Steven Universe: A Bridge Too Far

Chapter 1: Downpour

It is 10 pm at night, the sky above has nothing but clear dark sky, many stars sparkling. The moon is glowing brightly, so much so that it almost gives an excuse not to waste any electricity and money on lights and electronic entertainment devices in Beach City.
The crickets making noises in the empty streets, the Big Doughnut store is obviously closed for the night. As many of the stores are in Beach City. Only the occasional house lights are on outside the coast area. Many families and people preferring to sleep at this time, there are exceptions, however.
You will find the odd person roaming the streets of Beach City, from a small boy with a strange appearance to a group of teenagers practising their instruments peacefully as their music follows the gentle cold breezes across the city.

On the coast, there are lights in the distance, which is part of a wooden house that is built on a lone mountain that has a lighthouse on the very top of an ancient temple. The mountain also has a carved statue of what appears to be a woman of some sorts with one hand raised out to her right. The house is near the stomach of this statue.
On further inspection, seeing through the windows of this house is a home that is almost like any other bungalow home. Except for the strange section when walking through the front door and seeing an odd pad that wouldn't mean much to an average human. However, it does mean something to certain kinds of people who currently live in this house. Going up some stairs is a small boy playing something with a purple looking woman beside him.

Steven Universe is sitting in front of his TV, playing a video game on the GameTube alongside his friend, fellow gem and even family, Amethyst. A pink looking lion is sleeping near the window, totally ignoring their back and forth.
The two of them have their eyes glued to the TV screen, having an intense gaming session playing Super Bash Royale. Steven's fingers mash the buttons yet he does this in a rhythmic fashion for his certain character, performing combos against Amethyst.
Amethyst sticks her tongue out, caught by Steven's combo "Gah! Nice moves Steven! But wait till you get a load of THIS!"

Amethyst also mashes some buttons to perform a spectacular combo in-game "Oh yeah! The Down Bash Special! BOOYAH!"

Steven gasps loudly seeing his favourite character being thrown across the screen, leading to the death and loss of their match "Oh no! Captain Seagull! You fought to the end, forever be my hero!"

The purple woman simply rolls her eyes at her friend's over-exaggeration "Oh come on Steve-O, if you wanna REALLY try again...then I got plenty of rematches in me!"

The boy chuckles softly at his friend's offer for a rematch, how could he possibly pass it up? Grabbing the controller once more, Steven grins widely while selecting another favourite character called Doctor Aria "Oh yeah! This time you're going down! Select Final Termination, we're doing this old style!"

But as soon as they're about to press start, a voice yells from below Steven's room, footsteps climbing the steps "Steven! You know it's time for bed, you two have been playing that thing for almost an hour straight!"

Steven and Amethyst turn their heads to the voice, slowly seeing the individual's head appearing from the edge of the floor, with a pearl on the forehead, pale skin, long arms and legs and a pointy nose, it's none other than Pearl.
Steven sees Pearl stepping towards them with her hands on hips, her foot tapping while giving a stern look at the two. Steven pouts, placing his hands together "Awww! Come on Pearl, just one more game? Pleeeaaase?"

"Yeah Pearl! Let the kiddo have one more game!"

Pearl opens her mouth but bites her lower lip, considering if she should let them have more game together? But she remembers something and shakes her head at them "Sorry Steven, but you promised an hour ago you would come off! And I've been generous for you tonight, you should've been in bed then!"

Steven tries to say something back but seeing Pearl's comments and expression, he didn't like being scolded for something like this. However, he did promise Pearl he would have come off and she even silently allowed him to play for a bit longer "I'm sorry Pearl, you're right."

Amethyst makes an expression of shock, to see Steven giving up so easily was unlike him "What!? Come on Steven, you don't have to listen to Pearl, she's just being-"

"What? Concerned for his health and well-being? At least I actually care for about the things you obviously disregard!"

Amethyst's eyes go wide, she didn't expect that "Oh is that what you think huh? Unlike YOU I wanna give Steven the chance of being a kid and trying to enjoy his life! You just do this because there's a bit of Rose inside him!"

