Steven Universe: The Return [FanFiction English]

1. The Return

[Previously, on Steven Universe Future - Steven was disappointed that Pearl, Garnet and Amethyst were taking his departure in stride and acting as if they wouldn't miss him. Just as he is about to leave, he finally confronts the three and they admit that they have been holding their emotions back so as not to dissuade him from leaving. Steven finally moves on, knowing they will always remain a part of his life.]

[Pearl is seen sobbing uncontrollably as Steven starts the car and begins to drive off.]

Garnet: Bye, Steven!

Amethyst: Bye! Have fun!

Connie and Greg: Bye!

Pearl: *crying* Bye!

["Being Human" plays as Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl continue to wave after their departing friend. In front of the Big Donut the townspeople hold a banner saying "Bye Steven" & wave after him. Steven waves back at them as they yell their final goodbyes as he turns the corner, passing the car wash. Steven turns up the radio and begins to drive out of Beach City and towards his distant future.]

[Now, about a year after his departure, Steven Universe is back.]

【8:33 P.M.】

[The Dondai Supreme is seen driving down a road on the outskirts of Beach City with relaxing music playing, Steven is obviously driving it. He's on his way home after such a long time.]

Steven: *humming* Man, I'm almost there, I can't wait to get to the town. I haven't seen my friends and family in person for, like, a year. I'm so excited!

[Just then, Steven is illuminated by the headlights of an approaching car and immediately recognizes it.]

Steven: Oh, I know that car!

[Steven leans out of the car window.]

Steven: It's Jenny, Buck, and Sour Cream!

[Both cars stop next to each other.]

Steven: Yo, guys, what's up?

Jenny: Guys, look whos's back, Steven Universe himself!

Steven: What are you doing on the outskirts of Beach City?

Sour Cream: Well, ya know, man. Having a little fun.

Jenny: Yeah. We're also trying to cheer Buck up about what happened to his dad.

Steven: Huh? What happened to Mr. Dewey?

Buck: He had an accident at the Big Donut about a week ago, he's seriously hospitalized right now.

Steven: And why aren't you with him now?

Buck: I've been with him all week, and adding my studies. *sighs* That's got me pretty stressed out, so I'm going to use tonight to relax and not let the stress get to me, you know what I mean, don't ya?

Steven: I do. By the way, I have healing powers. If you want, I can go heal him.

Buck: I'd really appreciate it, dude. I'll wait for you tomorrow, okay?

Steven: Okay. See ya! *waves goodbye* Have fun, guys!

Jenny: Hold on a sec, Steven! Wouldn't you like some pizza? We've got plenty.

Steven: Sure, thanks.

【A few moments later.】

[Steven arrives in Beach City and drives through town, passing the car wash, the Big Donut and so on.]
