"Hey mom, can I go to Steven's house today?"
"If it's okay with his... aunts? Sure you can."
"Thanks mom!"
The night when I cut myself had been bad. But I don't think I'll do it again. I felt like I was going to get myself in trouble, and it didn't seem right. Maybe I'm invisible, but scars aren't.
I blamed the scar on a stray cat. It was Saturday, so of course, I didn't have school.
I call Steven's house.
Ring... Ring... click
"Hey Connie!" Steven's voice sounds like a bell.
"Hi Steven! Can I come over today?"
"Hold on, let me ask Garnet.... Garnet, can Connie come over?
"...She says yes!"
"Great, I'm on my way," I chirp.
"So can you go?" Mom asks.
"Yep! But can you give me a ride?"

~Fancy time skip~

"So you guys still haven't found Peridot?"
"No. But Garnet's looking for her right now."
"Oh. I hope you find her."
I don't really know what's up with me today. I just feel so happy! Maybe it's Steven. Maybe I accidentally ate too much ice cream!
Oh crap, Steven's been talking this whole time!
"...With the whole Malachite thing. I wish... Uh, Connie? You're zoning out again. What's distracting you?"
"Oh, nothing? I'm just, uh, tired... Yeah, I'm tired."
"You don't seem tired. You're tapping your foo-"
"Amethyst! Give me my sword back!"
"Again with the sword thing? I thought we got over that months ago!"
"Well, you took one again!"
"Pearl, I already told you! They..."
Amethyst and Pearl were in some argument. They walked through Steven's room and outside.
"Do they fight a lot?" I wonder.
"Yeah, but only when Garnet's not here to distract them. They're not really angry," Steven giggles.
"So what was that you were saying earlier?"
"Oh..." Steven looks out the window. "I wish Malachite was unfused. I wish Lapis was here. I miss her."
"What about the other one? Her name is Jasper, right?"
"I don't like her and Peridot very much. But maybe if I could show them that Earth is a great place, maybe they'll be nicer."
"I thought Lapis didn't want to stay here either?" I question Steven's thinking as I say this. What does Earth have to do with friendliness? I'm sure the kids at my school like the earth, but they don't want to be kind to me.
"Well, no. But she's nice. And I don't know if she wants to go back to Homeworld now."
"That is a thought," I say, looking outside. "Let's go sit on the beach."

Yay! I updated! Someone else asked so I figured, hey, people wanna read. Let's give writing another shot! I wanted to do a little more with Steven this time. I also wanted to give Connie a nice day. Herc out!
