Hello, This is my first story and constructive criticism is greatly appreciated!
In this story, a strange snowfall covers Beach City in the middle of February with no explanation, and doesn't seem to want to go away soon.
-=STEVENS POV=-
Steven wakes up with a yawn and gets up to stretch his arms as he peeks out the window, not to see sunny skies, but instead a thick layer of cold soft snow gleaming against the morning light. Eager to play outside, Steven heads down the stairs spotting Peridot sleeping on the couch, covered with a soft brown blanket. Steven eagerly rushes to get dressed and eat breakfast, though Amethyst is usually up at this time, eating another random object. But the gems were not present and left only a note on fridge, as Steven slowly walks over to the note to see what is says, he stops due to the sound of movement from the little green gem, then as the gem settled Steven felt relieved that he didn't wake here up. Turning back around to the note clearly, in neat handwriting, presumably Pearl, read this, "Sorry Steven we are on an important mission on a tropical island around Hawaii, we will be back at around 2:00 PM" Steven had always wanted to visit such a place as Hawaii with its beautiful beaches and palm trees, Steven however, got back to work, Taking a box of 'Captain Flakes' from a smooth wooden cupboard filled with other cereal brands. Steven proceeded to set the box down and grab the basic things we all need for breakfast, a bowl, cereal, and some milk. Pouring the cereal into the bowl and pouring the milk in with it, Steven took his breakfast and sat down on a stool with a leathery red seat and picking up a spoon that wasn't there, Steven proceeded to soak his hand in the white, cereal filled breakfast. Drying his hands, Steven grabbed his spoon and began eating, it had a soggy, yet dry feel with a crunchy salty taste. Steven could hear Peridot fumbling around in her sleep, eager to finish his soggy cereal, Steven eats the last bite, and puts the empty bowl in a clean metal sink, making a clang as it hit the polished metal. Somewhere behind Steven, Peridot pushes herself up slowly looking around, confused as ever, "What was that?" proclaims a tired little gem, "Sorry Peridot" Steven replies, sounding almost as tired as Peridot, "I'm just getting ready" says Steven to the tired gem, "It's snowing outside", "What's snow?" Peridot proclaims curiously, "Oh its a thing rain does when it gets really cold" Steven replies, gathering his usual attire and heading to the bathroom to change up, "hey Peridot, What was it like on Homeworld?" Steven asks, his voice muffled be the bathroom door, "It's.. alright, there's just a lot of metal, and huge structures everywhere" Peridot replies in a tired voice. Moments later Steven walks out with his usual star shirt, Peridot seemed, awfully tired even thought it was only morning, "Did you have troubles sleeping last night?" Steven asks politely noticing bangs under P-dot's eyes, "No, I was fine with sleeping" Peridot responds, a concerned look on her face, "Why? what's wrong?" She asks, "Oh nothing, just wondering" Steven replies trying to change the subject. "So you want to play in the snow?" Steven asks the little gem, "Is it safe?" Asks the green one with a curious yet concerned facial expression, "Of course it is! Playing in the snow is great, it may be a bit cold though" Replies Steven in a cheery voice, Peridot forced a smile on her tired face, "I guess I'll give it a try" Peridot responds with a little bit of eagerness as they open the door to see a vast landscape of soft white powder, the substance seemed to cover almost everything, with tree tops covered in the cold white substance. The wooden porch in front of the house had gleaming blue spikes hanging down from the frozen railings. "Woah.." proclaimed Peridot, in an exited tone, "Yup this stuff is awesome, watch this!" Steven proclaims as he jumps down into the frozen substance covering the beach below.
-=PERIDOT'S POV=-
Peridot could no longer see Steven as he went through the soft white substance, Peridot started to worry as Steven proclaims he probably should of grabbed something called 'Snow Shoes' and the green gem could hear him finding his way out of the white powder. Steven proved successful as he pulls himself over the railings, "I didn't think the snow was that deep, Ouch" Steven proclaims as he climbs his way over the wooden railings. "Yeah lets play outside later" a shivering Steven proclaims as we both walk back inside.
