{Part II} ~✦~ Chapter XXIV

Steven woke up in a very happy mood, which honestly surprised the gems. The boy hadn't been in the best of moods for the past few months, after all, so this change in attitude was a bit. . . shocking, honestly.

"Uh, Steven?" Amethyst began, leaning against the gem-hybrids doorway as she watched him pack a duffle bag. Lunar sat on Steven's bed, sucking on his pacifier as he watched his papa fold clothes.

Steven, at the sound of Amethyst's voice, stopped what he was doing and turned to the purple gem. He smiled. "Oh, hey, Amethyst!" he gave her a small wave and then went back to his packing. "What brings you here?"

Amethyst blinked, but then shook her head and walked in. Sitting down next to Lunar on Steven's bed, the gem gave the baby a small smile as he giggled and crawled onto her lap. Her smile, however, soon faded, and she looked back over to Steven; feeling both concerned and confused at the same time.

Feeling a pair of eyes on him, Steven looked up from the contents in his bag and quickly noticed the look Amethyst was giving him. He rose a brow. "Amethyst, is there something wrong?" he asked questionably.

Slowly, Amethyst shook her head. "Uh, no. It's just, well. . ." she sighed. Steven's brows rose and he sat down next to his older sister figure. "It's just what?" he asked.

Amethyst hesitated. After months of sadness and locking himself in his room, Steven was finally happy again. She didn't want to mess that up.

But, still, she needed to know.

"Steven. . . why are you so. . . happy all of a sudden?" When Amethyst saw the boys eyes widen, she began to panic. "It - it's just, well-"

She was cut off by Steven, who was laughing.

"Oh, I can't believe I forgot to tell you guys!" Steven chuckled, running a hand through his curly locks.

Amethyst's brows rose. "W-what?" she stuttered, now more confused than ever.

Steven grinned. "Well. . ." he turned back to face Amethyst, and a small, pink hue dusted his cheeks. "I know where (Y/n) is now!"

Amethyst's eyes widened. "Wh-"

"WHAT?!"

SLAM! THUD!

Quickly, both Amethyst and Steven whipped their heads over to the door. They were surprised to see Pearl, Peridot, Connie and Greg on the floor: stacked on top of eachother in a pile.

.

.

.

". . . Guys? What're you doing?"

The others physically jumped and quickly looked up. Their faces heated up out of embarrassment, and they quickly scrambled off of one another and stood up.

"Uh, sorry schtu-ball. . . we were just worried. . ." Greg chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck as he glanced up at his son from the floor.

Steven blinked, surprised. "Why?"

This time, everyone jumped, but that was only because the sound of the author face palming was loud enough to surprise them.

"Whoa. What was that?" Amethyst questioned, looking around for something that wasn't actually there because the author doesn't exist in this world.

"Wait, what does that mean?" Peridot asked, now beginning to look around too.

"Uh, who are you guys talking to?" Connie asked the two gems, raising her brow at them as the two of them looked around the room.

Almost instantly, the two gems whirled around to face the human girl. They narrowed their eyes, a bit confused. "Wait, you can't hear it?" Peridot asked, adjusting her visors.

Connie blinked. "Hear what?"

"Th-That VOICE!" Amethyst exclaimed, pointing up towards the ceiling.

Connie looked up, following Amethyst's finger. When the girl didn't see anything, she looked back over to the two gems and shrugged.

Peridot and Amethyst looked at eachother. "Wha. . .?"

As the two began to contemplate their sanity, Steven picked Lunar up, as well as his packed duffle bag, and began to make his way down stairs; the others following closely behind, still confused by his sudden change in mood.

"Garnet? Garnet!" As if on cue, the fusion appeared on the warp pad in front of Steven. Her stoic expression was still on her face, as always, and she had her arms crossed. "Yes, Steven?"

Steven grinned. "Could you take care of Lunar for me? I have an errand to run," he said, holding the baby up.

Lunar giggled and clapped his hands, reaching out towards the fusion. "Square mom!"

Garnet smiled and removed her visors. "Of course, Steven," she took ahold of Lunar and cradled him in her arms; blinking all three of her eyes one at a time for the childs entertainment.

Steven smiled. "Great, thanks!" he said, climbing onto the warp pad. After double checking his bag, he looked back towards the others and waved; smiling brightly. "See you guys later!" And with that, he was gone.

Silence filled the room once the boy disappeared - aside from Lunar's babbling, of course. After awhile, however, Garnet chuckled and set Lunar atop her square-shaped head of hair.

"Alright, Cutie Pie II, let's go play."

To say that (Y/n) felt nervous was an understatement. As the gem sat in the middle of the small town of Watermelon Steven's, she couldn't help but think of the worst possible scenarios that could ensue. Like, what if the Crystal Gems came with Steven and bubbled her? What if Steven was just lying to her - playing with her feelings, just like Pink did. What if-

The gems' thoughts were soon cut off though, when she felt a tug on her furred cloak. Blinking, the (F/c)ette looked down. She gave a small smile once she saw that it was only one of the Watermelon Steven's.

"Hello," she gave a small wave, "did you need something?"

The Watermelon Steven nodded and tugged on her cloak again. The gem chuckled and stood up, dusting herself off. "Okay, okay," she moved a strand of hair out of her face, "I'm coming-WHOA!"

Suddenly, the Marriposa Gem was being pushed down a path. Her eyes widened and she turned around, only for her orbs to widen even more when she saw that more Watermelon Steven's had come up behind her.

"U-um, guys? What are you doing?" she asked, feeling a bit nervous.

The Watermelon Steven's stayed silent and only continued to push her forward down the random path. The one that had gotten her attention ealier had grabbed ahold of her hand, and was now pulling her forward.

They all continued to walk through the jungle for awhile, with (Y/n) attempting to get answers out of the Watermelon Steven's the whole time. Unfortunately, however, they all seemed to ignore her instead and only continued to push/pull her through the woods.

Eventually, however, they all came to a stop and backed away from the gem, who looked more confused than ever. "Guys. . .?" she furrowed her brows as the Watermelon Steven's began to chat among one another. A few of them gave eachother a thumbs up and/or a high five, which of course added to (Y/n)'s confusion.

What is going. . . on. . .

(Y/n)'s thoughts trailed off into nothing as she turned around, and she stopped.

(Y/n) stiffened. She stared. She rubbed her eyes, not believing what she was seeing, though she didn't exactly know why.

She was standing in front of the warp pad.

"You all. . ." (Y/n) slowly turned towards the Watermelon Steven's, raising her brows. ". . . brought me to the warp pad?" she questioned.

The Watermelon Steven's all stared at her for a bit, but then nodded and turned around; beginning to walk away.

(Y/n)'s eyes widened. "Wha-HEY!" she stepped forward and reached out to them, opening her mouth to question them further, but she was cut off by something:

The sound of the warp pad being activated.

A/n: Sorry if this chapter was short. I wanted to be mean and leave you all on a cliffhanger. But, don't worry: there will be Steven and (Y/n) fluff next chapter! ;)

Also, I wanted to ask you all something: would you prefer (Y/n) in a dress, or do you like her being more tomboyish? Please let me know, because I've been considering giving her a new outfit for when the story progresses further.
