The Extra

"But don't you see?! All I've ever done is hurt people! And that was okay!" Steven's face turned into shock at her words. "It was okay because they were bad! It was okay beause they wanted to hurt the Earth! To hurt you guys!" TP lifts up her head to show her tears. "Tp..." Steven trailed off. "But, I don't want to hurt you. If I hurt you..." "Tp..." "I just migh-" "Tp." "Shatter myse-" "TP!" Her head shoot up, giving her attention to the halfling. Steven tackles her in a hug, his own tears falling. "You didn't hurt those gems! They hurt you!" The little Peridot's face scrunches up in confusion. "But-" "It doesn't matter what they said! It wasn't you! It was never you!" Tp's tears started to fall more slowly, almost stopping. "But... what if I hurt you?" Steven chuckled and pulled away from her. Wiping his tears away, her stands up, and offers a hand.

"You won't. And never ever talk about shattering yourself again. Whatever comes our way, we'll do it together." The little peridot looks at his hand, then to his smiling face. Smiling back, she wipes her tears and takes his hand. The both of them not knowing that their gems were glowing, and that everyone was watching secretly, they hug. "Promise?" "I promise." They pull away, holding hands, gems still glowing. Steven unexpectedly kisses her cheek. Blushing, she hides her face in his shoulder. Steven chuckles and picks her up by her waist. "S-Steven!" He twirls her around, still laughing. After a couple of seconds of teasing her, she finally laughs. They spin, and spin, 'til finally, they fused. The fusion opens her eyes, giggling. She then freezes. "A-Ah! I'm sorry! I'm... wait. I'm okay. I'm okay!" She hugs herself, tripping over her extra leg.

Bursting out laughing, she sighs happily. "I'm okay."
