(I drew this picture months ago skskks)
[Note I made the first 25% a while back]
--------------
"who am I? Who am I? What are you even saying?" I hum the tune as I sit next to the mail box on a rock kicking my legs back and fourth, I'm waiting for Jamie to show up with a package I bought. Which is an iPad! Well the knock off version of it. The phone I have now is connected to my world- the real one where this is all just a cartoon, I tried to contact my family but for some reason I cant, i send messages but they never respond nor pick up my phone calls. I've tried so many times but I had to stop because I was starting to get emotional. I feel like having a Steven Universe version of a device. Plus I love to draw and play mobile games.
i notice Jamie turn the corner, I jump off the rock excitingly,

"Jamie!"
"hey there Nora! A package from you this time huh?" Jamie questions reaching for the rectangular box in his postal bag. I nod, "been wanting a tablet to play on, thanks" I thanked grabbing the box. Jamie takes out the small device to put an electronic signature on it."I believe you know the drill madame" he playfully says I smile and nod writing name in cursive and add small little diamonds around it.
✨ NORA UNIVERSE ✨
I give him back the pen. "Well I'll see you around fellow theater lover!" He waves goodbye walking away. I wave back "goodbye to you too fellow theater lover!" I remember telling him I also liked theater but not as much as him though, I look at the rectangular box in my hand oooo I cant wait to open this! . Suddenly I hear the door to the house slam open .
"NORAAA WE'RE GOING ON A MISSIONNN"
i laugh when I hear Steven, "OKAYYY I'LL BE RIGHT THEREEE" I yell in response. I speed walk to the house and open the door. I see them already on the warp pad, "cmon Nora, we gonna leave you" Amethyst says with her arms crossed. I roll my eyes, "let me put up this package first" I go and put the package on the bed and jump down to the first floor. "Nora! What did I say about doing that!?" Pearl questions me irritatingly as I walk up to the warp pad, "to not do it.." I answer with a sigh, "exactly, you can get hurt!" Was the last thing pearl said as we warped to the site of the mission.
When we arrived the place looked like a dessert, "a dessert?" I asked, "we need to get the-"
"we need to get this pillow that makes a bunch of junk on the sand!" Amethyst interrupts pearl from speaking causing her to huff. I nod, they can't see but I have sparkles in my eyes- I can't wait to meet lion! I've never seen a lion in real life before and I get to pet him without having to worry about getting killed! Ooh I can't wait! Sweat forms around my face as my body started to grow hot, dang it's so freaking hot. It's as hot as Florida in the summer 😩. As we walk Steven starts to crawl on the ground, "it's...so...hot.." he mutters out getting all sweaty. " I should have left my rain coat..." I breath out walking in front of Steven, "well just take it off then" pearl tells me in an obvious tone, I shake my head "no I don't want to take off my season 1 clothing" I say to her fanning myself with my hands, "season one clothing..?" .
We walk some more,
"Water....I need water...so thirsty.!" Steven and I say in unison both crawling on the sand covered in sweat as we go over a pile of sand that was once a pillar,
"I'm gonna pass out"
"then take off your jacket"
"no they're my season 1 clothing"
"what does that even mean?!"

