The rest of the movie and forever after that:

Day 4! “Kiss”

Spinel: Good evening, sir, welcome to Applebee's. Would you like the apple or the bees?

Kevin: Bees?

Spinel: HE HAS SELECTED THE BEES.

Kevin: Wait--

Steven: *approaches shaking a jar of bees vigorously*

Hey you

Show me that solvable problem

We can get through this

I’ll do the hardest part 

Some “finally knows how to deal with her issues in healthy ways” Spinel. Also my thought process on how I designed it!

Edit: I listened to “Bust Your Kneecaps” while making the design so here’s a more accurate depiction to go with the song

A/N: Remember how I said I’d rather write then yammer? Well, here it is. Consider this my final word about why Steven and Spinel could be great together.

A Not So Very ‘Play’ Date

Spinel slung her scythe through the air, favouring the greater speed of a short swing over the power of a longer one. 

Steven blocked. The blow glanced away. Spinel struck again; fast and low. Blocked. 

Steven had an answer for everything Spinel could throw at him, even when her attacks began to blend together. It seemed like they’d be stuck in a stalemate forever, but that could change at any moment. 

This time, Spinel was fighting smart. Her attacks seemed chaotic, but there was a pattern hiding just under the surface. 

Down, up, up, up, Down, down, up, up, up, down 

With luck, Steven hadn’t realized he was being lured into a dance with her. She’d teach him how to tango, and then…  

Without warning, Spinel reversed. Slashing down when she had previously gone up. Steven realized his mistake split seconds after he’d made it, but by then, it was too late. He’d given her an opening. 

Spinel hit him with a massive swing, stunning him long enough for her to shift into a flurry of unblockable combos. He went down hard. Two bright yellow letters flashed up on the screen.
