Another non-canon chapter to celebrate today's Holiday.
3rd Person P.O.V.
Love is in the air... is what one might say about today's festivities. Steven wakes up to find everyone already awake and Howard on the couch.
(Howard) I already told them about today. You're welcome.
Steven felt a little anxious about that. Howard can be very blunt about his choice of words. He feared that Howard probably gave them the wrong idea.
But everyone was chatting amongst themselves and some passed cards to each other and some passed gifts.
(Steven) Anything I missed?
(Howard) I'll fill you in.
20 minutes earlier
Howard's P.O.V.
I already woke up a while ago because I had one of those dreams where you feel like you're falling but can't wake up. Those always scare the shit out of me. Surprisingly, Steven or Mrs. Fitzgerald weren't awake yet.
But the gems were 'cause they don't sleep. I looked at my phone and it's February 14th, son of a bitch. Valentine's Day is kinda a waste of time, in my opinion.
Why? Cause it's a day where people talk about love and all of that, I don't. It's annoying as hell.
Although, the only upside of the Holiday is those chocolates they got at the store. My Dad got me a little box of them every year with a little card on it. I love most of the flavors of chocolate, but I kinda hate a few.
First flavor I hate is Mint Chocolate. Why the fuck would you put mint in a candy bar like chocolate? It's like they're encouraging you to eat toothpaste.
Next flavor or flavors I don't like is White and Dark Chocolate. I hate them for the taste and names. They taste awful for me, like, nasty shit.
The names make it sound like chocolate is a race sign and if there's no Dark Chocolate, people would get pissed about racist shit over a candy bar, and vice versa for White Chocolate. Chocolate is chocolate, not people. Anyway, I'm chill with the other types of chocolate.
I saw the gems were confused about today's Holiday when the looked at the calendar.
(Spinel) Howard, what is Valentine's Day?
(Howard) (under breath) Dammit.
I stood up.
(Howard) So, Valentine's Day is a day where people express their love to someone they like or somethin' like that. They give 'em cards, chocolates, gifts, all that stuff.
(Spinel) Oh, so, like, I give something to someone I like to express my love to them?
(Howard) Uh, I guess.
(Pearl) This Holiday sounds very intriguing. Not like that Chirstmas Holiday, though.
(Garnet) I am the embodiment of Ruby and Sapphire's love.
(Howard) I can see that.
I looked at Spinel.
(Howard) Oh, hell, you already look like you're ready for Valentine's Day. Your gem needs to turn like 180 degrees.
(Spinel) I kinda like it this way.
(Howard) 'Kay. Whatever floats your boat
I look around to see the others still confused.
(Howard) What?
(Pearl) How do you use cards? Or make them?
(Howard) I... I'll be right back.
