Imagine after the events of Fusion Cuisine Connie nervously explains to her parents as much as she knows about Steven and the Gems, because now they’ve met the Gems, and even more then that she never wants Steven to think she’s ashamed of him ever again. 

And they look serious after she’s finished, and she has to sit and nervously hope they wont say she can’t see him again, and why do they look so *serious*, aaaaahhhhh!! 

And then finally her mom taps her chin and says…

“Do you think he’s eating right?”

“Huh? Um. I th-think so? I mean, he always has food…”

“Not like that- I mean, is it possible his differentiated biology means theres some… vitamin or minerals he might not be getting enough of. Let alone the potential for food allergies.”

“M-maybe?” And connie glances between her mom and her dad, who are discussing that really if the gems don’t eat they would probably not know what to look for. And Connie is confused, but happy, because this is how she knows her parents show they care about something. 

And the next time she goes over to his place she’s sent along with a bag of mineral supplements and a note from her mom saying he should probably avoid alkaline solutions.
