Connie awoke in a dark brown rocky place that shined and sparkled. She began to walk around, heart racing with each step.

"Hello?" She called hearing her voice echo. She was struggling to keep calm but her nervous mind was starting to imagine scary things. What if she never got out?! She would die, no food, water, family, gems, Steven.

"Hello? Hello please?! HELLO!?" She screamed banging on the rocks but did nothing to them.

"So your the being my gem called for. I never thought you'd be a human. Maybe a strong pure hearted gem but your just a human." A arrogant smooth female voice rang through the place as Connie frowned.

"You gems are sure to-wait what?! I'm in a gem?! H-how? Why?" Connie gasped not knowing what to do.

"Yes, yes freak out like that's going to help you. I don't know what I felt when I sent those communication waves but I'm sure by the way your acting it wasn't you but its too late. I'm already feeling my memories sip away. Make sure you treat my gem right kid.

"What! No! Wait what do you mean?!" Connie asked but the voice didn't respond instead she felt a new power flow inside her and all her body.

"What are we gonna do?! This is crazy man!"

"How did she get that?! She's like the Steven now!

"Why, how? Tell me everything!"

"Don't snap at me like your something! Like I have to listen to a fucking word you say! I told you I found her like that!"

"Both of you calm down."

"You really think you have any power over me fusion?! Ha! I'd love to see you try! It was your Pearl who started it in the first place!"

"STOP! She's waking up!"

"Oh space rocks!"

"Peridot! Language!"

Connie opened her eyes to a bundle of gems even Jasper.

"Garnet, Pearl, Amethyst? Lapis? Jasper? Peridot? Steven too? What's going on?" Connie groaned as she suddenly remembering everything.

"Oh no, no, no, no! Tell me its not real!" Connie shouted as all of the gems looked down. Jasper however only growled and walked out of the house. Steven walked up to the group and whispered something to the gems. They nodded, the Crystal gems went into their rooms, Peridot into the bathroom and Lapis out the door.

"Steven... What I'm I going to do?! My parents, school, everything is ruined! Don't get me wrong gems are great and all but I had plans for my life!" Connie cried hugging herself tight as Steven hugged her.

"Being a gem, well half gem isn't so bad. You get to go on cool missions, have your own magical weapon, get super strength and other cool stuff I can't remember." Steven smiled as Connie growled.

"Its not so fine and dandy! I was supposed to go to school, get an education, get a nice job, travel, work, experience life! Now I don't know if I can do any of that anymore and let's not forgot about my parents! They are going to kill me. They are going to fucking kill me. I won't ever get to see you or the gems or anyone here again. We'll move, they'll try to get the gem removed, shun me, punish me, rule my life from here on out. Its over. Once I go home, it'll be the last time I see Beach City." Connie whispered in a deadly hush. Steven grew pale and gulped.

"Connie I-!" He was cut short by angry voices at the door. Both kid's hearts sank.

"My parents!" Connie yelped as she she ran to the door. Before she could even muster out a single word, the door to the house was painted red. Connie gasped and stared at her parents as they did to her before they were lifted up and flung into the ocean. A monstrous gem creature was roaring its heart out trying to attack anything in its way. Steven watched the whole thing too and nearly threw up. He quickly ran over to Connie and stared deep into her shocked eyes. Slowly they seemed to come back to life filling up with wet tears. She screamed bloody murder and cried furiously into Steven's shoulder. This alerted the Crystal Gems and Peridot.

"What the hell?" Yelled Amethyst summoning her whip

"Oh no..." Garnet whispered.

"What's wrong?! Garnet what happened?!" Pearl asked.

"The cluster! Run!" Peridot shouted as everyone looked at her.

"What?"

"Amethyst, Pearl go after that gem monster out there, Steven you do your best to consult Connie, and Peridot stay here." Garnet ordered as everyone nodded. Peridot nodded with a grumble.

"We have to go fight it." Connie suddenly said through all the chaos.

"Connie-!" Steven started as Connie punched him in the gut.

"I said we have to go fight it! I'm not going to sit here and let that thing live! It killed my parents!" She shouted as Steven growled.

"At last you got to know yours and you didn't have to punch me! I was only trying to help!" He shot back as Connie turned to the door and grabbed her sword.

"Just shut up! Don't pull that bullshit on me!" Connie snapped.

"Bullshit?! So know me not knowing my mother that saved the planet is bullshit?!" Steven questioned angrily getting into Connie's face.

"You didn't just see yours get killed in front of you plus you still have a dad so yeah its bullshit!" Connie snarled holding her sword tight. Both kids huffed angrily at each other. Their gems brightly flew. Suddenly Steven grabbed Connie's shirt, dipped her and kissed her. They're anger was immediately forgotten as Connie started to cry again.

"I'm so sorry Steven! I didn't mean any of that I was just-!" Connie cried as Steven silenced her with a hug.

"Me too I should have been more open minded about it in the first place." Steven sighed as they both sat down on the couch. They sat in silence for awhile before Peridot cautiously walked to them.

"Um the Steven and the Hu-Connie...are you two ok? I'm I doing it right Steven?" Peridot asked as Steven smiled with glee.

"Yes! Great job!" Steven praised the little gem as she smiled.

"Yes thanks Peridot." Connie smiled as the gem beamed proudly.

"Well it wasn't hard at all thanks to my superior mind."

"Connie do you have anywhere you can live?" Pearl asked gently as the gems crowded around Connie.

"No. My parents were never close to my grandparents and my relatives are far away. I have no one." Connie sighed as Garnet gently cupped her face.

"Your wrong. You have us. Connie would you like to live with us?" Garnet asked as everyone gasped.

"Really? Thank you!" Connie smiled crying.

"OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!" Steven shouted running around.

"Cool." Amethyst said smiling.

"Wait the Connie is staying with us?" Peridot asked confused.

"Garnet? Are you sure?" Pearl asked worried.

"Yep...its the least I can do." Garnet whispered the last part with sadness.

Yep...that just happened. Pls don't be mad. Sorry for not writing sooner. Being sick sucks. Oh and Happy Birthday Steven! Being 14 is going to be cool. BTW who knew he was 13 turning 14? Wtf?
