Really sweet. Just... a good, nice kid. He thought the world of the Gems, you know. Moving in with them used to be all he talked about. We built him a little house, you know? Right in front of the temple entrance. He used to live with me before that in the van and I'd dress him in my unsold tee shirts.
And once his room was built--that's what we called the little house, Steven's room--I'd come over before bed and tuck him in and read him something about space and then I'd walk back to my van.
You know, he wrote a theme song for the Crystal Gems? And he played it for them on his little ukelele. I don't have my guitar anymore for some reason, so I can't play you the chords, but it went something like this:
If you're evil and you're on the rise You can count on the four of us taking you down 'Cause we're good and evil never beats us! We'll win the fight and then go out for pizzas!
[Somewhere in the course of the song, Greg's started to snap his fingers to the beat.]
We-- Are the Crystal Gems And we'll always save the day And if you think we can't We'll-- Always find a way That's why the people of this world Believe in Garnet, Amethyst, And Pearl-- And Steven!

We--
Are the Crystal Gems
And we'll always save the day
And if you think we can't
We'll--
Always find a way
That's why the people of this world
Believe in
Garnet, Amethyst,
And Pearl--
And Steven!
[He laughs.]
It sounds better when he sings it, though.
