Chapter 6:
( Later that day )
Edward asked hey Amethyst what do you want to do in (fun land ) When we get there? " don't worry it will be awesome after rethinking it Amethyst asked hey do you have anything you want to do Edward? He quickly thought about it and said Amethyst would you mind showing me the places you think are pretty fun to hangout in? " nervously asking. Hmm I know the perfect place as they detour from ( fun land ). And so they head straight for the underground wrestling fights where Amethyst used to wrestle. As they arrived Amethyst told Edward now this place takes me back ( as she remembers when she was her wrestling persona of " the Purple Puma " and then snaps out of it as she sees Edward look around saying cool I've never been to a wrestling arena before he said. Yeah it is isn't it ? I used to wrestle here all the time I even brought Steven here to join me in a couple of fights we were known as the Purple Puma and he was Tiger Millionaire. Whoa that sounds like it must have been fun? Lets go watch as the pair ran inside hopefully to watch some fights.
( some wrestling matches later )….
Edward and Amethyst left the building and Amethyst asked hey Edward how did you like the wrestling?, wasn't it cool? Yeah that's was awesome thx for showing me that was some grade A entertainment. But I think we should start heading back though but it wouldn't hurt just to hangout on the beach for a little bit would it? Edward asked. Nope it sounds perfectly fine after these past few days which were hectic I wouldn't mind just sitting by the water relaxing Amethyst answered. Ok that settles it Lets go Amethyst after he re-summoned his keyblade glider he humbly offered Amethyst a hand and she got on wrapping her arms around him to stay safely onboard saying " hey Edward you know you're a pretty amazing guy were like ( two peas in a pod ) as she laid her head on his back which made him blush a little which prompted him to say I think so to Amethyst I've never met someone like you before im glad we got this chance to hangout it's been enlightening and they were off.
After they had left the wrestling arena Steven ran in and out of cover being from telephone pole to telephone pole and behind a wall where he and Connie as she casually walked there hey Connie I see them walking out of the place where me and Amethyst used to wrestle Steven quickly said quietly so they wouldn't notice them. Hey Steven I think they are heading back to the beach we catch up to them Connie said. We can follow them with the help of lion Steven quickly answered back. And as lion showed up Steven and Connie climbed onto his back and followed the pair sneakily.
Hey Amethyst were here " he said calmly as he and Amethyst got off of his glider and walked towards the water and sit just out of distance of the waves. Hey Edward I had a really fun day today with you Amethyst said. No problem Amethyst im just glad I have someone as beautiful as you in my life Edward told her. Thx I've always kinda felt the same way about you ( she said to him as she moved closer to him until they both looked straight at each other blushing as they admired how the other looked ). Amethyst there is something I wanted to tell you Edward said nervously no worries Edward I feel the same way as she went in to kiss him while holding one of his hands. He picked up on this and went to kiss here back and as he did both of there gems were glowing brightly. While this was happening Steven and Connie while riding on lion quietly walked into the temple and as they did they saw Pearl and Garnet who asked them what have they been doing and Steven answered we just wanted to see how Edward and Amethyst date was going. Garnet responded by saying its not cool to spy on someone like that Steven sometimes you have to respect someone's privacy but just out of curiosity how did it go? It seemed like it went pretty well they looked like they were having fun Connie answering Garnets question. Excuse me but where are they now might I ask? Pearl questioned. Actually they are right outside just sitting by the beach Connie told both of them. Prompting Pearl, Garnet, Steven, Connie to look outside the window right next to the front door. Much to everyone's surprise what they saw was Edward and Amethyst passionately kissing but what really caught Garnets eye's were that Both Edwards and Amethyst gems were glowing very brightly so bright that everyone except Garnet covered there eyes and what they saw was a fusion of them both ( it had Amethyst long hair but it was a white and purple lavender color had Edward's outfit and a mix of both of there appearances face and all ). After the fusion of Edward and Amethyst finally opened there eyes With Edward saying whoa you are an amazing kisser Amethyst. Im happy to hear that also your not to bad yourself handsome Amethyst said back. But um… Amethyst where are you ? Also I feel different. Edward go over to the water and look at your reflection and you'll see where I am Amethyst said softly.
Edward listened to Amethyst and trusted her judgement and so he walked over to the calm waves and looked at his reflection and to his surprise what he saw amazed and fascinated him. Whoa Amethyst is… is this you and me, what happened to us? We look awesome. Don't Worry Edward were ok what we just did is called ( fusion ). What is that ? Is it permanent ? Don't worry its not permanent but fusion is when two or more gems (or half – gem like you and Steven who can fuse with both gems and humans ). Fusions are formed when the participants are emotionally harmonious with each other like how you and me fused because of our strong feelings for each other. It can be spontaneous, but it is usually done by a synchronized dance. Basically when gems fuse their bodies and minds become one and that's the gist of it as Amethyst finished explaining to Edward after they unfused. Ok then I think I understand most of it thank you for explaining it he said kindly.
