Steven finds Peridot's old limb enhancers, and she wonders if they are needed anymore
0
Steven happily dashed to the warp pad, holding his surprise, which he had wrapped in a large blanket. In a flash, the warp pad activated. He appeared closer to the area that the barn was at. While he walked, he whistled a chipper tune.
Once he got there, he saw Peridot, and Lapis sitting in the truck balcony watching Camp Pining Hearts. His voice was full of energy. "Hey, Lapis! Hey, Peridot!"
Both gems looked down at him, and smiled widely. Lapis flew down to him while Peridot rode down on her trash can lid.
Lapis spoke first. "Steven! It's so good to see you!"
Peridot sat on her lid, smiling at him. "What brings you to our barn today?"
Steven giggled eagerly, bouncing energetically. "Peridot! I have something for you!"
She looked at him with curiosity. "Does it have to do with that large bundle of synthetic fibers?"
He nodded eagerly. "Yep! Close your eyes first!"
With a nod, Peridot did so. Lapis gave Steven a knowing smile. Steven gently laid the blanket on the ground, opening it slowly.
He eagerly giggled again. "Ok! Open your eyes!"
When she did, a gasp escaped Peridot, and her eyes had stars in them. "My limb enhancers! How did you get them?! Where did you find them?! They look so new..."
Now Steven laughed again. "Lapis helped me! We were looking for anything cool near the warp pad. And we found these! What do you think?"
Peridot grabbed one of the enhancers, staring at it in amazement. "Wow, thanks..."
As she gawked at them, Steven smiled widely. "So, are you going to try them on? I even polished them for you!"
When she made no move to try them, Steven hummed slightly. "Did I do a bad job? Did the polish I used hurt them?"
With a sigh, Peridot put it down. "No, that's not it. It's just...I discovered my own powers. Without them. And since I am a real Crystal Gem now, I feel like I don't need them. I am my own gem now."
She looked at Steven, and Lapis sheepishly. "I apologize. The effort is appreciated. But I do not think I have any use for these anymore."
Steven smiled at her widely, and hugged her. "Aw, Peridot! I'm so proud of you!"
Lapis smiled softly, nodding at Peridot. "It's ok. How about we make a new meep morp with them? It can be special,"
At that, Peridot brightened. "Oh! Of course! This will be the best meep morp ever created!"
Steven smiled at them. "Can I help with this one?"
Peridot nodded eagerly. "Of course! Come, let's start making this morp!"

I love the idea of Peridot seeing her worth on her own :) Also I like the idea of a meep morp being made with her limb enhancers. So, that is why this ended like that lol
