Steven Universe: Tokyo trip
Dream sequence.
The scenery was peaceful just a night sky above an endless ocean with a few dozen crystal stalagmites that act as little islands. Steven Universe was standing on 1 of these crystal islands staring out into the stars not really sure what his doing here. Of all the dreams Steven has had in his life this one was probably the weirdest by far, unlike the Malachite and Blue Diamond dreams this one made no sense to him. Then he heard singing it was beautiful gentle song like hearing the voice of an angel, he looked around to find the source of the melody and noticed someone on a near by island.
Steven: hey! Excuse me!.
The mystery person hears Steven call to them and turns to see him float-jump to a crystal island next to them. This unknown individual was a girl about a head or 2 taller than Steven with strawberry blonde hair that had pink streaks in it, wearing a blue dress.
?: Kon'nichiwa[she said with bowing her head].
Steven:[returning the gesture] uh hi I'm Steven and you are.
Sakura: Sakura nice to meet you Steven-san.
Steven: me too.
The 2 just starred at each other trying to figure out something about the other, but before any questions could be asked an enormous shadow flew over them and then a gigantic Dragon as tall as Alexantrite landed in front of them. The beast lowered it's head and let out an thunderous ear splitting roar and then total blackness.
End of Dream sequence.
It was morning and Steven wakes up in a shocked and confused state, that last part was definitely not in the other dreams Japanese speaking girls, giant Dragons, once again our hero has more questions than answers.
Beach city.
Later in the day Steven was wandering through beach city until he came across a small booth. It was managed by a woman wearing a veil. He walked up to the woman to see what she was selling.
?: hello there young man.
Steven: hi what's this stand for.
?: it's for a contest.
Steven: contest?.
?: yes win a free all expense paid trip to Tokyo, Japan care to give it a try.
Steven: sure what's the catch?.
The lady brought out medium sized white box with a hole at the top. Steven just looked at it with a confused and questioning look on his face.
?: simply put your hand into the hole and pull out 1 of the many balls inside the box, and if you pull out the golden ball you win, but you only get 1 try so make it count.
Steven: okay.
Steven put his hand into the box and started feeling around for one of the balls. Suddenly Steven felt 1 of the balls and pulled his hand out revealing the ball to be gold in color.
?: congratulations! young man you are the winner!.
Steven: [his eye's lit up like stars as he cheered] i won! [The woman handed Steven a small poster, an envelope and 8 air plane tickets, he happily took it] thank you [he said bowing before leaving].
As Steven left a person clocked in all black appeared behind the woman, they were silent like a shadow that stalks in the night.
Shadow person: you really think his the one?.
?: yes the human boy, who is also a gem.
Shadow person: alright I'll get everything ready back home.
?: thank you [the Shadow person disappeared the same way they appeared] Rose Quartz, it's good to have you back.
At the Temple.
The Crystal Gems were doing their usual things Amethyst was eating whatever was in the fridge, Pearl had taken up knitting and Garnet was just chilling. Everything was quiet and then Steven came bursting in.
Steven: Guys! Guys!.
Pearl: whoa Steven calm down what happened.
Amethyst: ya did they run out of cookie cat ice cream.
Steven: no i was down by the docks next to Fun-land and you'll never guess what happened.
Garnet: you won a trip to Japan.
Steven: uh yes that's right.
Amethyst: isn't that the place with the big wall.
Pearl: no your thinking of China.
Steven: so anyway I've got 8 plane tickets that 1 for each of you guys, Connie, Dad, Lapis and Peridot.
Pearl: you want to invite Lapis and Peridot?.
Steven: ya i thought it'd be good to have them see more of earth.
Garnet: they'll probably say no.
Steven: we won't know for sure.
The Barn.
Lapis: no thanks.
Steven: but why?.
Peridot: ya this place sounds fun.
Lapis: why do we need to take this plane to go there when i can fly.
Steven: well the ticket is free and this way you get to take the trip with friends, plus not i don't think you could carry everyone all the way there.
Lapis: i don't know?.
Peridot: pleeease[doing the cutest face you can imagine].
Lapis: [blushing a little] oh okay.
Steven: woohoo! this will be the greatest vacation ever.
The Next Day.
With everything said and done the group had made preparations for the trip and set out by the afternoon.
Beach City Airport.
