With time comes better writing, I would hope you stopped by and looked at my profile it should tell you a little why my stories take so long to write.

Also I'm going to be excepting and Gem-sonas. Please just tell me anything you think I'll need to know. I'll also point them in your direction.

Don't own Steven's Universe but I do own my characters.


Now with everyone inside a heavy atmosphere from the events that just transpired. Emerald was patching himself up with a makeshift arm cast. Garnet now fused looked shaken with her cracked glasses. Pearl's gem was in her hand healing while Amethyst was in her room. Steven was next to Garnet with a hand on her back thing to help.

After a while of awkward silence and finishing himself with the wrapping. Emerald was the first to speak, directed at Steven. "I'm sorry. I came here to talk and now I've incapacitated more than half of you Crystal Gems. Please understand." Emerald spoke with regret in his voice. Truly he didn't mean any of this but last time they saw each other as enemies. Tension had to have been high because of it. "They reacted just like how I would." He sadly said the last part barely audible.

Garnet wasn't in much of a talking mood, seemingly calming herself from either fear or rage. Steven spoke instead. "What did you do to them?" He asked. "I've never seen them like this. Why did they infuse at the last part? Where they fighting?"

"No kid." Emerald signed. "I can un-fuse gems with a signal I send from my brain. If I fuse with one or many gems then I also take a more dominate position. It's literally against what fusion represents, an equilibrium between two gems. I was hoping that maybe the little gem could take it, but I was wrong." He looked towards the door where Amethyst headed off to.

Garnet finally let out a loud sigh as her shaking stopped. She took off her glasses to show her three eyes looked into his own. After a brief second the top eye closed and she put her glasses back on. " What was that all about?" Emerald asked sounded a little afraid of the idea of her just blowing his head up.

"Don't worry." She said knowing what he was thinking. " I can see into the future but it's never set in stone. Things can change like you attacking us, killing Steven, or shattering the last Crystal Gems. Right now with you, anything is possible it seems. Instead I looked inside you, the feeling that flow out of you. I could feel the type of person you are right now regret and sorrow for the actions you have done. So we forgive you, I forgive you."

"Thank you. It means the world to me to hear that from you. I wish the last time was a better environment too. Please understand I'm different now." Looking at Steven he said. "I want to pay Rose back for all she had done for me. Please kid, let me protect you in her place." Steven was stunned. Looking back at Garnet for an answer she gave him a look that said 'You can answer this.'

"You can't fight with the gems anymore." Steven began. "You also have to show me how to fight. And...and." Steven hesitates for a second almost didn't know how to say it. "You need to tell me all about my Mom." Emerald held a large smile on his face. Against his better judgement and pain he kneeled to Steven before swearing to Steven that he will do all he can and more.

The rest of the day was about resting, Garnet was the only one who seemed fine but refused to leave the couch. Emerald laid on Steven's bed and slept. While Steven left to get some food for himself and the new house guess. Steven wondered what he liked to eat, now that another gem human lived with him. Pizza seemed like a good idea, so he headed towards Fish Stew Pizza the best pizza place in town.

Seemed to be close to closing with only one person inside, Kiki, wiping down tables. "Hey Kiki!" Steven shouted walking in. "Can I get a large pizza with extra cheese?" Kiki seemed pleasantly surprised with Steven showing up. "Sure Steven, actually you wanna take a cold one." She said. "I'll make if free for you do." She said with a sing-song voice. That got Steven's attention. "Would I! Free pizza is the best pizza." Steven said taking the pizza and heading off home.

Night was beginning to fall with the sun setting. Lights were still shown down by the beach where a party was taking place. Without paying attention Steven had walked into an adult. Steven hit the ground knocking the pizza out of his hand, before that hit the ground the person he bumped into scooped it up.

"Ow kid. That hurt." He sounded like he was exaggerating an injury. "What are going to do about this injury." The man stood well above Steven looking down at him. Wide grin on his face he looked perfectly fine too. Wearing all black down to the shoes and the black hoodie up over his head. "Think I'll help myself to this pizza." He said opened the box and taking a slice for himself.

