"Jasper, can I tell you something?" The purple quartz said as she and the perfect quartz walked to warp pad.

"Anything girl, I'm all ears," Jasper said.

"I'm sorry, for getting you into this mess. I'm sorry for overreacting when you asked me about that thing, I knew you meant good and it was rude of me." The shorter quartz said in an apologetic tone.

"Don't worry about that girl, water under the bridge." She said giving her fellow quartz a bright smile.

"Thank you, I needed that."

When the duo stood on the warp pad, they gave each other a fist bump and then warped to the beach house.

Inside the beach house, Pearl paced back and forth, still worried that something might happen to Amethyst. Even if Jasper is doing her best to live up to her word of fixing things with the Crystal gems she did not trust her, to her trust is something that is sacred to her. A thousand year of brutal combat made giving her trust to new gems she did not know hard. Giving her trust to Jasper might take longer than expected.

"Pearl you need to calm down, they will be okay," Nora said trying to calm down her fellow Crystal gem.

"I can't calm down, what if something happens to Amethyst."

"Your worries are not justified Pearl, they will be okay in fact they will be here right about now." The fusion said directing her gaze to the warp pad that suddenly activated.

Light erupted from the crystal-based device into a bright white pillar, when it died down two quartz soldiers appeared. It was both Jasper and Amethyst; the two looked happy but beaten. Pearl was worried that Jasper might have hurt Amethyst.

"What happened to you two?" Asked the worried Pearl, hoping that nothing bad happened

"Oh nothing, we ran into some mutant gems but we kicked their asses." The purple quartz said

"Not in front of Nora," Pearl said sternly.

"Sorry Pearl," Amethyst replied with a sheepish grin on her face.

The short quartz felt a hand on her shoulder when she turned she saw Garnet smiling at her.

"I trust that everything is settled then?" The fusion asked.

"Yeah we are totally cool, isn't that right Jasper?" Amethyst asked

"Yeah, I'm just glad that I and Amethyst are able to get along." She said while giving her fellow quartz thumbs up.

"Oh Nora give me my baby please," Jasper said only for the demi gem to comply, with a big smile spreading across her face.

"Oh you little badger, mama Jasper is happy to see you. Are you happy to see mama Jasper?" The quartz soldier said in a very affectionate tone.

To see her display this kind of affection and motherly love was truly surprising. Pearl was and still amazed by how this Jasper acted like a true mother to the boy in her arm. She expected her to be more of a brute a fight-loving idiot considering the fact that her counterpart here did a number on them and some of the gems she hurt are still dealing with what she did to them even it was an entire year ago. She looked around, she saw how everyone was smiling at how the quartz soldier was displaying affection toward her adoptive son when suddenly she felt like a true jerk, ashamed that she quickly judged Jasper and thought she was going to be the same Jasper before.

"Maybe I was quick to judge her, well only time will tell." Pearl thought, but without her even realizing, a warm smile spread across her face when she looks at Jasper and baby Steven in front of her.

Nora's phone rang; she picked up only to hear Sadie's voice. The donut shop worker invited her to a movie night with Lars; she said that she could bring who ever she wants. The last sentence the blond girl spoke gave Nora the idea of bringing both Jasper and Amethyst with her, now that the two quartz soldier is on good terms this little movies night will help strengthen their relationship even more.

"Who was that Nora?" Pearl asked

"It was Sadie inviting me over to her house to watch some movies; she said I can bring someone with me. Do you want to go?"

"No, I'm sorry Nora, movies aren't my strong point."

"Oh come on, it will be fun," Nora said giving her guardian puppy eyes.

"I'm sorry Nora but I need pearl, we were going to investigate the beta kindergarten for corrupted gem and mutated monsters," Garnet said, shutting down the demi gem. Having future vision made sure that Nora gets what she wants, everything worked according to what she saw.

"Jasper, why don't you and Amethyst come with me to Sadie's house?"

"Sorry, Nora got to feed Steven and change his diaper and put him to sleep." The perfect quartz said in an apologetic tone.

"That's too bad." The hybrid said in disappointment; just as she and Amethyst were about to leave Greg came in with a fish stew pizza and a can soda with him.

"Hey shtoo ball, wanna hang out with your old man?" Greg asked.

"Sorry dad, Sadie invited me and Amethyst to a movies night."

"Well that is too bad; I was hoping to spend some quality time with my cute daughter." The father said while ruffling his daughter long black hair.

"Well can you watch over Steven for the night? Jasper really needs some time for herself." She asked.

"Well sure, I don't see why not."

"Thank you so much, Now Jasper can go with us." The demi gem said

"I don't know Nora; I don't think that it is a good idea for me to hang out like that. I don't think that's my style anyway."

Nora fought and prevented the disappointment from taking over her, this time she was not taking no for an answer.

"Ah no you won't, you need to have a life on your own rather than sitting all day long and taking care of Steven. Come on Jasper, It will be fun." The demi gem pleaded giving the perfect quartz the puppy eye.

If there is one thing that humans can do and gems cannot are the puppy eyes. She saw it during her stay with the Crystal gems of this dimension, the way Nora used this tactic to get what she wanted when the gems were too stubborn to allow her to do things such as going on dangerous missions with them. This tactic showed, however, zero results as Jasper was not affected by it, in her universe, the crystal gems were rather secluded and kept only for themselves rather than socialize with the humans and the only time they did was when Greg started hanging out with them. She decided to humor the young half gem rather than disappointing her with a flat out NO.

