"LOG DATE 0802: I LOCATED THE SOLAR SYSTEM AND NOW I'M ENTERING THE SMF-590 SYSTEM GALAXY... TIME LEFT TO ARRIVE ON THE PLANET KNOWN AS EARTH WHERE THE TECHNICIAN GEM KNOWN AS PERIDOT AND THE WARRIOR GEM FROM THE YELLOW DIAMOND'S ARMY KNOWN AS JASPER ARE LOCATED IS: *beep* *typing* *beep* THREE WEEKS AND 30 HOURS..." said the weapon still traveling on space at full speed.
It had passed at least one month since the parents of Connie left Connie on Steven's house to spend the summer with him. Of course the gems settled a mini-room for Connie that its located near the living room of the house. Steven and Connie had alot of fun ever since the moment she has been on the house. Pearl sometimes took Connie for a little spar session, of course Steven would follow her if she gots hurt. In some occasions, they would fuse to be a fair match against Pearl even though she feels a little awkward arround Stevonnie, but she still happy that both of them are learning more about their abilities and powers. Not only that, but now all the shirts, dresses and some jeans has either a little and big star on it, siymbolizing that she is the first full human member of the Crystal Gems. Sometimes Connie would also help on missions to capture the corrupted gems thanks to her sword skills.
Jasper would also take Steven for a little training session, and most of the time (well... more like all the time) Pearl is there to see if Jasper got exceeded with the lessons. But thanks to Jasper training, Steven now manages to expand his shield like the last time he did to protect him and the Original Crystal Gems from the blast of the hand ship. Not only that, but he can know summon his shield and expand it at his own will and even make it bigger enough to protect at the house. Of course, Steven will get very tired and have little stamina if he use a big shield more than five times in at least a day.
Steven and Connie were not the only ones who trained, but also Peridot. Ever since she discovered that she can make energy and lighting blast with her fingers, she decided to practice and research more about her abilities. Thanks to her efforts, she discovered that her fingers can make a little shield that was formed like one of her touchscreens, she can also use her fingers to attach either to the ground, wall, roofs, and even slippy ice! Thanks to that, she can now wall jump. Also she possess the ability to make the electricity things to work without the need to connect it, she also has the ability to drill on the ground and walls thanks to her fingers. She also can throw bolts from her finger and even make a big and powerful lighting attack if she concentrates all her energy from electricty things, of course that would cause the electricity things to be turned off. So far, she only has those abilities and powers... at least from her knowledge, she herself is very surprised by the amount of good and cool things she can do.
So far the Crystal Gems manage to capture even more corrupted gems now that their team is more big. Garnet confirmed that they only need to capture three corrupted gems and it will be done their biggest mission ever since the rebellion war has ended. Of course this make Amethyst very happy since now they won't have to bother or worry about another monster attacking the city or the beach, or eating the junk from the town. But little she know that now they will have to find a solution on how to make these gems...uncorrupted and fix them so they can be normal again.
The gems aren't the only ones who were working this past month, Mayor Dewey has been fixing everything for the festival that it will be the in three weeks and four days. Mayor Dewey told that in this festival there will be alot of food, a music-song competition in which the winner of the first place would win a prize of one million dollars, second place would win ten thousand dollars, and the third place would win five hundred dollars with a box packed with 20 glowsticks. Not only those, but also a dance competition, and the contest of the most beautiful woman in Beach City. Steven is looking forward to the festival along with his dad and Connie.
However the gems are getting ready for one big special day, and that day will be tomorrow.
On Garnet's Room...
"All right, tomorrow is the day. Steven will be so happy to see the two of us again." said Garnet as she smiled and hugged herself while blushing a purple color.
"I think its time to see Greg with the others." said Garnet as she adjusted her shades.
Inside Steven's house (8:10 P.M)...
Steven was sitting on the legs of Peridot and they were watching Crying Breakfast Friends show along with Connie. Suddenly Peridot noticed a waffle and was very surprised.
