Author's Note: Hey guys this is the 30th chapter of this fic and it is another song request from 616mcu as well as the first song fic for the new Universe Falls AU Crystal Falls.
He requested the song be set after this world's version of Jailbreak but while listing to the song itself I've decided to set it after this worlds version of Raising the Barn. Hope you don't mind.
Oh almost forgot, the song I'm using is from the Dreamworks movie Trolls.
True Colors.
Steven walked across the crystal fields that where once covered by the shadow of the Earth ship that rested near Diamond Lake. But now the ship and it's sole occupant is gone, once again leaving Homeworld and everyone behind.
For awhile three girls stood by the lake looking at the sky, now there is only one, Mabel the sister of the one who left with the ship, leaving her…again.
"Mabel?" Steven asked slowly coming up to his childhood friend.
"How's Pacifica doing?" Mabel said without taking her eyes of the sky.
"Well she is staying at the temple, Mom helped made a room for her," Steven scratched the back of his head, "She still upset after…well you know."
Mabel lowered her head, thinking that he made her feel worse Steven tired to say something positive, "But she still has that Geodite. So she wont feel alone."
Why did that feel like he just made it worse?
Mabel gave Steven a sad glance then looked back up the sky.
"Steven, tell me the truth, if I said that I was selfish would you agree with me?"
"What you, Mabel don't be silly," Steven said walking up to her but stopping by her side, "Your not selfish, your kind, brave, smart, cue-I mean combat ready."
Steven blushed a bit then coughed into his arm, "You are many things, Mabel. Many good things but you are not selfish."
Mabel chuckled a little at her friends actions to make her feel better, but she sighed looking up at the sky, still remembering Dipper's sad look from the ships windows as it took off.
"It's just I wanted him to stay this time."
Steven sighed, "I know Mabel we all did, but we understand why Dipper left he…"
"I know why, you don't have to remind me, Steven," said Mabel her voice sounding a little harsh, "But after everything we've been though, getting him free from Bill, stopping the Diamond's plans."
A tear managed to fall off her face but still Mabel continued to look up, "When he wanted to leave, I was thinking of changing his mind, maybe knocking him out because…I'm tired of all ways losing him. I wanted to tell him to stop being scared and start fighting your fears. But I took his feelings into consideration." Mabel used her sleeves to wipe the tears from her eyes.
"I just had to think of his feelings, I had to be the good sister, when he got into that ship I was thinking of reason to get him to stay but I could not force him, if I did I be no better then Bill."
Mabel finally lowered her head in shame, "Steven just go home, if Stan or Ford call tell them I'll be back soon."
Steven looked sadly at her, seeing Mabel's shoulders shaking and trying to hold back more tears.
He hatted seeing her like this among everyone he knew Mabel did not deserve to feel this horrible soon an Idea entered Steven's head.
Mabel heard Steven getting up and walking away, she did not look back she just kept on looking down and watched the lake.
Steven: You with the sad eyes.
Mabel raised her head and turned around, Steven was still there and Mabel noticed that Steven had brought his banjo with him.
He did not play it he just held it in his hands as he looked at Mabel with a small smile.
Steven: Don't be discouraged.
Steven started walking up to her again but did not sit down, he stood between her and the lake and made sure she was only looking at him as he started to softly play his instrument.
Steven: Oh, I realized, it's hard to take courage. In a world full of people, you can lose sight of it all.
The darkness inside you can make you feel so small.
Then one by one the crystals by the lake started to glow. Each with a different color and a gently sound emanating from them as if they where trying to sing along with him.
Steven chuckled at that as he looked to Mabel, she sighed as she stood up and looked away from Steven.
She tried looking back up but the shine and sounds made her look back at the Crystals. She watched them glow and remembered a time back when she and Dipper where small they would play peek-a-boo around those crystals and every time they glow and sing they would shout peek-a-boo.
That memory made Mabel smile a little and turned back at Steven as he continued playing.
Steven: Show me a smile then. Don't be unhappy can't remember when I last saw you laughing.
Almost seeing a staring smile, Steven walked to the lake and did a slide, causing some splashes near Mabel. Of course he almost tripped but Steven caught himself, which caused Mabel to smile and chuckle.
Steven: This world makes you crazy and you've taken all you can bear.
Just call me up and I will always be there.
Steven watched as all the crystals carefully, getting ready.
Steven: And I see your true colors shining though.
Soon all of the crystals shined each with its own color making the field look like Steven and Mabel where standing on a rainbow, Mabel smile widen as the light reflected the lake as it sparkled with the crystals light.
Steven looked at Mabel as she started twirling around the lights, watching this beautiful scene made him blush and giving him some extra bit of courage to say what he always wanted to say.
Steven: I see your true colors, and that's why I love you.
Mabel paused after hearing what Steven just said, she turned around fast looking at him with eyes widen.
Steven turned away, his face completely red from both blushing and embarrassing himself for saying that in front of her.
Then he felt Mabel's hand on his cheek as she turned his head to face hers. But not before she kissed him on the cheek.
The boy's eyes widen in shock then replaced with a smile as he touched his cheek.
Mabel: So don't be afraid.
Mabel took Steven's hand with hers and held it gently.
Steven and Mabel: To let them show.
Your true colors, true colors are beautiful.
Rose Quartz walked across the Crystals looking for her son when she spotted him. She was about to call him when she saw him dancing with Mabel.
Rose quickly hid behind one of the large crystals and watched them.
Steven: I see your true colors shining through.
Mabel: True colors.
Steven: I see your true colors.
Steven and Mabel: And that's why I love you.
Rose gasped after hearing that then she smiled as she continued watching them with memoires of long ago dancing in her head.
Steven and Mabel: So don't be afraid, to let them show.
Steven: Your true colors.
Mabel: True colors.
Steven and Mabel: Are beautiful.
The couple stopped as they looked at each other as the crystal's light stated to die down a little unlike their smiles.
Steven: Like a rainbow.
Mabel: Ooohhhhooohhh, like a rainbow.
Three smaller crystals let out a final tune as their song slowly came to an end.
Mabel walked up to Steven and laid her head on his shoulder as Steven smiled nervously with his face still blushing red along side Mabel's face.
Rose looked at them her smile still there.
"Oh Greg," she said softly, "I wish you where here to see this."
The End.
Author's Note: Well I think this one was pretty good if I do say so myself. Epically for the 30th chapter on this and hopefully I'll get to 50…maybe.
