Thank you Lady shadow92 for the amazing idea which I may or may not use because I just come up with all my ideas on a whim! (Yeah I but most of you have guessed that by now..) And I'm finally deciding to type this after finding out a new game is coming out for my favorite series and went on a marathon of it, and also! After seeing some other fan fiction's I have a goal for mine, I want to reach as many words and chapters as I possibly can, I want to reach at least 100,000 words, although not that many I think it'd be a nice goal, and 40 chapters.

EDIT: The guest who speaks Spanish, I've been translating your words in google translate so from what you've reviewed, thanks!

Steven warped through the warp stream, he opened his eyes seeing the warp stream flicker and holes ran through it Steven passed his hand through the hole and noticed it felt cold, very cold, he had felt this same cold before..Just before meeting Peridot. Steven waited patiently for the warp stream to arrive at its destination.

After at least a full minute Steven arrived he looked around...It wasn't his home it was...The..The Sea Spire? He was underneath the Sea Spire again...But why? Did this give some sort of answer to who or how he got here/ brought him here. He touched the water, it felt cold, similar to the warp stream he saw the sea spire ripple and tear until it faded into the warp stream again once it completely faded he was warped back to his house, and there they were, Centipeedle and Lion just as he'd left them, which meant there was no way he could warp back to his home.

Steven sighed there had to be something he could do to take his mind off of home, his real home, not here. He looked out the window, he didn't want to go to the big donut today, nor get fry bits, where else could he go then? He thought for a moment he hadn't gone to the arcade in a while had he? It would take his mind off of it, but honestly he wasn't feeling like the arcade today...Maybe...Hmm...He thought about this for a while whilst getting something to drink.

Steven winced at the sour milk, it was at least a few weeks old, they needed to go shopping... He sighed, wiping his sweat drenched face with a towel. Steven glanced at the clock that read 2:00 PM how long was he in the warp stream?!

Steven walked along the board walk with Pearl, she planned to go shopping with him out of town. Where Pearl got the money was beyond Steven, but he was just glad to be able to eat something after all that'd happened, well at least get food to eat. Pearl materialized a wad of cash in the palm of her hand and put it in a makeshift purse Amethyst had, "Found" or so she claimed. Pearl rolled her eyes as she saw that the purse had a huge hole in the side, typical.

Pearl arrived with Steven after a fifteen minute walk with several breaks, at the town, Pearl saw the sign had simply written on it, "Amber Town" It wasn't all that special, it was relatively small with a convenience store, fast food place, diner, and shopping mall, no big city special places, there was a neighborhood off to the left on a path that was seemingly a large garden towards the large residents homes.

Pearl strolled down towards the small shopping mart humans called "Convenience stores" except bigger, and let Steven pick what he pleased, while grabbing ingredients for full meals she knew the boy wouldn't pick out, by inevitably want some time or another. She tossed milk and eggs, cheese, butter, small meats, condiments ranging from ketchup to hot sauce, and a few boxes of cereal, she also did some impulse shopping and saw a sweater she decided to wear for coming up new years eve in months. She saw some boxes of food labeled, "Lunch Buddies" Consisting of, two slices of long bread, american cheese, deli meat, and mayonnaise, with a bag of chips and candy for side items, along with cool-aid as a drink. She tossed a few into the cart, also seeing a few building materials a ways off she headed towards the area with tools and building supplies.

It was farther off from the food section, the shopping mart didn't only have foods, but it also seemed to be a whole separate building from the food section. She gazed at paints and wood, remembering she might want to stock up the barn again in case she wanted to do any hands on machines any time soon. (Lots of references to later episodes I know.) She put them in the basket dubbed as the, 'shopping cart.' And headed back to meet with Steven to see the items he picked up.

Steven had decided on a few ice cream sandwiches, while he could get them at the Big Donut he decided he liked these better, and chose not to tell Lars and Sadie. Also a bag of chips that he planned to conserve.

After paying and leaving the store Pearl took Steven home, she wanted to leave quickly in case the gem monsters from earlier came back again.

On the way back Steven's eye caught the arcade, and for just a moment he thought one of the arcade machines flickered dangerously blue, it was almost unnatural. Pearl kept pushing him forward onward home though, so he didn't get a good enough look at the arcade.

"STEVEN!" He heard his name called and sat up, not realizing he had fallen asleep on the couch. He didn't remember falling asleep, it was a long day at the store though.. "Hey~!" Amethyst interrupted his thoughts yet again.

"Amethyst?" Steven called and looked up to see her handing off the loft or his "bedroom". He turned to face Amethyst a bit better and saw she was smirking.

"Arcade."

"What?"

"Lets go to the arcade!" Amethyst repeated, Steven was shocked. Why did she want to go so badly?

"Why?" He asked, echoing his thoughts. She grinned.