"Hey!" Steven shouted. "That's not yours, give it back." Steven tried his best to reach for the pizza box in his hand but was unable to get it back. He held it high over his head and mocked Steven by lowering it closer to his hands before pulling away. "Why are you doing this?" Steven said hated being bullied by this stranger.

The man just only laughed at how mad Steven was getting. Taking the last bit of the slice he took. When suddenly a car stopped a few feet from them, a red painted sports car. Bucky stepped out fixing his shades while looking at Steven.

"Everything alright Steven?" He asked in his calm cool voice while closing his door.

"No. This man won't give me back my pizza. He even took a slice." Steven was pointing at the man.

"Did he now." He said stepping closer to Steven. "We going to have a problem. Or can you give the kid his pizza back?" A few steps closer and Bucky would be in his face. With his voice now sounding more threatening than calm.

The man seemed to not like his tone and showed it on his face. Swallowing what was in his mouth he spoke. "You seen a man with a green tooth around here? I'm looking for him. As soon as I find him, I'll leave." Still holding the pizza but not in the high in the air, he wanted that answered first. Bucky spoke for Steven with a quick no. "Now leave Beach City." Bucky was sounding a little more threatening. The man just dropped the pizza box and walked off, Steven caught the pizza when it dropped.

"Sorry Steven." Bucky sounded relieved that it didn't escalate any further. "You know we get weirdos here when it's summer time or when there is a party. Here, let me drive you home."

"Thanks Bucky." Steven said. "For helping out and the ride. There wasn't anything I could do and he seemed like a dangerous person towards the end. Glad nothing happened." Steven got his curly hair ruffled by the teenager. He nodded in agreement.

The drive was easy, with Bucky playing some soft techno beat that he said Sour Cream had worked on. Steven was deep in thought, 'A man with a green tooth?' Only one person could fit that description. Had to be Emerald, but why are people looking for him. In the same day too, I need to bring this up with him.

Bucky dropped Steven off on the corner close to the side of the beach he lived on. "See yeah Steven. Stay cool." They bumped fist before driving off. Steven waved as he left.

When we walked in, things didn't look much different from before he left. Garnet looked much better and even greeted Steven when he walked in. He showed the pizza he got.

"I'll see if Amethyst wants any. Can you wake Emerald?" She said standing Steven nodded rushing o his bed to shake him awake. "Time to eat!" He shouted at him. Noises could be heard from him, finally sitting up looking at Steven in a daze. "I have food ready. Also someone was looking for you."

That woke him up, his eyes widened a bit and a growl escaped his lips. "Are you already Steven." Emerald grabbed Steven by his shoulders looking him dead in his eyes. "Yeah the mean guy just eat one of my slices." He looked over to pizza box now on the counter. He signed pretty heavy, ruffling Steven's hair as he got out of bed. "We'll talk and eat, ok." He said with Steven following.

After both had eaten a slice each, Garnet walked out of the door alone. Looking at Steven she shook her head sideways. Emerald motioned for her to sit before talking about the subject. "People are looking for me here." Garnet looked at him. "They also don't know about Steven, which makes sense cause I learned about this place from one of them. I also know that they are slowly taking Beach City under. They think you're actually in the city. Luckily the mounting hides the statute cause that is a dead give away." He seemed to lightly snicker at that. "What did the person you meet look like?"

"He was as tall as you but wore a ton of black. Also very mean for no reason." He said trying to imitate his mean face look. Emerald just clicked his tongue in discuss. "I've heard of him before his name is Onyx and he is mean. Be careful next time Steven, get one of us if he comes close to you again." They all sat their for a few minutes letting everything sink in. This has been a long day for all of them and seems to only get worse the more it goes on. "Garnet." Emerald says getting her attention. "I want to train Steven. He needs to get his powers under control and I'm the best bet." He left it at that waiting for her response. She never gave one but nodding in agreement with the once enemy.

"I'll fix everything Steven. No one will hurt you, you go out with Emerald while we will go search for Lapis." That name caught Emerald's attention looking at her but saying nothing. Steven was excited that he may see a friend again. Finished eating the three went to bed. Garnet and Steven hugged once before heading off with Emerald laying on the couch now.
