Ch.3

Here's the third chapter for ya! Thanks to those who reviewed! Now we found out where Pizza Steve went.


The UG group are sitting on the couch along with Steven while the Gems are looking them like they have done a terrible crime and having 3 heads. Mister Gus is finishing wrapping up his explanation that took them a decent amount of time, the sun is almost gone from the horizon and nighttime is settling in. "And that's how we ended up here...all because of some blue stone suddenly showed up in our world and transported us here" he said. Pearl looked at the dinosaur with a concerned look "Blue stone? You mean a blue gemstone?"

"I think it was and it was in this pink bubble" The Gems looked a bit upset at Steven, whose's eyes drifted to the floor in shame "I see..." Pearl said. Belly Bag can feel the tension beginning to emerge between them, but he quickly came with up a quick relief "But it's great you're having us here! We're the good guys! We love helping out people with problems" He stated, excitedly. The Gems looked at him weird. "Why of course we do!" Uncle Grandpa agreed which made Steven smile.

"See guys? They're not so bad and they're not enemies" He said

"Heh Steven is right" Mister Gus played along "Back in our world we've been helping people and animals all around and we tend to get the job done..we may be able to help you guys out with anything"

Giant Flying Tiger roared.

The Gems exchanged looks in a way which they're not so sure about the idea of having them to help out. How will they help? They have no idea what or who they're dealing with nor able to understand what they're going through. Steven doesn't think that.

"So uh well since they're here...Pearl? Can they stay with us for a while?" He grinned. Pearl just stared at him like he lost his mind, not knowing what to answer "Uh I don't know..Steven we're not so sure about this" She looked a bit worried, biting her lower lip. "Come on Pearl, these guys are heroes..and we need all the help we can get, just give them a chance...please?"

The half-gem,half-human put on a sad puppy face that caused the Gems to create a huddle formation, whispered to among themselves for a good minute or two, then they broke off. Pearl let out a deep sigh "Alright fine Steven..we will let them know" She turned her attention on Uncle Grandpa and his friends

"Um by the way..we haven't quite got your names yet as we weren't properly introduced" She assured, lifting a finger. "Oh please allow me!" shouted Belly Bag, pointing out to his buddies and to himself "I'm Belly Bag! This guy here is Uncle Grandpa, that's Giant Flying Tiger, Mister Gus and uh...hey where's Pizza Steve?" He wondered as he looked around

Mister Gus noticed too "Oh hey where did he go?"

"He probably ran off when you guys were about to fight" Steven reminded them. Pearl was bewildered "Who is Pizza Steve?"

As they kept chattering about this "Pizza Steve" person, Amethyst let out a bored sigh, looking uninterested she rolled her eyes over to the left, that's when she spotted something on the floor. It was light brown and a little bit of yellow near the door, she tilted her head slightly, wondering what that thing is and quickly realized what it is. A slice of pizza which is one of the human foods she likes to eat. The lavender Gem narrowed her eyes and a smug slowly appeared on her face "Ah nice..."

She looked back at the rest, they're still chattering up a storm which is a perfect time for her. "Hmm" she slowly paced away from the group and find herself looming over the pizza slice with the bottom crust exposed with a light golden brown honeycomb texture to it. Not bugging her one bit, she scooped it up, flipped it over showing the cheesy side. "Nice" she said and attempted to eat it. A pair of eyes shot open all of a sudden and screeched "Ahhh! Don't eat me!" which made her scream, then the pizza screamed, she screamed and they both screamed. She chucked him at the window, followed by a splat. The rest looked at her hearing the screams.

"Amethyst! What's wrong! And what is that on the window?" Pearl yelled. Amethyst just stood there, looking at the splattered slice. "I found a screaming pizza slice" she answered in a calm tone

Mister Gus chuckled "Yep, there's Pizza Steve on the window heh heh"

"Not much of a window hugger if you ask me" Uncle Grandpa said

Pizza Steve was all over the window, then he slid off slowly and onto the floor which he jumped up returning to normal. Dusted himself off and put his shades back on. Went to Uncle Grandpa and hopped onto his shoulder. "So uh you are Pizza Steve correct?" Pearl asked

"The one and only coolest pizza slice on the block" He answered calmly, fixing his shades "Ain't that right Uncle G?"

"Heh you know it bro" Uncle Grandpa replied

Garnet was silent the whole time "A talking bag and a talking pizza slice...this is kinda weird" She muttered

"Great! Since that's outta the way...we like to introduce ourselves...,my name is Pearl" Pearl said.

