"Hey Connie! Watch this!" A excited Steven said to a smiling Connie.

"Alright Jam Bud! I'm looking!" She said giggling a bit at the words, "Jam Bud". Steven began to look very focused before a pink light began to cover him from his gem. Suddenly standing in his place was a dark pink lion with a black puffy mane. It had a yellow star right on its chest and a pink gem on its belly. The lion turned to Connie to see her go starry eyed.

"No way! You know how to shape shift!? That's incredible Steven!" Connie smiled running up to him and petting his mane.

"Its so soft and puffy!"

"I know right!"

"Do you want to get on my back? I'm as tall as Lion so you wouldn't be a problem carrying."

"Well if you say so then, ok!" Connie said as she hopped on the Steven-lion and held on tightly to His mane. The Steven-lion blushed at Connie's hands before roaring a happy roar.

"I'm a Steven-lion!" He yelled as he began to race across the beach laughing along with Connie.

"A Steven-lion? Maybe we should call you something else like Puffy or something!" Connie suggested as Steven-lion nodded in agreement.

"Puffy is too weird."

"Well then how about Roar?"

"I like it but it should sound like "Rawr" and spelled that way too!"

"Grammer wise, incorrect but still all the same cool!" Connie said as Rawr began to slow down.

The boy was starting to get tired. He had just started to master shape shifting so his human body wasn't too used to the change making him tire quickly.

"Ok. Enough Rawr. I want to be Steven again." Rawr meowed as Connie hopped of him to let him shift back.

"Its still super cool now you can shape shift Steven!" Connie grinned hugging him softly making them both blush.

"Not only that but I can fuse with the Crystal Gems!

"Wow really!?"

"Yeah! It's a bit tiring like shape shifting but still really cool! My favorite fusion is with Amethyst! We're called Kunzite!" Steven smiled wide as he remembered the fusion.

"I guess Stevonnie has some competition!" Connie said as the kids began to laugh

"Don't worry, I still like to be Stevonnie! Speaking of Stevonnie, Pearl wants to check us out " more thoroughly." She wants to see how and why we can fuse." Steven said as he took out his phone and went to his music. He selected the song he danced with Connie from when they first fused.

"May I have this dance?" Steven asked covering his face and holding out his hand.

"Steven, you don't have to cover your face. I'm comfortable dancing without you covering your face." Connie said slightly looking away blushing. Steven also blushed before grabbing her hand and dipping her. His gem began to glow brightly pink and the light engulfed them both merging them both.

"Wooohoo!" Stevonnie yelled in happiness.

"I'm back! Ok now let's see what Pearl wanted." She said as she began to run to Steven's house.

In the house...

"I can't even began to firgue out how he does it. Fusing with a human." Pearl said pacing back and forward in a line.

"I think its amesome! Not as cool like Kunzite but still pretty cool!" Amethyst grinned shoving a sandwich in her mouth. Suddenly the door opened up and in walked Stevonnie.

"Hey guys. Pearl wished to see me?" Stevonnie asked as the gem began to walk to the fusion. Clearing her throat, she looked at the fusion then her (I assume cuz of the looks and voice.) gem.

"Yes. I wanted to study you. Your the first half human half gem fusion and I would like to understand how. Is that alright with you?" Pearl asked a bit nervous.

"Sure! If Steven and Connie don't mind then I don't either!" She said grinning widely.

"Ok good. So for starters can you summon "your" shield?"

"Um I'm not sure but I can try!" Stevonnie smiled before focusing on her gem. Suddenly a bright light came from the gem and out came the shield.

"Woah! I didn't know I could do that! Wait can I merge weapons? Hold on!" Stevonnie said still holding the shield and running out the house. A moment later she came back in with Rose's sword. Pearl stared a bit at the sword given to Connie.

"Ok here I go!" Stevonnie said as she combined the two things. The shield and the sword fused into a bigger shield with sharp edges all around it. A rose was also placed all around the shield. A handle was now inside of the shield for gripping.

"Oh my!" Said Pearl

"No way!" Shouted Amethyst

"Pretty amazing." Smiled Garnet

"Oh my gosh! Its so amesome looking!" Stevonnie yelled grinning her face off.

"Yes. Its quite remarkable you were even able to do that since your more human then gem." Pearl said as Amethyst rolled her eyes.

"So what?! Its cool!" The purple gem said.

"Stevonnie. How do you feel?" Garnet asked as everyone turned to her.

"I feel like two very happy children are having a party all over me." Stevonnie said before she started to feel tired.

"Now those children are starting to get tired. *Yawn* I'm so tired for some reason..."*Yawn* Stevonnie said before falling to the floor, snoring. Soon the fusion turned white and split into a sleeping Connie and a tired Steven.

"Oops! Sorry about that. Me and Connie both were getting tired so we unfused, sorta." Steven explained tiredly as he noticed Connie was asleep, snoring gently.

"I'll take her home. You two have done enough fusing for today." Garnet said as Steven shook his head.

"I'll take her home, I can take Lion." Steven said yawning as he picked up the sleeping Connie in his arms and walked out the door. The sun was starting to set.

"Lion!" Steven yelled as the pink lion teleported over to him.

"Can you take us to Connie's house?" He asked rubbing his eyes as Lion nodded. Steven then climbed on Lion with Connie in his arms. The sight of the sleeping girl made his face turn red. He really liked her.

"Let's go." He said as the pink beast jumped from the steps and began to run on the sand. Connie's eyes flew open at the feel of wind blowing on her face. She looked up to find Steven's tired face as he tried to keep his eyes open. She soon realized the way Steven was holding her and began to blush.

"Steven?" She said as he looked down at her with a red blush hard on his face.

"Yeah?"

"Where are we going?"

"To your house."

"Why?"

"You had got so tired that you fell asleep. Stevonnie took a lot of our energy."

"Oh yeah, I remember now."

"Oh! We're here." Steven said as he and Connie got off of Lion and went Connie's door. They knocked a flew times before Connie's mother came out.

"Thanks for taking me back home Steven."

"Yes thank you." Connie's mother said as Steven nodded.

"Anytime. Bye Connie." Steven said getting back onto Lion and waving.

"Bye." Connie said as she closed the door. Immediately after that, Steven collapsed on Lion.

"Take me...home." Steven barley said as Lion opened a portal to the house and jumped in it. Soon they were inside the house and Garnet was putting Steven to bed while Pearl was trying to get Lion outside.

"Goodnight Steven." Garnet said before kissing him on the forehead. That got him to smile a bit.
