Hello! I am starting a new story. Funny how that happens when you have a few going on at a time. Currently, I have found myself in the Steven Universe world. I got inspired and couldn't help myself. On that note, I don't own anything and this is all just for fun.

A note for the story coming up, basically it takes part sometime after the season finale of season five. I won't say too much but basically there is a truce between Homeworld and Earth and Steven "rules" over the "colony" and gems have the option to live there or Homeworld. Also, they had figured out how to heal corrupted gems. There are still many out in the world so the Crystal Gems are trying to track them all down to heal them. Jasper is healed as well and is staying on Earth. That won't be covered in this story and I haven't decided if I'll write that little bit up yet. But, anyways, onto the story!

Chapter 1

A group of robonoids scurried across the sand in front of the beach house, slowly working on a large warp pad. Steven, Pearl, Amethyst, Bismuth, and Lapis stood off to the side watching the work. Peridot was crouched down by one which projected a green screen that she was using to monitor the progress of the warp pad while Jasper stood above her. After the negotiations between Steven and the Diamonds, it was agreed that Earth was to remain peaceful and as a safe place for gems who didn't want to be on Homeworld any longer. Both Yellow and Blue Diamond did insist that a new warp pad be built so they could visit Steven. The Crystal Gems were a bit apprehensive at first but were slowly warming up to the idea.

"So, is it done yet?" Steven asked from Peridot's side.

"The calibration is stable and I'm getting the all clear from Homeworld," Peridot answered, hitting a couple icons on the floating screen. "We are officially reconnected."

"Done!" Steven shouted, throwing up his hands in the air.

"If anyone wants to leave, now is your chance,' Garnet said, glancing at the surrounding gems, ignoring the crestfallen look on Steven's face. Pearl, Amethyst, and Bismuth looked at each other before turning their eyes to Peridot, Lapis, and Jasper.

"Garnet!" Pearl whispered. "What are you thinking?" Garnet placed a finger on his lips.

"Why would I go back?" Peridot finally spoke. "I don't really want to go back to working in the Kindergartens. Earth is my home now."

Lapis nodded from where she stood next to Steven. "I came back and I am staying. That's it."

"I never belonged with Yellow Diamond," Jasper said, her eyes flicking down at Peridot. "No use going back there."

"Yay!" Steven shouted, throwing up his arms. "We need to celebrate! Let's order a pizza!"

"Let's eat!" Amethyst joined in.

"You ready Peridot?" Lapis asked, flying over to the pad.

"Just about. All I need to do is send these guys back to Homeworld," Peridot answered. Lapis nodded and flew back to the other gems. She was quite conforable being in Jasper's presence but it had gotten better over time. "You don't have to wait for me."

"I don't have to do anything. I want to," Jasper said.

Peridot shook her head and click one last icon on the screen before closing it down. The group of robonoids all scurried to the pad and with a flash of light, they were gone. "Shall we?"

Jasper nodded, holding out a hand for Peridot. "I don't think I will partake in this pizza though."

Peridot ignored the hand and stood up. "It's all good. It's mostly for Steven and Amethyst will eat the box."

"You still need to try it though!" Steven shouted from Garnet's shoulders.

Before Jasper could respond, the warp pad erupted in light, leaving a single person standing on the stone. The person was a green gem with blonde hair styled in a short bob. A green tinted visor covered her eyes and she stood about as tall as Garnet. She wore a black and green bodysuit. A green triangular gem rested on her forehead.

"An Era 1 Peridot," Peridot whispered.

"Do you know her?" Steven asked.

Peridot nodded. "She used to be my manager. Stay here. I'll see what's up." Jasper reached out to stop the smaller gem but Peridot danced out of the way and walked over to the edge of the warp pad.

The Era 1 Peridot turned to the approaching gem and stepped down from the warp pad. "Facet-2F5L Cut 5XG?"

Peridot blinked. "Yeah. That's me. What do you want?"

"Excellent. I thought it might take longer to find you," The Peridot said taking a few steps to stand in front of Peridot. "I'm here to escort you back to Homeworld."

"What?" Peridot asked, ignoring the cries from the gems behind her. "I'm sorry to waster your time but I'm staying here. Yellow diamond gave us all a choice."

The Era 1 Peridot laughed, sending chills down Peridot's back. "Oh! I was unclear. It wasn't like you had a choice in the matter." She pulled out a gem destabilizer from her belt and stabbed Peridot.
