Author's Note: Hey Guys! Sorry I haven't been writing in a while. I've been really busy and recently my sweet guinea pig Fluffy passed away. So the love in this story, every word, every song is dedicated to her. So I'll do my best to write this exceptionally well. Please leave comments and tell me what you think (I answer and love all I receive). But please keep hurtful and negative comments to yourself. I appreciate criticism but I really don't gain anything from a hurtful comment.

In short, don't like it? Don't read it.

Thank you =)


Steven sat on his bed watching TV. It'd been a long time since any disturbances had happened and he was enjoying himself. The gems were happy, his dad had started hanging around more often and Connie got to come over every Sunday afternoon to learn sword fighting with Pearl.

Right before Steven's show went off Garnet emerged from the warp pad.

"Garnet!" Steven said running down the steps from his room and jumping into the arms of the large woman, "Where have you been?" Stars shining in his eyes as Garnet held him up with a smile on her face.

"It's a surprise for you Steven." Garnet purred as she placed him under her arm and walked up the stairs to his bedroom. Sitting down on the floor as another cartoon came on TV.

"It's your birthday tomorrow Steven, what would you want for it?" Garnet stared down at Steven as he smiled (Still starry eyed) at her.

"Well, there's nothing I really want..." Steven puckered his lips as he thought of what he might want. Immediately after a few minutes he jumped up and smiled at Garnet. "Can I meet Ruby and Sapphire officially this time?" Garnet smiled and removed her shades, placing them gently onto Steven's face and grinned.

"Why would you want to see them after you already met them?" Garnet placed her hands on her hips still sitting down.

"Well... when I met them it was kinda rushed. We had to get away from the Home-world gems! I guess what I'm saying is, I'd like to get to know the other Crystal Gems." Steven twirled his fingers as he looked down, if her shades weren't obscuring his vision she would've seen the uncertainty in his eyes. He wondered if he was hurting Garnet by talking about her being a fusion.

"Steven, Ruby and Sapphire are me, but we're more. I'm- We, are the same person. We are a combination of each other. We are me. You don't have to feel nervous about wanting to meet them." Garnet winked at him with her third eye. Steven took off Garnet's shades and put them back on her.

"'You can't break up a pair'". Garnet smiled at Steven. Steven hugged Garnet and ran towards the door. "Yeah, because you have a great pair." Steven walked out the door happily as a blush crossed Garnet's cheeks.

Garnet sat still watching the horrible TV show's ending. Thinking to herself a raspy voice came tumbling from her lips.

"Should we split up for Steven's birthday party?" Ruby said still staring at the television.

"We were supposed to do that... we can't say no, just think of that face." Sapphire said remembering Steven's Cutesy smile whenever Garnet is near.

"You know he's right Sapphire." Ruby said smirking. "You do have a great pair".

Garnet smiled before pinching her left arm.