"And it would be safer if you stand up and walk" pearl tells us, "you don't understand, this is how your supposed to act in the dessert..!" Steven's voice cracked,
Then I get up and Steven follows my actions,
"hah..is this..the place??" Steven asked out of breath, we both look at garnet for the answer, "yes, the power of the structure turned aimless"(idk what she said) she answers right away, "it's out of control, it's making walls, pillars, and stairs that go no where!" Pearl starts to say,
"then I guess we better-" amethyst leaps over Steven causing him to yelp, she rolled down the pile of sand and onto the ground "roll on over there" she finishes with a chuckle, I laugh too, "that was a bit unnecessary" pearl says putting her hands on her hips,
"Nuh nuh nuh nuh nuhnuhnuh" amethyst mocked at her, "exCUse me?!" Pearl says offended, this caused me to let out a small snicker. I wave pearl off, "I thought it was pretty funny" I say causing amethyst to smile, "she knows what I'm talking about!" She smirked getting up. Then suddenly we heard a roar of some sort in the background. "What was that?!" Steven looked around frantically getting scared, I looked around too to see if I can spot a big bundle of pink fur but to no luck. "Let's go!" Amethyst says ready to go, "it'll be best if you stay here Steven, cmon Nora" garnet says , wait I can go with them?? But I wanna see lion not a pillow that has a gem on it like lapis that could be the next antagonist in a new series! "It'll be quick" pearl says going down, "why does Nora get to go?? What if something eats me??" Steven says scared and sweats, garnet puts her hands on steven's Face and playfully flicks his sweat back at him "do not worry wet one, there's nothing out here that can harm you. Nora has better control of her abilities and we might need her for this mission" she says to Steven calming him down. I groan inwardly, as much as I want to see new stuff in this universe I wanna see lion even more, "it seems you guys have it under control, I'll just be here to keep Steven company" I say to her, "yeah!" Steven agrees not wanting to be alone. She looks at the both of us and gives us a smile
"I'll see y'all soon" she runs and leaps away. How does she do that?? "Okay". We both walk down from the pile and sit against a pillar,
"man it's hot" I say moving my rain coat up and down from my body to make it cooler, "you can say that again" Steven huffed out putting his shirt above his head, we heard a growl in front of us, "what was that?" Steven asked lifting his shirt up so he can see,
"Nothing can harm me, I, am the wet one" he says confidently,
i point "over there!" I whisper to him pointing at lion who was next to a pillar causing him to yell in fear, he gets up and takes my hand dragging me behind the pillar with them. "Good thing this column is here" but just as Steven said that the pillar turned back into sand, making him turn around and yelp seeing lion right in front of us, "no no no!" We walk backwards and Steven falls, "it's okay Steven" I reassure him getting front and summon my shield "he won't hurt us" Steven starts to calm down knowing I'm here to protect him. "I'm so glad you stayed behind!" He says as a wall formed from behind us. I smiled at him, "yeah".
we look at lion who wasn't doing anything to us, "huh?" Steven let out confused. Lion yawned and laid down ready to take a nap. I unsummon my shield, which made Steven get up and walk towards lion with me in tow , Steven went to go pet him on the head but leaps back and tries again,
"don't bite!" Steven then pets lions head, lion lets him. "Aww" Steven awed I took this as my cue to go and hug his mane,
"I've never hugged and pet a lion before!" I say excitingly, "me either!" Steven says petting lion . "You just wanted attention! Didn't you, didn't you!" He baby talked to lion , he walked to where I'm at and starts to pet his mane, "your mane, it's so soft" he slides to the ground next to me.
"So your from around here? Me and Nora are just here on business" Steven starts to climb lion , "is there anything to eat or drink around here for him?" I ask looking around, Steven does the same, "I don't see any water or any big donuts" He replies back. "I really like your pink fur, your like the cotton candy of the jungle!" Steven leaps on lion's head, to which lion lays on his side causing Steven to fall and me get up, Steven crawled back up, "we've always wanted an animal friend, but I always thought it would be something like a hamster or a dog-"
"or a big dinosaur" I say , waving my hands up to emphasize on big, "yeah!" Steven laughed. he jumped down next to me near lion's side, "But I guess life had other plans for Nora and Steven universe!" I smiled and after Steven said that lion wrapped his big paw around us causing Steven and I to lay on our stomachs.
"and our new best friend, lion⭐️" Steven whispers with stary eyes. But suddenly..
Boom
was heard in the background, I was already expecting it but I still jumped. Not long had past for all of us to be covered in sand. Once we had bounced back up and shook off the sand we can hear the rest of the gems come back.
