'Chapter 1'


'The Crystal Gems were getting ready to practice their dancing to help Steven learn about fusion. Lapis Lazuli along with her gemling decided to join the group.

"A 5-6-7-8." Pearl said while snapping her fingers and music played as Steven and Amethyst attempted to do a fusion dance. Both of them however ended up sharing a laugh.

"Be serious." Pearl said in annoyance.

This kept going but each time Steven was unable to do any of the dances, some being too complex for the young half-Gem.

Both Lapis and Azurite gave each other a nod and took a few steps back. The dual-colored gemling gave his mother a bow while Lapis gave a curtsy. Azurite and Lapis twirled around as they walked closer to each other. The young Gem sprouted his water wings and got in eye level with Lapis as she held her little one's hands, taking a few steps forward and back while Azurite flapped his wings. Azurite then twirled his mother around having Lapis giggle before letting out a snort earning a giggle from her child.

"Aww, that's so cute!" Steven gushed with stars in his eyes.

Lapis sprouted her own wings and joined her gemling in the air as moved their feet around as they never left the ground but twirled around each other. Lapis then made a few water constructs, forming hoops around herself and Azurite as they swayed from side to side and clapped their hands with a wide grin on their faces.

The dance session ended when all the Gems jumped high in the air and posed followed by Steven who fell back down on the floor.

The group then decided to rest for a moment as they walked into the kitchen. "I don't get it. I thought I almost had it." Steven said, wiping his face with a towel.

"Nobody expects you to be able to perform fusion right away, Steven." Pearl said. Amethyst hopped up onto the counter, "Yeah! It's really hard, even for us." she said.

"Not for me." Garnet said, leaning against the cabinets.

"We'll keep working on the dance for now, and who knows, in a few years..." Pearl said then puts a finger on her chin. "I wonder though if Steven's body is capable of fusion. Fusion merges the physical forms of gems, but Steven is half-human. He's organic." she said.

"Organic?" Steven asks.

Azurite gives the boy a nod and pokes him on his belly, "Boop." the gemling teases and giggles.

"Hey!" Steven shouts with a mock glare and pokes the gemling on the nose having Azurite giggle louder followed by Steven.

Lapis and Garnet smiled at the scene, and as they thought about the sibling bond the gemling had formed with Steven along with Connie.

"Hey! It's Steven. Who knows what's gonna happen?" Amethyst said, laughing heartily.

"Well I think Steven can do it." Garnet tells the group. "So do I." Lapis replied.

"Me too!" Azurite said, giving the half-Gem a hug and having Steven smile warmly at him but then form a worried look on his face as he thought about if he would ever be able to fuse.

The Gems, especially Azurite stare in shock at the fused form of Steven and Connie. "Pretty cool, right?" the fusion asks the group, smiling confidently.

"He fused? With his friend Connie?" Pearl said, breaking out of her shock.

Amethyst suddenly chuckled and leaned over to the pale Gem and Lapis, "Guys, look at Garnet and Azurite." she told them. Both Pearl and Lapis turned their heads and stared at Garnet who her hands clasped together and a huge grin on her face while Azurite who although still had a look of shock was now blushing heavily as he stared at the fusion.

"This is unprecedented. A Gem fused with a human being?" Pearl said as she examines the new fusion. "It's impossible, or at the very least inappropriate." she said.

"Wow! You two look great together!" Amethyst said placing her hands on the fusion's abdomen. "How does it feel Steven? Connie?...Stevonnie?" she asked.

"It feels amazing!" Stevonnie tells her with a smile.

"Yes. Well, I'm glad you're enjoying yourselves, but you two should un-fuse this instant." Pearl tells the fusion uncomfortably.

"Wait. What? Pearl you were so worried Steven wouldn't be able to do this. Aren't you proud of him?" Stevonnie asks.

"Of...course I am. I...Garnet help me out here." Pearl says in worry towards the other fusion.

