It had felt like an eternity since Connie watched Steven drive off into the sunset. Since that time, she had coped with the absence of her boyfriend as best she could. She was still talking to him online and keeping in touch with him. But it wasn’t the same as actually being with him.

That day, she was visiting the Crystal Gems for a reunion. It hadn’t been that long, but she was still needing their company. It was a rare day she had a day off from studying and schooling and she was more than happy to take advantage of it. Little Homeworld was as nice to look at, and all the other gems busy at work were a far cry from the menace of Homeworld and the corrupted creatures she used to square off with. But she knew where she was headed.

The Crystal Gems’ temple. It was dusk when she got there, the sky fallen to an amber shade. It reminded her too much of when she and Steven first fused on the sands so long ago. She sighed, remembering that day. How forlorn everything seemed. It had been so much long ago, but it felt like that much longer indeed. She was hoping that she would be able to keep it together.

It was the heat that was bothering her most of all. She remembered how Steven would actually wear a jacket here in Beach City. Not her, not now, right now she was wearing short side stripe shorts and a small little white t-shirt that exposed her midriff and made a great contrast against her dark skin. Back when she first met Steven, she never thought she’d be wearing something like this, but then again, it was for comfort, not to attract attention. Not to mention, she had seen other people around wearing far less, and she had made an effort to ignore all the catcalls. Six months since then, the summer was in.

Didn’t keep people from trying to get with her. In the distance she heard Ronaldo calling, “There is a strange creature with peculiar bumps on it’s body. It must be a demon from another dimension!” She was almost blindsided by someone getting in front of her, and then she realized it was Kevin. He was smiling and pointing his fingers at her, trying to be a player, only to get shoved aside. “Oooh, hard to get!” he said, still keeping his distance like the poser he was. Not to mention if any of them got handsy, Connie knew she could put them in their place. She sighed though, only wishing Steven would be around to see her like this, and all the fun they could have. She wouldn’t be down for too long. Not when she felt herself being grabbed by someone. Her warrior training under Pearl wasn’t enough to fight back. They were rolling around and then she was on her back upon the sandy floor.

Not that she’d be thinking about it for long. When she saw who it was, she smiled.

“Amethyst!”

“Hey ... you? Do I know you?”

“It’s me, Connie!”

“Really? Wow, how long has it been?”

“Six months.”

“Dang, that long huh?” She got up off her. “I mean that really isn’t that long compared to how long we’ve been alive, but ... are you sure you’re Connie?”

“Yeah I’m sure I’m me!” She stood up. “What gives?”

“Oh Amethyst, it’s so good that you’ve found Garnet!”

That was Pearl’s voice, coming from right behind her.

“P, this isn’t Garnet. I mean, do you really think Connie would ever have hair like hers anytime soon?”

“But ... Connie would never look like that, I mean...”

Pearl sound totally shocked. Connie didn’t know what her former mentor was implying. She looked at Amethyst, who by now she noticed had a funny look on her face too. Then she burst out laughing.

“What is so funny?” Connie said.

“Sorry, sorry!” said Amethyst. “It’s just that I didn’t recognize you at first either! Not with all this going on up front!” She whistled and then said in a low voice, “And what’s going on in back too...”

Connie blushed. “What are you implying?”

“Oh that voice, it is Connie!” Pearl said, sounding very relieved now. “I was beginning to think you were becoming corrupted Amethyst! But Connie ... have you been taking care of yourself lately? I mean you weren’t always go big down there ... those things on your chest ... and your hips there so ... only Garnet has ever had such wide ones...”

Connie turned around to look at Pearl. Her former instructor in the sword was already all flushed but as soon as she got a look at Connie up front, her whole face was colored in a blue tinge. She turned away awkwardly.

“Pearl, is everything okay?”

“Connie! I mean, um ... it’s so good to see you again! I just ... is this a thing that happens to all you humans? You were never so um ... what’s the word?”

Amethyst busted out laughing on the spot. Connie didn’t know if it was at her expense or she was just cackling at Pearl. Either way, Connie started blushing too.

Then Amethyst put her hands around her mouth and shouted, “Hey Peridot, get a load of this! Look at Pearl!”

“Peridot’s here too?” said Connie, looking around. She looked around at all the other gems around her but couldn’t pinpoint her location. Still looking around, it was a shock when she heard the little gem’s voice.

