A/N: I'm starting off the story telling about Steven's life on HomeWorld and what he's been tasked to do. It'll be the next chapter or the one after that where I'll have him go to Earth if any are wondering.

Steven's POV:

Sigh...

It still amazes me that, despite being half Gem warrior, I still suffer from the many disadvantages of being human. One of them, that I slightly enjoyed, was sleeping, which I did once every night when I was alone. Sitting up, I stared at the yard long silky black, silver, and white bedsheets that covered my body and the bed way too big for me. 'I know I was told to be given a bed, but seriously, a small or large family even could share this', I though to myself.

Removing the blanket off me, showing that I was in baggy white clothes as my sleeping pajamas, I stepped out of bed. As I began walking further away, small panels in the floor opened, taking off my clothes, putting on my regular wears. A somewhat baggy white zip-up jacket with a bright silver star on the center, white pants, and grey and white sneakers. It may sound weird, but my favorite color was white, probably got that from my mother when I actually think about it.

Walking into my bathroom, something that was recently added when I was born, which is why the toilet was a big hole full of water. Anyway, I started to brush my teeth, ignoring the small creatures trying to do it for me, not like I couldn't do it myself. After that, I combed my mess of hair into its regular star shape, just like how my mother used to have it. Sighing to myself, I exited the room to where I was planning to today, which made me have mixed feelings.

It was a special day, but also just another reminder that I'm stuck on this split planet with Gem's treating me like someone close to shattering them. Seriously, in my entire life, I was never tempted, nor disliked a Gem enough to want them destroyed. But the one before me made it clear that she'd do it in a heartbeat, ironic since I'm the only one on this planet with insides.

Groan...

I'm ranting to nobody, well done Steven!

Whatever, I'm almost to the main room, the only other room besides my bed and bathroom I'm allowed to be by myself without my Pearl or the other Diamonds, Yellow and Blue. Well... might as well get things started with me sitting on the overly large throne, which actually controlled a entire ship in the shape of my mother's head. Relaxing in it, I looked out through the ships eyes to see dozens of Ruby ships or Gems flying all over.

"Let's get this over with", I said out loud, a dozen small screens appearing before my eyes.

1 Hour Later:

'Ok, so Blue's returning from her trip to the Zoo, Yellow is receiving reports from her Peridot supporters, and I need to check on the new Pearl's being developed', I thought to myself. For the first half of my day, I'm suppose to review and respond to any reports that are sent to me, and that's a lot. So far, it's just the standard stuff that I hear everyday, with the other planet reports, Kindergarten returns, and so much more. It's so predictable that I'd kill to have something a little different show up, literally anything at all, good or bad.

Grumble...

That was the sound of a human necessity that both brought me joy, but major annoyance since it comes unexpectedly. "Pearl", I whispered to nothing, my personal assistant showing up instantly by my side, "My Diamond, what is it you request?", she asked plainly with a creepy smile. "I haven't had breakfast", I asked, "Of course My Diamond, one moment", she said before leaving. I'll be honest, when I was younger, her cracked face and plain stance creeped me out, but now, I barely notice.

Not even a minute later, she returned with a plate full of star shaped pancakes with syrup drizzled over it. "Enjoy my Diamond", Pearl said robotically, placing the plate on my lap and then left, leaving me again to the silence and my meal. I'll say this much, despite Gems not needing any use of food or water, Pearl can cook surprisingly well. Even if the ingredients being pale imitations of the original, I can't really tell the difference between them.

Which I can't really since I've never had the real ones.

Cutting into the food and eating it, I thought over what I'll do for the rest of my day seeing as how I have nothing to do. Any Gems that have issues report to their Diamond leaders, where mine are too scared or have nothing to complain about, since they never come to see me. The only ones I do meet are there to answer any request I never ask for to begin with, which often gets irritating. It's the same thing everyday really, the same routine I've done my whole life without stopping, not once.

Wake up, check reports while eating breakfast, greet the Diamonds when I get the chance, and research anything I can find.

The report job barely takes 2 hours to complete, and since the Diamonds are usually busy, I have a lot of free time too myself during the day. Since everyone is built to do a certain job and I was made out of nowhere, so there's not much I can do. My mother, White Diamond, was in charge of keeping everyone in line, both regular Gems and the Diamonds.

Since I'm still inexperienced, the Diamonds work full time to lessen the work until I'm of age and am able to take control of everything. Because of that, every Gem here pampers me like I'm a royal and will kill them if I'm not pleased with what they do. I can't walk 2 feet outside without every Gem in a 50 yard radius bowing before me and not stopping until I'm back inside a building. It's the second most annoying thing about my day, which can be surprising to some, especially the Gem's who see me as a God.

As you can see, I don't really need to talk because everyone talks so much they answer or do something that doesn't require me to respond. I find that sad since I've spent years perfecting my talking in different languages, both from other worlds and here. I can easily speak fluently in over a hundred different dialects and write in them so well it's like I was raised to write in them.

The final bite of my breakfast finished, I stood up and jumped off the throne and walked away back to my room. There, beside my bed, were dozens of books and Gem like technology I use to further my learning and experience with Gem culture. There isn't much there I haven't memorized or have seen more than enough times because I'm practically trapped here. I really shouldn't complain much since I can and practically do have everything I could ever want.

