Connie huffed as she pushed the large door to the side "Steven! I have food!" She yelled holding on tight to the black bag she held. She wondered the temple calling out his name going through each of the former Crystal Gems rooms. It wasn't until she got to Roses room when she saw something move under the clouds, "Steven I-" something pounced on her as claws dug into her shoulders. Her bag was violently pulled away as she looked over to see her corrupted friend sticking his entire head into the bag, he tried to get it off but to no avail. The human sighed pulling the bag off the hybrid as he clawed at her arm trying to get the bag once again. "Steven no, no! Sit!" She yelled before pulling out a cookie cat, that's when he started listening and sat down. "Good, now open your mouth," she said grabbing a foam box that contained Fry Bits. Grabbing a hand full she held it out to Steven letting his claws dig into her arms as he ate them from her hand 'Don't bite me, don't bite me, don't bite me' she thought as he finished.

She grabbed another handful feeding it to him as she rinsed and repeat until the entire thing was gone. "Good job Steven, here, you can have your cookie cat now," she said as he immediately took it from her with his claws and took a bite starting with the ears first enjoying its flavor. 'That's him alright, there's still time I know it!' She thought before taking out some homework to do while Steven enjoyed his ice-cream. Once that was taken care of Connie pulled out a large map she made and a book she rented from the library. "Maybe we could start looking here, Amethyst would most likely be ther- Steven! Come on get off!" Connie yelled pushing her friend off the map she set. He only moved a few inches as he made himself comfy laying on the map, "ugh your just like Lion" she complained. The portal behind them closed as Connie hopped off Lion while Steven whimpered as he fell face-first onto the ground. "I know bud, your gem hurts" she said petting his head, Lion licked his face as the human examined the Kindergarten they were in.

"She's gotta be here" she whispered under her breath. They started walking around in search of the small gem while the hybrids back claws, his feet, scratched at Lions' side as he tried to find a comfortable stop to lay on his back. He had on mittens to prevent him from scratching at his gem, Lion didn't seem to mind at all though he just followed Connie. "Amethyst! Amethyst! It's me, Connie! I'm not gonna hurt you!" then she heard screeching and something hit a wall making her fall. "Bingo," she said getting up running towards the noise seeing two corrupted gems. "Two birds with one stone, well, one bird and an Amethyst" she chuckled. "Come on, Steven" the corrupted hybrid whined as she carefully set him down on the ground. "Shh I know it hurts but you have to be quiet for me, ok?" She said petting him before hopping onto Lion pulling out her sword. As they were about to intervene Pearl was slammed against a wall causing rocks to fall exposing the three.

Connie panicked as the two looked at them, another screeching rang throughout the Kindergarten as Pearl charged at her along with Amethyst. Lion jumped back not realizing that Steven was under an injector that was about to fall. "Steven!" She yelled catching Pearl's attention as she turned around noticing the falling object. Wasting no time she immediately ran towards him using her beak to pick up the back of his shirt. Afterwards, she wrapped her wings around the hybrid protectively, Amethyst looked over to her seeing Steven's hair before running over to see if he was alright. Connie hopped off Lion running her fingers through her hair letting out a small laugh "they still remember him!" She smiled. Then another thought ran through her head "and how am I gonna get them back to the temple?"