“Intriguing,” said Peridot, who by now was right at her side. Connie looked down on the little gremlin who didn’t even seem to be paying attention to Connie’s face, just looking at her body. “I had no idea that humans could shapeshift in such a way.”

“I didn’t shapeshift.”

“Then how else do you explain these uh ... big bumps on your body?”

“What?”

“I think what she means to say Connie is that you got THICC!” said Amethyst.

“Well that ... that’s just a growth spurt okay!” said Connie.

“A growth spurt?” said Peridot, suddenly feeling very jealous being a flat chested green little runt. “What an interesting concept. You must explain it to me...”

“I think the real concept here is Pearl!” said Amethyst. She sidelined next to Connie and said, “I think she likes you.”

“Likes me? You mean...”

“Oh come along Connie!” said Pearl, going up and taking her by the arm. “It’s been so long, we have to celebrate this reunion!”

Connie was surprised by how strongly Pearl was dragging her. For looking like such a frail waif, she had a lot of strength in her. Despite all the time she spent around the gems, she still had yet to realize just how much stronger even the tiniest one was in comparison to your average human. And Pearl was constantly looking back at her with a flighty smile.

Whoa, I think Amethyst is onto something.

Just as Connie had that thought, she felt two hands grab her butt. Looking back, she saw Amethyst fondling her rump. Connie blushed and was about to say something but then she was in the living room of the temple. Then Pearl had her sit down.

Pearl was sitting down alongside her. She was looking down with a nervous smile on her face, and was fidgeting with her hands. Amethyst and Peridot also sat down, the former still laughing while the latter scrutinizing her with a keen eye.

“Guys, are you alright?”

Pearl didn’t answer, just kept on fidgeting. Meanwhile Amethyst leaned forward and said, “So Connie, you still with Steven, or did you finally move on?”

“What? Of course I’m still with Steven!” She sighed. “I really miss him...”

“Well it doesn’t have to be that way.” She traced one of her fingers on Connie’s hand. “If you know what I mean.”

“You can’t be serious...”

Sneaking a side eye at Pearl, who was now looking straight at the purple gem, Amethyst just looked right back at Connie and now playfully moved her fingers on her hand. “Dead serious. Especially with the way you’re dressed.”

“It’s hot around this time of year! And there’s plenty of people all over the beach wearing way less than I am!”

Amethyst took that hand off Connie’s and slammed it into a fist on the table right at Pearl. “Well it’s not fair for poor P over here, is it? Look at her!”

Despite all her progress since the start of Steven’s journey, Pearl was looking like she was going to have a nervous breakdown on the spot. She was doing everything in her power to look away from everyone. Then finally she looked up and said, “Connie, no matter how much you’ve grown as humans tend to do, I WILL not think of you in that way! It would be disrespectful to Steven, who I am sworn to uphold.”

“But Steven ain’t here P,” said Amethyst.

“Interesting,” said Peridot, who was still standing up and looking over Connie. “The last time I saw you, you were not nearly this developed! Not only in the chest and posterior regions, but even here in the lower limbs.”

“What?” said Connie.

“She’s saying you got legs girl!” said Amethyst. “Don’t you think so too, Pearl?”

“Well...” She was still looking away, but there was a blue tinge on her cheeks.

Despite the awkwardness of the situation, Connie was starting to get in on the shenanigans. Felt a bit vain too. Standing up, she flipped her hair back and said, “Am I really that fabulous?”

Finally Pearl broke and standing up said, “Yes, Connie, yes! You’re so beautiful! I never thought my little apprentice would grow up to be so tall and gorgeous and ... oh you have no idea how lonely I’ve been!”

“Wow, way TMI Pearl,” said Amethyst.

“And I just ... I...”

“Please, for the love of everything, don’t start singing,” mused Peridot.

Amethyst laughed so hard she actually snorted. “Say Connie, did you and Steven ever go the extra mile?”

“That’s even more TMI, Amethyst!” said Connie.

“That’s a no then, P!”

“Connie!” Pearl said, standing up as straight as possible. “As your teacher, and as Steven’s sworn protector, I must make sure you are ready to satisfy him in all ways possible.”

“Satisfy him?” said Connie.

“Yes, satisfy him?” said Peridot. “Curious. I have often heard humans say such things and no verbal definition has ever satisfied me. Perhaps I would need a more visual demonstration to...”

