Since it is the last chapter before Christmas I thought I would say an early Merry Christmas to you all!

It was near the end of the year and Y/n was with Steven and Greg who were chatting about fireworks and walking down the street towards the U-Stor, carrying a cardboard cut of Greg.

"And I really like the ones that shoot up kind of spirally with the long tails." Steven says to his dad and Y/n.

"Steven, I'm slipping." Greg suddenly says and Steven looks at his end of the cut out. "Hold that end up a little more."

"Oh, sorry." Steven says as Y/n helps him lift his end up more.

"That's okay. I'm not sure the "Summer Wax Special" sign was that effective anyway. But I can't bring myself to throw myself out. Might as well store it for the rest of the winter." Greg says.

"So, which firework is your favorite, Y/n?" Steven asks.

"Hmm." Y/n thinks "I quite like the big shell ones." Y/n answers.

"Oh yeah, Those ones are really big and loud." Steven says impressed. "What about you dad?" He then asks.

"Oh. Uh, I don't know. I just like watching them together with you." Greg says truthfully.

Steven blushes happily. "Yeah, me too! I can't wait for New Year's Eve tomorrow. It feels like I've waited a whole year!"

"Well, you feel that way for a reason." Greg starts to say as he, Steven and Y/n arrive at the U-Stor. Greg opens his storage unit and sees that it is filled to the brim with all sort of belongings and junk. He then holds up a coil of hose and tries to see where it can fit. He places it around the neck of a flamingo ornament in the front, and the junk pile rumbles and spills out of the storage unit.

"Woah!" Steven and Y/n says together as they step back.

Greg looks at the junk now. "I haven't really cleared this place out since your mom..." Greg starts but he coughs to cover himself from having to talk about it. "Maybe this is good timing! A new year coming up... I should just get rid of all this stuff."

"A fresh start is always good." Y/n comments.

Steven picks up a jacket and a sweater from the pile. "I could take these off your hands." He says to his dad.

Greg chuckles. "That's a start, but I'll need a little more help than that and this guy's not gonna do it." Greg says as he points to the cardboard Greg and scratches his head. "Who would organize a mess this big though?"

"Ah! I know just the Gem!" Steven cries and he runs off leaving Y/n and Greg behind.

Greg and Y/n watch Steven go as they then turn back to the storage unit.
