Talk:Too Short to Ride/@comment-29834666-20160118184228

Okay this is random and probably not what's gonna happen but

Steven is finally unbanned from funland but they put a minimum height thing on all the rides so Steven is too short too ride. Peridot is too, which sucks because he wanted to show her the rides. BUT!!

Steven has an idea: Shapeshift to appear taller while in line! (and put Peridot on stilts) They get right in, Steven returns to normal shape, and they ride on some crazy wooden ride with loops and stuff (maybe like El Loco but longer and made of wood?). Peridot starts screaming at some point.

Of course, there's a reason for the minimum height. Steven's fine--he's fat so he can't slip out--but Peridot's skinny, so during a particularly intense sideways turn loop she gets thrown out. Steven doesn't notice at first, but then the ride is suddenly stopped because Mr. Smiley saw Peridot go flying out and if that happens you stop the roller coaster of course. Steven sees that Peridot is gone and freaks out.

Actually everyone freaks out. Understandable, I'd freak out too if I was on a roller coaster and I saw a girl go flying right out. Peridot crashes headfirst into some rocks a long distance away (she's pretty light so she soars far). Everyone--and I mean EVERYONE--goes to see if she's okay, someone calls an ambulance and Steven rushes over to Peri and tells everyone to stay back while he checks her.

The impact would've broken her gem pretty bad, as well as caused severe injury to her form (twisted limbs and all). The only reason she hasn't poofed? Instinct is telling her to hold on as long as possible, because she has no way of knowing if she'd be able to regenerate again. Steven would gather any pieces of her gem that broke off and he'd stick them all in the crack. Tears would be shed in massive numbers, probably.

An ambulance would arrive but Steven wouldn't let them take Peridot. Why should he? Humans don't know how to deal with wounded gems. Steven would carry her to the temple and, making the assumption that his healing powers still don't work, he would head off to his mother's fountain.

Steven would lay Peridot down in the healing waters, expecting it to heal her instantly. But--plot twist--Rose's fountain is rigged to not work on certain gems that were not officially registered as Crystal before Rose died. So, it doesn't work. Steven freaks out. He thinks Peridot's gonna die. He hugs her close.

Then like...kiss

and peridots all better now yey
