Steven paced back and forth, wondering whether he should call his best friend, Connie. It was difficult because she was not only his closest friend, but his crush.
Today had been a particularly hard one. He kept hesitating every time he place his hand down on the phone.
"It's usually so easy. I mean, I like her but this time it's different." He pondered.
It was a weird different, he didn't know what he was feeling. And no one seemed to notice until a certain purple gem came out of her room.
"Hey Steman! How's it hanging?" The purple girl shouted
"Hey Amethyst." The young gem said quietly.
Amethyst had seen the phone in his hands. And immediately got interested in who he was going to call.
"Who're you callin?" Amethyst asked with great enthusiasm. Steven stopped pacing, and started to get nervous.
"Um…uh…oh! I'm calling onion!" "Yeah, we're great friend's onion and I!" Steven said a little too suddenly"
Amethyst, of course wasn't buying it. She then knew exactly what was going on.
"Ooooh are you gonna call Cooonniee?" She said teasingly to the half gem.
"I..Um…maybe"? Steven said, giving up. Amethyst was not going to stop until she had answers.
"I thought it was easy to call her?" "Why are you being all weird?" She said, wondering.
Steven sighed. He wished he knew.
"I know why". Amethyst and Steven looked behind them, seeing the mysterious fusion gem standing on the warp pad. She had just come back from a mission.
"Oh, hey Garnet" Amethyst said slumping on the couch. Steven was curious as to what Garnet knew.
The fusion gem stepped forward toward Steven, bent down to eye level and said.
"Love".
Steven was startled. "Love? I know I like her, but I didn't think it'd be as strong as this." He thought.
"Oooooh, of course. Garnet of all people would know that" Amethyst said as she fell onto the couch, face down.
Steven turn towards Garnet. Well, yeah. She IS the fusion gem of Ruby and Sapphire. They're the very definition of love. He thought to himself.
Steven looked down at his phone to look at Connie's picture. "Of course I love her. She's pretty, smart, stunning, has a beautiful smile, and not to mention she's great with a sword." Steven had thought, looking starry-eyed into oblivion.
Amethyst lifted her head to see Steven, rolling her eyes as she said "There he goes again".
The adolescent shook his head, coming back to reality. "So, what should I do? Do I tell her how I feel?"
Garnet nodded. "That would be the best option, if you feel you're ready to do so".
Amethyst got up from the couch and made her way to the fridge. "So, how's Steven going to tell Miss Connie that he loooooves her?"
Steven thought about it for a bit. There were many ways, but he wanted to do something special for his beautiful friend.
"How about a date?" He suggested.
Garnet and Amethyst exchanged glances. They wanted to help Steven, but they didn't know the first thing about dates. Well, at least Amethyst didn't. Garnet knew somewhat about them. They saw Greg take Rose Quartz on dates, but they never really understood the romantic relations of human beings. But never the less, they decided to help.
Garnet looked at Steven with a slight smile. "If that's what you think you should do, then go for it. We'll help you as best we can".
Amethyst nodded in agreement. "Yeah, we gems don't know much about this sort of stuff. But we'll do whatever we can to make our Steven happy!"
Steven ran up to Garnet and hugged her, giving her a huge smile. "Thanks you guys!
Amethyst turned to Steven and gave him a thumbs-up. "No problem Stevie".
Steven let go of Garnet, and started pacing again.
"Okay, first things first. where to have the date…."