"Because~ Pearls getting mad at stuff falling down into my room once again and of course somehow its my fault! So I wanted to do something fun while shes getting my room clean or whatever, but GOOD LUCK PEAARL~" Amethyst shouted in the temples direction, obviously calling down to Pearl to aggravate her further. "- And I remembered there was a new arcade opening up so~" She continued, and paused again.

"You want me to come with..But why?" Steven asked, she could obviously go by herself, Amethyst faltered then, a sad look crossed her face for a second. Steven looked up to face her, his vision was a little blurry, once it cleared Amethysts face was back to normal again.

"Cause' I need you to ask Pearl for money for tokens!" Amethyst half lied. Steven kept an eye on her, blinking a few times before slowly nodding, what was wrong with her? She looked so... Lonely.

Steven recalled the image of her upset look, it looked...Perhaps longing, as if she wished he'd said something else- actually... Anything but that her face looked just as it had in the kindergarten, just more grief stricken. She was less annoyed and hopeless, as if she hated her entire being- no it wasn't that, it was almost if she directed that look at him. Could it be that...Maybe she'd figured it out just by asking that question? But how? What- He had only asked why. She looked at him with heavy despair and it hurt him just to look deep into his friends eyes like they were pools of darkness, although his vision was blurry, he understood quite well what her expression told him: "You can't keep this secret forever." That's exactly what it told him. It was true. That why- it could have been the trigger, normally he wouldn't have asked why he'd have just gone for it, that must've been what set her off. She noticed how different he became in a snap, as if he'd grown a year in one night, which he technically had.

"Amethyst..." He said softly, she was so close. So close to figuring him out. If she could find the right opportunity she could definitely call him out. But it was still so early! How had he broken so quickly, how had his facade cracked? Was that how it worked? One falter; one screw up and he could no longer hide it? The predicament tore at him, tugging at his mind in a spot he just couldn't reach to bat it away, it nagged at him; and that meant Amethyst was winning.

She wanted him to break. If he broke, that would mean she would finally know what was up with him, and he knew how much this was bugging her not knowing how to help, that feeling of helplessness; if he was honest with himself he would've done the same if the roles were switched.

Steven opened the door to the arcade, slipping inside with Amethyst who was already by the counter, waiting for Steven to pay for the tokens. She grinned as he set down about twenty dollars and some change, giving them a total of sixty tokens, they split it evenly, thirty each.

Amethyst flipped a coin with her fingers as she decided what game to play. she glanced at the 'Meat meat mania' machine brightly glowing with neon colors and shrugged, ignoring the fact that the machine nearly blinded her eyes. She grabbed a ham and began.

Up, down, left, right, repeat. Amethyst did this three times over before level two started up. Down, left, right up, down right left, up, up right left down...This continued for a few minutes before Amethyst became addicted, shaking the meats with the multicolored symbols, finding herself really good at it, and only for two tokens!

She eventually got to level seventeen before she lost, slipping and tripping over her shoe..somehow. She guessed it was for the best; but started over anyways, putting in two tokens.

"Amethyst!" Steven cried before seeing Amethyst insert two tokens into the machine, she only seemed to have about twelve left?! "Y-you need to stop!" Steven called as she started up another round.

"No way! I wanna beat my old high score!" Amethyst said whist shaking the meats. "Unless you wanna play along?" She asked. Steven started to say something, but noticed a smirk in her face. She was planning something.

It was true, Amethyst was planning something, she had decided that if Steven beat her in this game and knew all the moves and won as though he knew what exactly was gonna happen, then her theory was correct, if not, well then she'll find out if it happens.

After a short round Steven gave up, he lost three times in a row, seeing how addicting the game really was, he slammed his head on the arcade machine and groaned, walking around dizzily and Amethyst caught him, smiling, a look of relief crossed over her face. "Ow." He said, rubbing his forehead.

"I knew it.." She said softly, loud enough for Steven to hear. Before he could respond she hugged him tightly, lifting him off the ground and spinning him, "WOO! I WON~!" She cried, doing a dance as she dropped Steven, grinning whist doing so.

His secret was at least a little more safe, but still there was that looming doubt and fear right over his head, with just one more mess up or hint Amethyst would find out, or even worse...Garnet or Pearl. There was no where he could turn, no one he could turn to, he was stuck, cornered. And who knew when Amethyst would cut the rope that held his secret, toppling onto his mask, and his facade would break.

And they'd all know it.

All right, firstly a lot of hints to upcoming chapters, and a lot of symbolism! I FINALLY finished this chapter after about three days of putting it off. And gosh dang it do I hate doing filler, more particularly boring filler, sometimes I like a cool down episode, just relaxing, but I really can't stand episodes like this, so that's why I decided to mix it up and add a bit more depth to just how much Amethyst knows just in case you didn't already get the idea, even though I'm 70% sure you did.

EDIT: The gem monster SYOC is now closed, I only had a few submits (Like two) but I only used one because I had much more than I intended to make on my own.

EDIT AGAIN: Crap I just realized the game was called 'Meat Beat Mania' Thank you Gamelover41592 for pointing that out!
