We sat there around the living room. The crystal gems were still trying to decided to what to do. Steven was on board with having someone like him around. Garnet was convinced through her future vision that it would be good for everyone involved. Pearl was a little wary but I think she's just like that around strangers. Amethyst noted that with the addition of me and Peridot, and maybe this new girl, we'd need a bigger temple. Peridot said she could build more rooms in the temple like garnet, pearl, and amethyst's rooms.

"What do you think Lapis" garnets question caught me off guard, did it really matter what I thought

"Does it really matter what I think?" I ask timidly

"Of course! You're a crystal gem" Steven says with a smile and everyone nods

"I say we give the girl a chance, she might even be able to teach Steven a few things"

"How do we find her though?"

"Don't worry she's not far" garnet walked up to me and tapped my forehead. She passed her future vision to me and I saw where Cassie is

"You want me to go get her?" I ask surprised she picked me

"You guys have a connection" I snort at garnets words thinking she can't be serious, I just met the girl

"Fine I'll go" I extend my water wings and fly out of the house

Garnets future vision told me he would be on the boardwalk. I fly over and see her making different things with the sand. A building, a lion, a roller coaster. She must have good control of her powers because she's not using her hands to control the sand. I think she senses because she looks up at me. I fly down and take seat next to her.

"That's pretty impressive"

"They're just earth constructs, nothing too serious" she rubs the back of her neck "I can make em bigger though"

"Can I ask you something?" She nods "You grew up mostly around humans right?" She nods again "Did they know what you are?"

"Nah my father thought it best to to keep things a secret. I grew up like most normal humans. Practicing using my powers on my own time"

"Did you have a friends? I'm sure they'll miss you" I know I would miss Steven if he ever left

"I didn't really have any friends. I kept to myself. My dad was always worried that if someone found out what I was they would try to take me or something worse. So I didn't make friends. I never told anyone my secret"

"That sounds really lonely cassie. I know what it's like to be lonely"

"That's life ya know. You don't always get to pick the hand you're dealt" I give her a weird look not understanding

"I don't understand what that means" my straight face makes her laugh and I have to admit it sounds so cute

"I just mean that you can't always control what happens and sometimes you just have to accept how things are" I know that feeling all too well

"Well on a happier note. The crystal gems would be happy to have you join us" she gives me a bright smile and I hate to say that I'm captivated. The way sun shines off her smooth skin. It's beautiful. She's beautiful.

"Honestly I'm so relieved, I'm not sure what I going to do if you guys said no. Go to college I guess"

"What's college?"

"It's like school but when you're older. And it cost a lot"

"What's school?" My words make her laugh and it's adorable

"You don't really know much about earth do you" she has playful look her face as she gets up

"Not really and Steven doesn't really live life like a normal human, I think his friend connie goes to that school you mentioned but Steven doesn't"

"I could always tutor him. I did really well in school" she taps her temple and smirks

"Steven might like that. Even though I'm not exactly sure what you offered. Let's head back" I release my wings and take flight

I look back to Cassie with a bright smile on her face and I can't help but smile too.
