Let's start this chapter off by saying... I apologize for not updating in so long...
Anyways
The reason why I included two episodes here is because... They were boring... So I decided to skip some scenes that hold no merit 💀
This reads like a slice of life...
How long has it been? Like... A year or something? Rip man...
Do NOT expect frequent updates from me.

Together Breakfast
"It's done!"
Steven's happy voice could be heard.
Steven is currently in the kitchen, raising a strange dish...
It seems that Steven is all alone... The gems were all doing their work.
Garnet is on a mission, Amethyst is in town, Pearl is tidying up Amethyst's room, and Y/N....... Y/N's just busy.
Steven places the dish down on the counter and sighs... It seems that he didn't want to eat the food all alone.
"That thing's too good for me to eat alone"
Steven sighs.
"It's a... Together breakfast!"
Steven said.
*Ting*
*Wrrrrrrrrp!"
The warp pad suddenly shone a bright color, indicating someone's arrival.
Steven gasps as he looks toward the warp pad.
Once the light has died down, Garnet could be seen standing in the middle of the warp pad. Garnet seems to be holding onto a rolled-up purple poster of some sort...
"Ah, Garnet! Perfect. Check it out!"
Steven smiled, holding up the concoction of junk food.
"It's not exactly healthy, but it's in a stack, so I guess you could say it's a... Balanced breakfast."
Steven joked, making a goofy face... One that I may have chuckled at.
Garnet simply looks at Steven with an indifferent face.
"Y'know? Like, I made us all breakfast. I thought we could all eat together like- like best buds!"
Steven said.
"I can't stay. There's business to attend to inside the temple."
Garnet monotones, turning around to walk to the door, probably with the intent to go to her room.
Garnet aims both her palms at the door, her gems glowing red and blue as the door's colors also glow.
Red lines streak across the door before finally opening up.
"Aw, business? Like what?"
Steven asks, placing the plate back on the kitchen counter.
"I have to burn this"
Garnet takes out a purple colored paper with strange symbols drawn on it.
Steven stared at it for a couple of seconds, strange whispering noises emanated from the paper. One of the voices mentioned something about a Coal... How strange.
"Cool!"
*click*
Steven exclaimed, taking out his phone and snapping a picture of the poster.
Steven stared at the photo he took before Garnet suddenly grabbed his phone.
"I have to burn this too"
Garnet said, before walking through the door.
"No! My apps!"
Steven said, running towards Garnet but couldn't get there in time before the door closed on him.
"Door. Open door"
Steven said, pulling up his shirt to reveal his pink gem.
Steven pushes his bellybutton gem to the door, but the door doesn't do anything.
Steven noticed that it wasn't doing anything and backed away from the door.
"Aww, you never work when I need it"
Steven said, walking back towards his breakfast.
*SLAM!*
The door suddenly slammed open, revealing a certain purple girl.
"HAVE YOU SEEN Y/N- *ahem!* Steven, have you seen Y/N anywhere?"
Amethyst cleared her throat hidding her desperation by acting cool.
"Oh! Hi amethyst! And no... Y/N still hasn't come back... I wonder where he went..."
Steven said
"Aww man..."
Amethyst said, walking through the door.
"But now that you're here, let's eat this with the othe-"
Steven gets cut off by the familiar sound of the gem door opening.
*Vrrrrmmm-ping!*
A purple bumpy line traced itself horizontally through the Gems' door.
"Hey! That's my door!"
Amethyst shouted, rushing towards her door.
Pearl stepped out of Amethyst's room, holding a sword.
Amethyst runs to stand beside her.
"Oh, Amethyst there you are. Care to explain what one of my swords was doing in your room?"
Pearl deadpanned.
"Having a swooord party"
Amethyst said sarcastically.
Pearl frowns at amethyst.
"Oh please. You took it"
Pearl said, furrowing her brow.
"I did not!"
Amethyst retorted.
"It's fine... It's in the past. I forgive you"
Pearl sighs, moving the sword around with beautiful fluidity.
"Ugh..."
Amethyst tolls her eyes at Pearl.
"Also, I cleaned up your awful, awful mess... You're welcome."
Pearl said smugly.
"You did WHAT?! I HAVE A SYSTEM!"
Amethyst exclaimed.
Amethyst immediately rushed inside her room, the door closing behind her.
