Chapter 35: Abduction

Your POV

I was doing my routine at the beach while Steven is running towards his mailbox on the beach, while the Crystal Gems are seen playing in the sand.

Steven:♪ Hey Mister Postman, bring me a post! Bring me the post that I love the most. ♪

Steven opens his mailbox, finding nothing inside.

Steven: Dagnabbit!

Y/N: Oi! Watch your mouth!

Amethyst: Yo. No package yet?

Amethyst approaches Steven, dragging along a cooler filled with cans.

Steven: No package, yet. I definitely ordered a pair of khakis from "The Distinguished Boy". They should have arrived by now. I'm a distinguished boy, Amethyst. Don't I deserve some distinguished khakis?

Y/N: Okay I didn't get what you said.

Amethyst: Aw, want one of these instead? *offers a can to Steven*

Steven: No, thanks. *looks at the cliff corner* Any second now.

Steven jumps around the corner of the cliff and strikes a pose.

Steven: Hey Mister Postman, bring me a post!

There is still no one in sight.

Steven: Consarn it! *walks back, disappointed* Still no Jamie, I don't understand. He's usually so punctual. *sighs and moans*

Amethyst sips from a can, when she notices a disappointed Steven.

Steven: Bring me a post...

Amethyst: Hey, you shouldn't have to waste your whole day for some thing in the mail. *holds out a can, revealing to be canned beans* Take some of these magic beans to town and trade it for a donut.

Y/N: For the first time you said sonething that I would approve.

Steven: You've been drinking... Beans?

Y/N: What the heck?

Amethyst: They're good for the heart.

Steven: Unfortunately, I know from experience that the Big Donut does not accept beans as currency. But, you'd still wait for Jamie while I got us some donuts?

Y/N: I'm coming with you. I wanna buy something.

Amethyst: Sure. Why not? *opens the canned beans* We'll hold down the fort while you're gone.

Pearl: Amethyst! Steven! Look! We're building a tiny house, for crabs!

Garnet: Welcome to your new home.

Pearl reveals a big sandcastle and Garnet places two blue crabs on the sandcastle.

Pearl: Oh, they like it.

Y/N: That's cute!

Pearl and Garnet chuckles in joy, and Steven giggles.

Steven: Thanks Amethyst. *runs off*

Amethyst: No prob! Just bring me back a bear claw!

Y/N: No you're getting a raptor claw instead.

Amethyst: Awesome!

Scene change The Big Donut

Steven hums a tune while I was listening to my tunes. Greg bought me a portable music player. We skipped over to the Big Donut, when we passed by Sour Cream, holding a stack of flyers and looking rather sad.

Y/N: Morning Sour Cream.

Steven: Good morning Sour Cream! Putting a rave tonight?

Sour Cream: Oh, the flyers? No, it's Onion.

Sour Cream holds up a flyer, revealing a "Wanted" poster of Onion, but instead with "Missing" written over in red marker. What did the kid do to be wanted?

Sour Cream: He's been missing for a couple of days now. My mom and Yellow-dad are starting to get worried. You haven't seen him around lately, have you?

Steven: No. Have you checked his favorite hiding spot in the woods?

Sour Cream: Sure did.

Steven: What about inside the vending machine at Funland?

Sour Cream: No luck. Blew a dollar checking it too.

Y/N: Bummer.

Steven: What about that top secret room inside your house?

Sour Cream: You mean his office? Of course.

Steven: Hmm..

Sour Cream: Meh. I'm sure he's fine. If he's anything like me when I was a kid, he's probably... I dunno.. raving in a friend's backyard. Anyway, I better hang the rest of these up. Can you make sure Lars and Sadie get one of these? I wanted to hang one on the Big Donut but it's closed.

Steven:...Closed?

Y/N: Something's......not right.

Steven runs to the Big Donut and tries to open the door forcefully while I was wondering what's happening. Lars wasn't there for the party, Jamie hasn't made a single contact with anyone, and Onion is God knows where.

Steven: Lars? SAAADIIIEE! *peeks into the shop*

Steven peeks into the shop, finding the lights inside are turned off. We then walked around to the back of the shop.

Steven: They have to be here. I know what you guys are doing. You guys are watching scary movies in the break room like you're not suppose be.

Y/N: So they like watching horror?

Steven tries to forcefully open the back door.

Steven: Open up! I! Want! A donut!

The door is suddenly opened by Barbara from the inside.

Barbara: Hey, you trying to break in or something?

Steven: Barb! Uh, no! I-I was looking for Lars and Sadie, but they're not back here. Uh, how did you get in?

Barbara: Well, what kind of mother would I be if I didn't make a copy of all my daughter's keys?!

Y/N: Okay one: That is weird and two: who are you?

Barbara: I'm Sadie's mom. And you must be Painite?

Y/N: Yeah? But you can call me
Y/N

Barbara: I know. Sadie told me so much about you. *gets closer to me and whispers* She may have a huge crush on you.

Y/N: *blushes* Uhhhhhhh...what?

