Steven had to be dreaming. No not dreaming. Having a horrible nightmare. The boy flopped down on his bed and tried to sleep so he can escape the nightmare. But it was no use. Nothing could stop the tears from falling down his cheeks once more.

"D-dad." He whimpers as he covers himself up with blankets and holding MC Bear Bear close to his chest.

Pearl had made him left over pizza a while ago but Steven wasn't going to eat anything that reminds him of his father. He had heard Pearl talking how much Greg would want him to eat something but wasn't going to force him too. She left a while later saying she needed to get something at the store.

"Rawr!" a little growl was heard below the boys bed. Steven rolled his eyes and the pink lion jumps up and lays next to the boy.

"Lion, dad is g-gone." Steven's voice cracks as he says this. The pink lion blinks at the boy but doesn't move from his spot. He just let the boy hold his paws against his chest. "How am I going to move on? How can I live without my father!"

As the boy sobs again into the lions fur, something glowed inside him. It was Steven's gem. Its pink glow resonated throughout the house as the boys sobs began to slow. Lion yawns and lays his head next to Steven's on the pillow. The glow felt nice like it made everything around it feel warmth and compassion.

"Steven," a soft woman's voice calls as the boy wakes up. It was his mothers room. Why was he there? "don't cry Steven."

"Wha-?" The boy wonders as he turns a full circle to look for the woman who is calling him. "That voice. That voice sounds so familiar."

"Yes Steven. I am her your mother." Rose Quartz appears in front of him and gives him a gentle smile. "I know it may feel real, but your actually dreaming Steven. I had your gem glow so you can sleep better and forget about the days events."

"Y-you knew about the explosion then? You knew about- you knew about-"Steven had to stop as he started tearing up again. Rose looks at his son with sorrow on her face and kneels down to his level. She spread out her arms and the boy rushed into them wrapping his arms around her.

"Yes I saw Greg's last moments through your eyes. I-I don't understand any of this. How did the explosion happen in the first place? I thought Garnets future vision would pick up on that." His mother whispers to him as she hugs him tighter. "I never knew this would happen. I'm sorry Steven."

"Why are you apologizing mom? You couldn't do anything. I couldn't do anything but watch him die. Damn it, I couldn't do anything to prevent this!" Steven shouted sobbing harder as Rose comforts him the best she could.

"Steven you need to calm down. Somebody is coming. That mean I don't have that much time to warn you about your fate." Rose said trying to keep her eyes clear from tears. Her heart was broken from seeing her son in so much pain.

"Fate?"

"Yes Steven. Before your fourteenth birthday, Yellow Diamond will come for you in warships looking for my step-son. Yes Steven, you have a brother. His name is Red. Tiger Eye Red." Steven's eyes widen. "That's not all. Please stay clear from the basement."

Rose starts disappearing as the room starts flashing red. Steven had no idea what was happening but next thing he knew, he was on his bed again. Sweat rolled down his face as he checked on his gem before sighing in relief.

"Steven is umm distraught by the sudden passing of his father." Pearl explains the situation to Red from her point of view, but he wasn't paying her any attention. "We think he may be dealing with depression-"

"No shit!" Red shouted arrogantly as he glares at her briefly. "That was my step-father before he got my mother pregnant, had Steven, and then died!" He yells before turning around and walking towards the stares. "Look, I'm sorry if I hurt anyone with my voice, but it's the truth. My father abandoned me and Rose while the rebellion was happening. Mom sent me away to live with some surviving Tiger Eye soldiers, but they turned on me when I grew to be seven."

"Then Greg found you," Garnet says looking at the whitehaired boy. "He turned into a father that you never really had. He reunited you with Rose."

"Geez do you like to sugar coat it, Garnet?" Red questions looking at her with a blank stare.

"You asked about Steven? You are like Steven a lot, Tiger Eye." Pearl starts. "You have lost the same person, the same father, your even related."

Amethyst shifts her weight to her left foot. Things were starting to heat up a bit. That's what she could see from Red's look that sent Pearl into silence.

"Umm, Red," she starts looking at him with determination on her face. "I'm sure Steven would like to meet you. Do you want to come to Beach City?"

Red's faced her with light in his eyes. He finally managed to put a smile on his face. His eyes soften up a bit as he looks at her. "Ah yes, I would really enjoy seeing my little brother for the first time since my disappearance."

"Disappearance?"

"Ah you guys never told her?! Well sometimes you and I would have to go on a date to- OW!" Red yells in pain as Garnet slaps him on the head with a tablet. "Geez no matter how many times you hit me, the pain is still the same!"

"Good, then please keep your flirting mouth to the minimum." Pearl scolded the red gem as she walks back towards the exit.

"How bout you two just stop bickering so we can walk out of here in peace?" Garnet calmly states as she uses her gems as flashlights.

"Yes ma'am!" All three gems shouted before using their gems as sources of light while following behind the fusion.