"Amethyst, wait!"
Steven tried to call for Amethyst, but she was long gone.
"What's the matter Steven?"
Pearls asked.
Steven passed by Pearl to walk back to his pancake stack.
"I wanted us all to have breakfast together, so I made Together Breakfast, but everyone keeps leaving"
Steven said, holding up his abomination of a breakfast for pearl to see.
"Oh that's nice..."
Pearl said.
Pearl approached the closed door, her gem glowed a vibrant white.
*Shing!*
The door shines white and opened up, leading to Pearl's room... Which was a strange water-filled room, with water cylinders in the middle of it.
*Slosh*
Pearl steps on the middle of the water, and sinks beneath it.
"Wait, Pearl!"
Steven shouted.
Steven ran towards Pearl's room, but it once again closed in front of him.
"Aw man..."
Steven muttered, sulking on the floor.
His sulking was short-lived, as a familiar sound fills the room.
*Ziiiing~!*
The familiar noise of the warp pad filled Stevens ears.
He whipped his head to the warp pad as the bright light dies down.
*tap tap*
Y/N is seen stepping out of the warp pad... Carrying a bunch of... gardening supplies...
'Gardening? Wonder why he has those...'
Steven thought, looking at the plethora of tools Y/N carried.
Y/N looks around the room. His eye stops when he saw Steven.
"Oh, hello Steven"
Y/N spoke, nodding at Steven in acknowledgement.
"Y/N! You're here! And... Why are you carrying around gardening tools?"
Steven said, running up to Y/N.
"..................I was doing gardening..."
Y/N said, looking at Steven.
...
"Huh, okay! Hey, Hey! now that you're here, you can help me get the rest of the gang!"
Steven said with stars in his eyes.
"Oh? Why do you need them, Steven?"
Y/N tilted his head.
"So we can eat this Together Breakfast!"
Steven said, holding up his stack of pancakes.
"I tried to tell them, but they just keep getting away!"
"Oh... I would love to eat with you...... But unfortunately I just arrived to... Get something"
Y/N said, approaching his door.
*Floom~!*
Y/N's eye glowed red with heat, the door also glowed red... Like a 9000 degree knife.
before Steven knew it, the door burned to a crisp, opening up to another room... More specifically,
Y/N's room! It seems the Gems have added a room specifically for Y/N.
"Sorry, Steven. Perhaps we could eat brunch together"
Y/N said, before entering his room.
"Oh no! Not you too!"
Steven exclaimed.
"I can't let this become Together Brunch!"
Steven said, grabbing his pancakes and walking towards Y/N's room.
Steven, seeing Y/N enter his room, ran towards the room at full speed.
"Oomf!"
Steven plopped on the floor of Y/N's room, right before the door reformed itself!
Fortunately, Steven made it in time.
"Ow..."
Steven shook his head.
"Steven, are you okay?"
Y/N said, kneeling beside Steven.
"I'm okay! Whoa! Is this your room?"
Steven said, looking around Y/N's room.
Steven was surprised... He had thought Y/N's room would have a little more decorations... But it was just... Just bare.
Y/N's room was... A rocky dome... Just a bare dome, with large holes on the sides... Were they tunnels?
(Not 'mine' 😏)
Y/N's room was really spacious. The ceiling was a couple of meters high and the diameter of the circle stretching a couple of meters wide... It was as big as a gladiator's colosseum.
The tunnels, on the other hand, was big enough for a train to go through them... They also looked... Hand made?
"You're room is so... so... boring... Where's the bed? Where's the bathroom?! Where are the decorations?!?!"
Steven spoke, stretching his arms around the place to show how empty Y/N's room is... Of course, while still holding on to the pancakes.
"Apologies, Steven. But I simply do not see the point of decorating my room... I do not need sleep, nor do I need food... In addition... I do not spend much time here..."
Y/N replied with a blank face.
"Huh? But don't you, like, always work in your room? Like... For most of the day... And afternoon... And night?"
Steven said.
"uh..."
"But hey! At least you have a mirror!"
Steven said, pointing at a plain looking, square, full body mirror at the side of the rock dome.
The mirror was an elegant looking, full-body mirror... With a large crack on it and glass spread across the floor.
The mirror simply rests itself against the cave wall...
Though there was an ominous feeling to the mirror...
