Steven Universe: Time Split

Chapter 63: Alone at Sea

"Alright, have you got all the stuff needed to continue construction?" Y/n asked a building, who was wearing bright orange clothing topped off with a bright yellow helmet.

"Yeah, we should be good to go." The builder, who was named Ron said. "I don't know how you managed to keep all the floors from collapsing, but whatever you did, it'll make this job much easier."

"I had some help from a few friends." Y/n chuckled. "Speaking of which, a small green girl might be coming here to help work on the bunker, her name's Peridot."

"Huh, I think we've seen her already ..." He said. "Angry one, isn't she?"

"Yep." Y/n chuckled. "You sure you guys can handle all this work? I don't mind jumping in if you need me to."

"Nah, we'll be fine." Ron reassured as he waved off the offer. "Like I said, the stuff you've already done will make this job ten times easier."

"Y/N!!!" A little boy shouted as he was seen in the distance running towards them.

"Well, if you need me I'll most likely be in the lighthouse." Y/n told as he went to leave, but added. "If I'm not available, Peridot should be."

"Take care." Ron said as he waved, returning to his team that surrounded the bunker.

Y/n walked in Steven's direction, and to his surprise, was even closer than before. "Steven! I didn't think you were so fast!" Y/n laughed a bit as Steven took Y/n's legs in a hug. "What's up?"

Steven took a few deep breaths. "Me and dad are planning a surprise for Lapis!" He cheered with a toothy grin. "We want you to come with us!"

"Oh? What did you have planned?" Y/n asked as Steven separated from the hug.

"We're gonna take Lapis on a boat ride!" Steven cheered as he started pulling Y/n down the hill, and into Beach City.

"Er ... Are you sure that's a good idea?" Y/n questioned, unsure of it. "Since Lapis has been through a lot ... I'm not sure she really wants to be around the ocean too much."

"B-but water is what Lapis controls! She can't hate it because of one bad experience!" Steven whined.

"Alright, alright ..." Y/n relented. "We can try, but I'm not sure how she'll handle it."

"Come on, we can see dad at the car wash!" Steven smiled as he pulled the tall human in its direction.

Steven continued to pulled Y/n all the way to the car wash, where Greg was just finished with cleaning the Pizza delivery car. "Thanks Mr Universe!" Jenny smiled as the car looked absolutely fresh.

"It's not problem!" Greg smiled as Y/n and Steven approached from the side.

"Hey Steven. Hey Y/n." Jenny greeted as she climbed in. "Are you going to Sour Cream's rave later?"

Steven gasped. "Yeah! We should totally go!" He cheered.

"Eh, why not." Y/n shrugged. "We can bring Lapis, and Peridot."

"Awesome, but I've gotta go, dad's probably wondering where I am." Jenny told, starting to drive off. "Seeya laters!"

Steven, Y/n, and Greg waved, before Greg turned to the two humans. "First customer is a while ..." He gave a dry chuckle. "But what bring you two here?"

"I was just telling Y/n about the surprise for Lapis!" Steven cheered, bouncing up and down in excitement.

"Oh! Really? You joining us Y/n?" Greg asked.

"Yep, should be fun." Y/n nodded. "Have you got a name for the boat?"

"Uhhh ..." Steven trailed off. "It has a name, but it's not the best name ..."
