Steven stared at the three crystal gems, each of them had glares and their arms crossed over their chests. "Um...well..." Steven started and with that, he bolted back out of the door, shouting a bunch of incoherent things. "Oh! 'Kay!" He had ran into a rock he thought, but he was actually Garnet who stood there, helping Steven back up. "Steven I'm not mad at you, you're doing what your heart wants to do, but please be careful okay? Pearl and Amethyst...that's a different story." Garnet finished speaking, and Steven smiled up at Garnet brightly, to Steven, Garnet was most like a mother to him. "Garnet! Did you catch him! Oh goodness!" Pearl and Amethyst landed in front of Garnet and Steven, both Amethyst and Pearl had frowns on their faces, and before they even said anything, Garnet put her hand up to silence both of them. "He's doing what his heart wants to do, let him." Pearl and Amethyst were both shocked at Garnet's words, but then Pearl sighed. "Fine..." She mumbled, but Amethyst was still being stubborn, she simply glared at Steven before turning around and she stormed off. Garnet, Steven, and Pearl all walked back towards the temple, when they were back inside of it, Steven got dressed into pajamas, a baggy dark pink tank-top with Cookie Cat sweatpants. "Good night, you two!" Steven ran off to his room, he only said you two since Amethyst already locked herself in her room. Garnet and Pearl went to their rooms, and Steven did the same. While he laid in his bed, he swipped through his phone, smiling happily and then he laughed some at a few of the pictures he took with himself and Peridot in it, in all of those pictures, Steven had his casual big grin on his face while Peridot would muster up a little and small smile. "I hope she is okay..." Steven shut off his phone, and he stared out of his window in his room, smiling to himself as his eyes begin to get heavy. A few minutes of silence had passed until he started to snore, trust me it was pretty loud when Steven snored, having a blissful sleep.
Steven was having a dream, he walked on a grassy hill, a gentle breeze making his shaggy hair flow a bit. He continued to walk around on the hill, smiling at the sight of the setting sun until a soft voice was heard. He turned to his side, and there sat Peridot at the edge of the hill. Steven smiled brightly once more and he took a seat next to Peridot, he knew that this was a dream, but the wind and the way the setting sun caressed Peridot made her look so beautiful. Peridot reached up, slipping her visor off and the moment she did, she looked even more beautiful. Steven felt Peridot's fingers graze his hand and he lifted his hand up, feeling Peridot's fingers intertwine together. His dark eyes stared into her neon-green ones, their faces inches apart from each other. They leaned towards each other, getting closer and closer, Perido'ts eyes were half-lidded and so were Steven's "Steven..." Peridot whispered, a smile appeared on Steven's face, their fingers still intertwined together. "Steven..." She repeated, "Steven!" She shouted out, and it woke Steven up, it was actually Pearl who was leaning over Steven, holding one of her spears. "Wake up! We're being attacked by Gem Centipeetles, we need your help!" And with that, Pearl ran outside. "R-Right!" He exclaimed, snapping out of his thoughts, and with that, he got dressed into his casual clothes, grabbing Rose's sword, and his gem glowed brightly yet again, his shield appearing on his arm. "Let's go!" Steven charged outside, and he began to slice through some younger centipeetles, making his way towards the mother Centipeetle. Peridot made her way to the temple, expecting nothing to happen until she saw all of the Centipeetles, and how the gems were slaying them, even Steven was fighting them. The Centipeetle mother screeched, seeing Peridot, and the mother spat out a large amount of corrosive liquid towards Peridot. "Peridot!" Steven ran towards Peridot and he pushed her out of the way, both of them falling off of the boardwalk, and onto the beach. "Steven!" Garnet lunged up into the air, summoning her weapons and with a war cry, she slammed her super powerful fists onto the Centipeetle mother's skull, making it crash down to the sand of the beach. "It's not enough to vanquish it, but it's enough to make it go away..." Garnet grumbled, sending her weapons away. The Centipeetle mother let out one more screech before slithering into the water with the younger ones following. Steven coughed some, opening his eyes and they widened some at the sight, Peridot was on top of him, and he quickly rolled the both of them out of the way, some of the corrosive liquid leaking from the boardwalk and onto the sand. Peridot coughed as well, wiping some sand away from her visor. "I can't believe that those Centipeetles even exist anymore. Apparently when they left Homeworld, they came to Earth." Peridot wondered out loud, and after she did, she realized that Steven was underneath her.
"If you didn't show up...!" Amethyst stomped over to Peridot and Steven, and Steven started to stand up with Peridot also. "Amethyst, calm down!" Steven put his hands up in defense as he stood in front of Peridot, hoping that Amethyst would calm down soon. He had to hold Amethyst back from pouncing onto Peridot. "You always do horrible things to us!" Amethyst started, and Peridot growled, starting to argue with Amethyst. "Just because that Centipeetle mother aimed for me, does not prove anything! Those creatures have always been destructive, so don't accuse me for anything!" Peridot exclaimed right in Amethyst's face, the both of them arguing yet again. Garnet sighed and walked over to the arguing Amethyst, and she grabbed the back of her clothes, lifting Amethyst up with ease. "Come on," Garnet turned around, walking and holding Amethyst. Pearl awkardly waved, her spears phasing away as did Steven's shield and Rose's sword. He stood up, groaning as him and Peridot dusted each other off after all of that. "Sorry about Amethyst again, Peri, and almost getting hit with that acid stuff," Steven laughed, scratching the back of his head. "No apology required, I should of seen both of those things happening." Peridot let a smile appear on her lips, adjusting Steven's overshirt for him. "I should thank you, yet again, for helping me and protecting me." Peridot was starting to realize something, Steven was going to save her a lot, wasn't he?