Garnet walks up to the new fusion, "Stevonnie. Listen to me." she said, holding Stevonnie's face in her hands. "You are not two people. And you are not one person. You... are an experience! Make sure you're a good experience. Now... Go!... Have!... Fun!" she tells Stevonnie, who grins back at her and runs out of the house.

"Garnet, are you sure about this?" Pearl asks in worry.

"Trust me, it'll be fine." Garnet replies when suddenly the group hears a loud thump and turn to see a certain gemling on the floor.

"Azurite!" Lapis cried out and races to her gemling and kneels over him. She widens her eyes when she sees a small stream of yellow running out of his nose.

Amethyst chuckles at the scene, "Hehe, he must've been blushing pretty hard." she said.'

The gemling groans as he flutters his eyes open, "Huh? What happened?" he tells himself sitting up and notices that he was in his room. He widens his eyes and gasps when he remembers what happened prior to him passing out.

The dual-colored gemling quickly sprouts his wings and towards the door, eager to see Stevonnie again. Azurite pokes his head out from his room and looks around for any sign of the other Gems but sees that they weren't in the house.

'They must be in the temple' he thought then flies out of the house and tries looking for Stevonnie.

The gemling flies around the beach for a while then flies towards the town and widens his eyes at seeing Stevonnie walking out of the Big Donut. The young Gem flies over to her as she sits on a bench.

Meanwhile the fusion sticks her hand inside the bag next to her, "Sweet, two donuts! One for me and one... for... uh, me." Stevonnie said uncertainly then looks to the side.

"Are you okay...? We can stop if you...No. No. Don't worry" both Steven and Connie speak to each other. The fusion then started munching on one of the donuts with an almost bored look on her face.

"Stevonnie!" she heard a familiar voice cry out.

"Huh?" Stevonnie turns her head around when she is suddenly tackled by Azurite. "Oh! Azurite! What are you doing here?" she asked. The gemling snuggles against her chest and stares up at her cutely with a small blush on his face.

"I just wanted to see you again." Azurite replied. "And...I didn't get to tell you how pretty you looked." he said, looking away shyly.

The fusion widened her eyes, "Oh..um, t-that's so sweet of you." Stevonnie said, smiling sheepishly at him and ruffling his hair. Suddenly Sour Cream walked up to them.

"Oh hey Sour...faced stranger." she said, having caught herself, not wanting the boy to know who she really was. "Wow, cool pants." she said.

Sour Cream looked away as he handed her a flyer, "Cool. Rave tonight." he said. Stevonnie stared down at the flyer while Azurite did the same with his face inches from her own. "Like, a dance?" Stevonnie asked.

"Yeah, at the warehouse. I'm DJ-ing and a bunch of my friends from the internet are gonna be there...There's gonna be free, uh glow-sticks." he said, a blush on his face. Stevonnie stood up giving Sour Cream a smile, "Yes I'll definitely be there! Yes, thanks!" she said, before running off. Both Sour Cream and Azurite stared at each other followed by the gemling giving the human a wide grin before following the fusion.

Stevonnie and Azuriter went up to the warehouse and peeked inside, their eyes settling on the the dancing partygoers. Although the fusion felt a little nervous she trekked into the dance floor. The fusion walked next to Jenny and Buck and began swayed her hips from side to side earning a blush from Azurite.

"Come on Azurite, how me what you got!" Stevonnie said with a smile.

"Oh..um, okay." Azurite replied, unsurely then started swaying his own hips trying to copy Stevonnie. The fusion placed a hand to her mouth to stop herself from giggling at the adorable sight then showed the gemling a few more moves, twirling around in the air and landing back down onto the floor.

Stevonnie opened her eyes and looked around seeing that all the teens were staring at her with wide eyes, surprised by her dancing "Heh, I though this was a dance party. Why isn't anyone else dancing?" she said, nervously. "This is what being cool at a cool dance is, right? This is how it's supposed to be... Why isn't it like it's supposed to be." she said as she began to hyperventilate.

