Chapter 2 people! Yay! Still doing this late at night. I got a habit with this unfortunately...

Anyways, on with the story! (And stuff like that!)
The Crystal Gems warped back home. Pearl carefully laid Steven`s Gem on the counter. Tears started filling her eyes.

"I-I failed you Rose." Pearl whispered under her breath.

"Rose? Why are you still mentioning Rose when if you think you failed anyone, you failed Steven? Steven`s a person too, ya know?" Amethyst yelled.

"Amethyst! You never had what we had! She told me to protect him." Pearl said.

"Well, you still need to treat Steven like he`s a other being! You treat him like he`s Rose, but he is himself!" Amethyst cried. "You know I miss Rose too. You were never more important to her then any of us. She loved us all. You think I`ve never been upset about what happened to Rose?"
"We had something more, Amethyst! I was closer to her then anyone else!" Pearl cried.

"Amethyst, Pearl, calm down! Steven would never want this!" Garnet said.

"You mean Rose won`t want this." Pearl whispered under her breath.

"No! I mean Steven won`t want this, Pearl! Amethyst is right. You got to treat Steven like he`s Steven, not Rose." Garnet told Pearl.

Pearl had tears dripping from her eyes.

"You`re right! You`re both right! I`ve always treated Steven like he was Rose, but he`s not! He`s her son! I`m-I`m sorry Steven." Pearl yelled.

"Pearl, it`s okay. I`m sure Steven-and Rose- would forgive you. Steven and Rose will always love you, no matter if they are here right now or in that Gemstone. They will still always love you." Garnet said while comforting Pearl.

"Thank you, both. You always make me feel better, even if it seems like I don`t care. Amethyst, I`m sorry for all the horrible things I said to you. For all the horrible things I did to you." Pearl said.

"I`m sorry too, Pearl." Amethyst replied.

Yeah! Pearl and Amethyst just made up! Pearl just admitted her feelings about Steven and junk like that! Sorry if this chapter seems rushed. Again, here it`s 10:30 and I`m already tired for going to bed at 1:00 last night and then waking up at 7:00 this morning, so...
