Disclaimer: The following is a fanfiction, so I don't own any rights other than OCs and a few concepts. If you want to keep supporting that crap heap that is Steven Universe, that's your business. Sugar owns it and still can't write right to save herself. Don't support the official release, go read Connie and the Crystal Gems or anyone who takes this show to put some effort in it.
Saint's End. The graveyard planet of the Multiverse, when dreams goes to die, and people are buried to be remembered or damned to be forgotten. In this case, a young oracle, Mirai Yoshi, sought something buried as he walked the line of graves having left his girlfriend, Kirasha, back at the gate. The familiar grave he saw last time was still heavily defaced and pelted with trash, bits of feces from various species, and urine.
Here Lies Vic Mignogna and His Career
"Damn it, I had to retcon this entire bit. I don't blame you, but the fact that you might have been done dirty by Funimation and some of the accusations are proving to be false. I don't know what to believe or who. All I can do is stay out of it…" Mirai ranted before moving on.
He refused to even deface or spit up that grave saving it until he had complete answers. However, he found it what he had sought.
Here Lies Steven Universe and what little dignity the show has left
Using ki, he formed a shovel made of energy and started digging. Grave robbing was a low thing to do, but not liked he respected the lot of them. In deep enough, he tossed aside the bones and found a chest labeled "Fan Complaints".
"So, they didn't even read any of it?" Mirai said pocketing it before leaving.
With that the chest, he left the graveyard with his lady who asked what the plan for the box was.
"Kira-chan, I'm going to make me a Multiverse of the Stars." Mirai said cryptically.
(A/N: I bet you're wondering what was with that scene, this is a meta reference. I did a short highlighting a few issues with RWBY in the RWBYverse is Infinite. Mirai had passed by Vic's grave, but didn't have an opinion on him preferring to stay neutral which was my stance back then. Later on, after Monica Rial and more came out, I was convinced to side with #kickvic, at first. However, more information has come out, and I decided to slide back into being neutral. But enough of that, you're here for the collection of Steven Universe shorts. Same rules that the Loud House and RWBY collections has. So, let's get started.)

-(Fusion Cuisine)-
Connie had been enjoyed watching Under the Knife with Steven when her mother called wanting to check up and then ask to talk to Steven's mother. The two panicked and had come down off his bed down to the living room where Garnet was reading a newspaper.
"Garnet, quick—you have to pretend to be my mom to Connie's mom." Steven said panicking.
Garnet put the paper down and decided to consult her future vision first. Cringing at the possible future of her or Pearl handling, she got Amethyst to do it. This went…rather different.
"You're looking for Steven's mom, I can't help you there. She sadly passed away." Amethyst said delicately.
When she asked about who's looking after him, Amethyst nervously stated that she was his older sister and that Steven had…extended family alongside his father. Before Connie's mother could get another word in, Pearl entered the room and Amethyst saw a solution to get out an awkward conversation.
"While I'd love to stay and chat, I really need to go do something important!" Amethyst screamed.
"And what exactly is that?" Pearl asked. "Since when you do anything other than laze around and stuff your face?"
"I have take Pearl to get some laxatives." Amethyst said with a teasing grin. "Poor girl has it backed up."
Pearl could only stammer as Amethyst hung up.
"Amethyst!" Pearl screamed as Amethyst shamelessly left the room.
"Well, that went better than I hoped." Garnet thought. "Now I should see about dinner. At least, this will leave me time to prepare."
Steven and Connie were flabbergasted at the scene, and come the next day, Connie would inform Steven that her parents wanted a meet up. Pearl was even a gift from the Maheswarans, a big box of laxatives to help. Pearl was not amused.
-(Rose's Room)-
Steven walked out of "his" room completely traumatized with a mix of emotions. All he wanted to know…was more about his mother. He got his wish, and he was regretting it all the time. He did need to see that his mother was really Pink Diamond, but he didn't need to see her making the zoo, backstabbing Bismuth, or her long line of human lovers. To see his guardians and be back in the real world, he had this haunted look on this face.
"Steven?" Pearl asked. "Are you okay?"
"Pearl, I no longer bound you keep the secret concerning Pink Diamond's shattering. Tell them the truth…" Steven said flatly before leaving to find Lion.
He had a gem to free and apologize to.
-(Cheeseburger Backpack)-
Steven had made sure to pack the statue first before packing everyone else which lead to the ultimate preservation of the tower. With him proving his worth, the Gems had decided it was time to start training Steven proper. Garnet worked on his hand to hand, Amethyst taught him a few wrestling moves, and Pearl worked on his swordsmanship. Steven wanted nothing more than to step up to the plate, and, when danger would come, he could be ready.
(A/N: Yes, this is happening. With me writing a paper about this crapsack show for a class, and my maddening flustering for this show, this was bound to happen. If you're wondering about the pre-scene, it's a reference to a RWBY skit where Mirai visited Monty's grave to pay respects. So, because I want to continue to stick it to Sugar, this was born. I just had to bring up these episodes which suffered from "Stupid for the sake of plot" (except Rose's Room).)
