Steven opened his eyes. Wasn't I just preparing to fight the Cluster? He thought. He felt something heavy on his back and noticed cord wrapped around him. It couldn't be, Steven though as he took the thing off his back. It was the Cookie Cat freezer. He put it back and trudged up to his house. As he opened the door a Centipeetle lunged for him.
He yelled out of surprise as he kept it's acidic, snapping jaws away from him. Pearl's spear went through it causing it to poof. "Sorry Steven, we´ll get these Centipeetles out of your room in a little bit." She said as she speared another Centipeetle. Steven saw one getting into the fridge. He pushed it away right to Garnet´s feet. Garnet cracked her knuckles, which were inside her gaunlets at the time, and poofed it.
"Uh, guys?" Amethyst called "These don't have any gems."
"That must mean there's a mother near by." Garnet said. A Centipeetle began to hiss as it tried to sneak up on her which caused Garnet to punch and poof it.
"We should probably find it before anyone gets hurt." Pearl said as she broke the neck of a gemless Centipeetle.
Steven looked inside the freezer to see it full of Cookie Cats and the glow braclet that he had to give to Connie in the back. "No way! Cookie Cats? I thought they stopped making them!" Steven said to the Gems when they were done fighting.
"Well, we heard that too, so-" Pearl started
"We went out and stole a bunch!" Amethyst cheered earning a growl from Pearl.
"I went back and paid for them." She mumbled.
"It was my idea." Garnet stated
"It was everyone's idea." Amethyst commented
"Not really."
"All that matters is that Steven is happy." Pearl said.
Steven was happy. Happy enough to sing one of his favorite commercial songs. "Oohhhhh! He's a frozen treat with an all new taste! 'Cause he came to this world from outer space!" Steven began to slow down as he remembered the lyrics. "A refugee of an interstellar war!" Steven looked over at the Gems and they looked at each other in recongnition.
Steven knew what they were thinking. He still continued. "But now he's at your local grocery store. Cookie cat; he's the pet for your tummy. Cookie cat; he's super duper yummy! Cookie cat; he left his family behind! Cookie cat!" The Gems applauded his performance of the commercial rap.
He smiled at them before he began to talk about how he was going to save the Cookie Cats. "Right after I eat this one." He commented and began to unwrap it. "I like to eat the ears first." He said and began to eat it. Aww, man. He hadn't eaten one in a long time. His gem began to glow bright.
"Dude your Gem!" Amethyst pointed out. Steven focused, remembering all the times he'd summoned it, and summoned his shield.
"Steven, it's a shield!" Pearl gasped. Rose's shield. She thought.
"Wha- Oh cool! I get a shield!" He said trying to act surprised. He put it on his arm.
"That's so cool!" Amethyst exclaimed.
"Yes." Garnet agreed.
Steven put back in his shield and suddenly a HUGE earthquake triggered. The Gems looked outside to see the Centipeetle mother. Steven knew how to handle her. "Steven! Get back inside!" Pearl cried as the Gems summoned their weapons. The Centipeetle knocked them away with her tail and began to spit acid. She cornered them behind a stone hand.
"We could really use Steven's sheild about now!" Amethyst exclaimed. Steven, knowing what was going on in the fight, was getting a bag of Chaaaaaps.
"Hey!" He called to the Centipeetle, causing it to stop spitting acid. "I've got something for you!"
"Steven no!" A worried Pearl called before the Centipeetle attacked with the mandibles on it's tail.
Steven ran to the Centipeetle as he opened the bag. The Centipeetle charged with it's jaws open, only to have Steven meet the upper jaw with his hand. "Wait." He said, causing the Centipeetle to rear up a bit. "Are you going to be a good girl?" He asked. The Centipeetle began to nuzzel Steven and that caused him to give a handful of chips to her. The Centipeetle purred and started to get smaller till it only had about 5 1-foot segments and it's mandibles were about 16 inches long.
I have this headcannon that Centipeetle would have the sounds of a cat, but as easily trained as a dog. So what do you think of this story? Please let me know in the reviews. The longer, the better!(unless you're spamming)
