."
"It`s okay Steven… Honestly I didn´t liked it either." Amethyst tried to comfort Steven once more, this time with a little chuckle from the boy`s part.
Steven checked the clock and noticed it was 1 AM, and said to the gems. "Huh.. I guess watching a movie that lasts 5 hours makes you lose track of the time" He said while scratching the back of his head.
"Steven`s right, we should all get some rest." The three gems tucked Steven to bed, gave him a hug, and left the room.
Steven, almost immediately, fell asleep; the sound of the rain outside his window was like music to his ears, he always loved rainy nights, it just made him happy with no reason.
After falling in a deep sleep, Steven started dreaming, he dreamt of his dad, and Connie, and the gems, but as hours went on, the dream started to fall apart.
After falling in a black hole, Steven came out of a hole from the wall, it had his same shape, and on top of it said "Quartz" This confused Steven, and made him look around, kinder garden.
As he walked, not taking his eyes off the millions of holes on the walls, he tripped and fell.
He grunted in pain and observed the object that stood in his way; A yellow hand and a red foot, stuck together, started climbing Steven`s lap, but as soon as the horrifying creature started walking in Steven`s chest, the boy slapped it, making it fall into the ground.
Steven got up and started running away from the creature; he turned corners, ran through hallways, and tried to climb walls, but he couldn´t find an exit.
Suddenly, Steven found himself on a dead end; he turned around and saw a beam of light, in the center, there was 4 different kinds of gems, forming one giant creature.
Steven tried to scream for one of the gems, but couldn`t even open his mouth, he was frozen, and could not do anything but stare at the 4 eyes of the creature that got itself closer, and closer.
When the creature reached the boy, it grabbed him and closed him to its eyes.
The four arms of the creature held Steven in the air, and didn`t let him breathe; he struggled and struggled, but the hands would not budge, then, a far cry could be heard from a long distance.
"Help us Steven" Steven looked for the woman that was asking for his help, but could not find anyone but the "fusion" that was still holding him in the air.
"Help us Steven!" He heard the plead for help once more, he desperately looked for the woman, but yet again, wouldn`t find her.
"HELP US STEVEN" The Cry was now so loud, that it hurt Steven`s ears, but this time it was different, it sounded like 4 voices at once, and when Steven realized who was asking for his help, he started crying.
It was the monster; it was the one that was pleading for his help, and the one that was suffering.
"What do I d-do?" Steven shouted crying, he wanted to help, but didn´t know what to do.
"HELP US STEVEN" The shout made the floor tremble, and made one of the injectors on the walls, fall into the ground and shatter into pieces.
The young gem, still with tear trails in his eyes asked again "WHAT CAN I DO?"
The monster was quiet and then started calling for his name. "Steven…..Steven….STEVEN"
The boy woke up, with a scream so loud that could be heard in the entire temple.
Garnet was standing right next to Steven`s bed, with worry on her face, the little boy on the bed was struggling and grunting so much, Garnet could hear him.
Steven looked at the tall gem standing right next to him and embraced her in the tightest hug of his life.
The small gem continued crying and whispering, and tried to explain his dream to Garnet, but he was so scared that he couldn´t form a single sentence.
"Don´t worry… I`m here….. Tell me everything."
Steven looked at the eyes of the gem; she took her shades off to see clearly the face of her favorite boy and hugged him again.
