*Sorry about the wait, family has been coming in for thanksgiving...
Well here's chapter 2! I'll try to make my chapters longer!1 :)
Oh and I do not own Steven Universe, or it's characters.*
At the Sea Spire...
"I'm sensing structural instability." Garnet was looking at the spire when Steven replied, "Yea, that's never good." "STEVEN!" Pearl yelled as she ran after the oblivious boy, she arrived just in time, to keep him from falling. "Alright, we're taking Steven back!" Amethyst was about to argue with the older girl when Steven's Mr. Queasy stated talking. The rotund boy hopped out of Pearl's arms and exclaimed, "Oh! Mr. Queasy!" As he was messing with his, odd doll, Pearl was regretting her choice of letting him come. She then scolded him and asked if he would be serious, but she really didn't have the heart to send him home, so he just tagged along. Just as they were coming to the entrance, Garnet stopped them. "What's the hold up?" asked Amethyst, "We can clear this easily." Garnet replied, "No, the vortex that surrounds the bottom, creates a force that will pull us down." To make her point, she pick up a fairly heavy rock and threw it, of course it was pulled down. Pearl then started thinking, 'How are going to cross this, only REAL reason I came was so that the last place Rose and I hung out, will still stand. God do I miss her!' She was soon brought out of her thoughts by the yelling of the other Gems, at first she was confused then she saw Steven jump. "Oh no, He's getting pulled down!" Amethyst yelled, she was about to jump and get Steven when he ran up the wall and landed in the doorway. Amethyst decided that was a good idea, she summoned her weapon and picked up Garnet and Pearl. They swung across, when they landed, Pearl gave a sigh of relief, then spoke, "Never do that again!" The Gems walked past Steven and she spoke once more, "But, that was a clever idea."
As they were walking, Pearl was constantly catching herself staring at Garnet, 'I'm feeling different again. But why?' Once again she was lost in her thoughts, when Amethyst yelled, "Uh, guys we got a problem." They ran up the stairs and saw the infestation. Pearl then decide to use her brain, after her long plan, she was soon interrupted by Steven, "BEAGLE SANDWICH!" The crystal shrimp moved out of the way so they could eat. The Gems passed through with ease, there was nothing else, well except when the wall fell.
At the top of the Spire...
When they got to the top, Pearl was happy, not only was her favorite place saved, but she could finally go home after this. Pearl gasped, "The Moon Goddess Pedestal, it's not to late to save this piece of history!" Garnet and Amethyst looked at Steven, he got on his knees and opened his bag, after a few minutes of searching Amethyst asked, "What's the hold up?" Steven turned pink and replied, "I don't have it." The Gems gasped, and Pearl couldn't take it anymore, "What!? I trusted you and you let me down! This was my favorite place in the whole galaxy! And you ruined being ignorant!" She then dropped to her knees and cried. Garnet came and sat down next to her, held Pearl in her arms and whispered, "It's okay Pearl, it was an accident. He didn't. and doesn't know why this hurts you so much. I do, and I know your pain." After those words, Pearl hugged Garnet back.
'What the hell just happened?!' Amethyst thought, this was the first she had EVER seen Garnet hug anyone. They both stood up, looking into each others eyes, although Steven had no clue what was going on, and was still looking through his bag, Amethyst saw a zing, instantly. Steven got up and exclaimed, "I have an idea!" He pulled out Mr. Queasy, Pearl and Amethyst looked at each other, then Garnet. Steven rushed up to the pedestal, and put his doll on top.
When the settled in place, the doll arose. At first sight, it looked as though it would work, then a huge shake went through the spire. Garnet told everyone to keep their balance but soon lost her own. It started cracking and braking apart, the sunk under water. When all the Gems were above water, Steven was upset, Pearl caught this first, "Steven, I'm sorry." before he could forgive her she kept going, "On the bright side, you really well under pressure." She smiled and he cheered up and said his dad's favorite saying, "If every pork chop were perfect, we wouldn't have hot dogs!" They all laughed, even Garnet. To their advantage, Steven's raft he wasted floated up too, to their disadvantage, it was a 3 hour paddle home.
On the way home, all Garnet could think about was how she felt when she was looking into Pearl's eyes...
*Hope you liked it! I kinda wanted to add something corny, yet sweet
when Pearl and Garnet have their connection.
Anyways, thanks for reading, your reviews inspired me to
