Cat Steven was missing, and Garnet couldn't find her anywhere in the beach house. The last time Garnet had seen Cat Steven, the kitten had been asleep with Lion on the porch. Though Lion still slept on the porch, Cat Steven was not with him anymore. Garnet had checked all of the places where the cat liked to hide, such as in the bathroom and kitchen cupboards, and under Steven's bed. Cat Steven liked to curl up inside or on top of bags, so Garnet had also checked Steven's Cheeseburger Backpack and Hot Dog Duffel Bag, but Cat Steven was not in either of them.
This was one of those times when Garnet's future vision felt like more of a hindrance than a help. Her future vision was showing all sorts of awful things that could happen to a little cat, like being hit by a car, or attacked by other animals...
"Hey, Garnet, look who we found!"
Garnet turned around and saw Steven and Connie, who had earlier gone off to have a picnic near the lighthouse. Connie held the picnic basket, while Steven cradled Cat Steven.
"Where did you find her?" Garnet asked, trying to keep her usual stoic tone.
"In the picnic basket," Steven explained with a smile. "I opened it and she just popped her head out."
"When we left the house, I put the basket down on the porch for a minute," Connie explained. "I noticed we forgot to pack juice, so Steven went to get some. She must have gotten in there when I wasn't looking."
Garnet gratefully took her pet from Steven and cuddled the kitten to her chest.
"Thank you."
