Amethyst was helping herself to a seafood buffet, she had left the table because the arguments made her uncomfertable, filling her plates to the brim, when she saw figure that looked fimiliar to her out of the corner of her eye. When she looked, she recognized it as the fusion Stevonnie. Stevonnie was running out of the doors and holding something in her(their?) hands. Amethyst quickly ate the food on her dishes before going outside to see where Stevonnie went. When Amethyst got outside, she didn't see Stevonnie anywhere near the Crab Shack. "I better tell the others, if they haven't noticed." Amethyst said to herself.
Steven and Connie, now unfused, were inside Steven's house. Connie picked up Steven's novelty backpack and ukelele. "Wait, why would we need those for running away?" Steven asked.
"I've seen people make money just by playing music on the streets, plus even if we don't make a lot of money, I've got an emergency stash." Connie answered. She started putting changes of clothes, a few snacks, and a first aid kit into the backpack.
"WAIT!" Pearl disrupted the arguing. "Where are the kids?" Garnet and Connie's mother looked to see that both Steven and Connie were gone. Amethyst came to the table outside where they were sitting.
"The kids are…" Amethyst began.
"We know Amethyst." Garnet assured her.
"They're gone AGAIN!?" Connie's mom yelled.
"We'll find them, just like last time."
Stevonnie was getting on a bus heading way down, where it's final stop would be Lousianna. They had everything they needed, Steven's ukelele, Connie's violin, some food, some clothes, and a first aid kit. The bus began to drive out of Beach City. As Stevonnie looked out the window, they didn't expect to be stopped so soon. Just then people started to scream and run to the back of the bus. Stevonnie looked to the front to see a pink feline face press it's nose against the bus's front window. Stevonnie walked out to greet Lion.
"Didn't want to be left behind did ya?" They asked the big cat. Lion purred as it rubbed itself against Stevonnie. "Alright." They said as they climbed onto his back. "Lion, to Lousianna!" Stevonnie called. Lion began to run, and eventually roared a portal when they were out of sight of the bus.
Alexandrite was looking around Beach City and where buses would be in the time that Steven and Connie supposedly left. She unfused. "This is impossible! They would be on one of the buses right now. We've got the schedule…" Pearl went on and on about how they should've been able to find them.
Garnet thought for a moment. "Where's Lion?" She asked.
