When you’re younger, all you do is wish to be older. Well, when you possess an alien gem overflowing with magic, looking older is significantly easier. All Connie and Steven wanted to do was see the PG-13 film, The Unfamiliar Familiar. Unfortunately, even morphed together the pair can’t mange to score a ticket to the film.

While strolling down the street, the morphed “Stevonnie” accidentally run headfirst into Kiki. They somehow end up spending the day shopping until they drop, before inadvertently agreeing to go to the prom as Kiki’s date. A fact they only realize in the middle of a slow dance. Now, the combined “teen” is facing the hardest problem known to humankind...avoiding a situation without hurting anyone’s feelings. Can they manage to succeed where so many have failed?

Melanie Gillman has created a truly heartwarming story, full of friendship and heart. While the art provided by Katy Farina brings the entire comic to life. Don’t miss out on the latest issue in the new Steven Universe series! Head to your local comic shop and grab your copy today.
