(Tuesday at lunch)
(Connie's pov)
"And I know for a fact, that I gave his pink jacket back to him but some how it ends up in my room?" I asked Peedee at our lunchtime together.
"Did you ask him about it?" I shook my head no. "Steven told me he was going on a mission but, his jacket appears at my house, how does that happen if I know for a fact that I didn't have to begin with and now I do and I'm missing another one."
"Connie calm down, look maybe Steven just stop by and traded the jacket." Peedee explain.
"But why would he need to?!"
"Well." Peedee pause and took a sip of his milk. "Maybe where he was going was too cold for his pink jacket and he wanted his blue one, But he didn't want to leave you with out one so he left his pink one for you to wear."
I soaked Peedee's words in. That does sound like something he would do. I bit my lip. Steven did always worry about how cold I was. It was always really sweet that he did and a bit annoying. Him leaving his jacket might be something he would do with out telling me, he did like surprising me after all.
"That makes sense. I guess." I felt my self calm down a bit. "Thanks Peedee." He shrugged.
"Sure thing Connie, what's Steven up to today?"
"He said their still looking for to gem artifact." I took a bite out of my sandwich
"Cool, what is it?" I paused and swallowed.
"I don't know really." I picked up my water bottle and started pealing the label off. "He really didn't go into detail but I asked if he needed any help and he said no, you would think he be more willing to accept it if it would help them find it faster." I try my best to play it off like it didn't matter that he didn't want me to go on mission with him.
Peedee gave me a look then smirked. "Connie your not jealous are you?"
I looked at him shocked. "Jealous?! Of what?!" His smirk grew. "Of Steven going on adventures while your at school."
"What of course not! Why would I be jealous that Steven gets to go on cool, dangerous mission while I'm stuck at boring school."
He raised his eyebrow. "Okay maybe a little, but can you blame me?"

Pearl added Cumin seeds to the while I chopped onions for the Besanwali Bhindi. I felt my phone vibrate.
I stuck my hand in my pocket and click the end button so I could focus on the cooking.
(Connie's pov)
I watched as my phone blink back at me showing me that the call had been ended.
I groaned. Steven must not have good service where he was, to be not answering my calls.
I felt a sense of dread feel up my gut. What if he got hurt? What if he got trap some where? I could feel my heart start to pound a bit more harder that before.
"Connie, dinners ready!" I heard my dad call. I took a deep breath and went to join them leaving my phone in my room.
After dinner I came back up stairs and checked my phone. Steven had tried to call me. I dialed back quickly.
"Hello?" He sound strange.
"Steven?" I asked. Maybe I accidentally call the wrong person?
"Connie?! Hey sorry for not picking up your call, uh must have been busy or not around a good signal."
"It's fine. Did you find what you were looking for?" Maybe he found the item, him and the gems have been searching for.
"Huh?" He yelled.
"The magical item you and the gems went looking for today." "Oh yeah, no we didn't. Garnet thought it would be best if we got home before it was to late and I got sleepy and walked off a cliff."
I laughed lightly. "Please don't do that."
He chuckled awkwardly. "Yeah that wouldn't be good." He went quite for a moment.
"Are you alright?" I asked. Normally Steven was more talkative especially when we haven't talked all day.
"Yeah sorry I'm just...really tired." He said finally. I felt a bit bad.
"Okay why don't I let you go, so you can sleep. I'll see you Thursday for movie night."
"No I can't do movie night this Thursday." I felt a sense of shock go through me.
"What?! Why not?" Steven's never canceled movie night before, he's stay home from mission, made it so they got done with missions early, even right after missions, And truthfully those were my favorite movie nights.
Even before me and Steven got together they were my favorite. It was and still is a bit of a guilty pleasure really. It's just those movie nights when he just got home from late missions or sometimes had only been home for an hour, always meant that he would end up cuddling me while we watched, and he would even sometimes fall asleep on me. Which was really cute.
"I'm really sorry Connie. I just don't think I'll be able to make it in time. I promise I'll make it up to you."
It hurt, it really did. I understood why he was canceling, it wasn't over something stupid, but I missed him and I really want to see him.
"It's okay Steven." My voice sounded off even to me.
"No it's not okay, but I'm really sorry to cancel." I nodded. "It's fine. I got to go home work and all. Bye."
"Bye. I love you."
"Love you too." I added before hanging up.
