The shadow assassin (steven universe reader-insert)

Chapter 20.

Steven :(tears up*) B-b-but Pearl took two whole weeks to come back, and I already miss Amethyst so much!

Garnet: (kneels down to Steven*) Don't worry. She'll be back before you know it.

Amethyst's gem then starts glowing and floats off of Steven's arms into the air.

Garnet : Literally.

Steven watches happily as Amethyst quickly reforms in mid-air and drops onto the ground. Steven runs forth to give Amethyst a hug.

Steven :Amethyst's back! Amethyst's back!
Amethyst: Ugh. (pushes Steven aside*) Huh?

Amethyst notices her hands are replaced with feet.

Steven: Looks like you... grew a few feet since the last time I saw you, nyuck-nyuck-nyuck! (nudges Amethyst playfully*)

Garnet: That was fast. Even for you.

Amethyst: Eh, it's no big deal. (stands upside-down on her arm-legs*) I didn't wanna keep my biggest fan waiting!

Steven laughs until Amethyst puts her foot on his head, which he pushes it away looking mildly grossed out, and continues laughing.

Garnet: Hmm.

Amethyst: Ok ok. We got a Slinker to slink! (cartwheels away*)

Steven then attempts to cartwheel too, but fails halfway through. Amethyst starts searching a different part of her room.

Amethyst: Hmm... Where would I go if I were a monster... (walks towards a large hole in the wall*) Hey! Over here!

The trio then walks together into the hole and into the tunnel.

Steven: Your new form is really interesting.

Amethyst: Thanks, Steven.

Steven: I didn't even know you could come back this different!

Amethyst: (annoyed*) Thanks, Steven.

Steven: So... why'd you come back with four legs?

Amethyst: (walks ahead, annoyed*) 'Cause I like walking!

Steven: Wow... I want four legs too!

Garnet: No, you don't! Amethyst rushed her regeneration, she should've taken her time.

Amethyst rolls her eyes at Garnet's comment.

Steven: Like Pearl?

Amethyst stops walking, offended.

Garnet: Yes, Pearl put a bit more... thought into how she came back.

Amethyst: Pearl! Pearl! Pearl! You know I can hear you! (reveals an oversized ear*) I'm sorry I'm not like Pearl with her fancy form, and her clean room with no monsters in it!-

The Slinker suddenly crashes through the tunnel, crashing onto of Amethyst and causing her to poof, and digs away into another hole. Steven and Garnet quickly runs up to and look down the hole.

Steven: Amethyst?

Garnet jumps down holding Steven, and they see the Amethyst's gem.

Steven: Amethyst's gem! (runs towards it*) She got 'poofed' again!

Garnet: This is a good opportunity for her, now she can make a better form.

Amethyst's gem starts glowing and floating again.

Steven:(gasps*) She's coming back!

Garnet: (covering her shades*) Hmm.

Amethyst quickly reforms, taking on a form that looks like Pearl with a bigger and longer hairdo and loose socks.