"Is that thing!" said Peridot while pointing out the waffle who was crying on the show.
"Who? Sad waffle?" said a confused Steven.
"Thats his name?" added a even more confused Peridot.
"I thought this was the first time Peridot watched Crying Breakfast Friends?" said a confused Connie.
"It IS the first time she watch its. CBF has been on hiatus ever since Thursday of the last two months. Peri, how do you know Sad waffle?" asked Steven.
Then Peridot formed her touchscreen and on that screen there was a sticker of a waffle who was crying along with reports about Crystal Gems and a Steven.
"Whoa, you still got the sticker of Sad waffle?" said Steven while smiling.
"How did she get it?" asked Connie.
"She must have taken it from the broken space Warp Pad when she first got on Earth for the first time." said Steven.
"I thought it was the icon of your team." added Peridot.
"You can take it off if you want." said Steven.
"Hmm... no its okay. I think Ill keep it, it reminds me alot of you Steven." said Peridot as she smiled and rubbed Steven's hair.
They kept watching CBF for 11 minutes when the episde finally ended.
"Oh man! I can't wait to see the new episode tomorrow!" said Steven with little stars on his eyes.
"Yeah. It was a great idea to start the new episodes by airing them for one week after the hiatus of two months." added Connie.
"Are you gonna watch it with us again, Peri?" said Steven while smiling towards Peridot.
"Well..." added Peridot with a nervous tone while trying to get the good answer. Then the door of Garnet's room open up and revealed Garnet, Pearl, Lapis, Amethyst, and Jasper.
"Peridot! We need you." said Garnet with a strict voice.
"Understood! I'm going (Oh thank the gems... I didn't know what to respond to Steven!)." said Peridot as she walked towards the door of the temple. Then the door closed and that leave Steven and Connie alone.
"Sooooo... what do we now?" said Steven.
"You know... we still have one hour and a half left until our bedtime. Maybe we can discuss a little bit of ideas for our Unfamiliar Familiar fanfiction?" suggested Connie.
"That...sounds...AWESOME! Lets do it!" said Steven as he went to take some papers and a bag of pencils.
Meanwhile on Garnet's Room...
Everyone was reunited there. Lapis, Peridot, and Jasper were very confused on why Garnet told them to come here. But Lapis paid no mind since she was playing with a cube with multiple, mixed and random colors.
"Uhhh... What are you doing?" asked Jasper as Lapis continued to play with the cube.
"Steven show me this amazing, yet very complex and difficult cube. Apparantly you need to mix the colors and then put it together once again in the same spot. Its called Rubix Cube!" said Lapis as she continued to play with the rubix cube.
"Oh please... It doesn't seem very difficult. You just need to put the colors on their place once again. I bet I could do it in a fast time." bragged Pearl.
"Trust me, after mixing them up you get very, VERY, confused." added Lapis as she continue to play.
"Uhmmm... I'm pretty sure Garnet didn't bring us here to discuss the magic cube or whatever cube of Steven." said Jasper.
"You are right. Why exactly did you bring us here?" asked Peridot.
"I brought you all of here to discuss and talk about Steven's birthday in which will be tomorrow." stated Garnet.
This made Lapis to stop playing with the rubix cube and Peridot along with Jasper got very confused face.
"The what of what of Steven?" said a confused Peridot.
"Birthday. The birthday of Steven will be tomorrow." added Garnet.
"Whats a birthday?" asked a very confused Jasper.
"Its a very special, yet weird human tradition. Its a day where humans celebrate the birth of certain human. Everyone human has a birthday. And every time a birthday happends the age of the human increase by one year." explained Pearl.
"We gems don't do that." added Peridot.
"I know, that we gems don't do that weird and dumb traditions, but since Steven is half human we celebrate it to make him happy and have fun with him." said Pearl.
"Plus there will be alot of sweets and food in there!" added Amethyst interrupting the explanation of Pearl in which of course annoyed her. Amethyst's comment make Lapis, Peridot, and Jasper catch more attention towards the whole custom of the birthdays.