(Jokes on you, it wasn't Lapis' mirror)
"Why is it... Cracked though?"
Steven tilted his head, seemingly mesmerized by the strange mirror.
Steven took a few steps forward, with the intent to approach the mirror, before Y/N placed a hand in front of Steven, stopping him from going any further.
"It is quite dangerous to be near the mirror, Steven"
Y/N ominously monotoned.
Y/N didn't even bother looking at Steven. He just stared at the mirror with a slight frown.
"H-Huh... Why?"
Steven said, noticing Y/N's serious expression.
"...because there is still glass on the floor, you could get cut"
Y/N said, looking towards Steven while smiling his kind smile.
All the tension gone away when Y/N smiled.
"Oh, right"
Steven blushed, embarrassed by his unawareness.
"OH... RIGHT! Together Breakfast!"
Steven said, remembering the dish he made.
"Together... Breakfast?"
Y/N restated, tilting his head at Steven's urgency.
"Yes! Now that you're here, you can help me get the rest of the gems! C'mon, Y/N! Let's find the- WHOAAA!"
*CRASH!*
Steven took one step forward... And fell through the floor.
"Steven?"
Y/N looked to where Steven was, only to see a large hole on the floor.
Y/N peered down the hole, seeing Steven's fading form, as Steven plunged deeper into the hole.
"WHY IS YOUR ROOM SO DANGEROOOOOUUuuuuus..."
Stevens voice faded as he fell, leaving Y/N all alone in his room.
"...he will be fine... Amethyst is down there"
Y/N said, walking away from the hole as if Steven had not just fallen through it.
Y/N simply walks toward his ominous mirror. He grabs a nearby dust pan and small broom... and began to sweep up the glass that was scattered across the cave floor... Humming to himself ever so quietly.
Y/N then went over to one of the cave's tunnels...
It was a long walk, but Y/N finally reached the end...
There, at the end of the tunnel, were broken down electronic devices... Devices the Gems, and Steven has 'accidently' broken over the course of the past decades due to... Aggressive horseplay... Courtesy of Amethyst and Steven...
But Y/N is searching for one specific device... And... He found it.
A rusty electric blue gem... And an old 'box TV'
He grabbed both of those, along with a remote and some wires.
Then, once again, Y/N made his way back through the tunnel.
.
.
.
*Ziiiing~*
The warp pad chimes to life.
Once the light has died down, Y/N has found himself back in the garden... Spinel's garden.
Dragging the TV with a small red cart, Y/N made his way to where Spinel was.
Y/N took in the beautiful state of the garden.
Flowers started blooming again. The ground was clean and lacks debris. The plants green with life.
I guess Y/N secretly has a green thumb...
The floating pillars were still broken though, but Y/N has no idea how to fix those.
Finally, Y/N saw spinel.
There she stood... Without vines, thanks to Y/N.
Spinel's outfit was also relatively cleaner... Don't ask how Y/N cleaned her...
Spinel's hair was well kept, and her outfit wasn't dirty any more. The vines that hung on her was also gone.
"Y/N! You're back!"
Spinel beamed, hearing Y/N walking behind her.
Spinel froze when she saw what he was carrying.
"Uh... Whazzat?"
Spinel asked, pointing her large gloved thumb at the TV Y/N was dragging.
"It is a Television"
Y/N answered her.
"Tele...vysyon?"
"Yes, television. It is for viewing moving pictures from other places... I hear it is very entertaining."
"Oooh... Cool! :3"
"Indeed"
*Thump*
Y/N tilted the cart, dumping everything on it to the ground.
*Tink-tink*
An electric blue gem rolled out from the cart, and spinel picked it up with great interest.
"Ooh! Pretty!"
Spinel said, looking at the gem.
"That is an electric gem... I hear it is strong enough to power a ship"
Y/N said, gently grabbing the gem out of Spinel's hand before shoving it into the TV.
Spinel watches with interest. It was mesmerizing how Y/N's hand flowed like water as he wired the TV.
"Ooh... what are you doing?"
Spinel tilts her head.
"Fixing it... For you... So you have something to entertain yourself while I am gone..."
Y/N said, glancing at Spinel. That surprised Spinel.
No one has ever done anything for her like that. It's always been her that did stuff for Pink... Never the other way around.
