Stevonnie Harem
Chapter 1
Stevonnie stared down at Earth from their ship, it was beautiful as ever. These days they didn't get to visit it as much as they wanted to, finding time was hard to do when one was preforming their duties as a Diamond on Homeworld. Well, at least Earth was safe for sure. After all, Pink Diamond owned it; they owned it. "How many years has it been?" Stevonnie asked. "How many years has it been since this all started?"
"3,014 years." The gem behind him stated. "That's how long it's been since Steven began to change." She stated.
"That long?" her arms wrapped around them. Stevonnie smiled and hugged her. "I remember it like it was yesterday…"
3,014 Years Ago – Earth – Universe Home/Temple
Steven knew that things were going to be complicated once the truth came out. Rose Quartz, his mother was actually Pink Diamond who'd faked her own shattering. But, if only one good thing came out of it then it was Ruby proposing to Sapphire a few hours ago. Now a gem wedding was coming. The boy was in bed ready to sleep, but too excited for the planning to come. He closed his eyes, and allowed sleep to take him.
Steven's Dream
It was pink, it was all pink; the ground and the sky. "Ok, this is new, and kind of ominous." He said turning around. "And foreboding!" there is was, a massive pink diamond. He backed away, but as he did two handprints appeared from inside of the massive gem. The gem glowed and the young teen began to run away as fast as he could.
"(Unintelligible)!" something screeched. The ground began to rumble and crumble.
"No, no, no, no, no!" he exclaimed. "Wake up, I gotta wake up!"
"Ste..ven?" against his better judgment he slowed just enough to look back, but an explosion of white consumed him. "Steven!"
Real world – Beach City – Universe Home/Temple
Steven awoke with a gasp, his eyes shot open, and his breathing was heavy. "Oh, ok that one was really intense." He calmed himself down after a few moments. "I mean seriously, I…" he looked down at his waist; something was very wrong. The skin around his gem was pink. And below it were clothes that he didn't remember putting on, but they were all too familiar.
A small pink and white skirt with short puffy hot-pink pants, white stockings, and a pair of pink slippers with white pom-poms floating over each of them. "No…" carefully he got up only to find that he'd grown to the point where his head hit the ceiling. He looked to the mirror in the kitchen to see that his fear was true. Magenta eyes with diamond-shaped pupils, and shoulder length yet large fluffy pink hair. And a rose-burgundy top which was cropped in the middle that revealed his midriff and gem, and puffy pink and white shoulder pads and rose gloves. "Its finally happened I've become my mom."
"Steven, are you ready?" Pearl called. The boy was frozen in place, he was to big to fit out of the door without damaging it.
"Pearl, I've got a little problem." At least he still sounded like himself.
"What, what is it?" she came running. "Don't worry, I-" her eyes widened in absolute shock. "Pink?"
"No, still Steven."
"But, you-you look just like her when she was still Pink." Pearl looked like she was about to have a heart attack, thankfully that wasn't possible. "How is this possible?"
"I don't know, but-"
"What the fu-"
"Language." Sapphire said cutting Amethyst off, she and Ruby had yet to fuse again. "Still though this is a surprising development."
"Yeah, but let's forget about it for today." Steven said. "We've got a wedding to plan, and that takes priority over this." He said gesturing to himself. "Maybe this will wear off soon." The gems looked to each other.
"If that's how you feel then-"
"What's with all the racket?!" Peridot exclaimed coming out of the bathroom. "I'm still in distress-" she immediately stopped talking upon seeing the Diamond. "P-Pink Diamond?!" she exclaimed turned to run back into the bathroom, but Steven quickly grabbed her which wasn't hard considering his new size. "Oh stars, don't shatter me I still have so much to live for!"
"Peridot, don't worry it's me, Steven." He said. "I just look like my mom, who was also Pink Diamond." After a quick explanation, and assuring Peridot that she wasn't going to be shattered. He put her down. "Now, I'll go tell dad what we're going to need." He looked to the door, and sighed.
"I'll come with you, my Diamon—Steven." Pearl corrected herself nervously, she wanted to keep an eye on him just in case anything changed. 'I can do this, it's still Steven, and not Pink/Rose.' She was doing her best to reassure herself while Steven was doing his best to get out of the front door. Said door was quickly breaking, and he was struggling to get out.
"I got you little dude!" without warning, Amethyst kicked Steven straight out.
"Amethyst!"
"I'm fine, the sand broke my fall!" Pearl groaned. "Come on Pearl." At least he wasn't hurt.
Beach City – It's a Wash
Beach City was used to weird, and seeing a 28ft tall giant pink woman wasn't exactly surprising at this point. Apparently he was taller than his mother. Though her voice and actual identity was the actual thing that surprised them. It was Steven. The boy had said hi to people he passed while Pearl was sitting on his shoulders. It was only upon reaching It's a Wash did the real awkwardness begin.
He and his dad were simply staring at each other in silence. The boy was sitting down on the ground, while Greg was standing there. "So, this is what she looked like before she became Rose."
"Yeah."
"Wow, just wow." He chuckled. "A really giant woman." The two laughed while Pearl stayed silent, this was a father son moment that she didn't want to ruin. "Any idea on how to turn back?"
"Not right now, but I'm hoping to turn back to normal before the wedding." He said.
"And if you aren't?" Pearl perked up.
