"Steven." Says a small green gem, sitting on the beach with her significant other. The moon is high, and the stars are shimmering brightly. The contrasting shades of the night sky reflect onto the sand and building behind the duo.

"Yes, Peridot?" Asks Steven, a chubby boy in a pink t-shirt with a star, and denim capri. He looks to her, a curious look on his face. She shuffles closer to him, and puts her small hand on his. He finds himself blushing slightly, staring at her green eyes in wonder. She looks at him with a reluctant blush on her own face.

"Steven, you've fused with Connie. You've fused with Amethyst..." She starts, having trouble finding her voice and courage. Steven continues to look at her.

"Yeah?"

"Forget it. Do you have your cellular device with you?" She gives up after 10 seconds of nothing coming to mind to put it lightly. Steven nods, a smile returning to his face.

"Yep! Did you need something?" He asks, taking out his phone. Peridot takes it without a word, and turns on some relaxing piano music from his music collection. She sticks the phone into the sand, and stands, holding a hand out to Steven.

"Oh! Alright, a dance!" He takes her hand and stands. She begins to sway back and forth to the notes, taking his other hand in her's. Steven joins her after a moment, a pleasant smile on his face. The heat between the two rises, and Peridot feels her blush growing ever more intense as time passes, and the stars twinkle above them. She moves closer to Steven, her head to his chest as they continue to dance to the notes and melody of the piano. Peridot feels something she'd only felt when the two were alone together, a feeling of safety, calm and an unfamiliar feeling in her chest, swelling to escape her body and very gem as time went on. The small gem decides she'll ask the question about the emotion finally speaks.

"Steven. I trust you." She says, looking up into his brown eyes that shimmer in the moonlight. He smiles at her, that expression holding so much emotion and care for the smaller gem.

I have to do this right! She thinks to herself, staring into his eyes.

"I'm so confused right now though... I need somebody to help me through all of this." She finishes, looking at him pleadingly. He just smiles, and chuckles. That beautiful ring in his voice sends chills down her spine, and he responds.

"Guess that makes two of us.. I suppose we can just figure it out together, right Peridot?"

"Right."

With a bright flash, the two join bodies, their gems orbiting one another as a fusion forms. A mix of emotions stir and grow as the two combine. Two separate bodies, minds, and emotions become one. They feel a sense of love and peace as their senses form into one, stable connection.

"Holy cow!" Says a voice, completely and entirely new.

"We fused, Peridot! This is amazing!" Says the voice once again. The fusion has two arms, two legs and a relatively humanoid face with an afro atop their head. They laugh and flop onto their back, staring up at the waxing gibbous moon with stars twinkling around it. The song continues to play as they watch the night sky with three, wide, wonder-filled eyes. The instrumental reaches a certain point, and the fusion sings along with their slightly nasaled voice.

"Everything's alright..."