Garnet unfolded her arms "I'm Garnet"

"And I'm Amethyst" Amethyst yawned

"We are the Crystal Gems...and welcome to our home I suppose" Pearl continued, letting the UG crew know why they're really are as she turned her attention on the reality-warping man "Uncle Grandpa? Would you happen to be Greg's brother...and father right?" She raised an eyebrow when she questioned him.

"That'll probably explain a lot of things" Garnet said, crossing her arms again

"You are right Pearl!" Belly Bag shouted "He's not just Steven's uncle and grandpa..." At this this point, Uncle Grandpa's head came off, flew up into the air, into outer space within a few seconds and began to revolve around the Earth. Followed by Steven's, Pearl's, Amethyst's and Garnet's heads that magically came off too. "He's everybody's in the world's uncle grandpa! When he comes to visit, it'll be a time you'll never forget!"

The Gems were freaking out, with the stammering "uhs" while Steven was actually having fun "Awesome! We're in outer space!" Grinning with his eyes closed as they continued to orbit the Earth.

Then they went back down in a split second as each of their heads return to the correct body. Pearl's eye was twitching and she started breathing rapidly looking as she's about to faint. Amethyst was feeling her head all around "Wow..that was pretty trippy" she commented. Garnet just shuddered as if she has chills.

A mini Earth appeared, sticking out its tongue going "Bleh!"making Uncle Grandpa's and Steven's head come out. Mister Gus smirked at them "Heh that was pretty good Uncle Grandpa.."

"Thanks Mister Gus!" Uncle Grandpa said

"That was..pretty awesome! Let's do that again!" Steven exclaimed

"Did that answer your question Pearl?" Belly Bag asked

Pearl forced a smile, sweat beads dripped down on her forehead "Uh yes that was a very detailed explanation..." Then she looked at the still excited Steven "Uh Steven may we have a word with you?"

Steven's expression changed immediately "Aww..right now?" he complained as Pearl still has the forced smile, looking anxious "Yes Steven right now"

"Ok then..." He hopped off the couch and walked along with Pearl, who then signaled Garnet to come along as they made their way towards the door. Pearl suddenly shouted "Amethyst! Make sure to keep our..."guests" company" she strained that one word and then they went inside her room.

It was silent in the main room for a little bit...it was awkward in fact as they kept looking at each other. Belly Bag spoke up "Is Pearl the leader? She seems to act like one"

Amethyst breathed in and out through her nostrils "No not really, that would happen to be Garnet, she's kinda like a leader but Pearl...badly wants to be one" She answered in a bored tone "And it really gets on my nerves sometimes" She feels like she doesn't want to talk or have them into her business.

"But hey at least you're friends with her...that's important" Belly Bag assumed

"Yeah! Pizza Steve gets on my nerves almost everyday and we're friends still" Mister Gus said. The pizza slice just looked at him, hands at hips. Not sure if making a point or making fun of him..either way he feels offended.

"Yeah I guess so...so uh what do you guys do for fun?" She asked. The UG crew faces lit up...literally. Uncle Grandpa suddenly appeared in front of her,startling her. "I'm glad you asked Amethyst!" He reached into Belly Bag and pulled out a pack of gum. "Wanna see some bubble animals?"

Amethyst looked at it "Uh sure Uncle Grandpa" she hesitated. He shoved the whole pack into his mouth and start chewing away. The Uncle Grandpa intro theme started to kick in. Pizza Steve, Mister Gus and Belly Bag cheered him on saying "Go! Go! Go!" and Tiger roared. Uncle Grandpa took out the gum and began shaping it into different kinds of animals.


In Pearl's Room...

Steven, Pearl and Garnet are standing on the top of the biggest water fountain in the room. The Gems were confronting the boy.

