A/N: This one is pretty much a breather episode. Not much happens but it is lampshade... Also just to clear things up form the last chapter, Naruto in the dream was wearing a non-canon outfit. This is intentional, it will be explained later.
Anyways enjoy the chapter!
Chapter 5: The Internet is For… Uh… Fun
One morning during breakfast this came up during conversation.
"So what is this internet thing?" asked Mirajane.
"It's this thing that hooks up using computers. You can go on, write stuff, blog stuff complain about stuff…" Said Steven, "Mostly complain about stuff."
"You know you never explained about blog." Said Mirajane.
"Speaking of blog." Sighed Nami looking out the window, "I'll be right back."
They her chaise him around yelling "Shoo! Shoo! Get away!"
"He still hasn't given up." Said Amethyst.
"No… his blog is nothing but trying to break into the ship." Said Steven, "Even speculating why it's called the Forest Fairy."
"Why is it called that anyway?" asked Amethyst.
"Oh me and Hinata named it, the forest part reprints Hinata's village, the Village Hidden in the Leaves." Said Mirajane taking out the Light Pen to use.
She made a chain of words, "Leaves Trees Forest"
"While the fairy part is obvious." Said Mirajane.
She just wrote "Fairy Tail" and circled the word Fairy.
"Explaining the name?" asked Nami.
"Yeah." Said Mirajane, "Nami didn't want to name the ship since she would tempted to name it after the ships she sailed on."
"Yeah." Sighed Nami.
"What's his theory again?" asked Amethyst.
"It's that the owners of the ship concerned a world filled with forest fairies and that's the name" said Steven.
"He lives in his own world, doesn't he?" asked Nami.
"Pretty much." Said Amethysts.
He began to show them tumblr.
"This is just a blogging site I'm a ember of." Said Steven showing them the site, "I follow mostly people I know."
They looked at the things he followed.
"Who's crossoverprincess?" asked Mirajane.
"I don't know, I thought it was a cheese blog but it's mostly random stuff." Said Steven.
Yes, crossoverprincess' "I like cheese blog" one of the best blogs on Tumblr which everyone should follow.
Anyway they saw that she had posted a poster from a cartoon that featured a white pony wearing a black cloak the captions: "I have failed in my dreams…" and a smaller caption "That is why I have decided to bounce a sith lord."
"What?" asked Nami.
"I'll explain another time." Said Steven.
"Are there other things?" asked Mirajane.
"Yes." Said Steven he showed them a popular video site.
"People post videos here." Said Steven.
He showed them his favorites list, which seemed to be mostly kitty videos.
"Ah you like cats don't you." Said Mirajane.
"He has a pet lion." Said Nami.
They looked at Lion laying in the corner.
"I've been meaning to ask about him." Said Nami.
However Steven was playing a video showing a kitten stuck in a jar.
"Is there anyway to get a bigger screen?" asked Mirajane.
"Oh I have an idea!" said Steven.
Sometime later…
"Thanks Connie." Said Steven as Connie was giving Steven an old tablet.
"It's okay, my dad just bought a new one anyway." Said Connie. "He wasn't sure what he was going to do with his old one."
"Either way it was nice of him." Said Steven.
"But I do wonder why you didn't ask Ronaldo." Said Connie.
"According to this he thinks Nami is evil and is somehow controlling Hinata." Said Mirajane reading off Steven's phone.
"Really?" asked an exasperated Nami.
"She figured out the part with Hinata after she apologized before chasing him off." Said Mirajane.
Hinata blushed.
"Are you swore it's a good idea introducing them to the internet, I mean they come from worlds without phones and TVs." Said Connie.
"We never said anything about phones." Pointed out Nami.
"What you had phones?" asked Steven.
"Sort of." Said Mirajane, "Back home there's a type of magic crystal called Lacrima, among the uses is talk to people long distance."
"We don't have phones but we do have walkie talkies." said Hinata.
"Well my planet has a type of telepathic snails that we mange to tame and work similar to hones and other things." Explained Nami.
"Telepathic snails?" asked Connie.
"Different planet remember." Said Nami.
"Yeah…" said Connie remembering that fact.
"So let's see how you handle the internet." Said Steven getting back to topic if the internet.
Amethyst was laying on the nearby couch.
"Why does this feel like so many things will be boring:" said Amethyst.
"What's that supposed to mean?" asked Nami.
"Anything that will happen will be boring." Muttered Amethyst, "I doubt any of your will be addicted or anything like that."