Seeing Y/N do all these kind things for her... Cleaning the garden, fixing her outfit, even going as far as to plant new flowers... It made her pink heart beat rapidly... She just doesn't know why...
"Aww! Thanks best friend!"
Spinel extended her arms to wrap Y/N in a big hug, rubbing her cheek on
Y/N's.
...
After a couple of minutes, Y/N got the TV to work. He and Spinel then spent a couple of minutes watching shows, just to make sure it won't malfunction. Spinel enjoyed the small time they spent watching... It was filled with comfortable silence, and a lot of questions... From Spinel, of course.
.
.
.
.
.
Y/N relaxed in his room... Laying in the center of the cave with his arms and legs sprawled out.
Y/N heard a few rumbling noises coming from the other areas... Perks of making large tunnels in his room... The tunnels act like speakers, allowing him to hear anything and everything from different places in the house.
At first he was worried for Steven and the rest of the gems... But then he realized they could handle themselves. Plus, there aren't really any dangers in the area.
After the rumbling quiet down, Y/N was once again left in comfortable silence... Until someone knocked on his door...
Y/N stood up, and began walking to his door.
Once he opened the door, he saw Steven and the rest of the gems there, patiently waiting for him to open.
"Hello"
Y/N said, looking at the gems questioningly.
"Is there something you need?"
Y/N asked.
Steven raised up a pack of uncooked popcorn.
"Let's go make breakfast, Y/N!"
Steven smiled widely.
Y/N chuckled at Steven's excitement.
"Sure... Let us do that"
Y/N copies Steven's smile.

______________________________________
This one's gonna be shorter... I think I should've skipped this episode.
Frybo
.
.
.
.
.
Y/N has found himself in a conundrum...
One of his gloves, which were used for work, has gone missing, and he has no clue where it could've possibly went.
He checked his room, he checked each tunnel that was in his room, he even checked the garden where Spinel was, but there was still no sign of his gloves.
Poor Spinel, she thought Y/N would stay longer...
Right now, Y/N is warping back home...
.
.
.
*Wrrr~*
The warp pad rung.
Y/N warps back to his home with his eyes closed, and upon opening them... He sees a pantsless Steven, and Pearl explaining something to him... Which Steven is clearly not listening to.
"I'm going to check in town"
Pearl says, turning away from Steven and walks out the door.
"For my pants?!"
Steven yells, but Pearl doesn't reply.
"Hello, Steven..."
Y/N makes himself known.
"Oh, hey, Y/N!"
Steven says turning towards Y/N.
"Have you seen my pants?"
Steven asks.
Y/N simply shakes his head.
"Have you seen my glove?"
Y/N asks, tilting his head.
"No..."
Steven slouches.
...
"What was Pearl talking to you about?"
Y/N asks.
Steven looks back up to Y/N.
"Uh... Something about... Losing some... Shards?"
Steven asks, unsure.
"Hmm... It seems that a lot of people has lost something..."
Y/N said, walking towards his room.
"I will check my room... Perhaps you left your pants there"
Y/N said, ruffling Steven's hair before opening his door and entering it.
"Thanks!"
Steven yells before Y/N's door closes.
.
.
.
Safe to say... Y/N was not able to find it.
He searched everywhere, high and low, but still can't find any of the lost items.
Y/N decided that Steven's pants weren't in his room, so he simply stayed back and relaxed...
*Scutter*
That was, of course, until a strange stuttering noise disturbed him.
Sitting straight from his slumped position, Y/N looked around his messy room.
Now... Where did that noise come from?
Clearly not the pile of electronics... Definitely not from the pile of gardening tools... Hmm... It didn't seem to come from his corner of 'Underground plants'. The clothes pile? Maybe...
Y/N robotically stood up and started walking towards the messy pile of clothes.
The pile mostly consisted of Y/N's work clothes, while some were clothes he thought Spinel could wear... They were mostly pink clothes.
Y/N stopped right above the pile. He scanned the clothes for anything moving. His eyes stopped when he noticed something... something he was looking for...
His glove.
Humming with mild content, Y/N reached for his glove...
Before he could even touch his glove... it suddenly sprung to life!
*scutter*
Jumping with panic, the glove just managed to slip away from Y/N's approaching hand.
The glove crawled around using its fingers and zoomed to the left of Y/N.
"hm?"
Y/N turned his head towards the glove.