I can hear pearl and amethyst having a little argument as garnet as usual stayed quiet. Steven gasps
"garnet, amethyst and pearl are coming, quick put my head in your mouth!" I laugh when Steven tries to put his head in lion's mouth but lion wasn't opening his teeth, "Nora,Steven !" We hear pearl say worryingly, they all summon their weapons. "What is that?what are you doing? Nora why aren't you stopping it?!" All I could do is shrug at her while Steven explains. " uh stop it's okay!" Steven puts his arms up in front of lion, I pet lion's mane "look he's totally tamed" he says to them and I nod in agreement hugging lion. Pearl with her weapon still out and pointed at lion still looks in disbelief "that's impossible" her words makes steven disagree "no it isn't! I taught him to say 'I love you'!" He quickly replies moving his hands to lion's mouth moving it to the words "I love you!" Aww I smile at the sight having my phone in my hand and recording him doing that, what? that was cute 🥺 I'm one of those moms that records their children okay 😤😤😤. Amethyst being amethyst plays along "that's so sweet! I, I love you too" putting her hands on her hips. Pearl unsummons her spear and sighs in defeat, "get you hands out of that things mouth" she demands steven, "we have to get the dessert glass out of the dessert!" She tries to get the pillow from amethyst but amethyst wouldn't let her moving it away from reach "I got ittt" she retorts walking away
The other gems start following her "let's go nora, steven" garnet says walking as well. I stay put as steven starts to speak "okay just give us a sec" we both turn to lion "hey lion? We gotta go, we had a lot of fun I feel like you really get us" he smiles a bit sadly and pauses for a few seconds, he suddenly shushes lion who wasnt even making a sound which made me almost laugh, "shhhhh this is already too hard for the both of us" steven starts to jog towards the gems. I stayed put and looked at lion I run my fingers through his mane "hey lion, your gonna come back to us for the pillow right? To protect us from it" I whisper to him , he cocks his head to the side and stares at me . I move the hair from my face and look him back in the eyes, "you miss her dont you? It's okay I'll be here for you when ever you come." He continues to stare at me but the look in his eyes soften "nora? Cmon pearl says to hurry to the warp so we can go home!" Steven tells to me, I pet lion one more time "I'll see you later cotton candy of the jungle" I pet his face and he leans into my hand rubbing his face against it. I then take a step back and start running to steven "I'm coming!"
TIME SKIP
I'm drawing on my ipad, it's not really and ipad but I'm calling it that, on the left side of the couch that still had cushion since steven and amethyst built a little fort out of the rest of them with the dessert glass on top, I could probably convince amethyst to actually contain it but steven probably wouldn't be close to lion if he doesn't throw it out the door and cause it to start form pillars and such and having lion save him yadda yadda. There's a lot I cant do for the sake of future events and I've seeing more spinel fanart and comics and fic that I'm slowly starting to have her as my favorite character, I dont know if I can wait until everything is over with the diamonds that's gonna take months to over a year I think, i wish i can contact her some how...my eyes widen as an imaginary light bulb lit up on top of my head, I know! I can go into her dreams or mind like steven does ! But how will that go, I kinda want to see movie spinel because she was 😳😳😳 when she was vengeful, AHHH I'm being selfish, I just want to see her, maybe I could tell her I'm her imaginary friend or something in her dreams until I can actually save her??? Ugh I'm starting to get a head ache from this- "nora!" I jolt as my train of thought crashed into the ocean, I look at steven who was by the door grinning ear to ear, "lion is here! Lion is here!" He tells me and sure enough I can see him through the window, the door was open and lion tried getting in, "whoa hahaha your fresh! Come outside with me nora!" I walk up and we both go outside with steven closing the door behind us. "You cant go in there, amethyst is pretend sleeping but what eves we're all together again now we do everything best friends do!" I immediately get flashbacks of spinel in the garden o-o I shake my head. Steven motions lion to go down at the beach "I got an idea!" Oh boy... i walk with lion so i can get ready to catch this poor boy.
Steven raises his hand in the air "okay here I come! I'm gonna jump! Get into position!" Lion didnt seem to care though, "ready! Anddd catch me! I'm jumping!" He pauses but lion still didnt look like he wanted to participate in whatever steven was trying to make him do. "Catch me! I'm fallinggg! do it! Catch me I'll die!" How long does this last again? "EEEEE" Oh steven... lion will warm up to you eventually. "Okay obviously your not into this-" he was walking to the side, this was my que I see him slip and fall "whoa!" I put my hands up and catch him before he gets hurt, "game, thanks nora but I wish lion was the one who really caught me" he says as i put him down, he walks away and I just look at him. Aight then I get it dont worry you and lion will be the best buds ever I wont let connie just up and take him from you ! That's right I dont want connie to just take lion as hers like she did in the show, lion is steven's 😤. I'm starting to think of not giving her mom's sword either...Pearl has tons of swords just give her one of those. Wait...I should get sword lessons from pearl now if I plan on taking the sword! Or I'll give the sword to steven but I dont think he'd want to take sword fighting lessons...I'll have bismuth make him a special shield or something. But for right now I plan on sticking with steven and lion. I see steven walk back up with a tennis ball. "Okay, I'm gonna throw this ball! Here it comes!" He goes and throws the ball which Is actually a good throw, it lands right in front of lion but lion makes no move to catch it. Steven puts his hands on his face "whAaAAaAt?! That throw was so good!" He runs to get the ball and I jog with him. "All you have to do is catch it in your mouth see?" Steven throws it up and catches it in his mouth but lion looks the other way uninterested making steven aww, "you dont like that one either?" Steven clinged onto his mane awww🥺🥺🥺 babyy lion show some attention at least 😭 I put a hand on Steven's shoulder "I think only dogs love to play catch steven not lions" I tell him ,
"o-okay, wait! I got something you gotta like!"
