Steven opened the window and looked out at the sunrise.
"Everyone's out. Guess I'm making us breakfast."
"Oh no, this is that "together breakfast" you made?" Amethyst looked at Steven
"Yeah, we didn't even get to eat it though." Steven said shaking his head.
The others grew curious.
Steven kneeled on the counter which was very messy.
"Hope you cleaned that up." Connie said for Pearls sake.
"I did."
He put waffles, syrup and popcorn on the table. He put them in the toaster and grabbed them when they popped. Steven put them on a plate and poured syrup on them.
"Pearl! Garnet! Amethyst! Is anyone home?" He banged on the temple door.
He put popcorn in the microwave and dumped them on the waffles.
"You ruined it." Lars said bluntly.
"Popcorn on waffles? Gotta try that." Greg said.
Steven sat by the warp pad. "One, two, three warp in!" He fell down and groaned. "Guess they're still out saving the world."
Greg chuckled. "I know that feeling buddy."
Steven didn't know what he was talking about.
"Having to wait for the gems to get back."
Steven took the whipped cream and put it on the waffles.
"Look at you. You are out of control." Steven opened the screen door. "Pearl! Garnet!" Then closed it. Steven struggled to find a spot for the strawberry.
"It's done!" Steven sighed throwing himself on the counter. "That thing's too good for me to eat alone. It's a together breakfast."
What Amethyst said before made more sense.
The warp pad activated and Steven fell off the counter. Garnet was holding a scroll. "Ah, Garnet! Perfect. Check it out. It's not exactly healthy, but it's in a stack, so I guess you could say it's a balanced breakfast."
Steven and few others giggled.
Steven smiled and Garnet just stood there. Steven was making a weird face.
That made a few more laugh.
"You know, like, I made us all breakfast. I thought we could eat together like- like best buds."
"I can't stay. There's a business to attend to inside the temple." Garnet activated the temple door with her gems. The door opened in thirds.
"Ah." Steven face palmed. A few looked at him. "It was so obvious that you're a fusion, two gems! And they're glowing red and blue!"
Garnet smiled. Lars and Sadie were conFUSED.
"Ha! I knew right when I saw Garnet." Peridot said.
"That's because he didn't know a lot about gems at the time." Lapis told her.
"Aw, business? Like what?" Steven put the plate on the counter.
"I have to burn this." Garnet revealed the scroll which had drawings on it. Creepy music and whispers started playing.
"What is that?" Lars wondered out loud. Steven wanted to answer but he didn't know either.
"Cool!" Steven took a picture of it on his phone.
Garnet took his phone "I have to burn this too." She walked into the temple.
Guess it's a secret. Lars thought.
"The scroll is on the disc though, will you have to burn it?" Connie was being serious.
"Probably. We'll most likely get rid of the discs afterwards anyway." Garnet told the room. Everyone silently agreed.
"No! My apps!" Steven ran to the door. He lifted up his shirt and pressed his gem against the door. "Door. Open door."
"Haha, be careful, you might crack your gem." Amethyst half joked.
"Aw, you never work when I need it." He walked away.
"Dumb police! Uhh, you're dumb!" Amethyst cam through the door as a police officer. She shot the water gun towards the food.
What is the point of this episode? Lars wanted to see more gem fights and missions like the last three episodes.
Steven gasped. He jumped in the way of the stream. "Nooooooooooo!"
Amethyst started cracking up. Amethyst changed her head back to normal. "Oh, man. I totally got you. You should have seen the look on your face."
Sadie couldn't help but smile.
Steven got off the floor, his shirt was wet. "Oh, I knew it was you."
"Pffff, how?"
"Cause that's a water gun, and I'm not dumb." Steven put on a new shirt from the closet.
"You got something on your shirt." Steven looked down at his shirt.
Amethyst shot the water at Stevens shirt and face. "Duuuuuh-umb." She started cracking up again.
Lars was on the verge of laughing.
"Amethyst, this was all really unnecessary." Pearl told her.
