Beach city at the temple

Steven is sitting on his bed with his best friend Connie who is wearing her casual dress watching the latest episode of Crying Breakfast Friends oh her laptop.

"Can't believe the finally release a new episode", Steven says with glee while Connie on the other hand is confuse over the sight of seeing varies breakfast characters crying. She turns to steven

"Uhm steven?", connie asks "what's so good about this show?", she asks after seeing the first minute of the main characters crying

"Well you see you have to watch it from the beginning to understand it and - huh look at this", Steven says as he gets a notification of someone wanting to video chat. The caller ID user is PERIDOT5XG. "Oh it's Peridot", he says as he accepts the video chat and a small screen appears.

"STEVEN!", Peridot screams in front of the screen. Steven and Connie eyes are widen open as they wonder what is going on.

"Peridot what's-", Steven says but Peridot cuts him off

"SOMETHING IS IN THE BARN", Peridot screams as she moves away from the screen to show the inside of the barn. It shows Lapis looking around trying to find something. All of a sudden there is a shuffling noise Lapis looks to her left and turns behind to Peridot

"Peridot it's over here.", Lapis says and points

"GRRAAAWWA that's were it is. Ta ga I'll show that thing you don't come and invade our home!", Peridot grumbles as she moves the screen to show a figure moving fast and out one of the windows. "Graaw oh no its not getting away", Peridot leaves the computer down and she runs outside. "LAPIS HELP ME CATCH IT", Peridot screams

"Peridot it left we don't have to chase it!", Lapis yells back as she goes after Peridot. Steven and Connie eyes are wide as they couldn't tell what was going on but regardless they had to do something. Connie closes her laptop and the two run to the warp pad

"Wait where's the rest of the crystal gems?", Connie asks

"They went on a mission somewhere", Steven responds, "Lets hope it's nothing serious", he hopes as Steven activates the wrap pad. A few seconds later they arrive near the barn. The two run towards the barn and call out for either Lapis or Peridot

"LAPIS", Steven yells

"PERIDOT", Connie yells but there was no response. They yell again

"LAPIS", Steven yells

"PERIDOT", Connie yells. This time they got a response

"Aaaaggggghhhhh"

Connie and Steven look to where the direction of the scream

"Wait who's that screaming?", Steven asks himself as that scream was something he never heard.

"Aaaaaaagggghhhh", Connie and Steven look to see Peridot attacking someone. Steven and Connie ran towards them and they got a better look on whats happening, They see Peridot wrap around a pink hair boy wearing a black rob. The boy is frantically trying to remove Peridot by waving their arm where she was and tries to push her off with his free hand . Connie and Steven look at the scene with confusion, then Lapis shows up and goes up to the two.

"Sorry I lost her when she was chasing the human", Lapis explains

"aaaaggggghhhhhh GET HER OFF. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH THIS", the pink hair boy scream

"oh boy let's go get Peridot", Steven says and the three grab Peridot but as they try to pull her, she tightens her grip on the kid's arm. The pink hair boy lifted his free hand and lifts it to the air

"RAGNAROK SWORD MODE", he yells. Steven, Connie, Lapis, and Peridot stop and look up to the boy's hand in the air to see nothing. Said boy also looks ups to see nothing in his hand. "Ragnarok?", he says weakly. He looks back at everyone else and now looks more terrify. Peridot now realizing that the boy is probably harmless, she begins to loosen her grip on the boy's arm. Steven, Connie, and Lapis immediately grab her and pull her towards them. The boy just stood where he was and was still looking at his hand in the air. "Ragnarok?", he says weakly but it's almost sounds like a whisper. The boy then sits on the ground and hugs his legs. "Th-th-this bad I d-d-don't know how to deal with his", he stutters completely ignoring everyone else. Steven looks at everyone else and shrug his shoulders and walks closer to the boy

"uhm hey are you okay?", Steven asks

"I-i-i d-d-d-on't know to deal with this. I'm useless.", the boy whippers to himself ignoring Steven

"Um hey are you okay?", Steven asks again. The boy again ignores Steven and continues to whipper to himself. Connie walks closer the boy herself and kneels down to his level and place her right hand on the boy's shoulder. The boy now finally turns his attention to Steven and Connie, he is still terrified and Connie

"Hello", Connie greets, "My name is Connie", she says with a smile on her face.

