Connie and Steven were watching the Season 5 finale of Crying Breakfast Friends. Steven was sobbing and Connie held his hand.
"Pear! Stop! Please! Reconsider!" Sobbed Strawberry.
Pear looked at his friend before entering the lunchbox. "Goodbye!" He sobbed. The Lunchbox closed and the giant human hand took it.
"No…" Steven whispered, staring at the black screen and wiping tears away. "NOOOOO!"
Connie watched the end credits play and whispered, "I know…"
Steven got up from Connie's bed and gave a sniff. "S-So, now that you've seen the finale twice… W-what did you think of it, Connie?"
"I… I thought it was epic." Connie shrugged.
Steven sighed. "Man, I was really hoping for Pear to confess his love to Strawberry before that!"
"Oh…"
"And then they would've had a wedding… and they could go fight Dinner, together, and then Season 5 could end, but it didn't!" Steven cried.
Connie thought for a minute then nodded. "Totally! They've had too much adventure!"
"It's just… disappointing. Maybe next season. Until then, I'm just gonna have to wonder what could've been…" Steven sighed.
Connie looked at him and said, "I wish I could give you a new ending…"
Steven smiled softly and Connie blushed. Suddenly, a yellow glow emitted from her shirt. She gasped in surprise and saw the temple door open at her wish.
"The temple door! It opened for me!" Connie said, after they ran to the door. Steven's eyes were thier signature stars. "I can make anything I want in there! I can make us a new ending!"
Steven only stared in awe and Connie laughed, "Come on!"
They went into the room together. Connie threw her hands up and cried, "Tada! This is my mother's room!"
"Amazing…" Steven whispered.
"I can control it, like this." Conni then called out loudly, "I want a tiny floating whale to give me some fin!" The whale appeared and high fived her.
"Cool! How does it work?" Steven asked.
Connie smiled. "The room can make stuff out of clouds. We can make anything."
"Anything? How about the whole season 6?" Steven asked. "On a movie screen with popcorn and apple juice-"
"Whoa!" Connie laughed, slowing him down. "All I have is theories about Season 6, besides, the true writers are much better at it… Let's keep it simple!"
"Simple. Okay, well, what really matters are the characters. You should be Strawberry, since she's your favorite character."
"Okay. Room, I want to be dressed like Strawberry!" The room poofed her into a pretty red shirt with black dots to look like seeds on it and a flowing pink skirt. Her hair was tied back with a green scrunchie."Hm, I guess this'll
do since they've never made costumes in the real world."
"Cool! Okay, my turn. Room, I want to be Pear." The kids waited and Steven blinked. "Huh? Maybe it got confused?"
"Oh, sorry. I guess the room just makes things when I want it. Maybe this won't work after all…" Connie sighed.
"Why don't you just have it make a costume shop?" Steven asked.
"Oh! Great idea, Steven! Room, I want a costume shop!"
The shop appeared and Steven ran in while Connie waited outside.
"Whoa, this is amazing, Connie! They're so much material for being the character!" Steven paused. "Did you think that Pear was emerald green?"
"Did you think something different?" Connie asked nervously.
"Oh, it's fine! I just thought he was mint green. Oh! This brown hat would be great to represent his stem!"
"Uh-huh!" Connie grinned outside.
"Oh! What if Pear had a shield, then he could defend himself from enemies!"
"Totally!"
"And these boots are awesome!"
"Are you almost done?" Connie asked.
"Almost!" Steven called from inside.
Connie blushed and cried, "Come on! I want to see you!"
Steven walked out immediately after she said that and she felt her heart swell. He had his black hair sticking goofily out from under the brown cap and wore a emerald green shirt with brown pants and boots.
"You look incredible." Connie whispered.
"Aw shucks." Steven blushed.
"Come on! Let's do this!" Connie laughed, grabbing the boy's hand and pulling him away from the shop.
"So, you wanted them to get married, right?" Connie beamed.
"Sure!" Steven cried.
"Um, alright… They're here, at the altar," an altar appeared behind them. "With a cleric…" A priest appeared. "Just married." Connie poofed into a wedding dress with flowers in her hair and Steven was in a suit. "And
now, they're happily newly weds! So now, hmm, uhhh, I don't know. What do you think?"
Steven smiled back and said back, "Hmm, what do you think?"
Connie was caught slightly off guard "Well… we must defeat Dinner, so let's go and find the lunchbox. Right?"
"Yeah! That's awesome!" Steven said. The wedding things poofed away and Connie saw in the distance a giant lunchbox appear.
"Come on, Pear! Let's go to the lunch box and take back our home!" Connie cried.
"Okay!" Steven said. Connie started to run to the lunchbox and Steven followed.
They reached it and Connie said, "We did it! What now?"
"You tell me." Steven said.
He felt off somehow… Connie cough and said, "Well, er, we better pack some supplies."
A backpack appeared on her back. "We ready?"
"If you think so!" Steven replied.
Connie tilted her head in confusion. "Didn't you have a bunch of ideas? That Pear and Strawberry should fight Dinner together?"
"Sure!"
"Right…" Connie said. "Well, how about… we're stopped by the appetizers, and they guard from us seeing the mastermind behind it all…"
Appetizers with angry eyes appeared.
"And they have weapons!"
Weapons appeared.
"And… they threaten us, right?" Connie asked, the butter knives the food had pointing to her throat.
"Whatever you think!" Steven grinned.
"Um… then they attack us!" The butterknives started slashing and Connie pulled Steven behind a barrel she had wished up. "These guys are awful! What do we do?" Connie laughed, looking at Steven.
"Whatever you want to do!" Steven said, smiling as always.
"C-come on I'm really trying here! How do you want this episode to end?" Connie cried.
"How do you want this episode to end?" Steven repeated her.
