A/N: Hello everyone, I am back with chapter thirty of this story. Here, it's wedding day.
Disclaimer: I don't own Steven Universe
It was the big day. Today was the day that Ruby and Sapphire where to wed and reform Garnet. Everything was set on the beach and the Beach City residents had arrived. In his home, Steven and the gems where making their checks.
"Okay, is the set up ready?" asked Steven.
"Made it myself." answered Bismuth proudly.
"Chairs?" asked Steven.
"Lapis and I set them up." answered Topaz.
"Flowers?" asked Steven.
"Roger!" declared Peridot.
"I don't get why you wanted to be flower girl so badly." said Amethyst.
"It is an honor to take part in such an event." said Peridot.
"You're such a nerd." joked Amethyst.
"She's my nerd." replied Lapis.
Peridot blushed while the others chuckled.
"Pearl, how is Sapphire?" asked Steven.
"She is all set." answered Pearl.
"Amethyst, how is Ruby?" asked Steven.
"Ready to go." answered Amethyst.
"Bismuth, the rings." requested Steven.
"Got them right here." said Bismuth.
Bismuth opened her right hand to reveal to rings.
"The catering is done so that's everything." said Steven.
"How are you?" asked Pearl.
"I'm okay." answered Steven.
'Then let's do this!" declared Amethyst.
"Yeah!" exclaimed the others.
The gems departed while Steven made his way outside.
"Please let everything go okay." thought Steven anxiously.
Steven and the gems headed outside. Steven said hi to the townies including his dad. He took a minute to talk with Connie as well as sharing a few words with her parents. He then stepped up to the podium. Sapphire approached first wearing her suit. Peridot threw the flowers knocking Mr. Fryman out of his chair. Ruby then appeared in her dress and walked down the aisle. Ruby stood across from Sapphire and this was the the cue.
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to celebrate Ruby and Sapphire." began Steven.
The two blushed.
"Two of my favorite people who combine into one of my favorite people. You probably know her as Garnet." continued Steven.
Several people whispered in surprise. Humans where still mostly ignorant to gems still.
"She's their love given form." stated Steven.
"Steven felt hopeful with a good start.
"Now, it's your turn to talk about them." concluded Steven.
Steven stepped back a it.
"That was good." thought Steven optimistic.
"I know this is kinda silly and all. I mean, we've been together for 5,750 years." said Ruby.
"And eight months." added Sapphire.
"How old did they just say?" asked Kofi surprised.
"i used to feel like I wasn't much good. Just one of me on my own. But when we're together,it feels like its okay to just be me." said Ruby.
Steven could help but almost aw at that.
"So I wanna be me, with you, and not even the Diamonds will come between us." said Ruby.
A confident smirk crossed the face of Ruby.
"And if they do, we'll beat them up!" declared Ruby.
Ruby began punching and kicking the air which caused Sapphire to giggle.
"Ruby, my future used to look like one single, obvious stream, unbending 'till the end of time. In an instant, you pulled me away from that destiny, and opened my eye to an explosion of instant possible futures, streaking across space and time, and obliterated by the smallest force of will." said Sapphire.
Connie's parents shared a loving glance which she and Steven caught.
"What I mean is, you changed my life. And then, I changed your life. And now, we changed our lives." said Sapphire.
"That was beautiful." thought Steven.
Steven quickly focused.
"Onto the rings." whispered Steven.
Steven waited, but nothing happened.
"Bismuth..." began Steven.
Bismuth was crying, having gotten caught up in the moment.
"Hey Bismuth..." began Steven.
Amethyst nudged Bismuth.
"That's your cue." said Amethyst.
Bismuth shook her head.
"Oh. Sorry." said Bismuth.
Bismuth got up and brought over the rings. Ruby and Sapphire put the rings on each other.
"It's almost over." thought Steven''Steven turned to Ruby.
"Ruby, do you take this gems to have and to hold, on this and ever other planet in the universe?" asked Steven.
"I do." answered Ruby.
Steven turned to Sapphire.
"And Sapphire, do you..." began Steven.
"I do." said Sapphire.
"Um...jumped the gun a bit." noted Steven.
This got some chuckles from the crowd.
"I'm just very excited." noted Sapphire.
"Nothing wrong with that." said Steven.
"Almost there." thought Steven.
Steven took a deep breath.
"Then by the power vested in me by Delmarva, I now pronounce you Garnet!" declared Steven.
The two kissed and reformed Garnet as the crowd cheered.
"It's over." said Steven relieved.
Connie walked over to make sure Steven was okay.
"How ya doing?" asked Connie.
"Good." answered Steven.
The party entered full swing as Steven watched. Pearl was talking with Sheena and Bismuth. Amethyst, Peridot, Lapis and Topaz where talking with each other.
"Steven! That's was incredible!" exclaimed Peridot excitedly.
"I'm glad you liked it." said Steven.
"How was I on flower delivery?" asked Peridot.
"Good...just try not to knock anyone out of their chair next time." answered Steven.
"Are all weddings like that?" asked Lapis curious.
"Not exactly. But, it's the general idea." answered Steven.
"I see." mused Lapis.
Lapis looked down at Peidot.
"Maybe we should get married." said Lapis.
"Oh my stars!" cried Peridot blushing.
"I was kidding, but I'm not against the idea." said Lapis.
