Ever since finding a strange pocket hole that led to another dimension, Garnet was eager to study it trying to find out who or what was behind it, and was excited to find K.O.'s world. She was probably the most excited the Gems had ever seen their stoic leader and it was kind of terrifying.
When they entered the world, they were shocked to see the stark contrast of this new world's colors. Garnet immediately began to search for where K.O. would be, and accidentally came across a young female werecat by the name of Genesis. Genesis knew where K.O. worked and gave directions for the Gems to follow.
Garnet, excited to see the young boy again, raced off, with Pearl, Amethyst, and Steven lagging to keep up.
K.O. was throwing away a Darrell when he heard a familiar voice call his name. He was shocked to see Garnet running towards him, before his face split into a grin of excitement, and he ran to the Gem. "Garnet! I never thought I'd get to see you again!" K.O. announced.
"Well, you get to see me again." Garnet assured.
"Hahaha! You're right!" The brush-headed boy was excited to see this goofy, motherly alien (although he didn't know she was an alien) once again and hoped she'd stay. "So, you're staying, right?"
"Yup. I'll be staying for quite a while."
"Yay!"
Garnet had a thought pop into her head. "K.O., I would like to adopt you."
"Oh, but, I don't need to be adopted. I already have the best mommy in the whole world!"
Garnet stared at the boy for a moment, keeping back some tears. "That's okay. As long as I'm here though, I'll protect you."
"Only when I need it, okay? I need to train to become a strong hero!"
Garnet chuckled. The boy reminded her so much of a younger Steven. Before Steven had to mature. It was kind of nice.
