The day started off as normal as any other day yet something felt off in Beach City, The crystal gems were out on a mission with their protégé Steven Universe. The mission was to destroy a mystic portal that could cause monsters from other universes and there would be no way to defeat them. Pearl had kept a close eye on Steven who was looking around the huge corridor as the others had tried to think of a way to destroy the portal, Garnet had taken out her fist weapons and she tried to break it by punching it with all her strength but no dice "Hmmm…This was created by Rose…in hopes to make it easier to travel between Universes…but she never told us how to destroy it" Garnet said with a sigh as she thought but Steven had walked closer to the odd portal and his gem had started to glow brighter and brighter the closer he had gotten "A-Ahhh whats happening?!" He said in surprise as he backed up from the portal, Pearl blinked and she looked at Steven "Steven…maybe you can destroy it…get close to it and try to activate your gem" Steven hastily walked to the portal and his gem had gleamed a pink hue but as he got too close he was sucked in which made the gems all yell in unison "Steven!" Garnet had reached in and caught Steven and she tried to pull him out but Garnet had let go it was useless to try. Pearl gasped and she tried to get into the portal but she couldn't without being spit right back out "W-We…We lost Steven!" She said falling on her butt and she put her fingers through her hair and started to freak out.
As Steven had reached wherever this Portal had ended he was spit out in a weird realm it was full of other people…it was full of other Crystal Gems which they had all looked at Steven as if they expected him. In front of him was his own pet named Lion who had helped him stand up but he was leading him somewhere Steven followed looking at everyone in shock and awe "Wow…More…gems" Lion had led Steven to a huge garden with a fountain in the middle, but a woman had sat at the found with her back to Steven and Lion had walked over and laid next to her "Lion why did you bring me he-" He froze as the woman had turned around with a smile, It had been Steven's mother Rose she had curly pink hair and she was much bigger than Steven but she had the voice of an angel "Hello Steven…" She said softly but Steven was so surprised and shock that he couldn't even talk. Steven had started to tear up and his lip started to quiver "M….Mom?" He had ran over crying and he had hugged her tightly and Rose had let him with open arms she had rubbed his back and she closed her eyes, Steven had held onto her and didn't want to let go "I always wanted to meet you! Dad told me so many stories and I saw the video clips of you for the first time…Im sorry that I am failing as a gem!" Rose blinked and she frowned at him "Honey…You are not failing at a gem at all…You are just starting… I couldn't be prouder of you Steven…" She smiled but Steven looked at her "Everyone misses you…Pearl, Amethyst, Garnet, And me…But where are we?" Steven asked looking back up at Rose, Rose had looked around "This Steven is where all gems go when their gems die or break and cannot be fixed" Steven nodded and he looked around at all the gems "Can I come here more…?" Rose looked down and she sighed "No Steven…After you leave here the portal will be broken…I made it so you could talk to me…I wanted to see you for so long in pers-"NO!" Steven said hugging her tightly "I don't want to leave here without you! I finally get to meet you and now I have to leave?!" Rose nodded and she had picked him up "I know I know…but one day we will meet again…Now we need to part ways…" She said with a smile as she put him on Lion's back and Steven tried hold onto Rose but Lion quickly started to run to the portal and just as he got there he was gone. The gems gasped and they all hugged Steven asking if he was alright but Steven had a small smile on the face "I….Met mom…" They were all shocked and they went home where Steven was asked so many questions and he answered them all "The last thing she told me…was that "We will meet again one day"" He said as he tried to figure it out "I will be much stronger by then…I will be like you guys!" Pearl smiled "We all believe in you Steven…We will always believe in you!"