"I don't know!" Connie cried, blushing furiously. "I just wanted to do this for you. This isn't really like you I-" She sighed then said, "I don't want you to just do what I want."
Steven's smile faded instantly and his eyes widened. "Uh… uh… You want me to not d-do what you want?" He grabbed his head.
Connie felt worry come over her and she attempted to touch Steven and assure him, "Steven, are you ok-?"
The boy interrupted her, making her hestatie. "I want… what you want. What you want-want-want-want-" He sounded like a broken record, saying the same thing like… a glitch?
Connie remembered the things she had said before:
"I want a tiny floating whale to give me some fin!" It had obeyed.
"I want a costume shop!" It had obeyed.
"Come on, I want to see you!" And then… Steven had walked out… No, he hadn't, the room had just obeyed her, as it always did!
Connie felt her body freeze as she looked at the Steven made of clouds. "I… I created you!" She gasped, seeing it still saying want over and over again. "You're not Steven! I must've left the real Steven back at the costume shop.
H-He could be anywhere! No, no, no, no, NO! I'm done, I'm done playing!" Connie cried, thrusting her arms out. Her clothes poof back to normal and Cloud Steven stopped, looking confused and clutching his hair. Connie stood and placed her hand
on the ground that vanished, then the lunchbox, then waved away the appetizers. She felt the imposter still there and turned, thrusting her hands out. The clouds poofed back but they didn't go away. Connie fell to the ground, panting in shock, none
/of that was real…
Suddenly, the clouds reformed the fake Steven.
"Why didn't you disappear with everything else?" Connie cried, sweating.
"You told me not to do what you wanted!" The thing hissed.
Connie gave a yell in anger, "Where is Steven?!"
She suddenly heard Steven's distant voice,
"Connie? Connie, where are you?!"
"Steven? S-Steven, Is that you?" Connie called, relieved. She started to run to the voice but the fake one grabbed her wrist, stopping her. "Urgh! Let go of me, I want to find the real Steven!" Connie cried, struggling in his
grip.
"You told me you wanted-"
"That doesn't matter!" Connie yelled, wrenching herself away. She ran, and ran, but the cloud Steven was chasing her. "Don't follow me, I don't want you to follow me!" Connie cried.
"Uh, lunchbox!" Connie yelled, swerving around it once it was made. The imposter was quick though and still ran after her. Connie started to run faster and called out, "Falcon!" for she was thinking about ways to get higher
so the thing wouldn't reach her. She leapt on but her creation grabbed the tail, following her. "Steven, can you hear me?"
"Connie? Connie?!"
"Steven, I'm almost there, just a little bit further!" Connie called. The false Steven attacked her from behind, she gave a cry and was pushed off.
"Please, I don't want you, I want the REAL Steven!" Connie growled, falling as the thing grabbed her thin arms.
Connie landed flat on the ground and the fake boy walked up behind her. "I know what you really want, I know how you REALLY feel!" Connie turned and saw the Steven was in the wedding suit that was on him before. Connie felt her heart
stop.
"Connie?" Suddenly, the real Steven ran out from the yellow clouds, he held a shield in his right hand. "Hey Connie! I found…. you?"
The fake Steven smirked and pinned Connie's arms to the ground. "Steven! I'm sorry!" Connie cried.
Steven's eyes widened in surprise but then narrowed his eyes and frowned. He ran at his poser and shoved it off Connie with a yell.
Cloud Steven gave a demented grin, running to get Connie again. Steven leapt in front of her and blocked with his shield. "Please, leave her alone! The cloud version slammed into it and Steven watched it vanish. He smiled in relief but turned
and saw the imposter near Connie.
"I know you like him!" Connie's creation said as Steven went in front of her to defend her. "And, I know you want him to like you too!"
"No!" Connie yelled, flushed and near tears in embarrassment. "Don't listen!"
Steven thrust his shield out and it vanished once more… Steven turned to Connie, worried but then the imposter appeared on top of her.
"That's why you can't tell him the truth, but you WANT to!" The thing yelled, wrapping his fist around Connie's long hair and pulling. "You wanna tell him!"
"Stop!" Connie cried, tears coming.
"Tell him, Connie!"
Connie struggled harder, grunting with effort as her creation twisted her hair to the point where it hurt.
"TELL HIM!"
Connie felt her teeth grit and then cried out, "I liked the Season 5 finale!"
Steven stopped mid-run. "What?"
"I thought it was so cool how Pear had to decide between his love for Strawberry, or the love for his home! His fate, left uncertain as Strawberry was shaking with tears rolling down her face! Those were genuine tears, Steven! I wanted
to write stories about her emotional state at that moment! I'm-I'm sorry I pretended to want them to get together early, I just didn't want you to think less of me…." Connie whispered.
"Hm, that's better." Steven's twin smiled, poofing away.
Steven walked towards Connie and she whispered, "Are you mad at me for liking the ending?"
Steven gave a small laugh. "Of course not! It's just a show. Why didn't you tell me before? That evil me was really close to hurting you…" Steven touched his heart.
"But, you really care about that show!" Connie cried.
"I care about you more." Steven grinned.
"Even though I liked that epic end scene?"
"Of course you liked the epic end scene, I mean, did you see that?! Besides, you're around those kind of problems every day!" Steven helped her up.
They exited the room, both much happier to be out together knowing each other's thoughts, than in surrounded by hidden truths….
Guys... I had a idea while rewatching Open Book the other day... The Spirit Morph Saga sounds awesome, right? ... I was thinking if enough peoplewanted it, I could make a fanfic series based on those books, like start with the first book and go down the line, telling the story of Lisa and the falcon based of what we know from Steven Universe(His name is too long tospell!) So... Tell me if you want that, because I've always wanted to read this made up saga! Tell me what you think!