"Yeah..." Lapis quietly agreed. Amethyst rolled her eyes.
She stopped when her door activated.
"Hey! That's my door." She changed back into herself and ran to it.
That's so cool how they can do that Sadie thought of what she would turn into if she could shapeshift.
Peridot was still on the fence about shapeshifting. At least she has metal powers and the others don't, they can all shapeshift.
Pearl came out carrying a sword. "Oh, Amethyst, there you are. Care to explain what one of my swords was doing in your room?"
"Having a sword party."
"Oh, please. You took it."
"I did not."
"It's fine. It's in the past. I forgive you." Pearl put the sword on her shoulder.
Amethyst groaned.
"Also, I cleaned up your awful, awful mess. You're welcome."
"You did WHAT? I have a system." She ran into her room.
Do they not get along? Sadie wondered.
"Amethyst! Wait!"
"What's the matter, Steven?"
"I wanted us all to have breakfast together, so I made Together Breakfast, but everyone keeps leaving." He showed Pearl the breakfast.
"Oh, that's nice." Pearl activated her door.
"I would've sat down with you Steven." Pearl said.
"But you didn't..." Peridot pointed out.
"Putting the sword away wasn't as important though." Even though she didn't eat, she would be more than happy to spend some time with Steven now.
She walked into her room and dropped into the water.
It startled some of the humans that she walked on water for a second.
"Oh, no! Not you too! I can't let this become together brunch." He grabbed the plate and stuck his arm through Pearls door. He pried it open and went through. There was several circular waterfalls.
"Woah, the waterfalls are supported by nothing." Connie pointed out.
"That's what I was thinking." Sadie said.
Pearl came out of one and danced bringing a bunch of swords out of the water. She put the sword in the empty scabbard fixing it. "There we go."
The younger humans thought it was pretty cool how she did it.
She's definitely a perfectionist Lars thought.
"Hey, Pearl!" Steven watched from below.
"Steven!" The swords fell back into the water. "What are you doing in here? You know it's dangerous for you inside the temple." Her hand lit up and the door opened behind Steven.
"We're gonna have a nice together breakfast, even if I have to get my shoes wet." Steven dropped into the water.
"So Pearl can only walk on the water?" Connie asked.
"Yes, because it's my room." Pearl stated.
"Lion could walk on it." Steven added. Connie smiled.
"I never want to be in that furry freak again." Peridot added.
"Oh, the pink lion, he's cute." Sadie chimed in.
"Man, I wish Lion was invited." Steven said.
"Wouldn't he just... devour all the food on the table?" Greg guessed.
"Yeah..." Steven realized.
"It's for the better." said Connie.
"That thing has no self control." Pearl mentioned.
"You should see him when you show him a piece of cardboard!" Amethyst smiled.
"Or a lizard." Garnet added.
"That thing always scared me when I saw it laying in the dumpster." Lars remembered.
Steven smiled hearing everyone sharing something about Lion.
"What lion?" Lapis asked feeling excluded. A few laughed or smiled.
"Don't you remember seeing him when we came for the ocean. He's a huge cat, and... pink." Steven described.
"Don't remember." She replied thinking back.
"I'm sure there's an episode dedicated to Lion." Connie said.
"There has to be... I didn't find him yet here so." Steven trailed off. Garnet waited for a second then resumed the episode.
"What!? Get out of there!"
"I'll swim it over to you." He started paddling. "See? Doggy paddle, forward." Steven was coming close to a waterfall. "Oh, ! Doggy paddle, reverse, reverse!" He went down the waterfall still trying to go backwards.
Sadie giggled.
"Steven!"
The water direction changed to where it didn't make sense. "What the-"
"Does gravity like- not apply in that place?" Lars asked.
"Not so much in some places." Garnet told him.
Steven screamed down a twist and bumps which got faster.
"That looks fun." Lapis said.
"Heh, it wasn't." Steven told her.
"Keep it together, breakfast!" He screamed going down a fall. He landed in what seemed to be a lake. He washed up on shore keep the food out of the water. He was now in Amethysts room.
