"Ohhhhhh. My head hurts." Emerald said to herself. "That fight must have been bad. All I remember was Pearl yelling wait and that's It. What do you think, Steven? Remember anything?"
When she didn't get no reply, she tried asking Topaz a question. "Hey Topaz. Why isn't Steven responding?" Still no reply.
"Oh no! Not again! Their personalities became one again! This happened before. Only it happened with Rose Quartz and Topaz. Hmm. I wonder where the gems are." Emerald said.
She heard a voice in the distance.
"That sounds like Pearl!" Emerald yelled. "Yahoo! Pearl! Garnet! I'm right here!"
"Look I don't know where she's at, Garnet. I mean Topaz and Steven could have unfused and landed in different places." Pearl said.
"I highly doubt it. When I was fighting Emerald, I felt a huge connection of affection in her. So Steven and Topaz have feelings for each other. They didn't unfuse. I can feel it." Garnet said.
"Okay. Whatever you say, you know more about Gem Fusion than I do. " Pearl said. "It's just that they met a year ago and already like each other. I mean come on! It takes years and years!"
"No it doesn't. When Ruby and Sapphire met, it was love at first sight. Now look at them, I would never be here if it weren't for them. For you, it may take years, but for some people it doesn't. For example, Steven and Topaz. Topaz didn't like Steven in the beginning, but Steven liked her. Now she likes him the same way. And they just met. So there, that proves my point. I took notice that Emerald had two pairs of arms, but only one pair of eyes. That means they have a somewhat strong connection. It just isn't like mine with Ruby and Sapphire." Garnet said.
"Well. Fine." Pearl said with a little bit of attitude.
"There now that's more like it. But isn't that Emerald up there?" Garnet said while pointing.
"What? Garnet! There they are! We have to run up as quickly as we can before their personalities become one! Remember you and Amethyst with Suglite? Well this happened with Topaz and Rose! Let's hurry!" Pearl said grabbing Garnet.
Emerald seen that Pearl took noticed to her. "Girls up here!" Emerald yelled. Pearl ran up to her. "Oh my goodness! Steven! Topaz! Are you okay? You guys are so lucky that you didn't unfuse in the air." Pearl said.
"Huh? Who's Steven? Who's Topaz? I'm Emerald!" Emerald asked confused.
"Uh oh. Emerald, you need to unfuse. Trust me. I know you don't like it, but just trust me." Garnet said soothingly.
"What?! No I don't want to! I am only used for emergencies. And since Rose is gone I lost a piece of my personality. In its place, is this new personality that is curious and weak. 75% is this stobborn, angry tempered piece and 25% is this weak caring part. I want it to be 50% and 50% again! Only Amethyst would understand. She always gets judged and so do I. I wish she were here." Emerald said sighing.
As soon as she said that Amethyst's gem began to glow, it flew into the air. Amethyst stood in its place.
"Hey guys! I'm back. It took longer than expected, but I'm here." Amethyst snickered.
"Amethyst! Tell them how it feels when you're judged. Please!" Emerald begged.
"What makes you think that I get judged? The only people that judge me are Pearl and Topaz. Wait a minute, aren't you Emerald?" Amethyst asked.
"I do not judge you Amethyst! Don't you ever say that!" Topaz said.
"Wait a second! Topaz's and Steven's personalities are splitting. Keep asking Steven and Topaz separate questions that they can only answer!" Pearl yelled.
"Hmmm. Steven, do you like it when Pearl babies you?" Garnet asked.
"What? No! She gets protective, then it's okay. But when it comes to babying me, Forget it!" Steven said.
"I do not baby you!" Pearl yelled.
"Ignore it, Pearl! Anyway, Topaz do you like Cookie Cats?" Amethyst questioned.
"Those ice cream sandwiches? GROSS! Those things are so gross. I throw up every time I see one. Blech!" Topaz complained.
"Wait! You don't like Cookie Cat! You little... Corrupted Gem! Ugh!" Steven shot back.
"I am not a CORRUPTED GEM! If I am a corrupted gem, then you are a mistake! Rose would still be here yet if it weren't for you!" Topaz yelled.