Steven watches the two of them argue, wincing when hearing his mother's name being mentioned "Uh...guys?"

"N...No! How dare you! See here Amethyst-" Pearl is about to counter until a commanding voice bellows over them.

"That's enough!"

Steven, Amethyst and Pearl quickly turn their heads towards the commanding voice, Garnet is standing over them looking down. They gulp nervously, although she is wearing a large glass piece over her eyes...they can almost feel her stare. And it is not one that should be tested.
Garnet sighs deeply, calming herself down before she looks at the others "stop this pointless bickering. You're arguing over Steven's bedtime and Amethyst...we need to talk later on about what you"

Amethyst just grumbles loudly, going past Garnet and jumping down to the warp pad, summoning a door for her room "fine...whatever. Night Steven."

Pearl sighs shakily "s-sorry Garnet, I got carried away and should be remained calm. That was...my fault. I should be attending to my own room. G-Good night Steven."

Steven watches Pearl slowly going past Garnet towards the stairs quietly "g...good night Pearl...and please...don't be sad."

Pearl looks back at him, smiling slightly "thank you, Steven."

Garnet quietly waits for Pearl to go through her door via warp pad before walking over to Steven's bed, sitting down "now Steven, first off...sorry you had to hear that."

"No Garnet, I should have just listened and done as Pearl asked since I promised her. This is all my fault that everyone is feeling this way-"

Garnet holds her hand up in front of Steven, her mouth keeping a neutral expression "While you did promise Pearl that, Amethyst was also right about how you should still feel like a child while you're at this age."

Steven rubs his face, feeling tired and frustrated "So...what? I can't have both ways."

"Honestly Steven, it's still hard for us to understand these human ways of life and what you're interested in. We almost think it's pointless that you are, but we have to try and understand that the little things mean a lot to you, and others."

Breathing softly, Steven walks over to Garnet and nervously looks up "Guess I'm grounded?"

Garnet simply smiles, easing Steven's fears "No you're not. This all was just a silly argument, nobody is in trouble. Although Amethyst shouldn't have mentioned your mother, I just wanted to talk to them calmly."

"So that's why you broke it all up, so everyone can calm down and talk with more sense?" Steven asks curiously.

"Yup...and for you to get some sleep little man" Garnet smiles, gently picking Steven up and kisses his forehead.

Steven laughs sweetly, the kiss was warm and gentle "I-I will Garnet...thank you!"

Garnet chuckles and gently places Steven on the bed, seeing how he is already in his pyjamas. There wasn't much else needed to do besides turning off the Television and GameTube. As she turns them off, Garnet smiles to herself and adjusts her glasses 'Should we tell him we've been practising when he hasn't noticed? No, it'll be a nice surprise.'

Steven gets himself under the bedsheets, the comfort of his mattress, pillow and duvet makes him feel relaxed. Breathing in and out, Steven looks at Garnet walking over with a smile on her face "Goodnight Garnet."

"Goodnight Steven."

Steven giggles feeling another kiss on his head, he watches the Crystal Gem going slowly stepping down the stairs. Closing his eyes briefly, preparing for a deep sleep...however Steven's eyes shoot open and calls out "G...Garnet! Wait!"

Before Garnet's head disappears from his view, she snaps her heads towards him feeling alarmed "Steven! Are you alright?"

"Y-yeah...but I just wanted to ask you a question...if that's okay with you?"

Garnet stares at him quietly, almost mentally playing out different situations in her head before she responds "Okay Steven, go ahead."

Steven starts feeling uncomfortable with his question, but he wanted to know this for so long and what Garnet thinks most of all "G...Garnet...do you all...sometimes wish mom was here instead of me?"

All of sudden Garnet's whole world crashes upon her, her mouth hangs open from pure shock at this question. Not even future vision could prepare this sudden question...but why!? What could possibly make Steven think that they think it's his fault Rose is gone?