Pearl would satisfy that request alright. Before Peridot could ramble further, Pearl pounced on Connie, pushing her to the floor. That was surprising enough for Connie, but what really took her by surprise was how hard Pearl was kissing her. After how clearly frustrated she was, Pearl locking lips with her didn’t surprise her. What did take her by surprise was Pearl’s tongue actually in her mouth.

She couldn’t really do much but sit there and take it. At that point, Connie was well aware of just how stronger even the weakest gem was compared to your average human. She was learning that again firsthand as Pearl’s tongue deeply explored all over her mouth.

In between one of those deep kisses, Connie gasped. It was enough to bring some notion of reason back to Pearl. She looked down at her former student with concern.

“Oh Connie, I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean to go that far! It’s just that I’ve been so lonely...”

“Uh, um, it’s okay Pearl,” she said, still a little dazed. “I just ... wow...”

“Yeah P, she’s with Steven,” said Amethyst. She nudged her with her elbow, the white gem was still on top of Connie. “Better luck next time, huh?” she said, hoping she’d get the hint.

“Oh sorry!” said Pearl, standing up.

Connie stood up right alongside her. Both of them were looking away from each other, still a bit flustered after what happened. Peridot was watching the situation curiously while Amethyst had a big dumb smile on her face. The latter gem scooted on over to the both of them and grabbing their necks, pulled them close together with her in the middle.

“Now isn’t this just romantic?”

“Amethyst, I am a proud gem and I would never fall for a human!”

“Hear that Connie? She doesn’t like you in that way. You’re just there to fill a void in her life.”

“Well I didn’t exactly mean it like that either...”

“Well you didn’t kiss like it was nothing,” said Connie, feeling a little more sassy. “I’ve never been kissed like that before in my whole life!”

Pearl perked up. “Not even by Steven?”

Connie blushed. “N-no...?”

Amethyst was watching the whole scene with bated breath. Finally Connie straightened up. “You know, you’re so much like a mom Pearl. You’ve been more of a mom to me than my actual mom, but I think you should still act like it.”

That had the exact opposite effect of what was intended. “So you’re saying your actual mom never kissed you like that?” she said.

“Of course not!”

“Then as your mother figure, I will take it upon myself to teach you all the ins and outs of the art of pleasure!”

“Say what?”

That was the last thing she said before Pearl pounced on her again. “I am going to mother the shit out of you, Connie! By the time we’re done here, when Steven gets back here, you’re going to make him the happiest he’s ever been so he stays here for the rest of his life!”

Needless to say, Connie couldn’t do much to resist the horny gem on top of her. Pearl was kissing all over her face, licking and sucking on her cheeks, while moving her hands up her shirt to feel up her big tits too. Not to mention she was grinding on top of her too.

“Pearl, come on!” said Connie.

“Don’t you ‘come on’ me!” Pearl said, in between slobbering all over Connie’s face. “It’s not appropriate to be so fast and needy when it comes to sex! You must be slow and gentle.”

Pearl being anything but slow and gentle was very painfully apparent to everyone there. Connie felt it most of all, maybe it was the sheer vigor in the way she was fondling her tits, her nipples were already standing up on end, or getting another mouthful of Pearl’s tongue, but she was getting excited faster than she expected. She could only lick back inside of her mentor’s mouth as best she could.

Pearl caught herself at the last minute. Still on top of Connie, nonetheless she sat herself back up. “Oh Connie, I’m so sorry! I got carried away there...”

Connie breathed hard. The raw feelings of lust were still sitting there on her. The heat in her chest, her nipples standing up on end, remembering Pearl fondling her so righteously and the wetness growing in her twat, and the fresh taste of her on her tongue. She sat there, not really looking at anyone.

Then she pushed Pearl back. Standing up, Connie proudly took her shirt off, revealing her dark breasts to everyone there. Pearl and Amethyst’s jaws dropped on the spot, they really had gotten big, and her swollen nipples standing up on end were almost black. Even Peridot was getting an eyeful.

“Sorry P, but I’m feeling real greedy!” said Amethyst, and getting in there, took one of the tits into her mouth.

“Oh no you don’t!” said Pearl, taking the other teat into her mouth.

Connie bit her lip from the sheer bliss of their mouths sucking on her tits. Neither of them were being gentle, Pearl was sucking on them fast, using a whole lot of tongue, while Amethyst did indeed get quite greedy, using her teeth all over her ripe mounds. At the same time, both gems were feeling up Connie hard, her naked torso, her long legs. And it was Pearl who first grabbed her butt.
