Steven Universe- Lapis Lazuli X Male Reader

Cry for Help

(You, Steven and Amethyst are watching an episode of Crying Breakfast Friends! in his bedroom. In the cartoon, Crying Pear accidentally dropped his ice cream on the floor, and he and Sad Spoon start crying. Bawling Bacon then arrives, looks at the mishaps for a while and starts crying as well.)

Amethyst: I don't get this cartoon, man, why don't they just eat that ice cream off the floor? They don't have to cry about it.

Y/N: I still think this is pretty dumb

(Crying Pear continues to cry, when the TV's signal suddenly starts glitching up.)

Steven: Aw, not again. It was doing this yesterday too.

Amethyst: Hang on, I got it. *gets up and starts kicking the TV set on its side a few times* How about now? Gah!

(The TV set starts shaking and rumbling, to Amethyst's surprise.)

Steven: *surprised* It's never done that before.

(A flickering video of Peridot speaking gibberish then appears, before stabilizing and her dialogue becoming audible.)

Peridot: This is Peridot transmitting on all frequencies from abandoned crystal system colony planet Earth, to Yellow Diamond. My mission has been compromised, my escort and informant *raises two fingers to indicate number* are gone and I am now stranded! *yells desperately* Please send help!

Y/N: Uh, Guys, You might wanna check this out

(The transmission continues to repeat itself on the TV, as You and the Crystal Gems gather around and watch it together TV. Steven is then seen calling someone on his phone.)

Steven: Okay, thanks. *hangs up* Connie says it's on her TV too.

Pearl: But where could Peridot be broadcasting a signal that strong?

Garnet: There's only one place.

[Trans. Ext. Communication Hub]

(Lion emerges out of a portal with You, Garnet, Pearl and Amethyst riding on his back. He then collapses off his feet from the weight of You and the Gems, and Steven pops out of his mane, gasping for air.)

Steven: Lion, are you okay? *pets him on the head*

Garnet: It's as I feared.

(You and The Crystal Gems look at the Communication Hub, crudely reconstructed back together, glowing and shooting a beam of light towards the sky.)

Pearl It looks like Peridot somehow repaired the Communication Hub. Well, at least some of it.

Steven So... we just gotta wreck it up again, right? *turns to Amethyst* You guys should form Sugilite!

Y/N: Sugilite?

Pearl: *whispers to you* Garnet and Amethyst's Fusion

Y/N: Oh

Amethyst: Yeah... Well, it's up to Garnet, I guess. *smiles a bit and turns to Garnet* What do you say? Shall we mash it up?... (Pearl looks scared in the background.)

Garnet: No.

Amethyst: *shocked* But, don't we need to be huge like last time?

Garnet: Last time was a disaster. Last time we fused, Sugilite went berserk. It's because of her that we can't even warp here anymore.

(Garnet points towards the broken warp pad, smashed by a huge rock.)

Garnet: *takes off her visor* I can be brash, you can be reckless. And we can both get carried away. *puts her visor back on, reflecting Amethyst off of it* So, for the time being, Sugilite is benched. What we need now is to be careful. *turns to Pearl, and Steven gasps* It's you and me, Pearl. Let's fuse. (Pearl looks astonished as she begins to tear up.) Don't cry, Pearl. (Pearl tries to not cry and quivers as she strongly breathes in through her nose, sniffling thickly.) Come on, let's do this.
