Chapter 3:

As the two kids waited in line for the Ferris wheel, they talked about anything and everything. Whether it be something funny that happened earlier that day or thoughts about their futures, they simply couldn't get enough of each other's voices. They shared smiles and giggles all the way until their time for boarding was up. This is it Steven, he started to think. Now there's no turning back.

Steven and Connie quickly entered the cabin together that awaited their arrival. Steven looked up and calculated that there should be exactly 6 stops until they reached the highest point possible with around a minute or 2 of waiting in between. "Are you going to sit down, Steven?" asked Connie who already was sitting down on the bench.

Steven cheeks seemed to explode in a pink hue as looked down at her and replied. "Oh, yeaah. He-he."

Steven, not wanting to have to make Connie wait, sat down right next to her. There was a low hum that emitted into the air as all the trolleys on the Ferris turned slightly in a circle. "What did you think of today, Connie?" Steven questioned once the abrupt noise ceased.

"It was one of the best days of my life!" Connie replied whilst rearranging her position. This way she'd be able to talk to him way more easier. "I still can't believe my parents let me go with you without any parental supervision. They must really trust you, Steven!"

And once again the two kids went off talking and talking and talking. While one shared their story, the other listened intently and vice versa. They were so deep in conversation that they didn't notice the other 4 times they moved upwards. Only when Steven looked out of their trolley during a break in their conversation did he realize they were nearly at the top.

Steven's mind burst into panic mode, filling his thoughts with negative outcomes and what if's. He attempted to somewhat real his thoughts back in so he could ask his question without chickening out, but concluded in failure. "Hey Steven," asked Connie looking worried. "Is something bothering you?"

This snapped Steven back into attention with his worries completely chained down. "Oh um, yeah." he started. "Connie, I have something to tell you. Something really important."

"You can tell me anything Steven." Connie replied. "You know that."

Now both kids were standing up on the trolley. They have finally reached the top of the wheel, and it was now or never. "Connie," Steven started to say while looking directly into her eyes. "I've known you now for 2 years. Every time I look at you, I get butterflies in my stomach. Every time I think of you, I can't wipe the smile off my face for the rest of the day. Every time I see you hurt, even in the smallest of ways like a paper cut, I want to make you feel better, hold you, and obliterate the thing that even dared to damage you. You're beautiful in my eyes, even when you don't think you are. I feel like a knife is puncturing my heart every time you admit that you don't think you're special. Connie, you are special. At least, to me you are. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I love you Connie and I'd like for you to become my girlfriend."

By the end of his speech, Connie was teary eyed. No one, beside her parents, have told her these things to her. She was deeply touched by his sincerity that she was left awe struck. Connie knew how to reply though. In fact, she has known what to say to this for some time now since she's thought the same of him. "Steven, of course! I'd love to become your girlfriend! I've actually been waiting to see if you thought of me, the same way I think of you."

Steven simply could not be happier right now. He thought it was unfathomable that Connie loved him too! He was grinning from ear to ear now and it was certain that it would not go away for some time. Steven silently whispered, "Does this mean I can kiss you now?"

Connie shyly nodded her head yes and just kept smiling. Steven stepped forward a little bit towards Connie, and then slowly started leaning in as did Connie. They both closed their eyes at the same time, and finally sealed both their lips together in a passionate kiss. Steven wrapped his arms around Connie's back as she wrapped her arms around his neck. Steven's and Connie's minds exploded in pure excitement and love as they continued their act of love towards each other. Both so lost in the moment, they didn't realize Steven's gem started glowing and both their bodies became one, forming for the third time, Stevonnie.