But here's the thing... there's only one thing in the ENTIRE universe I truly desire.

It's-

"My Diamond", Pearl suddenly showed up, slightly surprising me, "Your presence is requested as Blue Diamond has returned. Yellow Diamond is already waiting for you", Pearl explained. I nodded and got ready, Pearl following me as we both went over to the opening to the outside where we meet Blue. This was standard for whenever a Diamond leaves and returns, for the rest of the Diamonds to come and welcome them back. It was made after I was born since the entire system of Gems and the Diamonds changed when White left.

"This way my Diamond", Pearl said as we were incased in a giant white pearl pod, floating over to the landing platform for Blue's ship. I did wonder why Yellow and Blue have ships in the shape of arms and my own was a gigantic bust. I couldn't really think about it any longer as me and Pearl landed, right next to Yellow Diamond and her Pearl.

"Hello Steven, are you well?", Yellow asked without even looking at me, so I just nodded, knowing that her Pearl saw me. "He nodded my Diamond, that shows he is fine", she said happily to her Diamond, making me roll my eyes. Why is it that, besides Blue, that all Pearl's act all clingy and way too eager to please their owners, which was always weird. I wondered if my Pearl was always like this, but didn't see any reason to question since I don't know what could be wrong about her.

As I thought that, Blue's ship landed, the entire city going into loud cheers, mostly from her own court. I just stood there, uninterested, since she goes off world every few months and then comes back like clockwork. So, I just put on my best 'great to see you again' smile as she and her Pearl stepped out of their shop together. It wasn't that I hated her, quite the contrary, she's the nicest Gem on this planet, it's just the whole her leaving and coming back makes me sad.

For two reasons, the biggest being that it makes me think of my own mother, how she left, the only difference is that Blue can come back...

The other isn't really said out loud, considered taboo to even mention lightly, so we all stay quiet and just ignore the feelings. Something I frequently do, seeing as how I have no reason to show them in the first place...

"Why hello Steven, how are you doing?", Blue's words snapped me out of my strange as I looked up to see her smiling face. I gave her a thumbs up, "That's good, Yellow, how are you?", Blue said to Yellow, "I am fine Blue, were things well at the Zoo?", she asked. "It is well, though is that 'thing' we discussed?", Blue whispered to Yellow, making me raise a brow, 'What're they talking about?', I thought. "Everything is set, all we need is to tell him", Yellow whispered back, making Blue nod, both now looking at me.

"Steven, will you join us for a moment in Yellow's throne room?", Blue asked me kindly, making me shrug. I was confused as heck and wanted something else to do, so why not? "Good, fallow us", Blue said as we all left.

A Few Minutes Later:

We now all sat or stood in Yellow's own room, with Yellow sitting and Blue standing at the side, their Pearls standing at the ready. I sat on a small chair my own Pearl brought me that sat on Yellow's armrest, 'Wonder what's going on', I thought. "Now then, Steven, I'm sure you're curious why we have brought you here", Yellow said, making me nod, getting comfortable in my seat.

"And I'm sure you know what happens in a week", Blue added with a smile, making me think over what she's talking about. Oh! Right, I turn a year older next week, guess it slipped my mind since it really isn't that big of an event. Every year on my 'birthday', Pearl makes me a small cake, Blue and Yellow congratulate me, and I get small gifts from them. They weren't anything special, just new Gem technology and my pick at the new Gems, which I always declined.

"Now we know you're 'birthdays' haven't been as extravagant as you'd want them to be, and that we've always just saw it as another day. But this time, we have something special", Yellow said with a small smile, making me tilt my head. 'What are they talking about?', I thought as the continued, "You see Steven, some information came to our attention. Your father, Greg, had informed us years ago that the age your about to reach is very important for humans", Blue said.

Hearing about my dad made me frown, I only heard about him, I've never met him and I really wanted to meet him. The human that changed the mind of the stern White Diamond and somehow got her to have me, then moving to HomeWorld after I was born. I had wished year after year to go to Earth and meet my father, but my place was here and I just had to live with it.

"This brings us to your early gift we had planned for a while", Blue said, making me look up from my frowned hunch. I'm now more curious than ever, this being the first time they ever gave me my present early, and that they tried conversing with me. "We are well aware of what you truly want for your birthday", Yellow said, my eyes widening in surprise. "As such, we have arranged for you to take a trip to Earth", Blue said with a smile, which she shared with Yellow.

!!!!

I stood up in shock, knocking over my chair as I looked back and forth between them, my face asking the unasked question. They both nodded, making my grin nearly splitting my face, 'Oh sweet universe, I'm going to Earth!', I thought with a cheer! "Yes, I'm sure you're excited, but you must fallow us, we'll show you how you'll go there", Yellow said, standing up. She picked me up and set me back on the ground, me eagerly running off and was ready for anything!

"Let's go Steven", Blue said as we all walked, me a small sprint to keep up with them and to show my excitement.

A/N: Steven's life is summarized and next is his way to Earth and showing up at Beach City.
