It's morning and Steven has woke up, and headed outside to think and stared out in the ocean. His impression and his own personal life from his mother, Rose Quartz. Like how every gem would resemble him as being Rose but he has to think which would confuse him from everyone else. Anyways, all that would have led him to this about how Malachite has been under the ocean for a very long time now, but has him wondering why he can't shapeshift or fuse with a gem for more perilous situation. He goes back inside to talk to the gems. Soon enough he saw Garnet in the room and ask her the question that is looping around his mind.
"Garnet, I have a question." He asked. "Yes, Steven." Garnet said. "You, Pearl and Amethyst know how to shapeshift and performing fusions." He told Garnet. "Would you think that you can teach me how to shapeshift or help me with fusions in situations that is needed". Steven asked hesitantly, but Garnet had to think about this if it would help the young gem hybrid, then little does he she thinks that this could work.
"Sure" Garnet said. Steven was surprised with her response and both have gone outside.
Garnet is teaching him about basic shapeshifting and shows him about objects to turn into as an exercise. "Steven, in order to shapeshift you need to channel all your energy from your gem and basically think about the thing you're turning into and let it out." Garnet said and demonstrated by morphing into a cat, and returns to her normal form. "Now you try" Garnet said. " He had tried to channel all of his energy from his gem and focus to shapeshift but with no success, and tried multiple times for it to work, then the tall, red gem responded. "Maybe we should wait a little while 'till you get it", but he disagrees so he tries it one more try and it actually worked so the red gem was impressed so the gem hybrid has morphed back into himself, and was aroused.
"Thanks, Garnet for teaching me how to shapeshift, I really appreciate it." Steven told Garnet. "Your welcome, I knew you can do it." Garnet said, and hugged Steven.
Later, the sun was at the risen position and the time was at 12:00. Pearl came into the den to clean Steven's Room but the pale skin had seen a pink cat and said "Aww, what a cute feline", and the cat said "Thank you", but suddenly Pearl froze and recognize that it sounded like "STEVEN!", then the Gem Hybrid morph backed into his regular form and says "TaDa" and pearl was really surprised and stunned and said "Steven, you can shapeshift, I've thought only full-blooded gems are the only one that could shapeshift." Pearl exclaimed. "This is amazing, I guess Amethyst has really taught much she knows-"She was interrupted from Steven statement "No, Garnet taught me", Pearl was stunned and said with contempt "GARNET!".
