*Hey guys!

I'm back with Love Too Strong!

And, yes, there will be slight pearlnet, don't like?

Then don't read. Tbh, I don't really care. I write because I like

it and I could care less whether you like or not, so, if you don't like "lesbians"

(they aren't even really girls) then too frickin bad! My story, don't hate because of pearlnet.

Sorry for the long author's note...*

"Guys!" Steven ran into the house, hoping for the gems to be there, and luckily they were. The now 16 year old Steven, seem very excited when he came into the house, Amethyst smiled, "Whatcha so work up about, Steven?"

"Connie called me her boyfriend today at lunch!" Although when he was 13 he didn't go to school, he talked the gems into allowing him to enter the high school so he and Connie could hang out more. Pearl smiled, "Ooh! That's wonderful, Steven!" He smiled proudly, Connie and Steven had officially started dating a few weeks ago (Connie's dad finally allowed Steven to date-date her). Garnet put her hand on his shoulder, "That's good." Even though it wasn't a whole lot, it made a huge thing to Steven, "Thanks, Garnet."

Steven went upstairs to his room, he looked at it. Over the years, it changed from little kid things, to more adult things, such as; a few weights (Steven got into lifting shortly after he entered high school), a better game systems, with newer games that Pearl finally let him play, and less posters with Star Battles on them. Steven looked at himself in the mirror, he smiled, 'I guess those workouts have been working.' His body went from a little pudgy, to a very built teenager. He almost had a six-pack and a very toned chest (even though he never admitted it, he did this for Connie.) He felt his pocket vibrate, he pulled his phone out and answered, "Hello?"

"Hey, Steven!"

"Sup, Connie."

"Hey, you wanna go to the movies tonight? I have a free Friday!"

"Awesome! What time?" She said they should meet around 6:45, so Steven decided to get ready. He dug in the closet below his bedroom, 'Hmm, I could've sworn I had a red hoodie.' He turned around and saw Pearl at the kitchen counter, "Hey, Pearl, where's my red hoodie?"

"Oh, it should be drying right now."

"Thanks!" And out the door he went. He climbed up to the hand that held the laundry, and saw his hoodie swaying with the wind, he smiled and grabbed the red garment, he slid it on and headed back for the house, only to go straight to the bathroom.

He combed his messing fro as well as he could, after a few tries to straighten it, he gave up and decided to just brush his teeth.

At Connie's house, she tried to find the perfect outfit, but, for a teen-aged girl, it was a lot harder than expected. She sighed furiously, 'Fine! I'll just wear the pink t-shirt Steven gave me for my birthday.' She slid on the pink t-shirt that had big, yellow star in the middle of it. She smiled, it reminded her so much of when they were children. After she put on her skinny jeans, she looked at herself in the mirror, her girlish body had now transformed into a more womanly body, with curves and a larger chest.

She smiled, she had even taken the time to actually try on her makeup, normally, she would've wore mascara and a little bit of base, but she put on eyeliner, mascara, a little bit of eye-shadow, and a light layer of lip gloss. 'I hope he notices.' She looked over her body once again and decided that she finally looked good enough. She walked down stairs and grabbed her black jacket off the coat hanger and said goodbye to her parents.

She walked outside to see Steven pull up in his new car the gems had bought him for his birthday (Greg told them it was 'human tradition'.) It was a white mustang with black leather seats and a gold trim. He stepped out of the car and smiled, "Hey, Connie! Ready?" He opened the door for her, she giggled and got into the car. When Steven returned to the driver's side, he said, blushing lightly, "You look really pretty." Connie shrugged, "Eh, I gave up and put on my favorite shirt." Thsi made Steven smile, the shirt he gave her was her favorite.

As they drove to the movies, Connie asked, "So, did you invite anyone? I didn't...I kinda forgot..." Steven chuckled, "Nah, I figured it could just be me and you, y'know?" She smiled, "Yeah." She held Steven's free hand that had been laying on his leg, he took a hold of her's and said, "I'm happy we can have a date just us." She blushed, "Yeah...you know Steven. Speaking of dating...um, aren't Pearl and Garnet together?" Steven nodded, "Yeah, actually they're getting married in a few weeks."

"Oh! That's so cool! How's it like having two moms?"

"I dunno. I guess it's the same as having just a mom and dad. Because, I still have dad, but it's like I have my moms that take care of me and a dad that's there."

"Oh."

"Yeah, but it's still pretty cool."

Before Connie could say anything else, the car stopped and Steven stepped out. He walked around to the passenger side and opened the door, taking Connie's hand, and together, they walked to counter to pay for their tickets.

Both teens came out of the theater, laughing and joking about the movie, "Yeah! Talk about the worst action movie ever! I swear there was more kissing in than a chick flick!" Connie laughed at this, she was never a big fan of movies with a lot of kissing and lovey-dovey stuff, but, she could act that way around Steven. "C'mon, Steven, I gotta get home!" She drug her boyfriend to the car, he decided to pick on her, "But I don't wanna!" He smiled and started to push against Connie's force, Connie smiled, "Fine then, you won't get a kiss then."

"Whaaaaat!?" He immediately ran for the car, she laughed, and sat down, "You're such a dork! But, I love you anyways." She gave him a kiss on the cheek and sat back. Her expression went from happy to, a confused look. Steven noticed this as soon as she went silent. "Are you okay?" She snapped out of her thoughts, "Oh! Y-yeah, I'm fine." He tilted his head and said, "You sure?"

"Yeah." But the the truth was, she was thinking about something very important. "Hey Steven, are the gems at home?"

"No, why?" The gems just before Steven left, but this question dumbfounded Steven, and he wanted to know what was on Connie's mind. She answered with a sigh, "I was wanting to come over."

"Oh, okay." So Steven drove them to his house. When they entered the house, both Steven and Connie went upstairs to his bedroom, and Connie on the bed. "You ready?" Steven answered slightly frightened at what the answer may be, "For what?"

"To get your ass kicked!" That's when Connie pulled out the new Rock Fighters III: Battle for Kings video game. It was the number one rated game for the year, and Steven was more than ready to play, "Oh my gosh! You actually got the game!" She nodded with a smirk on her face, "Yeah, but you're still getting your ass kicked! I. Am. The master!"

"Oh yeah? You're on!" Connie put the disk into the system and took the first player controller, but Steven didn't mind, he was ready to get his girlfriend's butt at her own game. After several rounds of Connie winning, both teens started to become drowsy, and, without thinking they went to sleep, without a care in the world. Connie curled up in Steven's arms, and Steven holding her tightly made it the best night they had ever had.
