| *sigh* Another dead day at the car wash. It was ten till four in the afternoon and the work day was just winding down. With another heavy sigh Greg made his way around the building, shutting off all the generators and water pumps, until the only thing left on was the pitiful security system he had installed throughout the building. Punching in the code he locked the front door, turned and walked the 15 feet to his home, aka the van. But instead of climbing into the back where his bed and belongings were held, he stepped around to the side of the van and admired the artwork on the side. He had painted this van when Marty first agreed to be his manager. Of course Marty hated it but it was the only set of wheels they had available to them so he ungracefully gave in to Greg and agreed to use it as the tour bus. Patting the side of the van, Greg smiled wistfully. This van held so many memories for him. While he did wish that he had a proper house and a better job and didn't have to scrape by on his measly paychecks, Greg had to admit that this van had been constantly reliable when he needed it to be. Sure it was a rust bucket, but for everything that it had been through it had never quit on him. So Greg couldn't bring himself to complain. For all the bad he'd come across in his life, he had a lot of good too. With a small chuckle he walked back around to the back door, crawled onto his makeshift bed, grabbed his guitar, and strummed out the tune that he'd been repeating in his head all day. Even though he wasn't aiming for fame anymore he still enjoyed composing songs, a trait it seems was passed down to Steven. Greg smiled at the thought of his happy-go-lucky son. Steven was one of the best good things to happen to Greg. Pausing in his playing for a moment he contemplated his son further. With every passing day, Greg saw a little more of Rose in him. And while this wasn't a bad thing, it did worry him a little. Just what would become of his son? He didn't know much about all that Gem stuff but he knew enough to know Steven was something completely new. Even Rose's friends, the other Crystal Gems, didn't know exactly what to think of him. Would Steven age like a human, or like a Gem? What other powers did he have that he hadn't discovered yet? What about the other Gems that weren't with Rose, the ones that came from the other planet? What would they think of Steven if they every discovered him? There were so many questions surrounding his son that his head began to spin just thinking of them all. Shaking himself from that train of thought he resumed his playing and tried to focus on other things. He could sit all day and ponder all the "what ifs" about his son, or he could enjoy the time he had with him now and figure out the rest when the time came for it. Greg didn't have all the answers but if there was one thing he was good at, it was being flexible when things were unpredictable. |

| Steven hobbled down the side walk, gleefully humming under his breath. He could hardly handle waiting to tell his dad about the concert. He just wanted to shout it out. "Oh.. It'll be a concert! There'll be tons of refreshments! We'll order from the Big Donut!" Just forming the ideas in his head made him even more excited, and he begun to run at a faster gait. Steven wanted to keep it a surprise, but it was surprisingly hard not to just jump up and announce it all.
Just the other day he was sitting in the doors of Fish Stew Pizza, sucking at the straw of a Durian Pop' Deluxe™. He had brought it from home only because the Pizza place conspicuously replaced their Soda's with something called "Pizza Juice." He seriously wasn't ready to try it. Pearl had sat across from him, anxiously looking side to side, trying to keep a positive expression. She stared outside into the sunlit streets, the moon creeping over the horizon as it began to get darker. Pearl began to open her mouth only to be interrupted by Steven doing a spit-take. "I GOT IT!" Steven shouted, and flied out of his seat without even hesitating for Kofi to move out of the way. Kofi yelled and spilled all of the containers of the pizza box on the floor, he waved his fist a Steven only to be met by a nonchalant shrug from Pearl.
Steven grinned with delight as he approached the street the dusty car wash was on "Dad's gonna love this!" He muttered as the distance between him and the building dwindled. He saw his dad plucking at the old Guitar. Steven put on a gleeful face and turned the corner. "Hey Daaaad." He said as he stared at his balding father. "Guess whaaat?" Steven said with a wink. ((Note, I wasn't really controlling Pearl or Kofi, as it was a flashback moment.)) |

