Inside Lapis and Peridot's shared room, they are on their bed, while Emerald is still asleep.
"Lapis?" Peridot calls the gem, who is on her arm.
"Yes?"
"Do you wanna take a walk? You know, it has been ages since we did something just the two of us." Peridot said, hugging Lapis.
"Hmmm... I don't know..." Lapis looks at Emerald's bed.
"Lapis, she is gonna be okay."
"Are you sure? She is only 4 years old... a kid. I don't know if leaving her alone is a good idea."
"My love, she is asleep, nothing is going to happen and, well, she is Emerald. She is going to be fine."
"Peridot, not today."
"Please, my water queen." Peridot kisses her wife's neck.
"Peri, that is not fair..." Lapis closes her eyes, smiling in pleasure.
"You are mine, Lapis Lazuli." Peridot kisses the other gem's shoulder.
"Peridot!" Lapis catches her breath.
"Yes?" Peridot looks at Lapis's eyes and raises an eyebrow, while giving her wife a big smile.
"Don't tease me out!" She rolls her eyes. "Can we go already?"
"Of course we can."
Lapis and Peridot stand up and the ocean gem gives her wife a dirty look.
"What was that for?" Peridot asks.
"Oh, you are gonna find out." Lapis moves her hips more than usual while walking towards Peridot. She gives her hand to her wife and leads them out the room.
Once they are out, they find Blue Topaz and Garnet sit on the sofa.
"Hello Topaz." Lapis kneeld in front of the blue gem.
"Hi, Lapis." Topaz smiles at the other gem.
"Hello, Garnet." Peridot waves.
"Hello, Peridot."
"Well, can I ask you a favor?"
"Yes, I can watch Emerald for you." Garnet smiles.
"Oh... thank you, Garnet... She is sleeping right now and I don't think we're gonna come back late. Knowing Lapis, she is not going to want to be away from our daughter for too long." Peridot tells Garnet, who laughs.
"You are welcome, Peridot."
Peridot and Garnet look at Lapis and Topaz, who are talking to each other.
"So, Lapis, you are mad at me, right?" Topaz looks away.
"Of course not, Topaz. I'm not mad." Lapis smiles and places her hand on his head.
"But, I went with Emerald inside of a dangerous part of the temple."
"It is not your fault. I know that you're kids and you both like dangerous stuff." Lapis touches Topaz's hair. "But, you should not do that again, okay?"
"Okay."
"Alright." Lapis stands up.
"Ready to go Peri?" Lapis asked.
"I'm always ready. See you later!" Peridot waves at the two on the sofa.
"See you." Topaz waves back.
"Bye." Lapis says, while walking out of the house with Peridot.
Garnet looks at her son, who is looking at door of the temple.
"Don't you dare, little man." Garnet crosses her arms.
"Oh, mom, please. They are gone." Topaz begs.
"A no is a no. You are not playing with Emerald today. Next time, you will not go inside the temple without permission."
"But mom…" Topaz tries again.
"No, Topaz."
Blue Topaz maked an angry face and crosses his arms, making Garnet smile.
"Hey, angry boy, be careful with the sofa. Steven will not be happy if his furniture is all burned." And then, the sofa starts to freeze.
"Or frozen."
"I can control my temperature. You know that, mom. I can have ice and fire on my hands whenever I want." Topaz makes a fireball on his left hand and an iceball right.
"But when you are mad, you can't do that." Garnet holds the fireball and smiled.
Blue Topaz gets surprised when his mom takes his fireball away from him.
"Now, you know my secret."
Garnet laughs. "I always knew that, Topaz."
"How I didn't notice that? You are my mom. You will always know my secrets." Topaz hugs Garnet, but, suddenly, her smile Garnet disappears.
"What's wrong, mom?"
"Jasper and Steven." Garnet stands up and opens the temple's door.
"W-what happened?" He runs towards his mom.
"A third corrupted gem appeared and they will not be okay. Pearl and Amethyst!" Garnet shouts inside the temple.
In a few seconds the two other gems appear.
"Yes, Garnet?" Pearl looks at the fusion.
"We need to help Steven and Jasper."
"What happened?"
"I will explain, but now we need to go." Garnet runs towards the warp pad.
Garnet looks at her son, trying to make the best decision.
