Steven Universe: Behind The Scenes Chapter 47-New Year's Celebration.

December 31, 2013

Steven, Clarence, Jeff, Sumo, Connie, Mordecai, and Rigby were all in Steven's room. Today was New Year's Eve. His parents were setting up for a New Year's party downstairs. Steven wanted to help out, but, his parents said they didn't need any more help since Garnet was there helping them set up.

Mordecai and Rigby brought some of their video games for Steven's PlayStation. They were now playing Grand Theft Auto IV, if pearl were here, she'd ban Mordecai and Rigby for bringing this game into the house, but, It wasn't her house. He couldn't control him, he wasn't seven anymore, he was thirteen!

Steven was driving around Liberty City as Clarence, Jeff, and Sumo watched. Connie walked back into his room, holding a glass of water in her hand, she sat on his bed.

Sumo tapped Steven on the shoulder, the boy looked at his friend.

"Can I play your guitar?" he asked, Steven looked at the guitar that was sitting next to his amplifier.

"Sure, but be careful with it," Steven said.

Greg and Rose were in the back setting up. They got the pool ready, even the hot tub ready for a night swim.

They were all excited for tonight, Rose unzipped the big screen TV that was in the lounge area for them to play video games, and then watch the ball drop in New York City.

Rose went inside and went upstairs to Steven's room, The door was open and she poked her head in.

"Hey guys." Rose greeted.

"Hey, Mrs. Quartz Universe!" Rigby said.

"Steven, I have an idea. Since we have that TV installed outside, why won't you guys bring your PlayStation outside?"

"Yeah!" Steven said, running to her and hugging his mom. Rose chuckles and smiles. Mordecai and Rigby went to his TV and turned it off and the system. Then, Rigby picked up the system and carried it downstairs. Mordecai carried the games and Steven carried the controllers.

They all went outside, Mordecai swiveled the TV so it would be coming out of the stone wall to connect it.

Rogby put the games on a cushion, Steven grabbed the remote and they played.

Steven grabbed the controller and continued playing the game that they'd brought from home. Greg put on some rock music that was burned onto a CD.

Then, his mother walked out carrying chips and sodas. She was going to order some Pizzas and sushi when the party started at seven. Rose wore a bright pink dress with white roses all over it. She was baking desserts for the party also.

Greg also walked out a moment later, wearing a black tank top and a pair of swim shorts. "Rose, do you need help?" he asked, adjusting his grey LAKERS SnapBack which was backward.

"No thanks, sweetheart. Why won't you turn on the heater for the pool and hot tub so they'll be ready." Greg nodded and smiled as he walked over to the back and did that.

Steven got a text on his phone, thatAmeythest and the rest of the Crystal Gems were coming. Steven was excited to have more of his friends come to the party.

That night, people came over, Steven even saw Lucas come over with his parents.

"Lucas!" Steven exclaimed hugging his friend.

"Steven! How does it feel to be a Cartoon Network star!" he said.

"Awesome! I've met lots of people." He said, then a blue jay and raccoon walked to them. "Oh, Lucas, these are my friends—"

"Mordecai and Rigby? I just love your work!" he said.

"Thanks!" Mordecai smiled and shook his hand.

"Dude! your friends with them?" Lucas asked. Steven smiled and nodded. The boy was surprised. Steven was friends with everyone at this point.

Steven walked back outside and looked around. His mother had gone inside, and Greg was sitting on a chair, on his phone. Sumo, Connie, Clarence, and Jeff were still playing on Steven's PlayStation.

Everyone was excited to bring in the new year. Steven was at the pool with his friends, Garnet, and Pearl were at the pool. Ameythest was at the snack table grabbing some snacks. Pearl was talking with Mary. And Chad was swimming.

Jeff's and Sumo's parents were there too, Sumo's older brothers were doing New Year's at their friend's house.

Everyone was having a good time, it was almost midnight Greg turned on the ball drop that was LIVE in New York. Steven and his friends were had a slice of pizza in her hand as she grabbed the remote and turned up the volume for the TV.

Greg walked to her and put an arm around her. Rose smiled then put an arm around her husband she grabbed his hand and they looked into each other's eyes.

"Are you excited for the new year?" Greg asked.

"Yes, I am. I'm more excited to be spending it with you, Steven, and all of our friends," she said. Greg smiled and wrapped his arms around her. Rose kissed her husband's hair.

Greg smiled. Then, the ball was dropping, and the countdown began.

"Ten…. Nine…. Eight…. Seven…. Six…. Five…. Four…. Three…. Two…. One…. HAPPY NEW YEAR!" all of them cheered as the lights on the screen flashed HAPPY NEW YEAR 2014.

Rose grabbed her husband's sides and pulled him into a passionate kiss. "Happy New Year, Greg." Rose looks into his eyes and smiles, Greg smiles at his wife. "Happy New Year, Rose," he said, pulling her into another passionate kiss.