I think its time to head back to the temple Amethyst said as she held out her hand towards Edward waiting for him so they could hold hands together as they walked back. As they could be seen walking back Steven and everyone else got away from the window before Edward and Amethyst could see them and they all pretended to be doing something else. Then they finally walked inside with Edward opening the door for Amethyst like a gentleman, here you are my lady and with that Amethyst walked inside saying thank you. After that everyone looked toward the pair with Steven, Garnet and Omni saying welcome back you to how was your evening? " It was magical " Amethyst told Garnet im glad you two had fun. Thank so much Edward it was just what the doctor ordered I look forward to hanging out like that with you more often said Amethyst. No problem Amethyst it's the least I could do and yeah we can whenever and that's a promise anyway it looks like me and Omni should be heading back home Edward and Omni said. As Edward and Omni headed for the door Amethyst quickly rushed over to open the door for them and spoke with him right outside on the front porch. Edward before you go I just wanted to tell you that " I love you " and gave him a hug after that sunk into Edward's mind he said Amethyst I love you to and hugged her back and they quickly looked into each other's eye's and simply passionately kissed each other for a few moments and then they headed onto Edward's glider waving goodbye and riding off with Amethyst waving back and then heading back inside the temple. So Amethyst how was hanging out with Edward I mean? Asked Steven. It was absolutely amazing I've never met someone like him before but im glad I did as she sighed falling deep into thought before suddenly saying well I should probably head off to my room to sleep night guys said Amethyst as she headed into her room and Steven who later headed off to sleep leaving just Pearl and Garnet to wonder.
Well Garnet what do you think about those two? Pearl asked the fusion. Well I cant say for sure but if you just look at how well they get along with each other it just feels like they are meant to be together as if there soulmates so I think they will do just fine Garnet said after she messed with her glasses ( signaling that she tried to use her future vision which left her with a slight smile. Hmm… I guess that's alright I mean Amethyst deserves to relax a little especially after all that stuff with the diamonds and homeworld " Pearl said in a understanding tone of voice. We should all take our minds off of it at least for now Garnet said with Pearl nodding in agreement.
( The Next Day )
Edward had woken up a good hour before Omni and with this time to himself Edward used it to meditate in his ( Jiren meditation pose ) thinking to himself " I am happier then I've ever been but when I remember how nice Steven, his dad, the gems and all his friends are I cant help but miss dad and I wish more than anything That I could see my mom but idk how I know I have her gem but I wish I could just speak to her maybe I should ask Steven or Amethyst how he handles everything so well but ill ask him while I go get some stuff for the house later until then ( as Edward turned to his left to see Omni and asking him for his guitar and then going out side to a nearby clearing while Omni went back to sleep as Edward stepped out he wrote a quick note saying " I needed to go sorts some things out and clear my head for a bit. I'll be in the clearing next to the house" then he over there and saw a lone tree full of lush green leafs and decided to sit under it overlooking the forest around the area of their house because he felt like being alone for a little bit).
( Back at the Temple )
Steven and the rest of the gems had already woken up. Steven rushed to see everyone up and about but what caught his eye was seeing Amethyst blushing while staring outside the window just thinking to herself while humming ( La vie en rose by Louis Armstrong) while Garnet and Pearl were in the kitchen washing dishes. Good morning Pearl, Amethyst, Garnet how is everyone? Said Steven. Good morning Steven! the gems say in unison. Hey guys can I ask you something ? I don't see why not said Pearl well I was wondering even though we've only known Edward for a little while and we really haven't seen much of his house so… I was wondering if we could go ask him if we could hangout at his house for a little while and maybe learn the rest of his story if he's willing? Steven asked them all. Oh well… I think it should be alright said Garnet lets go ask Greg if he's willing to take us said Garnet.
( Later as Steven and the gems went to Greg's carwash where he agreed to take the group as long as he got to tag along and as they pulled up to his house they knocked and awaited an answer ).
Hello Edward? Omni? its us Steven and the gems we were just wondering if we could hangout for a little bit? Hmm maybe there not home? Said a slightly worried Amethyst. "just a minute" said a familiar voice which was a lone Omni who rushed towards the door to open it for them. Oh hey guys how is everyone welcome to our home away from home also im not sure where Edward went but im sure he left a note or something Omni said. Don't worry Omni he must be fine and he must have left a note close by so we could find him Steven said in a reassuring voice Oh? Steven I think I found it on the table Pearl pointed out as she scanned through the house it says "I need to sort some things out and clear my head ill be in the clearing next to the house" hmm. Come on guys lets go find him maybe we can help him Steven said optimistically.