"Blue Topaz, stay inside the house until Lapis and Peridot come back. If Emerald wakes up, please, try not to break the house. Don't go outside and don't go inside my room. Okay?" Garnet crosses her arms.
"Alright, good luck!" Topaz makes a thumbs up.
"Thank you. I love you. Bye!" Garnet warps them out.
"See you later." Amethyst waves and they disappear.
"And now I am alone." He sits on the floor. "Or not that alone." Topaz stands up and run towards the Temple's door. Once he is inside Lapis and Peridot's room, Topaz start to walk around the room, waiting until Emerald wakes up, however, she doesn't do that, so, he finally decides to wake her up.
"Hey, Eme." He shakes her shoulder. "Wake up, Eme."
"Ugh, only more 5 minutes." She moves her body to the other side of the bed.
"Come on, Eme, you don't even need to sleep." He complains.
Emerald gives up and opens her eyes. "Blue? What are you doing here?"
"Well, I am here to play with you." Topaz said.
"But, we are not allowed to play until tomorrow. How did you even get here?"
"Well, your mothers decided to take a walk alone, Steven and Jasper are in trouble and my mom, Pearl and Amethyst went to help them. So, we are alone!" Topaz said.
"Really? It never happened before." Emerald sits, surprised.
"Isn't it cool?" Topaz asked.
"Yeah!" She thinks about something that they could do.
"Hey, Topaz, I have an idea!"
"What's that?"
"Well, my mother has a really amazing computer around here. She never let me see that thing because it is an old gem machine created for the Diamonds and bla-bla-bla. I do not even know who the Diamonds are, anyway..."
"Well, where is it?"
Emerald smiles and runs towards the end of the room, where the computer is. They sit on the chair placed in front of it.
"Well, let me see. First she places her hand on this part of the computer." Emerald places her hand on a gem handheld reader, making the computer turn on.
"Wow, amazing!" Topaz with stars on his eyes.
"I know right? Well, then, she moves the chair closer." Emerald moves the chair.
"This gem stuff is really cool, Eme!" He laughs.
"Yeah, it is… Now… let me see. What we have here…" Emerald read the things that the computer has. "Gem constructions, gem spaceships, warp pads, localization of the kindergartens, call Home and a lot of other things."
"What is a kindergarten?" Topaz asks, confused.
"I don't know… But I just found out that this computer is a phone." Emerald points at the screen.
"How did you find that out?"
"Well, here it has a thing called 'Call Home'."
"Let's try it. It looks amazing."
"So, 1, 2, 3 and go." She says, pressing the button.
The computer's screen shows a quick message on the screen. "You are calling Home, it looks like that the Diamonds are in an important duty. Leave a video message." and it starts filming the two gemlings.
"What did it write?"
"I don't know. It was too fast. I am only 4 years old and gem language is hard to understand. But, look at it. It is filming us." Emerald said.
"Haha… hey, look at my amazing funny face." He shows his tongue.
Emerald laughs. "Topaz, that is too dumb."
"Hey, you are dumb!" He says, tickling Emerald.
"Hey! That is not fair!" She laughs.
"Haha, feel my entire brave!" He shouts.
"Stop, I need to turn this thing off. My mothers are going to come back soon."
"Yeah, they are. Let's say bye to the computer!" He smiles.
"Bye computer!" They say together, finishing the video.
"Well… what about now?" Emerald gets out of the chair.
"We can go to the house and sleep on the couch until someone comes back."
"Alright. Let's go." She opens the door. "I am still tired."
Hours later, the two gemlings are still sleeping on the couch and the first ones to show up are not Lapis and Peridot.
"It was really intense." Steven says, tired.
"Yeah, it was!" Amethyst laughs.
"Ughh. I still don't understand why you just bubble them. They deserve to die." Jasper crosses her arms.
"Jasper, it is not their fault. They are corrupted." Steven makes a frown.
Steven is almost 21 years old and almost Jasper's height.
"Ughh. I will be inside of my room." Jasper rolls her eyes and walks into her room.
"I don't understand. It has been 4 years since she became a Crystal Gem, but she still has complaints about it." Pearl places her hands on her waist.
"She is a quartz. I understand her." Amethyst tells Pearl. "I'll talk to her later."
"Well…" Steven looks at the sofa. "Hey, look at who slept while waiting for us." Steven smiles.
