-1: Bubble Trouble
"Why is it chasing us?!" Steven cried, looking at the gem monster as it pursued Connie, then looking to her as she climbed up a pile of rocks in an attempt to hide. "The bracelet! It eats bright stuff. Connie!"
"Steven!" Connie yelled, running toward Steven with the monster in pursuit.
"Give me the bracelet!" Steven said, taking the glow bracelet off the girl's wrist.
"What?!"
"It's okay, now go, go! Run that way!" Steven cried, pushing Connie in a different direction. "I'm sorry!"
The gem monster pursued Steven with the bracelet as he ran and yelled frantically, zigzagging around the pillars of the pier, causing the monster to wrap around itself, immobilizing it as it struggled to break free. Connie and Steven held hands and looked on in horror as the pillars broke, causing the pier to collapse on the monster and destroy it.
"Steven!" the Gems yelled, rushing toward the two.
"Steven, what's going on?!" Pearl snapped accusingly. "What did you do?!"
"He was incredible!" Connie gushed as Garnet picked up and bubbled away the monster's gem.
"Really? You mean it?" Steven asked, and Connie nodded. "Here's your bracelet… again."
"Thanks," Connie said with a laugh.
"So, are you going to introduce us?" Amethyst asked, grabbing Steven, who blushed.
"Steven was so excited to meet you," Pearl said to Connie, then she turned to Steven and said "right Steven?" causing him to nod and laugh nervously.
"Hey!" Garnet said, picking up Pearl and Amethyst. "Don't mess with his funky flow." And she walked off with them.
"Funky… flow?" Connie said, confused. Suddenly, she twisted around, having noticed something strange out of the corner of her eye. "There's another bubble!"
"What?! Where?" Steven asked, looking back at the collapsed pier, where an opaque emerald green bubble hovered, letting out a soft green glow. He watched as Connie walked over to the bubble and gently pushed it over to him. "I should take this to the Gems. They'll know what to do!"
"I need to go too. My parents are probably getting worried about me," Connie said, turning to leave. "I'll see you around, I guess."
"Yeah! I'll try to come back tomorrow, if I'm not busy with Gem stuff!" Steven said, carefully grabbing the bubble and starting to carry it back to the Temple.
