Connie and Steven happily watched a trailer on his phone.

"Some say.." A narrator said. There was flashes of a city on fire. "A cat can only have…" They saw men flying in helicopters. "nine lives…" They saw a robotic cat look up. "unless you're…"
A young boy looked at the cat and smirked. The cat nodded. "CATCOPTER 3, IN 3D!" The cat flew to a enemy and shot a missile from it's butt. "This February, the fur hits the fan."

Connie gasped in wonder. "Steven, that was incredible! I can see why you like this."

"Yeah! It has cats and robots and powerful kids, it's amazing!" Steven creid. ""Did you see where the missile came out of?"

Connie giggled. "Uh-huh!"

The warp pad lit up and the Crystal Temps appeared, posing. Steven's eyes turned to stars. "Cool…"

"Oh, hello." Jasper said.

"Ah, Steven, you're here? I… I didn't expect that at all!" Peridot cried nervously.

"We're going to watch a movie about a helicopter cat!" Connie squealed. "Show them, Steven!"

The boy grinned. "Yeah! It has lots of explosions and stuff!" He showed his phone to them and Lapis smiled. "Oh, that's easy!" She shape shifted into a double of Catcopter.

Steven looked excited.

"Who needs to see movies when you can be one?" Lapis giggled. She turned back to herself.

"Oh, Lapis!" Connie laughed. "Steven says movies can be magic!"

"Not anymore." Steven whispered in awe.

Connie skipped up to her backpack. "We're bringing our own snacks!" She cried.

Steven nodded then frowned. "How are we going to get there? The theater's pretty far away…"

"We're riding… in style."

Steven was gaping while Connie cried out, "Lion!"

She presented her bright yellow lion.

"You have a lion?!" Steven yelled in awe.

"Yeah! Do you want to pet-"

Steven ran up and hugged the lion's mane. "It's so soft!"

"He kinda does what he wants." Connie giggled.

"Connie, you're life is so cool and magic packed!" Steven sighed. "The most exciting thing I do is help my dad at the carwash." He picked up a round leaf and guarded himself with it. "Hubbing the tires," He waved the
leaf in a circular motion. "Hosing the car," He swiftly moved the leaf. "and my fav, sponge destruction bomb!" He yelled, thrusting the leaf shield in front of him.

"Whoa… Car washes are awesome!" Connie creid.

"My dad and I made that last one up together." Steven blushed.

Connie heard Lion yawn. "I think he's saying to go."

They climbed on his back, Connie in the front. "Let's go to the movies!" She cried. The lion went up… and nothing happened.

"And… go!" Connie cried.

Lion yawned.

"Lion, please take us to the movie?" Connie pleaded. She turned to Steven. "Er, sorry… He doesn't have much training… but then again, neither am I."

Lion's ear twitched. He suddenly roared and ran off. The children laughed in joy .

Lion turned to the ocean and ran to it.

"Lion?" Connie gasped. "Lion, don't go in the ocean!" She yelled.

The lion leapt onto the water and Connie realized they hadn't sunk. They looked down to see they were walking on water!

"That's so cool!" Steven yelled.

"Why don't you tell me the things you do?!" Connie squealed to Lion as he bolted off. The children laughed with glee. Connie brushed her hair out of Steven's face and her eyes were shimmering. He blushed. They went past a boat
of shocked sailors and laughed.

"Hey Connie," Steven yelled. "does Lion know where's he's going? I mean… he is a magic lion but he's not getting anywhere close!"

"Um, maybe this is… a short cut?" Connie chuckled nervously.

Lion suddenly roared a a ring of yellow came from his mouth. A portal appeared. Connie and Steven screamed in horror as he leapt in.

"Cool! Does he do stuff like this all the time?!" Steven asked.

"Well…" Connie blushed.

"I expect he does!"

Lion landed in a room with a platform in the center. Connie looked around.

"Are you okay?" Connie sighed in worry, helping Steven up.

"That… was the coolest thing I've ever seen."

Lion roared quietly and got their attention. He stepped near the platform.

"Where are you going?" Connie asked, getting up and chasing after Lion up some stairs. Steven followed and looked around in amazement. "Is this one of the magic gem places you've been telling me about?"

Connie's foot touched the platform and it sprang to life. She gasped and watched a yellow hand pedestal with her mother's symbol on it come up. "Yep… Magic gem place."

They ran to the pedestal.

"Lion, I'm normally all about this stuff, but we need to get to the movies." Connie said.

Lion roared softly.

"What does that even mean?!" Connie creid in agony. Steven bent down to look at the pedestal.

Steven put his hand on the structure and moved it along. "Connie… what if this has something to do with your magical destiny?" He said with stars in his eyes.

"Well, maybe it does, but if we don't hurry, we're gonna miss the commercials, and then we might miss the previews, and we still have to find the perfect seats, near the front but not too close." Steven grabbed her hand and placed
it on the pedestal. The children gasped as the space around them turned white.

"It definitely likes you!" Steven gasped.

