Connie and Steven were jamming it out in front of his house. Steven with his ukulele and Connie with her violin while they were sitting next to lion with steven's wheelchair folded up. He still needed a week for his leg to heal but he didn't mind. The gems have not left his side since he's returned worrying if he'll disappear again but since connie was with him, they laid off.

Steven then stopped playing causing connie to look at him confused.

"Is something wrong steven?"

"Connie, what was going through your mind when I was kidnapped?" said Steven. He looked at her with a serious look.

"I was terrified. Terrified that I would never see you again. Steven, without you in my life, my life would be missing a huge part. You've changed my life for the best and I was so angry at myself for not being able to protect you. Like I failed-"

Steven grabbed her by her shoulders firmly but not harsh.

"My kidnapping was not your fault connie. You couldn't have known Blue Diamond was there, I didn't even know she would be there. But you want to know something connie? I was scared that I would never see you, my family and my friends ever again. But the zoomans gave me hope that I would return to earth." said Steven

Connie looked up at him with surprise.

"And you know what, I'm still scared. What if they find out I escaped. They could send some gems to earth that could threaten all of us. Makes me think if I should have just stayed in the zoo." said Steven as he began to shed tears

Connie tenderly grabbed Steven by his cheeks and brought his face to hers.

"Whatever happens Steven, we'll get through it together."

Connie and Steven stayed like that until Connie brought her lips to his. Steven gave in to the embrace and kissed her back. They pulled back with blushes on their faces. They both had small grins on their faces.

Connie was the first to break the silence. "I have to go home steven, it's getting late"

"That's alright, I'll see you tomorrow?"

"Sure, need help with your wheelchair?"

Lion grabbed steven by the back of his shirt and placed him in chair.

"I guess not hehe."

Connie pushed steven to his house with smiles on their faces.

Meanwhile, in Earth's orbit

A small blue gem was viewing her assignment on a tablet.

"This must be an important assignment since my diamond's pearl personally gave it to me."

Aquamarine had a big smile on her face.

"Maybe if I complete this task, my status in the court will move up and I'll have even more authority over the gems."

A big yellow gem then walked in with two gems on each side of her head.

"Topaz, have you found the location of the human?"

Topaz nodded and gave Aquamarine the tablet.

"Beach city? Humans are so primitive in their naming of their settlements. But why is this steven so important to my diamond? No matter, the sooner I get this task done, the better. And I won't have to work with a Topaz no more."

Aquamarine turned to Topaz

"Listen Topaz, we'll give those humans a chance to give us the human and if they refuse to comply…. well my diamond didn't say anything about causalities."
