Tales from Steven's Universe
Steven stood outside on the beach waiting anxiously for Connie to come over. His cellphone began to ring and he picked it up on the first ring.
"Hey Connie, when are you coming over?"
"Oh Steven I'm sorry, my mom and dad are taking me to a tennis tournament today, I can't come over."
"Aw man really?"
"Afraid so, but I can come over on Friday!"
"Yeah alright, bye Connie." Steven said depressed.
"Bye Steven."
Steven closed his cellphone and stood up, and began walking back up to his house saddened by the recent news. Suddenly a burst of light flushed out of Steven's windows.
Steven's face lit up excitedly, "Gems are back!"
Steven charged up the stairs to his house and slammed the door open, "Hey guys!"
Garnet was walking into her room of the temple carrying some kind of Gem artifact, she leaned back giving Steven a somewhat cold hello like usual.
Pearl was carry a gem in a bubble, "Hi Steven."
Amethyst wasn't carrying anything but quickly snatched the bubbled gem out of Pearl's hands. "Hey Steven, check out what we found." Amethyst held the bright bronze colored gem in front of Steven, Pearl reached out taking the gem back from Amethyst and re bubbled it.
"Amethyst! You can't just take these gems out of their bubbles or they might reform." Pearl scolded.
Amethyst rolled her eyes at pearl, "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, I got it Pearl."
Steven was deep in thought trying to think of what he could do to pass the time today. "Oh I can play my Game Pad! Oh wait that's in Amethyst's room."
"Hey Amethyst, I think I left my Game Pad in your room yesterday can I get it?"
Pearl interrupted before Amethyst could answer, "Oh no, we have another mission we need to get done. We don't have time."
Steven spoke up sadly, "Aww come on it will only take a second!"
Amethyst tried to help Steven, "Yeah Pearl let me and Steven go get it."
"No way we need to leave now!"
Amethyst groaned heavily, and stepped onto the warp pad facing the door.
Pearl looked at her curiously, "Um Amethyst, wrong way."
"Oh sorry Pearl." Amethyst turned around and gave Steven a wink right as they warped out. Steven noticed Amethyst's door open in a purple light. "She must have opened it for me!" Steven ran inside her room and began to look for his Game Pad. "Aw come on where is it…," Steven's thought was cut off as he accidently kicked his Game Pad into a small puddle. Steven slammed his head into the pool of water to retrieve it and ended up in Garnet's room.
Garnet was facing the other way doing something with the artifacts she had brought back. Steven saw his Game pad hanging from some sort of branch just below him, he reached down and swiped it up before Garnet could notice. Steven was about to pull the upper half of his body back into Amethyst's room, when he saw a bubbled gem, the Centipeetle. Steven looked at the bubble, it was in arms reach and Garnet was still looking the other way. Steven quickly reached out grabbed the bubble and pulled himself back into Amethyst's room in one swift motion.
Garnet glanced back toward the area Steven was in, "Give it your all."
