"We can't just leave Emerald behind!" Steven yelled. He and Connie had been like this since they took off. "He wanted us to go without him." Topaz said calmly. "Staying there and trying to convince him to come with us would have gotten all of us killed. He'll be fine." "What if she comes after us?" Pearl asked. Topaz had a mischievous grin on his face. "Remember the part of the story about how I met Rose where I blew up the ship I crashed?" He asked. He then produced a remote from the pocket of his hoodie. It only had one button. Topaz pushed it.

Meanwhile, on Homeworld...

POOF! Emerald's left arm went back into it's shard after it was ripped from it's mechanical parts. Yellow Diamond threw the metal appendages to the ground, proceeding to the last part: the head. She picked up Emerald's head, finding a triumphant smile on his face. "What are you so happy about?" She asked, irritated. "You still don't know?" He asked, starting to laugh. "You didn't notice?" Yellow Diamond had lost her patience hours ago. "Explain yourself!" She demanded. "All I'll say is," Emerald said. "This may not kill you, but it'll be very, very painful." It was then that Yellow Diamond noticed the beeping from every ship in the hangar. The beeping sped up, then BOOM!

And now, back to the ship...

"So she's dead?" Connie asked. "No." Topaz said. "I said I'd give her a second chance. She just need time to learn where she went wrong." "Think she'll ever learn?" Garnet asked. "It's possible. It may take a while, though." Topaz said. "How long?" Steven asked. "Not a clue." Topaz replied. "Doesn't matter that much, anyways. I've got about 41,000 years before I kick the bucket, minimum. She can take as much time as she needs." Topaz then decided that he earned a nap, and slept the whole way back to Earth.


The nightmare was over. Topaz looked around. He was home. No Gemborgs, no Yellow Diamond. Only him, the house, Beach City, and the Gems. He finally got the ending right. He couldn't have been happier. He was so happy, he didn't even notice the ocean bubbling.


Topaz woke up, a big grin on his face. No more nightmares, no more Yellow Diamond. He fought the demons that haunted him, and won. He knew it wouldn't last, but it was nice to know everything would be fine for now. Everyone jumped out of the ship and found Peridot waiting outside of the barn. "It's about time!" She said impatiently. "The Gemborgs left, leaving me with nothing to do! Then there were earthquakes! The Cluster will be forming any day now! We must return to work!" Topaz's smile vanished. He knew the serenity wouldn't last. But he had forgotten about the ultimate fusion experiment: the Cluster. He proceeded to tell the others what he knew about it, which wasn't much, but he hoped it would help. While he did that, Steven walked over to a white blanket on the grass, laid down, and fell asleep, finding himself in a whole world of Watermelon Stevens.
