My computer warned me of a hard disk failure...don't have the money right now to get a new laptop so I'm not sure what I'll do.

I might try replying to things on mobile, so once I get some time I'll see if I can make that work out for me.

Andesine felt her heart skip a beat when her Diamond call her, “her Andesine”. Oh it felt like the old days so many millennia ago. Andesine couldn’t help but to feel her cheeks warm up and feel a little startled at such a kind words. 

She slowly and for a brief moment, hesitantly took his hand. Was this alright? Was she truly worthy to be touching her Diamond’s hand. “I-I’m touching my Steven’s hand..” He murmured to herself. 

Never in a million, trillion years could she think she would be offered such a close and personal experience. Was this paradise? “A-Are you sure? This isn’t very proper for someone of your illustriousness to be so formal with a mere Andesine such as myself.” She was truly choking back how much of an ego boost this was to her. 

She was pulled up the steps to this tiny shack he called his home. “As you wish, my Steven.”

     “I’m sure!”

      “And I dunno what...illustrious...means, but I’m not trying to be formal.”

      He holds onto her hand until they reach the front door, which he swings open with enough bravado to suggest it kind of was like a palace, to him. He wanted to prove he was proud of his home, no matter what it might look like from an aristocratic point of view.

      “This is where I live with Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl--but they live in the temple part.” he explains. “I think Peridot and Lapis might stay, too. But anyone can come come over and visit whenever they want!”

      Steven runs in, standing underneath the archway holding the portrait of Rose Quartz.

      “I...think so.”

      There’s a beat. The previous enthusiasm melts off his face, and he returns to his spot on the bench. He knows he remembers, but now Blackstar has him second-guessing it! After all, if he didn’t recall everything from within a fusion...would he even know if he didn’t?

      “Or like, what if we get stuck and then the seat’s too small--or we’re so tall we block the screen! Then if we have to sit in the front, everyone’s going to be so upset.” he looks at her. “Do you think we should try anyway?”

       “That’s right!  ‘Cause Dogcopter would never approve of piracy!  He may be half dog half helicopter, but even he is a law abiding citizen!”  Chimed the monochrome-colored gem. But she was slumped on the bench, what in the world could they do?  If even a 5,000+ year old alien couldn’t get into the movie, how would they get in?

       “Yeah, so we could fuse, that’d make us taller!”  Black Star first suggested, but then.. a concern came to mind.  “Wait, would we even be able to watch it though?  Like.. ‘cause we’re a new person, would we even remember the movie?”

💧Lapis jumped a bit when they heard the door slam, immediately looking back at the other with owlishly large eyes before they realized who it was. A soft sigh left her as she relaxed, turning her gaze back towards the stars. She didn’t want Steven to see the look on her face.

“…I appreciate that your worried about me Steven…       But I promise I’m okay.           And I just feel… trapped inside you know?”

      He could hardly stand to wait near the door--bare feet slap against the ground as he scuttles up to the blue Gem, his arms resting against the railing. For a long moment he tries to look at her face, before following her gaze upwards.

      “Weeell, we don’t have to lock the door.” he says with a weak chuckle, as if this would solve everything. “I just don’t want you to feel left out.”

Connie was in a panic as she looked between the gem and the human. What was she going to do? She could run and face the pain and the idea of getting hit once more. She knew that would be stupid of her to do, but…did she really have an option? She could get Steven to him gem quickly if she did run. She tried to think. She grabbed the gems hand. “Come with me! Please!” She begged the burning sensation still shooting pain all over her body, but she couldn’t think about that right now! She had to think about Steven!

It didn’t fight.

After all, it wanted the same thing she did.

So the pink projection allowed her to guide it towards the other, ignoring White Diamond’s cries of protest. She wasn’t important. Becoming whole was important.

And the closer it came to reuniting with Steven, the more it realized Connie was important, too.

      “This is totally uncalled for!”  Black Star exclaimed, banging a tiny grey fist on the counter.  “I fought in a war to protect the human race from my previously evil overlords, not cool!”  Luckily Steven dragged her off before things got too heated.  No need to cause a scene, Black Star!  Now the two of them were seated on a bench near the beach, the grey gem sighing.

     “Clearly, she doesn’t know who we are” she huffled, brows furrowed into a pout.  “We gotta see that movie Steven, without pirating it!  Because your laptop would very likely get a virus.  Got any ideas?”

      ��Aw, I couldn’t do that to Dogcopter,” he says simply, watching the clouds. “He doesn’t deserve that.”

      Why is he so...emotional? 

      Steven slumped over, his cheeks squished between his fists as he rested over his knees. He didn’t want to take it as far as feeling angry over being turned away, but it definitely gave him that twisty feeling deep in his gut. It was disappointment, or maybe the first pangs of hunger.

      “We’re gonna get those tickets.” he slid off the bench with determination, stars in his eyes. “We just have to be BIGGER!”

“If that’s what satisfies you, my Steven.” Andesine nodded with a tight-lipped, polite smile. She was acting as stiff and awkward around him. After all, she still saw the boy as Her Diamond and acting so casually like they were equals was unheard of.

But she was by her Diamond’s side. And that’s all Andesine could ask for these last thousand years. The mere thought of that lit a warmth in her chest and she smiled a bit more genuinely. But then her brow furrowed in curiosity.

