Two weeks
It has been two weeks since steven was taken and not much else changed. Steven has given up hope on getting out of the zoo. In fact, he even believes his family is better without him. If they truly loved him, why haven't they rescued him.
But Steven is never depressed, he has the zoomans for company. He enjoys playing games with them and has even taught them new games. The first game he taught them was marco polo.
The zoomans enjoyed playing marco polo but when steven first taught them the game, they had a hard time saying marco polo. They explained the marco nor polo were there names.
J-10 enjoyed weaving flowers into steven's hair, making a little flower crown. She commented on how his hair is so fluffy, soft and so delicate. She also enjoys hugging steven whenever steven is depressed of course that rarely happens.
But what was going to shock steven was something called the choosenning.
Three days earlier
Steven and all the zoomans were busy talking to each other when their earrings started to glow.
"Attention inhabitants, it is now time for the choosenning, please gather in a circle."
Steven was confused on what the choosenning was so he asked Y-6.
"Hey Y, What's the choosenning?"
"The choosenning chooses two people so they can be together forever."
"Oh I get it, on earth, that's called marriage."
They got to the circle where all the zoomans were gathered.
"Come stand next to me steven"
"Um… okay" steven did not like the sound of this. I'm new here so maybe I won't be choosenned.
U-10's earrings started to glow
"U-10, step into the circle" U-10 was excited for being chosen.
"U-10, whoever is chosen for you will be one lucky person" steven called out
Suddenly, F-3's earrings started to glow
"F-3, step into the circle." F-3 embraced his partner as the choosenning ended.
"It is now time to gaze at the stars"
All the zoomans fell asleep except for one; steven.
Was this going to be my life? When I get older, was a mysterious voice going to tell me who I would end up with? Man, I got lucky today.
" I'm going to get out of here".
Three days later
"Hey Y-6 can I ask you question?"
"Of course steven"
"Well, is there a way out of here like a door that opens to the outside?"
"What's a door?"
"... you know what. Just forget about it"
"okay steven. Anything else"
"Actually yeah, does anyone else come into the zoo?"
"Well whenever one of our friends is hurt, a big woman comes in and comforts them."
"A big woman you say?" He must be talking about the amethysts.
"And whenever someone gets hurt, they come in?"
"Yes, why do you ask steven?"
"Oh nothing" I finally have a plan to get out of here, but it's going to be painful.
Later
After wash time, all the zoomans were sleeping except for one.
Steven snuck his way to the waterfall and climbed to the top. Instead of facing the pool, he faced the area where there was grass.
"Well there's no turning back" steven said to himself
Steven looked at the zoomans for the last time. "Bye you guys, I hope I see you guys again one day."
He looked at the ground and took a deep breath. He took a running start and jumped.
He landed straight on his right leg causing it to fracture. The pain was excruciating for steven but he knew he had to get out of the zoo. And with that he gave one big yell.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" cried Steven
That scream was enough for the zoomans to wake up and run towards the sound. When J-10 got there, she was horrified at the sight she saw. Tears were streaming down steven's face and his hands were supporting his broken and bloodied leg. Soon, the rest of the zoomans caught up with her.
"Steven!" J-10 yelled as she ran up to him. She supported his head with her right hand while the rest of the zoomans surrounded steven.
"Steven, are you okay?!"
"No, I broke my leg after I fell from the waterfall. It hurts so much"
The rest of the zoomans had tears coming down their faces. They couldn't bear seeing one of their friend's in pain.
On the other side of the zoo
"Did you hear that?!"
"Yeah, sounded like a scream"
"Really, I thought it was just holly blue's voice."
The two amethysts snickered to themselves until holly blue agate appeared.
"What are you two laughing about?!"
The Amethysts then stood straight facing her and said in cue "Nothing Holly Blue Agate!"
"Well find out where the scream came from and report back here. Understand defect"
"Yes ma'am" and with that, they entered the zoo.
"Oh why was I assigned earth quartzes"
Back to steven's predicament
The pain was starting to be unbearable for steven and he thought no gem was going to come.
Oh me and my stupid-
"What's going on here!"
Actually, it's worked perfectly
The two amethysts started shoving their way through the crowd wanting to figure out what was going on.
"Alright, out of the way. What's so important that all of you are awa-"
When the amethyst saw steven, she had a look of shock on her face. Steven was being supported by J-10 and his leg has gotten worse. He started losing a lot of blood and all of it was seeping onto the ground. And the broken leg was starting to turn pale.
Even though gems don't have organs, the sight made the amethyst want to hurl.
"Hey sharky, you found where the noise came from?"
"YEAH! Listen uhh skinny, go back outside and get a stretcher.
"WHY!?"
"One of the humans got hurt"
After skinny brought back the stretcher, she too was horrified at the sight of the injured human.
Sharky carefully picked up steven so she wouldn't aggravate the wound any further. She then placed on the stretcher and carried him out.
The rest of the zoomans closely followed the quartzes up until the door.
"STEVEN, DON'T WORRY! YOU'LL BE OKAY AND BACK HERE IN NO TIME!" Y-6 cried out in tears before the door closed behind steven.
That brought a depressing feeling to steven's heart knowing that they'll never see him again. Just like on earth, he wished he could have said goodbye.
Now, time to break out of this place.
In the next chapter, we'll see why the crystal gems have taken so long reaching steven.
I want to tell everyone that since this is my first fanfic, it'll be short. But don't worry, i have a few ideas for fanfics. One is steven universe vs Mr Freeze. My idea is that victor freeze was kidnapped during the renaissance era and was forcibly fused with a couple of sapphire gems, causing him to gain ice powers but causing him to stay below subzero temperature or risk dying of heat stroke. Building a suit he learned from his friend leonardo da vinci,He will now look for any gem he encounters, regardless if there crystal gems or homeworld.