....
"Fish stew pizza, CATS love fish, everybody loves pizza so you're gonna LOVE this" steven looks through the door "whoaa this place Is jumping!" I snicker season 1 steven is such a good ball......I'm gonna miss season 1 steven 😭😭😭. "Wait here, we're gonna blow some minds! Cmon nora!" I shake my head "you go inside I'll stay with lion" and make sure he doesn't run off 😤 "oh..okay!" He quickly goes to open the door "wait!" I stop him, "huh?"
"Get me a drink too" he gives me a thumbs up and heads inside. Once we're alone I start talking to lion "I get why your here but you should try and at least pay attention to him it's kinda sad how uninterested you are at his attempts" I tell him, he looks away from me and closes his eyes, I sigh at least this ain't forever lion starts to walk away but I run and block him "oh no you dont, your staying here" I tell him he looks at me and starts to sway his tail, "nope steven wants you to stay here so you are plus he's getting you food so it's a good deal, just stay please" I pleaded, he looks in defeat and laziness and plops on the ground, I smile and walk to lean on the wall next to the door. A couple seconds later I see Ronaldo walk out followed by kiki and onion "whoa this is incredible! He's all pink too!" Ronaldo starts to take a bunch of pictures, "wow steven you actually have a pet lion, that is incredible can I pet him?" Kiki asks as steven walked out the door, steven looks at me and i look at lion who was starting to get annoyed by Ronaldo I look back at steven and nod "sure he's totally tamed!" He says back to kiki they all start petting lion who actually let's them, I go up to lion "thank you" he huffs and looks away. Then lions starts to get up "okay I think he's had enough petting and pictures.....Ronaldo I said no more pictures." I say again to Ronald who kept taking picture for his blog "fine okay I gotta get back to my laptop and post these anyway" he walks back I side the restaurant, "thanks for showing us your cool pet guys I've never pet a lion before" kiki thanks us before going back to her job "I'll have your order ready in a few minutes" we nod at her and onion comes up to us and smiles giving us a thumbs up and walks into a different direction. Steven sighed in satisfaction, "satisfied?" I ask smiling to him, he nods "yep he stayed for me! I knew we were getting along! I cant wait to eat and head back" I nod with him kind of hungry. Kiki comes out with two orders of extra large pizza and a soft drink "heres your food" steven digs into his pockets and laughs nervously "uhh...nora?" I laugh "it's fine I got it" I pull out my wallet from my pant pocket and see I have only ten dollars I give it to her "sorry i dont have any money for the soft drink, I thought I had more" i rub the back of my head in embarrassment but kiki waves it off, "it's fine it's on the house as thanks for letting me pet your pink lion, it's just a dollar anyways" I thank and and take the food and drink. We all ate and headed back home, we walked but lion bolted to the house "wait lion!" He start to run after him, once we get there we see him making claw marks on the door "hey lion! What are you doing??" Lion didnt listen and broke the door down, that kinda startled me, it was louder in person then on the show. Im surprised amethyst didnt wake up.
"Lion! No!"
