Jasper opened her eyes and looked around. She… was alive?
"What?"
"You aren't out of the woods just yet."
Jasper looked to the side to see Pink Diamond standing there.
"What's going on? Where am I?"
"A piece of me is lodged in your gem. So, I can talk to you now. Since we saved her."
"About what?"
"I do love her. Violet that is."
Jasper glared at her.
"But Violet is no longer Violet. She's Amy."
Pink Diamond sat down beside of her.
"Diamonds belong together."
Pink Diamond smiled, "Not always. There's only been one pair of Diamonds to actually exist and love each other. White Diamond's mothers. Red Diamond and Black Diamond."
"You make it sound like it's impossible."
Pink Diamond smiled, "We gems are a dominating species. To be with someone of equal power… Causes problems. Even Silver Diamond found Purple Diamond to be of equal power even though she wasn't a Diamond."
"What's your point?" Jasper asked.
"I love Violet more than anything but I can see that brief moment she took away my corruption… That she truly loves you. She loves you because you're the exact opposite of her in every way. You're her other half- everything she isn't. That's absolutely wonderful."
Jasper turned dark orange.
"I wish Pearl would see… that White Diamond loves her very much."
"You mean her? That one? She's so bossy?" Jasper answered looking surprised.
"White Diamond loved giving her 'servants' freedom of speech. Pearl was very passive but she was always bright. To be honest I was surprised when she went with that Rose Quartz."
Jasper looked saddened by the memory.
"Didn't it hurt… being shattered?"
Pink Diamond nodded, "It hurt more than anything but… I know why they did it. I couldn't be mad at them. How could I when I helped do the same thing thousands of years before?"
Jasper said nothing. Pink Diamond placed a hand on the top of her head and patted her smiling.
"It's time for you to wake up…"

"Ugh…" Jasper opened her eyes and looked around.
The Crystal Gems were standing a few feet from her and Steven was sitting by her side.
"Hey, how do you feel?" he asked.
"How? I… I thought I was gone?" she asked but he just laughed.
"Pink Diamond came running with you in her hands begging us to fix you. I fixed Amy's gem too."
Jasper's eyes widened, "Her… her gem was cracked?"
Steven nodded.
Jasper rubbed her face.
"Do you want to say good bye?" Steven asked with a sad look on his face.
"Goodbye?"
She looked up to see Pink Diamond holding Amy in her arms. Amy was still out of it apparently. She looked so peaceful sleeping there. Jasper stood up, stumbling forward. White Diamond began stepping into a space ship with the bubbled remains of Blue Diamond.
"Wait! Where are you taking her?!" Jasper yelled.
Pink Diamond looked at White Diamond.
"There's no technology here to help her. Besides… she is half Diamond and has duty to fulfil in Homeworld," White Diamond answered.
"She belongs here with me!" Jasper yelled.
"She doesn't."
"I didn't almost die so you could take her away!"
Garnet placed a hand on her shoulder, "It'll be fine. She needs help to where we can't help her. Not even Steven can help her now."
Jasper threw her hand off of her and started walking away.
"We have to go," Pink Diamond said looking down at her.
White Diamond looked at Pearl. Something inside of her started to hurt and she couldn't explain it.
"Hey," Pink Diamond said softly, "Maybe you should talk to her."
"No, because she'll never see me as anything else but her "Diamond.""
They left onto the space ship and they were gone.

Luckily the beach house didn't receive much damage. The black liquid was even gone. Garnet, Lapis and Peridot were fixing the minor damage while Steven played in the water with Connie. About half a mile down Jasper was sitting at the water's edge. Everyone had tried talking to her but she wouldn't answer.
"You think she'll be ok?" Connie asked staring at the orange figure in the distance.
"I don't know. I didn't want Amy to leave either."
"Why did they take her away?"
"Because she was sick beyond repair I think…"
"Steven! Connie! Are you hungry?!" Pearl called.
"Yes!" they answered in unison.
Lapis stood on the roof looking over at Jasper.
"I hope Amy comes back."
"I hope so too," Garnet answered.
Lapis took off into the air and landed beside of Jasper.
"Jasper."
Jasper made no movement.
"I heard you fused with Pink Diamond."
Jasper ripped her eyes off of the ocean and stared at the ocean gem blankly.
"Only you would be able to do that."
Jasper's eyes started to tear up.
"That means… the love that you had for Amy was much stronger than Pink Diamond's love for her. That's pretty awesome."
Jasper started shaking from crying. Lapis rubbed her back gently and laid her head on her shoulder.
"I'm sorry things turned out the way they did… but at least she's alive. At least she can come back some day."
Jasper threw her arms around Lapis' slender body and sobbed against her while Lapis hugged her head fighting back her own tears.

After a week, they managed to bring Jasper inside finally. She just sat on the floor in Steven's room in front of the TV but it was some progress. Lapis continued to talk to her as much as she could, considering she was the only one who had fused with Jasper before. Jasper was a big softie and she dearly missed Amy.
Everyone would sit up in Steven's room and hang with her and talk even if she didn't answer. Even Amethyst would do her best to change her mind about things but Jasper gave short nods or grunts. Occasionally Jasper would stare at Pearl remembering Pink Diamond's words. It seemed so unreal that the Diamonds themselves had loved lesser gems like herself or even someone as common as Pearl.
Another two weeks passed before Jasper started to join in on conversations and activities. She was learning to cook with Pearl and makes all kinds of cakes and brownies to the point Steven couldn't eat anymore. Amethyst had fun eating though. Jasper wasn't sure if she would ever completely be ok, but she felt a little better being around everyone.

