Garnet heard what Rose said about Steven. She was about to un fuse right then and there.

"What do you mean Steven isn't coming back?" Peridot had no idea what Rose was intending.

Garnet walked into the burning room trying not to be noticed, but the door made a sound.

"Did you hear that?" Rose asked hearing the door shut behind Garnet.

"Hear what?" Peridot was still trying to figure out what Rose meant.

"It was probably nothing." Rose shrugged it off not being too sure of herself.


In The Burning Room…

"She is doubting her choice." Garnet thought to herself. "How can this be?" Garnet questioned feeling very unstable. "I-I can't." Garnet said un-fusing into Ruby and Sapphire.

"Sapphire." Ruby put her hand on Sapphire's back.

"This can't be." Sapphire couldn't understand it.

"Maybe Rose was referring to something else." Ruby knew she was lying when she said that sentence.

"She is doubting her choice of Steven being here." Sapphire started to freeze.

"She won't go through with it, she can't!" Ruby didn't notice Sapphire becoming frozen. "Sapphire?" Ruby turned to look at Sapphire. "Sapphire!" Ruby yelled picking up Sapphire warming her up.

"Ruby!" Sapphire said in shock not realizing what happened.

"You were frozen." Ruby frowned still holding onto Sapphire.

"I-I'm sorry. I don't know what happened." Sapphire explained.

"Don't apologize." Ruby said trying to calm down Sapphire.

"We can't lose Steven." Sapphire held onto Ruby tightly while crying.

"It's Rose's choice." Ruby put down Sapphire and started crying herself.

"It's all my fault." Sapphire cried into her hands.

"It's not your fault!" Ruby yelled in frustration.

"I should have showed how much I care for Steven." Sapphire felt horrible.

"We. We should've showed how much we care for Steven." Ruby wasn't going to let Sapphire take all of the blame.

"We need to show Rose that we need Steven." Sapphire wiped away her tears.

"How do we do that?!" Ruby yelled.

"She is upset of what happened earlier." Sapphire explained. "We need to show her how Steven brings us together." Sapphire thought.

"Pearl wants Rose." Ruby grabbed her hair in frustration.

"Pearl is upset of what she did to Steven." Sapphire explained. "Besides it's three against one." Sapphire slightly smiled and floated over to Ruby.

"Three against one?" Questioned Ruby confused.

" There is us two and Amethyst." Sapphire cupped Ruby's face with her small hands. "It would be seven if you included Greg, Lapis, Peridot and Connie." Sapphire kissed Ruby.

"What are we suppose to do. Tell rose that we want Steven back?" Ruby knew the plan wasn't going to be that simple.

"We have to show her how much we care for and need Steven." Sapphire looked into Ruby's eyes.

"We can do this." Ruby smiled lifting Sapphire into the air making then fuse.

"We can do this." Garnet repeated Ruby's words to herself.

With Peridot and Rose….

"I failed to ask you why Steven has retreated to his gem." Peridot looked at Rose kind of suspicious now.

"It's a long story." Rose frowned a little.

"I have time." Peridot responded sitting next to Rose.

"You really want to know?" Rose questioned.

"Yes." Peridot rolled her eyes.

"Well Steven was poofed from a corrupted gem. When he was inside our gem he chose for me to be regenerated over himself." Rose frowned.

"How is that even possible?" Peridot couldn't understand.

"Steven wasn't suppose to be possible. I believe when that happens anything can happen." Rose shrugged.

"So you're here now?" Peridot questioned.

"Not exactly." Rose replied. "I was back before he got poofed again." Rose frowned.

"Is no one protecting him?!" Peridot screamed. "How did he get poofed this time?" Peridot asked now very curious.

"Pearl got very upset that I was gone again. She said some pretty hurtful things to everyone." Rose looked down at the floor.

"So Pearl protected him from a corrupted gem, but didn't do a very good job?" Peridot couldn't think of what Pearl had to do with his poof.

"Pearl did it." Rose teared up.

"What!" Peridot yelled.

"Pearl was upset and-" Rose was cut off again.

"I don't care! That clod is even a traitor to her own team!" Peridot blurted out.

"Peridot, please calm down." Rose knelt down to Peridot's height.

"Don't tell me to clam down!" Peridot yelled.

"That's why Steven might not come back." Rose frowned.

"He is too hurt to come back?" Peridot was furious.

"No. No, I just think that they really do need me." Rose was conflicted.

"What about Lapis, Greg, Connie and I?" Peridot questioned looking at the Rose Quartz gem.

"I never thought about all of you." Rose frowned. "Who is Connie?" Rose asked curious.

"Steven's girlfriend or something." Peridot didn't know the true meaning behind the word.

"Steven has a girlfriend?" Rose got stars in her eyes.

"Well she is a girl and his friend. I believe it's girlfriend." Peridot was wrong, but not too far off at the same time.

"I have to met her." Rose stood up again.

"Wait a minute!" Peridot yelled even though Rose was right there. "You have to bring Steven back." Peridot was lost without him and Lapis.

"I'll think about it." Rose didn't know if bringing Steven back was a good idea.

"You have to." Peridot begged.

"Peridot, it isn't safe for Steven here." Rose explained.

"Everyone is protecting him." Peridot was confused.

"Homeworld is out to get me. Which means they are out to get him." Rose was lost.

"He knows how to handle Homeworld." Peridot stated getting annoyed.

"I think he can handle it , but he is not taking the blame for me and for what I've done." Rose explained.

"He has to come back." Peridot's voice cracked.

"Tell me where I can find Connie. I want to speak with her." Rose softly said seeing Peridot'd side of everything.

"I don't know where to find her." Peridot really didn't know.

"I'll find her, I'm sure." Rose smiled and petted Peridot's hair.

"Steven better back when you're don't talking with Connie!" Peridot needed to get the last word.


I'm sorry if this chapter was weaker. It will get better over time hopefully.
