The gems were busy breaking crystals trying to find the one that was a creature in disguise. "Oh I hope Steven got my message." Pearl began to worry. "I mean I did place it on the counter in an obvious spot right?"
Pearl was pacing back and forth and Garnet and Amethyst were busy looking in the crystals.
"I'm pretty sure Steven is fine." Garnet began to say as she broke another crystal to pieces. "He is probably out with Connie anyway." Amethyst said as she picked up another crystal and threw it with all of her might.
"What if he is worried sick about us or something?" Pearl began tapping her foot, deep in thought.
"Why don't you just go check on him since you aren't helping us do anything." Amethyst mumbled as she threw another crystal. "You are totally right, I'll be right back." Pearl ran toward the warp pad and went back to the house.
"She will be back in a few minutes." Garnet said as she punched a huge crystal. "We just have to hope that the.."
The crystal Amethyst threw on the ground began shaking and a huge crystal serpent emerged from it. "Awe right when Pearl decides to leave." Amethyst said as she pulled out her whip.
Pearl teleported back to the house and everything was quiet. "Steven?" Pearl called out. "Steven where are you?" Pearl called out once more getting a little more frantic. Pearl checked in every room but she couldn't find any signs of Steven.
Suddenly the front door opened up and Steven stepped inside. "Oh my gosh Steven where have you been?" Pearl cried as she ran over to hug Steven.
"Relax Pearl I was just hanging out with Sadie and Lars at the donut shop." Steven answered.
"I just got so worried about you because I didn't know if you found my note or not." Pearl gushed at Steven. "Its ok but don't you have to be helping the gems out?" Steven asked as he went straight toward the kitchen.
"Yeah but we've been searching for hours. The bug wont make an appearance any time soon." Perl said.
"Oh ok." Steven said as he went up to his bed. "I'm gonna go now is there anything you need?" Pearl asked. "No I'm good." Steven answered turning on his console.
Pearl walked back to the warp pad and right before she stepped on it, Garnet and Amethyst teleported in. They were all tore up and looked utterly exhausted.
"what happened to you two?" Pearl asked staring at their wounds.
"Well right after you left, Amethyst threw a rock and the crystal serpent was inside." Garnet was swaying to the side trying to keep her balance. "Just our luck." Amethyst tripped and fell to the ground.
"You two go rest right this instant." Pearl demanded pushing them to their rooms.
"Hey I'm going to the beach to hang with Connie now." Steven said as he inched toward the door.
"Ok have fun then Steven." Pearl smiled as Steven walked out the door.
"He seems a little more distant don't you think?" Garnet asked causing pearl to shake her head. "Garnet, just go lay down I'm sure Steven is fine. "We've been so much more busy lately so i'm sure he wants to hang with his human friends." Pearl reassured.
Garnet only sighed as she headed toward her room. When Garnet was in her room pearl sat on the couch.
Something is wrong with Steven, he was acting very strangely. Pearl thought to herself.
I'm probably just thinking weird things. Pearl added.
She got up and retreated to her room. As she walked she thought about Steven.
"Yeah I'm just crazy." Pearl mumbled to herself.
