It is a sunny day on Beach City and Lapis and Emerald are playing in the ocean, while Peridot is on the sand planning a new machine.
"Mom?" Emerald looks at the ocean gem.
"Yes?" Lapis places her hand on her daughter's head.
"Can you teach me how to make a water hand?" Emerald makes a big smile.
"Well, I can try." The blue gem smiles too.
"Yeaaaah! Thanks mom!" Emerald hugs Lapis's legs.
"Anything for my baby. Now, Eme, look how I can catch your mama and bring her to the water." Lapis looks at the gem on the sand, who is really distracted with her screen.
"But she said that she can't come to the water because of her limb enhancers."
"Let me tell you something, my daughter." Lapis kneels next to Emerald. "Your mother upgraded her limb enhancers years ago." Lapis laughs.
"Really? Why didn't she tell me?" Emerald crosses her arms, a little bit angry with that fact.
"She knows you and how much you love to come to the ocean. If you knew, you would ask her to come everyday and she doesn't like the ocean that much."
"I see." Emerald looks at the sand.
"But, putting that aside, let me teach you how to do it." Lapis stands up. "First, you have to concentrate and think about what you want, second, concentrate in the water..." Lapis makes a hand with the water. "And then you use your own hand to move it around." Lapis moves the water hand towards Peridot's foot, making Emerald laugh.
"Well, now, I will hold her leg." Lapis tells the play by play.
Peridot gets surprised when the water hand holds her leg moving her towards the ocean, more in angry way than a happy one.
"Lapis Lazuli!" Peridot shouts, while Lapis and Emerald keep laughing.
Lapis moves Peridot, who is upside down, and stop her in front of them, holding her by the leg.
"Hello, my love." Lapis says, smiling.
"Hi." Peridot crosses her arms.
"Don't be mad. Look how Emerald is happy." Lapis says, touching Peridot's cheek.
Peridot makes a bad face.
"Peri, let's have fun." Lapis says, kissing Peridot on the lips and placing her inside of the ocean, what makes Peridot scream.
"Chill, mama. It is just water." Emerald keeps laughing.
"I hate it." Peridot sits on the sand under the water.
"Mama, it is not as bad as you think." Emerald hugs Peridot's neck.
Lapis smiles at the scene. "My girls." She hugs her wife and daughter. "I love you two so much."
"I love you too, mom."
"Me too, Lazuli." Peridot kisses Lapis on the lips.
"Now, it is your turn to make a water hand, Emerald." Lapis says.
"Okay." Emerald tries to concentrate like her mom told her.
"You can do it." Peridot encourages Eme.
"Yes!" Lapis throws a fist in the air.
Emerald tries, she really does, but, a few minutes later, she gives up when she finds herself incapable of doing it.
"I can't do it." Emerald looks at her hands. "I'm not a Crystal Gem." She starts to cry, making her parents worry about that negative reaction towards a failure.
"You don't need to cry about it. You will be able to do that, remember, you're only 4 almost 5 years old. There isn't a rush." Peridot says.
"And you are a very good Crystal Gem, my child. It was your first time trying, I'm sure you will be able to do it one day.
"Thank you."Emerald jumps on her mothers, hugging them in the process.
They stay together for a while until someone shows up on the sand, shouting Emerald's nickname.
"Eme. Eme. Emeeeeee!"
"Topaz!" Emerald shouts back, waving while running towards her friend.
"Hey, Eme." Topaz hugs his best friend.
"Where were you? I looked for you the whole morning."
"I was training with my mom. It was amazing. We found a corrupted gem!" He says.
"Did you fight back?" She asks.
"No, my mom didn't allow me to do that, but it was amazing!" He says, jumping.
"To be true I've never seen a corrupted gem before. I wish that I could fight one." She looks at the temple.
"Maybe one day... we can do it, together." He places his hand on her shoulder, making her smile.
"Yeah."
While the kids are talking, Lapis and Peridot watch them from the water.
"They are so cute." Lapis rests her head on her wife's shoulder.