"What kind of sweets?" asked Lapis.
"Sweets, like...uhmmm...candy, cakes, chocolates, and donuts!" said Amethyst.
"(Thats sounds delicious!)" thought Lapis while thinking of the sweets.
"So... thats all? I mean its obviously important, but it was neccessary to bring us here just to tell us that?" added a still confused Jasper.
"Actually no. Other than that, we also have to give the human who was born on that day a special gift. Something very special for them." added Pearl.
"So what kind of gift are you going to get him?" asked Peridot.
"Don't worry about that, we already planned the surprise." said Garnet while adjusting her shades and smiling. Of course Lapis, Peridot, and Jasper were confused on what Garnet said.
Then Lapis remembered the time when the space ship crashed down and Steven said something about two gems meeting him and they were leaving that moment for his birthday.
"You mean those two gems?!" said Lapis understanding what Garnet just said.
"You are right." added Garnet.
"Do you refer the gems that form Garnet?" added Peridot.
"Thats right. You could say its an awesome surprise gift." added Amethyst.
"So you are going to introduce the gems that have opposite powers, but they love each other?" added Jasper.
"Yup." added Garnet.
"Do you think that would work? I mean... I don't want to offend Ruby or Sapphire, but doesn't Steven already knows this?" said Pearl.
"Don't worry Pearl. I'm sure Steven will be glad to see them again, and so Ruby and Sapphire will be." said Garnet as she looked into both of her palms and saw the gems.
"So... does this means we can return to our room?" asked Lapis.
"Not now. At least not today." said Garnet.
"Why?" asked Lapis once again.
"Because we are going to plan the surprise party for Steven." said Garnet.
"A surprise party? How are we going to do that?" asked Peridot.
Don't worry here is the plan." said Garnet.
Then she began explaining the plan on doing the surprise party for Steven. Of course Lapis, Peridot, and Jasper took a while to understand the plans, but in the end they manage to understand it.
"So how long do we need to wait?" asked Lapis.
"I'll notice all of you when Steven and Connie fell asleep." said Garnet.
And so they did wait... Lapis of course still play with the rubix cube while Pearl along with Peridot watched the rubix cube to see how they can resolve it. Time passed away very quickly for the gems.
Inside Steven's House (9:20 P.M)...
Steven and Connie fell asleep and they slept in their corresponding bed. The door of Garnet's room open up and revealed Garnet, Pearl, Lapis, Peridot, Amethyst, and Jasper.
"All right... be sure to walk very quietly, we don't want to wake up Steven or Connie." whispered Garnet. All the Crystal Gems nodded and slowly they tip-toe towards the door.
All the Crystal Gems manage to get out of the house without waking up Steven and Connie. Now they were heading to Beach City.
At Greg's Car Wash (9:22 P.M)...
Greg's Van was there with Greg waiting outside seemingly waiting for someone and checking his clock.
"Oh boy... they are late." said Greg still waiting outside of the van. Then Greg noticed six silhouttes coming towards his van.
"Could it be them?" said Greg while getting out some flashlight. Then he turned on the flashlight and those six silhouttes were the Crystal Gems.
"Greetings Greg." said Garnet in her usual stoic tone.
"Oh. Greetings gems." responded Greg while putting down the flashlight and turning on one of the outside lights of his Car Wash.
"Apologies if we are late. We needed to discuss something." added Pearl.
"Nah its okay. Sooo, everything is ready for the party?" said Greg.
"Yup! We'll always ready for anything!" said Amethyst in her usual tone.
"What about the settings?" added Pearl.
"Don't worry... they are right here." said Greg. Then he open the van and got out some boxes with the words, Steven's Birthday writed on it. Then he open the box and revealed a king suit cape, a crown, some balloons that are flat, and other party things on it.
"What is that?" asked Peridot.
"Its the suit I bought for Steven for he to wear it everytime its his birthday. He use it ever since he had 2 years." answered Greg while smiling warmly. He then began to remember the time he spent with his son when he was just a little kid.
