An: I hope you enjoy this story. I wanted to do something different. Please leave reviews! It should get better as it goes on.
"Garnet! Garnet! Garnet!" Steven shouted while running into the temple.
"Steven? Is something wrong?" Garnet quickly stood up and spawned her gauntlets in a panic.
"Don't worry Garnet, I'm alright." Steven blushed a bright pink colour.
"What is it that you wanted me for?" Garnet instantly changed the subject seeing Steven was a little embarrassed.
"I was wondering if we could go to Fun Land! You know like you, Pearl, Amethyst, Peridot, Lapis, and I." Steven excitedly said.
"Steven, we have a mission to go on." Garnet adjusted her shades.
"Can't you do it later?" Steven suggested getting a little upset.
"I'm sorry Steven, we can't go." Garnet ruffled his curly hair.
"You never do anything fun with me!" Steven blurted out in anger.
"We do plenty of fun things Steven." Garnet tried to calm Steven down.
Amethyst and Pearl came running out of the temple from all the commotion.
"What's happening G?" Amethyst asked Garnet kind of concerned.
"We have a mission to go on. Steven, we can hang out later, I promise." Garnet gave a weak smile.
"Can I go?" Steven begged.
"It's too dangerous for you Steven." Garnet frowned.
"Everything is too dangerous!" Steven shouted.
"I'm sure Garnet knows if a mission is too dangerous or not. Why don't you entertain yourself with the T.V?" Pearl suggested.
"Yeah little man. Isn't Crying Breakfast Friends coming on?" Amethyst smiled walking to the warp pad with Garnet and Pearl.
"I'm a Crystal Gem too." Steven formed tears in his eyes clutching his gem.
The warp pad activated before Steven finished his sentence. Something was wrong with Steven and no one knew why he was being like that.
With the Gems…
"Was Steven acting weird to you?" Pearl twiddled her thumbs while looking up at Garnet.
"He is upset that we can't hang out with him today." Garnet replied in her stoic tone.
"It must suck being left alone all day." Amethyst added feeling a little sympathy for Steven.
"Well if the mission is too dangerous for Steven than he can't go. It's as simple as that." Pearl smiled at her statement.
"He'll be okay." Garnet replied getting off the warp pad ready to fight a corrupted gem.
Back at the Temple…
"Why don't they trust me." Steven sighed laying down on his bed. "I've been training so hard to be able to go on missions with them." Steven frowned while lifting his shirt reveling his gem.
Steven didn't understand. He was a Crystal Gem too and they always treated him otherwise. He couldn't stand being home alone all day repeatedly. There was nothing for him to do. Suddenly a thought came into his head.
"Lapis and Peridot!" Steven jumped up in excitement pulling his shirt back down. "How come I never thought of being with them. I mean I wanted to hang out with them today anyway." Steven said to himself while walking over to the warp pad. He warped away to the barn.
"Lapis…Peridot?!" Steven yelled running towards the barn. "It's me Steven." Steven said making sure they knew it was him and not some stranger. He then saw a note on the door of the barn from Lapis and Peridot. It said:
Dear Steven and any other thing that is reading it,
We went to go explore more of the world. We wanted to see what else is out there. Plus Peridot just wanted to find more alien plushies…dork.
Lapis wrote that last line not me! Lapis is the dork, whatever that means! Lapis went with me to find more books and movies to watch. What a Clod!
We won't be back for a while.
From, Lapis & Peridot
"Yup, they totally wrote that together!" Steven laughed. "Who else is there to hang out with." Steven sat against the barn door. "Connie? No, she went away on vacation with her parents. She said she wouldn't be back for 3 whole weeks." Steven frowned picking himself up. "I guess there always is dad. Oh wait.. he said he was meeting a guy in a different town for more things for his car wash." Steven sadly walked over to the warp pad. He warped back to his house.
"What am I going to do now." Steven flopped onto the couch. Steven soon then fell asleep on the couch curled up into a ball.