Four months had passed and there was no word from Homeworld or the Diamonds that were left. Since there was no army appearing, there wasn't much to worry about except for Amy's well-being. Even Pearl and Garnet started expressing their concern for Amy as well, but not in front of Jasper. Jasper would still daze off into her thoughts a few times a day but at least she was talking now.
Winter time had passed and it was going onto spring now. They went on a few missions taking care of corrupted gems here and there. Steven had even suggested fixing the galaxy warp but Garnet said no. Even though Blue Diamond and Yellow Diamond was out of the picture, some of the gems under them might try and conquer Earth and that was the last thing they need. Even Jasper had agreed because she knew what a lot of them were like.
Lapis and Peridot started spending more time at the barn making meepmorps together. Everything was shifting back to the way it was before Amy showed up but the difference was that Jasper was there. The more time she spent away from Amy the more and more she felt like she didn't belong. She didn't fit in with the Crystal Gems. She was so much different than them- she wasn't inspired to join a rebellion by Rose Quartz or was she child of hers so why stay?

It was almost June now. Jasper was sitting in the sand thinking about where she wanted to go. She didn't want to crash onto the barn since Lapis and Peridot were a couple living their life together. They had officially gotten married two weeks ago by Mayor Dewey and it was a nice thing. Jasper thought humans were weird organic creatures, but it was nice they had ritual where they committed to each other for the rest of their lives.
"I guess it's time to go."
Jasper rubbed her face then hugged her knees to her chest.
Whirrrlllll Whorrrrl
Jasper looked up trying to make sense where that sound was coming from. She turned around looking frantically when a light beamed down onto the water.
"What the hell-
Jasper covered her eyes when the light became too bright.
"What the hell!" she yelled.
"Wow… It's been a really long time I suppose. From what everyone has told me."
Jasper looked up and her yellow eyes widened in shock.
"Amy…?"
There she stood with long white hair and her skin was a bluish white color. Her eyes were purple and the gem on her chest was white. She was a little taller than Jasper. She wore a white dress with a black silk ribbon around her waist tied into a bow in the back with black slip on shoes like Pearl's.
"Amy?!" Jasper cried jumping up, "What happened to you?!"
"This is how I look without any corruption apparently," she said smiling.
Jasper stepped forward, tears running down her face. Amy bent down a little wiped them off her face.
"I missed you Jasper."
She shrunk down to the size she was when she met everyone.
"I-I-I-
Amy started to cry too and she jumped up throwing her arms around Jasper's neck. The both of them started crying, falling into the sand together.
"I missed you so much! I never thought you were coming back!" Jasper cried.
"I'm sorry you risked your life for mine! I can't believe you fused with Pink Diamond and brought me back! I love you so much!" Amy cried.
Jasper pulled her face from her shoulder and cupped her cheeks.
"I would do anything to bring you back. I love you Amy."
"I love you Jasper," she whispered.

Knock knock
Pearl frowned and wiped her hands off. Everyone was in town except for Jasper and Jasper wouldn't knock. Pearl opened the screen door and looked out to see White Diamond standing there. Pearl stood there staring at her unsure what to say to her. White Diamond chuckled at Pearl who's mouth was hanging open a little bit.
"So…"
Pearl frowned.
"I've come to talk to you."
"I'm no longer a servant for you or anyone else."
White Diamond looked sad for a second, "I wasn't aware I treated you that way."
Pearl blushed a soft blue and looked away.
"So, I take it you don't know why I'm here. The smartest Pearl in the universe hasn't figured it out yet…" she said smiling stepping closer to her.
"Figure out what?" Pearl asked confused and blushing in embarrassment.
"Since… Since we are free to love who we want and I don't have to worry about you being shatter by someone like a Diamond… I came here to confess my feelings of thousands of years."
"What?"
"Pearl, I admire everything about you. How smart you and how you talk. How you carry yourself… I always had much respect for you. To everyone else… you were a common pearl but you were my pearl. You meant everything to me," White Diamond said blushing, "I knew you had fallen for Rose Quartz and I had accepted it a long time ago when the rebellion happened but I know… she gave up her form for Steven. It may be selfish to ask you this now but… will you be with me? I've always loved you."
Pearl covered her mouth with both hands in shock. White Diamond loved her?!
"But you're… you're a Diamond!" she whispered.
"That doesn't mean much anymore," White Diamond said blushing, "Everyone had started have children with the one they love creating gems almost as powerful as me. It's fine though."
White Diamond took one of Pearl's hand held it in hers.
"I got my mothers back and so did Violet but she's not really violet anymore I guess."
"My life is here," Pearl said and White Diamond nodded in agreement.
"Of course. Though I wanted to ask if you would be willing to come to Homeworld one week every month and I'll come see you here for two week. What do you think? Will you be with me?"
Pearl's face was dark blue now.
"I'm sorry if it was a lot to take in. If you want, you can ask Pink Diamond. She knew about my affections for you since the moment I landed my eyes on you. You were the pearl to break the mold."
"What would everyone think back on Homeworld?" Pearl asked.
White Diamond laughed, "I already told everyone about you."
Pearl smiled.
"So, is that a yes?"
"Yes."
White Diamond picked Pearl up and hugged her.

Amy laid in the sand with Jasper holding hands.
"Homeworld looks the same but everything is different."
"Really?"
"Yep."
They laid in silence for a few minutes.
"Where do you want to live?" Amy asked.
"I don't belong anywhere."
"Then… I'll follow you everywhere. I told them I couldn't stay there forever because the love of my life was on Earth. Everyone understood."
Jasper smiled at her.
"I promised to go back and help when they needed me too. I hope that's ok."
Jasper nodded.
"Where do you wanna go?" Amy asked.
"My home is with you."
"Then can we stay here most of the time?"
Jasper nodded, "Can we see the world?"
"Of course."
