Chapter 4

The door opened, And the gems were standing beside it. Steven was startled, But he spoke. Steven: "I'm sorry I yelled, I was just frustrated..I felt like you guys weren't giving me a chance." Pearl: "We were just trying to protect you." Steven: "I can protect myself now!" Steven noticed that what he said is the same thing Connie said to her mom at the hospital. But he didn't care. He meant what he said. He can summon his shield, He got his healing powers back, He can do stuff on his own now. Pearl: "I'm sorry too. I just….care about you…" Tears welled up in Steven's eyes. Pearl: "Besides, That-I mean, Cat, is a pretty good fighter." Cat's Eye smiled, She understood what Pearl meant. She jumped out of Steven's arms, And onto Pearl's shoulder. She purred, And rubbed her head against Pearl's. Pearl pet her with content. Pearl: "You're training her well." Steven smiled. "They understand…" he thought. Amethyst: "She's a cute little kitty! But just make sure she doesn't eat my food anymore." Steven: "Okay, But I think she likes fish.." Pearl: "I wonder why she needs to eat and sleep. She's a gem just like us, So why does she need it?" Pearl sounded confused. Mostly because she hates eating, But why would Cat's Eye need it? Garnet: "I think it's because she's corrupted. She doesn't get much energy from her gem anymore, So she needs sleep and food to make energy to use." Steven: "That's why she likes food…" Then, Cat's Eye jumped off of Pearl's shoulder and walked over to the fridge and stared at it. Steven: " Well, I guess she's hungry.
