It was a cold and snowy day in beach city. I awoke and looked out the window to see a blanket of snow had fell over night. I walk downstairs and see Pearl, Amethyst, and Garnet returning through the teleporter. "Oh, good morning Steven did you sleep well" Pearl asked. "Oh hi guys, yeah i did" I replied. "So do you guys have anything for us to do today?" I asked. "Hmm nope, today looks like a free day to me" Garnet said. "Ok looks like i will have to find something to do today" I replied. I then proceed to fix some pancakes with strawberries and whipped cream. As soon as i finished my breakfast I head back up to my room and grab some clean close out of my closet. I head to the bathroom to get ready for the day. I take a nice hot shower, put on my clothes, and brush my teeth, now i'm ready for the day. About that time i hear my phone ring. Its Connie! "Hey Steven, its Connie, i was wondering if you where busy today. My school is closed today because of the snow, do you wanna come over?" Connie asked me with a sweet tone in her voice. "Sure, sounds like a lot of fun!" I replied. I grab my coat and put on my boots then head out the door and jump in my car, I was on my way to Connie's house!

I pull into the driveway of the Maheswaran residence and in the doorway i see Connie eagerly awaiting my arrival. I get out of my car and walk up to the door where i greet Connie with a hug where i pick her up off here feet and swirl her around. "Im so glad you could come over to day Steven! why don't we go inside where its where its warmer". We head inside and head into the kitchen where Connie prepares us a snack of a pb&j sandwich and some hot coco."This is really good, Thanks Connie. Also how did you convince your parents to let me to let me come over when they're not home? " I asked. "Yyyyeeeeaaaahhh here's the thing... they don't know." Connie said in a sneaky tone. "But but what if they catch us and won't let me see you anymore" I replied in a worried tone. "Relax Steven, all we have to do is make sure you leave before my parents get home, it'll be fine." She reassured me. "Ok, if you say so." I replied in a slightly worried tone. We head up into her room where we we play some street fighter 4, its Connie's favorite game and i really like it to. I pick Ryu while she picks chun li, her favorite character. She is a lot better at the game than i am so she kicks my butt repeatedly. After an hour of chatting while playing the game we decided to watch her favorite Pixar move "Inside out". She pops in the movie and proceeds to lay in her bed and cuddle up with me while we watch the movie. "Who's your favorite character?" Connie asked me. "Probably sadness, I feel so sorry for her" I replied. "I like Joy, she reminds me of you Steven", we both giggle. The saddest part of the movie came on and Connie started to cry. "I always cry at this part" she said. since I already had my arm around her I proceeded to give her a big hug. "Thank you Steven, I can always count on you" She tole me. That made me feel all worm and fuzzy inside, i mean i had never felt like this for anyone other than her. I think i love her. Once the movie was over Connie asked me if I wanted to dance and i agreed. She went over to her cd player and put on
the song "I've just seen a face" by The Beatles. We start dancing to the song. After the song was over we go downstairs and lookout side, to our shock it had been snowing non-stop since i had arrived, we where snowed in.

