An exhausted looking Steven headed back into Little Homeworld, a curious Amethyst following him. She walked a few hundred feet behind him, mimicking each and every one of his movements. Steven turned around to face her and she ran into a bush, a slight giggle escaping her throat.

"Amethyst." Steven chuckled. "It's okay if you follow me. I won't mind."

"I won't mind." Amethyst repeated with a giggle. She walked out of the bush she was in and made her way over towards Steven. He watched her plop herself down on the ground and look up at him.

He bent down and helped her up. "A-Amethyst!"

"A-Amethyst!" Amethyst repeated. Steven snickered at this.

He turned, his mind set on continuing on his way to Little Homeworld. Amethyst continued to follow behind him. But it wasn't too long before she plopped herself down on the ground again. Steven turned the moment she did so, a slight laugh escaping his throat.

"A-amethyst, get up." Steven said. "Please?"

Amethyst wanted to remain sat down on the ground, her legs now crossed. She focused her attention towards Steven, and the latter let out a quiet sounding sigh, going over towards her and helping her up a second time. He turned around again, this time taking Amethyst with him. He held onto her hand and led her back towards Little Homeworld. Amethyst's curious eyes were focused on her surroundings.

Steven didn't want to know exactly how Amethyst had gotten that far from Little Homeworld in the first place.

He suddenly felt Amethyst let go of his hand, turning his head to see exactly where she'd gone to. A quick look around the surrounding area and he found her sitting down right next to some flowers, a few in her hand. She curiously reached her free hand towards the flowers she was holding the very same moment a bee landed on one of the flowers. Amethyst reached her hand out towards the bee, wanting to touch it.

Steven panicked and sprinted over towards Amethyst as soon as he saw what she was doing at the moment. "A-amethyst, n-no, d-don't touch that B-bee!"

Amethyst turned her head towards him, dropping the few flowers that she was holding. "D-don't touch that Bee?"

"Yes, that's right, don't touch that bee." Steven nodded in response as he bent down and helped Amethyst up yet again. As he continued to make his way over to Little Homeworld, he made sure to keep an eye on Amethyst and make sure she didn't wander off again. Make sure to grab a hold of her hand if she were to ever let go of him.

He turned as he felt Amethyst let go of his hand again. The latter's mind set on going back over towards the same flowers she was sitting near just five short minutes ago. "Amethyst, you're not going to touch that bee again? Are you?"
