Okay, so originally I was supposed to introduce Connie in Pyramide Buddies, which would have been the next chapter. However, I wanted to make Steven and Connie's interactions in this episode and, to be honest, I kinda prefer this episode. Just the Connie/Steven parts though, I think those are important.

So yeah, not a full episode for today, but hey, I'm pretty sure I've done short ones enough times to be common. However, I'll simply put lines instead of saying what happened, because it's exactly same as the episode, only with the characters switched.

Anyway, you know the usual, read and review.


(Top of the Crystal Temple's hill)

Connie inspected a fence constructed at the edges of the hill, glancing between it and the picnic she set up for Steven and herself. She immediately stopped when Steven arrived on top of Lion.

"Oh, Steven, you arrived." Connie gleefully remarked as Steven got off Lion, sat down and grabbed a sandwich from the picnic basket. "So, hey, I wanted to ask you about the fence. Is it new?"

"Well, that's a long story." Steven answered.

"We got time, tell me about it." Connie replied as she sat down.

"Okay, but this story isn't the happiest of stories, just a heads up."


"And that's how the fence was made. The End." Steven finished, taking a bite of his sandwich before noticing Connie's less than amused expression. "What?"

"You honestly expect me to believe that's the whole story?" Connie inquired with a raised eyebrow.

"Yeah, what else is there to say?"

"Oh, I don't know, maybe what happened to Jasper, if Jasper's nose was repaired or not, heck, even how long it took Peridot to make the fence! I just feel there's something missing."

"Well, maybe I removed a detail or two."

"Steven, tell me the whole story."

Steven looked away and hummed reluctantly. Connie repeated his name, but Steven didn't respond. She tried again, this time a bit more nicely, but she got the same result. She shook her fist and shouted Steven's, and this finally got to him.

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you the rest!" Steven replied as Connie inmmediately turned back to her cheery mood, paying attention with a smile as Steven continued, "But you'll have to give me your glasses."

"Only if you give me your juice."

The kids nodded and swapped items. "So, how do I look?" Steven asked with a goofy smile.

Connie, squinting her eyes as hard as she could to try even see Steven, simply replied with, "How do you expect me to answer if I can't even see you?"

"Good point. Anyway, Peridot and Lapis took me and Jasper to my mom's medical facility..."


This part has been ommited because it's identical to the real episode.


Steven paused upon noticing Connie was crying and sniffing a little. "Are you...okay?"

The girl wiped off her tears and, in quiet tone, answered, "Yes, just...keep going."


This part was also mostly cut because it's identical...except for one detail, which will be shown next:


Connie looked at her glasses, pondering what she should do next. She then sighed, put the glasses on her shirt and took out her phone. She put on a number, then put the phone close to her and smiled as the phone was answered.

"Hello, mom? Yeah, I got something to tell you..."
