A Friendly Kiss
Chapter 2
Thursday 11:37 p.m.
Pearl and Amethyst stepped out of their rooms and Garnet arrived through the warp pad. Pearl climbed up to Steven's bedroom to wake the sleeping boy.
"Steven, we're going on a mission in a lava cave deep under ground to find a corrupted gem that's been causing all these earthquakes lately, so don't worry if we're not back tomorrow morning."
Steven's eyes lit up and he shot out of his bed.
"Lava! Earthquakes! Pleeease let me come! It's gonna be so awesome!"
At this point, Steven was clinging on to Pearl's torso and looking up at her with starry, puppy eyes.
"Sorry Steven, we need someone to guard the house." Garnet said from the other side of the room.
"You know, the creature might follow us on to land and it would be a real pain if it blew up Beach city!" Amethyst added.
"You'd better get to sleep if you want to have energy for guarding the house and playing with your little friend." Garnet concluded.
"Yes sir!"
Steven comically slammed his body on to the mattress and began snoring. Pearl sighed and landed a kiss on his forehead and met up with the others on the warp pad to travel to their mission.
"There's a pretty high chance of the creature landing on the shore. Do you think Steven can manage helping us in a battle this dangerous?" Pearl muttered to Garnet.
"Steven needs experience in fighting. He'll learn a lot if he can practice in a safe place with us."
Garnet replied.
"Anyway, Steven will get to fight with his girlfriend! How cool will that be!" Amethyst chuckled.
"I guess there isn't much to worry about..." Pearl said, but with anxiousness in her voice.
" We need to trust Steven. He can tolerate this. He will never know how to control his gem powers without trying. Also, Amethyst, Connie is not Steven's girlfriend...yet. " Garnet said with a smile.
Amethyst burst out in laughter and they warped out.
This chapter is kinda short I know and so will chapter 3 be but chapter 4 is nice and long so hold on!
