Being Human

7. Serious Steven

We've hit 20k in reads already :D 

Steven and the Crystal Gems were at Funland preparing to ride The Teacups ride in Beach City Funland, operated by Mr. Smiley.

"Get ready, Steven. This is gonna be intense." Garnet says.

"I'm ready!" Steven cheers.

Mr. Smiley starts up the ride, with Pearl and Amethyst, sleeping, in one cup, and Garnet and Steven in the other cup

Pearl was holding a teapot in her hand. "I misunderstood the point of this ride."

"This is fun, Steven." Garnet says but Steven looked nauseated.

"I think... I need to get off this ride now!" Steven says before he jumps off the ride.

"Steven, no!" Garnet calls out. Steven falls onto Mr. Smiley, breaking the lever to the ride. The ride starts to spin out of control and flings all of the cups off the ride, causing mass destruction. Mr. Smiley then grabs Steven off the ground by his shirt.

"Steven! You are banned from all the rides! Forever!"

It was now 2 weeks later and Y/n was with  the Crystal Gems warping through a warp stream. "Pay attention Y/n, Steven, this is going to be your first serious mission. You both need to be ready." Garnet says to the two and Y/n nods.

Steven however is warping upside-down excitedly. "Yes! I'm ready, I'm so ready!" 

"Steven, come on, you're gonna make yourself sick." Pear says as she turns Steven upright but gets hit in the eye by Steven's ukulele and scoffs. "Why did you bring that?" She asks him.

"I don't know! I was excited, and i-it's mine, and I like it!" Steven says as the ukulele starts floating away upwards and Steven swims after it.

"Steven get back here!" Pearl calls out to him. "You could get seriously..." but she is interrupted as The Gems and Y/n warp safely onto a Warp Pad in the middle of a field of giant strawberries.    " ...hurt!" Pearl finishes.

Steven warps several feet into the air and several yards away from the Warp Pad, and falls into the strawberry field, groaning in pain.

"Steven!" Pearl cries worried. "Are you...??"

Steven gets up. "I-I'm fine! I'm good. I'm just gooey." Steven finds himself covered in strawberry juice and licks his arm. He then sees a swarm of butterflies surrounding him, and they cling onto his face and arms. "Aaaah! Aah! They're in my eyes!" He cries as he runs around while frantically yelling and trips over.

Y/n calmly swats the butterflies away from Steven now as he offers him a hand. "They're just butterflies, Steven." Y/n reassures him.

Steven takes Y/n's hand and gets up and laughing sheepishly. "Well, they looked a lot bigger when they were on my eyeballs."

Amethyst just laughs. "Steven, you're a riot!"

"I'm suddenly having second thoughts about bringing Steven and Y/n on this mission." Pearl says to Garnet.

Garnet puts her palm on Pearl's shoulder. "Shh. Just look at them." She says as the two look at Y/n and Steven laughing together about something. "Now let's go recover the gemstone."

The group begin walking through the strawberry field, littered with swords stuck in the ground. "Unbelievable." Pearl says in awe as she looks around. "This was once a Gem battlefield, now it's wild strawberries as far as the eye can see!" She twirls in joy. "Oh, that's what I love about the Earth! Maybe this will be a light mission after all." Garnet comes to a halt in front and Pearl bumps into her. "Oomph."