A yawn escaped her as she stretched, languid and lazy. Amethyst didn't know how long she had been asleep for - a few minutes? Hours? Maybe even a few days? She didn't care to count, but she felt like eating something so she got up from her place in the middle of the kitchen and looked around.
Opening the refrigerator did not reveal anything interesting - it was kind of empty at the moment. Weren't they supposed to feed Steven on a regular basis or something?
Amethyst yawned again, her interest in food quickly fading. She was booored and what fun was in that?
It was quiet. Where was Steven anyway? He was usually good for a laugh. Well, she'd better look for him or else Pearl was sure to get on her case about "losing him" again or something.
Exiting the house, Amethyst shapeshifted herself into a ball and began to roll through the street - she made sure to knock over as much as possible in the process. |

The door began to glow with a ring appearing around the silvery star and a glowing line shot downward from the ring, parting the doors as it did so. Pearl emerged into what looked like an empty living room. She saw a wisp of light lavender slip through the door, causing her to frown. Where could Amethyst be off to? And where was Steven? Was he with her?
Pearl pranced over to the window and saw Amethyst had shapeshifted into a ball. She sighed - of course Amethyst wanted to get into trouble.
Before she knew it, Pearl was out the door and on Amethyst's trail - someone had to clean up after her.
"Honestly, Amethyst. Control yourself!" Pearl shouted though she doubted Amethyst could hear her. |

She heard the familiar yelling - and very shrill - voice of Pearl as she made her way down the street, but Amethyst laughed in response.
"Sorry P! Can't hear you over all this FUN I'm having!" To make a point, she aimed directly for an innocent trashcan sitting at the end of a driveway, smashing into it. Trash went everywhere, and with another laugh, Amethyst doubled back and rolled through that as well. Now she was properly covered, it was time to go back. Finding Steven could wait, she now had a new target in mind.
She popped back to her normal self once she reached the nagging wonder. "Hey there, Pierogi!" Amethyst grinned and stepped even closer, arms wide as trash fell off of her in pieces and drips. "Want a hug?" |

"Don't even THINK about it," Pearl said drawing her spear and pointing it at Amethyst. She wasn't about to hurt her but it was effective enough to keep Amethyst and her filth away from her.
"You can't just cause trouble around Beach City like this, Amethyst. We already do enough damage as it is. This is our home and we need to respect this place. Honestly, you'd think you'd have a bit more decency," Pearl chided. Beach City certainly wasn't her favourite place but still. She had enough decency to not PURPOSEFULLY ruin the place. |

| Connie is walking down the board walk, heading towards the car wash. Steven called her earlier today, mentioning some plans. She hummed softly to herself as she heads to her destination. |

| Another person stepped onto the boardwalk, clad in a comfortable yellow sundress and carrying a load of beach towels in her arms; Sadie, as could be identified by her short stature and her blonde hair peeking out from behind the pile. She waved at Connie, stopping and adjusting her grip on the fabrics as the other girl came closer to her end of the boardwalk.
"Connie, was it?" Sadie peeked out from behind the stack, eyes crinkling up as she smiled; they shone in the afternoon light like they never did while in the confines of the Big Doughnut "Have you seen Steven? He told me to bring towels for the concert, but I wasn't sure how many..." she chuckled at the memory of the enthusiasm Steven had practically radiated in the phone call that morning "All he said is lots, but I'm not sure if I can carry any more" |

| Connie looked up, noticed Sadie was there. She looked a bit startled, but listened to what she had to say.
"oh, he's at the car wash. He told me about it, something about it being a surprise for his dad. He told me to meet him there."

Water bear walked out of the temple, looking over the damage that Amethyst has caused. She gave a simple blink, than looked towards the two, only hearing the tail end of pearl's ranting.
"let me guess, amethyst did this?" |

| As Greg was plucking out his new tune, he heard a familiar voice calling to him. Looking up he saw Steven making his way over to the van and an ear to ear grin broke out over his face. "Hey Stu-ball! What's crack-a-lackin?" He pulled him up into his arms for a quick hug and then an obligatory nuggie. The affectionate wrestling mussed up his already tightly curled hair and seeing the curls took Greg back to before Steven was born, when those curls had been pink and luscious. Steven looked more like Rose than he knew. Greg could happily say that Steven's musical talent and humor came from him, but the majority of him was all Rose. It made his son that much more precious in Greg's mind; knowing that he was a living and breathing testament to Rose's love of him, and love of life. Coming back to the present Greg grinned down at his daily reminder of how wonderful life could be, and waited to see just what thoughts were hiding behind his son's slightly mischievous grin. |
