(Y/n). P.O.V

"I don't know what's wrong! He's not sick, quite healthy on the contrary and yet he complains of a 'burning head'!" Pearl fretted.

"Uh Pearl, we found blood!" Amethyst's voice was heard in the background.

"BLOOD?!" Pearl yelled into my ear. "Oh please hurry (y/n), we have no idea what to do!" I sighed.

"I'll be there in a second."

I raced down the stairs and pulled on my shoes before jogging towards the home of the Crystal Gems.

"STEVEN STOP TOUCHING YOUR HEAD!" Pearl screeched like the bird mom she was.

I pushed open the door and entered the building to find Pearl jump at me. My smaller frame struggled to keep balance.

"Please help! Is he going to die?!" She cried.

"I highly doubt that." Peridot's voice called.

"Hello Peridot, why are you here?" I asked puzzled.

"Same reason as you- Pearl's overreaction to this." She dragged Steven over.

I walked towards him and knelt down. "Hey Steven, how's your head?" I asked him.

"Annoying." He mumbled. I frowned.

"Why so-" I looked at Peridot who was scratching her head then turned to Steven who did the same then revealed his bloody finger tips.

"AGH STEVEN!" Pearl fretted.

"Ok Steven, is your head itchy?" I asked, standing up.

"Yeah..." he mumbled.

"Ok that explains the blood." I pointed out.

"What? How?" Pearl asked.

"He's been scratching his head a lot, therefore he scratched the scalp." I said.

"But why?" Amethyst said. Peridot walked over.

"I fear the scratching is contagious." She mumbled.

"I'm afraid you're right..." Garnet walked over and handed me an elastic hair tie, probably knowing where we were headed.

I tied my hair up and retrieved Steven's phone. "All of you tie your hair back except Peridot and Steven... I need to call Connie's mom."

"STEVEN'S SICK?!" Pearl freaked out.

"I'm here to." Peridot added.

"And Peridot." Pearl said.

I flipped through Steven's contacts as Garnet placed two stools in the middle of the floor. The floor was covered with a plastic sheet and two buckets where filled with water.

"Garnet?" Amethyst asked.

"It's ok you two... Peridot, Steven, sit on these." Garnet instructed as Connie answered the phone.

"Hello? Connie speaking!" She chirped.

"Connie? It's me, (y/n)." I said.

"(Y/n)? Why are you on Steven's phone? Is he okay?" She asked.

"Yeah he's fine but uh... we may need to borrow your mom... Steven has lice. And Peridot I suspect."

"Nasty... i'll tell my mom to being the lice kit to." She said before bidding me good bye.

"Lice? What's lice?" Pearl asked.

"A pest that lives in human hair, causes itching when they bite and are hard to get rid of especially when they lay more eggs."
