Author's note: Here's a story about Steven universe. I don't own anything of Steven universe, only the characters I create and I do not stand to make a profit off of this. Hope you enjoy this new story

Chapter 1: Meeting Her

It was a normal day at Beach city, everyone was enjoying their day and going on with their average lives and Steven was hanging out with Connie by the beach.

"So Steven did anything interesting happen today," Connie said "no not really, the only thing that happened today was lars getting pushed into the dumpster by Lion," steven said with Connie laughing. They both decided to walk down the beach away from the temple.

After walking and talking to each other for about 30 minutes steven looked at the setting sun and said "that's a beautiful scene" "yeah it really is beautiful," Connie said before the sand beneath them started to fall. Connie managed to get out of the way but Steven didn't and he fell with the sand. "STEVEN!" Connie screamed as she saw Steven fall with the sand and immediately ran towards the temple to get the crystal gems.

When steven woke up he found himself in a large cave system. Steven pulled himself from the sand and looked up and saw the hole he fell from. Steven tried to calling for Connie but didn't hear her, so he assumed that she went to the temple. After looking at his surroundings, he saw that he was in a huge cave system.

"I wonder if this cave has an exit," Steven thought to himself while he was getting up looking into the well-lit cave. "I guess there's only one way to find out," he said to himself. After he said that Steven started to walk farther into the cave.

Meanwhile, Connie was sprinting back to the temple to get the crystal gems to help, but while she was spriting she didn't notice a small hole and her foot fell in it causing her to fall. Connie's foot was badly injured to the point where she couldn't run. Connie screamed in pain to her almost broken foot, but she got up quickly and tried to run, but she could only limp because of the amount of pain in her foot.

While Steven was walking down the cave he heard the noise of a female talking "a voice, that must mean someone is down here, maybe they know the way out," Steven thought. After finishing that thought he decided to follow where he heard the voice. After walking towards the sound for about two minutes the voice was getting louder and more clear. After 30 seconds the voice stopped and Steven kept going where he last heard the voice until he reached a rather large room with Ph.D. degrees from different colleges on a nearby stone wall and this confused Steven on why are there college degrees on this stone wall down here. "Hello, is anyone there?" Steven said "h-hello," a female voice said. "hi, where are you," Steven said with no one responding "hey you don't have to be shy, what's your name," he said with still no one responding again "okay if you don't want me here then I'll leave then," Steven said turning around to leave the room but stopped when he heard "Wait!" after he heard that he turned around to see a giant red woman wearing a torn red cape. Steven was astonished by how tall she was "ah, sorry, should have done this before you saw me," after she said that she then shrunk her body to the size about one inch shorter then Pearl. After she did that Steven didn't move because he was still in shock, but was snapped out of it when she said "are you okay," "wait, you're a gem!" Steven yelled. After he said that the female cocked her head in confusion and said "whats a gem? I have some crystals and other stones if that's what you're talking about," her answer confused steven and he said, "what's your name," to which the female said "my real name is Blood Diamond, but people call me Red," after she said that Steven was terrified that she said diamond, but also confused because he never heard about a Blood Diamond from peridot and wondered how long she has been on earth.

Meanwhile, Connie finally made it back to the temple and burst open the door. When the crystal gems saw her she was pale. "oh my stars, what happened to you, Connie?" Pearl said "Steven fell into a sinkhole and can't get out," Connie said breathing heavily. After she said that the crystal gems' eyes widened and they all said in sync "where did this happen" Connie was about to respond but passed out due to her out of breath and the trio said in sync again "CONNIE WAKE UP!."

While the crystal gems tried to wake Connie up, Steven was asking Blood Diamond all sorts of questions."Do you know about the gem war," Steven said to which Red responded with "what's the gem war?" this response causes him to question where was she created "Do you know what homeworld is?" Steven said "what's homeworld? Is that a way of saying I'm an alien because I'm, I was born here" Blood Diamond said. This response shocked Steven that a diamond was born here and this caused him to be skeptical if she really is a diamond, so he asked her "can you take off your cape please," after he said that red said "sure," and took off her cape and saw her gemstone and was shocked because her gemstone had all kinds of different colors on it and notice many other things about her, she had long red hair, red skin and wore red Tailcoat long trench coat with red shoes, red pants, and she had red diamond-shaped eyes. Steven was captivated by her beautiful look and his cheeks turned red. "Hey you okay," red said waving her hands in front of Steven's face, snapping him out of his thoughts and said "sorry," Steven then thought that she wasn't a diamond dictator, she was a diamond created on earth never knowing about the gem war or anything. After realizing that he needs to get out of here he asks her "hey I need to get going, do you know a way out" steven says to red "yeah I can bring to the exit," she said with her changing back to her original size and putting her hand down for steven to jump on and red began to walk towards the exit.

Meanwhile, Connie finally woke up with Pearl shaking her body back and forth, yelling her name. "Connie, you're awake, now tell us where steven is," Pearl said. After a few seconds of Connie trying to remember where she said "far down the beach, I can guide you." Garnet picked up Connie and brought her outside with Amethyst turning into a helicopter with everyone getting on.

When Red was bringing Steven to the exit and Red said, "by the way, what's your name?" Steven was about to say his name but instead said his name was rose quartz because he wanted to see what she would do. After he told her his mother's name all she said "Rose Quartz? well, that's a very odd name for a boy" to which this proved that she doesn't know that she was in fact born after the crystal gem war. After walking for about two minutes they reached one of the exits of the caves and just before Steven left, red said "hey Steven, can you not tell people about me because I don't want them to be scared of me and I hope to meet again." Steven said "don't worry I won't tell anyone about your hiding place and I plan to come to visit you tomorrow, is that okay with you?" to which Red replied with "oh that would wonderful, people usually get scared of me and I never see them again so I would love your company," Red smiled and turned around and was beginning to walk away with Steven saying "see you tomorrow," to which Red replied with "you too," After the conversation Steven started to make his way out of the cave.

Meanwhile, the crystal gems finally see the sinkhole and Amethyst lands and shapeshift back into her original form and the four ran near the hole with garnet and pearl screaming out for steven. "Amethyst jump in and find steven" pearl said with amethyst jumping down and finding that steven wasn't in the sandpit down in the sinkhole and jumped out of the pit saying "he's not down there. There's a cave system down here and Steven probably tried to find his own way out."

When Steven got out he realized that he wasn't far from the sinkhole he fell in. after a few seconds, he realizes that he needs to get back to the temple to calm everyone down and began to run. As he begins to run Steven sees the crystal gems near the sinkhole and he screamed "guy's I'm okay," the four looked and charged at steven and they all hugged him very tightly with Pearl saying "Steven, How did you get out" to which Steven responded with "there was an exit nearby where I fell so I climbed out" "well, either way, your safe, let's go back to the house," Garnet said with everyone starting to walk back to the temple. "Well Connie it seems that something interesting did happen today and why are you pale?" Steven said to Connie with Connie laughing and saying "hurt myself trying to get help" and with Steven saying "oh, sorry," After he said that he looked back at the sinkhole, "See you tomorrow Red," Steven thought to himself before catching up with the rest.
