I don't own Steven Universe.

"So I was put on trial in front of yellow diamond and blue diamond."

"Put on trial that's ridiculous why wouldn't they immediately kill you on sight?"

"Gee thanks pearl I'm so glad your concerned about my well being."

Pearl was in the kitchen making tea while I told everyone about what happened on home world. "Don't get me wrong I'm glad you aren't dead I just mean Rose was a war criminal and everyone thinks your Rose... well technically you are Rose since she became half of you but that doesn't make you Rose because your also half Greg while still being yourself... anyway, I'm just saying it doesn't make any sense."

just as she finished talking the kettle on the stove started squealing telling her the water was done boiling.

"I didn't get it at first either. While I was on trial the gem assigned to defend me had no idea what to do, Half way through the trial yellow diamond called for a recess and I was sent back to my cell."

"Oh did you see any scary torture devices on the way?" Amethyst had her head in the fridge looking for food while she talked.

"Amethyst." Garnet was looking at her from her spot in the living room clearly not approving of talking about torture devices.

"What? I'm just asking for more details."

"No there weren't any torture machines, just a bunch of long hallways."

"Pfff boring."

"Where was I? Oh right, while we were in my cell my gem lawyer kept asking me questions about what I was saying in court."

"what did you say?" This time it was Conni who asked the question. She was sitting next to me looking at me and listening to every word I said. Conni has always been a sucker for good stories even if they involve her best friend almost dying.

"Blue diamond asked me how I shattered Pink dimond but since I wasn't technically there I just made up a bunch of stuff. So gem lawyer was going on and on about how lying in court was punishable by death and how it wasn't just my gem on the line but hers too blah blah blah, until she finally had some sort of realization that she understood why the diamonds where asking me so many questions, It's because none of it made sense. And that's when we got called back into the court room."

"what happened next?" Dad was sitting across from me looking like he was trying not to have a heart attack when he asked this.

"We went back in the room and my lawyer started talking about how none of it made sense, there's no way Rose would have been able to get close enough to shatter her. So it had to have been Yellow or Blue diamond."

There was a sharp intake of breath from everyone, Then Pearl, Garnet, and Amethyst all looked at each other as if having a conversation in their heads.

"Steven." Garnet was about to say something when pearl interrupted.

"OK, well thank you Steven. Now I think we should all turn in and get some rest."

Garnet looked like she wanted to say more but decided otherwise and went to her room. My dad and conni started walking towards the door when I stopped them.

"Will you guys stay here tonight?"

"Whoo for a second there I thought you weren't going to ask. I packed extra cloths and already asked my mom so YES I can." Yep you could always count on Conni to plan ahead.

I already knew what Dad's answer was going to be but I waited for him to answer anyway.

"Of course shtew ball, I was just headed to the van to get my stuff. After what's happened the past few days I was gonna stay the night weather you asked or not."

Boom called it. We all got settled in, Dad on the couch and me and Conni on the floor in sleeping bags. "Night Dad, night Conni." "Good night buddy." "Goodnight Steven."

And with that for the first time in days I fell into a deep and uninterrupted sleep, at least for a little bit.
