Author's Note: Now this song is another Steven song but this one is set in the Relativity/Gem Kids Au. Basically starts from where I think Steven started in his childhood leading up to his adulthood. Now this is my interpretation on that version of Steven's childhood.
Some of you may know where this song comes form just by the name.
A Million Dreams
Location: England-Year: 1347 the time of the Black Death
Steven wiped his eyes as he looked upon the grave of his farther. One of the many victims of this terrible plague, It seems cruel that no matter how he and the Crystal Gems vow to protect humanity and yet there is nothing they can do for this.
In fact many people blamed them for the sickness, but they where scared and sad and people would get angry because of that, his farther on the other hand knew it was not the gems fault and he defended them until he fell.
Steven held his farther's Cittern in his hand, the last gift his farther gave him, he held it tight as he remembered his farther's words.
"My son…Stephen. Don't mind what others say just remember this you have a gift to change minds…make them kinder. Promise me you will never stop caring."
Steven placed a hand on the gravestone as a tear fell, "I promise."
Then he felt a hand on his shoulder, he turned to see Garnet looking down on him, "It's time to go."
Steven nodded and said a final goodbye to his farther and followed Garnet to the wagon, with Pearl sitting couch and Amethyst shapeshifting into a horse.
"Neigh! Come one let's get out of this dump Steven!" shouted Amethyst.
Pearl sighed, "Amethyst his name is Stephen."
"Well it's the same name," Amethyst grumbled as Garnet lifted up Steven next to Pearl as she joined them and as soon as Garnet was on, Amethyst started moving the cart.
Steven looked back on the grave and his old home one last time and then started playing the instrument, hoping to raise his spirit.
Steven: I close my eyes and I can see, a world that's waiting up for me. That I call my own.
Through the dark, through the door through where no one's been before, but it feels like home.
The cart bumped a little nearly knocking Pearl off the cart.
"Amethyst be careful!" Pearl shouted, Amethyst responded by sticking her tongue out. Steven chuckled a little at that and Garnet ruffled the young boy's head affectionately as they continued their travel
Steven: They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy. They can say, they can say I've lost my mind. I don't care, I don't' care, so call me crazy.
We can live in a world that we design.
Soon night fell, and everyone took a break from traveling as they lay down on the cart in a circle staring up at the beautiful night sky, watching as shooting starts passed the full moon.
Steven: Cause every night I lie in bed. The brightest colors fill my head a million dreams are keeping me awake.
I think of what the world could be, A vision of the one I see. A million dreams is all it's gonna take.
Steven grabbed Pearl's hand with his left and with his right he grabbed Amethyst's hand and they grabbed ahold of Garnet's as they continued their stargazing.
Steven: A million dreams for the world we're gonna make.
Location: Oregon-Year: 1863 The founding of Gravity Falls.
Now a teenager Steven (Now after being called that by Amethyst as it started to sound good to him) observed the settlers building their homes and an idea came to his head as the gems finished carving the statue on their new temple.
As they observed their work, Amethyst pointed down to Steven working on something around the temple entrances, the gems came down and Steven showed them his plans.
Steven: There's a house we can build, every room inside is filled with things from far away.
The special things I compile each one there to make you smile, on a rainy day.
Garnet gave a thumbs up on the plan as she and the others started helping Steven building the house.
Steven: They can say, they can say, it all sounds crazy. They can say, they can say, I've lost my minds.
Soon it was finished, they observed the inside of the house, Steven smiled at his guardians and they smiled warmly at him.
Steven: I don't care, I don't care if they call me crazy, runaway to a world that we design.
Steven went to the door and opened it.
Location: Previous- Year the 21st century-now.
Steven now a full grown adult stepped out of the house as little Amethyst ran out.
"Come on last one to school is a rotten egg!" she shouted.
Pearl came out angrily with her cheeks while putting her cheeks, "No fair saying it's race, you don't want to even go to school."
"Yeah but it's the last day and summer vacation is here," Amethyst said, "Now come one slow poke!" Pearl growled and chased after her.
Steven laughed at that then felt a small hand holding his. Steven smiled down at Garnet who smiled back as they followed them.
Steven: Every night I lie in bed, the brightest colors fill my head. A million dreams are keeping me awake.
They managed to reach the school with Pearl and Amethyst agreeing over who won only for Garnet to grabbed then by the back of their shirt necks and dragged them inside the building.
Steven waved goodbye and paused as he noticed the principle, Ms. Connie Maheswaran waving at the students. She soon noticed Steven looking at, causing her to blush as she waved at him.
Steven: I think of what the world could be a vision of the one I see. A million dreams is all it's gonna take.
Steven walked to her and extended his hand to her and she responded with the blush still on her face.
Steven: A Million dreams for the world we're gonna make.
A couple of months later.
Steven and Connie sat down on a log in the forest as they watched the starry sky.
Connie: However big, however small, let me be part of it all.
Share your dreams with me.
Then Connie sat up and pulled Steven off the log as they stood in the middle of the forest.
Connie: You may be right, you may be wrong but say that you're bring me along, to the world you see.
Steven and Connie placed their hands in front of each other as they gazed into their eyes.
Steven and Connie: To the world I close my eyes to see, I close my eyes to see.
Then the rested foreheads on each other as the stars showered down across the sky.
Steven: Every night I lie in bed, the brightest colors fill my head.
Connie: A million dreams are keeping me awake.
Steven: A million dreams, a million dreams.
Then the couple spinning around as the stars continued falling, almost shining down with the moon's light upon the happy couple.
Steven and Connie: I think of what the world could be. A vision of the one I see. A million dreams is all it's gonna take. A million dreams for the world we're gonna make.
Then Steven brought Connie close to him showed her a small pink box. Connie looked at him in shock as she slowly opened it reveling a pink quartz ring with his mother's symbol on it.
Connie started to tear up as Steven placed the ring on her finger then held her close as Connie managed to wrap her arms around his neck.
Steven and Connie: For the world we're gonna make.
Steven looked at his new bride with great happiness, and remembered the promise he made to his farther and even now…even never broke it.
The End.

A Million Dreams (Reprise)
Garnet lay down on the roof, looking up at the night sky. Her three eyes starring up in wonder and amazement.
"Hey I found her!" shouted Amethyst as she and Pearl climbed up and looked down on their fellow Gem kid.
"Garnet what are you doing up here?" Pearl asked.
"Watching," Garnet replied.
"Eh, watching what?" Amethyst asked. Garnet responded by pointing up at the beautiful starry night sky.
Both Pearl and Amethyst awed in the wonder of what they saw and soon the joined Garnet laying down.
All three of the Gem kids watched as the stars moved past the full moon, as they watched it almost seemed familiar to them as if they've experienced this before but they continued to watch.
Garnet: Every night I lie in bed. The Brightest colors fill my head.
A million dreams are keeping me awake.
Soon all three of them held started holding each other's hand in a circle.
Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl: I think of what the world could be, a vision of the one I see.
A million dreams is all it's gonna take.
Steven stood outside the door knowing full where of the girls are, soon that old memory came to his head along with memories of what was long ago.
Steven: A million dreams, for the world we're gonna make.
Giving a smile he went back inside letting his former guardians to continue their stargazing.