"Umm... Earth to Gregory!" said Amethyst as she snapped her fingers in front of Greg's eyes to take him out of the trance.
"Huh?! Huh? Oh. Sorry I got distracted." said Greg while blushing from embarrasment.
"Well besides that We need to get ready the preparations for tomorrow. We have not time to waste." said Pearl.
"You are right. We need to start right now." said Garnet.
"I'll turn on the van and head towards the Beach right now." said Greg as he put some of the boxes back to the van.
"I'll wait for you on the Beach."
Then Greg turned on the van and drive towards the Beach.
"All right... We better follow Greg if we want to finish the earliest in the morning." said Garnet. Then all the gems began to follow Greg's Van.
All the Crystal Gems nodded and began to walk once again towards the Beach.
At the Next Day inside Steven's House (9:10 A.M)...
Steven and Connie were still sleeping even if the sun already brighted the whole house. Then the main entrance of the house open and Lapis along with Pearl and Amethyst entered the house. Lapis and Amethyst were holding the laughs to avoid waking up Steven or Connie so quickly. Then Lapis, Pearl, and Amethyst walked upstairs and headed infront of Steven who was sleeping. Then Pearl began to poke Steven face with her fingers.
"Steven... we got a surprise for you." said Pearl with a smile as she began to poke gently Steven face. Soon with enough pokes, Steven manage to get up but still he was sleepy.
"*yawn* Good Morning Pearl...Amethyst... and Lapis." mumbled Steven as he rubben his left eye.
"Good Morning Steven." said Lapis with a warm smile.
"Whats this all about? Is there something going on?" said Steven with a teasing smile.
"Uhhhh...nooooo... well, there IS one thing we need to show you. C'mon bud." said Amethyst as he took out Steven from his bed.
"Wait! First I need to get some clothes and wake up Connie!" said Steven as he took out his usual trademark t-shirt with a big star. After he got dressed he proceed to awake Connie from her slumber.
"Connie!" said Steven as he began to move gently Connie to wake her up. Then Connie began to mumble a little bit and finally woke up.
"*yawn* Good Morning Steven." said a still sleepy Connie.
"Good Morning!" said Steven with full excitement.
"Come on Steven, theres a surprise for you." said Pearl.
"A surprise?" said a confused Connie.
"A surprise?! Oh boy! What is it?!" said Steven with full excitement and big stars on his eyes.
"You have to come with us to see." said Amethyst teasing a little bit Steven. Then Steven immediately went outside of the house and got very shocked to see whats happening on the Beach.
"SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEVEN!" screamed everyone on the Beach. On the beach there was six tables with balloons now inflated, along with a cake with a Cookie Cat shape, and there was Greg holding the birthday suit of Steven. Not only Greg was on the Beach, but also Jasper, and Peridot, including Lion but Garnet was nowhere to be found.
"WOW!" shouted Steven with huge stars glittering on his eyes. He immediately runned towards the Beach at full speed.
Lapis along with Pearl and Amethyst exited the house and saw that Steven was hugging happily his father. This make the trio very happy to see that their little kid is very happy at the surprise. Connie then exited the house and saw the surprise.
"Wow! I forgot that Steven's birthday is today." said Connie.
"THANK YOU SO MUCH GUYS!" said Steven as he hugged Greg. After he hugged his dad he proceed to hug Jasper, Peridot, and Lion.
"Hey dude, don't leave us hangin' in there." said Amethyst as she along with Pearl and Lapis headed towards the beach. Then Steven runned towards the trio and hugged them as well.
"THANK YOU SO MUCH TOO! ALL OF YOU ARE THE BEST." said Steven as he happily hugged Pearl. After Steven broke the hug with Pearl he noticed that Garnet was nowhere to be found.
"Huh? Hey guys where is Garnet?" asked Steven as he looked around searching for any signs of Garnet.
"We are right here, Steven." said a mysterious voice. Steven got very surprised upon hearing the mysterious yet somewhat familiar voice. Then he turned around and saw two small gems with color red and blue, one gem was holding a crown and the other one was holding a king cape.
