Steven X Spinel: Gems In The Rough

Chapter 1: Bringing Her Back Home

Steven sat down at his desk where his computer was sitting and turned it on and he opened up a text document that had the title Daily logs but by the date on it he hasn't done one since Spinel left with the diamonds months ago. He sighed and looked at the screen as he began to type his new entry.

5/21/56
"Well it finally has been done. We stopped Spinel from well ending the world and basically ruining our lives. Although now I do see that no matter where I go or what I do I will always have more work to do. It's kinda more relieving then I play on it to be. To be honest from what I have been through and what I have just had to endure I think anything else will seem like a breeze. But there is something else here residing inside of me, something that I haven;t even as a person yet to get to understand. I mean I kinda did understand it with Connie but what now I mean I have asked her to marry me since me and her have been together for quite some time now. Although a part deep down inside of me feels like something is missing feels like something is just gone. I really don't know how to explain it or when I feel this way but I guess someday I will figure it out... Someday."

As Steven begins to think of the memories of the struggles he had to endure he tried so much to figure out what he had done back then and what were his next moves for the future of his life he knew soon he would be heading off for college but now he wasn't so sure of himself. He tried and tired and tried to fight the feeling of something that felt that had been missing but he just had it there and it kept staying and staying with no true purpose or meaning well that he knew of for now. He sat there just wondering and thinking about things and stuff and his life, his mother and so much more that was just bogging him down. As he glanced over to the window where the sun was beaming through with the warm wind of spring and the smell of the salty sea that he lived by at the beach house. He gazed out there wondering what was on his mind and what was changing about him. He did indeed change from what happened back then but there was something new coming over him, something that just wasn't there, something that manifested itself out of thin air. But when he was just getting lost in his thoughts sitting on his bed gazing out into the sky and beach he heard a creak on the steps up to his room.

"Who's comin on up to Steveit-o's pad?"

Just as he was turning around to see who it was a familiar voice came from the stairway

"Hello Steven"

He was happy to see Garnet but also was worried because the gems have been away for almost a week and that he missed them a lot but worried because he knows Garnet can see anything that he is feeling.

"Garnet what's up?"

He tried to just play it cool but as he feared Garnet saw right through his ruse/

"Steven, is something bothering you?"

He sighs and places his face into his hands holding it on his knees

"I don't know Garnet . It's just hard to explain cause I don't even know what I am feeling or doing anymore. Ever since Spinel the world the days, weeks, months they have seemed to have just phased together and moved together as one and I can't tell how long it has been since I last visited her. I promised her I would visit often and I don't even know why I haven't.."

As he rambled on and on Garnet stopped him and looked him in the eyes.

"Steven I know this is tough for you and I know this is hard for you. These feelings that you haven't felt before are things and new experiences that make you different and change not only your personality but your heart."

He sat up and looked at her with a bit of confusion, unable to actually fully understand what she was trying to tell him.

"Garnet, what are you saying exactly?"