With the Gems…
"Garnet what are we looking for?" Pearl questioned summing her spear.
"The corrupted gem might pop out at us anytime so be prepared." Garnet replied hoping that answered Pearl's question.
"This was too dangerous for Steven to come?" Amethyst spawned her whip.
"Yes." Garnet said in her stoic tone.
"I don't see anything dangerous!" Amethyst complained.
"Not yet anyway." Garnet replied.
"Amethyst even if it is not dangerous for us, it could still be dangerous for him. He is organic." Pearl looked around the field.
"We can protect him. We promised Rose that we would." Amethyst looked over at Pearl.
"We're protecting him by keeping him at the temple." Pearl strongly stated.
"Would you two stop." Garnet cut in.
"Whatever." Amethyst rolled her eyes.
Suddenly Garnet paused and looked into the future.
"We have to go back to Steven now!" Garnet stated.
"What? Why?" Amethyst de-spawned her whip.
"What's wrong with Steven? Is he okay?" Pearl started freaking out.
They all ran back to the warp pad and warped back to the temple.
With Steven…
"What's that noise?" Steven questioned waking up.
Steven got up and looked out the window. He saw a bunch of corrupted gems. "Am I dreaming?" Steven pinched himself hoping it was a dream. "Great." Steven sighed running out onto the beach spawning his shield. "Lion come here boy." He called for Lion. Lion came running to Steven roaring. "I need my sword." Steven put his hand into Lion's mane and dug out his sword. "This should be fun." Steven was a little worried.
"I'm over here!" He yelled to the corrupted gems. There must've been about 50 different corrupted gems. He started attacking and dodging hits. As he poofed some he bubbled them and sent them away to the temple. He for sure was Rose's son. He had her powers but he always got exhausted using them. It took up most of his energy.
"I don't think I can fight all of you on my own." He panted. He then heard screams from the temple.
"STEVEN!" The gems called running out onto the beach.
"Whoa!" Amethyst said spawning her whip once again.
"Steven get behind me!" Garnet yelled already jumping in front of him.
"How is this possible." Pearl said confused.
"I can't do it anymore. I already poofed and bubbled like 11 of them." Steven frowned feeling like a failure. He then collapsed.
"Steven!" Pearl came rushing over and helped Steven up. "Go to the temple. It's safer there for you." Pearl suggested pushing him towards the temple.
"This is crazy." Amethyst gasped.
"Poof as many as you can." Garnet said preparing for the worse.
"There's too many of them." Pearl said while getting grabbed by one of them.
"We all need to fuse." Garnet ran towards them but Pearl got snapped in half like a twig causing her to poof.
"Pearl!" Steven ran over and picked up her gem.
"Steven! Go to the temple…NOW!" Garnet yelled out to him.
"I can't run away from this!" Steven said spawning his shield even though he was feeling so weak.
"Dude do what Garnet says!" Amethyst getting slightly worried.
"You guys need me." Steven yelled fighting through his exhaustion.
"Steven please listen to me!" Garnet yelled while trying to fight the corrupted gems.
"I won't!" Steven yelled while watching Amethyst getting knocked down and cornered. "Amethyst!" Steven tried fighting the corrupting gems off her but she was soon poofed.
"Steven please go to the temple!" Garnet suggested still trying to fight them off but there was too many for her to do it on her own.
"Where did they all come from?" Steven said concerned while grabbing Amethyst's gem.
"I-I don't know." Admitted Garnet. "Put Pearl's and Amethyst's gem in the temple." Garnet stated strongly.
"Garnet behind you!" Steven pointed behind her but it was too late. The corrupted gem impaled her.
"Steven, I-I'm sorry. Listen to me. Get everyone out of town and ru-"Garnet was soon poofed and a blue and a red gem landed on the sand in front of him.
"Noooo! Garnet!" Steven cried snatching up Ruby's and Sapphire's gem.