"Happy Birthday Steven!" said the two unknown gems with happiness. Steven immediately got extremely happy at what he had seen. When he saw the two gems he immediately felt the spirit of Garnet even if she wasn't there on those two unknown gems.
"RUBY! SAPPHIRE!" shouted Steven with huge stars and little diamonds glittering on his eyes. After he made it towards Ruby and Sapphire he hug them and got a huge smile. Then he quickly broke the hug of the two gems.
"Oh! I mean... heh, heh, heh, Wow! Garnet is a fusion? Who are you two, heh, heh, heh." said Steven with a nervous tone. He remember that when he met Ruby and Sapphire on the spaceship Garnet was saving it for his birthday, so he decide to act all surprised.
"*giggle* Its okay Steven you don't need to act for us." said Sapphire while lauging a little bit at Steven's failed attempt to act surprised.
"Well... it would have work if a CERTAIN GEM hadn't interfered." said Ruby while glaring at Jasper.
"...What? You know I was your enemy at that time so I only did my job." said Jasper.
"She got a point, Ruby." said Sapphire trying to calm down her lover.
"Hmph!" grunted Ruby.
"Heh, heh, heh, now that I see you are the tiniest gem around here." added Jasper.
"What did you say?!" said Ruby making sure she heard that.
"Yeah you are shorter than Amethyst and she has stubby legs!" teased Jasper.
"Hey! I heard that! Let me tell you this... I'm more taller than here!" said Amethyst.
"Oh! Thats it! This short gem will take you both and size up your enemy!" said Ruby as she began to crack her knuckles. Amethyst then shapeshifted into her Purple Puma form.
"Is that a challenge? Cause this Puma will show you the claws." said Amethyst as she flexed her biceps.
"Count me in, I'll take both of you in short time... literally for you." said Jasper as she cracked her knuckles and pointed at Ruby.
The three fighter gems began to charge each other, but they were stopped by Sapphire, Pearl, and Lapis. Sapphire holded Ruby, Lapis holded Jasper, and Pearl holded Amethyst.
"AMETHYST! THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO BE RECKLESS!" shouted Pearl while grabbing Amethyst by her long hair. In other occassions Amethyst will normally ignore Pearl, but for the first time she was right.
"If you ever think on doing that you will be sleeping with the fish at the bottom of the ocean." said Lapis with a creepy smile which startled Jasper a little bit.
"Geez! You are weird Lapis!" said Jasper while sweating a little bit.
"Ruby please. Not infront of Steven." said Sapphire in her usual calmed tone.
"Yeah! Why don't we just enjoy the party and that stuff." added Jasper.
"For once I agree with her. Come on Steven, wear your important suit." said Ruby while handing down the king suit to Steven. Sapphire did the same with the crown.
Then Steven proceed to wear his trademark birthday suit in which of course was very happy to use it. Then Connie finally walked towards the two gems lover and got very surprised upon seeing them.
"Wow, by any chance are the two of you the gems who love each other?" asked Connie with a blush from embarrasment.
"Yes. I'm Sapphire. Nice to meet you Connie." said Sapphire.
"Whoa! How do you know my name?" asked Connie with a surprised tone.
"Our memories from Garnet are still inside our minds. Thats how we know your name and everything about you. Especially the time when the two of you fused." said Sapphire while smiling.
"Really?" said Connie now blushing more hardly.
"Yup. Ruby was smiling every gladly when she saw you as Garnet. You wouldn't believe how much happiness she had." said Sapphire.
"SAPPHY! Don't tell them that." said Ruby while blushing and letting some steam from his head.
"Heh, heh, heh." teased Sapphire while laughing.
On the Beach (10:08 A.M)...
Everyone was having fun in the Beach especially Steven who was enjoying his time with Ruby and Sapphire. Of course not only because Ruby and Sapphire was with him, but because he was enjoying his birthday with his big family. Right now he was being a coach of a little tournament of Chess. Its the finals between Connie and Sapphire.