Connie tried to get her hand off but couldn't. "Uh… my hand's stuck!" She cried out.

Steven turned to her and tried to help her get it off. They grunted in pain as they pulled harder, sweat coming down their faces.

"Man, that's stuck on good!" Steven panted. "Oh no, we're gonna have to chop it off!"

"WHAT?!" Connie cried.

Suddenly, a whole display of swords shot out of the platform.

"Whoa! Swords!" Steven creid.

"No!" Connie yelled. The swords went back.

"How did you do that?!" Steven gasped.

"I don't know…" Connie whispered.

"Can you do it again?" Steven whispered with stars in his eyes.

"Er, I can sure try!" Connie laughed. She tried certain things but nothing worked.

Steven accidentally poked her in the shoulder and she glanced at him. "What are you-"

He pulled her ear and she flinched in pain. "Hey!"

He looked at her. "Hm… maybe if I…" He poked her tummy and she giggled. "Hey! That tickles!" She laughed sweetly.

Suddenly, a whole array of armor rose up.

They gasped in wonder.

Connie turned to Steven with diamonds in her eyes. "Press my nose!" She cried.

Steven booped it and three electric cannons rose from the platform.

"Next!" Steven creid. He grabbed the corners of Connie's mouth and pulled. A bunch of axes came up.

"Axes!" They creid.

"Giant chain balls!"

"A giant…"

Connie tilted her head. "penny?"

"Does that mean it worth more than a regular penny?" Steven asked.

"It makes… cents!" Connie said, grinning.

The two burst into laughter.

Steven's happy smile faded. "This is so fun… but I feel like this is your destiny, not mine. I don't think I'm supposed to be here…"

"I want you here! I mean, I don't want you here." Connie blushed. "I guess Lion wants us here. But I want us to be at the movies! And I want to see lots of explosions too."

Suddenly, the platform lost its glow and Connie glanced down. "That's…. not good."

A robot suddenly came out and they gasped.

"Also not good!" Connie cried.

"Lion seems fine with it…" Steven said.

Suddenly, the robot fired a ball of electricity at them.

"RUN!" Connie screamed. The two scattered in opposite directions.

"Steven!" Connie called, running from the robot.

"Connie! Look out!" Steven cried, avoiding a shot.

Connie gasped as ice was shot at her. She grabbed Steven and formed a bubble around them both. The robot fired and destroyed the shield, leaving the children shaking in a ring of fire.

Connie noticed Lion nearby and called, "Lion, get us out of here! Lion, please help us!"

Lion leapt to them and crouched down. They climbed up and he bounded away, creating a portal and leaping into it.

Lion landed and Connie looked over to see a shocked ticket woman. "Now you take us to the movies?!"

Lion sat down, causing them both to roll off.

Steven winched as he gingerly touched a burn.

"Oh dear," Connie sighed, taking off her backpack. She took out a apple soda. "Here, Steven… sorry it's not that cold."

Steven pressed it to the burn and smiled weakly. "T-That's alright… thanks, Connie."

"Right. We should go in and-" Connie was interrupted by Steven's cough.

"It's okay… Let's just forget about it…" He sighed.

Connie reached out her hand to Steven. "I'm sorry. I ruined everything, didn't I? I don't know why you hang out with me. I mess stuff up all the time."

Steven laughed sadly. "Connie, I don't know why you hang out with me! I'm so boring compared to you! I'm not a magical boy with a magical destiny…. Why would a hero like you even care about something like Catcopter?"

"Why?!" Connie creid in excitement. "Because it's Catcopter! She's a cat and a helicopter and a cop! She shoots missiles out of her rear end, and she's gonna save the world! Catcopter is very cool and important... to me."

Steven's smile faulted. "I'm no Catcopter…"

Suddenly, a car behind him exploded. They screamed in surprise and Lion snarled at the portal, them seeing the same robot had followed them and was stuck in the portal.

"Lion, what are we to do?!" Connie creid. The lion bent down to his mistress and his head glowed. The hilt of a sword with her mother's symbol appeared. Connie stared in wonder. She and Steven unsheathed the sword. "My mother's
sword… It's… glorious." Connie uttered while Steven yelled, "IT HAS A SWORD IN IT'S HEAD?!"

Connie still stared, mistified. "Connie! Watch out!" Steven creid. He grabbed the sword's hilt and turned it's thick blade flat so it would shield them. Connie and Steven watched the flames evaporate and looked at each other amazed.
Steven helped Connie shield herself by spinning the sword around, "hubbing the tires!" He yelled. He swung it swiftly upward, "hosing the car!"

The children yelled together, thrusting out the sword, "SPONGE… DESTRUCTION BOMB!"

The fireball hurtled into the robot, destroying it…

Steven smiled and whispered, "Just like… washing a car."

"Except we're washing the world of evil…" Connie added softly.

They turned to the shocked ticket lady and smiled.

Connie looked happy and innocent. "Hi there!"

"Er, hello." The teenager said. They walked up. "Two kids and one lion to see Catcopter please!"

"Do you… have a rewards card?"