In less than a week the group consisting of Steven, Greg, Connie, Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl, Lapis Lazuli and Peridot, the Crystal Gems were at the Gate and boarded the plane with no problems what so ever. Which seemed odd to some because the gems didn't really have passports, but the people at the airport seem to be alright with them regardless. The flight took 18 hours but they eventually arrived at Tokyo, Japan.
Tokyo Airport.
The passengers disembarked from the flight along with our protagonist Steven with his friends and family. They proceeded to the main lobby and walked up to a man holding a sign that read UNIVERSE.
?: good day Universe-san, my name is Satoshi I'm here to bring you to your hotel.
Greg: oh cool they sent a chauffeur.
Lapis: doesn't this seem a little strange to anyone.
Amethyst: oh lighten up a little.
The group followed Satoshi into a limousine, Lapis still held her concerns over trusting their guide but Steven and Greg reassured her that it was safe.
Tokyo Hotel.
Our heroes arrived at their hotel and unpacked, but were indecisive on what to do next.
Amethyst: come on we travelled 10,000 miles to get here, i say we go and see this city.
Pearl: Amethyst we just got here can't we rest first.
Steven: i wanna see the city too.
Greg: i have to go with Shtoo-ball, it'd be waste not to.
Peridot: yes i myself would like to explore this part of earth I'm just now visiting.
Pearl: but [Garnet put a hand on Pearl's shoulder].
Garnet: Pearl nothing will go wrong.
Pearl: oh alright.
Steven: woohoo!.
Tokyo city.
With no more arguing to get in the way our heroes left for a day on the town. Everyone sort of did their own thing, Pearl and Garnet were checking out the scenery, Amethyst hit the all you can eat sushi restaurants, Peridot and Lapis went to a Japanese aquarium, then to a bunch of electronic and manga shops, as for Steven, Connie and Greg. Satoshi took them on a tour around the city they did a bunch of sight-seeing including many historical Japanese castles and temples. They also went to a couple of book stores to check out Japanese literature and the arcades, Steven and Connie had a blast playing the various games.
Later at night.
Steven, Connie and Greg met up with the gems for a music concert Satoshi had told Greg about. The gang was at a big stadium with a multitude of other people, waiting for the show to start.
Amethyst: so who's playing?.
Greg: i don't know someone they call "the Pink Star" i heard that she's really popular[looking at program he picked up].
Pearl: that Japanese phrase book you picked up came in really handed, anyone could have been lost trying to decipher this language.
Garnet: show's starting.
The spotlight shined down on the stage, a 16 year old girl wearing a sparkling black dress that looked like the night sky with her tied up in to pig tails with similar ribbons. Steven got a good look at her from the jumbotron TV screens that hung over the stage and she looked familiar to him.
Pink Star: thank you all for coming out tonight!.
Audience: "cheering!".
Pink Star: then lets go!.
A loud bell rings in the background as the green screen displayed the image of a castle.
Gomen ne sunao janakute
Yume no naka nara ieru
Shikou kairo wa shooto sunzen
Ima sugu aitai yo
I can say it in my dreams
My thoughts are about to short circuit
I want to be with you right now
Nakitaku naru you na moonlight
Denwa mo dekinai midnight
Datte junjou doushiyou
Haato wa mangekyou
I can't even call, it's midnight
But I'm so innocent, what should I do
My heart's a kaleidoscope
Tsuki no hikari ni michibikare
Nando mo meguriau
Seiza no matataki kazoe uranau koi no yukue
Onaji kuni ni umareta no
Mirakuru romansu
We meet by chance again and again
The countless shining stars above us foretell love's whereabouts
Born on the same Earth
A miracle romance
Moichido futari de weekend
Kamisama kanaete happy-end
Genzai kako mirai mo
Anata ni kubittake
God, please give us a happy end
In the present, past, and future
I'll always be in love with you
Deatta toki no natsukashii
Manazashi wasurenai
Ikusenman no hoshi kara anata wo mitsukerareru
Guuzen mo chansu ni kaeru ikikata ga suki yo
Glance you gave, I'll never forget
From the millions of stars in the sky, I can find you
Changing coincidences into chances, I love this way of life
Fushigi na kiseki kurosu shite
Nando mo meguri au
Seiza no matataki kazoe uranau koi no yukue
Onaji kuni ni umareta no
Mirakuru romansu
Shinjite iru no mirakuru romansu
We meet by chance again and again
The countless shining stars above us foretell love's whereabouts
Born on the same Earth
A miracle romance
I do believe in that, a miracle romance.
