I ended up going to The Big Donut with Steven. Bad decision.

As he dragged me through the door a wave of sweetness hit me. The scent of every donut was in the shop's stuffy air.

"Hey Sadie!" He called out. That's who he was blabbing about on the way here? I expected her to be. . .taller.

"Hi Steven! Oh, who's your friend?" her voice was scratchy.

"This is (y/n)! The gems adopted them!" Here we go. Another hour of non-stop talking.

"(Y/n) huh? I never knew the gems would adopt someone." Rude.

"Didn't think I'd be adopted either so I guess it's a fair situation." It's true. I didn't think I'd ever be adopted so the "Crystal Gems" adopting me was a surprise.

"Anyways. . . We came for some donuts. Whatcha' got today Sadie?" Steven was leaning over the counter now and looking at the racks of baked treats.

"Oh! Right. We have some new strawberry jelly ones." She pointed over her shoulder at some stuffed donuts. Steven leaned forwards over the counter and hummed in thought. "So which ones? Something new or the usual?" She had a bag ready to put the donuts in.

"Hmmm. (Y/n) which ones do you want?" What? Oh he's talking to me. Oh geez when's the last time I had donuts? We never ate any at the orphanage since Mr. Ribordy usually make breakfast.

"What d'you have?" She looked like she was about to list the whole menu," I mean donut wise."

"Well we have Strawberry sprinkle, vanilla sprinkle, chocolate sprinkle, cinnamon twist, glaze, chocolate glaze, sea salt and caramel, and umm...I'm not exactly sure what todays special is. Let me check with Lars.

"Oh yeah! Where is Lars?" Who's that?

"Oh. . .um. He's my co worker. Honestly he doesn't work much but you know, he's a great person if you get to meet him." Yeah, that's why he's here right now right?

"Makes sense." Enough said.

She proceeded to go into what seemed to be a break room. While she was doing whatever back there Steven and I started some friendly conversation. I know it seems like I'm throwing him the cold shoulder most of the time but he's a sweet little ball of happiness and energy. Too, much energy for me though if I'm being honest.

"So Lars said he doesn't know what the special is either so sorry 'bout that. But um-I found a batch of these things." She held up a tray of freshly steaming, what looked to be, lemon raspberry donuts. Well that's new. "I suppose I'll just make them the special. I mean no harm done right?"

"Man Sadie those look delicious! Can we get four of those please?" Steven's mouth was watering.

"Sure thing!" She picked up four donuts, one by one of course, and plopped them into a bag. "Anything else?"

"Yup! Could I get two of these, maybe a couple of those, a few of these, and. . .okay add my usual order too." He was pointing left and right at different batches of donuts. I'm wondering, why does he need so many? "Amethyst eats them all. She's the only crystal Gem who eats (by the way Pearl finds it disgusting so never offer her any kind of food or drink)," he spoke the last part in a whisper leaning in to tell me.

"Oh shi-eeetaki Mushrooms. Did I say that out loud?" I didn't think I'd lose myself that far in thought.

"Heh. Yeah you did," he held the back of his neck. Great.

"Whelp here you go! A bag full of Beach City's best, and only, donuts," she said placing the sweets stuffed bag onto the counter. Steven dug out a twenty from his back pocket and plopped it in her palm.

"Oh (Y/n) did you want anything? I kinda got carried away picking out Amethyst's," the small kiddo smiled apologetically up at me.

"Nah I'm good. I'll just pick from the bag. I'm sure she won't mind me eating one donut," I smirked down at him ruffling his hair. His immediate response was a broad smile and sparkling star eyes. What?! How can he do that? You know what, I'm not going to ask.

"See ya' Sadie!"

"Bye Steven! Bye (Y/n)!"

"I don't get why we can't just block'off the cave. I mean like com'mon, just cover the hole and then. Bam! No more creepy crawly gems coming' from it." The small purple gem said as she made wild hand motions describing the scene.

"Now Amethyst you know we can't do that! The corrupted gems will just find another way out. And then we'll have a bigger problem," Pearl proceeded to throw her arms into the air in exasperation. Her face depicting one of flabbergastedment.

"Garnet come on I need some back up here. You can't seriously be going with her plan!" She looked up at the tall gem.

Silence enveloped the small corridor they were in as the two waited for her response.

"I suppose it couldn't hurt." The purple gem groaned.

And so they started to put Pearl's plan into place.

Here's Chapter 6! 7 is already under construction so expect that to be out soon! Until then I hope you guys are enjoying the book!
