Steven tries to calm himself from what happened to jasper. But his pink powers constantly shut on and off like a light switch
Steven: come on Steven! Calm down!
He thinks for a while and decides to head for spirit valley to see his pals as they prepare taco night
Steven: hey everybody! Stevens here and ready for some action
Jack: hey stevo! Glad your here
Otis: yeah! I'm just about to let out the loudest belch safe haven ever seen!
Steven: oh really?
Otis: you bet! Ya might wanna stand back though. I need to prepare my instrument
Pip: he's been training for a whole week
Otis: he's right
Pip: you ready? Eye of the cow!
Otis: eye of the cow!
Pip: you the man!
Otis: I'm the man!
Pip: you are a tower of strength!
Otis: I am ya know
Pip: it's all you buddy!
Otis: it is me!
Pip: be the burp!
Otis: let's do this thing!
He lets out a big inhale but when he exhaled, it sounded more like a gagged up squeal than a burp
Zill: anytime Otis. We ain't getting any younger
Pip: yeah dude! Your embarrassing me!
Otis: I'm trying! It's not that easy to blow your mind with burps with all ya staring at me! Alright! Here we go! Big inhale!
He does so but accidentally inhaled pip. Otis gags for a few seconds before spitting pip out who was all covered in cow saliva
Pip: not cool dude! So not cool!
Steven: okay... hey has anyone seen Connie?
Damian; yeah! I saw her, she's by the river getting some her time
Steven: why are you talking like that?
Millie: well duh! She's really hoping to go out! Besides, it's not every day a prince becomes her (dramatically) boyfriend!
Steven: really? Me? And her?! Oh boy! Well we have known each other for a long time
Terk: well go on than! Talk to her
Steven: talk to Connie?!
Terk; yeah! Ya know, move ya lips, say some words, make ya way up to sentences?
Steven: I don't know, I mean, what would she want to do when I do ask her? I mean has amazing! And I'm-
Terk: your fine! She'd be lucky to have you! Just go already!
Steven: okay! Fine I'll do it!
Steven goes up to Connie who was braiding her hair by the river with steel rhino next to her
Steel rhino: you know young worrier. Even if you must do what you can to protect those you love, that doesn't mean your nothing to them
Connie: really?
Steele rhino: yes. You mean the world to those you have feelings for, especially pinks son
Connie: well I do care a lot for Steven. And I mean a lot!
Steel rhino: and your reaching that very age when you have to let your feelings speak for you
Connie: you mean....?
Steel rhino nods with a smile on his face. Connie blushes big time
Steven: uh.... hey Connie!
Connie: Steven! Didn't see ya there
Steven: yeah, I've been pretty busy today
Connie: well I'm glad your here
Steven: me too
They both sit down and look up to the fish of peace in the sky as they'd win across the stars
Steven: it's really beautiful
Connie: really?
Steven: yeah
Connie: so what do you do these days anyway?
Steven: oh! Uh.... just thinking
Connie: about what?
Steven: well.... wondering about specific stuff
Connie: really?
Steven: yeah
The crew get behind some trees as they make beautiful music
Steven:🎶sometimes, I wonder
What colors mean to you
Why the sea is blue
Like your eyes
He shuts his mouth
Steven: sorry
Connie: go on
Steven: well...🎶sometimes
I wonder why the moon is new
Where the stars are shooting to
When their shooting through
The sky!
Their are wondrous things
That I
Would like to know
Like if I'll ever find my way through these tides
And I wonder why
I wonder so
While others are busy
Finding perfect brides!
He realizes what he just said
Steven: where was I?
Connie: (giggles) perfect brides?
Steven: 🎶sometimes
I wonder if there'll ever be
Someone who's right for me
Someone who may wonder too
Who's wonderful
Who might probably
Be
You🎶
Connie: oh Steven. That's so sweet. You really care about me?
Steven: a lot actually
Connie scoots closer to Steven
Connie: so do I
She gets ever closer, and then, right then and there
Everyone's jaw drops, including Otis after seeing such a romantic moment. Connie backs up as Steven feels the kiss marks around his mouth. His heart beated faster than it ever did before. That's when his eyes shined as brightly as the smile on his face as he blushes big time. Connie does so too as they both look up to the stars close together looking up to the sky

Little did they suspect that someone from the bushes was watching. An all too familiar face that was going to ruin everything soon enough
Smaug: (chuckles wickedly) enjoy the moment Romeo. You'll be swimming on an endless ocean of disparity soon enough
