Steven Universe x Male Half gem reader

Chapter 17 Mirrior Gem

We open up to Steven lying on the couch in the living room of the Beach House, talking on his phone with Connie

Steven: "What...? Why not?"

Connie: on the phone "Steven, I told you, I can't hang out today. I have tennis practice. And then Mom wants to go out for a family dinner. But she said I could hang out all day tomorrow, and I can come over all the time now that it's summer vacation."

Steven: flops off the couch "What's summer vacation?"

Connie: "You know, when school gets out for the summer?"

Steven: "I've never been to this... How do you say— "school". How does it work?"

Connie: "It's a place where you go to learn. It's full of desks, chalkboards..."

Steven: "Hmm."

Connie: "Books, maps."

Steven: "I see."

Shortly after, Steven begins to assemble a pile of school equipment in the kitchen, with the help of Pearl.

Steven: examines the pile "Yep, it's all coming together."

Pearl: adds a desk to the pile "So, how do we begin our "school"?"

Steven: "Ugh... I... I don't know! This is everything Connie told me. Why do I never ask follow-up questions?! Who will teach little Stevie now!?"

Pearl: gasps "Teach you?! Steven! If only I had known that's what you really wanted!" gets up "Twooooh!" begins doing the same dance as in Lars and the Cool Kids "Haaaaaah!"

Pearl's gem begins to glow, as she summons a mirror from her gem. She begins to explain as the mirror twirls in mid-air.

Pearl: "We found this Gem-powered mirror at the Galaxy Warp. It can capture and display any event it's witnessed in all of Gem history.l The mirror lands in Steven's hands "It'll offer you everything you've ever wanted to know about your fellow Gems and our culture."

Steven: looks at his reflection in the mirror "I must be incredibly important to Gem culture."

Pearl: scoffs "It's just you in there. It hasn't even been activated." clears her throat "Show us the Galaxy Warp" The mirror does nothing. "Show - us - the Galaxy Warp" frustrated "Oh, come on!" grabs the mirror

Steven: still holding onto the mirror and gets lifted along "Whoa!" laughs

Pearl: "I know you've seen it" examines the mirror and sighs "It is in pretty rough shape. It must finally be broken. What a shame."

Steven: admires himself in the mirror "Doesn't seem broken to me!"

Pearl: "Oh well. I guess that's the end of our school."

Steven: gets excited "Whoa. Wha... So you could say... School's out for summer?"

Pearl: "Yes. Good, Steven. There are many ways to say the same thing."

Steven: gasps "School's out!" runs out of the house

Pearl: looking at the pile "Hmm. The asymmetry of this pile is really starting to bother me."

We then see Steven running out of the beach house

Steven: running down the beach "School's out! Happy summer vacation, Steven!" starts running backwards "Happy summer vacation, Beach City!" chuckles "Yeah!"

Not looking where he is going, Steven bumps into Lars and Sadie, who are setting up tables outside the Big Donut.

Lars & Sadie: "Hey!"
