As Connie walked along the coastline to Stevens house she sighed a little thinking of how little time she has before she vacations back over to her Grandparents nation. 'I really wish Steven was able to go with me.' huffing as she knocked on the door she put up a brave face as Steven came to the door. "HIYA CONNIE! Come on in i have the snacks ready!" The boy said cheerfully as he ran upstairs to get a blanket and a few things. Steven was always cheerful but yet he hated the idea of feeling useless to anyone. He has a lot of things he's not fond of but tells her everything as she tells him everything..Except for the true feelings of one another. Connie always felt herself comfortable with the idea Steven Hugging or Holding her hand she never pulled back but yet she enjoyed every minute of her company with him. Even late night when either of them couldn't sleep they'd text for hours on end talking about different things as books,Gem stuff and other interesting things. "Hey Steven i gotta tell you something before we watch Under the knife okay?"Walking upstairs over to his tv she grabbed his blanket nuzzling herself into it as she glanced over to Steven. " Yeah what is it Connie you know you can tell me anything!" he said proudly as he laughed holding her hand as he stared starry-eyed at her. "...um... My Parents Decided to take a trip back to see my family.. we'll be there for a whole month." Hanging her head low she watched as his facial expression turn sad. "For a whole month...? I NEVER SEEN YOU AWAY FOR THIS LONG CONNIE!" As Steven pulled her in his arms he hugged her tightly whining slightly as he were to miss his amazing sparring buddy. Giggling at his response she held his hands giddy about the idea of him being a worrywort. "I wont be away for that long Steven! Though my Mom and Dad are planning to leave around i guess the 28th..." Steven sitting there staring at connie he leaned over taking one of his donuts and tried not to eat too much with his mouth full. "We can still Text and Stuff right?!" his eyes starry eyed and his hopes starstruck with the idea of pictures and texts like usual. "Yeah i'll be able to Text but i'm not gonna be able to call you though" As connie reached for a remote she noticed Lion staring at her intently his eyes focused more then usual. "Lion...?" not soon after she called after him she felt him move somewhat closer to her laying on the floor closing his eyes doing his own thing as usual. " I guess that means Lion's really gonna miss you too... oh Connie i wanna ask you a question... y'know about your background..like how far is the homeland from beach city?" As Connie's smile lit up onto her face she smiled along the way with her culture,family and traditions. "Also when we get to see the whole family together my Mom and I we're gonna wear our Saris..i cant wait to see my family again though i dont always understand what they are saying.."Stopping herself she watched as Steven tilted his head. "It's okay Connie." Steven said giving her a helping boost of confidence. " Oh Steven.. hey what time is it...?" Connie asked as she started to panic about the show being on soon. "I got it two more Minutes left Connie! I have the snacks,soda,water... and were good!" Sighing in relief she pat Lions head and looked towards the Tv as the program begun.