Amethyst walked around the piles of garbage. She threw some junk somewhere else. "Better."
"Amethyst."
"Oh, hey, Steven. Did you come down the waterfall? Pearl gets so mad that I have her junk, but it's always falling down here."
"Yea, maybe you should keep better track of your stuff." Amethyst told her.
"Did you not just see my perfectly aligned swords. Look at your things... all thrown around like that. How can you live."
"I told you, I have a system, and Greg obviously likes my style better."
"Actually, I'd love to have everything organized like Pearl but I... don't have time to do it."
Yea they definitely don't get along all the time. Sadie noticed. They do seem to be very different from each other.
"Junk like what?"
"Junk like you!" Amethyst picked Steven up. "Imma throw you in the junk pile." Steven laughed as she threw him on the pile. "Isn't it awful? Pearl organized everything."
How can you tell? Lars wondered.
"It still looks messy to me."
"Aw, thanks! I try. Boom!" She kicked some stuff.
"You take that as a compliment? I'd never have the barn looking like that." Peridot insisted. Lapis agreed and Amethyst shook her head.
"Oh, what's that, Steven?" She pointed to the breakfast.
"It's a together breakfast."
"All right! Snacks!"
"No! It's for everyone to eat together. That's the essence of together breakfast."
"Ahhhh...Give me! Give me!" Amethyst started chasing Steven through a tunnel.
"We have to eat it together!" Steven yelled. They started running upside down. The waffles started to fall but Steven caught them.
"Yea the gravity's weird." Connie said thinking back on what Lars and Garnet said.
They ran back to right side up.
"You can't outrun me! We both have short legs." Amethyst yelled. Steven saw an opening. "Steven. I'm hungry!"
"How?" Greg asked.
"If you shapeshift a digestive system, you should know that Greg." Amethyst said.
Greg looked away.
"Ew, that's so weird." Lars whispered to Sadie.
Steven jumped in the floating rocks. "Just hold on. An exit. "Whoooo!"
The rocks reminded Steven of one of the gem battlefields.
Steven jumped down catching all the waffles that fell. "Skills."
"Get back here." Amethyst chased him.
"You're completely missing the point of this." The two ran into an open room and Steven jumped on a vein.
"Hey, wait a second." Amethyst was unsure.
"Steven. There you are." Pearl was on the other side of the room.
"Pearl, sweet. Two out of three."
"Steven, be careful" warned Pearl.
"Why?" Steven looked up at a giant heart. "Woah."
"And I thought things couldn't get any weirder." Lars admitted.
"That's cool. Is that the huge gem structures heart or something?" Connie wondered.
"Uhhh..." Steven looked to Garnet.
"Gems don't have hearts."
I guess that's a no. Connie concluded.
"You really shouldn't be in here. This is the crystal heart. Oh! It's connected to the most dangerous areas of the temple. Hold on tight and don't look down." Pearl told him.
Steven looked down to see a hole below him. Steven lost his grip and started to fall down.
Peridot snickered.
Of course.
Pearl and Amethyst watched from above. Steven held on the vein as he slid through a dark part screaming. He got to a more peaceful part.
"Hey that must be moms room!" Steven recognized the pink clouds.
"Yea it looks like it." Connie said.
"Oh, hey. This isn't so bad. Never mind." He said as he went back to the dark area. Steven stopped in Garnet's room. Steven watched Garnet snapped his phone and threw it into the lava. Steven felt discouraged.
How'd she not hear him screaming. Lars wondered.
Garnet activated her gems and set the scroll on fire putting it in a bubble. It screamed. Steven slid to the ground and Pearl and Amethyst floated in.
"Steven, we're getting you out of here." Pearl whispered.
"Come on." Amethyst was too.
"Huh? This is great! We're all together!" Steven said loudly. Garnet gasped, keeping the smoke from getting out. "We can finally eat! I mean, we don't have any forks, but we can use our hands. I'm not gonna judge."
"Steven, go!" Garnet yelled.