"Yeah... but... you know... I don't want Emerald dating before she is 100 years old." Peridot looks at Lapis with a frown.
"Peri, who is talking about dating? They are only 4 years old now. They only want to play and do kids' stuff. They don't even think about dating each other." Lapis rolls her eyes.
"Yeah... but... I want my baby to be my little girl forever." Peridot says.
"You know that is not going to happen, right? She will grow up sooner or later."
"I can dream." Peridot smiles, making Lapis laugh. The ocean gem places Peridot's back against the sand, under the water, with a kiss on the lips.
While the two lovebirds are under the water, the kids are planning the next trouble they are gonna get in.
"Let's go and something cool." Emerald says.
"Alri-" Topaz suddenly stops.
His eyes are with a dark blue glow.
"Topaz, are you okay?" Emerald touches Topaz's cheek, but there is no answer.
"Blue? Hey, what's the problem?" She holds back her tears.
"Blue Topaz don't you dare scare me like that!" She let the tears fall down when Topaz falls on her arms.
"Mom! Mama! PLEASE HELP ME!" She shouts and, in an instant, Lapis and Peridot are next to their daughter.
"What's wrong Emerald?" Lapis asks, worried.
"It is Topaz, mom. He is not answering me." She cries.
"Why are his eyes like that?" Peridot kneels and holds the boy.
"I don't know. I've never seen that happening to him." Emerald says, scared.
"Let's take him to Garnet." Lapis picks up her daughter and they run back to the house.
Once they get there, they find Garnet on the sofa talking with Pearl, who is baking a cake.
"Peridot what happened?" Garnet runs towards them, really worried.
"I don't know. Emerald was talking with him and then this happened with his eyes." Peridot tries to explain.
"He wasn't moving or talking. He just stopped like that." Lapis holds Emerald closer to her chest, trying to calm her down.
Garnet places her arms around herself and Pearl notices that.
"Garnet? Are you okay?" Pearl turns off the oven.
"Y-yes... I'm just thin-" Garnet tries to talk, but, before she could finish her sentence, she is not there anymore.
"I told you Ruby!" Sapphire shouts.
"When you told me that it could happen I thought that it was only a small possibility!" Ruby freaks out.
"Peridot, please, give Topaz to me." Sapphire says.
"What's happening to him?" Peridot handles the kid to his mom.
"He is having a d-different kind of future vision." Sapphire holds her son.
"It is like a 100% correct future. Whatever he is seeing right now, will happen." Ruby sits with Sapphire on the floor..
"But, why Topaz is not moving?" Lapis asks.
"Because he's too young to have this kind of future vision. It is too powerful. He is not ready for it. That is why I was supposed to be with him when it happened, so, he could share the vision with me. The energy it takes would come from my gem." Sapphire caresses her son's hair. "This is a kind of future vision that we don't choose if we want to have it or not. It just comes when we're not ready."
"But, how much long does it take?" Lapis looks at the poor kid.
"I- I don't know." Sapphire bites her fingers. "If he was sharing the vision with me, I could stop it, but because of Ruby I can't do that." Sapphire looks at the red gem, who is now walking around the house.
"I told you. How was I supposed to know that it was almost certain?" Ruby jumps.
"You never know what is going on."
"We're not going back to that conversation."
"What are we going to do if Topaz stays like this for weeks, Ruby?" Sapphire hugs her son.
"Mom, is Topaz going to be like that forever?" Emerald whispers to Lapis between her sobs.
"No, of course not. He's going to be back soon... Why don't we take a walk? Nust you and me. Once we get back you can play with him."
"Okay." Emerald says.
"I'm gonna distract her." Lapis whispers on Peridot's ear.
"Alright."
"See you soon, Topaz." Emerald waves while going out of the house with Lapis.
"Topaz... Come back to us. I'm waiting for you right here. I'm sorry, I should be there with you." Sapphire kisses her son's head.
"Sapphi, can you enter now into the vision and stop it?" Ruby stops next to Sapphire.
"That is something I could try, but I don't know what can happen." The blue gem looks at the red one.