"I'm Steven", Steven happily greets. Steven extends his right arm for a hand shake. The boy looks at Steven's hand and stares at it. He then looks away. Steven is a bit confuse so he was about to ask the boy before he spoke

"C-c-c-Crona", he stutters

"Your name is crona?", Connie asks because the stuttering made it hard for her to understand what he said. Crona looks at Connie again.

"Yes, my name is Crona", he replies without stuttering this time. Crona takes one good look for the first time at the two and then looks over to Lapis and Peridot, he stares at them for a while causing another awkward silence

"um who are t-they", he says nervously as he points to them

"Oh", Steven runs towards Lapis and Peridot, "this is Lapis", he says as his arms point towards her and then points to Peridot. "And this is Peridot", he finish.

"W-Why are they weird l-looking?", he asks

"Well you see there Gems", Steven says and Crona just stares at them and tilt his head. "Its a bit complicated", Steven responds nervously while scratch the back of his head.

"Okay I guess t-that makes sense", Crona mummers to himself.

"So Crona I was wondering. Who's Ragnarok?", Connie asks him. Crona looks at Connie with a sad look before responding

"H-h-he's my weapon p-p-partner", he stutters

"Weapon partner?", Connie says

"H-h-he comes out of my back", Crona says. Connie arches an eyebrow finding a bit odd on what crona just said but she returns back to her happy face.

"Okay can you tell us how or why you were in the barn?", she asks him politely

"um i um don't know I-i-i want to know", Crona stutters nervously

"Wait you don't know how?", Connie asks and Crona shook his head 'no'. Connie then looks back at Steven, Peridot, and Lapis.

"Hey Peridot, Lapis what exactly happened?", Steven asks

"well me and Lapis were watching the first episode of Camp Pinning Hearts", she says and then looks at Crona, "Then all of sudden a bright light appears and then HE appears", she says with a dark tone and points at Crona. Crona reacts by shaking nervously.

"So did he attack you guys?", Connie asks. Peridot was about to respond before Lapis cut her off

"No, no he didn't", Lapis states. Steven and Connie were now confuse at what Lapis said and Steven looks at Crona

"So what did you do?", Steven asks Crona

"w-w-well I was afraid and run around the barn trying to get out", Crona responds weakly. Steven facial expression went blank and turns to Lapis and she nodded her head 'yes'.

"ok so that clears up everything", he says to himself and looks at Crona, "hey crona can you tell us where your from?", he asks him. Crona looks at Steven and scratches his head

"well I know where I-i live", Crona says weakly

"That's great", Steven says with joy

"but I don't know where to go", Crona says

"Oh ok then we can help you", Steven says with a smile

"R-Really?", Crona stutters

"Yeah we can help you", Steven says while extending his right arm in front of Crona. Crona looks at Steven hand and wonders why was he putting near his face. After waiting for a few seconds, Steven realize that Crona wasn't going to shake his hand and move his arm away from him

"So I guess you don't do handshakes?", Steven asks but Crona remain silent. "Ok then, Connie lets take him back to the temple and see if the Gems are back", he says

"yeah hopefully so we can get him home", Connie says. Steven looks to Lapis and Peridot

"Bye Peridot, Bye Lapis", Steven says as he waves his hand

"See ya steven", Lapis says

"See you two latter", Peridot says and the two start to walk back to the barn.

"ok Crona just follow us well take you to back home", Connie says

"o-o-okay", Crona stutters and gets up and follows Connie and Steven. They walk to the warp pad and Connie and Steven got on the pad. Crona didn't step on the warp pad and just stares at it

"Its okay just stay in the middle" Steven says as he moves a bit so that the middle of the warp pad has more space for Crona. Crona still stares at the warp pad but he gulps and finally steps in the middle of the warp pad. "Alright lets go", Steven says with a smile and he activates the warp pad. The pad lights up and Crona starts to freak out

"WAIT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO-", Crona screams but the warp pad activates and teleport the three away