"Do you wanna get married Topaz?" asked Connie.
"Topaz...could see Topaz doing that." answered Topaz.
Suddenly, Garnet stopped dancing.
"We need to get the humans out of here now!" declared Garnet.
Before anyone could ask, the answers arrived.
"I must say, your human wedding is more moronic than I thought." said Aquamarine.
Steven looked like a deer in the headlights.
"You aren't invited!" snapped Amethyst.
"We're crashing this little...thing." noted Emerald smugly.
Connie quickly focused her attention on Steven.
"Steven, are you okay?" asked Connie worried.
Steven didn't answer, he was frozen in place.
"Greg, we need to get the humans out of here." said Pearl.
"Right." agreed Greg worried.
"Everyone to your shelters!" ordered Nanefua.
The citizens left including a reluctant Mr. and Mrs. Maheshwaran.
"Now then..." began Garnet.
Before she could finish, the Crystal Gems where forced to dodge and car flung at them by Aquamarine.
"How dare you crash this wedding!" exclaimed a furious Garnet.
Garnet charged, butAquamarine caught her with her wand.
"How pathetic." chuckled Aquamarine.
"We'll save you!" declared Pearl.
Pearl and Amethyst attacked, but Emerald cut them off.
"It's not that easy." said Emerald.
"Think again." replied Pearl.
Pearl and Amethyst jumped aside while Bismuth, having turned her right hand into a hammer, smashed Emerald backwards.
"These two are long overdue for a bubbling." said Bismuth.
The Crystal Gems turned to Aquamarine.
"Gotta buy time." thought Aquamarine.
Aquamarine used Garnet as a shield.
"Attack me and you'll hurt your friend!" cried Aquamarine.
"You forgot this!" cried Peridot.
Peridot used her power to throw the car back at Aquamarine. Aquamarine dropped Garnet and fled while Garnet caught the car.
"Peridot knew something this big would force Aquamarine to drop me and had the faith I'd catch it." revealed Garnet.
Aquamarine and Emerald regrouped.
"I can take them out with one massive wave." said Lapis.
"You'd destroy the town." noted Amethyst.
"I have another idea." said Garnet, holding out her hand.
Pearl and Amethyst grabbed her hands forming Alexandrite.
"How come I never saw this before?!" asked Bismuth impressed.
"Now then." said Alexandrite.
Alexandrite picked up Aquamarine and Emerald.
"Perfect." cooed Emerald.
A loud zapping followed after which came an explosion of smoke. Four gems hit the ground while Aquamarine carried Emerald. Emerald had her de-stabilizer.
"That's four." said Aquamarine.
"You'll pay for that!" declared Bismuth.
Bismuth charged and attacked. Aquamarine flew up and out of the way while Emerald ducked.
"How barbaric." scoffed Emerald.
Aquamarine noticed Peridot going for the four gems.
"Oh no you don't." said Aquamarine.
Aquamarine grabbed Peridot with her wand and tossed her.
"I've got you!" declared Lapis.
Lapis flew up and caught Peridot.
"Thanks." said Peridot grateful.
"Now, to make sure these don't get lost." said Aquamarine.
Aquamarine used her wand to take control of the stones.
"Soon we'll have more to add." said Emerald.
Topaz walked over to Bismuth followed by Lapis and Peridot.
"You attack Emerald. Leave Aquamarine to me." said Topaz.
"You sure?" asked Bismuth.
"She can't use her wand now. Plus, I've got unfinished bismuth with her." answered Topaz winking.
Bismuth, Peridot and Lapis attacked Emerald who held them back with her de - stabilizer. Topaz attacked Emerald who flew too high for her.
"How pathetic." laughed Aquamarine.
Lapis saw this and had a plan.
"Peridot, can you turn on that water fountain?" asked Lapis.
Peridot used her power to turn a nearby water fountain on. Once it was going, Lapis shot a powerful jet of water that hit Aquamarine causing her to drop the gems.
"Quickly!" cried Topaz.
Lapis swooped in and grabbed Pearl's gem while Peridot jumped onto Amethyst's. Topaz split up with one half grabbing Ruby's gem while the other went for Sapphire's gem, only for Aquamarine to snatch it.
"We'll just take this for now!" declared Aquamarine.
The two fled with Aquamarine using her wand to toss another car at the gems. Bismuth caught it, but they escaped.
"I don't believe it." said Bismuth stunned.
"I'm sorry. I should have gotten both." said Topaz guilty.
"Hey, it's not your fault." noted Peridot.
Topaz did feel a bit better.
"Guys, we have another problem.
Steven was holding his legs to his chest while Connie knelt next to him.
"I did nothing." said Steven.
"You can't beat yourself up." said Connie.
"The wedding was crashed and I didn't do a thing." replied Steven.
"Steven..." began Connie.
"They got Sapphire." stated Steven.
Pearl and Amethyst returned.
"Where are they?" asked Pearl worried.
"Steven, are you okay?" asked Amethyst worried.
Before anyone could speak, Ruby returned and looked around.
"Where's Sapphire?" asked Ruby.
A/N: That's where we'll end things for now. So, the wedding was ruined and now Sapphire is a prisoner. I find funny how Steven having PTSD is now canon when this story began right before Blue Diamond arrived. Next time, the rescue is planned and Steven deals with his guilt. Please review.
