Pretty Cure Meets Steven Universe

Chapter 4

Soon, everyone was at Little Homeworld and they informed Bismuth, Lapis, and Peridot everything that happened. "She rode in on THAT?!" Peridot asked, looking through binoculars as Bismuth walked off, smiling nervously to Ruby and Sapphire. "Yeah" Steven replied. "She said my human half 'wouldn't stand a chance against her injector'." "What does that mean?" Lapis asked. "Why don't we just ask her?" Peridot suggested. "First, we have to find her." Yuni said. Spinel's finger poked Steven's shoulders as she hid away. "Fuwa thinks she found her~fuwa" Fuwa commented. "Wha-... Where'd she...?" Steven looked around before yelping as Spinel popped up from behind him. Spinel popped up from behind Steven, startling him. "Surprise!" Spinel giggled. "Here she is" Steven sighed. "My 'new best friend', Spinel..." "As you can see, she's not dangerous at the moment." Madoka said. "A pleasure to meet you all." Spinel smiled and bowed a bit. "I thought you said she was just trying to kill you." Bismuth remarked. "Like I said, she's not dangerous right now." Madoka replied. "Wow, quick turnaround." Lapis commented. "No kidding" Peridot replied. "It took me months to stop trying to kill Steven." "I'd say it took me a day," Bismuth said. "Day and a half?" "I'm still on the fence." Lapis added. The three Gems all shared a laugh from that. "You're all really choked up about this, aren't ya?" Yuni deadpanned.

"Alright, let's see this thing she hit you with." Peridot requested. "Right." Steven nodded and soon took out the weapon who began to examine it in the least safe ways possible. "Whoa..." Peridot said as she examined the weapon. "Was there like, a-a laser, or-" Bismuth hurriedly snatched the object from Peridot's hands before she could activate it. "Be careful with that!" she warned. "It's a Rejuvenator." "A Rejuvenator..." Prunce repeated. "...What does that mean~de purunsu?" "Homeworld used to use these things on Gems that started steppin' out of line. One hit with this...You're back to how they made you." Bismuth explained. She sadly looked at Ruby and Sapphire. "What are you looking at?" Ruby glared as she saw Bismuth looking at them. "Oh, my stars! I touched it! I could have lost all my character development!" Peridot panicked before looking curious at Steven. "Wait, how did you survive getting by that, Steven?" "I... I think I didn't" Steven said to her. "My human half kept me from poofing, but my gem half; it took the hit. She sent me back, it's like I'm a kid again!" Then he began to flip out. "I can barely control my powers! How do we reverse this...? Oh, no... do I need to get the Diamonds?!" Bismuth handed the Rejuvenator back to Steven. "You're the one with healing powers," Lapis soon said to Steven. "If anyone can fix this, it's you." "I can't believe this; for the first time in years, everyone's in danger" Steven frowned as he put the Rejuvenator back in his coat pocket. "Everyone needs me and I'm useless. Bismuth, what do we do?" "Oh, Steven." Hikaru frowned in concern. "I'm sorry, Steven" Bismuth sighed to the hybrid boy. "I don't know..."

Steven turned his gaze to Ruby and Sapphire before tearing up. "Garnet would know what to do..." he said sadly. "Garnet always knows what to do..." The girls and aliens began to feel hopeless. "Hey! Don't be sad..." Spinel beamed, beginning to dance around Steven, slowly taking on more maniacally happy expressions before coiling around Steven in celebration. "Your new best friend, your new best friend, your new best friend, YOUR NEW BEST FRIEND SPINEL IS HERE!" Spinel began to laugh as she danced around Steven before doing a hand stance as she clamped her feet together. Steven felt dejected and refused to acknowledge Spinel's attempts to cheer him up and began to sing to himself. "Here we are in the future, Here we are in the future and it's wrong, Just a second ago, we were singing this song, And now, they're gone, because of her, Happily ever after, there we were~" Fuwa frowned, feeling sad for Steven. "When has it ever been easy?~" Bismuth sang to help out Steven in his time of need. "Hasn't it always been hard to be us~" Steven looked up to her as she walked up to him. "When you go against the grain, There's always somebody around you can't trust~" Bismuth continued. "That's why we've got to have each other, While we'll figure this out, we must!~" Spinel looked around, not realizing Bismuth had been talking about her. Bismuth helped Steven onto his feet. "Because we are the Crystal Gems, And we never give up, We never give up on our friends, As long as one of us is standing to brandish the star~," she gestured to Steven. "We'll find a way, To save the day, That's who we are!~" The girls nodded in agreement. "Here we are in the future~" Steven sang. "Here we are in the future and it's wrong! Look at them, they're not even singing along~" Steven sang, gesturing to Ruby and Sapphire.
