Topaz looked around, then held his head in his hands. "Really?!" He yelled. "Even with all that's happening, I decide that I should just take a nap?!" He was back in the nightmare. "Oh, well." He said, sighing. "At least it might be different this time. Bloodstone was fixed again, so he might not be here." And he was right. There were monster eyes, and Yellow Diamond was still there, but no Bloodstone. That didn't make things much easier. Topaz still couldn't move, and the spike was easily replaced by Yellow Diamond's giant yellow rapier. Having grown indifferent to this same song and dance, Topaz just sat there and waited for her to kill him and end the dream. But she passed him again. Topaz then remembered his last nightmare. Yellow Diamond was walking towards Steven. She stabbed his Gem, ending the dream.
Topaz awoke with a jolt. No tears or sweat. His eye was still normal. He had just gotten used to the dreams. He looked out the windshield of the ship, seeing the vast darkness of space. There were billions of stars flickering in the sky, giving off some light, but not much else. He looked around the backseat. Pearl had widened it while rebuilding the ship, but is was still incredibly cramped. Emerald and Pearl were staring out the windows into the void surrounding them. Amethyst, Steven, and Connie had fallen asleep. Garnet only stared forward, expressionless. She then turned her head slightly towards Topaz. "Another bad dream?" She asked. "Meh." Topaz said, shrugging his shoulders. "I've seen the same thing so many times now, it doesn't even feel like a bad dream anymore." "Not even the part where Yellow Diamond kills Steven?" Garnet asked. Topaz froze. Emerald and Pearl looked at them in shock. He hadn't told any of the Gems, other than Bloodstone, about his dreams. How could Garnet have known? He looked over at her. "How do you know what happens?!" Topaz asked. "Having Future Vision doesn't make you psychic." "You talk in your sleep." Garnet said. Topaz would've kicked himself if he had the leg room. "And Bloodstone told me." She added. Topaz glared at the seat in front of him, then swatted Bloodstone on the head. "Ow! Sorry, dude. She seemed concerned. I had to say something." He said. Pearl spoke up. "Why didn't you tell us Steven gets killed in your dreams?" She asked. "Because the one time it happened, Steven was in the room." Topaz said. "I didn't wanna scare him." Emerald chimed in now. "What do you mean 'the one time it happened'?" He asked. "What about the other times?" Topaz hesitated, then said, "It was me all those other times. Bloodstone held me down and Yellow Diamond killed me." He noticed the pilot's seat move in front of him. "This time, Bloodstone wasn't there, though." He added, trying to make his friend feel better. Pearl looked at the sleeping Steven. "Should we tell him?" She asked. "If Bloodstone only disappeared from Topaz's dreams when we fixed him earlier, does that mean this dream is a warning of future events?" "Nobody picked up that phone when I fricking called it." Bloodstone muttered. Topaz smirked at this, then focused on Steven again. "No." He said. "The way I see it, I can use what these dreams are telling me to cheat fate and prevent all of this. It worked with Blood, right?" Topaz had a feeling, however, that he was very wrong. Nobody said anything for the rest of the trip.
Three hours after Topaz woke up, they finally arrived at Homeworld. They made their way up the elevator into the hallway outside of Yellow Diamond's chamber. Bloodstone peeked through the doorway. Yellow Diamond was gone again. They sent Amethyst in first to check for traps. There were none. "Okay." Bloodstone whispered. "There are a ton of buttons on the arm of her throne." Steven hopped up on the colossal seat. He eyed the buttons, fighting a powerful urge to push them all. "Which one?" Steven asked quietly. "Blue one." Bloodstone replied. Steven pushed the button, opening the secret door. Everyone entered. Bloodstone pushed the green button, taking them to the Gemborg cryo-chambers. "WHOA!" Steven and Connie said in unison. Topaz smiled, then became serious and walked towards the terminal. This time, C1, C2, C4, C5, and C6 said "offline", as well. They were the Gemborgs Peridot was keeping an eye on back on Earth. He shoved his hands in the terminal and started to shut down the Gemborgs. It was only when he heard Steven yell out that he knew Yellow Diamond was right behind him. Topaz panicked, but had an idea. He soon felt a tug on his hoodie, and finished what he was doing. When his hands were out of the terminal, his vision returned, and he saw a big, yellow face staring at him. "H-hey, Yellow Diamond." He said nervously. "Has it been 6,000 years already?"