“..what is sleep? And family? You mean the other Diamonds?”

      ‘ My Steven. ’ 

      . . . That wasn’t very equal rights of her! 

      “Sleeping is like, uh...and family, my family is like, um.”

      It wouldn't be easy for the Gems undo thousands of years of hierarchical programming. Of course they would be confused! Here was their Diamond, back from obliteration--her gem in one piece, still very much alive...but not the same as before.

      “Oh, my dear Andesine, asking so many questions of a single Stevie.” he offered his hand to her as they approached the steps, determined to break down the social ladder. “C’mon, I’ll show you!”

      Steven’s content to listen to her for a time, but he also feels like it’s dishonest to not announce his approach. This was something he wasn’t supposed to hear. So he shuts the door behind him a little harder than he usually would for this time of night, just to make sure she hears him.

      “I like your song,” he eventually blurts out, wringing his hands. “But...”

It sounded kind of sad, he thinks.

      “Don’t you wanna come inside?”

Connie gasped as the burning light finally let her out of its grip. She looked up and the gem of Steven and had tears roll down her face. “St-Steven…” She said as she stood and then placed a hand on the gems shoulder. “We have to go to Steven.” She said as tears rolled from her eyes. “Q-Quickly.” She spoke still in pain from the burning she felt from white diamonds hit to her. She didn’t think anything that hurt a gem would harm her. Feeling the pain of whites heat however…she quickly learned this wasn’t the case. 

      At the touch, Gem Steven turned it’s head to face her. It was blank and unfazed by her pain, lacking the heart needed to form a full personality. 

      It moved away from her toward recompletion. 

“Connie! Connie, are you okay?”

      The human half continued to cry out, arms reaching with a desperation like that of a shard, but without the strength necessary to pull himself back together. Was she okay? And would his other self heal her if she wasn’t? What if White Diamond attacked again? Humans couldn’t poof. But as he’d learned from his time in Lars’ body, they could be possessed.

Rebecca sugar really out did herself this time in battle of heart and mind this is one of the best scenes

      “But I’m fourteen!”

      “And she’s like, thousands of years old! Can’t she be my mom? Or at least a cool aunt or big sister or something?”

      Despite his protests, the lady at the ticket counter wasn’t having it...they just didn’t look old enough. In a controversial move, Dogcopter 4: All Dogs Go to War had its rating bumped up to PG-13 for its subject matter. Apparently, any movie where the dog might die is considered inappropriate for children.

      “O-Oh, um...”

     R a d i a n t .

      There it was again, another term derived from worship of the Diamond Authority. Maybe in another context, he could find warmth in it as a term of endearment, but here he felt nothing of the sort. His face burned, reaching to the tip of his ears--he didn’t want to be their Diamond, he wanted to be their equal...their friend.

      “A home doesn’t have to be flashy or extravagant.” he explains to her, a hand pressed to his face. “It has a roof...a place for me to sleep, and my family. That’s all it needs, really.”

@viinculum

“M-My Diamond–err–my Steven,” When she returned to Earth after millennia  of serving Yellow Diamond’s court to serve her one true Diamond, she didn’t expect so much oddities.

Pink Diamond’s form was so small and squishy. The defensiveness weapons of Earth were laughable and primitive. And where she thought was Pink’s palace was just…a shack.

“Are you sure this home is suitable for someone as radiant as yourself?” She looked down to the young boy with a nervous, unsure smile. 

[viinculum]

“--No! NO, please!”

Unwhole and broken, Steven’s body hit the floor. 

He was weak. 

It was if he was feeling the complete, unadulterated pull of gravity for the first time in his entire life--what was left of his life, he thinks in a rush. His thoughts were fragmented, and witnessing his best friend’s pain from two perspectives made it twice as hard to bear. As he pushed his face up from the cold floor, the Body watched as the Gem came to her rescue, blocking the burst of light from harming her any further.

Connie gasped and ran over in front of Steven seeing the bright white lights coming to her friend. “NOOOOOO” She screamed and shoved the raven haired boy out of the way. The light from white diamond hitting her as she screamed. It was burning! She wasn’t a gem thought she she didn’t understand why this would hurt her!

“STEVEN!” She cried out.

“Oh! Yeah, we can totally bake. Just, lemme grab my recipe, I haven’t made it in a while.”

More like, he hasn’t made it since that potluck. It just made him think about how he ditched, and how he tossed a perfectly good ube roll cake. Man, he’s really gotta get over that, especially with all the change that’s been going on. Who knows what’s gonna happen next, right? But hey. Grabbing his recipe gave him an excuse to think in silence for a moment. Even if it was… a rather short moment.

“Here, got it. I think I still have all the ingredients.”

      “Whoop, whoop!”

      A smile spreads across Steven’s face, wide and toothy--just like it should be, as he follows the other into the kitchen. He’s glad to know this aspect of Lars now. As much as he’s tried in the past, he really not sure what else he likes to do for fun...at least, when he’s not putting on a front.

      “Y’know,” he says, pulling himself up into a chair. “Have you thought about making this for the Big Doughnut? I’m sure there’s a lot of people in Beach City that would love it, it’s totally cool! I know it’s not, like, a doughnut...but muffins and bagels aren’t either, and you guys have those.”
