"Steven." a mysterious voice said. Steven was asleep. He wondered what the voice was coming from.
"Steven!" louder this time. Steven was now afraid.
"You're dreaming." Steven looked around. He was surrounded in black. "Hello."
"Who are you?" Steven asked. Suddenly a gem appeared right in front of him. She was green, with long straight hair.
"I am an Emerald. The only Emerald." She said. She opened her right hand, revealing and Emerald in her palm, but there were cracks all over it. It was a wonder how it was still together.
"How do you know I'm dreaming?" Steven said.
"I'm an Emerald, they have the powers of seeing another gem's powers, and when they unlock them."
"When we unlock them?"
"Many of your powers only come after a certain amount of time of existing. Not even Rose Quartz had unlocked all of her powers by the time you were born. Just tonight, You unlocked your ability to have what I call 'Waking Dreams'. Wake up, and you will see what I mean."
Steven woke up, and she was standing at the foot of his bed.
"What?!" Steven yelled.
"Shhh…" Emerald shushed him "the other Crystal Gems won't want you doing this."
"Doing what?"
"Healing a shattered gem that they do not know."
She led him into the temple, she walked through the door, and when Steven got to it, the door opened into Rose's room.
"Rose's conscious still partially exists within you." She said.
"What do you mean?" Steven asked.
"This door should never open unless it was a scenario where Rose would have let you in. She knows me." She said solemnly "Although, sometimes I wish i didn't." A silence fell upon them for a minute. Then they heard the Crystal gems walking up the steps to the house. "We have to go in." Emerald said, rushed. As they were walking in, Steven saw Pearl catch a glimpse of them. She wondered how Steven was going into the room, and she seemed to take no notice of Emerald.
"Why couldn't she see you?" Steven asked.
"Because I am part of your Waking Dream. I am only in your mind, and the reason I am in your mind is because of your dream powers."
"Cool!"
"Also, who were you talking about?"
"Pearl!"
Her face was suddenly filled with dread.
Steven closed the door and almost went down to Garnet's room, but Emerald stopped him.
"Rose wouldn't have put me in that room. She knows that the others would've gotten curious, so she put me in this room." She said.
"Room!" Steven yelled. "Bring me Emerald's gem. The REAL one!" Suddenly some clouds moved to reveal a bubble with a gem inside. Steven then realized the problem. Her gem was completely shattered.