"I love you," they said simultaneously.

Greg rested his head on her gem and smiled. Rose put a hand on him and smiled.

"Your parents are so cute, Steven!" Clarence said.

"They are."

The next morning, Greg woke up, Rose had the covers over her, Greg felt something on his chest, and she had her head on him, asleep. He didn't want to wake her, and he didn't want to get up. Greg felt Rose move, he saw her eyes open.

"How'd you sleep?"

"Good, how did you sleep?" Rose asked.

"I slept amazing… With you next to me, I sleep like a baby." Greg smiled, Rose chuckled and kissed him, and Rose smiled as well.

Steven, Mordecai, Rigby, Connie, Clarence, Jeff, and Sumo were in Steven's room. They were awake, playing video games on Steven's PlayStation, Steven was on his phone texting PeeDee.

"Hey guys, let's get grilled cheese for breakfast," Mordecai said.

"Heck yeah! I'm always down for a breakfast grilled cheese!" Steven said, sitting up. Mordecai paused the game and they went to the bathroom to freshen up.

Steven got dressed in a white t-shirt, and cargo shorts and he put on a pair of black sneakers. They open the door and they all walk out of the house together and they mount on their bikes to go eat some grilled cheese.

They walk into the restaurant. Steven stood in line with his friends as they were waiting. Connie was reading the menu. Steven was sharing the same menu.

Clarence, Jeff, and Sumo walk up to the cashier and they all place their orders. Steven took out his debit card and paid for his and Connie's grilled cheese.

They were now all sitting and eating their breakfast. Steven was on his phone, playing a game as he was finished. Everyone else was eating their food. "I have an idea, after this, Why won't we go to the park, we can play basketball," Rigby said.

"As in your park?" Clarence asked.

"Yeah, why not, we can play with Skips or Muscle Man," Mordecai said.

"Yeah, I can. Let's do it. But, do you want to do a three-on-three game?" Connie asked.

"Let's do a two-on-two," Rigby said. "Clarence, Jeff, and Sumo vs. Steven, Mordecai, and Connie, I can be referee," Rigby said.

"That sounds like a good idea, let's go."

Mordecai, Ssteven, Rigby, Clarence, Jeff, Sumo, and Connie were at The Park, Rigby grabbed a basketball from the house, Steven was on the court, and sitting on the bleachers were Clarence, Jeff, Sumo, and Connie.

Steven went up to the bleachers with his friends, who were now talking to each other. Rigby came back with a basketball. They all stood up.

Steven, Mordecai, Connie, and Clarence played first. Steven was Connie and Mordecai was with Clarence.

Jeff and Sumo were on the bleachers watching them play.

"Steven!" Connie said, passing the ball to him, the boy ran and did a layup. Mordecai grabbed the ball, went out of bounds, and passed it to Clarence. Clarence passed to Mordecai who was on the other side of the court. Rigby saw this.

"Backcourt Volition, Steven and Connie's ball!"

"Wait! What are we playing to?" Connie asked.

"Twelve!" Rigby called back to her. Connie nodded and passed the ball to Steven. Steven did another layup.

"Four to zero," Connie said. Clarence passed the ball to Mordecai, Mordecai stopped behind the three-point line and took the shot and he made it.

"Awww, yeeeahhhh!" Mordecai exclaimed.

"Wow, Mordecai is good!" Sumo said, watching the game.

"Steven, pass it to me!" Connie said. Steven passed it and she shot a yes, seven more and we win!Steven thought to himself. Clarence passed it to Mordecai and he made another three-point shot, But it bounced off the rim as Connie got the rebound, She passes it to Steven and he made a three with ease. So, they were up by seven.

"Woahhhh! Steven. I didn't know you could shoot threes!" Connie said.

"Maybe I get it from my mom!" he said, jokingly.

Mordecaiand Clarence were down by eight. Mordecai passed the ball to him and he forced it up for two. Clarence didn't make it, but Mordecai grabbed and dunked the rebound. Now they had five. But Steven and Connie had nine points. If they'd made two more three-pointers or three more two-pointers they would have won.

Steven made another two, so they had eleven. Mordecai passed to Clarence and he made a layup. Steven then passed to Connie and she made the three.

"Woah! Steven and Connie both win!" Sumo said

Steven and Connie both hug each other. Mordecai walked to Steven. "Good game, Universe!"

"Thanks. I kicked your butt!" Steven said, Mordecai laughed and ruffled up his hair. The boy giggled and then smiled at his friend.

Steven, Mordecai, Rigby, Clarence, Connie, Jeff, and Sumo were biking back to Beverly Hills, they had a good time together, and Steven was going to call them later today if they wanted to hang out again.

Steeven was riding his bike, it was almost five in the evening. He was going to a restaurant with them. His phone pinged and he took it out of his pocket, a text from Mordecai was all he read and he rode on.
