"Steven, let's go to Funland!!" you cheered.
"Okay, on the way we can stop by the fry shop!!"

"Your dad won't even let you alphabetize the condiments? Must be rough..."  Steven said to Peedee. You were looking around the boardwalk, nothing new, as usual. That was until you spotted Mr. Smiley putting up a new game.
"Steven, what's that?" you asked, walking towards the unfamiliar machine. Steven followed close behind.
"Good morning, Mr. Smiley!!" you cheered, looking up at the tall man.
"Mornin' (y/n)," Mr. Smiley replied.
"Haven't seen you around in a while."
"I've been busy.." you replied, looking away.
"Now, whats so important in a 14-year-old's life that they can't come to Funland and visit lil' old me?"
"You'd be surprised," you sadly chuckled. Steven placed a hand on your shoulder. An awkward silence filling the air.
"Anyways!!" Steven yelled, breaking the tension.
"Is that a new game?" Steven asked. Mr. Smiley let out a loud laugh.
"Old Zoltron here has been in storage for years!!"
"Got a quarter? Lets see if he still works." Mr. Smiley said, plugging in the machine

Long story short: Steven broke the machine.
"What now?!" Steven panicked, pacing around the room.
"Hmm..." you hummed, sticking your tongue out.
"Steven, can you do a good robot voice?" you asked. Steven nodded in reply.
"Hold on, I think I have something at home." you told Steven, slipping on your coat.
You made your way to the door. Quietly.
"For once I might actually make it witho-"
"Where do you think you're going?"
'Crap.'
You turned around to face the source of the voice.
"N-Nowhere..." you nervously replied, beads of sweat beginning to form on your face.
"Really? You sure?" Garnet asked again, stepping closer.
You were now up against the screen door.
"Y-Yes...?" you replied, in a questioning tone of voice.
"You aren't a very good liar," Garnet whispered in your ear, sending shivers down your spine. "Now, where are you going, Darling?"

"Steven, I'm back!!" you cheered, running up the steps, almost tripping in the process.
"What's with the box of stuff?" Steven asked you, cocking an eyebrow in confusion.
"I'm gonna make you into a robot!!" you excitedly replied, taking out the clothing and make up.
"You're kidding, right?" Steven asked you.
"She's not kidding!!" Garnet yelled from the kitchen. Steven looked at you nervously.

All day Steven had been telling people their 'future'.
All was going well until a strange man came from nowhere. He looked so sad.
He put a quarter into the machine,
"Was it a mistake coming here?" the stranger asked. Steven looked nervous.
"Funland is a place people of all ages can enjoy!!" Steven cheered, his robot voice breaking at times.
Again, the man put in a quarter,
"Will he want to see me?" the man asked. Steven coughed in nervousness.
"I-I'm not sure who 'he' is." Steven replied.
The man sighed and placed another quarter into the machine.
"Is it true that all I do is drive everyone around me away?"
Steven looked at you for guidance. All you did was shrug.
"Your lucky numbers are: 6, 78, 56, and W!!" 
The man again sighed, taking his final quarter from his pocket.
He attempted to place the coin into the machine. However, it rolled out of his grasp and into a crack on the boardwalk.
"Even a coin leaves me..."
The man walked away to where the quarter fell and sat there, his face in his hands.
"Poor guy, I wish I could help him..." Steven told you.
"Yeah, if only you had future vision like Garnet." you replied, looking at the poor guy.
"I thought one of you might say that," the voice of Garnet said, walking over to the both if you.
"Garnet!! Can I borrow your future vision powers so I can help that guy?!"
"Seems like an appropriate use of my powers." Garnet told Steven before kissing his forehead.
"Try to be back by dinner!!" Garnet yelled, quickly kissing you as well before she left.

"Harold?"
"Quinton.."
The two men, Mr. Smiley and Mr. Frowny began talking.
"We're 14 and repairing friendships from a looooong time ago," you smiled, looking over at Steven who watched the two do their comedy act.
"I'm proud of us." Steven replies.
There was a calm silence as Quinton boarded the bus.
"I guess my debt is re-payed," Steven told Mr. Smiley. Mr. Smiley laughed.
"Steven, that machine costs thousands of dollars,"

"Hey, (y/n)?" Steven asked you as the both of you got into bed.
"Yes?" you replied, looking over at him.
"What did you see when Garnet kissed you?"
"Hehehe...."