Garnet doesn't move from her spot, just gently shaking her head sideways "S...Steven...what...how...did...we do something to make you think like this?"

Steven quickly sits up from his bed, his heart racing and feeling cold-blooded "Nonono! It's just that...that...mom always usually comes up in conversations on how great she was and how much good she was. Sometimes...you guys don't see me as Steven Universe but as Rose Quartz. A-And I thought...if I was gone and somehow she came back...maybe you all would be happy again?"

Garnet takes all this in, so much that it becomes too much for her to handle. She covers her mouth, tears dripping down from her face "S-Steven...I-I'm...sorry but we...we...need to think about this deeply...with the others."

The half-human feels nervous seeing Garnet like this, trying to keep herself from breaking apart into Ruby and Sapphire "G-Garnet...I-I'm so sorry-"

"No Steven! You...shouldn't have to be sorry for anything...w...we need to have a conversation in the morning. I-I promise you, Steven..." Garnet is able to choke out before rushing off to her own room.

Steven sits in his bed, feeling a dreadful amount of guilt and shame on himself. Covering his face with his hands, he hits his mattress "Why did I do that!? I should have just kept in like always...o-of course they care about me! But...I...just had to know for sure!"

Lion was awake ever since Steven asked the question to Garnet, just staring and not making any noises as usual. Lion sees Steven's face his pillow and gently licks Steven's ear. The half-human slowly stares at his pink friend and smiles weakly "I'm an idiot...huh pal?"

The boy becomes surprised when the creature actually licks his cheek, meaning that Steven isn't? Or telling him to cheer up before Lion lays back down so it can sleep. Sighing deeply, Steven lays back down and stares at his ceiling "Mom...they all love you, even if you say you're proud of having me. But they all miss you...they would give anything to bring you back, I...would just to see you."

Steven's eyes become heavy, feeling tired from all of this. He just wishes that it could have been normal like always, except for the invasions by Jasper, the squad of Rubies and Blue Diamond's visit. Those were interesting times, and many more are expected for the foreseeable future.
Now that Peridot and Lapis are in an old abandoned farmhouse, they seem to be getting along well together. Steven smiles slightly before going to sleep, a very deep sleep.

Steven Universe is dreaming, at the moment he is laying down on a grass of green at night. Seeing the stars sparkle brightly as the cold wind gently blows through his hair. He slowly gets up and sighs happily, looking around he notices Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl is in the distance talking with his father Gregory Universe, Lion laying around, as usual, Lapis, Peridot and Connie who is smiling and laughing away. The most important people in his life are happy, which makes Steven happy as he lays down and keeps looking at the starry sky...suddenly, he notices bright flashes of white and red!

Slowly standing up straight, Steven squints his eyes to try and see if he can make anything out. Only able to make out there is 1 flash of white and 3 flashes of red, exploding in space without any sounds. Steven tries calling out to the others but he couldn't speak, now running towards them at full speed the half-human notices they're getting further away with each step he takes until they're completely gone.
Now noticing he is in complete darkness, looking around to see nobody is here. Feeling terrified and confused, Steven touches his gem, wondering if there will be combat. Suddenly the flashes of white and red explode all around him, moving away from them the best Steven can! But no good, the exact same 1 white flash and 3 red flashes explode loudly around him! For some reason, Steven strongly feels that they're looking at him as they explode? Hearing faint whispers that are hard to make out, broken and mixed pitches "WiSh..."

Steven Universe stares in wonder at the explosions, hearing more words "wHeERe...wISh..."

The only thing this half human can do is think 'w-wishes? What is going on? I'm...getting scared now!'

"Nay! thou art not worthy!" a very old voice creaks out, creating a massive flash of white that encases Steven.

'AHHH! What's going on!? Wait...my eyes are closed but I see...something...a small piece of rocky with grass on top in the middle of space, nothing else around it? And...a well?'

Suddenly the old strained voice speaks so loudly, he almost went deaf "How far would thy go?"

