"This could actually... work!" Pearl beamed, Y/n was about to say something but didn't want to ruin the mood.
"I hear what you're saying, and I agree— it would be really dangerous; a fool's errand." Pearl added.
"—And you're gonna be a fool? Well, I'll join in this foolishness. I just really don't want anyone to be surprised if this goes wrong." Y/n pragmatically blurted.
"I could show Steven the wonders of the cosmos, I could see what was going on without me! Let's do it." Pearl said with Steven gazing excitedly at her.
"F/I-UUU Space Travel, Goooo!"
Y/n found some covers and decided to nap on a haybale. When they woke up they saw Greg and Pearl arguing.
"You are not taking him to space."
"Yes, I am."
"No, I'm not allowing it."
"But why? This is why we founded Y/n, Universe, and Universe." Steven interjected.
"Steven, you're grounded."
"What?" He questioned.
"No, no. I mean you're grounded." Greg clarified.
"He isn't going to let you leave earth." Y/n walked out of the barn rubbing their eyes.
"Oh. What?!" Steven despondently said.
"As C.E.O. And supreme space commander I hereby ground this astronaut and cancel this mission." Greg crossed his arms.
"Aw man. Stupid company by-laws."
"Oh well, let's go to space, Pearl!" Y/n interjected.
"Who made you CEO?" Pearl asked, a bit annoyed.
"Steven." Y/n rubbed his hair.
"Fine. If neither of you will help, I'll just do it myself— not like it'll be much different."
Pearl walked behind Steven and Greg and looked at Y/n. They followed her inside and she closed the barn door.
—----------------
It was now night, Steven and Greg were asleep near the van.
Y/n poked Steven awake.
"Wh-" Steven was cut off by Y/n putting their index finger to his lips.
"We've got something cool to show you." Y/n told. Steven got up and followed them. Y/n quietly knocked on the barn door and Pearl slid it to the side.
"Ballistic flight capable universe Mach 3!" The gem quietly exclaimed as she unveiled a real futuristic ship.
Y/n's jetpack-rebreather-spacesuit amalgamation was to the side. Steven was incredibly excited.
"Look, we even added the logo." Y/n pointed at the Y/n-Universe-Universe logo on the side of the ship.
"Let's take them out for a diagnostic check, yeah?" The human said as they equipped their machine. Pearl focused and a space-suit appeared on her. "It'll be quick." She said.
"Pearl, Steven, Y/n! What are you doing?!" Greg got up and yelled as the Y/n and the ship were taking off. The wheels retracted on the spaceship; Y/n was now in the skies.

(A/n: Switching to a first person narration for, well, reasons)
Why does Steven seem so scared? Pearl looked happy and their ship looked like it was going into overdrive and then straight up. I pressed a button and my jetpack started to go even faster! At this point I heard the rebreather spur up.
I saw something not-so-good and flew to the side of their ship; Okay, there was red blinking, definitely not-so-good. I saw a look in Pearl's eyes and knew it was bad news... and also the fact that I was going to run out of fuel in a couple minutes.
I couldn't hear her— no, I knew what she was saying... what it meant at least. We were now in space and her eyes got all watery.
Holy— He just popped the hatch off! I'm bailing, my suit isn't going to last much longer.
___
(A/n: how is he even talking to her in space??)
"Y/n!" Greg shook them until they opened their eyes. "Oh god, we would never be able to explain this to your parents!"
"Did we do it?" The human asked.
"Nope." Steven nonchalantly said. "It's late, you should spend the night."
"Sure." Y/n opened their phone and called their mom. Everyone else got a chuckle out of Y/n's slight exasperation with their parents.
