To Forget || Steven Universe

Chapter VI: Tiger Millionaire

"How could you possibly think punching a blood polyp was a good idea!?"

Pink let out an audible sigh as they warped home, listening to Pearl harp on Amethyst. 'Here we go again.'

"Look at all the gunk you got on me!" Pearl flicked a piece of blood polyp off her arm in disgust, "and look at Steven!"

Steven walked up to them, covered almost entirely in goop. "It's not so bad once you get used to it."

"See? He likes it." Amethyst rebutted.

"He certainly won't like it when it hardens!"

"Uh.. what?" Steven's smile disappeared quickly. "I-I'm gonna go wash!"

Steven began walking towards the bathroom, but the blood polyp hardened mid-step.

"Uh... guys?"

Pink noticed and went over to help him while Amethyst and Pearl kept arguing.

"You're always putting us in danger with your little outbursts!" Pearl exclaimed. "You are just... so... childish!"

Amethyst rolled her eyes. "Yeah, yeah. Don't forget "reckless," "vulgar," "loud mouth,"" she listed, "and that's just what makes me so AWESOME! RIGHT GARNET!?"

Garnet rubbed her temples, annoyed. "Amethyst, you are a Crystal Gem. You need to act like it."

That line made Pink very uncomfortable. She cleared her throat, trying to focus on breaking Steven out of the blood polyp.

She heard Amethyst say "fine" before entering the temple.

"I think we really got through to her!" Pearl beamed.

Garnet sighed and headed out the door, Pearl right behind her. "Right, Garnet?"

Pink managed to chip the polyp enough that it crumbled apart, making Steven let out a breath of relief. "Whew. Thanks Pink."

Pink gave him a thumbs up and headed out the door.

She needed a nap.

–

Pink was startled awake when someone pounded on her door.

She let out a yell and accidentally flipped off of her hammock and onto the floor.

Face first.

She pushed herself up, rubbing her head in with a groan.

She opened the door, rubbing her eyes. She looked down, seeing Amethyst at her doorstep with a cloak on.

"Uh.. did you need something Amethyst?" She asked.

"Did you forget? Tonight's the wrestling match!"

It was almost like you could physically see a loading... sign on Pink's forehead, before her eyes lit up. "Oh, right!"

Amethyst rubbed her neck. "Listen, if you're too tired to go–"

"No, it's fine!" Pink quickly assured her.

"Just let me... get ready." She yawned.

–

After getting dressed, she exited through the door.

She slipped on her cloak, before realizing that Amethyst didn't have hers. "Uh, Amethyst? Where's your cloak?"

Amethyst then face palmed. "Damn it. I left it in my room."

"Bravo."

"Oh screw off," Amethyst retorted. "I have to go back and grab it. I'll meet you there."
