Sapphire stood in the cloud arena. She didn't know where else to go after learning the truth about Rose's identity. She was Pink Diamond. So many things went through Sapphire's mind. The first being; Rose lied to them. She said that Pink Diamond was evil. A tyrant who deserved her fate. When she was that tyrant all along. Her face, name, identity, it was all a lie! What else was a lie? The rebellion? The value of organic life? Being Garnet?

What were they doing for thousands of years?

"Sapphire?"

Then gem was pulled from her thoughts and looked up. There stood Steven.

"Steven?"

The half gem quickly pulled her into a hug, "I found you." When Steven pulled back Sapphire saw that he was closed to tears. Sapphire sighed. How could she forget? Steven would have been worried.

"I'm sorry Steven, I shouldn't have gotten angry like that?" Sapphire apologized.

"You don't have to apologize for that Sapphire," Steven said, "I'm upset about it too. But why did you leave?"

"Rose… Your mother… she lied to us. I'm not even sure if she cared about us at this point. I just don't even know what we've been doing these thousands of years."

Steven was silent for a minute. Then he began to ask questions.

"Do you hate me now?"

Sapphire looked at him in horror, "Of course not. I'm angry at your mother, but you're not her. I know that now. I could never hate you, Steven."

"Well… do you hate Earth now?"

Sapphire was silent. She looked over the edge of the cloud arena and down towards the planet she had called home. "No. I could never hate Earth."

"Sapphire, I know my mom lied, she might have even lied about caring about the Earth and life on it, but even if she did lie, you didn't. You came to really love this planet. And the people on it. That wasn't my mom, that was you. And the first time you fused with Ruby, that wasn't my mom, that was you and Ruby," Steven looked down for a minute before continuing, "I love being a crystal gem. I love going on adventures with you guys. But most of all, I love having all of you with me. Pearl, Amethyst, you and Ruby, whether you're Garnet or not. Maybe the Crystal Gems did start out as a lie. But it doesn't have to be that now."

Sapphire looked at Steven. She was so angry at Rose, she didn't stop to think about Steven. He was told his whole life about what everyone thought of his mother. Now he was the one who found the truth on his own. He must had been so confused. He must had felt so betrayed. Even more than she did. Plus, she knew he was right. She did love Earth, with or without Rose Quartz, or Pink Diamond; and her message, whether she meant it or not, was real. Also, Steven was honest, when he said he loved them he meant it. And she knew that without a fact.

"Sapphire let's go home," Steven held out his hand. Sapphire was just about to take her hand. When she had a vision.

In a panic she looked, "No, why here, the cloud arena of all places?"

"Sapphire?"

There was no time to get to the warp pad. She grabbed Steven's hand and ran into the up the stairs to hide behind one of the column, "Steven, don't move, don't make a sound." She whispered. Sapphire peeked to look up into the sky. Floating towards the arena, was Blue Diamond's Palanquin.