Steven's vision ponders closer and closer towards the well that, trying to see the inside of it but like a jolt of electricity going through Steven. He gasps loudly and shoots up from his bed, gasping loudly and sweating like mad! Looking around, it's still his bedroom, Lion notices Steven but thought nothing of it and went back to sleep.
Slowly and nervously removing the duvet off himself, Steven's bare feet touch the cold wooden floor that sends chills down the spine "I-I-I need...a-a-a drink..."

Like a wolf eating food, Steven gulps down almost 4 full cups of cold water and makes a satisfying sigh. Feeling a lot cooler and calmer than before, taking another glass of water and sipping every so often. Steven looks outside the window seeing the beach, it's raining like cats and dogs out there "oh boy...what a time to start raining huh?"

Seeing that the time is currently 2:32 am, Steven realises he has only been asleep since 11pm...if Pearl ever finds out about this. She would most like to upset and mad, however, he currently doesn't care if he does get scolded at the moment she sees him at night "I would normally say that was a creepy and spooky nightmare, but it didn't feel like that. And I been in some weird stuff before!"

Steven grabs one of his jackets and wearing slippers, still holding the glass of water. He opens the door and hears the full might of the rain pouring down, Steven closes the door and notices the yellow 'Sunbrella' he called it is still on the table on his left. Casually walking over to a seat under the sunbrella, Steven is thankfully the plastic chair is relatively dry, seeing the waves crashing into the shore while the rain roughly pours on anything it touches. Taking a sip of water, Steven feels relaxed hearing all this...thankfully it's not too cold for this time of night and weather "what was that voice? How far would I go...for what though? Was that combat? I...don't understand...maybe it was a stupid nightmare!"

Steven finishes off his glass of water and sighs heavily "they were fighting...for a wish...heh, if I could make a wish...I would bring my mother back! So everyone can live happily ever after!"

A loud thunder echoes throughout the sky, making Steven jump "Whoa! That was really loud! I better get back inside"

Steven grabs his glass and dashes back inside the house closing the door behind him. Slowly taking off the jacket, he hangs it up to dry and takes off his slippers. Steven yawns loudly "I should sleep, just hope I don't have any nightmares...I don't need to bring this up for the others. Oh boy, I forgot about the morning conversation! Ugh…"

Steven slowly goes up the stairs and goes back to his bed, soon getting under the duvet to fall asleep instantly.

Early Morning

Steven wakes up at 8 am in the morning, still feeling tired and pretty hungry. However, he didn't fancy having anything at home. Lazily getting out of bed, slowly getting dressed in his signature pink T-shirt with a gold star in the centre of it. He also wears cuffed blue jeans and salmon-pink flip-flop sandals.
Still seeing the heavy rain pouring down from earlier, Steven sighs and pulls out his phone from the table and starts typing "Hey Connie! Steven here! How're you? Since it's Saturday and hopefully you're free...is it alright that we meet up together at the Big Doughnut?"

Steven taps the send button and goes to find his jacket and puts it on, looking up to his room he calls out "Liooooon! Can you give me a lift to the Big Doughnut?"

Lion peeks it's head out from the bedroom and stares, yawning loudly and gently landing next to Steven "Thanks Lion!"

The mobile phone starts buzzing, gasping softly, Steven quickly checks his messages "Connie replied Lion! She agreed to meet me at the Big Doughnut, saying wanted to spend the day with me anyway! Awww! I gotta replay her somehow. Oh! Before we go, better make a note for the others if I don't get back in time."

The boy starts making a note and places it on the table, turning around he hugs Lion's head and gets onto it's back "Okay! Next stop, Big Doughnut!"

Lion uses its paw to open the door and walks outs while Steven closes the door before he feels Lion leap across the beach and across some houses in Beach City. Steven begins laughing and cheering, never before has he felt such a sensation like this in the rain with Lion "Whooooa! It's like going through a car wash at dads! I don't advise you get personally cleaned in one! It's scary!"

