"Garnet, should we-?"
The fusion cut her off. "Steven should have a pet. There is no need for concern."
Pearl nodded; mollified by her words. Her translucent eyes still held doubt, but she submitted to Garnet's wisdom.
"But fish are so boring." Amethyst stuck out her tongue.
"Amethyst!"
Discussion stopped when Steven had appeared with the fish bowl and the three Crystal Gems speechlessly stared at the new dark blue addition to their family.
"I'm going to call you Lapis."
No one said a word until Garnet smiled.
"That's good, Steven."
The Crystal Gems knew that it was either this small comfort or more nightmares.