This just made them all stare at Amethyst.
"This isn't going to be like Meat Beat Mania." Said Amethyst.
"Meat Beat Mania?" asked Hinata.
"Long story." Said Steven, "So let's get you exploring the internet!"
OF course they decided to look at Steven's tumbler dashboard first. But soon moved on to different things.
"You can shop on this?" asked Nami.
"Of course." Said Steven.
Nami was looking at clothes.
"Why do you even want to buy clothes, we can just generate clothes." Said Pearl.
"Oh yeah." Said Nami, "I don't have to buy clothes ever again."
Pearl noticed Hinata reading a book nearby.
"How greedy is she?" asked Pearl finally picking it up.
"Very." Answered Hinata.
"No wonder why she was a pirates." Mumbled Pearl.
That was when Nami deiced to go on a different site.
"Seriously! Is there anything I can do with making maps on this planet?" asked Nami.
"Looks lie she found the satellite maps." Sighed Hinata.
"Yeah." Sighed Pearl having heard about Nami's dream of making a world map.
Sometime later, Hinata was looking alone at various sites. She began to blush. She looked around and made sure no one was around.
However Amethyst was turned into a spider to try to scare her turned back to her normal humanoid form when she saw what she was looking at.
"Wow… I didn't know you were in that." Said Amethyst.
"What!" said Hinata blushing a bright purple color.
"Oh yeah… now I remember you have x-ray vision…" said Amethyst with an evil grin.
Hinata's whole face began purple.
"What are you talking about?" asked Steven.
"Nothing…" said Hinata.
"Yeah... nothing…" said Amethyst knowing that Pearl or Garnet would kill her for talking about that stuff in front of Steven.
Another time Mirajane was looking up recipes.
"All right! They do have it here!" cheered Mirajane.
"They have what?" asked Steven.
"The recipe for Kuzumochi!" said Mirajane, "It's my favorite food."
"IT looks hard to make though." Said Steven.
"It should be fine." Said Steven, "But I thought I would have go without my favorite food unlike Hinata and Nami…"
"By the way…" said Hinata, "Shouldn't we… "
"Hey Steven… can we…" said Mirajane.
Steven remembered the surprise for Nami and helped them with finding one.
"Okay this one looks nice." Said Steven.
"I don't know." Said Mirajane, "It looks a bit expensive."
Of course that phrase got Nami's attention.
"What are you doing?" asked Nami.
Thankfully they planned for this so they put on a video of a 3-week-old kitten meowing angrily at a German Shepard because he's lying in her spot.
"Oh it's so cute!" squad Mirajane.
"That won't work against such a big dog." Said Steven.
Nami blinked and walked away. They switch bad to the other page.
"We have to figure out what's the best route opt take." said Mirajane, "Remember if it seems unhealthy we could always figure out way to make it healthy using the ship systems."
"You already made plans on where to put it?" asked Steven.
"We've been working on modifying one of the spare rooms to be a garden." Said Hinata.
Steven smiled, although due to the fact that the Crystal Gems didn't fully trust the three yet, Steven wasn't allowed on the ship for now.
It seems like there was no problems with the internet so far…
Until one day…
Mirajane decided to check out a certain site despite not knowing much fiction on Earth.
"Mirajane are you all right you look like you're in a trance." Said Nami.
"Oh no!" said Steven seeing what site, "She's on TV Tropes!"
"What?" asked Nami.
Steven managed to take away the tablet from her.
"What happened?" asked Steven.
"I saw a link on Tumblr and one thing led to another…" sighed Mirajane.
"That site is addictive." Said Steven, "I know since I spend a lot of hours on it… and…"
His eyes trialed to the site.
"I never noticed that." Said Steven.
Pearl noticed Steven's face.
"TV Tropes again?" asked Pearl.
Mirajane nodded.
"He's going to be there until dinner." Sighed Pearl.
"Seriously that's it?" asked Amethyst, "Really?"
"What do you mean?" asked Mirajane.
"I would have thought one of you would be addicted by this point." Sighed Amethyst.
"Oh Amethyst." Said Mirajane, "Just because crazy stuff happens all time doesn't mean it will happen every time."
"She has a point." Said Pearl with a shrug.
Amethyst sighed.
And so they learned and used the internet and since all three of them were relatively sane neon of them got addicted…
Expect for TV Tropes… that site has an effect on everyone so that doesn't count…
