Picnic Planning

Stevens pov

      "Pleeeeeaaaaase?" I beg Pearl, my eyes stretching wide with hope. "Fine, you can have a picnic. But we have to plan!" I could've swore I saw a smile on her face.

     "So who will be invited?" She asks. "Well obviously you and the other crystal gems, Connie, Dad, Lion, Connies parents, and the rest of beach city!" I say excitedly.

         "Steven, we aren't going to invite all of beach city." Pearl says firmly. "Fine, that will be all then. Wait! Onion and his family! Amethyst will be excited to see Malery." I tell her. She pulls a notepad and pen from her gem (0-0) and writes that down.

      "When will it be?" Pearl asks, "how about tomorrow." She says. "Yeah! 10:00!" I suggest. Pearl nods and writes that down.  "Anyone else you want to invite?" Pearl asks.

     We hand all the invitations to the picnic to Jamie. "Also, your invited! We just ran out of paper..." I whisper to him. "Please have these delivered before 10:00 tomorrow!" Pearl tells him, then walks away casually.

"I can't believe this!" I whisper to myself excitedly. I see a flash of green over by the barn. Peridot is over there carrying a piece of metal over to the drill. She sits it down next to the drill and goes to get more.

        "Peridot! Peridooooot!" I yell to her while running to the barn. She looks at me in a curious way. "Um... Yeah?" She asks. "We're having a picnic tomorrow." I tell her, holding in my excitement.

      "Picnic, as in a meeting of friends and/or family to 'eat'?" She asks. "Yeah, I guess." I answer. "Your invited!" I add, finally letting out my excitement, which had been bubbling up inside of me.

        Peridot smiled, I mean actually smiled, not a smug one or a mean, or an evil one. Like, an actual smile. I couldn't help but stare for a few seconds, even after it was gone, which it was in one second.

        At least she's learning to be happy.