Lion stared at the dessert pillow and steven put two and two together when he roared at the fort and looked at the dessert pillow that landed on our bedroom floor. "Is this..what you wanted??" Steven runs up and grabs the pillow putting it in front of him, "this pillow?" Steven's voice starts to crack, nooo steven your gonna make me tear up ;-;,
"I've been trying to play with you, and feed you cuz I thought we were best friends did all that mean nothing to you??" Msbsijwhsjwj I'm cryinggg 😭😭😭 I cant handle steven being sad. Lion didnt listen and climbed on top of the floor where steven is at making him shout in surprise, he runs to the door , this is where it happens.. "fine! I dont care!" He goes out side on the balcony "if you want it, you can have it!" I run out side "steven the sand" I say in a calm voice reaching him,"huh? Oh no" he runs to towards it as it starts making pillars, garnet and pearl come out of no where "steven the dessert glass! Its rebuilding its castle.." she turns to amethyst accusingly when she walked up "why didnt you bubble it earlier?" She said annoyed, "welcome to shrug city P." She shrugged looking tired, I let out a snicker that line still cracks me up. Pearl just looks back at steven "dont move we're coming!" She yells to steven, "okay!" As he said that a cloud of sand shield our vision from him. It starts to get hectic. I go to lion "please save help him get the pillow and save us" I pleaded again in a soft voice, he looks at me and runs inside the cloud to steven I sigh in relief, I'm totally taking a nap after this... a wall blocks us from getting close and garnet tries to punch it but to no avail, "it's not working" she says stopping "we gotta get through before things get any wor-" pearl is interrupted by a pillar hitting amethyst causing her to get sucked up by the strong winds
"WhoaaAaaA"
More clouds of sand invade our vision. But then we see steven riding lion holding the pillow making everything dissapear and go back to normal which made a pillar land on us turning to sand burying us Steven lands on his butt still holding on to the dessert glass. We pop back up and steven looks at us laughing nervously.
Steven and I stood next to lion as pearl bubbled and sent the pillow away "we should've done this in the first place" amethyst speaks up "in my defense, I forgot". Steven looks at lion "so I guess..this is goodbye. We had some good times, but I'm sure you have other magical stuff to smash with other magical boys and girls" he then moves lion's mouth with his hands again "I love you steven, nora, I want to stay with you forever" lion magically spoke, steven gasps "really? Guys you hear that?!" We both face the gems, "are we really gonna let them keep that?" Pearl asks garnet questionably, "we kept amethyst" she answered which made pearl laugh and amethyst go (-_-) "oh! hahaha kept amethyst oh garnet that's priceless!" Pearl laughed leaning her hand against garnet as she held her stomach. Steven had sparkles in his eyes "yayyy lion ! Wink!" And made lion wink. And this is where the episode ends I pet lion on the head "welcome to the family lion" I walk up to pearl who just finished laughing, "hey pearl? Can I ask you something?" Pearl looks at me questionably "yes nora?"
"Can you teach me sword fighting? I wanna learn how to battle with a sword and your the only one I know who knows how to really fight with one" I ask determined, she gets teary eyed "really?? Oh my! I could just protect you myself but if your that determined we can start now!" She says excitedly, oop I wanted to take a nap first ah well.
"Wait nora your gonna train to use a sword?" Steven asks still standing next to lion, I nod "that's amazing can i watch?!" I nod again laughing, "I'll need someone to motivate me to be even better!" I say walking towards the house steven puts his hands in the air "I'm that someone!".
Pearl takes us the that floating broken place to train I forgot what it was called steven was amazed by the place and pearl showed us hollow pearl and started teaching me the basics with hollow pearl, with Perry Perry thrust and all that . I only trained for about an hour since steven needed to go to the bathroom and I took this chance to call it a day to take a nap. And maybe see spinel, as I fall asleep I focused my thoughts on spinel and the garden my surroundings started to go silent and everything was pitch black, I open my eyes and look in surprise at what I see. Its....

_____________________________________
I liveeeeeee after months I'm woke and in quarantine. Sorry for being late I literally have no excuse 😳. Anyways I changed some things like having pink being rose a secret again which means I have to have nora have normal black eyes and a rose quartz like gem, since the gems would have noticed when she was first a baby I'll have her have her gem rotated and her eyes pink diamonds later on in the story. Also my favorite character is spinel now garnet I'm sorry 😳.

Dont worry I'm making an extra

'Chapter' later but right now it's like 6 am and im gonna sleep. 😴

Heart and comment!

Let me know what you think!
