Hello my wonderful readers/fellow

writers! I'm back with a brand new story! This is

a Steven and Connie fic, one that I hope everyone will enjoy!

Pearl ready her camera as Amethyst and Steven posed for Steven's 'first dance' picture. Pearl had a few tears come to her eyes, "Oh, my little Steven is growing up!" She hugged the younger boy, he smiled, "It's just one dance, Pearl." She sniffled, "I know, but it feels like yesterday, you were a small toddler begging to go on missions, now-" She couldn't finish her sentence before she was choked up, tears streaming down her face. "Chill it, mama bird. It's not like he's moving out!" Amethyst ruffled his hair and said, "Good luck, bud! Make sure you give her a kiss before you come back though!" She winked at him and made him blush a deep red, "U-uh, C-Connie and I aren't together yet so..." The shorter gem laughed aloud, "I know, I just love picking on ya!" Garnet came out of the temple and looked at Pearl then Amethyst, she smiled and looked at Steven, "Steven, would you like me to take you?"

"Yeah!" He straightened his tuxedo tie, and ran a comb through his untamed hair (even though it didn't do anything). Garnet chuckled under breath at the younger boy, she looked at Pearl and smiled, "Pearl, would you like to come as well? You and Steven do have a strong mother-son bond." Pearl dried her eyes, and nodded, Amethyst whined, "Whadda 'bout me?!" Garnet, still smiling, gently shook her head, "Of course. I figured you were coming anyway." Amethyst shrugged and grabbed Steven's hand, "Let's go!" And off they went. As they walked, Garnet put her arm around Pearl's as the shorter gems ran in front of them, she smiled and looked down at Pearl, "You know, I've always wanted a family." Pearl looked up confused, "You...have?" Garnet nodded, "Yes, and now, I realize, I'm one of the luckiest people in the world. I have a great girlfriend, a son, and a daughter. My life couldn't be more perfect." Pearl blushed a light blue and smiled, "Well, our son is growing up." A few more tears leaked from Pearl's eyes, she smiled. "I know." Was all Garnet could say. The rest of the trip was silent between the two older gems.

After a few minutes, the gems arrived to the gymnasium, from the outside, loud music and some strobe lights were seen. Steven took and deep breath and clutched the roses he had for Connie against his chest. He let out a sigh and turned towards the gems, "I'll see you guys later! Wish me luck!" And he was off, the gems decided to go out for dinner (it was Amethyst's idea.) Once Steven entered the front door, he saw Connie in shiny, light blue dress. 'She looks really pretty!' He walked over to her, "H-hey Connie!" She turned to him and smiled, "Steven! You made it!" She hugged him, this was a big thing for her. Steven was magical, and could be something more amazing than a stupid dance, yet he came. This made her fell special, when they pulled away from each other, Steven gave Connie the roses. She blushed and said, "Aw! Thanks, Steven!"

During the night, Steven and Connie had danced, laughed, and talked about gems, missions, and regular human things that Connie got to do. Even though that sounded boring, Steven thought Connie was wonderful, and cool. At the end of the dance, before the teaching staff was going to send them home, they had one last slow dance. As soon as the music started playing, Steven bowed with his arm outstretched, and asked, "Connie, will you have this dance with me?" She giggled, "Of course." She curtsied and took his hand. On the dance floor, Steven slow-danced the best he could, while Connie just followed his lead. They we both only thirteen (Connie was almost fourteen) and didn't have very much experience dancing with a partner. Luckily, Pearl made Steven practice before the dance so Steven knew a little. At the end of the end of the song, Steven dipped Connie down, this was awarded by clapping. Both kids looked and saw they were the only ones that had been on the floor. Steven smiled and looked at Connie, "Hey, at least we're good dancers!" She laughed, mostly out of embarrassment.

As they walked to Connie's house, they talked about the events that had happened earlier, when they were at Connie's, Connie gave Steven a peck on the cheek and told him goodnight. Steven said farewell, and rushed to the temple. He busted through the door with pure excitement, "Guys!" He saw the gems, "Guys! Connie gave me a kiss on the cheek!"

"Alright, Steven!" Yelled Amethyst as she hopped up and ran over to the boy, Pearl walked over to them, "Oh! My little Steven's has a girlfriend!" This made Steven blush a deep pink, but he grinned anyway. Garnet ruffled his hair, "I knew it happen." She smiled and told him they would talk more in the morning. The gems gave Steven hugs good night and sent him to bed. That night, Steven could barely sleep, for his brain was still rushing about the kiss, but what he didn't know, was Connie was also thinking about this. How wonderful Steven was, and perhaps, giving him another kiss.

'Maybe I should take Connie out tomorrow...' Steven smiled, 'Yeah! I'll take her to get pizza then we'll have fun on the boardwalk!' He closed his eyes sleepily as he thought about tomorrow...