"What? I am not a mistake!" Steven said beginning to cry.
"Steven... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to call you a mistake. It just slipped out. I'm so sorry." Topaz said.
"Okay. As long as you're sorry, then I'm fine. But I feel like Pearl thinks I am." Emerald looked up at Pearl.
"Steven... I don't think your a mistake." Pearl said sighing.
"Oh okay. Whatever." Steven said.
"Are you guys going to unfuse?" Amethyst asked.
"I don't know. I like being Emerald. And I have someone to be with me at all times so I don't get lonely. It's up to Steven." Topaz said.
"I like being Emerald too. It's just I also want to be separate. So we can fuse every now and then but I want to be separate too." Steven said.
Emerald began to unfuse. In her place stood Topaz and Steven.
"Wow! That was awesome! I want to do it again sometime! And you promised me something." Steven said pointing to his cheek.
"Fine whatever." Topaz said as she planted a kiss on Steven's cheek. "But just so you know, I can fuse Into Emerald whenever you can."
"What the heck was that? Steven! You are too young for romantic stuff!" Pearl yelled at Steven. "And you, Topaz, I don't want you ever fusing into Emerald again! You know she's too strong, even for you!"
"What?! That's not fair! Steven and I can fuse whenever we want to!" Topaz yelled while tearing up.
"Pearl. I know how you feel about fusion, but if they want to fuse they can." Garnet said.
"But! But!" Pearl complained.
"No buts!" Garnet yelled.
"ENOUGH! I'm 14, Pearl! You have to stop treating me like I'm 2! I like Topaz and I see good in her! It's obvious my mom seen good in her or she would had her done and over with. I know she has anger issues sometimes, but other than that she's a nice gal. I can't see why you girls can accept that!" Steven said.
"Steven... You sound like your mom. Rose would have said the exact same thing." Pearl said. "I wonder what she thinks of us now. I mean, Steven, you aren't a normal gem and you never will be. I get protective of you from time to time because Rose would still be protective of you, if she would be here yet. But she isn't so I don't know..."
"Look. If you guys don't want me here, I'll leave. " Topaz said.
"There's no need for it. You're one of us now. You're a Crystal Gem too." Garnet said smiling.
"Can we do our theme song now and this time include Topaz? Please!" Steven asked.
"Sure anything for you Steven. Hit it!" Amethyst yelled.
Steven grabbed his phone and began playing their theme song.
"We are the Crystal Gems! We'll always save the day! And if you think we can't, we'll always find a way. That's why the people of this world believe in Garnet! Amethyst! And Pearl! Don't forget about Topaz! And Steven!"
"Haha! That was the best!" Topaz said after the music stopped playing.
"Yeah well we needed something for that extra space in between. And so that's where you came in." Steven said laughing.
"Okay. Gems now that we have Topaz back as a member once again, I think we should help her get strong again and train her alongside Steven." Garnet said smiling.
"Yahoo! Yay training time!" Topaz and Steven said at the same time. And with that they hugged and raced each other towards the temple with Amethyst trailing behind them.
"It's gonna be a lot different now that she's out again." Pearl said once they were out of ear shot.
"Yeah but it's what Rose would have wanted. And besides you have another tiny Amethyst around. Heh?" Garnet said laughing.
"What?! Awww man. Don't tell Amethyst this, but she's not annoying as I treat her. She's really fun sometimes. So it will be good to have Topaz around." Pearl said grinning.
"Okay. Let's just get back to the Temple before they decide to fuse with Amethyst!" Garnet said before she jumped really far.
"Of course, we wouldn't like that now would we, Pearl? I'm just glad that everything will be different from now on. It got boring. Finally someone who I can train to be perfect like me. Right like that would happen." Pearl said while she silently chuckled to herself.
"Pearl! Are you coming or not?" Garnet yelled.
"Uh yes. Coming Garnet!" Pearl yelled.
Life will be very different for the gems. Now that Topaz is out. They'll have more training to do and more resposbility on their hands. Heck if Rose could tame her for a bit, then they can too.
