A/N This chapter was supposed to be the thanksgiving one, I know. But I was growing a bit concerned again, about the wedding. I posted a poll on my profile and got five votes about the wedding. Two people said yes, one said it doesn't matter, and two people said no. So for now, I just wrote another filler chapter. I need to ask, will you guys please take the poll on my profile? I can then get a clear idea of what you guys want. I originally wrote this story for myself, and I didn't expect to get many reviews but...I'm so happy that so many people like it and I don't want to turn them away. So just decide what you would like, and vote for it on my poll please :) It would be very appreciated. Also in my previous chapter, I told people I'd write stories for there birthdays, and I did get some asks, but...they never told me when their birthdays were X3 If you'd like me to write you a birthday story, tell me your fandoms and your birthday please. I've already written one, To be held. And I can't wait to write another! And thank you to all of the people who told me happy Birthday :3 Your a bit early though. It's on September 20th. I can't wait. I'll be 16 X3 Anyway, here you go!

"And the birthday king is...Steven!" Amethyst cheered as she placed the birthday crown on Steven's head. (Play White clovers) Steven had a big smile on his face as Garnet, Pearl, Connie, Petey and Greg clapped for him. Today was November 12, Steven's thirteenth birthday. He was finally, officially, a teenager. While, he had been fine being 12, he loved the feeling of being grown up. "How's it feel to not be such a little man anymore?" Amethyst asked.

Steven had to think for a moment. "It feels...great! I'm glad I'm not a kid anymore!" He said happily. But something was bothering him. He wasn't sure what though. It was like an itch he couldn't find, let alone scratch (I've heard that in a book somewhere but I don't remember which one.) Maybe...maybe it was nothing. He pushed past his worries and smiled again. "Thank you guys so much for the amazing party!" he said happily. He looked over at Petey. "Ronaldo couldn't come?" he asked. Petey shook his head.

"He...hasn't really been himself lately. He and dad have been getting into a lot of fights lately and...I don't know. He hardly goes out anymore. Dad has been saying some pretty mean things to him, and Ronaldo would tell him things too. They hardly speak top each other now, and Ronaldo..he acts different now." (FORESHADOWING!) Petey shook his head and put a smile back on. "But it's your birthday Steven. You shouldn't have to worry about something like this." Steven bit his lip, and Greg, seeing his son's worry stood.

"Who wants to open the piñata?!" he asked gleefully, earning a loud cry of, "Me! Me!" from Steven. Connie giggled.

"Wow, I love piñatas. I don't think I've opened one since my seventh birthday party." she said. She didn't notice the worried glance Steven gave her.

"Same here!" Petey laughed. Were they too childish? Steven found himself feeling a bit embarrassed.

"W-we don't have to open the piñata if you guys don't want to." He said quickly. "Maybe it is a bit...childish." The others looked at each other and shrugged. "Lets get to cake." he suggested. Pearl's face lit up.

"Good idea Steven! I made a special one just for you!" she said happily. Steven gave her a weak smile as she went into the house to get it. Steven sat in his birthday chair and fiddled with the robe. Were birthday parties childish too? He wasn't sure. He glanced at Petey, who was still only twelve. He was holding one of the balloons and laughing at the face that was drawn on. Steven wasn't sure if he was laughing because of the face, or the face that Steven had drawn it on there. Connie had just noticed and had started to laugh as well. Was she laughing at him as well? He found that sweat was beading on his forehead. Where are you Pearl?

As if on cue, Pearl approached the table, a cake held up and candles lit. She smiled at Steven and set it down in front of him. He wasn't sure if he should feel pleased or mortified. The cake was in the shape of a cookie cat with small cookie cat cupcakes surrounding it. He could hear Connie "aww" and Petey didn't comment. He only smiled. Was it pity? Steven was becoming paranoid. He jumped when Amethyst blew on a kazoo and starting singing Happy birthday, followed by all of his other friends. "Happy birthday Steven!" was cried, and Steven could feel Pearl giving him numerous kisses, Garnet ruffle his hair, and Amethyst squeeze him tight. He squirmed slightly and Greg handed him a wrapped up gift. He tried to hide his fear as he opened it. A cookie cat pillow?! Oh gosh. If it were any other time, he'd be ecstatic. But now he just feel...embarrassed. His cheeks were burning red.

"D-Dad I'm not a little kid anymore." Steven moaned as he gripped the plush pillow tightly.

"What? I thought you'd like it." Greg said sadly. Steven hated seeing his father that way but..it was ture, he wasn't a kis anymore, and he didn't want to be treated like one. Especially not in front of his best friends.

"Well I don't!" he lied as he got to his feet. He thrust it back to his father.

"Steven that wasn't nice at all." Pearl scolded.

"Pearl stop it!" Steven burst. "I already told you, I'm not a little kid, and I don't want to be treated like one!" He cried. His gem glowed and he appeared as his older self with his acne and squeaky voice. "I'm grown now, I'm not your baby anymore." Connie and Petey looked very taken aback by the way Steven was acting. Steven found himself tearing up and he brushed angrily at his eyes. "I'm thirteen years old...I shouldn't be eating Cookie Cat, or opening piñatas, or getting kisses. I'm not a little boy anymore."

Garnet immediately seemed to know what was wrong and approached him, placing her hands on his broad shoulders. "Steven." She began. "Just because you are thirteen now, doesn't mean you have to start acting like an adult. Or even a teenager when you don't have to. You can like everything you liked before. You can act the way you always have. You can look the way you want to look, you don't have to change a thing." She stared into his big, brown eyes. He looked from his dad, to the other gems, to his friends.

"Oh gosh." he blushed. "I'm really sorry you guys." he said sheepishly as he shrunk. "I guess...I just wasn't ready to grown up yet. I was just a bit scared."

"We are too Steven." Pearl admitted. "We knew you wouldn't be a child forever. We were always worried for today."

"Yea, I was gonna miss little squirt Steven." Amethyst joked. Steven smiled and a thought struck him. He motioned for Garnet to come down and he whispered in her ear.

"Probably." She said back. Steven nodded and concentrated. He began to glow once more, and the others held there breath. When the glow faded, Pearl let out a gasp, Amethyst's eyes widened, and Garnet just smirked. There before them stood a small six year old Steven. He grinned up at them, his front top tooth missing.

"Then if it's okay with you guys, I'd like to be a little kid again, for just one more day. K?" He asked in a higher voice. Connie fell to her knees and squeezed the younger Steven tight. She loved him! He was just too cute. Amethyst laughed and joined the hug. Pearl, teary-eyed also joined, while Garnet stood back and just smiled. Greg lowered himself in a chair, feeling faint. He had never seen Steven do this before, so this was very new and really jolted his old heart.

"This kid'll be the death of me." he moaned

"Who wants to play Kazoo racers!?"

A/N Yay little Steven! Anyway please vote on my poll and I'll have the next chapter ready as soon as possible.
