What's up! I've been so excited lately! (Steven Bomb has given me the feels a lot) I'm so grateful for everyone. I don't think a lot of wonderful people realize when they say even the smallest thing how big an impact it makes on the person receiving those words. I really appreciate you all.

Steven sat on the same beach he'd once gone to with Lars and Sadie. He wondered about the Crystal Gems. Why were they acting like this? They said it wasn't him but how wasn't it? If he hadn't told Garnet about Pearl repairing the homing beacon they would've been happy. But if he didn't tell Garnet she would've kept getting used by Pearl. Now Garnet is split up and Ruby and Sapphire aren't even speaking. Steven realized something, he couldn't win for losing.
Steven let out a sigh as he looked up at the sky that was now turning to sunset. He was hungry and cold; none of the gems were coming for him; even if they did he was too far into the woods for them to find him on the first day.
"What's a guy to do?" Steven said curling up into the fetal position.
"Dang it!" an unfamiliar voice yelled. Steven sprung up as he accidentally bubbled himself and rolled down a steep hill; crashing into a large tree as his bubble popped.
"Who was that?" Steven whispered to himself, scared. He'd fallen closer to the voice and was now creeping through the bushes. Peeping over one of the bushes he saw her… it was Peridot.
"I hate this stupid planet!" She said using her left hand's helicopter feature to clear several vines wrapped around her leg. She immediately removed it and after attempted to wipe off a deep scratch to her suit before she realized it wouldn't come out. She fell to a crouched position and started crying.
Peridot: *Sigh* sick and tired of being on this planet.
Steven watched as Peridot stood up and angrily stomped her foot causing several birds to fly from the trees. Startled, Peridot ran with he hands in the air in a very cartoonish fashion.
Peridot: I want to yell, scream, curse! Da-!
It's frustrating
I'm debating on blowing this whole place up!
I wanna go home…
I want to go home…
To the only place I've ever known…
I want to go home.
Maybe I'll buy a bed
I deserve it!
"It'll be easy" they said!
*sigh* …
I want to go home.
Peridot looked up at the now starry sky. Tears streaked her face as she face planted into the ground; throwing a muffled tantrum.
Steven watched as Peridot got up and paced the floor, muttering to herself. Steven got out of his hiding place and walked curiously behind Peridot.
"Why does Yellow Diamond do this to me?" Peridot said still tracing the floor.
"If she was just going to leave me here why would she leave Jasper too?!" Frustration growing in her voice.
"Why did she send me here if she wasn't going to get me? What's going on with the beacon!" Peridot turned and immediately saw Steven.
"Waah!" Peridot yelled as she covered her mouth with her fingers. "The Steven" She stared at him in shock. "Where are the clods?" She glared down at him.
"The gems? They're at home." Steven said tilting his head as he smiled up at Peridot.
"Hm, tell me why "The Steven" would be alone?" She said as four fingers floated into a square opening her recording data log.
"We had a fight… the gems are all mad at each other." Steven looked away for a moment as Peridot ended her recording. "Maybe we could start our own Crystal Gem group!" Steven shouted excitedly.
"Um… yeah… how about no?" Peridot said walking past Steven "Don't tell those clods I'm here… alright?" She turned towards Steven giving him an angry glare.
"I wasn't going to. We don't talk anymore. Can we hang out at least until you have to go? I'll even show you where the warp pad is!" Steven yelled. He'd been so alone lately he didn't even realize how careless he was being. But who cared? He wasn't a Crystal Gem anymore.
"You have your own warp pad?" Peridot picked Steven up and began shaking him "Where is it!" She yelled. Steven began to cry as her grip tightened. Loosening her grip, Peridot let go.
"I'm…sorry." Peridot said stepping back as she removed the tightly wrapped fingers from Steven's arm.
"It's okay." Steven said holding his arm. Peridot opened her data log again.
"This is Peridot, healing mechanisms." As soon as she said this Steven waved his hand dismissively.
"That's okay, I have healing powers." He licked his hand and pressed it to his bruised arm, immediately healing it.
"Ugh…" Peridot turned away in disgust at the spectacle.
"Here, let me heal your boot." Steven licked his hand and touched Peridot's boot.
"Sick!" She yelled, before she could grab anything to wipe the slobber away she saw the hole was gone. "You… you really are a gem." She stared at Steven, mouth ajar.
"Yeah, so… um…" Steven twiddled his thumbs.
"I'm Peridot, then again you probably already know me by now." She was still wary of Steven. But if she were to leave this island she'd need to be nice to him.
"I'm Steven, Steven Quartz Universe." He said extending his once bruised arm as Peridot reached out to shake his hand.