They're going to have to fight this thing aren't they. Lars knew. Steven's so naive... Or was.
"Ok. Want to meet in the kitchen?"
The monster popped out of its bubble and the gems readied themselves.
"How are you gonna fight smoke?" Connie wondered.
"It wasn't really a gas." Steven told her trying to leave out that it controlled the breakfast.
"It's trying to escape. Force it back." Garnet commanded. Garnet punched it causing it to chase Steven.
"Get back!" Amethyst whipped it. Pearl shanked it with her spear and it wailed. Garnet punched it again.
"Ah, I see." Connie said.
"Ugh. That thing is scary." Greg mentioned.
The thing went for Steven and made him fall over.
"Steven!" The gems shouted.
Steven looked at the plate. "Together breakfast?" It bounced then turned into a huge monster made out of waffles and syrup. Steven screamed as it towered over him.
"And I thought the huge heart was weird." Lars said.
"Careful, you might keep saying that for every episode." Steven told him smirking.
"Yea, wait until you see the fusion experiments." Connie said.
"Or the cluster itself." Peridot mentioned.
"Or Malachite." Amethyst added hoping for no reaction from Lapis.
Lapis forced the thought of seeing Jasper and her experience as Malachite out of her head.
"Or what's under Garnet's visor." Greg said. Garnet and the room looked at him. "It freaked me out when I first saw."
"Well, I don't wanna see any of that." Lars stated.
"Well, that's to bad because you can't leave." Pearl said, eyes closed. Knowing everything that was just said will most likely be covered.
Sadie was excited to see what was in store in future episodes.
Lars mumbled something.
"Or my dreams." Steven added late.
"Now I definitely don't want to see tha-"
"Hush!" Amethyst demanded.
Pearl threw her spear through it. "It's taken refuge in organic matter." The breakfast stuck her to a wall.
"Now it has all the power of a breakfast. We have to destroy it." Garnet said.
"Aah! It's horrible!" Pearl cried as the monster spread.
Peridot laughed.
The together breakfast broke Pearl's spear. Garnet punched it getting her gauntlet stuck in the whipped cream.
"Ew."
Amethyst pulled her away.
"I didn't want this. I just wanted to eat together, like- like best buds." Steven cried pushing the food away.
"Steven, you've got to get away." Garnet told him still struggling with her gauntlet.
"But my breakfast." The monster shot a huge waffle at Garnet and Amethyst slamming into the wall.
"That's enough! I don't care if you are the most important meal of the day." Steven struggled to push the monster farther.
"There you go again, talking to things that can't even understand you." Lars pointed out.
Steven ignored it but mentally rolled his eyes.
"I made you to bring us together, not to tear us apart!" He pushes the monster into the lava, it bursted into flames.
"Nice one." Greg complimented.
"Yes." Pearl agreed.
Garnet punched a hole in the waffle, her and Amethyst climbed out. Pearl freed herself from the whipped cream. The gems walked over to Steven.
"I'm sorry, guys. I guess I dreamed too big." The gems looked sad, Amethyst and Pearl had their hand on his shoulder.
"You just wanted to eat breakfast." Connie stated.
"I know right."
Garnet put waffles in the toaster and Amethyst put popcorn in the microwave. Pearl poured syrup on twice as many waffles. Steven put the popcorn on the waffles, Garnet added the whipped cream. Steven, again couldn't decide where to put the strawberry.
"It looks great. It's even more together and even more breakfast."The gems dishearteningly looked at the together breakfast.
They must've been scarred. Connie thought.
"I don't think I can eat this."
"Let's order pizza." Amethyst suggested.
"Pizza's a better idea." Steven agreed.
"It's good." Pearl said.
"It did try to kill us." Garnet added. End.
"Ha, that was... interesting." Sadie said.
"I liked it." Lapis smiled.
"Then lets see the next one." Steven insisted, the room excited.
So now that I posted all the ones I already had done, chapter updates will be a little lengthy. Maybe half a month? I've started Frybo already so hopefully I'm done within the next week.
