"Hey, Pearl?" Steven was leaning against the fence by the barn as Pearl practiced throwing spears at an old target. A soft breeze blew, breaking the gem's concentration.
"Yes, Steven?"
"Why do you hate Amethyst?"
"Wha-?" The Pearl spun around just as she started to throw the spear, which flew through the air and graced the top of Peridot's hair, who was working on rebuilding her robot suit.
"Watch it!" Peri shreiked.
"Steven, I don't hate Amethyst! What made you think that?" She stared intently at Steven, kneeling down in front of him.
"I dunno...you guys are always yelling at eachother. It's really sad...,"
He sounds so much like Rose, Pearl thought, sighing. "Amethyst and I get on eachothers nerves sometimes. But I do care about her," Steven got a mischevious grin on his face. "Don't tell her that, Steven." Pearl pictured Amethyst mocking her again. She'd say that same thing, Pearl thought. "Hah! You care about me!"
"Pearl?"
"Wha, hm?"
"I said I promise I won't tell her!"
"Oh," Pearl sighed and smiled. "Thank you, Steven."
"Succsess!" Peridot yelled, already manning the huge suit. "This will definately be useful again."
"Woah, cool!" Steven exclaimed, playing on the feet of the robot.
Pearl sighed, going back to practicing when Garnet and Amethyst walked over.
"Be careful, Steven. Stay over the feet." Garnet instructed calmly. Pearl couldn't imagine the outcome Garnet saw of Steven going under the foot.
"Oh, hohoho!" Amethyst cackled and joined Peridot and Steven. "Peri, you gotta let me take this baby out!"
"In your drimeys!" Peridot laughed evily.
"It's dreams, Peridot." Pearl corrected, and Steven and Amethyst burst out laughing.
"Oh man, hahahahah! Peri, you're a rio-" CRASH.
"...W-what was that...?" Steven asked nervously.
"Steven, get in the barn..," Pearl said. "Now."
The Rose Quartz boy ran inside, panicked, as Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl summoned their weapons.
"This? This is what all of the trouble's about?" An unfamiliar voice boomed out of a giant ship.
The pounding of feet on the ramp echoed, followed by 3 homeworld Amethysts, their whips already out.