"Whooo! Go Sapphy! You can beat her! No offense there Connie." cheered Ruby.
"I still don't think its a fair match for Connie." said Amethyst.
"Well to be honest, Connie has endured a lot for human on these kind of games when its about strategy against gems. I must say she is very smart." said Pearl.
"Ugh... these game is so confusing! I mean why does the horses even go in a L form?" complained Jasper.
"I think someones salty on losing Chess with Amethyst." teased Lapis.
"First of all, it was a tie!" said an irritaited Jasper.
"You tie with Amethyst on Chess! How is even possible to get a tie on that game?!" said Pearl.
"You know, I'm right here!" said Amethyst in annoyed tone.
"Pearl you are not the one who should be talking. You got beat by Peridot." said Lapis.
"I must say that as one of the most strategist gems I'm not surprised by that fact." bragged Peridot.
"Hmph! It doesn't matter! I prefer checkers. Besides Sapphire defeated Peridot in the semifinals." said Pearl while blushing a little bit.
Then Connie made a great move against Sapphire on Chess. She place her rook in front of the king who was in a castling position and no escape.
"YES! Checkmate!" said Connie.
"BING! BING! BING! It looks like Connie is the winner!" said Greg. Then Steven got ready to launch a bunch of water balloons at Sapphire.
"Not quite." said Sapphire. Suddenly Steven stopped from throwing the balloons at Sapphire.
"Huh?" added a confused Connie. Then Sapphire moved her queen and captured the rook and that was not all, her queen was threatening Connie's King piece.
"Check." said Sapphire.
"Oh no!" said Connie. Then Connie began to look at the board to see if any piece of her team is able to capture Sapphire's Queen, however it was no use. Her three pawns were very far to capture it, she only had one Knight that it couldn't capture the Queen, and that was it. Her rook was the only hope since her Queen got captured by Sapphire's knight in which Connie capture it with her know-captured rook. Her only move was to move away her king.
"Hmmm... Checkmate." said Sapphire as she moved her Knight.
"What?!" said a confused Connie. She then looked the board to see any kind of move to get away but it was no use. Her King got cornered on the side and if she moved the King at one space in the front one abandoned pawn was threatening the King.
"Well its true. You beat me. Good Game Sapphire." said Connie as she shaked hands with Sapphire. Then without warning Connie got bombed with water balloons.
"BING! BING! BING! Sapphire is the Winner of this Chess tournament!" said Greg while giving Sapphire a trophy made of cardboard with the words, Champion of Chess on it.
"YEAH! WOOO! THATS MY SAPPHY!" said Ruby as she runned towards Sapphire and gave her a big hug and then a sweet kiss on her cheek.
"Ruby! Not infront of Steven!" said Sapphire as she smiled and blushed.
"Heh, heh, heh, its not so bad to lose. Sometimes there will always be a person thats better than you in something." said Connie as she began to dry up her hair.
"All right, all right, I think thats enough fun. I think its time to do THAT." said Greg. The gems were confused, but suddenly they understand and nodded.
"Steven be prepared, because we are going to do the most awesome song in the whole world!" said Amethyst.
"Really?!" said Steven.
"Yep! And I will be the one who will play the instruments on this song." added Greg.
"Oh boy! Oh boy!" said Steven with excitement as he sitted down. Connie decide to do the same and watch along side with him.
Then Greg took out a guitar, and began to play; also the Crystal Gems got ready and prepared to sing:
Crystal Gems: "Today is your special day... so we are now having party to celebrate your birthday.
Ever since the day you were born, you mean so much to us, and we always love you and your sweety personality...
Pearl: I have learned so much from you... that I think that you inspire me alot. You show me that we can be strong not only physically or intelectually. But we can also get strong in our spirits, and mind and not Give up! Not only your mother would be proud, but all of us are very glad to see what you have become our little, precious, baby. My Steven. I'll always Love you.
