driftfleet | First Hot Dog [Video]

Who: Steven Universe and You!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Marsiva
When: Today!

[Steven has some very mixed feelings about waking up in outer space. On one hand, it's space! He's so excited to be in outer space!

But that is dampened a bit by the conflicting feeling. The last time he was being taken to space, he was being captured and it was a Very Bad Thing.

The tiny child paces around uncertainly, trying to look for any sign of friend or foe. At least he doesn't seem to be in a prison cell this time. Maybe this isn't so bad?

When he finds the video feed, he'll prod at it uncertainly, while trying to be brave.]

Hey! Is anyone there?

Um... This is a nice spaceship! I really like it, and I always wanted to go on a space adventure. But I have important things going on back home, so it would be nice to save the space vacation for later!

[Then he frets a little more and looks around uncertainly.]

Un-unless I'm here 'cuz you're one of the guys that wants to do bad things on Earth. If that's it, then... Can we please just talk?

[Fenris thinks decidedly otherwise, but he likes Steven, so he won't haggle. ]

As you say, Steven. If it helps you, I suppose.

Yep! [It just doesn't feel depressing enough for him.]

Thanks for explaining all these things to me. So if you knew me already, does that mean we were really great buds?

Great...buds.

[He says that carefully, because wow, he never uses that to describe his relationship with anyone. ]

We are friends, if that is what you mean. It was earned, on your part.

It was?! I'm really glad to hear that! I hope do that good this time around, too!

I'm sure that you will. It appears to be in your nature.

Yay, I have a friendly nature!!

[After that cheer, he poses dramatically.]

Alright, Fenris. Or should I say, Friend-ris? I'm ready for Our Friendship 2: The Friendening! Let's get this show on the road!

Excessively so.

[He groans at the pun. Steven, no. ]

If you wish. [Yeah, he has no idea what to do, that's all on you, little buddy. ]

I do!

Thanks. I'd say we're off to a great start!

Hmm. It would appear so, yes.

Great! So you can call if you ever need me. If you wanna hang out, or play a game, or if you need guidance in life or if you want advice on any crushes you have! I'm a really versatile friend, I promise, and I'll be glad to help you every single time!

That is very versatile.

I'll bear that all in mind, thank you, Steven.

Thanks! [He declares proudly.]

And thank you for being a friend. I think this ends our first official new friendship talk. Keep up the great work and take care, Fenris!

[He'll probably still mentally call him Friendris.]

[Why this. He never asked for this. ]

You also, Steven.
