Alright, I am back and ready to write more. Thanks so much for the reviews for Chapter 1, really means a lot!
Disclaimer: I do not own Steven Universe or any of its characters.
Steven's eyes slowly opened in exhaustion. He didn't get a good sleep last night because of that weird dream.
Usually, when he had a bad dream and would wake up in the middle of the night, he would forget about it the very next day. But this was different. He could remember the dream clearly and could remember all the details, large and small.
Steven got out of bed and freshened up. Once he was done, he put on his regular star-shaped T-shirt along with the rest of his normal attire.
Suddenly, he started to feel a headache forming inside his head. Steven sometimes got headaches after getting up from bed, so that wasn't unusual to him.
Suddenly, the warp pad activated, and the person who came from it was none other then Pearl.
"Good morning, Steven!" Pearl greeted in a cheerful tone.
"Good morning Pearl! You seem happy today." Steven greeted.
"That's because I went on a solo mission last night and got three corrupted gems, in one night!" Pearl exclaimed happily, holding up three bubbled gems.
"Wow, that's so awesome Pearl!" Steven cheered.
"Oh, I can't wait to show the other Gems! There gonna be so jealous!" Pearl spoke as she walked over to the temple entrance and opened her door with her gem.
"See ya later Pearl!" Steven stated as the door closed.
"Hmm, I guess I have the entire house to myself for now." Steven spoke to himself, looking around the house.
"Hmm, I guess I could make some waffles for breakfast..." Steven said as he opened up the freezer and saw the box that held the waffles.
Steven opened the box, got two waffles, and put them in the toaster.
"Okay, so while that's cooking, I should find something to do...Oh right!" Steven exclaimed as he looked at the tv.
Since he was ungrounded from TV, he could watch finally catch up with most of his shows.
He flipped channels for about ten minutes, but his thoughts weren't directed to TV, they were directed towards that dream of his.
Lion came up to Steven and got his attention. Lion growled and looked at the toaster.
"Huh? Are you trying to tell me something- OH NO!" Steven realized that he left the waffles in there for to long.
Steven took the waffles out of the toaster and saw that they were pitch black and hard.
"Aw man, I really wanted waffles..." Steven complained with a sigh. He didn't feel like making two more waffles all over again.
Steven's stomach growled in hunger.
"I guess I can just go to the Big Donut and get something there..." Steven stated.
"But for right now, I think I need some more rest." Steven said as he looked at himself in the mirror and noticed that he had dark circles under his eyes, indicating that he was tired.
Steven laid back in his bed, and slowly went back to sleep.
Steven couldn't see anything but darkness. At first he didn't know what this place was, but soon, he remembered that this was the place from his other dream.
Steven walked for a while until he heard footsteps behind him.
"Who's there?" Steven asked, already knowing someone is following him.
The figure came out of the shadows and revealed himself.
Steven already recognized the figure as the replica from his other dream.
"Hello, Steven..." The replica greeted in a eerie voice.
"Who are you? What do you want? And why do you keep coming into my dreams?" Steven questioned, wanting answers.
"I told you already. I am you. Well, I am you're gem side." The copy explained.
"Gem side?"
"Yes. I am the person who gives you you're gem powers. You call upon me when you're friends are in danger, and I give you the power." The replica explained once more.
"I thought my Mom was my gem side..." Steven stated, confused.
"It is true that you're Mom is half of you, but I have her powers. We are the same being, Steven, no Rose included." The replica stated.
"If you are the person who gives me my gem powers, and I some how call upon you, why don't I remember you? I don't remember asking someone like you to give me powers, it just happens." Steven said.
The replica smirked.
"You don't literally ask me to give you power, your gem just reacts to the situation at hand, and then I am summoned to give you power." The copy explained once again.
"O-okay..."
"But..." The replica paused." I can give you more power if you take my hand and give me control. You will have unimaginable strength and power, and I can finally be free from within you..." The replica offered, holding his hand out.
Steven narrowed his eyes. "You don't seem very...nice." Steven noticed that his replica had a sadistic smirk on his face.
"Take my hand, Steven." The copy demanded.
"No. If I let you take control, there's no telling what you would do. If anything, you will attack my friends!" Steven refused.
"You can't refuse me forever Steven, I am taking that body of your's, along with your gem. You have been suppressing me for to LONG!" The replica exclaimed as it vanished .
"STEVEN! Wake up!" Steven suddenly heard a familiar voice calling him as he woke up. He was then met with the yes of Pearl, shaking him in order for him to get up.
"Steven, wake up! We have to get ready for you're 13th Birthday party tomorrow!" (At least, I think he is that old XD)
Steven moaned as he woke up from his dream. Time to get busy for tomorrow.
Far away, a figure was watching Steven, waiting for him to unleash his true hidden power.
"Hehe, when the time is right, I will take Steven down..." The figure chuckled.
Okay, second chapter is finished. Next chapter, we will experience Steven's 13th Birthday, but it's not going to be a cheerful Birthday, it's going to be the worst Birthday has ever had. ;) Leave a review if you liked this slightly longer chapter, I am going to try and reach two thousand words next chapter, and please no flaming.