"Okay simmer down girl, having little fun won't hurt anybody right." The quartz soldier said sighing in defeat.

The 15-year-old girl squealed and jumped to hug the older gem, this gesture made the other gems and Greg laugh. This is what the Crystal Gems fought and sacrificed for; this peace was the biggest thing that they appreciated.

"You know what to do Greg, everything you need to feed my Steven is in the kitchen and the diapers are in the bathroom. At midnight take him for a walk on the beach, he loves it when I do that."
"Come on do not worry about it, I got this all covered. You know Steven is safe with me." The man said reassuring the war veteran.

Jasper went for a bag she kept with her and brought two small diamond shaped crystals. She gave one to the confused Greg and kept the other for herself.

"These are communication crystal that me and the crystal gems I knew used when we had to split up on missions, it helped a lot but that is not relevant right now. Use this to tell me if any gem related thing happens to my son ok."
The man nodded and Jasper started walking away with Nora and Amethyst, but suddenly she stopped and turned to the see Greg holding her baby boy.

"And one more thing, press the top of the crystal so you can call me."

With those words the trio left the beach house, Garnet gave Pearl I told you so look just for her fellow crystal gem to roll her eyes and go for the warp pad leaving Greg caring for the baby.

At Sadie's house

"Ok, popcorn check, chaps check, drinks check, horror movies check, alright we are set to go. Lars, how are you holding up in the kitchen? Is the cake ready?" The blond girl asked.

"Yeah it is, but why do you need all that food? We are not going to throw a feast or something, I mean it's just me and you and Nora." The half Filipino said.

"Well, about that I told Nora that she can bring who ever she wants with her and she will be bringing Jasper and Amethyst," Sadie answered.

"Yeah sure, suit yourself girl."

Just as Lars finished that sentence, the doorbell rang. Lars was too busy in the kitchen to even notice but Sadie was not. The girl found herself in front of the super quartz that waved at her, and then Nora and Amethyst came into view. The demi gem always full of energy and jumped to hug her friend, Amethyst gave her a fist bump, and she moved away from the door so they can enter.

"So, what's on your mind Donut girl?" Asked the purple gem

"Get some pizza first, watch a couple of movies and then play videos games while eating snacks. Sounds good right?" Sadie said hoping that the trio in front of her accepts the plan.

"I'm a game, what about you Amethyst and Nora?" The older gem said.

"Fine by us, I love fish stew pizza," Nora said.

They got inside; Barb greeted them, Sadie's mother who was happy that her daughter would not spend time alone.

"I trust your room is big for us to fit in right?" Asked Jasper

"My room is actually the basement, its quite spacious so let's go and get everything ready and wait until Lars finishes the cake."

"So donut boy is here, oh this is going to be fun."
"What do you mean by that?" Amethyst inquired

"Lars is scared of her," Sadie said bluntly, her statement made everyone laugh.

"I'm pretty friendly if you get to know me, but if anyone tries to hurt my family, let's just say it will not end up pretty well for them."

"I will do the same if I were you; now let us go watch some movies shall we." The blond girl

The group went straight to the basement; they smiled as the girl's quarters gave them a cozy feeling.

"I think Lars is about done now, how about we set things in their places and begin." The blond girl said.

After setting everything, Lars came into view. The boy was happy as his cake was a success, smiling he descended down only to be surprised by the big gem. At first, he did not move out of pure shock, he knew well that she meant no harm but she was still intimidating.

"She is cool Lars, Grow some balls and go talk to her damn it." Lars thought to himself.

The perfect quartz noticed the teen and did not make any move; she decided that it was best that he is the one to start the conversation.

"Hey there Jasper, I'm Lars"

"Yo, nice to see you again Lars, come sit down with us."
"Thanks, I guess."

"Listen; about earlier I was just messing with you so we're cool right?"

"Yeah, don't worry about it." He said while releasing a sigh of relief.

After that short conversation the fun began, they ate pizza while watching movies. For the most time, Nora hid behind Jasper because she was too scared to look at the TV, but after that everything went smoothly. Eating the cake was the best part of the night, Jasper had to admit that for a kid his age Lars knew how to make something as delicious as this cake. The time passed quickly and the fun ended.

"I have to admit, I never had this much fun in ages," Jasper said

"Thanks, I will make sure to give you a call when I plan to do this another time." The blond girl replied.

"Well I don't know about you two but I could use some sleep right now because I'm dead tired," Nora said.

"Yeah, let's go home," Amethyst said.

The trio then headed home.

Yes, finally this chapter is over. I am happy to see this Story going well, to see so many people liking this and all those views keep pushing me to write more. You don't know how much your support means to me and for that, I will give one of you guys the chance to get an OC of your choosing in the story, human or gem you name it and I will get it done. Now back to the real talk, as I said before my Danny Phantom and Steven universe crossover fanfic will be available for you to read soon so stay tuned for it, and I promise it will be fun to read. This chapter was mostly filler and I decided to give the Gems and mostly Jasper a breather from all the drama going on with Jasper snooping around and wanting to know what her counterpart in the universe she lives in now did. Jasper struggle to fit in with the gems is far from over as Pearl, Peridot, and Lapis does not trust her yet. The next chapter is going to be called getting back to business. I can tell this; this story is just far from over as the Jasper major arc is still going. That is right people; the chapters you read is only the first part and the second part will involve Steven as he grows up and learn how to use his power.

Have a nice day.

Nova Quartz is out.
