Steven

The Odd Connie

When I finished walking around the hill, I walked up the stairs to the Temple. I pushed open the screen door.

"Hey guys, I'm home!" I bellowed. My voice echoed throughout the house but their was no response. Hmm.. I guess they left for a mission without me. I walked farther into the house and sat Amethyst's donut on the counter. After I did that, I proceeded to walk towards the couch to sit down and started to eat my donut. I put my hand in the bag to pull out a warm gooey mess of a donut. It was gross looking but , hey! It's still food . Just as I was about to put the donut in my mouth the warp pad made its 'warping sound' and the Crystal gems appeared on the warp pad. I sat my donut down on the coffee table, hopped off of the couch, and ran over to the Crystal gems. I was still sort of mad at them for leaving me but I didn't care. Their goal is to keep me safe. So how could I stay mad at them for keeping me safe?

"Hey guys, where have you been?"

To which Garnet replied

"A destructive corrupted gem was in strawberry fields destroying the landscape."

I replied with just an

"Oh."

Amethyst said

"It was so cool Steven! Sorry it was urgent and we had to leave you behind. Oh yeah, and did you get me my donut?"

"Yeah Amethyst it's on the counter." I replied.

"Thanks Steven!" She then ran over to the counter ripping open the bag and gobbling down the donut.

"BRRRRPP"

Pearl angrily replied

"Amethyst! Manners!"

Amethyst said

"Sorry, P."

"Speaking of sorry, ...Steven you were gone... and you would have taken to long to-"

I interrupted Pearl and said

"Its ok. I understand." Pearl gave me a smirk, as if to say she was accepting my acceptance of her apology.

"I'm glad you guys are back. I was getting worried!" I said.

"Dude, we were only gone for 10 minutes!" Amethyst then whispered to me.

"The corrupted gem wasn't even that destructive!"

"Hey! I heard that Amethyst!" Garnet said.

"How? I whispered!?"

"I just know." After that sentence, Garnet pulled down her glasses just so you could see her third eye and winked at Amethyst.  All of a sudden we heard a knock on the screen door and we all turned our heads to see who it was. Oh , it was Connie!

She said

"I'm here for practice Pearl!" Pearl replied

"Come on in Connie! Your right on time!"

Connie said

"Good! Because I thought I was late!"

"Nope your right on time!" Pearl said.

"Perfect!"

I said

"Hey Connie!" She hadn't even tried to look at me since she walked through the screen door so I thought I might say 'hi'. But I guess she didn't hear me or something. I don't know.

She said awkwardly

"...Hey... Steven.." and gave me a fake smile, like I did something to her, which I DIDN'T! Anyways, Pearl and Connie were stepping onto the warp pad when Pearl said

"Steven, would you like to join us?" Connie didn't even let me answer and looked up at Pearl and said

"Actually Pearl, is it ok if it's just you and me today?" Pearl looked down back at Connie in surprise and said 

"Uhh.. sure Connie.... sorry Steven!" Pearl gave me a fake smile and then warped to the battle arena with Connie. I wanted to go along but I guess Connie didn't want me to. What did I do wrong? I shrugged my shoulders and walked back over to the couch to finish my donut, but it was too late. Amethyst had already eaten it.