Scene change inside The Big Donut

Steven and Barbara enters the dark break room of the Big Donut.

Barbara: I only came over to drop off Sadie's lunch. She wasn't home last night so I figured I'd bring it here. But the place was completely empty. Maybe its some baker's holiday. Certainly not a federal one.

Steven: Sadie never came home last night?

Barbara: Ehhh She's an adult. Probably just snuck off for another island adventure with her boyfriend.

Steven: That couldn't be, they were going to go to party together but.. Lars never showed. And when me and Sadie left, she said she was going home. And now Sour Cream is looking everywhere for Onion. And I was expecting a package today from Jamie but he... He never delivered it.

Barbara: A package? You mean one about "yay" big, two pounds, maybe 4 ounces?

Steven: *gasps* My distinguished khakis! Did you see Jamie with them?

Barbara: I did this morning. Just before sending him off to your place.

Y/N: Barb... This might be serious. People are mysteriously dissapearing.

Steven and Barbara look at each other with deep concerns.

Scene change outside The Big Donut

Steven: I'll see if I can find anyone on the boardwalk.

Barbara: I'll go check doorsteps for piled up packages, then we'll know if anyone else is missing. *shouts out loud* Sadie! Don't worry, honey! *runs off* Mama's coming for you, baby girl!

Steven:...Good luck.

Y/N: I'll go tell the gems. Go get Connie!

I ran back to the Beach House leaving Steven to himself.

Scene change Beach City Boardwalk

Stecen's POV

Steven walks along the quiet boardwalk, deep in thought.

Steven: Jamie... Onion... Lars... Sadie?... Maybe they all are on vacation? No, Steven. *sighs* Whatever the case, it's up to me to find them.

Scene change Funland Arcade

Steven starts calling out loud in front of the arcade

Steven: Jamie! Onion! Lars! Sadie!

Teens of Rage Announcer: Awaiting new challengers to validate me.

Punch Buddy: Somebody, punch me! Please.

Steven stares in unrest at the desolated arcade. He then grabs himself a bag of Chaaaaps from a vending machine.

Steven: Well, Sour Cream was right. Onion wasn't in the vending machine. And neither was anybody else. *eats a chip*

???: Are you "My Dad"?

Steven looks down and spots a small blue figure, with a teardrop gem on her face, in front of him.

Steven: *screams in fright* A Gem!

Teardrop Gem: Are you, "My Dad"? I need to find "My Dad."

Steven: N-No, I- I'm not.

The teardrop Gem groans and flies away.

Steven: Wha- W-Wait! Don't leave me with another enigma!

Steven chases the teardrop Gem around the corner, only to find that she has disappeared.

Scene change Beach House

Your POV

Steven begins describing the teardrop Gem he saw, while the Gems and Connie attempt to illustrate his description. I already know who the gem is. Fuck what is she doing here? She's after me? I'll keep my mouth shut for now.

Steven: And the gem was under her eye. My right, her left. And wings, and, yeah...

The Gems and Connie finish their illustrations and they all show them to Steven. Connie's illustration is anime-esque, of a bust of the teardrop Gem.

Connie: I think I made one eye bigger than the other.

Amethyst's illustration is free-form, appearing to be a winged horse.

Y/N: That didn't look like any of the description.

Amethyst: I was going for a feeling.

Pearl's illustration is extremely detailed, looking almost like Lapis Lazuli.

Pearl: Honestly, I can't even draw a circle. *chuckles sheepishly*

Y/N: Are you kidding me Pearl?

Garnet's illustration is simple, looking like...

Steven: Okay Garnet, you just drew yourself.

Garnet: Uh, I like me.

Steven: Well, anyway. I think Connie was the closest.

Connie: Thanks!

Pearl: This was a waste of time. *crumples her illustration in her hand* We should be preparing for a fight. *grabs Connie's illustration* Whoever this is, she's from Homeworld. She's gotta be here for us.

Y/N: Or me.

Steven: She's not though. She said, she's looking for her Dad.

The Gems: What?

Pearl: Her Dad?

Y/N: This doesn't make sense

Steven: There are all these people missing. Maybe her Dad's gone missing too.

Amethyst: But Gems don't have Dads!

Pearl: Why would she be looking for her father?

Y/N: Beats us Pearl.

Connie: Steven's a Gem, and Steven has a Dad.

Garnet: There are no other Gems like Steven.

Connie: Are you sure?

Everyone stares at Connie in silence.

Garnet: We got to get to the bottom of this. We should split up, and investigate.

Steven: *gasps* Ruby and Sapphire!

Garnet: Uh, no. I meant split into teams.

Steven: Ooohh... right. Garnet with yourself, Pearl with Amethyst, and Connie and Y/N with me. Let's go!

Scene change Beach City

Steven and Connie begin wandering the empty streets of Beach City.

Steven: Connie, do you really think there could be another Gem like me?

Connie: Well... You know more about Gems than I do, but it couldn't be impossible. You exist.

Steven: Hmm.. She didn't look half human though. She was blue and... had wings. What about you Y/N?