Suddenly the humans around her shifted into looming shadows as shards of glass grew out of the floor and formed a disco ball as it engulfed her. Stevonnie continues to panic until Azurite phases through the disco ball and stares at her with a concered expression.

"Stevonnie?" Azurite asks in concern.

"A-Azurite?" Stevonnie said. The gemling began flying up to her until another figure, a human, phased through the disco ball and then eyed at the fusions body.

"Hey baby." the teenage human said with a smug look on his face.

"Huh?" the fusion said, wondering what he was doing.

The teen leaned closer to her face, "Get ready...It's Kevin time." the teen said, doing some dance moves. Stevonnie ran off and breathed heavily as she seemed to be having a panic attack. "I don't understand what's wrong. You have fun dancing but this dance isn't fun. You're supposed to like this. Why- don't we like this?" she said.

"I wish you were here." Stevonnie speaks to herself anxiously, crosses arms and slumps against the wall. "If we were together, it would be okay. But weare together, and it's not." her voice quivers.

"I'm alone..." she said, closing her eyes. Suddenly images and memories of a certain gemling filled her mind, memories of the three children laughing and playing. Memories of Azurite showing his love for both Steven and Connie.

"N-No! I'm not alone" Stevonnie said, slowly opening her eyes.

Suddenly Kevin puts his hand on the wall near her head, "Well duh, you're with me." he said. Stevonnie stared at the boy's smirking face, "Hey baby, why'd you leave me on the dance floor?" he asked.

"I don't want to dance anymore. At least not with you!" the fusion replied, pushing Kevin's hand away.

"What are you talking about?" Kevin asks, brushing his fingers through his bangs. "We're the best thing that's ever happened to this place. Come back out with me." he said.

Suddenly Azurite flies in between Stevonnie and Kevin and glares at the human teen, "Why should she. If she doesn't want to, then she doesn't! You can't force her!" he said.

"Hey, stay out of this freak." Kevin told the gemling giving him a small glare.

Azurite flinched away a little with a hurt look on his face while Stevonnie widened her eyes and glared at the teen, 'No one talks to my Azurite like that!' she thought. 'Wait...my Azurite?' she thought, a small blush on her cheeks. She shook it off her face before glaring back at the teen.

"You didn't answer him. Why should I?" she asked.

"Because we're angels walking among garbage people. We're perfect for each other." Kevin said in a patronizing tone.

"How can you say that!? You don't even know us!" Stevonnie said angrily. "And you're no angel. He is." she said pointing a finger towards Azurite. The gemling widened his eyes in surprise then let out a gasp when Stevonnie grabbed a hold of him and pulled him close to her.

"Mmmm..." Azurite mumbled in embarrassment.

"What is he like your little brother or something." Kevin asked, raising an eyebrow.

"He's more than that!" Stevonnie replied having Azurite blushed harder.

"Oh, whoa. I'm just looking for a dance. Don't get crazy! Weirdo..." Kevin said mumbling the last part under his breathe which was loud enough for Stevonnie to hear.

"No one is crazy and it's not weird!" Stevonnie said then motioned towards Azurite. "This sweetpea actually knows us, unlike you. He cares about us and...and we care about him." she said, staring fondly down at the gemling, who cheeks were yellow. Stevonnie pulls him up to her eye level and gives him a smile, "He's my Azurite." she said then gives him a kiss on his forehead.

As she does so, her gem began to glow until her whole body is engulfed in the light and Steven and Connie fall to the floor followed by Azurite. Everyone in the room gasped and stared in shock.

"It's two kids! I'm out!" Kevin said walking away

"We're back." Steven spoke as he stared at Connie. The young girl began to laugh nervously which turned hysterical followed by Steven as small tears streamed down his eyes. Sour Cream cheered as he threw glowsticks down to them. Steven and Connie jump around while they continued laughing. Their eyes shift towards Azurite before both placed a kiss on his cheeks, having the gemling blush heavily and fainted once more and had another stream of blood flowing out of his nose.

Steven and Connie then went back to laughing as they jumped around Azurite.'