The pink lion simply rolls its eyes at this, still leaping across the houses until Steven sees the Big Doughnut store's lights are on "Awesome! Lars and Sadie must be setting things up before it opens! Okay Lion, let's go down there and see if they're open!"

Steven and Lion went down to the entrance of Big Doughnut, the boy quickly jumps off his ride and Steven runs over and places his face firmly on the glass window looking like a frog. He sees Sadie behind the counter sorting out the freshly made doughnuts to be on sale. She is talking out loud, although Steven couldn't hear due to the glass and rain. He notices Lars mopping the floor, talking with Sadie who says something that makes Lars look away for Steven to see his expression. A very rare look of embarrassment and a faint blush, Steven giggles seeing him like this, until seeing Lars turn his expression into horror and hugs himself making a high pitch scream.
From Lar's point of view, seeing a wide face pressing against the glass window while the light shines on it, dark background and heavy rain "AAHHH! Froggie wants his revenge!"

Sadie runs over to make sure Lars is okay "w-what are you talking about?"

They look at the window and see Steven, taking his face off the window and waves nervously. Lars looks confused "Steven? What're you doing here so late? Wait…Steven, you! What the heck man!?"

Steven watches Lars rush over to the doors and swings them open soon as they're unlocked "What's the big idea!? Jeez Steven, scare me half to death!"

"Hehehe...sorry Lars, you got to admit hearing you scream like that was funny!"

Sadie walks next to Lars and laughs "not every day you get to hear him scream like that! Come in Steven! Can't let you get a cold."

Soon as Sadie says that, quick footsteps are audible from the side. Soft yet nimble, Steven beams happily seeing a good friend "Connie!"

Connie logs over towards Steven, holding an umbrella with a big smile "Steven! Dad drove me here as soon as I got your message!"

"Thanks, Connie, I'm sorry for doing this so suddenly."

Connie waves it off "No! We were gonna hang out eventually today, right? Besides, I got my homework done."

Sadie smiles innocently at them "Cute as it is, get inside you two. The last thing we want is for you to get a cold."

The two kids accept Sadie's request and steps inside into the carpet, Lion follows them inside. Lars notices how wet Steven was and sighs loudly "alright, want me to let your coat to dry? Connie, want to place your umbrella in the container? Don't want you ruining my floor!"

Steven takes off his wet coat and gives it to Lars while Connie puts her umbrella away. Lion is dripping wet making Lars skip a beat "Lion...don't…"

Lion starts shaking its body, making the rainwater lands onto the floor especially Lars "AAAHH! WATER! IT BUUURNS!"

Connie out of instinct grabs her umbrella and opens it up, covering herself, Steven and Sadie. The water bounces off the umbrella when feeling it all stop Connie expertly closes it up and in a swift motion throws remaining water off "that was close."

Sadie looks astonished at this, looking at Steven's who has star eyes "w-wow Connie, still take your training seriously!"

"Wow Connie! You're still awesome as ever!" Steven cheers, hugging Connie

Connie blinks when being hugged, but realises it's Steven, she blushes a little and giggles "Thank you, Steven!"

Sadie watches them hug and laugh together, smiling widely 'they'd make a great couple if they taught about it.'

Seeing all the water onto the floor and Lars spitting out some with Lion's fur, Lars has a red face of anger and begins having a temper tantrum "NNNGHHH! I JUST CLEANED THIS FLOOR! COME ON!"

Steven and Connie tilt their head at Lars, looking at Sadie who just winks "come on Lars, you know customers are going to come in and wet the floor anyway?"

"Well yeah! That's true but...Lion...Oh, not the Sadie look! Come on!"

Steven and Connie's expression becomes very confused, having no idea what a 'Sadie Look' is like. Looking at Sadie, she is smiling sweetly at Lars...not blinking...for some reason sends shivers down their spines "Whoa...I wouldn't need lenses in my glasses to feel that."

The half human can only nod in agreement, remembering Connie doesn't need her actual glasses thanks to Steven's accidentally healing spit from his juice healed her eyes. The only reason she wears them glasses without the lenses is to ensure her parents never find out.
Connie moves a hair away from her face and goes to sit down "so...what did you want to talk about Steven?"

