Well Pearl and peridot are working hard on the drill, Jaspers been searching caves for sugilite, and lapis is having fun being the team cheerleader. "There's just so much warmth here... So much good that should've been shared with the others." Steven thinks back to the day home world came to earth.
(Flashback...)
"Hey half cooked pip-squeak. These the clowns you were talking about?" Amethyst would rather be anywhere but here, "Yes-" "Ha! As if I don't already know, future vision sure does have its advantages doesn't it?" Garnet slowly walked down the finger, "Well, well, well. It has been awhile miss lazuli." Lapis shuddered at her own name, "And an ex engineer who was stupid enough to join the rebellion, seriously, following that insane traitor instead of us. Pathetic." Peridot got angry at this comment and started to walk forward but was stopped by Jasper putting her arm in the way, "And if isn't it one half of the dynamic duo, I wonder if you ever found the shards." Jasper sat there trying to maintain control over this situation, "Funny coming from the gem equivalent of two children in trench coat trying to look adult." Garnet simply smirked, "You're just mad cause you're single." Jasper glared, "Still twice the gem you are." Garnet smirk faded a bit but it still lingered, "Oh how much use you could've been. But sadly my young apprentice you strayed, to think of all that wasted training to get you and what's her face to stay fused." Jasper gritted her teeth, "Peridot, lapis, take Steven away from here. Now." All three looked distressed, "But Jasper-" "NOW!" They took Steven far away, "JASPER NOOOOOO!" Steven yelled as he was taken by the gems, "Hm. Odd, I can't quite see his future. Tell me, is he important to you?" Jasper glared, "Haha, of course he is. But that begs the question, WHY is he important to you?" Jasper lunged at garnet at full force. Garnet unfused so Jasper would miss, "Truly pathetic." Sapphire said smiling a disturbing smile, "HAHA! You can say that again sweetie!" Ruby said with a victorious grin. Jasper was beaten and held hostage not to long after garnet refused.
(At the emptied car wash)
"Ugh! Why would you leave jasper?!" Steven yelled at his two gem guardians, "Steven we couldn't do anything against-" Lapis tried cooling Steven down, "And look where we are now! They probably have Jasper and we're hiding like cowards!" Peridot slowly rose, "Oh? And what do you know?" Lapis looked a little stern, "Peridot-" Peridot kept walking towards Steven, "And who are you calling cowards?! What could you even do anyway?! You aren't your mother!" Lapis looked shocked and was about to chew Peridot out when Steven cut in, "Yeah your right. I'm not my mother, but I can still try to help! Please... Just let me try." Steven said on the verge of tears. Both Lapis and Peridot hugged Steven, "It's ok, it's ok. Hey, I have a plan to get Jasper back." Steven looked up drying tears from his eyes, "Really?! What is it?!" Peridot looked confused to, "Yeah what is it?" Lapis smiled, "Well their ship should still be in the atmosphere, so I could fly us up there!" Steven smiled, "That's a great plan! Let's go!" Lapis and Peridot stood up, "Right. Let's get our friend back!"
"Steven!" Steven was awoken by his day dream, "Uh yeah?" Jasper looked down confused, "What were you dreaming about?" Steven stood up and smiled, "Eh nothing. Just remembering some stuff." This seemed to appease Jaspers curiosity, "Alright, well come on bud, we got to get some food in you and off to bed." Steven walked beside Jasper, "Okay!" Maybe tomorrow we can remember something else.
