An: Sorry this is up later than usual. I had a busy day, but it's up now! I hope you enjoy this chapter! Please leave reviews as it keeps me motivated to write and I love reading them.

"You need to be poof immediately Rose." Garnet knew that the future was bad.

"Why does she need to be poofed?" Greg questioned.

"Something is wrong inside her gem." Garnet had tears forming. "I think...something is wrong with Steven." She couldn't hold back her tears anymore.

"Please let him be okay." Amethyst whispered to herself so no one could hear her.

"I will make sure Steven reforms." Rose had tears coming out of her eyes.

"H-how will she poof?" Pearl shuttered.

"I will poof her." Lapis came forward.

"Do you agree with this Rose?" Garnet asked.

"If it's to save Steven, then yes." Rose closed her eyes.

"I can't watch this." Greg turned away in tears.

"Everyone step back." Garnet ordered.

"Are you sure you want to do this Lapis?" Peridot questioned feeling protective of Lapis.

"I've been wanting to do this for a long time." Lapis whispered to Peridot so no one else would hear.

"I'm ready." Rose put her hand on her gem.

"This might hurt a little." Lapis raised her water hand.

"Careful of her gem." Garnet stated getting a nod from Lapis.

"Take care of him." Rose smiled as tears came out of her eyes.

"We will." Amethyst answered for all of them.

"Here goes nothing." Lapis was a little afraid of cracking the gem.

Everyone turned away as Lapis picked up Rose with her water hand. She picked her up and held her over the water. Peridot was under Rose to catch the gem. Lapis squeezed her hand as tight as she could to poof Rose. It worked.

"I got it!" Peridot caught Steven's gem and slipped under water still holding his gem above water.

"Nice one." Garnet smiled a little lifting Peridot out of the water.

"Wow, thanks." Peridot's eyes went into stars.

"Good work Lapis." Garnet told Lapis. "His gem looks fine." Garnet left her shades off.

"When is he going to reform?" Pearl asked slightly nervous.

"He should reform sometime today." Garnet checked into the future.

"Is he okay?" Greg asked referring to Steven.

"I-I don't know." Garnet admitted.

"Please let him be okay Rose." Greg wiped away some of his tears.

"Now what do we do?" Amethyst asked.

"We wait." Garnet stoically stated as she put back on her shades.

"He should reform right away!" Lapis pointed out.

"The gem has to do more work to reform him. He is organic and the gem was only meant for one." Garnet tried her best to explain.

"He better reform." Lapis was still furious with Pearl.

"Should we wait in the Temple?" Pearl asked looking around.

"It's best." Garnet walked to the Temple while holding onto Steven's gem gently.

Everyone walked to the Temple. They were all nervous and stressed out about Steven. From what Garnet told them, Steven is not well.

"You guys can go back to the barn ya know." Amethyst looked at Lapis and Peridot.

"We want to be here when he reforms." Peridot answered for her and Lapis.

"Understandable." Amethyst nodded.

"Greg, you look tired." Garnet noticed. "You should get some rest." Garnet looked at Greg.

"I should be here when he comes back." Greg yawned.

"You can sleep in Steven's bed." Pearl wanted him to forgive her. "We will wake you up when he starts to reform." Pearl was freaking out on the inside.

"I-I don't know." Greg was unsure of what he should do.

"Don't you want to be ready for when Steven comes back?" Garnet questioned.

"You're right." Greg yawned while heading up the stairs to Steven's bed. "Promise me you will wake me up the moment he starts to come back." Greg looked down at everyone.

"We promise." Garnet answered for everyone.

"Okay." Greg went to sleep on Steven's bed.

"We should set his gem down on a pillow." Pearl thought.

"Here's one." Amethyst tossed a pillow off the couch to Pearl. It hit Pearl in the face.

"Ugh!" Pearl picked up the pillow off the ground. She knew she couldn't get mad at a time like this.

"Good idea." Garnet placed his gem carefully on the pillow which sat on the kitchen counter.

"This is taking forever." Lapis crossed her arms impatiently.

"This takes time." Garnet said in her stoic tone. She felt unstable, but she knew she had to be there when Steven reformed.

"What's going on here?" Connie entered the Temple without knocking.

"Connie!" Amethyst yelled.

"Shhh. Greg is sleeping." Garnet whispered.

"Why is she poofed?" Connie asked worriedly.

"It's a long story." Pearl blushed.

"I have time." Connie knew something was up.

"Why are you here?" Pearl tried to change the subject.

"I have training today. I didn't know if we were still doing it or not." Connie always looked forward to training. It distracted her.

"I didn't know you still wanted me to train you." Pearl blushed again.

"It's the only thing keeping me sane right now." Connie was having a rough week without Steven. "Now tell me what happened." Connie demanded.

"Steven is coming back, but he might not be well." Peridot was still trying to comprehend everything.

"You can thank Rose and Pearl for this." Lapis laughed annoyed.

"What?" Connie dropped her stuff she brought for training.

"She didn't know." Garnet was slightly annoyed that Connie was finding out this way.

"That's what makes this funny." Lapis laughed.

"How is this your fault?" Connie pointed at Pearl.

"I-I may have poofed him to get Rose back." Pearl backed up a little.

"That was a while ago." Amethyst wanted to ease the situation.

"What!" Connie yelled. "You poofed him and that's why Rose was here." Connie was piecing it together.

"I know it's hard to forgive, but we must right now. Steven is going to need us when he reforms." Garnet placed her hand on Connie's shoulder.

"What is wrong with Steven." Connie quickly turned towards Garnet.

"He may have been trapped in Rose's gem." Garnet tried to say it in terms Connie could understand.

"He was suffering in there?" Connie had tears building up. "All alone?" Connie's tears escaped her eyes.

"We don't know if that is the case, but it seems so." Garnet took off her shades.

"How could you!" Connie turned to Pearl in disbelief.

"I regret it a lot." Pearl was ashamed of herself.

"You hurt him." Connie pulled out Rose's sword.

"Connie, I-" Pearl wanted to be there when Steven reformed.

"No! You hurt the only friend I have! You hurt the only person I ever loved!" Connie had tears steaming down her face.

"Don't do this." Garnet looked down at Connie.

"I have to." Connie got Rose's sword ready to strike Pearl.

Schedule is still I update every other day.