"Steven I thought you sent the message gemstone to our Homeworld" Pearl said "Because apparently those people in our home are not Gems"

"I know Pearl but if they were..they'll be the strangest looking Gems we've ever seen" Steven said, trying to relief tension but it failed. Pearl crossed her arms looking upset. Steven sighed "Alright..I may have aimed a little low and bounced off the warp pad steps"

Pearl and Garnet were a bit shocked "That's what caused the gemstone to go their world?" Pearl asked, looking at Garnet, who shrugged

"I guess that's the reason how they got here.." She simply said

"Well that doesn't matter..the point is what are we going to do with that...Uncle Grandpa person" Pearl's face has a worried expression "Steven, he's a powerful reality-warping entity and he can be a danger to time and space itself"

"Like how he managed to get us into outer space and got our heads magically come out of our bodies?" Steven stated that sounded like a question

"Yes that!" The tall, lanky Gem exaggerated, shuddering

"That can't be the only reason they're here...maybe they came for another reason" Steven started "They probably came here to help us with our problems...and maybe they can help us with our missions!" He suggested with lots of enthusiasm

"No! No! Absolutely not!" Pearl declined "We still don't know what other powers Uncle Grandpa and his friends are capable of!" This made Steven frown

"Aw come on Pearl it's worth a shot! Like I said before...let's give them a chance. Help them prove they're worthy..please Pearl?" Pearl looked at Garnet, standing still "Can be worth a try" She spoke. Pearl knew she couldn't win or get out of this one as she looked at Steven's shining star-shaped pupils which made her sigh in defeat.

"Alright Steven...fine we will tell them..but in the meantime we always keep an eye on them as I don't trust them"

"And train them if they can handle themselves in a fight" Garnet added

"Great! I'll set up the extra bed-sheets and a movie for tonight and I can give them a tour around Beach City tomorrow at noon" Steven chimed in

"I guess that settles it...let's get back to the main room and see how Amethyst is doing with them" They all made their way back to the main room


As they made their way back into the room, a horde of laughter can heard echoing throughout the house...it was Amethyst, Uncle Grandpa and his friends busting their guts laughing, Pizza Steve was on the table banging his hands banging on it, Giant Flying Tiger's head is rotating in a circle. "Oh! Oh! I got a good one! Feast on your eyes on this!" She shaped shifted into Uncle Grandpa, getting every detail of him correct. "Good morning!" She tried an impression which was quite decent.

"Ha! Ha! Ha! Hey nice Belly Bag replication Amethyst" He complimented, looking at the purple fanny pack. "I'll say Uncle Grandpa" Belly Bag agreed

"Thanks, I did had a fanny pack once..but I don't know where it went it and it had an electric skull in it..." She then saw Steven,Garnet and Pearl entering. "Heh took you guys long enough" She shaped shifted back to her normal form, to her black and grey outfit. Which made Pearl put on an annoyed face "We were only there for like a few minutes"

"Still, you took too long P"

Pearl ignored her and turned her attention on the UG group,waiting for her to say something. "Okay..uh Uncle Grandpa?" she began. "Good morning" He answered

"Yes...the Gems and I came to a final decision..you and your friends can stay with us for a while" She announced. The UG crew and Steven all cheered "Yay!"

Later that night...

"Okay guys...I got a movie you guys will probably like" Steven said, carrying a movie case. "Really? What movie is it?" Mister Gus said

"An awesome movie called..." He flipped the case over which it caught Pizza Steve's full attention "Lonely Blade V! An even better sequel to the other sequel..." He whispered for a dramatic effect "You guys wanna watch it?" He asked "It has butt-kicking karate and cool scenes of sword-fighting!"

"Would I?!" Pizza Steve exclaimed, as he stood on the case "You know as a matter of fact Steven...I happen to be the master of..Italian Karate!" He did a back-flip and made sound effects "He-yah! Ha! Woo! Wa-cha!" He performed his "moves" which made Mister Gus mutter under his breath. "Awesome Pizza Steve, maybe you can teach me some of your moves"

"When the time comes perhaps...I'll teach you the ways"

"Alright let's go see the movie!" Steven and Mister Gus went up the steps, Tiger flew up with her rainbow farts along the Pizza Steve. They sat down in front of Steven's bed while Steven sat on the edge of his bed. "Hey Uncle Grandpa! Care to do the honor?" He waved the movie case in the air. "Sure!" Uncle Grandpa replied who is downstairs
"Hey Uncle Grandpa!" He called out, another Uncle Grandpa appeared from behind the TV "What?" he asked

"You mind putting the movie in?"

"Sure thing!" Uncle Grandpa stretched his arm, grabbing the movie case, taking out a VHS tape and shoved it into the VHS slot. He rolled over the TV, stopping besides Mister Gus. "Belly Bag, bring out the biggest popcorn you got!"

"You got it! Bleeehhh!" A very large bag of popcorn appeared on his tongue, enough to share with everyone. Then the lights went off and the movie began to show the title and credits. This is gonna be a long night.
