Wulfenite: A Steven Universe Story

Chapter 28

Steven was washing the mayor's car while Peridot was lifting it in the air, giving Steven the opportunity to crawl under it and clean the underside. "Guys, I need to tell you something." Wulfenite said as he arrived at the car wash. "What is it, Wulfenite?" Steven said as he crawled from under the car; "You look sad, what's wrong?" Wulfenite sat down. "Well, Lapis and I were enjoying my day off at the beach, but I forgot to bring a parasol, so Lapis figured that I'd just lend one from the house, but when I approached the temple, I heard Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl talking about how I am a spy! They suspect me of being a spy!" "What?! You? But you're a key element in our rebellion!" Peridot said. Greg walked out the car wash. "Hey Wulfenite, why are you looking so worried? Something wrong?" "He's suspected of being a spy by the gems ." Steven told Greg. "Really? That's unexpected! I always thought of the gems being good! Well, except that day they kidnapped you, Steven. So what are you going to do?" "Well, they're planning on taking me to a distant unidentified planet and leaving me there." Steven, Peridot and Greg looked shocked. "That's so cruel!" Steven said. "They have good intents, they just want to protect you, Steven." "I'm old enough to know who to trust and how to protect myself! You're a good gem, Wulfenite. You can't be a spy!" "I know, but there's no way explaining that to them, so I'll just confront them with this when they're about to leave me at the unidentified planet. They can't outsmart me. So for the time being, don't tell them that you guys know about this. I'll handle this problem." Peridot walked up to Wulfenite and gave him a hug. Lapis and Steven joined in and eventually, Greg did, too: "You'll get through this. Just to clarify, you aren't a spy, right?" Steven looked mad at Greg. "What? It's always safe to know! Especially when you're spending so much time with him." "Greg's right. You're very precious to him. I understand. He's just being careful. And no Greg, don't worry. I'm no spy." Wulfenite said.

Wulfenite sat in the truck stuck in the barn. "I wonder when they're going to take me. I hope it's soon, so I can put this all behind me." He said to himself. Lapis flew up and sat next to Wulfenite: "You know, we haven't finished our date yet." Wulfenite smiled: "You're right. Shall we go to the forest?" Lapis smiled and took Wulfenite's hand. Together, they flew into the forest. "What if it's just a big misunderstanding?" Lapis said. "I surely hope so, but I can't imagine anonther context in which the things they said make sense." Wulfenite said. "I'd love to say you're just being negative, but I think you're right." A silence fell. "What if I just ask if you can join me, and then you just point an arrow at the way back to earth? They aren't planning on leaving you on the planet." Lapis said: "That's a wonderful idea! Let's do that!" They arrived at the lake in the middle of the forest. "Let's just forget today. We're going to have a great afternoon here." Wulfenite said. He took off his cape and dove into the water. "C'mon! The water is nice." Wulfenite said to Lapis. Lapis walked into the water: "It's not bad." She splashed water in Wulfenite's face. Wulfenite laughed and put his arms together to make a big wave with his arms. Lapis got soaked. "So you want to play it rough? You're in my territory now!" Lapis concentrated and summoned a giant arm. The smashed the fist onto Wulfenite. "Haha, that was nothing!" Wulfenite summoned his staff and spun it around, shooting water towards lapis, who blocked it with a water wall. Wulfenite spun faster, but to no success. Eventually, he just slashed through the wall. "Hey, no fair! This is a water fight!" Lapis shot water at Wulfenite. Wulfenite put down his weapon and stuck his hands in the air: "I give up! You win!" Lapis laughed and gave Wulfenite a hug: "Make sure you get back home safely, you're too precious to me." Wulfenite gave Lapis a kiss on her forehead: "I promise." A lightning bolt lit up the sky. "I think it's going to rain. Let's go home, Lapis." Wulfenite placed Lapis on his back and they flew back to the barn.
