《Steven Universe: The Return [FanFiction English]》10- It's Your Fault
Advertisement
(Steven and Jasper warp into the conservatory. Then Steven tries to contact the Diamonds on the diamond control panel, but none of them pick up their communicator.)
It's strange that none of the three pick up their communicator. Tch, where did they go on vacation? *turns to Jasper* Do you know any place in the universe to vacation?
I don't even know what "vacation" means.
I see. Well, I'll try to get in touch with them later. *takes out his phone* I have to make another call anyway... *calls someone else, who answers the phone almost instantly*
*through the phone* Hello, Steven, how have you been?
Bad, very bad, therapist!
Huh? What happened?
*enraged* Because of YOU I'm in a terrible situation right now!
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Slow down, boy! What are you talking about?
I did everything you told me about personal relaxation, and because of that my friends are in danger right now.
Hold on a sec! What do you mean your friends are in danger because of your personal relaxation? What does one thing have to do with the other?
While I was relaxing, my friends asked me for help and since you told me to relax without worrying about anything or anyone, so I didn't help them and now everything is a disaster.
Other than your relaxation, did you have any other inconvenience for not helping them?
Hmm... no, I didn't.
So... you say you had the ability to help without inconvenience, right?
Well, yeah.
Then it's your fault, not mine.
What do you mean?!
Personal relaxation is important, nut if a friend asks for your help and you have the ability to help, you stop relaxing for a moment, help your friend, and then pick up the relaxation right where you left off.
*angered* That's not what you told me before!!

It's something you had to figure out for yourself, it's just common sense
What?!
I'll give you a simple example: You are hungry, you have no money to buy something to eat, you go with a friend and he lends you money, on the way you meet someone who also needs money, what would you do?
...
In the first session, you would have answered that you would give the money without a second thought. Yeah, it's a good deed and you feel good about yourself, but then that brings up both physical and mental consequences, because you're still hungry, you have no money, and now you owe someone else. You understand that, right?
Yes, I... understand.
That's your biggest problem, you don't have a balance.
Huh?
You have to be honest with people and let them know that you really can't help them, not force yourself to help when you can't, and not behave like a selfish, insensitive person who won't help even though you can.
...
You have to create a balance between helping others and helping yourself, you can't always put other people's needs before your own. I'm not saying that it's wrong for you to do so, on the contrary, it's very good for you to be a selfless person; however, all excess is bad. It's hard, but that's reality.
It doesn't help me to know that now, I'm in big trouble and I don't know what to do!
Sure, it's easier to blame others. *sighs* I think I jumped the gun on discharging you, do you want to continue with the therapy sessions from today onwards, or would you prefer tomorrow?
I don't have time for that!! Right now I'm the only one who can solve this big problem!!! BYE!!! *ends the call abruptly*

Rekindle
My Newest, and at the same time, Oldest novel. This is a Rewrite of my very first novel that I begun when I was just starting out. It follows the story of Mark Floyd, a broken man who once tried to do what he thought was right... only to be stabbed in the back and thrown away.Now, pulled into a conflict that spans time and space, Mark has a choice to make; Stand up once more, even if it means facing an unknowable future, or let the Embers of his heart die and sink back into darkness. ----------------------------------- “For gold is tried in the fire, and acceptable men in the furnace of adversity”. Once part of a Special Ops team in the US Army, Mark Floyd thought he had seen the worst that Humanity had to offer. That was until his final mission, one that would leave him a broken and shattered man, betrayed by the Country he served, and abandoned by society as a whole. His dreams filled with nightmares of the ones he failed to protect, mind and memories clouded by booze and more, Mark finds himself stumbling through life without purpose or desire. Life isn't done with Mark yet, however. For as long as even a single ember remains in a persons heart, here is still yet hope for the flames of Passion and Hope to be Rekindled. When the dying embers of Mark's heart catches the eyes of a Being far beyond his understanding, Mark finds himself thrown into a situation not even his years of training could prepare him for. Will this new chance be Mark's hope at both Redemption and Recompense? Or will it simply be the final nail in the coffin for a man already dead to the World? [This is a rework of my very first story. The general story will remain the same, however a few details have been tweaked, the chapters have be Edited better and some chapters have been broken down into smaller chunks for better flow and consistency. The biggest change will be to the System itself; It will be a lot less "Game-like", meaning no stats, levels or similar aspect, though skills will still be present in the form of "Programs". Instead, It'll focus more on the Sigil's nature as super-computers and how they change the world around them. This should make for a much more "natural" and less info-dumpy system.
