Author's Note: To take a load off from that emotional song I'm going for a romantic comedy song from the Show Galavant. This takes place in an Anti-Gravity/Permafusion AU of Relativity/Gem Kids.

Anyway just think of Stan and Ford in their teenage years and think of the Teen Crystal Gems appearances as when Greg first met them.

Ps, This one focuses on Stan and Amethyst' in their own way' helping set a romantic mood for Ford and Pearl.

Serenade (Aka Maybe You Won't Die Alone)

"Hmm, why would Stanly want me to meet him here?"

Ford stood at an entrance of The Club restaurant. Strange seems like a weird place to make their summer plans.

Ford walked to the Maitre d' "Pardon me but do you…."

"Name Mesure?" asked the Maitre d'.

"Oh my name is Stanford or Ford now…"

"Of course right this way," The Maitre d started walking away, Ford sighed and followed him.

"Your table, Mesure."

Ford walked beside him then stopped in his tracks in seeing a person he had not expected to be here.

"Pearl?"

Pearl was sitting down on a chair cleaning her spoon then stopped after seeing Ford.

"Stanford?"

"What are you doing here?" They both asked.

"Amethyst told me to meet up here for the other Crystal Gems to talk about plans for how to balance gem duties with college."

"Stanly told me to meet him here to discuss our plans for the Stan o' war this summer."

They paused after hearing each other's reasons and they both came to the same conclusion.

Ford put a hand on his head, "Pearl I think we both been played."

"Yeah, but why us?" Pearl asked.

Soon they both noticed a sign above them, with the words 'Couples Night' written. As well as each table holding different couples either flirting or kissing each other.

Ford and Pearl looked at each other and blushed at the same time. They faced away from each other, Ford fixed his glasses and Pearl mumbled how she was going to strangle Amethyst for this.

"You know," said Ford as he sat down on the opposite end of the table, "Since we are already here we might as well enjoy ourselves?"

Pearl looked at Ford, "Stanford you know I don't eat food," she paused seeing Ford's down expression, "But I-I-I always wanted to try some wine. So why the heck not."

Ford smiled as and Pearl sat down unaware of Stan and Amethyst hiding themselves with menus while watching them.

"The plan worked like a charm," said Stan.

"Well duh of course, I am a romantic genius," smirked Amethyst, "Now all we have to do is watch the nerdy love happen."

An hour has passed and all that has happened is Ford and Pearl talking about mysteries and summer plans.

Stan and Amethyst watched with boredom, neither one of them showed any romantic stuff all day.

"Some romantic genius," said Stan.

"It's not my fault," said Amethyst, "This whole Idea was to get them together and help Pearl get over that pink haired chick."

"Yeah what was her name anyway?" said Stan.

"I don't know," replied Amethyst. "Beside your Ford should be making his move. What is he over his crush on her already?"

"Ha, please Poindexter over her, now that is a joke," laughed Stan. "But your right we need to raise the mood more. But how?"

Amethyst looked back at Ford and Pearl and noticed something else. She smiled and told Stan to look behind him. Stan turned around to see what she was pointing at. He looked back at her with an eyebrow raised.

"You got to be kidding me," Amethyst just smiled as Stan shook his head, "No I am not doing that."

"Oh come on, Stan it could be fun and do it for your brother," Amethyst replied.

Stan looked at Ford and back at Amethyst, he grabbed his face and groaned, "Fine but I am not playing that irritating crumhorn."


Ford kept picking at his steak with his fork and carefully gave quick glances back at Pearl as she stirred her wine glass, she was about to take a sip when she widen her eyes and chuckled.

"Pearl, what is it?' Ford asked.

Pearl simply pointed behind him, Ford turned around and almost laughed as he saw both Stanly and Amethyst with a mariachi band and dressing like one.

"Stanly?" Ford chuckled.

"No spreakin the English senior," said Stan with a mock Spanish accent.

Amethyst stood beside Ford and Peal by the table while wearing a fake mustache and started to sing as the band played.

Amethyst: Gaze at the person across form you know.

Feel the sweet spark of connection.

Amethyst moved to Ford making him face Pearl

If you don't screw up this moment somehow.

Maybe you wont die alone.

"Amethyst," said Pearl grinding her teeth with embarrassment and rage, Then Stan appeared behind her

Stan: Don't be too needy or bring up your ex.

Pearl blushed madly and was about to hit Stan but he moved towards Ford.

"Stanly what are you and Amethyst doing?" asked Ford

Stan: Don't say she old as a T-Rex

Then Ford jumped slightly as Amethyst shapeshift her head into a T-Rex head to scare him.

Don't ever mention you never had se-

"Stanly!" shouted Ford his faced covered red in blush now sharing Pearl's combo of embarrassment and rage at the two.

Amethyst: Trust me I promise she knows.

Both Ford and Pearl where ready to get up form their seats and strangle them. When Stan turned Ford's head to face Pearl and Amethyst did the same to Pearl.

As soon as Ford and Pearl looked at each other their rage calmed leaving only the mix of embarrassment and something that both of them had for each other since the moment they first met.

Amethyst: And now her defense are starting to fall.

Smile and return her affection

Pearl smiled softly as she gazed at Ford as he did the same for her.

Stan: If you don't manage to ruin it all.

Stan and Amethyst: Maybe you won't die alone.

Soon both Pearl and Ford forgot that Stan and Amethyst where here as they looked at each other unknowingly as their hands where about to touch each other.

"Pearl?"

"Yes Stanford?"

Ford gulped and looked nervous but continued, "It's just-well ever since we where kids, every time I look at you. Well I get this strange feeling inside. Almost as if…"

"Your on fire."

"Well maybe I don't know if I want to call it that but…"

"No, Stanford your on fire!" Pearl said with panic in her voice. Ford looked at his arm seeing a small flame on his shirt.

"Oh my god!" shouted Ford as he jumped off his chair and started to panic, Pearl got up and tried to find water as Ford started to run around continuing his panic spree.

Amethyst: Don't begin screaming you'll blow the whole mood.

Stan: Maybe you won't die alone.

Then Ford rammed ran right into a wall and fell down the flame starting to grow only for Pearl to dump a water bottle on it extinguishing it.

Pearl then sat on her legs as she held on to Ford's head rubbing the bump with affection.

Stan and Amethyst smiled seeing still a sign of romance blooming.

Stan and Amethyst: Maybe you won't die alone.

Then the two fist bumped each other on a job well done.

The End.

Author's Note, Make a note do not have Stan and Amethyst help you out on a date.
