Black Rain, Stevidot

Chapter 30

(Stevens pov🤘~)

    The door clangs shut after I walk through it. Amethyst is sleeping on the couch, Emerald is waiting for her to wake up, and Lapis is eating all my cookie cats. "Aww, Lapis!" I groan. Tonight was horrible. "Shorry Sheven." She looked at me like a puppy that chewed up its owners new sofa. "It's okay..." I sigh.

Lapis ate the last of the cookie cat she was holding and pranced over to Emerald. "So how long are you going to wait?" Lapis asks. "Duh, until she wakes up!" Emerald sneered. Lapis just stared at her for a few moments before getting up and going to the kitchen table. She sat down at it and chewed at a strand of her hair. I crawled up into my room and spread myself out on my bed. I forgot that tonight I went to sleep in my jeans.

(Peridot's pov🌵~)

Garnet and I go inside the temple. As soon as we do, Garnet goes back out. "I have to go find Pearl. Stay here." Garnet tells me. I look longingly up at Steven, who is in his bed staring at the ceiling blankly. I sigh and climb up there. "I'm sorry. I'm not exactly sure what I did... But I'm sorry..." I tell him, sitting on one side of the bed. "You didn't do anything. I just don't understand what was up with Connie?" He mumbles. My mind flashes to when she was showing a lot of jealousy. "Maybe she's jealous? It seems to be a very... Heavy emotion." I suggest. Steven closes his eyes for a few moments, then opens them again. "I'm sorry that I pushed you away. I'll take you to the music festival that's coming up as an apology. I'll take Connie, too!" Steven says excitedly, "That will make her happy!"

"We'll get you a nice outfit, and I'll dress up nicely, and we'll all dance and have fun!" Steven smiles at his idea. "I think I've been to enough places." I shudder, thinking about tonight's disaster and the first time we fused. The ride at the 'amusement park' we went to wasn't that good. The popcorn was, though. And we found Muffin! Where is he, anyway? That little sneaky animal. I look around and find him with Lapis eating peanut butter. Well, he's eating some fish Lapis gave him, Lapis is eating all the peanut butter. My attention snaps back to Steven. "I think I can make myself an outfit." I say.

"Okay." He replies. "When is it anyways?" I ask. "In a few days. I'll ask the gems to come too." He rolls over drowsily. I better leave him alone. I climb down from his room and sit next to Muffin.