As she took a bow, the audience began cheering over her performance. While Steven and his friends joined in the cheering but Steven was also staring at the girl on stage, she reminded him of someone but couldn't figure out who it was another mystery that needed to be answered. After the show had ended the group was heading back to the hotel but Steven felt some weird sensation and walked off from the group. Steven found himself outside the stadium from the show, he glanced to his right and saw a person in the distance and walked in the direction he was looking. Once close enough he recognized them as the girl in his dream and was also the "Pink Star" the singer from the show. Steven saw her walk away and disappear, he then proceeded to run to where she was standing only to find zero trace of her. Steven stood there wondering about what it meant, Connie ran up to him apparently having ignored her calling for him.
Connie: Steven there you are, Pearl freaked out when you disappeared.
Steven: did you see her.
Connie: who?.
?: ya who?.
Steven: the girl the one who was singing at the show, wait who said that?.
Steven and Connie looked side to side wondering where the voice came from, only to look down and find a medium sized white wolf standing in between them.
Steven: do you know where she went.
Wolf: i could tell you but then I'd have to kill the both of you [running off in the same direction as the mystery girl ].
Connie: did that wolf just talk.
Steven: ya and it said it knew something let's go![running off to chase the wolf].
Connie: Steven! Wait!.
Both children went after the strange talking wolf in the hope of getting answers, they eventually made it to a fairly large Japanese castle that looked very impressive with a big wall to match. Sitting in front of them was the same wolf they were talking too.
Wolf: you 2 again huh, didn't take may warning seriously.
Steven: alright no game's where's that girl from the show.
Wolf: i don't know who your talking about.
Connie: don't play dumb, you saw us 2 minutes ago.
Wolf: you sure all you humans look alike to us gems.
Steven: are you a gem?.
Wolf: they know too much BB, Butterfly attack!.
Steven: huh?.
2 small beings attacked Steven and Connie from behind when they weren't looking, both kids were tackled to the ground by these mysterious attackers. Both were around the same size as Amethyst but physically different in terms of colors and hairstyles. One has butter yellow skin with chocolate brown spots, wearing a yellow and brown dress with a sleeveless turtleneck top and a wavy bubble skirt. The other had peach skin, with pale mulberry stripes and butter yellow and sea blue spots. with hair that is cream yellow in a wild, unruly hairstyle, presenting a bang over her right eye. And an outfit consists of a sleeveless purple and magenta crop tank-top. She also wears pale purple pants tucked into off-white purple boots.
?#1: we got them Howlite!, we got them!.
?#2: do you want us to break their legs or arms.
The Wolf started glowing began changing into a humanoid shape, once the glowing ended it had taken the form of a young woman with dual coloured grey and black hair and skin white as snow with black crack like veins on the left side of her face, wearing a light grey sweater with light blue jeans and black sneakers. The most shocking part was the gemstone on the back of her left hand, signifying that this person was a gem like Steven and the other Crystal Gems.
Howlite: well we don't normally get trespassers[ summoning a double bladed axe] so that's really up to me.
Connie: we didn't mean to.
Steven: yay we were just looking for someone.
Howlite: who?.
Steven: the girl with the pink streaks.
Howlite: how do you know about-
before Howlite could finish her sentence a giant water hand had smacked her to the side and grabbed the 2 gems that were pinning Steven and Connie, and threw them at Howlite. Greg and the Gems ran up to Steven and Connie to make sure they were okay, meanwhile Lapis was busy using her hydrokinesis to fight the 3 mystery Gems. Until a black streak cut the hand in half, leaving the Crystal gems shocked. Another gem appeared in front of the group, this one's physical form had off-white skin, eyes of the purest silver, jet black hair and wore a jet black kimono wielding a black katana. The new gem starred at Steven with an intense glare that could strike fear into the heart of any foe. This had her gem on the back of her right hand
Howlite: thanks for the save Onyx, but i had this covered.
Onyx:[sheathing her sword and smacking Howlite on the head] Howlite Baka!.
Howlite: ow what was that for.
Onyx: these are the guests we were told to wait for, you bonehead.
Garnet and Pearl looked at Onyx and Howlite with shock and awe, Howlite had a look of disbelief just like them. The moment was interrupted by the arrival of a girl wearing a pink kimono with a golden trim. Steven and the girl locked eyes as if their meeting was destiny.
Sakura: nice to meet you in person Steven-san.
To be continued.
