With two single words, Ivory had rendered the whole house silent. Her large eyes widened, "Did I say something wrong?" She asked, panic creeping into her voice as she took in the stares pointed at her. Amethyst and Pearl had paused mid argument to stare slack jawed at the pale gem. Pearl was the first to move, she straightened herself out from her position, "R-R-Rose," She stuttered. As the skinny gem struggled to form words, Garnet spoke up. "Rose is gone; she gave up her physical form for Steven." The stoic gem stared right on ahead at the little sleeping bundle atop his bed. "Oh…" Ivory whispered, she sniffed once and brought a hand up to her eye. Pearl relaxed her tense stance; Ivory raised her head and said "At least we have our memories of her." The gems nodded, Ivory sighed and slumped against the kitchen counter.
Steven yawned as the sunlight streamed through his window. He kicked off the covers to the sounds of giggling. He peered down into the rest of the house. The new gem was leaned against the kitchen counter, Amethyst perched on it next to her, Pearl stood next to her and Garnet stood nearby. Ivory was currently telling a story, her arms spread out as she made hand movements to go with her tale. "And remember that time when…" Her silky voice was drowned out by Pearl's giggling and Amethyst's blatant laughter. Steven hopped down the stairs, still in his pajamas. "Hey…uh" Ivory started, her hands cycling as she tried to search for boy's name. "Good morning, Steven." Pearl greeted. "Hi guys!" Steven replied, somehow chipper in the morning. He opened the fridge and pulled out his breakfast. "What were you guys talking about?" He asked curiously as he lay his breakfast on a plate. "Oh, you know old stuff." Amethyst said, brushing it off as she reached to steal some of Steven's breakfast. Pearl slapped her hand away as she expanded on the topic "Ivory was just reminding us of the last time she visited, with her friend." "Who's you friend?" Steven asked, mouth full. "Her name was Jade." Ivory said. "Did she come with you?" Steven asked. "No," Ivory sighed. "I haven't communicated with her in a long time." She lay her head on her hand as she remembered her friend. "Cheer up," Amethyst said, shoving Ivory's shoulder. "We still have the memories." The purple gem mocked in a horrible imitation of what the pale gem had said the night before. Ivory shoved Amethyst and the heavy sad feeling was gone. "Hey Ivory." Steven said, putting his empty dishes away. "Huh?" The pale gem asked, facing the small boy. "What's your weapon? Pearl has her spear, Amethyst has her whip and Garnet has her gauntlet things." Ivory chuckled and put her hand behind her head sheepishly "Oh yeah, it's an axe." She replied. "Woah! Cool!" Steven exclaimed. He then started heading towards the door. "Where are you going?" Ivory asked, tilting her head. "To the town." Steven answered, jerking a thumb in the direction of Beach City. Ivory shrugged and turned back to the gems. "Remember the time when…" She trailed off and the giggles erupted from most of the gems once more.
UGH! It's so short! Well, I'm going to make a really long author's note, so skip it if you want to.
This is my first time writing Steven Universe fanfiction, so excuse me if I am not perfect. My plan for this is to kind of, I don't know, insert Ivory into the episodes. I probably will skip the episodes where there is no chance of inserting my OC into, so forgive me if I skip some episodes. I'm still working out the kinks in creating a Steven Universe OC, so I'll probably be putting in some little headcanons in here and there. I might actually get to finish this because the plot is basically all laid out by Rebecca Sugar. Another thing, I may make up my own chapters that are not episodes, but are crucial to the story, so you get to bear with me through all of this. I do not have a writing schedule, so don't get mad at me for posting every day for a week and then posting something a month later. I write when I don't have writer's block, when I have the time, or when I have nothing to read and my sister steals my tablet. I do believe I am a pretty good writer, and constructive criticism is always accepted. Just don't insult me or flame me. Well, that's it, you probably skipped this but, Good day.
