"So?" Yellow Diamond smirked, waiting for Jasper to say an answer.
"I... I don't know, ma'm." Jasper finally answered. But her voice cracked in between her sentence. "Oh, come on soldier, don't you wanna get that Peridot jealous." Yellow Diamond mused. Jasper hesitated. "Maybe." Jasper mumbled. "But not like this."
"Wouldn't it be fun to raise a gemling or two together?" Yellow Diamond asked, backing away from her.
"I don't know. I'm not really a motherly type." Jasper shrugged.
Yellow Diamond stood in front of her, with a determined look. "I'm not a motherly type either, this is perfect for the both of us."
"True, but-" Jasper started, but got cut off by Yellow Diamond. "Hush. This will be perfect dear. It'll be perfect for our future." Yellow Diamond interrupted.
"I guess it will be good... plus, I might get to see Peridot jealous." Jasper chuckled. "That's the spirit, dear." Yellow Diamond said, a smile going across her face. "Having gemlings will be great, you'll see."
Cyan fluttered open her eyes. She realized she wasn't in the ship. The surroundings around her didn't seem familiar. "You're finally awake!" Dootzie yelled, hugging her sister.
"Dootzie, where are we?" Cyan asked.
"You're at Homeworld." Lapis answered. Cyan looked up to see her mother with a happy smile. "Homeworld?" Cyan narrowed her eyes.
"Yeah. This is where your mom and I came from." Lapis said, stroking Cyan's hair. "But why are we here?" Cyan asked.
"Just to do some work." Lapis responded. "But what do you think about Homeworld?"
"It's great!" Dootzie exclaimed, as she put her hands on her sister's head and pushed her weight up. "It's fine." Cyan replied.
"What do you mean it's just 'fine', it's amazing!" Dootzie huffed. "I don't know. I haven't looked around Homeworld yet, so I can't say it's that great." Cyan shrugged.
"Why don't you girls look around Homeworld. But don't wander too far and don't talk to strangers." Peridot said. The gemlings nodded, then ran off. "Do you think they're gonna be okay?" Lapis asked, worried. "I'm sure they're gonna be fine. The gems on Homeworld don't harm gemlings." Peridot told her.
"But do you think they're gonna get in trouble?" Lapis asked again, biting her lip. "I really don't know about that actually, maybe we should follow them." Peridot suggested.
"How about you stay here and I'll go watch them." Lapis said. "Sure. But be careful, gems could still harm other gems." Peridot cautioned her. Lapis nodded, then flew towards Cyan and Dootzie's direction.
"Come on, I'll show you that Homeworld is fantastic!" Dootzie exclaimed, a big smile on her face. "If you say so, little sis." Cyan scoffed. She still wasn't interested.
"Let's go!" Dootzie tugged her. Cyan's gaze fixed at the sky. It was beautiful.
"Like the sky, Cy?" Dootzie asked. Cyan was too distracted, she didn't realize Dootzie called her Cy.
"Yeah." Cyan murmured. "I know, it's pretty." Dootzie looked up at the purplish sky. "I can't wait until my water wings project out of my gem."
Dootzie didn't pay attention to where she was going, making her end up bumping into somebody's leg. "Ow." Dootzie whimpered, rubbing her head.
"You okay?" Cyan asked. "Sort of." Dootzie answered.
"Why, hello little gemlings. You seem lost." The gemlings looked up to see a pink gem. Somebody else came to close to the pink person.
"I guess we're a little lo-" Dootzie spoke.
"Nope. We're fine!" Cyan interrupted, covering her sister's mouth quickly. "Are you sure?" The other gem asked. Cyan nodded. "What's wrong, Cyan?" Dootzie whispered, slightly removing Cyan's hand. "We're not supposed to talk to strangers. Remember mommy said that." Cyan reminded her.
"Come on, we won't bite." The pink gem extended her hand to the gemlings. "See Cyan. She won't bite." Dootzie whispered. She grabbed the gems hand and dragged her sister along with them.
Lapis searched for Cyan and Dootzie, but she didn't find no trace of them. "Dang it, where could they be?" Lapis gritted her teeth. She couldn't help but go back to Peridot, to see maybe she could track them down. This was no good. Even if Homeworld didn't hurt young ones, it was still a ruthless place. They could still hurt them if they wished to. And the thought of the gemlings getting hurt made Lapis cringe a bit.
They had to find the gemlings. Somewhere.
