Ch.1: Home coming

The ocean was calm and peaceful today as the sun's ray shine down. In fact today was a great day to just sit back and soak in the the beauty. In fact, someone was already doing so, in the middle of his man-made raft.

"Aaaaah this is the life." said the being, with his arms behind his head, as he rested. He was a very unsual man. He seem like in his mid-twenties, but was far old then that, and was average height and weight. He wore a white wife-beater shirt and blue jeans. He wore no shoes and on top of his head was a dark green beanie on his head. His blonde hair covered his eyes but you could tell there was something gleaming in his eyes, well his left one honestly. However, what made him most unusaul was his skin. It was black as night, but it also seem gleaming instead of dull.

After gave a loud yell as he stretched and sat up. "Wonder where Im heading this time?" As he looked around he could see nothing but water everywhere, until something caught his eye far in the distance. It was a large familar statue of a woman carved in the side of a hill looking out towards him. He gave a shark-like grin stood up. "Ah looks like im coming home...Rosie."

"STEVEN! BE CAREFUL!" shouted Pearl, as she watched the chubby kid run into the water.

Since today was such a slow day, and there was no threat or missions to go on to, the Crystal Gems decided to just relax near their home and have a beach day. Garnet was sitting on a beach chair, as Pearl sat on one of their towel, while Steven and Amethyst ran into the water to play.

"Aw relax Pearl." said Steven before he put his head underwater and came back up.

"Yeah you dont have to get your pants in a bunch, ya know." replied Amethyst as she laughed at her own joke, and began to splash Steven.

Fuming, Pearl muttered something under her breath before taking a deep one and letting the air out. "Im just making sure he doesnt hurt himself thats all."

"Its ok Pearl, Ill stay near the shore to be safe." shouted Steven as he began to splash Amethyst back, causing the two smallest gems to laugh.

With a sigh Pearl leaned back and closed her eyes. "Awww...what a nice day to be out. This was such as great idea."

"Yes." muttered Garnet, in her usual tone, though she was happy they had time to relax. They seem so busy these past few days they didnt have time. Garnet smiled under her glasses as she looked at Steven, who was now being chase by a purple shark Amethyst. Sometimes she forgot how much he was like Rose. He got some of Greg's apperences but there was still some of her former leader's personality inside there. She remember when they were all sad when they lost her, but Steven made up for that void, and she promise to protect Rose's little boy until he got what being a crystal gem was all about.

She was almost lost in her train of thought if it was not something out in the distance that caught her eye. And it was getting closer. Unknown to the others she used her third eye to see what was coming in from the ocean when she saw him.

"...no..." she muttered. Not him, anyone but him. She knew he would of come back one day, but not now. Not that Rose was gone and Steven was-STEVEN! He was unsure how he was going to handle the new crystal gem.

"Pearl! Amethyst! Steven! In the house! Now!" shouted Garnet getting up from her chair and walking toward the water.

"Garnet, whats going on? What is it?" asked Pearl, as all three looked at their leader.

"Just go!" shouted the dark red gem, whose voice became more serious. Without missing another beat the three all ran back inside the house, leaving everything and Garnet outside.

"Wha-what do you think it is?" asked Steven, as the three looked outside from the window.

"Maybe its a gem-eating squid!" said Amethyst, semi-joking without turning her head from the window.

"Amethyst! Dont say stuff like that!" shouted Pearl.

"I-If there was a gem-eating squid, Garnet could stop it right?" asked Steven

"Of course, Steven." replied Pearl, as she finally spot something coming toward the beach and Garnet. It was moving slowly but still graduately making its way to shore.

"Is that a raft?" asked Amethyst.

"I think it is? But why would-" Pearl stopped speaking as she realized there was a peson who was on the raft. Her eyes widen in shock. "No, it can't be!"

"What can't be?" asked Amethyst, as she pushed herself into the window more to get a better view. Suddenly, her mouth widen into a big smile. "No way! He's back!"

"Who's back?" asked Steven, unsure who the figure was.

As the man finally reached solid ground, he planted his feet into the wet sand. "Aaaaah, still feels good between my toes." he said with a smile.

"What are you doing here?" said a stern voice.

"Uh?" said the man, looking around to see who the voice, strange but familiar to him, was coming from. He didnt have to look long until he saw the last person he ever wanted to see. He lifted he hair to get a better view showing his eyes. His right one was normal but his left was a stone. An onyx gemstone to be exact, in the shape of a hexagon. "Garnet?"

"Hello...Onyx."

So this is my first story on here so I just hoping people will like it. The show Steven Universe seems like a good show, and i got this idea stuck in my head for a while. While only Onyx belongs to me, the rest belongs to Rebecca Sugar. Hopefully if some people like it ill continue.