Amethyst: Even if I do pranks at you and always tease you, thats only because I love seeing your smile and laugh and have fun with you. You never saw me as a monster, jerk, or a parasite and thats enough reason to cheer you up and always try to get you to smile even if you are depressed. You teach me to not hide me emotions or feelings so I'm showing how much I'm grateful for it.
Ruby: I was present when you first born and I was extremely happy to see you. I never got the chance to spend the time with you much longer than four minutes, but that doesn't matter since I'll have the memories of Garnet with me and enjoy it.
Sapphire: My sweet child, you have grown ever since the day I met you for the first time. When you were scared... I got worried, but in the end I knew that you will face your fears and grew stronger because thats how you are... and thats how we love you.
Ruby and Sapphire: Even in the darkest moment, don't forget that we will be with you as Garnet and protect you from the danger. Our love for you will never end like the love we feel together, because we are never going to feel alone.
Orignal Crystal Gems: Steven... don't think we still see you as a little kid. We now see you as a valuable and important member of the Crystal Gems. You have grown these many years and even if you ever thought by any moment that you are useless to us, then don't think anymore about that. You are our child and we'll always have faith and believe you, our precious kid.
Lapis: My first friend in the whole world. You show me kindness even if I was being treated as a prisoner, and even if I try to hurt you... you never hate me or at least dislike me. You show me how to feel happiness in my worst moments and I'll never forget that. Your life and spirit will be in my heart and I'll cherish every moment I'm spending with you and enjoy it. Thank you Steven.
Peridot: Saw you as pest, then saw you as my enemy and now I see you as my friend. You show me how the feeling of being scared is nothing compared to feel the love. Your braveness cause me to get stronger and be more confident. I appreciate that gift you gave me and I'll never forget it. Steven, you are precious to me and will not forget the moments we share.
Jasper: I always saw you as my rival, then my enemy. I always hate you at first and consider you a worthless enemy when I saw what you have became, but you prove me wrong. You show me my actions and got me on the right path. Now I see you as my friend that I'll always protect no matter what happens. First as Rose Quartz I saw you, but now I see you as Steven Universe... the first boy who show compassion towards her former enemy...no You don't even see anyone as your enemy, and thats what I respect the most. I'm enternal grateful of what you show me and I'll enjoy my life spending with you. Steven you are a great kid and I'll fight for you.
Crystal Gems: We love you Steven, and we enjoy having you with us. Even if we have great flaws, you will not hate us or at least dislike us by those flaws... instead you still see the beautiful things about us and always care about our safety. Happy Birthday Steven! Our precious and beautiful kid that will always love and protect (x2).
Then Greg finally made the final chord and ended the song. Steven and Connie were left with no words. Steven got tears on his eyes, but those were heart-warming, glad, and joy tears that he felt in his entire life; we can say the same to Connie because she was with gladly tears too on her eyes.
"Sooooo, what do you think Stu-meatball?" said Greg with a smile on his face.
"I...I...I...I don't know what to say. I'm very touched about this, do you guys really think that about me?" said Steven still with huge tears on his eyes.
"Of course, little man!" said Amethyst in her usual tone.
"I...I...I...Its just... Thank you guys. I love all of you." said Steven as he standed up and walked towards the Crystal Gems and his dad to hug them. Connie decide to participate too and hugged Steven.
"All right! Now that the song is done. How about some cake?" suggested Greg.
"*gasp* YEAH! Lets eat cake!" said Steven now in her usual excited tone.
Then Greg took out a box containing a cake. However, this cake was different than the usual square or circle shaped ones. This cake shaped like a Cookie Cat! It even has eyes on it, and on those eyes there were two candles. Steven was extremely happy upon seeing the cake.
"A COOKIE CAT CAKE! THATS THE BEST CAKE I HAVE EVER SEEN!" said Steven with full excitement and happiness.
"And the best of all, its chocolate-flavored cake and in the middle of it there is ice cream!" said Greg. Then Sapphire began to cut the cake and put every piece of cake into a plate.
