Disclaimer: I do not own Steven Universe


Steven slowly opened his eyes to see both Garnet and Amethyst looking at him intently.

"Hey! Steven, are you okay?!" Amethyst exclaimed, worried.

"Yeah, I think so." Steven responded, not sounding as reassuring as he wanted to be.

"Good to know. Now Steven, do you mind telling us what happened back there?" Garnet asked. "You wanted me to knock you out before something bad happened. What was that suppose to mean?

"N-nothing really. I was just having a bad headache and I was really paranoid, as if the Replica was gonna come back and try to takeover. So, yeah, that's why." Steven lied. He really needed to stop doing that.

Garnet and Amethyst looked at each other. They didn't seem to buy it.

"...Um, guys? Can we talk about this later? I've been really tired lately because I haven't been getting a lot of sleep an-" Steven cut himself off after realizing what he had just said.

"You haven't been getting a lot of sleep? Why?" Garnet questioned once again.

"I-I've just been thinking about The Replica and all that's been happening recently. That's all." Steven explained with another lie.

"Fine. We believe you...for now. But remember Steven, you can always talk to us." Garnet replied.

"On another note, what were you and Connie doing at the park...alone?" Amethyst asked, giving him a grin.

"We were just there to relax and have fun. Nothing else." Steven answered, knowing what she was thinking.

"Are you sure? Because the way you look at her, I think not. If anything, you guys are totally boyfriend and girlfriend." Amethyst teased, laughing a bit.

"She's not my girlfriend." Steven spoke, blushing a bit. "She's just an awesome friend."

"Yeah whatever. If she's not, why do you have a picture of her?" Amethyst spoke in a laughing tone.

"T-that's none of you're business..."

"Well hey, I don't blame you. Have you seen all the boys that look at her that she passes by? You are so lucky dude. Those guys would kill for a girl like her. I bet if you put on some of that Steven charm she'll ask to be you're girlfriend."

"What are you talking about? I don't like her like that!" Steven exclaimed, still slightly blushing.

"Yeah right. You're face says it all."

"Whatever." Steven muttered, walking away.

"Steven, where are you going?" Garnet asked.

"To my bed. I have some sleep to get." Steven answered.

"And a girlfriend to call." Amethyst teasingly added. Steven just ignored the amounts of laughter coming from Amethyst and simply went to his bed and laid on it.

Once Steven went to bed, Amethyst turned to Garnet.

"Are you sure we should have let Steven off the hook like that so easily? He's lied to us before and it could happen again." Amethyst asked.

Garnet sighed, "I don't know. I think it's better not to stress him out too much. We have to be careful. Any little thing can easily set him off."

"I'm thinking of training him tomorrow. You think that's a good idea?" Amethyst asked, thinking for a moment.

"What harm could it do? Just go easy on him, but not to the point where he thinks you're purposely not trying to harm him."

"Okay, but what about..Pearl?" Amethyst said in disgust, still thinking about what she said to her.

"We have to leave her to think. She snapped at Steven, so she's probably trying to recuperate from that incident as well."

"Wow, she really snapped at Steven? Man, what's her deal? She snaps at me than snaps at Steven? Something is definitely wrong with her." Amethyst stated.

"Amethyst, you know that's not true. She's hasn't fully moved on from Rose, and she's basically broken inside. Sooner or later were going to have to talk to her. ALL of us." Garnet explained. Amethyst nodded.

Both than went back to their rooms.


A/N: Thought I'd give you guys a short little filler chapter for you all to breathe from all the things that have been happening recently. Next chapter is when things get out of hand. It has something to do with Amethyst and Steven...you already know SneaselXRiolu. It's literally in one of our conversations. If you guys want a hint about the chapter just pm me. Btw, you don't have to review this one! It's just a filler.
