Secrets and Nightmares

Steven, dad, and Amethyst were sitting on the couch throwing balled up papers at each other that is until Garnet worpped in.

"Hey Garnet." I nodded as I cleaned up the kitchen.

"The geode is cracked, we must leave immediately." She said Amethyst and Pearl gasped rushing to the worp pad. "You too, (Y/n) and Steven." Garnet said, I nod and set the clean dishes down. Running to Pearl who already had my bow out.

"Are you sure you'll be okay, dad?" I asked as I saw a frown form on his face. He sadly nods.

"Don't worry about your old man, my legs not getting any more broken- if I need something I'll just... crawl." I frowned, I had a feeling he was trying to guilt trip Steven and I.

"Now, Greg, there's no need to be so pathetic. If anything happens to you- you can use this to call us." Pearl said as she pulled out a blue flute from her gem.

"What is it?" He asked.

"It's a worp whistle- blow it and we'll come back right away." I explained from the worp pad. Pearl smiled and gave me a nod.

"Very good, (Y/n)." Pearl smiled. I sent her finger guns as Steven looked in awe.

"See dad, you'll be fine. We'll see you later." Steven waved. We worpped to a dark area- the sky was filled with thunder clouds and lightning with the howling all around- in the middle of a crater was a giant ball sphere- with a crack in it. "Was there an explosion or something?"

"Almost. What you're looking at is a synthetic storm that was contained in-" Pearl was explaining but stopped when the air filled with a flute sound.

"Is that the worp whistle?" I asked, there was no way dad had already gotten hurt, right?

"Dad needs me! I'll be right back!" Steven shouted and ran to the worp pad. I had a bad feeling about this. And my gut was right this happens three more times before we're actually able to have a chance to seal it. Pearl explains that if not sealed the storm could unleash a vapor that could kill everyone.

"Seal the crack with your healing powers." Garnet said. Steven furrows his brows and looks nervously at the geode.

"But... what if- I can't do it?" Steven frowned. I ruffled his hair.

"It won't hurt to try." I smiled down at him. He nods and licks his palm- slapping the geode but nothing happens. I felt his body tease up and his shoulders shake. I kneel down to him and turn him around to face me, holding his shoulders. "It's okay, don't beat yourself up over this. We'll find another way."

"How am I supposed to call myself a crystal gem if I can't even..." Steven stopped when dad blew the flute again. We worp back home leaving the gems to figure out another plan. Steven runs up to dad who was half asleep on Steven's bed with the t.v. blasting. Placing my bow on the coffee table while Steven talked to dad about using the flute for only emergencies. Dad then asks Steven for a snack from the big donut. He walks down the short staircase and asks if I want anything. I shook my head and told him I'd be taking a shower. Amethyst reassures him he'll get his healing powers back and for a croissant. Steven leaves and I make my way to my room and connected bathroom only to stop and go back for my bow that I left on the coffee table. I pause in the middle of the living room when I turn and see dad walking and dancing completely fine while making himself a sandwich. I cross my arms and keep watching him- waiting for him to notice me standing there. He only turns around when he hears the front door open. He twirls and drops the jar of mayo and smiles at us.

"Ha! You scared me there, kiddos. Didn't see you two standing there. Your old man's still got it, huh?" Dad asked, gesturing to his moves.

"Dad." I called.
