Steven introduces the diamonds to food

0

This visit was kind of special to Steven. Ever since he was little he was impressed with Amethyst's ability to eat anything she wanted. So to hear the diamonds agree to his idea? This was so exciting.

When the ship landed Steven went out to greet them. A white bubble lowered to the ground.

White diamond was the first to speak as the bubble disappeared. "Oh, Steven! Here we are! What are you going to have us try today?"

Yellow diamond spoke next, she sounded unsure. "Steven, is this really necessary? We are gems. We have no need to consume any kind of nutrients."

Blue gave him a small smile. "I'm sure this will be interesting. So, Steven what do we do first?"

Steven smiled at them widely. "Well, first off, thank you for wanting to try this! I know some gems won't even consider it. But I'm sure you'll like it! Ok, you should all shapeshift to be smaller. And secondly, you'll have to shape a digestive system."

They all nodded, and shapeshifted to be smaller, slightly taller than Pink was. Steven opened a book, and showed them a diagram of the human digestive system.

Yellow shapeshifted what she needed immediately, White did so slowly.

Blue made a disgusted face. "Oh. This is really what you need? And these processes? Humans do these things daily?"

Steven nodded. "Yep. We need to. It's to keep us healthy. Don't worry, if you don't like it, this can be the only time you can do this."

With a small sigh, Blue shapeshifted the proper anatomy.

Steven smiled at them again. "Great! Come in, I made a bunch of different food!"

They all followed him in, and saw a large spread of food on the table. White diamond spoke first. "Oh my, Steven. You made all of this for us? How long did that take you?"

He shrugged at her. "Eh, not too long. Lars helped with a lot of it. Most of this is really simple stuff. I didn't want to do anything too crazy. So, to start, maybe you should all try fruit?"

Steven went over to the table, and grabbed a bowl of cut up fruit. "So, I thought maybe we could try simple fruits. So, I have bananas, grapes, and apples. Try some."

When Yellow looked at the bowl of fruit, she hummed. "Well, they are certainly...interesting. A lot of it looks pale."

In response, he shrugged. "Yeah bananas, and apples aren't super colorful. I peeled the skin off the apples so you can get the main taste."

As he waited, Yellow took a grape. "And this thing is a grape? It's very purple. Is that normal?"

He nodded at her. "Yep! Grapes can be all kinds of colors."

She nodded, before popping it into her mouth. The other two slowly did the same.

Stars appeared in Yellow's eyes, and she smiled. When she swallowed it, she looked at him. "I see why you like this! Is there more?"

White hummed slightly. "Hmm...this is strange."

Blue swallowed hers slowly, and shivered.

Steven smiled at them. "It's a start! Come and try some other stuff!"

They all tried different things. Each of them had different reactions to the different things.

Yellow diamond loved fruit most of all, and happily asked about growing some on Homeworld.

White seemed to enjoy baked goods like cakes, and pie. She started asking him about how to make them. He told her that maybe he, Lars, and her could all bake something together sometime.

Blue diamond didn't seem to enjoy it. She said that the flavors were delightful, but the process afterwards made her uncomfortable. In response, Steven let her try tea, and watered down fruit juice.

She seemed to like this a little more, but would most likely not try this again.

Before they left, Steven smiled at them. "Are you off to Homeworld?"

Yellow nodded eagerly. "Yes, I would like to get started on growing fruit trees right away! This was nice, Steven."

White smiled at him. "Yes, well I hope you will visit more often."

Blue sighed slightly. "I'm sorry, Steven. That I couldn't enjoy it."

He shook his head. "It's fine, I'm just glad you wanted to try this! Maybe next time we could try candy."

They all said their goodbyes, and left for Homeworld.

Steven smiled eagerly, going off to plan the next get together.
