This will take place after Amethyst, Garnet and Connie talk about Steven. Thank you for all the great reviews and everyone that favorite and following!
Amethyst and Garnet silently walked to Greg's car wash where he always stayed unless him and Steven went out for a day or two. Connie quickly walked to the Big donut to tell Sadie and Lars where Steven was. Connie finally made it there after a long run. She was tired from all the running and jogging but she needed to tell them what was going on.
"Hey Connie." Sadie greeted with a smile on her face while Lars looked up from his afternoon nap.
"What happened to Steven, Connie?"
This reminded Connie of what happened to Steven and her eyes filled with tears. Sadie started to worry when she saw her acting like this. Lars even got up and paid attention.
"He was b..badly hurt a..and h..he he ..."
Connie trailed off as she started to sob again. Sadie ran over to Connie and hugged her trying to comfort her. Lars stood up eyes wide and worried what Connie might say next.
"I..is he a...a... alive?!"
Lars asked showing more worry for Steven now.
"We do... don't kn.. kn.. know." Connie wheezed out.
Lars looked guilty remembering what he said the night before as he realized the gravity of the situation. Sadie tried to comfort Connie while crying herself. Sadie couldn't believe that something like this would happen.
Amethyst and Garnet walked silently no one talked but Garnet could hear Ruby and Sapphire getting louder and louder.
"Why didn't we look ahead we would have seen it!"
"But we didn't and it's not our fault, Ruby."
"It is we could have prevented it we could have saved little Steven!"
"It is not our fault. You need to know that."
"Steven is ... was half a human child he couldn't possibly be able to defend himself like we thought he could. We couldn't even keep Rose! How were we going to keep and take care of a half human child!?
"Steven is more than half of a human he is half gem, Rose's gem."
Amethyst saw that look on Garnet. The look she had before she unfused.
"Maybe I should hold him, Garnet."
Garnet stopped to let Amethyst get the small gem. She reached up and carefully grabbed the little gem and held it in her arms. Garnet then kept walking almost mindlessly. Amethyst stared her once dear friends gem and saw something. She stopped and stared at it for a second. It looked like a crack.
"Garnet you should take a look at this."
Garnet kept walking as Amethyst rubbed the spot with her finger and it went away. "Hmmm it must have been just a weird smudge." She thought as she caught up with Garnet who could hear Ruby and Sapphire fighting in the back of her head.
"He was going to get hurt eventually and... Ruby cut her off
"BUT WE COULD HAVE PREVENTED IT IF WE JUST LOOK AHEAD AND SEEN WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN!"
"We cannot shelter him all of his life, Ruby."
"bUT WE CAN PROTECT HIM!"
"We will not always be their to protect him and keep him safe."
"ROSE GAVE HIM TO US SO WE COULD PROTECT HIM! NOT JUST WATCH HIM GET HURT!
"I see what you are say..."
"DID WE EVER THINK ABOUT HOW HE MIGHT FEEL! HE IS JUST A HUMAN CHILD!"
Amethyst saw a light and two gems falling to the ground.
"HE IS JUST A CHILD!"
Ruby stormed off with tears in her eyes burning the ground as she stomped. Amethyst didn't know what to say. She just stared at sapphire.
"It's been awhile since the last time I saw you."
Amethyst said trying to break the ice.
"Can I hold Steven's gem?"
"Sure, as long as..."
"Don't worry I wont freeze him."
She held the gem and they started to walk to Gregs van and no one said a word. It took a few minutes of silence to get to the car knocked on the van door and Greg came running out with a toaster in his hand.
"Ive got a..." he glanced at what he held " Toaster and im not afraid to use it!" He protested as he turned to see amethyst and Sapphire standing behind him.
"Oh, Amethyst and... Sapphire it's just you." he said putting the toaster back in the van. "What do you need he said as he noticed Sapphire holding something under her hair.
"How can we put this lightly..." Sapphire suddenly blurted out. "Steven was poofed and he is still in his gem."
Greg's eyes widened and he put his hand on his chest and his other on the back of the van and started to breath heavily.
"Oh my... oooohhhh... one second ... where is..."
"Right here."
Sapphire pulled out a pink gem from under her hair.
"Oh Steven, my little Steven." Greg picked up his son's gem crying and sat down hugging the gem in his arms. Tears ran down his cheeks as he sobbed for his son.
"H...how d..d..did thi..this ha... happen?!"
Greg tried to ask though all the tears.
"Well, a monster..."
Amethyst knew she didn't need to say anymore when Greg gave her a horrified look. After they stayed there for awhile Greg, Amethyst, and Sapphire headed back to the temple. Greg still held Steen crying his heart out. Amethyst had tears creaping down her face and Sapphire even started to cry. As they walked home Ruby came back and Ruby and Sapphire made up and fuse again. Connie got permission to stay at the temple for the night. Pearl still didn't move and was still in shock from the loss of Steven. The just sat there crying over there favorite gem, human, and best friend until they saw the gem tart to move and glow. The gem lifted up in the air. Pearl snapped out of her shock and saw what was going on. Everyone was so hopefull and happy. Everyone was smiling as they saw someone coming out.
And I stop there. hahahaha.