"Well, hopefully we can find a good tailor because I'm going to need a suit that'll fit me." He smiled. The boy was trying to stay positive even in this odd situation.
"Speaking of tailors, we should find one for Ruby and Sapphire." Greg said.
"Oh, the wedding dress!" he was more excited about this than the brides. "Empire City." He said. "You can take them." He wanted to be there, but obviously he couldn't go while he looked like this. If only he was smaller, Pearl's size at least. With that thought, he shrunk down until he was the same height as Pearl; just like he wanted.
"You shrunk!" Greg and Pearl said in confusion.
"But how?"
"I wanted to be smaller so I could come to the city with you guys, guess I get to go now."
'That smile.' Pearl loved it when Pink smiled, when Rose smiled, but she especially loved it when Steven smiled. When she made him smile, it was always worth the effort. The trio discussed the essentials for the wedding, the must have items, and the guest list. Thankfully, most of the things they needed they could find here in Beach City. But visiting Empire City again would be fun.
The Next Day – Beach City – Temple – Bubble Room
Steven hadn't slept much last night since he knew that Pearl was watching him. Yesterday had been odd for him since everyone who didn't know him thought that he was a female and referred to him as such. He'd gotten tired of correcting them. The boy was currently in the Bubble Room with Pearl. "So, what are we doing here?"
"Well, I'm going to need your help with what I'm about to do." He hopped up and grabbed a bubble. "I feel like Bismuth should really be at the wedding, plus she deserves to know the truth." He explained.
"And, you need me to make sure that she doesn't shatter you when she attacks." Pearl sighed. "Here, let me." She took the bubble, and ushered for Steven to get behind her. The bubble popped, and the gem floated in the air for a few moments before glowing. Bismuth reformed, and fell onto the ground with a groan.
Slowly she got to her feet. "Huh, I'm back?"
"Hey, Bismuth long time no see." Steven nervously greeted. She immediately took notice of Pearl and someone who looked nothing like Steven.
"Steven?" Surprisingly enough she didn't attack. "You-you look like Pink Diamond, but why?! What's going on?!" she looked around and gasped.
"There's a lot to explain." Pearl said. "And, you'll want to sit down for this." She put her hand on Bismuth's shoulder.
After a long and detailed explanation of who Rose really was, Bismuth freezing one of the corrupted gems, and then quickly poofing it when it attacked. "So, that's it, that's everything." Steven said. Bismuth nodded and walked over to the pool of lava. She then proceeded to dunk her head in and scream, it sounded like gurgling.
"I think she's taking it well."
"Oh my gosh, it all makes sense now!"
"See."
The gem in question sighed, and put her legs in the lava. It must feel nice to her. "Guys, you gotta join me the lava is great." Pearl did, but Steven wasn't lava proof so he kept his limbs out.
"You took this better than Garnet did."
"How so?"
"She unfused."
"What, no, they're my favorite couple."
"I know, they're everyone's favorite couple, but they're getting back together." Steven said. "But they haven't fused yet, and that's why we came down here; I want to invite you to Garnet's wedding." He explained.
"Garnet's wedding?"
"It's a sacred human tradition." Pearl stated. "It's meant to celebrate the love between two people, we brought you out a day early." She stated. Steven's phone suddenly vibrated indicating that he had a text.
'Wonder who this is.' He opened the text.
Connie: "I'm outside."
Steven paled, looks like it was time to face her with this form. "Connie is outside." He stood up. "I'll go alone."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, yeah I'm sure." He said.
Beach City – Universe Home
He could see her waiting outside for him. "This is going to be so weird." He took a breath. "This is Connie, she won't just abandon me because I look a little different." The word little did not belong in that sentence. "1, 2, 3, go!" he rushed out the door, and jumped down onto the beach landing a few feet away from Connie. The human girl, backed away a bit, her eyes wide with disbelief. "Hey, Connie." He gave her a nervous smile.
"Steven, is that you?" he nodded. "You trying out a new look?"
"Not willingly." He stated. "This is what my mom looked like before she became Rose Quartz, before Rose she was Pink Diamond."
"Rose was Pink Diamond…she faked her own shattering?"
"You figured that out pretty quick." He said.
"You underestimate my quick thinking." She smirked. "So, have you tried turning back to normal."
"Yeah, but the best I can do grow smaller, here's how I woke up." His body shape shifted back to it's original height. "See."
"Wow, so is that normal Diamond height?"
"No, just Pink…my mom." He said. It still felt weird knowing his mother by two names. He shrunk back down.
"Is fusion still possible for us now that you're like this?" she asked. It would be a shame if they couldn't become Stevonnie anymore. "Let's try!" she ran up to Steven, and jumped into his arms. Immediately, the two fused. Stevonnie now adorned Pink Diamond's clothes, gem position, and eyes.
"Stevonnie still lives, and I feel better than ever!" Stevonnie exclaimed joyfully. Something felt different this time, Stevonnie felt stable, much more stable than usual. And stronger, so much stronger.
"Stevonnie?" Amethyst called gaining their attention. "Whoa, adopting the Pink Diamond look, you even got the eyes."
"Eyes, my eyes changed too?"
"Yeah, they're like diamond shaped and pink, wait it's magenta my bad." Inside the house, Sapphire watched with a small smile. This was the start of a very exciting future that she'd only glimpsed into.