Steven who was at the front counter bought some doughnuts for himself, Connie and some for Lion who is facing the wrath Lars glaring, but Lion licks his forehead "UGH! DONT LICK MY-uh...sorry Sadie."

"Oh yeah, right. Well, Connie...it's a bit of stupid reason honestly."

Connie watches Steven, kindly thanking him for the doughnuts "you know you can talk to me, magic or non-magic. Remember? So go ahead, all ears."

Steven Universe takes a bite of his sugar coated doughnut, the freshness and warmth is always a comforting feeling for him "last night...I basically been stupid, I made Pearl and Amethyst argue against each other when I kinda refused to go to bed, which somehow brought my mom up. But Garnet arrived and broke everything up."

Connie gives Steven a sympathetic look, urging him to continue "go on."

"She said everything would be fine and would just talk to the others about it, then I went to bed. But...I asked Garnet something that...I always wanted to say but was always afraid...Connie...I asked Garnet if they all sometimes wished Rose was here instead of me?"

After hearing those last few words, Connie eyes go wide and covers her mouth. She knew Steven on an odd occasion thought things like this, but never to the extent of wondering a life without him in it. Connie quickly crawls over and hugs Steven "Steven! That's not true! You can't think like that! Remember all the things you went through to overcome this, you even asked Room to see your mom..."

Steven holds back tears, not wanting to show weakness in front of his friend. But why did he want to meet Connie so early? For pity? Yes... "Yeah...and how mom asked how much she wanted me and was so proud to have me...but is that what the others think?"

Connie hugs Steven, resting her head on his shoulder "I...wouldn't know how they personally feel Steven, but I do know this. They wanted you to live in that house they built for you, trained you, played with you, looked after you and cared for you. You know better than I, that's what you told me and what I've seen since meeting you and them."

The young boy looks at Connie, smiling softly and touches her shoulder 'Connie, you've always been there for me even if you don't understand the things we do, heh...sometimes you know a lot more than I do...guess that's a lot! What have I done to deserve someone like you?'

Connie feels his hand on her shoulder, hugging each other closer "Are you...going to talk to them, Steven?"

"Y-yeah...well...I was supposed to about now or something, I left a note telling them where I would be."

The young girl slowly stands up, gently helping her best up as well "come on Steven, if you want...I'll be by your side as you all talk."

"R-really? I-I don't want to bring you into the mess that I made-"

Connie quickly cuts him off, a look of determination fires in her eyes "WE are partners, we are Stevonnie. I'm going to protect you, as Pearl said when training me 'You'll do it for him.'"

"Oh Connie, thank you so much...you're a great friend" Steven and Connie hug each other.

Lars and Sadie had stopped working when hearing Steven being serious with emotional talk with Connie, it's rare that they ever see or hear him like this.
Even Lars had to feel for Steven, as much as he puts on a show, especially now...he'd never want to see Steven like this. So, having thought of a brilliant idea that would change the mood "You know Steven, Connie...me and Sadie are surprised you two aren't a couple!"

Connie chuckles, still hugging Steven "me too."

Steven sighs happily "me three."

Suddenly both of them pull away from their hug, holding each other's arms while sweating bullets and eyes widen. Their mouths spoke before their heads processed what Lars said, blushing dark red at each other...wondering how to come back from this "What did we say!?" they both shout.

Lars and even Sadie couldn't resist the urge of laughing loudly, it really was funny but so adorable how they're acting. If only Steven and Connie could share their sense of humour "w-w-we...we're really good friends!" Connie responds nervously.

Steven shyly folds his arms, trying not blush red "Y-Yeah! Connie is really nice and really pretty, she'd want to date someone like me!"

Connie's jaw drops, looking so shy and blushing so brightly that the lights in the store are almost overwhelmed by her blush. She didn't know how to respond, stuttering whatever came to mind "S-S-S-Steven! T-T-That d-doesn't h-help our c-case!"

