Stevonnie started panicking. "Oh no, oh no, oh no, the mission is compromised! What do I do, what do I-" "Stevonnie." Garnet patted the space next to her on the blanket, not even turning around, as if she were inviting them to sit. Stevonnie paused their hysterics, then hesitantly sat next to her. There was a bit of a silence between the two Fusions, until the younger fusion spoke up. "Um, I'm sorry, Garnet. A-are you mad at me?" Garnet shook her head. "Not at all. You had every right to be curious about this. " Stevonnie gave a sigh of relief.
Besides, you DO realize I have future vision right? I knew you would pull this stunt from the beginning." Stevonnie's pupils dilated a bit, as they had completely forgotten about that. Garnet chuckled a bit, then pulled something out of the picnic basket. "That's why I packed an extra sandwich for you." Stevonnie gave a big grin, starry eyes and all. "My favorite! Thanks, Garnet! Itadakimasu!"
After finishing off the sandwich, Stevonnie looked over at Garnet. "Hey, do you think you could see Homeworld from here?" Garnet took a look at the night sky, which was sparkling immensely with stars. "There," she said, pointing to it. From that hilltop on Earth, Homeworld looked like a diamond in the sky, changing in color from white, to yellow, to blue, to pink. "Wooow, it's so beautiful! What was it like there?" "It was...something," replied Garnet. "What do you mean?" "You see, Homeworld never really thought too highly of fusion as anything more than a military tactic. But for us-ME, it meant so much more. That's why I couldn't stay there on such an oppressive world. That's why when Rose gave me the opportunity to accompany her and Pearl to Earth, I jumped on it." Garnet cupped Stevonnie's face with her hands. "And that's why I'm so happy that you found each other on this planet, a planet that accepts you with open arms and no persecution. And such a perfect fusion, to boot. Can't believe I'm saying this, but you even exceed me in terms of flawlessness. I'm so proud of you, Stevonnie."
All three of Garnet's eyes began to well up with tears of happiness, pulling in Stevonnie for a hug. After embracing for a few minutes, Stevonnie broke the silence. "Hey, do you think you can tell me some more stories about the stars?" Garnet smiled. "I'd be happy to."
