author's note as of 2021: my writing has drastically improved since i made this years and years ago. the only reason i find it in myself to keep this up is because this fandom holds a special place in my heart and fics like these got me to write! so...
"How are you so fast?" You whisper to the bird, stroking it's chin. "I wish I could soar like you, watch everyone." And especially Garnet, you think, but brush off the thought because it's very stalker-like. Your smile fades the minute the door is knocked. No one ever knocks at your hotel room. Ever. So when you happened to eventually pass by the actual door, you partially opened it, and saw a familiar curly haired boy. "Steven!" You smile. "What do you want?" You lean against the door. "Your phone's ringing." He points out. You wonder who the heck it is, especially now, so you refuse to answer it, no matter how persistent they are (the person). Finally the last and final nerve and ring ends so you say goodbye to Steven and answer. The bird is still perched by the windowsill, he stares at you, and it seems quite encouraging. "Go on." You mutter annoyingly, and it's to you and him. He flies away. You answer the call, and it's....
Garnet. "How did you get my number, then?" She thinks a little, and you try to mumble, but she cuts you off. "Steven."

Her attire has changed: she's wearing a basic outfit. The smile on your face is funny, and it's hilarious because you both smile and wave over and over again. Then eventually you walk over, and sit down. You look out to the sea as well, almost wanting to look away just to avoid her gaze. "Are you alright?" Garnet asks, turning to you. Your phone rings. "Louis. Can't reach me at the moment." He replies, "OK." You put it down. "Sorry." You blush, annoyingly. "All okay?" She asks again, and you nod. "And you?" You ask.
"Actually, no." You frown. "Not at all. And I don't even know why."
