Beach City-Three Years From The Present

Steven once again found himself in Beach City, but it was mid-day. Still in his disguise, he walked around.

Then, he saw himself from three years in the past, sitting next to Connie on the boardwalk.

"*Gasp*. It's me… Again…"

Steven shapeshifted once again, this time into a red cardinal. He flew over to Steven and Connie and looked down on them. They were smiling and holding hands.

"I can't wait for our wedding." said younger Steven.

Connie smiled too.

"Yeah. I'm happy that we finally get to be together."

Steven put his other hand over Connie's hand and raised it.

"I love you."

Connie replied.

"I love you too."

The two kissed. Bird Steven smiled and flew away. He flew over to an alley and landed. He morphed back into his original form. He took out the hourglass and examined it.

"Alright. I've gone through many different time periods, and talked to my younger self. I think that's enough time travel. Take me to Athens, Greece, present day."

Steven found himself back at the Acropolis, where he was before all this time travel happened. He saw standing in front of him Connie, talking to Peridot about Greek Mythology.

"Yes! I made it back to the present!" thought Steven.

Steven turned to see something out of place. He saw towering before him a statue of himself. Large biceps, rock hard abs, and also naked… All he was wearing was an Ancient Greek war helmet over his forehead, with him holding his shield down on his left hand, next to a little bush.

"Oh… I'm naked…"

He looked at the plaque on the statue.

Ares, God of War

"Oh…"

He then saw a statue of Rose Quartz, holding a cloth on her lower body, but nothing on her upper body. Steven looked away, closed his eyes, and put his hands in front of him.

"Oh, why'd they have to carve mom naked too?!"

He opened his eyes to see the plaque in front of the statue. He leaned down and read it.

Aphrodite, Goddess of Love

He saw a statue of what looked like Pearl, looking just like he saw her in Ancient Greece. She had her right hand on her hip, and her other hand pointing down to the floor.

Athena, Goddess of Wisdom and War

Then there was a statue of Amethyst, also wearing the same attire as she did in Ancient Greece. She held a deer's horns with her left hand, and was reaching for an arrow from her quiver with her right hand.

Artemis, Goddess of the Hunt

And finally, on a piece of ancient pottery was Garnet, sitting on a chair, sprinkling magic onto grains of wheat that a woman, kneeling before her, is holding.

Just then, Connie called to Steven.

"Hey Steven! We're going back home now!"

Steven replied.

"Alright! Coming!"

Steven turned back to the statue of his mother and smiled. He remembered about the hourglass. He took it out and stared into it.

"Sorry, but this journey is over."

Steven threw the hourglass down onto the hard ground, shattering it to pieces. He ran to the others.

On the bottom of the Acropolis, the crew walked up to a warp pad. Steven looked up to the towering Acropolis and smiled.

"Let's say bye to Greece!" he said.

Everyone waved goodbye and said "Goodbye Greece!".

The warp pad glowed, and they departed Athens…

The End…
