OK! My precious baby Blue! My heart! And Yellow! Uhhhhhhg! K sorry had to get that out. Reunited was great!
We see Lars learning about Steven. The off colors are amazed. Lars sets a course right to Homeworld.
Also not sure if I said this anywhere, but in my story Garnet has already spoken to Lars and the off-colors. Also, Steven and the other visited Lars far earlier than in the show.

Lars sat in his chair watching the cosmos. "Ah...captain's log: maybe it's Tuesday? Well I guess time doesn't matter in space. Anyway, we have been mining old asteroids and abandoned colonies. We should have enough fuel to get to Earth. And then some. We're going home. Home..."
The Rutile twins turned to him, the left one speaking first. "Captain, would you like us to set a course for Earth?" "Captain, shall we depart?"
Before he could answer his hair started glowing. "Ah jeez Ste-"
Connie gasped as she flew out of his hair. "-ven? Connie? What's up? Why are you here alone? Is Steven ok?"
The girl got up and smiled widely at him. "Steven is great, actually! He is doing great things!"
As she explained everything both Lars and the off-colors gawked at the ideas. Rhodonite was nervously pacing in circles. "So now this human is off in space with all three diamonds!? That is insane! What if they change their minds? They'll break him!"
Padparascha gasped and sat up straight. "Steven will be going to Homeworld! He's going to bring peace to gemkind and organics! What an amazing discovery!"
The Rutile twins both had looks of shock and excitement. "A human...well half human...going to speak with gems?" "A human that is being studied for everyone's benefit." They both spoke at the same time. "Fascinating."
Flourite nodded and stared down at Connie. "I believe...this can only spell...good things. Garnet's ability...is seeing only good things...we should be...celebrating! Steven is...finding ways to help everyone!"
She smiled and nodded. "I'm glad you agree! Lars, what do you want to do now? I am sure you could be like some kind of informant. I mean, most other people on earth never have even been to space!"
Lars sighed lightly and closed his eyes, seemingly thinking things over. "Man, Steven has done all of these amazing things, and here I am! Sheesh..."
Connie shook her head. "Come on! You're a space captain! You and your crew go around stealing important things for your ship! And the ship itself! You stole it right from Homeworld! You are awesome!"
He smiled at her. "Ok! You said that Blue diamond's pearl left a communicator right? So we could contact her and Steven if we wanted. That may be a good place to start."
She nodded and saluted him. "Alright! If you could just let me get back home, I can bring the communicator back! And the gems."
Lars just nodded and crouched down. Once she left he let out a small sigh. "Jeez. He's only fourteen. And he's basically leading an entire race."
Flourite looked down at Lars and smiled. "I think...this is...lovely! If Steven can...convince the diamonds...there will...be more hybrids! Like him! Won't that be...interesting?"
The captain let out a groan, but had a small grin on his face. "One of Steven is bad enough. I don't think I could handle more."
After a few minutes his hair glowed, and Connie popped out, along with Peridot and Garnet. "We're back Lars!"
"I noticed. Who's the green gem?"
Peridot huffed and folded her arms. "Peridot. My name is Peridot! I am Steven's best friend! Uh...I mean...besides Connie. I'm a technician. A kindergardener! Or at least I was. I can help you with the ship."
At this Lars smiled and nodded. "That would be great! I mean, we have been doing good as is, but any information would be helpful."
Garnet stepped forward, and handed Lars the communicator. "You'll need this."
He nodded and took it carefully. "Right. How do I use it?"
The fusion smiled softly. "To connect to Blue diamond's twist it to the right."
As he did the communicator turned blue. The screen grew and Blue pearl appeared. Her voice still had a soft tone. "This is Blue diamond's ship. Who are you? And how did you get this communicator?"
Before Lars could respond Garnet answered from off-screen. "This is Garnet. Lars is a friend of Steven's."
An excited sound came from the screen and Steven stood next to Blue pearl. "Lars! Guess where I am?!"
"Dude! I know where you are! How...are you feeling? Are you nervous?" He tried to keep his excitement contained as Steven shook his head.
The hybrid was grinning widely. "No way! I'm so excited! I'm heading to Homeworld! How are you?"
"Fine. We have been getting any resources we can. So...the diamonds?" Lars seemed nervous as he waited.
"Oh, they are fine! I have been learning a lot from Blue diamond!" He looked off screen for a second. "Do you want to talk to her?"
At this he shook his head. "No way! If she finds out about us we'll be in huge trouble!"
Steven shook his head slightly. "No you won't. I've been telling her about all of my friends, including you. Blue diamond! I have a friend for you to meet."
Before Lars could respond the screen shifted and Blue diamond stared at him curiously. "Oh, you must be the 'Lars' human I have heard about. You helped Steven get off of Homeworld. And now you are piloting a stolen ship with off-colored gems."
At this everyone in the room got nervous. "Ah...y-yes?"
She hummed as she thought to herself. After a few seconds of silence her eyes re-focused on the screen. "Lars. Where are you going now?"
He tried to force his nerves to calm down and he spoke quickly. "Earth. We're going home."
At this Blue diamond hummed again. "Would you come to Homeworld after you get to earth? Once you and your friends meet up, you can call with this same communicator, and I shall give you the co-ordinates to Homeworld."
He seemed slightly nervous again. "Why do you want me on Homeworld?"
"Simple. Steven seems to view you highly. I believe having you here may settle any nerves he may have. I am sure I can arrange for you to make trips to Homeworld at your leisure as long as Steven is here."
Lars relaxed in his chair, thinking to himself silently. "Can Steven hear me?"
"Yes. He has not left my pearls side."
He nodded, and smiled slightly. "Steven. I'll come visit you once I'm done on earth, alright? You can tell the Crystal gems when you get there, and I will head right for you. Sound good? We could catch up."
Steven was heard cheering off-screen. "Yes! It would be so cool to see you!"
Lars couldn't help but smile at his enthusiasm. "Alright. It's decided then. See you on Homeworld."
Blue diamond smiled and looked at Lars through the screen. "Very good. I will see to it that Emerald is informed. The ship is yours."
"Wha- do you have the authority to do that? I thought Emerald was under Yellow diamond's command?"
"She is. But with how this seems to be going, I can convince Yellow. Do not worry."
The space captain smiled and nodded. "That would be great! Thank you!"
She nodded back at him. "Thank you as well for being Steven's support. I will contact you in three days when Steven arrives."
Once the screen disappeared he sighed and leaned back. "Well, that was...something. Guess I'm going to Homeworld."
The off-colors all seemed nervous but Lars gave them a commanding look. "Don't worry, I'll be fine. And you have earth customs to see. So, Peridot? Would you check everything and see if we are good to go?"
Peridot dashed down to the engine room, and a few minutes later came back up. "Everything is fine. And fully operational."
With a nod he looked around at the off-colors. "Alright! We're heading to earth! Set a course."
All of the off-colors responded at once. "Yes sir!"
Garnet and Connie both gave each other a thumbs-up as the Sun incinerator shot off through space.