"What do you mean?...Oh...Ooooh...LION! WE MUST RETREAT!" Steven nervously shouts, gently pulling Connie to Lion.

Lion feels Connie and Steven jumping onto it's back, teleporting through the floor and closing the portal as soon as he goes through.
Lars and Sadie look at each other, not knowing if they should say anything or even do anything. Lars quietly walks over to Sadie has his arm on her right shoulder, gently hugging her in "Uh...they forgot to get the umbrella and coat..."

Sadie coughs quietly, smiling awkwardly at this "Uh...next time they come back, we'll give it back to them?"

"Y-Yeah."

Beachside Temple

Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl walk out from the warp pad, Pearl overtaking them and paces around the room "Garnet..I-I really am nervous about this all, I know we've been talking all nights for hours as Steven slept. But...it really makes me think if everything that I have done made him think that we hate him! I should of just let him play that game with you Amethyst!"

Amethyst sighs loudly, shaking her head slightly "Pearl, we talked about this. Garnet is right, we both were wanting the best for him. It's a stupid topic we need to get over."

Garnet nods, adjusting her glasses "correct, I'm almost certain things will go through if we all sit down with Steven and talk...like a family."

Pearl and Amethyst feel Garnet touching their shoulders as she said family, the two gems stares at Garnet and then at each other. Slowly nodding in agreement "you're right Garnet, we'll go through what we discussed last night. I'll go to Steven now..."

Amethyst and Garnet watch Pearl slowly walk up the steps to Steven's room, expecting a gentle voice to call out for him...instead, they see their companion turn around, screeching like a cat "STEVEN ISN'T HERE! HE RAN AWAY FROM US! WHAT DO WE DO!?"

Garnet feels a tinge of worry, slowly looking around she spots a note on the kitchen table "Hm..."

Amethyst holds her hands up to try and calm her companion down "Pearl...come on take it easy, hey! Don't hiss at me! Otherwise, you won't a pit to hiss in! Oh boy! She's got claws!"

"It's alright everyone" Garnet calmly speaks out.

Pearl quickly calms down, who was in a pouncing position facing Amethyst holding a chair in front and using her weapon to tame Pearl "uh...whaddya mean Garny?"

Garnet holds out the piece of paper, speaking softly "Dear Garnet, Pearl and Amethyst, sorry if I'm not in. I wanted to visit the Big Doughnut and meet up with Connie. I promise I won't be long. Love, Steven."

Pearl slowly stands up normally, brushing herself off "Ahem...uh...of course! We can wait patiently."

Amethyst grins widely "can't wait to tell Steven you acted like a cat! HA!"

"Oh no, you won't Amethyst!"

The two of them start running around the house, Garnet smiles softly at this, it's their way of having fun and bonding together better "Hmm...even we still have a lot to learn about each other. See you soon Steven."

To Be Continued

Kept you waiting huh?

Yes! That's right! I'm back everyone! With a new FanFic and a new mind ready to try and tackle a story I always wanted to try with Steven Universe!

I've been a massive fan of Steven Universe ever since my friend shown Season 1 when it first aired! Looking at you bro!

However, maybe quite a few of you don't like the tone I have written, I understand if it's a little too serious. But that's how I've come to like writing my stories and characters, these are instances that I try and see if there can be a realistic perspective or how a character would think.

I want to try and keep the core of what made the TV Show fantastic and make cartoons on television fantastic like the days of Teen Titans and Justice League. And it has been quite some time since I seen the last season. I honestly didn't know where to start or how I can make it work. Hopefully, I found something you may like.

I'm also publishing this story on the 19th of September 2018, the 7th anniversary of my popular fanfic My Little and Human: Friendship is Magic! To any of my followers and watchers who been with me since 2011. I want to say from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you.

I hope to keep creating more stories that you all can enjoy and for newcomers to enjoy as well!

Please Read and Review, it really helps!

Until next time...WE, ARE THE CRYSTAL GEMS!