"Thank you guys. This was another great birthday party I ever had." said Steven as he took a plate with a piece of cake.
Steven, Greg, Connie, Lapis, Peridot, Amethyst, Jasper, Ruby, and Sapphire began to eat a piece of the cake. Of course everyone enjoyed the cake. After Connie finished eating the cake she noticed something.
"Steven... I'm sorry that I couldn't get you a gift." said Connie.
"Huh? What do you mean?" asked Steven.
"I didn't get you a gift for your birthday." said Connie.
"Why are you saying sorry? I'm happy that you are here spending the time with us." said Steven.
"But always on birthdays there are people, normally the parents that give you gifts. Have you received any kind of gift?" asked Connie.
"Hmm... yeah! Spending the time with my family and having fun with them is the best gift for me. Normally I buy the things I like, but thats nothing compared to be with the Crystal Gems, Dad, You, or spending time in Beach City. I believe that spending time with your loved ones is the perfect gift since you can always have that without any exception." explained Steven.
Connie was loss for the words. Normally on her birthdays her parents would give her the book she loves and only that since she was always a lonely girl without any friends, but now her first and best friend show her that spending time with its family its the best gift that anyone can receive.
"Yeah. Its the best." added Connie.
Inside Steven's House (11:32 P.M)...
It was a long day today. After eating the cake, Steven, Connie, and the Crystal Gems spend the rest of the day by reading and discussing Unfamiliar Familiar, Everyone watched Crying Breakfast Friends in which of course caused most of the gems pure confusion upon seeing the show, Greg and Steven spend their time by singing some songs with their instruments. Although every day has to end very soon. Steven fell asleep around 11:30 P.M. Connie fell asleep around 11:28 P.M. Greg said his good night to Steven and left the house. Right now, Steven was being carried towards his bed by Ruby.
"Hold on Ruby! Theres still one person who needs to say something to Steven." said Sapphire.
"You are right, but first lets put him to bed before we do that." said Ruby. Then Ruby put Steven on his bed. Even if Steven had his eyes closed he manage to hear the conversation between Ruby and Sapphire. He opened his eyes and saw that Ruby and Sapphire are gone, but Garnet was there.
"Happy Birthday Steven." said Garnet with a big and heart-warming smile.
"Hey Garnet." said a sleepy Steven with a smile.
"See you in the morning and Good night." said Garnet as she kissed Steven in his forehead.
"Heh, heh, Good night Garnet...Ruby... and Sapphire. I love you." said Steven as he began to fell asleep. He finally fell asleep.
Steven felt asleep with a big smile and began to dream happily. He is indeed a very lucky boy, he has a big family that loves him, that supports him and protects him from all danger. He then got into the deeps of the happiest dreams he had...little he knew that soon enough a big, and dangerous threat that will endanger all the lives he loves will come for him...
Author's Note: Happy Birthday to Steven! AND Happy Birthday to Me! Of course 2th of August isn't the real birthday of Steven, I have a headcanon that his birthday is a day of his birthstone (Rose Quartz) month.
Well... what do you think guys? This was the first time I wrote a song without searching lyrics, okay? It may sound a little bit off, so apologies if you think that.
Sooo... I believe that this is the best way to start my Steven Fanbomb. Be prepared though! The upcoming chapters will be long as this or even much longer! I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter!
OMAKE:
Me: Oh boy! 2th of August! That means...
Peridot and Sardonyx: HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMB590!
Me: Oh, thanks!
Sardonyx: We got you this lovely cake made of magic!
Peridot: Sardonyx did most of the part, I only decorated.
Me: Oh man! Cake made from one of my favorite gems, one of my favorite fusion gems! This will be good! *AMB590 proceeds to take a bite from the cake, after he bit the cake he fainted.*
Sardonyx: Guess I put too much spicy sauce.
Peridot: YOU THREE UNITED CLOD! What were you thinking!
Sardonyx: Remember that half of me doesn't like to eat! Be more considerated or I'll do magic saw trick to you!
Peridot: You are hopeless.