About that time Connie's phone rang, it was her mother and father. "Hey sweetie, this is mom, we cant get home because of the snow, don't worry about me or your father, we met up at a hotel just outside of town. Stay safe sweetie" Connie's mom said to her. "You to mom, love you, bye" Connie said as she hung up the phone. Well Steven, it looks like you're stuck with me for awhile. We both giggle. "I'm getting pretty hungry and it is suppertime soooo do you wanna go help me cook?" Connie asked with a sweet tone in her voice. "Sure" I replied. We proceed to go into the kitchen where Connie takes out a pan from the cabinet. While i take the carton of eggs out of the refrigerator along with a pack of bacon. "Nothing like breakfast for supper" she said. I agreed. Connie then turns the front burner of the stove on and poor's cooking oil in the pan while i crack the eggs and put them in the pan along with the bacon. I poor us both a glass of water to drink with our supper, Connie takes the food out of the pan and fixes us both a plate. I hand her her drink and she hands me my plate. We head into the living room where we both sit on the couch to eat. Connie turns on the T.V and puts on the Bo Burnham comedy special that was on that night, He is both Connie and I's favorite comedian. Once we both finish eating I take both of our plates and glasses into the kitchen to wash them and put them away while Connie finishes watching the special. "Thank you again for the food Connie" I told her. "You helped to silly" She replied. I sit back down and cuddle up next to Connie to watch the rest of the special. But i felt different, my heart was racing, I looked into her eye's and felt a since of love i had never felt for anyone before. At that moment I knew she was the girl for me. "I think i'm ready for bed Steven you coming?" Connie asked me. "S...sure" I said as i had never slept in the same bed as her before. We head upstairs to her room, "Now wait out here while i change into my pajamas, i can't have you peeping on me now can I?" Connie said in a playful tone. At this point my face is beat red and I am sweating profusely, after all i'm going to be sleeping in the same bed as the girl i have a huge crush on. When i walk in I notice that Connie's wearing some baggy pajama pant's and the Street fighter tee i got her for her last birthday. "I knew you where like the shirt" she said. We both climb in bed and pull up the covers. *Connie kisses me on the cheek* "I love you Steven" She said. My heart was pounding so hard i though it was going to burst out of my chest. I kiss her on the lips and say "i love you to Connie." We proceed to fall asleep in each others arms.

When I woke up I noticed Connie wasn't there. I walked downstairs to find her in the kitchen, she had prepared breakfast for me while i was asleep. "Good morning Steven" she said in a loving tone. "Good morning" I replied. I set down and start eating breakfast with Connie. "So about last night... what did it mean? I mean the kisses does that mean you love me?" I said in a hesitant tone. "What do you want it to mean?" Connie said staring deep into my eye's . "I love you Connie, I want it to mean you love me to." I said in a hushed tone. Connie got up from the table and gave me a kiss that lasted 20 seconds. "So i guess that means where boyfriend and girlfriend now huh?" I said as soon as the kiss ended. "Hehe yeah." Connie replied" We then proceed to finish our breakfast and then I helped Connie wash the dishes. As soon as we finished washing the dishes the power goes out. "Just great, now what are we gonna do today" Connie says. "Well we could just spend time together and talk" I suggest. "Sounds great Connie replies. We head into the living room where it was only lit by the daylight shining through the windows. We both take a seat and proceed to talk to each other. We talked about where we see ourselves in 10 years. Connie told me she wanted to be a Doctor just like her mom and I said I still want to be with the Crystal Gems and play music on the side. We talked about kids and if we wanted any. Not that we would be trying anytime soon as we are only 16, but its still important to talk about stuff like that with your partner. "Ya know even though we just started dating, I feel like we have been for years. I guess deep down i knew i loved you, I was just to scared to admit it" Connie Said, "Same here" I replied. We Continued to talk to each other for several more hours until it got dark. "Well we might as well go to bed, we don't have anything better to do." I suggest. Connie agrees and we head upstairs carefully as there is no light other than the moonlight that is coming from the windows. We lay down and Connie starts kissing my neck as i playful nip her right ear. Connie lays on top of me as we start to make out, This goes on for about 45 mins until Connie tells me she is tired and ready for bed. We cuddle up next to each other and fall asleep in each others arms for the second night in a row.

We wake up to the sound of car doors slamming shut. It was Connie's parents returning home. Unknown to us, the snow and ice had melted enough the day prior. I scramble to get my things all packed and ready to leave in a hurry. "Once my parents come in i'll walk down and distraction them while you jump out the window, don't worry you'll land in the remaining snow" Connie said in a panicked tone. "I... If you say so" I said. I watched Connie walk down the stairs and greet her parents at the door. Once they where busy talking about her being snowed in "by her self" open her window and jump out. My heart skipped a beat as i fell from the second story window, but i landed safely in the snow. I proceed to sneek to my car which is parked a few houses down the street. Once i get to my car and start making my way back to beach city I think to myself "I'm so glad you are apart of my universe Connie, and i hope you always will be."
