Yours Truly: Steven Universe

Chapter 2

It was a tranquil, peaceful summer. Months had come to pass since Spinels assault on Beach City. Today was a special day. Not just because it was nice, but because it marked the two year anniversary of peace being instilled to the galaxy. Steven busted out of the beach house, smiling ear to ear. It was a bright smile that put even the sun to shame. Steven rocked his signature pink jacket, and star shirt, but Steven had dressed up a bit differently for today. Instead of his sandals he wore red sneakers, and he wore red finger-less gloves with a red pink scarf secured around his neck.

"Ahh, galactic peace day." He said to himself. Oh how he loved this day. A day where people and gems gather together to celebrate. Stevens favourite parts of today were the parties that everyone would throw.Steven slid down the banister and hopped off, sprinting towards where this years party was being held. The beach. Countless people and gems were spread out across the mass of sand. Gems from homeworld and tourists had come for the party as well. 

Steven surveyed the area. He spotted the crystal gems amongst the continuously growing crowd, each carrying out their own activity.

Amethyst and the Famethyst were devouring countless amounts of food. Pearl was talking with the mystery lady, whose name they learnt was Bexley. Garnet was helping Greg with the barbecue and everyone else was just enjoying the party. Steven was suddenly shoved forcefully down into a chair. 

"Oof!" He bellowed.

Steven looked to see Connie, a goofy grin plastered on her face.A red rosy blush engulfed his face as she was unknowingly straddling him.

"Steven! You made it!" She laughed. She enveloped her friend in a tight hug that pressed her body against his, making Stevens blush flare up. 

"Yep, wouldn't miss it for the world." he commented, hugging her back to the best of his ability, though it was hard with her hug restricting his movements. "Better watch what you say. Don't wanna jinx it." she told him. Connie finally released Steven and got off him. Steven stretched out his arms and flexed his fingers. 

"Wow, you got a really strong hold." "Thanks, it's what happens when you've been training everyday for the past two years. Anyway, nearly everyone is here, we're just waiting on a few special guests."

Steven looked around to confirm. The 'special guests' he had invited hadn't arrived just yet. As he looked around, he looked at everyone's faces. The looks of fun on people's faces, the sounds of their laughter, the songs they sang.This is what Steven wanted. This is what he wished for, what he worked so hard for. The happy ending.Steven stepped onto the chair and stood up, standing tall. "Connie, could you pass me those?" Steven pointed to a cup of soda and a fork that sat atop a table. With a questioning look, Connie complied.Steven lightly tapped the rim of the glass with the top of the utensil. A ringing sound echoed, capturing the attention of the parties attendants. A few murmurs were passed along the crowd.

"Everyone, may I please have your attention?" Steven voiced. All chatter amongst them ceased and all eyes were trained on their saviour, and the galaxy's. Steven cleared his throat.

"Hey everyone, as you all know my name is Steven Universe, son of Pink Diamond and leader of the pink court. Today we are here to celebrate the second anniversary of the joining of Earth and Homeworld, and the establishment of peace and freedom across the galaxy."Steven beamed his smile again.

"Not only is it us celebrating, but the entirety of Earth is celebrating this day with us too. Right now in front of you all, I'd like to make a toast. Please, join me in raising a glass to peace and prosperity."Steven raised his glass up.The gems and humans around grabbed their glasses, and followed suite."To Happily ever after!"
