Sorry for not posting anything, got writers for a while block :L. Think I was able to get out of it though.
Chapter 6: Where Is He?
"R-really?" Steven muttered with diamonds in his eyes. "Mhm, and the first thing I'm going to teach you is how to Shapeshift.". "Awesome~." Steven jumped around, no longer in control of his excitement. Rose placed her hands on his shoulder calming him down. "Okay Steven, Shapeshifting is when someone changes their appearance to match what they want whether it be a person, object, animal, or even extending your arms like you did before.". " Wait how did you know I was able to stretch my arms?" Steven asked. Rose gave a chuckle "Well, because your arm is stretched right now and you haven't noticed yet.". Steven looked at his right arm realising it was extended and laying on the floor.
He retracted his arm back to normal lengths then turned his attention back to his mother."That and I am also able to see what you see Steven." Rose said in a soft tone. "Well let's get down to business, shall we?" She said while picking herself up. " I'm ready" steven said. " Now then, to Shapeshift steven you need to picture the object you want to turn Into. Once you've done that imagine yourself as that object, and feel like the object. Once you can do that" *rose Shapeshifted into a pink lion* she gave have a loud roar. "You're one step closer to mastering your gem.". Steven was ready, his blood was pumping,"Okay! Vision what I want to be... Now become it..." Steven Closed his eyes focusing on becoming what he envisioned. His gem glowed a bright pink and his body turned into energy. Steven grew taller and toned with slick hair, a tiger nose with a red dress shirt that had suspenders. And for a final touch he had a tie that had a golden cash sign at the end.
"Is that Tiger Millionaire?" Rose questioned. "Yup, I thought since I came up with the idea of Tiger millionaire back when I couldn't Shapeshift. I should turn into him since I'm learning now..." he said with a shy expression."Are you thinking about Amethyst?" Rose asked concerned. "Well after everything that's happened so far, I think they're worried about me" he said with his head down. He felt his mother's hands cup his face, and guided his head so that they were looking at each others eyes.
"Steven I love you so much, and every time you were in danger I worried about you. Steven, I am half of you and I need you to know that every moment you love being yourself, that's me loving you, and loving being you. Because you are something extraordinary. You are a human being. There are things that we didn't understand because we are Gems. So I need you to take care of them and teach them. okay?" She said heartwarmingly. Stevens eyes Glistened with diamonds, and he was on the verge of tearing."I will mom" he said with a tearful voice. Rose gave Steven a smile and kissed his forehead.
When steven closed his eyes and opened them again he was back in his mothers room, still holding onto the book that laid on the pedestal. He stumbled getting back up His vision bit hazy. He rubbed his eyes with his free hand. He flinched to a cold touch to his eye. "woah" He muttered in surprise. He examined his hand and noticed the same black gem he seen in his dreams before was slowly retreating into hand. He watched with no expression on his face at the gem disappeared into his skin. {I hope you were watching mom, cause this is just getting weird}. The pedestal imploded into clouds and so did the book. He was now in a empty room with the same scenery. "The Gems are probably looking for me right now, I better go find them but first things first…How do I get out of here?" he said looking lost.
Greg was at the car wash laying down in the back of his van thinking about steven and where he was. Opera music was being played on the radio on low almost mute but just enough for Greg to hear. A finger tapping on glass could be heard. He fixed his gaze to the tapping finger, Amethyst was on the other side of the glass. "Hey Greg." She said waving her hand, He ignored Amethysts gesture and faced the wall of his van. " Fine, Then I guess you don't want to know that Stevens missing." she said annoyed trying to get Greg's attention. The back door to the van slowly opened "Stevens missing?" "Umm, yes, and no, He came out of his gem, got breakfast and a few minutes later he disappeared. I was wondering if you seen him, but just by looking at you… I don't think you have.".
"Well, do you know where he might be?" Greg asked concerned. "Yea somewhere in Beach City, Pearl, and I are searching the city right now and Garnet is checking the warp pad just in case he might have gone somewhere, and I was wondering if you could help us look for steven…". Greg nodded and made his way to the driver seat. "How long has Steven been missing for?". "5…..hours…" She said digging her head in between her shoulders. Greg took in a deep breath before starting up his van. "Hopefully Pearl found him by now" Greg drove off, leaving Amethyst back at the car wash." Thanks for the information Amethyst I really appreciate your help. Would you like a ride back to the temple?" She said Mimicking Greg's voice. "Sure it's the least I can do to try and help finding Steven." She said as she walked away from the car wash and down the boardwalk.
The warp pad activated Revealing Garnet, she had a pair of goggles on and a blob of lava dripping from her shoulder. "He's not In the earth's crust." She said tonelessly, changing her goggles into shades. "We searched the whole town and no sign of Steven. The only thing that left is the waffle bag he left on the countertop, Before he disappeared." Pearl said with the waffle bag in her hands. "Where else can he be?" Greg stated. "Could he be at connies House?" Amethyst suggested. "hmm" Pearl hummed putting down the bag and reaching for the phone and dialed Connie's number. "Hello? Hi connie this is Pearl. Connie, I wanted to know have you seen Steven at all today?...oh, no-no nothings wrong I just-... Umm I think the phone is disconnecting-Gotta go, Bye." She hung up the phone letting out a sigh of relief. Pearl noticed everyone was looking at her. Her cheeks turned a Darker shade of blue, "she started to ask questions….I panicked" she said admittedly. " And Connie hasn't seen steven neither." Everyone but garnet gave a sigh and wondered where Steven had gone.{Where are you Steven?} Greg thought Twiddling his thumbs.
Yeah short chapter. I'll try to make up for this chapter in the next one.