"Well, they didn't destroy the house that is a good thing." Garnet laughs and Steven kneels in front of the sofa.
"Hey, kids. Look at who is back." He says, touching the heads of gemlings, making them open their eyes.
"Steven!" They shout, jumping on Steven.
"Hello, guys. Garnet told me you were in trouble today. Is that true?" Steven raises an eyebrow.
"Maybe." Topaz looks away.
"Maybe, Topaz?" Steven laughs.
"Yeah, you know, ah, okay. Yes." Topaz crosses his arms.
"You really like action." Steven messes with Topaz's hair.
"Yeah!" Emerald agrees with Steven.
"Where are your parents, Emerald?" Stevens asks the little girl.
"Right here!" Lapis opens the house's door, with Peridot right behind here. It looks like they were running before they got there and that is because they were running. They had to since they were beyond late.
"Where were you?" Steven raises an eyebrow.
"You know, spending some time together…" Lapis looks away, blushing.
"But, we spent more time than planned." Peridot completes.
"Hey, what are you doing out of bed at 3 a.m, Emerald?" Lapis walks in.
"I was waiting until everybody csme back." Emerald gets down from Steven's arm.
"W-what do you mean with that?"
"I will tell you about that later." Garnet looks at the couple. "Now, it is bed time."
"But, mom. I don't have to sleep." Topaz holds Steven's neck.
"You are going to sleep. Come on." Garnet takes him from Steven's arm. "Goodnight everybody."
"Goodnight." Topaz makes an angry face.
"Goodnight." Everybody waves.
"Bye, Topaz" Emerald smiles.
"Bye, Eme." He gets inside of Garnet's room with her.
"Now, your turn, little girl." Peridot picks up Emerald.
"Goodnight, guys." Emerald waved.
"Goodnight, Emerald." They wave back at her.
"Bye bye." Lapis opens their door.
"See you later." Peridot walks inside the room.
"They grew up too fast." Steven places his hands on his waist.
"Yeah, they did." Pearl smiles. "It looks like yesterday those two were crying around the house, driving everyone crazy.
"Hehe, just like you Steman." Amethyst punches gently Steven's arm.
"Hehe, yeah." Stevens scratches the back of his head.
While the gems on Earth think they are safe on Earth, little do they know what is happening inside Yellow Diamond Control Room back on Homeworld.
"Ughhh. Blue Diamond can't give me a break. Pearl, check if I don't have any messages." Yellow Diamond sits on her throne, crossing her legs.
"Well, you have one, my Diamond." Yellow Pearl makes the diamond salute.
"Play it." The ruler orders.
In a few seconds a screen shows up in front of the diamond, showing two kids in a record.
"What did it write?" One of them says.
"I don't know. It was too fast. I am only 4 years old and gem language is difficult to understand. But, look at it. It is filming us." The other one points at the screen.
"My Diamond, what are them?" The Pearl asks.
"Shhh. Wait." The Diamond silences the pearl.
"Hehe… Topaz, that is too dumb."
"Hey, you are dumb!"
"That is not fair!"
"Haha, feel my entire brave!"
"Pearl?" The diamond finally talks.
"Yes, my Diamond?"
"From where is this?"
"Well, it says that the video came from the planet Earth, m-my Diamond." Yellow Pearl freezes while reading the information.
"Did you see the blue one? He has a gem on his hand and the green one has her gem on her back! They are gemlings!" Yellow Diamond shouts.
"B-but, how is it even possible, my diamond? There aren't gems on that planet. We destroyed the Peridot and the Jasper and Lapis Lazuli were destroyed by the ship." Yellow Pearl reminds her diamond. "We send a Red Eye to that planet every rotation."
"I know… unless…" Yellow Diamond closed her eyes and takes a deep breath.
"W-what, my Diamond?"
"Unless Rose Quartz is still alive!" Yellow Diamond punches the side of her throne.
"B-but if she is still alive, why the gemlings were allowed to call you and the other Diamonds?"
"They are gemlings. They don't even know what they are doing. Pearl, call the rest of the diamonds. We need to find out what is going on that planet." The Diamond looks at the paused picture of Emerald and Topaz. "This green one looks familiar." She stands up and leaves the room with her pearl right behind her.