Y/N: Well it might be possible that there might be more hybrids like you.

Connie: Well, what if she's adopted? What if, she crash-landed in the big city and she was taken in by a lonely millionaire with a heart of gold?

Steven: And a house of gold.

Connie: But one day, he went on a business trip to Beach City, and he never came home.

Steven: I... guess I'd watch movie of that.

Connie: Or read the book. Or neither, 'cause it could be reality, Steven.

Y/N: If there's a book or a movie about it I'm reading it or watching it.

Steven: You really think so?

Connie: Hey, the only way to know is find out.

Steven: Yeah!

Y/N: Come on you two. Let's check the forest.

Scene change Forest

Me, Steven and Connie enter the forest towards Onion's hiding spot. Connie picks up a fallen leaf, crumples it in her hand and holds it up in the air, letting the wind blow it off her hand.

Connie: Yup, there's wind.

Y/N: And it's silent.......way too silent.

Steven: Man... I just feel like I was here with Onion and all his friends. Where is he? Poor Sour Cream missing his brother, and Barb missing her daughter, and her mailman. And this new Gem missing her dad! I know what it's like to have your dad taken away. She must be so scared.

Y/N: Riiiiggght...

Connie: But you got your dad back. And you'll solve this too. We'll solve this, together.

Steven: Thanks, Connie. *smiles at Connie, and she smiles back* Lets turn this woods upside down.

The three of began searching through the forest

Steven: Onion! Lars! Jamie! *looks inside a fallen log* You in here delivering packages to some mail boxes?

The teardrop Gem from before then appears on a tree beside Connie. Fuck it really is her.

Connie: Steven! It's the Gem!

Steven: *pops out of the fallen log* What?

Connie: She looks just like my drawing. Come on! You don't have to be afraid, we'll help you. Jump down into my arms, my body will break your fall.

Aquamarine: Are you "My Dad"?

Connie: What? Uh- no, I'm not your dad, but we can help you find your dad.

Aquamarine: I'm not looking for "Your Dad", I'm looking for "My Dad." I need to find "My Dad."
Connie: Riiight, well, we'll... help you.

Steven: Connie! *struggles to get out of the fallen log* Connie, wait! Be careful.

Aquamarine: Connie. Are you Connie?

Connie: Yes, I'm Connie. Me Connie, Connie friend.

Y/N: Connie stay away from her!

Connie: Huh?

Aquamarine: *chuckles and flies off* Topaz! I found one! I found one! I found a Connie!

Connie: Steven?

Steven: Connie!

Steven continue to struggle, trying to get out of the fallen log, when the ground begins to tremble. Connie draws her sword and I summoned my blades as a large yellow Gem approaches, with the missing humans merged and struggling inside them. It's......all of the missing people.

Connie: Another Gem! She... She has everyone.

Steven: Let them go!

Topaz unfuses, separating into two smaller Topazes, while still holding onto the missing humans. I ran towards the two Topazes and tried to land a hit on them but they just evaded and ran past me. Geez their fast for their size.

The Topazes charge towards Connie and hold hands. Before Connie can even do anything, the Topazes fuse back together with Connie in between, merging her in their body as well.

Steven: Connie!

Y/N: You better let them go Aquamarine!

Steven finally manages to break free from the fallen log and runs towards Topaz.

Aquamarine: *perches on top of Topaz* Look at those organics squirming around.

Steven: Give me back my friends! *summons his shield*

Aquamarine: Don't bother listening to that "Steven", he's not "My Dad".

Then Aquamarine takes off her hair bow, turning it into a small wand. She fires a tractor beam at Steven and hurls him into a tree. I was about to punch her when she noticed me and threw me across the forest breaking the treeline.

Aquamarine: Now, all we need is "My Dad" and we're out of here!

Steven weakly gets up and attempts to reach out to the Gems, with a ringing in his ears.

Aquamarine: Can't believe they wasted an Aquamarine on a job like this. It's so easy you could've done it yourself, Topaz.

Aquamarine chuckles hysterically as she leaves the forest on top of Topaz.

Steven: No... You... can't... take them...

Steven closes his eyes, as his consciousness fades away.

And Finished.

Okay this is one of the long awaited chapters by one of my followers, and I hope they like it.

I have to tell you something some idiot asked me (I'm not gonna say who it is since you don't know who) why I kept writing stories. I don't get any profit from it so why do it? And he said "If I were you I'd forget about that shit" who the hell does he think he is?

I make my stories because I don't want profit. I want people to enjoy the stories I made. Fuck him if that is what it's like to be a writer for him. He even told me to stop because this is not helping with the situation about the Corona Virus.

I am doing this to get their minds off of it. It helps because it can make a person forget about the worries. I am doing this to forget about your worries. I don't give a fuck wether he says that what I do is useless. I want you all to get your minds off the problems this 2020 by reading my stories.

I am already paid by all of your joy when reading my book. That's all I have to say. I'm sorry I just had to get them out.

This is YoBoyMcFly and I will see you all in the next chapter.
