"Garnet!" Pearl shrieked, producing her spear "What's going on?"
Glancing towards us as she slid backwards, Garnet didn't reply, jumping up to pummel the monster again.
"Hey! Leave some for me!" Shouted Amethyst in a playful tone as she rolled out. I could see that Yellow was taken back by her happy disposition.
"You two stay here, we'll sort it out." Pearl turned to Steven "Make sure D-6 is safe. Put the TV on or something."
We were ushered inside by a panicked Steven, who frantically search for the TV remote.
"What's going on?" D-6 asked, rubbing his eyes and smiling.
"We're watching some TV" Steven replied, turning on the box. We sat there and watched, Yellow and D-6 still mesmerised by the screen. It was the normal late night TV; teleshopping for cheap jewellery and garden supplies, re-runs of pawning shows and ice-road truckers. After flicking through the channels for a few minutes, Steven settled on a movie.
"What's it about" D-6 asked, still hypnotised by the screen.
"Oh, well, it's about this boy who wants to learn how to sword fight and he has to defeat this evil master" Steven explained "I haven't seen it in years, last time I watched it with Pearl. She didn't like it that much"
"I mean obviously, his stance is off, in a real duel he would fall. And what are these moves? Amateur work." Yellow Pearl interrupted "No good Pearl would approve of this style of fighting!"
"That's exactly what she said" Laughed Steven.
Yellow Pearl sat next to me, her hand clenched around mine, tightening gradually. Her golden eye flicked back and forth to see my reaction, so I squeezed back. Her face glowed a rosy red with surprise before she pulled it away quickly. We sat in silence, facing the advertisement that shone out from the screen in front of us.
One ad however, seemed to catch Yellow Pearl's attention. It was an advert for Miss. Delmarva - what seemed to be one of those modelling pageants.
"Y/N!" She whispered to me in her snide, yet excited tone. "You didn't tell me about these. I can be a model that easily?"
"Yeah, you just have to enter" I whispered back to her with a smile. "Then, the panel will choose who gets to be Miss Delmarva. There's one for practically everywhere."
Her face turn quizzical for a second before turning to her familiar smug smile.
"So, if I were to win Miss. Delmarva - and let's be honest, I obviously would - I could just move to the next state over and win there as well? And, after I've done that, I'll move elsewhere and win there."
"Sounds like you're trying to become queen of the modelling world" Steven commented as he looked over at her. Yellow Pearl looked at me with a mischievous smile.
"Maybe.. We'll just have to wait and see"
AUTHOR'S NOTE:
Hi!! I'm very sorry that I took so long to upload this episode! I'm going to be honest, I kind of lost intrest in Steven Universe a while ago, and I've had this chapter ready for a while and forgotten to publish it. Hopefully now that my time management skills are a little bit better I can get an episode out at some point, but there's no promises on when that will be. Also as some of you know, I have a webcomic now called Halycon, so if that's something you think you'd be intrested in, please check it out :)
