Chapter 3
Okay, so kidnapping baby Steven was one of the worst decisions we've ever made, and who knows? We may make mistakes even WORSE than that along the way, but for now, this was it. Don't get me wrong though, we did learn eventually that Steven was...well, Steven. Not Rose. Not anybody else. Just Steven. And to me, that was awesome. I learned to accept it. I'll never stop missing Rose, but either I accept she's gone, or I'll never be able to move on. Garnet did the same thing. And Pearl...welll, not Pearl. At least not YET. But for the past 14 years of Steven being alive, let's just say that she was still...erm...coping... But I ain't gonna talk about that drama. At least for this chapter. Instead, let's talk about the Ste-man himself.
And can I just say that I FREAKING LOVE THIS GUY? At first, I thought he was going to turn out like Rose, only ya know, human. But NOPE. He was a bit different from her, in a good way. He can be kinda dumb at times, I'll be honest. But he's also hilarious. Lovin' as much as Rose was. And not to mention he is my one and only TIGER MILLIONAIRE!
We're wrestling partners...I'll get to that later.
But anyways, Steven was a very cool guy. No matter what, he always made me feel stronger than I ever would've thought. Just like she did. Although sometimes, I wonder...if he turns out to become stronger than me, then what now?
Would I just be left in the dust? Would all that work Rose did for me be undone? Will I just be pushed back to stage one? Will I be the worst gem on the team once more?
Ehhh, I might be overthinking this. So what if he becomes stronger than me? Doesn't mean I'm weak...right? Probably. But I ain't here to turn this story into some pity party. Sorta. I might turn it into a pity party. But not for now, of course.
For now, let's talk about the day Steven got his shield. And boy was it hilarious.