After the group learned where Edward was they all made there way over to him. "hey guys why do you think Edward wanted to be alone? Steven asked " well Steven remember he's just a kid like you except he had a tough time growing up. I can only imagine all that anger and sadness he has built up especially after just recently lost his dad and he never got to meet his mom like you meeting Rose said Greg" Its only a matter of time until something pushes him over the edge lets just hope that it doesn't come to that Garnet said with Pearl nodding in agreement with a worried Amethyst, Steven and Greg looking at each other as they all followed behind Omni.
When they finally arrived at the clearing they could distinctly hear faint guitar playing slightly getting louder as they approached until they finally saw him in the distance singing making sure he didn't hear them approaching.
You might have a mom.
She might be the bomb.
But ain't nobody got a mom like mine.
She's my world.
She's my heart.
And there's no denying.
Im her boy no matter what.
Even when I'm lying.
She loving me, loving me, loving me, loving me, love.
She loves me like nobody else.
I'm telling you, telling you, telling you, telling you all.
She taught me how to love myself.
You might have a mom.
She might be the bomb.
But ain't nobody got a mom like mine.
See we go way back.
Oh, I remember.
All the times that I cried.
She made me feel better.
She loving me, loving me, loving me, loving me, love.
She loves me like nobody else.
I'm telling you, telling you, telling you, telling you all.
She taught me how to love myself.
You might have a mom.
She might be the bomb.
But ain't nobody got a mom like mine.
Her love's till the end.
She's my best friend.

She's my best friend.
Ain't nobody got a mom like mine…
Ain't nobody got a mom like mine.
Baby, Baby, ain't nobody…
Ain't nobody got a mom like mine. ( end )
After Edward finished his song he stood up and looked up into the sky and said " mom I wish I could at least meet you once " as the gems heard him say this they could just barely see him starting to cry which made them all feel even more sorry for him because he felt so lonely. While Edward was still trying to stop crying Steven and the gems slowly walked up behind him. Hey Edward are you ok? Amethyst asked worriedly. Rubbing the tears out of his eyes and recomposing himself " Oh I didn't see you guys there sorry you guys had to see me like that. Was there something you guys needed? Oh well actually we were wondering if you would take us to one of those new worlds you were telling us about we just wanted to check if there are any corrupted gems I mean if its alright with you said Garnet in her normal monotone voice. Well I guess there is this one place I've been meaning to check out because my dad told me that there is a clue about my mom that might be there but Steven don't you want to invite Connie to go with us? That's a great idea Edward hey guys me and Edward are going to ask Connie if she would like to join us. Yeah me and Steven won't take long so please feel free to make yourselves at home until we get back come on Steven let's go.
As Steven and Edward are walking out side Edward summons his keyblade glider gets on and then saying as he held out a hand for Steven " all aboard " Wow is what a Star eyed Steven said as he admired Edward's weapon and then got on and they headed to the board walk hoping to run into Connie.
As they passed by the Big Donut Steven saw Sour Cream and noticed that he was carrying many flyers. "hey Edward could you stop for a sec Steven asked hmm oh sure Steven he responded. As they stopped and they got off Steven asked Sour Cream what's wrong? Oh Steven it's Onion he's missing. Huh he's missing? Hmm as Steven tries to recall if he has seen Onion in any of his favorite places, but is unable to help. Hehe maybe he might just be "raving in s friends backyard". After saying that he continues to hang flyers, asking Steven to give some to Lars and Sadie, because the Big Donut is closed.
As Sour Cream leaves, Steven and Edward are left a little confused as to why is the Big Donut closed. After the pair arrived at the Big Donut they examined the empty and dark building from the inside, Steven and Edward try to enter through the back door. Barbara Miller opens the door from the inside, owning a copy of all her daughter's keys. Barb, Steven, And Edward go inside the Big Donut. Barb informs them that Sadie did not come last night. Barb, assuming Sadie went to work instead of heading home, had tried to drop Sadie's lunch off at work. Steven is confused at Sadie's disappearance, as she told them that she was headed home. Sadie probably snuck off somewhere with her "boyfriend" Barb says. No that can't be right because she was at a party and was supposed to be heading home. Also Lars never showed up to the party, and that Onion is also missing. Not only that but I was expecting a package in the mail from Jamie Steven informed Barb. I do remember Jamie had this package when he left to go deliver to your house Steven. Steven just stands there for a second just thinking to himself ( im definitely just as intrigued as I am confused, but everyone disappearing like is starting to freak me out).
"Ok" Edward says out of nowhere Barb you should keep looking around here for Sadie while me and Steven go try and find anyone else at the boardwalk if its ok with you? Hmmm… ok but you two make sure to be careful Right! Is what they said in unison as Barb and them split up.
