Thanks to all the people who reviewed, favorited, and followed my fic! Anyway, enjoy Chapter 2!
Chapter 2: Confrontation Preparation
Steven was in his room. He was thinking about the inevitability of confronting the gems about Lapis Lazuli. It would have to happen eventually, so he figured he should do it now. But right now the gems were out on a mission without him (which was rather rare at this point). He sighed. It was always boring when this happened, especially when he needed to talk to them, like now. He decided that he would go to the Big Donut to take his mind off of things. He walked out of the house, and went downstairs from the deck. It was mid-evening. The sun was about set. It was a beautiful day, as always in Beach City. Days like this made him think about another beautiful thing-his mother Rose Quartz. He always had, and always would miss her-even though he WAS her, in a way. He walked in the door of the Big Donut. Sadie was there, but Lars was not. He was probably in the break room.
"Oh, hi Steven!" Sadie said, straightening herself behind the counter. "What will it be this evening?"
"Just the usual, please." Steven said, rather solemnly.
"Oh, what's wrong, Steven?" Sadie asked, as she bagged his donuts.
"Nothing. I… just have a lot on my mind. You know, gem stuff." Steven responded.
"That's too bad," she said. "Here are your donuts!"
"Thanks, Sadie." he said, still solemn.
"Oh yeah, Steven! The gems came here and left me a note for you! Here you go!"
Sadie handed the note to Steven. It read:
Dear Steven,
Just as you are finished reading this note, we will be done with our mission and back at the temple. (Garnet's Future-Vision)
Since we figured you would probably go to the Big Donut (Future-Vision again), we left this note to tell you that!
See you there, Steven!
Sincerely,
Pearl
After Steven read the note, he grabbed his donuts, exited the donut shop, and headed to the temple. It was a little odd that they had written a note for him, since they had never done this before, but it was believable enough. He walked back to the temple. The sun was setting when he went up the stairs. Before walked in the door, he made some more mental preparations for the confrontation. After he was calm, he walked into the door. But when he walked in, the gems were not there. However, a figure was standing there. Steven walked forward to see who it was.
Cliffhanger for the win! Sorry this chapter was so short! Also, I will be on vacation for the next few days so I won't be able to make a new chapter, but expect a new chapter within a week!