"We can try it. Together." Ruby tries a smile.
"No, I'm going alone this time. Just talk with me while I'm there."
"Alright." Ruby kneels and holds Sapphire's hand.
Sapphire prepares herself, but, suddenly, Topaz wakes from his vision hyperventilating.
"Topaz!" Sapphire and Ruby hug him.
Topaz looks at them with tears on the eyes, scared and confused.
"M-mom?" Topaz tries to say between sobs.
"Yes?" Sapphire cleans his tears.
"I don't want to have a future vision like that again."
"I'm sorry, Topaz. I should be there with you."
"I-is that a r-real f-future?" He asks, worried.
"Yes, why? Was it too bad?" Sapphire worries about the answer.
"Mom, I don't want to be in that future." He cries and hugs his mothers really strong, while Ruby and Sapphire look at each other.
Pearl and Peridot decided to go outside once Topaz woke up to give them some space, so, the three of them are alone now.
"Keep calm sweetie. We are here now. You don't need to be worried. Everything is gonna be okay. Ruby, please, get some water for him." Sapphire looks at her wife, but then Topaz starts to freeze the floor.
"Steven is not going to have a house to sleep today." Sapphire whispers to herself.
"Mom, I'm frozen." He says really slow.
"Ruby! Forget about the water. Just come back here!" Sapphire freaks out.
"Yes?" Ruby runs back to them.
"Keep Topaz warm. He's freezing himself." Sapphire gives Topaz to Ruby.
"Hey, hey little man. I'm here." Ruby smiles to encourage her son.
"It's cold mom." Topaz holds his mom closer.
"I'm gonna keep you warm." Ruby hugs him. "I'm sorry, Topaz." Ruby whispers.
"Now, Topaz, I know this is hard, but you need to tell me what you saw." Sapphire holds her child's hand.
"I-I saw bad things... r-really bad t-things." He takes a deep breath, trying to calm down himself. "W-well, I- I saw two big gems with with big arms." He stars. "Everything was caos. Y-you were unfused. Amethyst, Peridot and Pearl were inside of separated cells. Lapis was with m-me and Eme b-because..." He starts to cry again.
"Because of what Topaz?" Ruby looks at him.
"B-because that they w-were here to... to... find m-me a-and Emerald."
"Why? How did they know you two?" Sapphire asks confused.
"When we were alone here in the house... we accidentally sent a m-message to them..." He says, hugging his mom.
"But... the big gems... how were them?" Sapphire really worried now.
"The first one had her g-gem on her chest, s-she was r-really tall and her gem was like a diamond and it was yellow..." He takes a deep breath. "T-the other one was blue with the g-gem on the c-chest... like the yellow one, but she crying..."
"He's talking about the Diamonds. They sent a video to the Diamond Authority. W-we are g-going to..." Sapphire starts to hyperventilate.
"Sapphire look at me!" Ruby holds Sapphire's chin, making the blue gem look at her. "Calm down, we are gonna be okay in the end. I know that is a certain future because we are the Crystal Gems and we will always save the day..."
"A-and if you think we can't..." Topaz sings, while closing his eyes and placing his head on Ruby's legs.
"We will always find a way." Sapphire sighs.
"We are gonna be alright." Ruby hugs her son.
"We need to tell everybody and I need to find out when the diamonds will come." Sapphire closes her eye.
"We can think about it later. Now, let's take Topaz to his bed. He really needs a rest. It was a hard morning." Ruby stands up with Topaz on her arms.
"Yeah... Come on, my little boy." Sapphire smiles at her kid.
"Mom?" He asks.
"Yes?" Sapphire gets near him.
"Are you gonna tell me about them? Those giant gems."
Ruby looks at Sapphire, who looks at her own gem.
"I need to talk with the others first because I know there is another gemling that will want to know about that." Sapphire looks at the house's door and then at the temple. "We didn't think we would meet the diamonds again so soon… but… it was inevitable." She opens the temple with Ruby and gets inside without another word spoken.
