Just to let everyone know. This story is a crossover of not only Steven Universe and Gravity Falls, but also Over the Garden Wall. I actually thought of this story a while ago. I liked these three shows and liked how these shows all have their inner demons in some way. I wanted to exploit this, but at the same time I like stories that have happy endings and learning experiences. I probably told to much though ^^ On to the story! Please leave comments!


"Now don't go too far up the path and stay on the path and keep a eye on Lion, Steven! Connie!" called Pearl walking with the other Crystal Gems and Greg.

They were exploring a new camping ground that was recomened by one of Gregs customers and since Greg never been camping before he wanted to try it. Of course he also thought after the whole alien invasion they needed a vacation. Though, he thought he needed this probably as much as Steven and thankfully Connie's parents let her come for the day. He had to make sure though to be back to the camp ground before dark.

"I know! We will Pearl!" said Steven running ahead of the hiking trail with Connie and Lion following close behind them. They both had their cell phones along in their backpacks. So they both would be able to contact them if they go lost or too far ahead.

"They will be ok right?" asked Pearl looking back at Greg and the rest as they walked.

"Don't worry they will be fine, this is their first camping trip! Well it is mine too, but they are just exploring," said Greg.

"They also have their cell phones," said Garnet. "and Lion."

"Yeah! Just relax Pearl!" said Amethyst as she jumped onto some boulders that were next to the path and jumped from boulder to boulder.

Mean while Steven, Connie and Lion were up ahead on the path. "Is this your first time camping?" asked Steven

"Yes, my parents aren't really into camping, but I always wanted to try it," said Connie with a smile. "I even read up on some camping books and guides before coming. So I am prepared for anything!"

"So do you know what to do if a bear attacks?" asked Steven

"Yup," said Connie

"A mountain lion?"

"Yes"

"A wolf?"

These questions continued until they came across a fork in the path. "Hmm…." said Steven looking at the sign that was in the middle of the fork. "We are suppose to stay on trail 1 right?"

"I thought we were to stick to trail 5…" said Connie as she petted Lion as he came up next to her.

"May be we should wait here for- Lion!" said Steven as Lion suddenly bolted down one of the paths. He quickly went after lion.

"Steven wait! We should stay here!" said Connie as she followed Steven. Lion kept running down the path and Steven and Connie were trying to keep up with him. The path getting narrower and have a sharper slope to one side.

"Why did he just bolt like that?!" asked Connie confused and concerned.

"I don't know, may be he sensed something?" said Steven he then had a though. "May be he sensed Peridot?!"

"Then shouldn't we go back and tell the Gems?" asked Connie. They then both stop as the path came to a sharp slope one side and a canyon wall on the other. Lion had seemed to dissapear and fog was starting to set in. "But we don't know if it is Peridot…" he was then quiet. He wanted to find out where Peridot was, but at the same time he didn't want to endanger Connie. They had Lion, or should he said did have Lion. "I think… we should go a little bit further, but if we don't find any signs of Lion or even Peridot we should go back."

Connie nodded. "Alright, but I think we should go single file on this part of the path."

"Right, it looks to skinny for the both of us, I will first," said Steven slowly walking ahead. He tried to focus on looking for signs of either Lion or Peridot, but the fog was getting thick now.

"I really think we should go back," said Connie. "The fog is getting too thick. I can barely even see you."

"Yeah may be we should, I can even barely see the path," said Steven.

They both then turned around and slowly made their way back. Then suddenly the path underneath Steven crumbled. "Steven!" shouted Connie as she quickly turned and grabbed his hand.

"Thanks," said Steven his heart racing.

"No-" said Connie as pulling him up, but then the ground under her crumbled too. Screams filled the air as they began to fall down the steep hill. Connie still holding Steven's hand and trying to reach out to something with the other hand. Fear was gripping her as she couldn't find anything to grab to stop them from going down the hill. Until she grasped onto something hairy and soft.

"LIon!" said Steven as Lion was trying to keep his balance digging his claws into the ground.

Connie sighed in relief as she saw Lion. He must of heard their screams and came back. She now thought everything was going to be ok. Well until Lions mane started glowing.

All eyes were wide. "How could that be possible?!" thought Steven it was the same glow that allowed him to go inside of Lions mane. The same glow that allowed him to get stuff out. They then started to slip down the slope again, as something came out of Lions mane. They were going down the slope fast now and couldn't really reconigize what came out. Then they hit something, they didn't know what, but it caused him to split apart, unlocking hands.

"Steven!" called Connie

"Connie!" called Steven as they both rolled down the hill to the forest bellow.
