To the user who asked for an update: this one's 4 u :)
"What exactly can we do to fix this?" Steven asks with urgency.
"Well, maybe we should call somebody," PD suggests.
"Who?" Steven leans back on his hands.
This is bad. How can I call the gems about this? They trusted I'd be alright out here on my own.
No, Steven, don't think like that— you can always count the gems, they're your family.
"Pin... Uh, Roseeee— Uh—" Steven tries to call PD's attention.
"You can call me Mom, Steven... that is, if you want to?"
"I..." Steven hesitates. I don't want to.
"How about a nickname? Volleyball tells me you like nicknames!"
"Uh... okay, sure, ummm..." PD looks hurt. "What nickname did you have in mind?"
"How aboooout..." Steven thinks it over, "Pink Rose."
"That's... clever, Steven," PD agrees, although not actually liking it.
"There we go! Pink Rose! Two halves of a half!" Steven forces a grin.
PD fakes a smile too, putting two thumbs up.
"So, Pink Rose, I think that maybe we should call Connie," Steven suggests.
"OOH! CONNIEEEE! I love her! She's so perfect for you!" PD gushes.
"Hehe, yeah... she is..." Steven's mind goes back to the proposal briefly. Focus, Steven.
"If we call her, maybe she and her dad can come and get us!"
"Good idea! But why not call the gems?" PD asks.
"I reeeeally don't think they'd be ready... y'no, to see you again?"
Steven explains, scratching the back of his head. "After all that happened... and all 'we've' gone through, I don't think it's a good time."
"Oh. O-Of course," PD realizes, even without being able to know what Steven's thinking, that he really meant 'all you've put me through.'
Steven digs through the remains of his car, searching for his cellphone. He finds it with the screen cracked and calls his lover.
"Steven! Hey! How's the trip?" Connie picks up.
"C-Can we face-call?" Steven asks.
"Sure," Connie turns on FaceTime. "Everything okay?"
"Ummm... I'm in the middle of the desert... and my car is toast."
"What do you mean, 'toast'?" Connie questions, eyebrows furrowed.
Steven directs his camera to the wreck.
"OH MY— WHAT HAPPENED?!" Connie freaks out.
"There was a storm, and it got wrecked."
"Oh no!" Connie gasps. "Don't worry, Steven, I'll get my dad and we'll come get you!"
"Connie, there's something else..."
"Hm? What's wrong? Are you hurt?!"
"No, it's..."
Pink Rose pops her head into the view of the camera. "Hello, Connie!"
"Who's that?" Connie asks.
"Connie... meet my mom."
