It was a few weeks after the incident of the Gems almost killing me and Steven. There were a few interesting moments that happened, such as Garnet getting a love letter from the mailman Jaime. Of course she denied his confession since she's already in a relationship. But at the moment I was watching Steven taking a quiz about which 'Crying Breakfast Friend' he was. It was a beautiful day once again in Beach City, we were near the sand. There was a ding sound that came from his phone and I was that he was Sniffling Croissant, a croissant with two dark colored legs and big eyebrows. He had blue tears running down his closed eyes.
"You are: Sniffling Croissant." Steven said smiling, on his makeshift seat, which was actually a tire next to an empty box of tools with a wrench on the ground. "You really know me internet. Hey guys!"
"Yes Steven?" Greg asked, the hood of his car was open and he plus Pearl were trying to figure out what was wrong with it.
"You guys should take this online quiz I found! It tells you what..." Steven said happily as Pearl walked over to pick up the wrench, obviously not interested. He stands up. "It tells you what character you are from 'Crying Breakfast Friends'!"
"Eh.. why?" Pearl asked.
"It's just fun to see yourself as a cartoon character!" He looks down at his phone. "Like Weeping Eggcup, who's naratic and uptight!" That was obviously Pearl. "Or Pinning Grapefruit, the insensitive older one who wishes he was a better model." Greg.
"Maybe we could do that thing after we fix the van." Greg says and they turn back around.
"Okay…" Steven says and takes my hand. "We'll go find someone else!" We ran back to the Beach House, though with our advanced hearing we were still able to hear their conversation.
"Do you understand that children's show?" Pearl asked Greg.
"I don't understand anything anymore." Greg answers. I already did the quiz, I was Spilled Milk. The stern and stubborn one who is always trying to find the simplest solution to any situation. I'm practical and crying constantly….
Steven opens the door, out of breath from the run and closes it. We look and see Amethyst holding a bunch of food, with the fridge open looking for more. She had what looked like cantaloupe, a piece of pepperoni and mushroom pizza, a classic hamburger sandwich, an apple, a large drumstick and the entire bottle of mustard. "Hey Steven, is there anymore engine oil?" Amethyst asks. My relationship with Amethyst was always for some reason, distant. "I need it for the sandwich."
"I… think that's for cars?" Steven says slowly.
"It is." I answer him.
"Well…" She shuts the door with her foot. "Is there anymore of it?" Steven walks over near Amethyst and I follow.
"Dad's probably got some from outside." Steven says pointing to the door. "Oh but.. You gotta take this online quiz!" He takes out his phone and shows it to her. "WHICH CRYING BREAKFAST FRIEND are YOU?"
Amethyst takes a seat on the counter and places down the food. "That shows really weird… Who wants to watch a cartoon about people crying?'
"I do." Steven says, looking hurt. "Even Suha took the quiz!" Amethyst didn't seem to register Steven say my name.
"Ok! Ok!" Amethyst said rolling her eyes. "What's the first question?"
"Do you ever ask without thinking?" Steven asks just as Amethyst takes the bottle of mustard making it splat all over the food.
"Nope! Never!" She says,
"Are you afraid of taking risks and trying new things?" Amethyst picks up the plate of food and stuffs it in her mouth.
"Terrified." She answers, her mouth still full of food. She licks some of the leftover mustard off her mouth.
"Can you be serious?" I ask her.
"Next question." She says to Steven, ignoring me.
"Amethyst! Are you taking this seriously?" Steven asks.
"Of course!" She says, rolling her eyes again.
"Are you insecure about your relationships and how you are perceived by other people?" Amethyst eyes widen and she freezes for a moment and looks away.
"No...Yes…. What's the right answer?!"
"There is no right answer. You're just supposed to answer honestly." Steven says and Amethyst puts her hands over her head.
"Nah, I'm bored." She walks over to the Temple Door and Steven follows.
"Wait! I have loads of more probing and personal questions to ask!" The purple Gem on the door glows and I see a glimpse of Amethyst standing in a room with purple floors and Amethyst Gems all around the wall. The door closes. It took a couple hours but eventually they came back with Amethyst in her Gem.
"What happened?!" I yelled running forward. "How-"
"It's okay, Suha, it's an illusion remember? She'll be fine." Garnet said.
"But… but…." I muttered and took a seat on the couch with Steven staring at the Gemstone.
"I knew that thing was real!" Pearl said. "When Amethyst gets back we have to go find it!" Pearl walks over to us. "How long has it been?"
"Four hours." Steven states.
"Four hours?" Pearl and I ask shocked.
"How long is she going to take?" I asked pathetically. Pearl gives me a worried look.
"She's never taken so long. What is she doing in there?" Pearl asked looking over at Garnet.
"I'm not sure." Garnet says and crosses her arms. "I was too hard on her." Steven lets out a small sigh and a white light glows from Amethyst.
"Oh! Oh! She's going back!" Steven yells as the Gem floats in the air. Steven pulls me over to Garnet and Pearl. "Alright! Everyone be supportive!"
"Why wouldn't we-"Amethyst returns, the colors of her tank top and leggings were reversed: her tank top was black with two small small slots on each side towards the bottom, and her leggings were mauve with black stars on the knees. Her right shoulder strap was fixed, on her shoulder rather than off while her boots remained while. She lands on the ground and stretches, gives us a glance and then looks to the side with her hands on her hips.
"Awe, you barely changed!" Steven yells and I smack him on his shoulder.
"Steven!" Pearl yells and Garnet walks forward, making all of us stare at her. Amethyst jumps down from the table and stares up at her, holding her breath.
"It's perfect." Garnet says smiling.
"Eh, whatevs, it's just what feels right." Amethyst says looking away.
"And that's why it's perfect." Garnet explains and moves out of the way as Pearl rushes over. She bends down smiling.
"It is a marked improvement." Pearl says happily. "You finally fixed that shoulder strap that's alwayed bugged me!" Steven runs over and gives her a hug.
"Welcome back!" Amethyst glares down but doesn't remove him from her waist.
"Well done Amethyst!" Pearl says happily giving her a hug.
"Knock it off!" Amethyst says embarrassed with a blush on her face. Garnet bends down and gives them all a hug. "We gotta go find that Slinker!"
"No! It's hug time!" Steven cheers.
"Eh! This is so dumb!" Amethyst groans, the blush still on her face. She looks over at me and I give her a smile.
"It's nice to have you back." I stated and place my hand on her shoulder. Eventually she gives a big smile once she thinks everyone isn't looking.
