When 'Mean Lapis,' who had since been nicknamed Curly, came to Earth and took up bowling as a hobby, the Crystal Gems had thought she'd turned a new leaf. Alas, just as soon as she got her hands on an old Homeworld Matter Transmogrifier, she made her aim of getting them involved in her new sport quite clear. And she's very good at getting strikes...

UPDATE: Story provided by  gojiro7!

Back on earth, a normal day on beach city pier is interrupted when suddenly the buildings everywhere suddenly turn into bowling lanes and the people of town turned into bowling pins with their likeness's flattened onto their solid pin frame, trapping them inside that form. The Crystal gems arrive to help as Stevonnie , Garnet, Pearl, Amethyst, Peridot, Lapis, and Bismuth ready for a fight as Curly bowl walks in loving the sound of her shoes tapping on the solid waxed wooden floor that used to be a town, by her side is Freckles dressed in the same bowling outfit as Curly Bowl, with a smile on her face and a blank stare as Curly Bowl tells her, "it looks as though some party crashers are trying to ruin my fun, be a good "friend" and deal with them"

Freckles nods her head and charges into battle not with her water powers but with a simple bowling ball as Curly Bowl sits back and enjoys the fun as Freckles attacks the Crystal Gems who have gotten a bit rusty when it comes to fighting as they don't want to really hurt her, but as Stevonnie , Lapis and Pearl hang back to make a plan, they suddenly realize Garnet, Amethyst, Bismuth, and Peridot are missing, they look over at Curly Bowl and see Four pins floating around her, while they were busy fighting Freckles, their friends were being turned into bowling pins one by one as Curly Bowl smugly laughs with delight as Pearls anger bubbles to the surface as she charges at them with her spear ready to pop them screaming "I will not let you have my Frieeeen......." only to suddenly disappear briefly and just as quickly re-appear as a pin, her flattened drawn on expression being that of joy as deep within the pin, Pearl and all the others are forced to feel nothing but joy over what they've become as each of them mentally praise and thank Curly Bowl for turning them into bowling pins, hopping to be hit by a ball.

All thats left is Lapis and Stevonnie, Lapis tries to talk sense into them like last time, but all this does is annoy Curly Bowl and turns Lapis into a pin before she can even finish talking, leaving Stevonnie all by them self with all of his friends hovering behind as inanimate bowling pins, Stevonnie knows force wont be the answer here, so they decides to take a gamble and says "Look, since we don't stand a chance of winning, how about I make a deal, if you can knock the pins down, we'll be your's forever, but if you miss then you have to set everyone free, turn everything back to normal, and stop this rampage, deal? "

Curly Bowl thinks it over for a second.....only to turn Stevonnie into a pin anyways and says "you'll wind up this way regardless, so I might as well give you a front row seat while I humor your request" as all the former living members of the "crystal pins" are floated over to the end of the alley, one that's over 160 feet long to give Curly Bowl some bit of challenge, they are all placed next to each other, only able to see whats directly infront of their frozen vision and trapped in their hazy mindset of loving what they've become....but there's a problem, there aren't enough Crystal Pins to make a full 10 set, so Curly Bowl reads the minds of her pins and out of thin air teleports a pin-ified Jasper, Spinel, and Grieg to fill out the line up. Freckles walks up to Curly Bowl and asks "would you like your ball master?" Curly thinks about it and says to her, "no, this requires something a bit more special" she looks to her left and in the empty spot suddenly appears Sadie, who only has a few seconds to wrap her mind over what just happened before Curly Bowl reaches over and grabs Sadie's head and turns her into a bowling ball with her face plastered all over it and her confusion now replaced with instant contempt with her new form.

Curly Bowl ready's her aim and throws the Sadie ball an insane 80 miles per hour down the massively long lane as she and the pins collide and as the dust clears, all the pins are knocked over except for Stevonnie who wobbles back and forth as deep inside Stevonnie struggles to alter the outcome of the game and with all their might they succeed.....in knocking themselves over and letting Curly Bowl win, Stevonnie like all their friends have been swayed by the influence of the pin life and wish to stay that way forever as they all mentally cheer on Curly Bowl for her strike and want to be hit again.

Curly Bowl has no clue she also lost the deal, but she never had any intention on honoring it anyways, after all, what kind of dummy gives up all their reality bending powers just because they said they would? so now Curly Bowl has her dream, Freckles is now forever by her side as her friend and servant, and while she used to enjoy destroying worlds, she now takes far greater pleasure in manipulating this world to create newer and more elaborate lanes to test her bowling skills on, with the inhabitants of earth acting as her never ending supply of bowling pins, and should she get board of that some day, she can always rise up to the heavens and go bowling with the universe with a nice set of Yellow, Blue, and White Diamond balls to use. The end.
