Hello everybody! This quick, probably 4 chapter story is based off a little head cannon that I got after thinking about the new season of Steven Universe. Although this is marked as a crossover, the story is only similar to the episode of SpongeBob SquarePants "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy 3". I do not own the rights to either series, although I'd be more than willing to let Rebecca Sugar turn this into an actual episode.

The sun was shining immensely on another beautiful day in Beach City, New Jersey. On the large grassy cliff above the beach, Steven Universe sat on the checkered picnic blanket enjoying the day he'd been having so far.

Sitting with him were his five moms The Crystal Gems. He had somehow convinced all five of them to attend a picnic together on the cliff above the temple. Although he secretly knew they were all super pushovers when it came to him and his ideas of fun.

So far though the picnic wasn't going as fun as he hoped. The only one eating besides him was Amethyst, and Lapis wasn't even sitting with the rest of them, rather she was sitting on the far edge of the cliff as far away as Steven would let her without fussing about it.

"Come on guys this is boring!" Steven finally yelled out of frustration. "we should at least pass the time doing something together!"

The rest of the Gems looked around each other awkwardly until Pearl broke the silence

"Steven I don't think tha-"

"Well what would you like to play Steven?" Garnet enthusiastically interrupted her.

"Hmmm" he pondered.

"I KNOW!" Amethyst shouted, "since Steven can fly now, it would be wicked if we played hide and seek!"

"What's "hide and seek?"" Peridot asked

"It's where a bunch of people hide and one person looks for them!" Steven explained "also if the seeker finds you, then you've got to help them find the others, and the last person found wins!".

"Well it would be good to help him unlock his full potential" Pearl nervously said.

"Then it's settled! I'll seek and you guys hide!" Steven excitedly said while covering his eyes. "One, two, three, four…."

By the time he hit two Garnet and Amethyst were already gone, Pearl nervously looked around and ran off in the direction of the Temple. Lapis nonchalantly stepped over the edge of the cliff and into the water below.

That left Peridot. Looking around desperately, she finally decided on a hiding place.

"28, 29, 30! Ready or not here I come!" Almost immediately, he found Peridot hidden under the picnic blanket.

"ARGH! How could you find me!? What gave away my position!?" She screamed.

"Ok Peridot, we now have to find the others together" Steven explained the rules to his confused friend once more.

They decided to search for Lapis first since the water was right by them. Steven continued to float at a safe distance scanning the skies, while Peridot followed scanning the tide for her barnmate.

Eventually Peridot did see something in the water, but not what she expected. The object was floating straight toward the coast and was gigantic. In the center of the object was a large orange colored object. That's when she realized exactly what she was looking at.

"Ja-ja-ja-ja-ja-ja-ja-ja" was all she could get out in fear of what was coming toward them.

"Peridot, what's wrong?" Steven asked as Peridot pointed towards the thing in the water. Steven finally saw it and he to had a reaction of fear.

"Ja-ja-ja-ja-ja-ja-ja-ja" they both said in Union hugging each other out of fear.

"ja-ja-ja-ja-ja-ja-ja-ja-ja- JASPER!" They finally said and both screamed.

Hearing the scream, the gems all immediately rushed from their hiding places and drew their weapons.

By this time, the object had reached the shoreline and everyone could get a good look at it. Sure enough, it was in fact Jasper, the Homworld gem who had caused them much trouble in the past, believed to be dead by the Gems.

"Why is she not attacking us?" Peridot nervously asked while hiding behind Garnet.

"It looks like she's frozen" Pearl answered.

Steven took a closer look at Jasper and he finally noticed the thick layer of ice surrounding her.

"But how tho?" Pearl asked, "it's the middle of July and the temperature is over 90 degrees!"

"Obviously the writer was too lazy to come up with something better," Garnet explained, "now then let's bubble her up" as she lunged one mighty punch into the ice shattering it.

Jasper fell out onto the sand. Slowly getting up she looked around confused until she saw the Gems. "Steven!" She angrily said trying to get up.

Before she could, Pearl immediately swooped in and stabbed Jasper in her exposed back with her spear. She let out a cringe of pain and then poofed into her Gem.

Garnet immediately bubbled the small orange stone and warpped it to the Temple. "That's that, now let's go home".

Peridot and Lapis returned to the barn with the warp gate, and Stenen got changed into his banana pajamas wishing the other three Gems goodnight, though he knew Pearl was probably going to sneak into his room to watch him sleep.

There was no sleep to be had however, as Steven couldn't stop thinking about Jasper, alone and trapped, he felt sympathy for her.

Then came the thought of Peridot and how he had redeemed her. And how he got Lapis to open up toward others, a little bit.

"If I can help Peridot and Lapis, then I can help Jasper." He thought to himself as he snuck out of bed and towards the room where the gems were held.