Y/N tilted his head with confusion... just what is happening to his piece of clothing? Y/N didn't really question it much, since supernatural things like these always seems to happen to him and the gems... and Steven.
With slight hesitation... Y/N outstretched his hand again...hoping to be successful this time...
*Scutter*
Failure...
The glove twisted and turned with all its might to avoid Y/N's charcoal hands.
"hm?"
Y/N turned his head towards the glove again.
Y/N slightly furrowed his brow... if sudden movements scare it away... maybe he should try a different approach?
"I will not hurt you"
Y/N said, gently extending his hand, but not enough to be TOO close to the sentient glove.
*Tap Tap*
The glove seems to shuffle in place... it looked like it was thinking whether to trust Y/N or not.
Alas... Y/N's nonthreatening aura and kind eyes convinced the glove enough.
Using its 'fingers', the glove jumped straight to Y/N's hand, seemingly snuggling against it.
Y/N brought his hand close to his face, studying the strange moving glove... just what kind of magic brought his glove to life? eh... Y/N doesn't really think of it. instead, Y/N thought of making friends with this glove.
(the quality is slowly degrading... these episodes suck so bad, man... what the hell do you expect me to do with these goofy ahh episodes? one's about making breakfast, the other is a horror parody)
"What... are you?"
Y/N brings the glove closer to his face, in an attempt to observe it.
The glove didn't answer him. It simply laid down on his hand and seemingly... dozed off? Y/N shrugs his shoulders, completely accepting this situation.
"Maybe I should show you to Steven"
Y/N said, thinking about how excited Steven would be to have a, sort of, pet in the house?
There is one thing on his mind though... What would he name this glove? Y/N isn't really a genius when it came to naming things. He isn't very creative... I mean, he did name his Gem power "Heat Up"
racking up his brain, he finally decided on a name to call this glove...
"I'll call you... Glove"
Is what he decided on... again, not very creative.
Glove didn't seem to mind. Jumping around on Y/N's hand, Glove seemed to show how much it appreciated the name.
"Steven would like you... He always wanted a pet"
Y/N said, slightly smiling.
I wonder where he is... is what Y/N would think.
.
.
.
.
.
*crash*
Concerning noises were heard as Y/N was taking a peaceful stroll through town.
Y/N had hoped he could find Steven without any problems... But it seems the half-gem attracts problems.
With a frown on his brow and Glove resting on his shoulder, Y/N speedwalks towards the source of the noise.
What he was met with was... Not Steven... But a wooden board to the face, that radiated a loud;
*SMACK!*
Which, in turn, forced Y/N to take a couple steps back, all while Glove jumped in surprise, before scurrying underneath Y/N's shirt.
Fortunately he wasn't concussed, and was conscious enough to hear a familiar VOUCE calling out for him.
"Y/N!"
Y/N knows that voice anywhere...
"Steven?"
Y/N says, fixing his posture, before asking;
"What are you doing here?"
As if he wasn't just assaulted by a plank.
"I was just- LOOK OUT!"
Steven couldn't get his point across, as he spotted his foe going for Y/N.
With a sharp turn of his head, Y/N spotted his assulter... A strange... French fry mascot? What a weirdo.
*Whoosh!*
The fry enemy launched one of its fake fries at Y/N, hoping to constrict him in the snake-like accessory.
Fortunately, Y/N is a quick thinker... Maybe not when it comes to common sense, but definitely when it comes to imminent danger.
Reaching for his eye and seemingly grasping something invisible from the base, Y/N's eye glows a miraculous, shimmering white, before he swiftly brought his hand in a downward slash motion, all while his pickaxe was still forming.
*SLICE!*
"SKREEEEEEEEEEK!"
The monster skreeches in pain as his fry appendage gets cut off.
It was at this moment the monster knew, Y/N was no ordinary human... Although he might look like it.
Before a hard to explain, and epic battle sequence could commence, Y/N cuts out short... Literally.
Y/N throws his pickaxe horizontally towards the monster, ultimately decapitating it.
It may seem like a cheap shot, but Y/N has lived a life of cheapness... If that makes sense.
And so... With an anticlimactic battle...
*Thud*
The monster collapses, not even able to make a noise.
...
...
"Steven, I found a pet"
Y/N says, before opening his palm and revealing a waving glove.
...
"Oh... Wow! It's so cuuuute!"