While checking the Funland Arcade with Edward, Steven thinks to himself that its up to us to find our friends. They find that no one is in the Arcade, or in the vending machine ( after Steven buys a bag of chaaaaps). While continuing the search the pair Stumble across a small blue gem, asking Them the question of "Are you my dad?". After Steven exclaims his surprise at seeing her, the gem repeats her question, asking if Steven is " My dad". Sorry im not your dad.
The gem flies away quickly, and Steven and Edward cant catch up with him shouting wait don't leave me with another enigma!. After getting Connie they rush back to Edwards house where they tell everyone what happened and later they all rush back to the temple, having Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl and Connie draw the gem based on Steven's description. Edward jumps in saying she has a gem in the shape of a tear drop under her left eye, and says that Connie's drawing is the closest.
With a new gem in Beach City, Pearl infers that she must here for the Crystal gems, and that they should prepare for a fight. Guys wait! When me and Edward saw that gem she said that she was looking for her dad also Sadie , Lars, Jamie, and Onion are missing Steven informed. After hearing this it left all the gems confused as gems don't have dads. Connie mentions that Steven and Edward have a dad, but Garnet interrupts saying that no other gem is like Steven and Edward they are unique. Connie then brings up the idea that the gem could be like them. Garnet then decides they should split up and find this gem. Steven is excited at the possibility of Garnet unfusing into Ruby and Sapphire but Garnet meant splitting up into teams to search Beach City. Steven is teamed up with Connie and Edward, pearl with Amethyst, and Garnet "with herself".
After splitting up Steven and Connie discuss the new gem. Edward asked what do you about this gem? Well I just that maybe she was adopted by a human father.
The three travel to Beach City Woods. As they get there Steven says I hope Sadie , Onion, Jamie and Lars are ok. Don't worry Steven if there are any problems well get through them together Connie informs him. Yeah Steven its like me and Omni always say "homies help homies always" Edward said along with Omni jumping in. Omni you cloak and look around let us know the moment you find something and Steven, Connie we will search around here Right they both said in unison. After a little while of searching with Steven searching a nearby log as Connie stays next to a nearby tree. Steven sees the gem on a branch behind Connie. She turns around to see what Steven and Edward are looking at only to see the gem which she is pleased that it closely resembles her drawing. Connie tries to help down the gem by saying don't worry ill catch you. The gem ask Connie "Are you my dad?". She responds by saying no im not but let me help you get down and maybe we can find "your [ the gem's ] dad". The gem proceeds to explain that she is not looking for "your dad" but looking for "my dad". Steven stuck in a log tells Connie (wait be careful Connie). Hearing Connie's name, the gem ask ( are you Connie? ). Connie says that she is. The gem laughs and flies away, shouting to "Topaz" that she has "found another one". While Steven is confused, loud stomping noises shake the forest. Edward and Connie grab their weapons and get prepared.
The footsteps draw closer, revealing themselves to belong to "Topaz". A large yellow fusion gem. Topaz has absorbed the missing humans (Sadie, Jamie, Lars, and Onion) into her body, as the four captured humans panic, struggle, and scream. Connie is afraid, exclaiming that the other gem has everyone. Wordlessly, Topaz unfuses into her component gems, now holding the captured humans in their arms. After walking over to Connie, they refuse around her, and trap and engulf her (and the other humans) within their fusion.
Steven is appalled, and breaks out of the log. As he and Edward were running over to Topaz, the blue gem lands on Topaz's head as she was making fun of the humans. As Steven summons his shield, the blue gem takes out her hair bow, revealed to double as a wand. The gem sends out a beam from her wand, freezing and paralyzing Steven and Edward in a bubble.
The blue gem, now childishly ecstatic, and spins her wand and lets go of the beam, sending The hybrids flying into a tree. The blue gem mentions to Topaz that all they need is "my dad" before they can leave.
Edward still conscious but dazed while Steven, still weak and injured enough to not easily move, overhears part of the gems' conversation as they walk away. The blue gem, revealing herself to be an "Aquamarine". Chuckles that the diamonds sent her out on an easy job like this. Even Topaz could have done this job herself, Aquamarine snickers.
As Topaz and Aquamarine walk away Steven gradually loses consciousness and in desperation protests 'No, you can't take them'. (End)
Disclaimer: A lot of what I used hear was taken From the Steven Universe wiki fandom so I apologize for anything that sounds weird in the story also I haven't posted a new chapter until now because I've been busy with work and school. Also the song I used is "Mom" by artist Meghan Trainor ft. Kelli Trainor so I just felt it had a nice place in here. Anyway soon I will be making a story for other Oc's im making for My hero academia and Overlord and many more anime and video games in the future just one step at a time.
