Your girl Night is back, I own neither Ninjago or Steven Universe. Oh yeah I made Garmadon good again.
Steven was showing the Ninja and their families around beach city. Wu asked about the possibility of opening a dojo for teaching martial arts and Kai's parents decided to help Bismuth teach blacksmithing, Ray was ecstatic when he saw her forge. Lou and Greg had become good friends and Lou was helping Saddie with vocal exercises. Nya quickly befriended lapis and added a new section to the art class, functional art with Jay helping out. Jay's parents set up their junk yard again with the help of Pale's Chrysoprase gems, it was a very popular spot for getting stuff for meep-morps. Kai got a job at Fish Stew Pizza tending the ovens, on top of all the Pizza he wanted. Misako got a job at the library. Everyone was happy and had found or made a place for themselves over the past six months. Beach city was a very accepting place and things were working out well, except for one person, or rather, one gem. Pink seemed to be avoiding everyone and everything, preferring to hide in her room of the temple. Steven sighed, of all the gems he had helped find a new purpose, he never imagined needing to help his mother. She came out of her room and saw Steven.
"Hi mom," said Steven with a small smile. Pink looked at him,
"Oh, Steven, I didn't see you there," said Pink
"Did your father send you to come get me?' asked Pink looking around for Greg,
"No, I wanted to talk to you myself," said Steven
"Oh," said Pink. Steven sat on the couch and patted the seat next to him. Pink turned into Rose so she could better fit on the couch. They sat next to each other, silent at first.
"I used to be so angry with you, for well, everything, but then I realized that I forgot about how you changed, I forgot that you had tried to become better because I learned about you kind of backward, you used to be someone I strived to be like, then the more I learned about your past the more I wanted to be nothing like you, I forgot that by the time you had me, you had changed, the you that had me and the you before you met dad, are two different people, I forgot that. I forgot you were a person striving to change and that you had," said Steven
"Steven, I made so many mistakes, I hadn't thought that if the past came back, it would be you dealing with those mistakes, that's probably the biggest mistake I ever made," said Pink
"Things are half fixed, but we still have a long way to go before everything is better," said Steven. Rose wanted to hug her son, she had never been able to hold her baby, now everything was awkward and she didn't know if he would even want her to hug him.
"Steven, I know there's a lot to fix but could we maybe start with a hug?" asked Rose apprehensive about how Steven would respond, he was almost 17 and had probably outgrown hugs. Steven climbed into her lap and allowed her to hold him, it felt good to be held by his mother. Right now she wasn't an interstellar being, she wasn't a liar, a warrior or a tantrum-throwing brat, she was just his mom, who loved him and wanted to be his mother. Steven felt the stress of the last 4 years building up, all the exhaustion and fear he had repressed, every last stressful memory all hitting him at once, and he cried, he sobbed into his mother's embrace, clutching her, needing this moment with her. Rose rubbed Steven's back as she held him, this is what mothers did, she had watched mothers for so long during her time on Earth, she just never realized how wonderful it felt to hold her child and comfort him, to know he needed and wanted her. Greg came into the house after grocery shopping, he saw Rose and Steven. He dropped the bags on the counter and went to his girlfriend and Son.
"Hey Stuball, what's wrong?" asked Greg, joining the hug.
"Nothing, everything is perfect for once," sniffed Steven, smiling but not letting go of his parents. Pearl had entered the room, none of the three seeing her but she smiled.
"Happily ever after here we are," she sang quietly and left, wanting to give the family a bit of alone time. Volleyball was waiting for her and smiled, taking Pearl's hand in hers. Meanwhile, Pale blue was laying in a field, shrunk down to the size she was as Zane. Cole came up to her after a long day of helping out at Wu's new dojo.
"Hey," smiled Cole
"Hey," said Pale. Cole lay down next to her and pulled her close.
"Everyone is happy and the universe is at peace, the corrupted gems are completely healed and Pink talked to jasper. Any plan to thwart the peace will be taken care of swiftly, things are perfect," said Pale closing her eyes and cuddling close to Cole.
"Ninjago will find new heroes, the elemental masters are still there, they can handle things," said Cole, thinking allowed
"Wu doesn't seem too worried so I don't think we should worry either," said Pale
"Yeah, though guess who came by the dojo asking for a job," laughed Cole
"Who?" asked Pale
"Jasper, Wu told her he'd have to teach her a few things before she could teach other gems, mainly when not to fight and stuff like that, I think he scared her," said Cole
"Big bad Jasper scared of old Wu, ha, now that's hilarious" said Pale.
"Is Steven finally talking to his mom?" asked Cole
"Yeah, I think so, I think Lloyd talked to him," said Pale.
"Wonder how soon it will be before Greg and Pink get married," said Cole
"That will be the biggest event in gem history, a human marrying a diamond," said Pale
"I wonder if Lloyd will ever have a whole family," said Cole
"I might go back to Ninjago and try to reform Garmadon, I'll be back soon," said Pale, Kissing Cole and going back to her normal size, she opened a portal between the two realms and went through, landing right in front of Garmadon.
"What the? Who are you?" exclaimed Garmadon as he was currently trapped in the grasp of the massive woman in front of him.
"I am Pale Blue Diamond, for you transgressions against friends of the great diamond pentarchy you are to be reformed in the water of roses," said Pale, she reopened the portal and went back to Earth, Garmadon firmly clutched in her fist so he couldn't move. She went to Rose's fountain and dropped Garmadon into it, if diamond essence could bring a human back to life, she figured the essence of five diamonds could reform an Oni. She waited, hoping her assumptions were right. She shifted to look like Zane again, someone Garmadon would recognize. Zane smiled when the gray-haired sensei came up for air, it worked.
"Hello Sensei Garmadon," said Zane
"Zane? Where am I, where's that massive woman?" asked Garmadon. Zane laughed and Shifted back to her normal form.
"You mean me?" asked Pale
"What's going on?" asked Garmadon, looking around
"This isn't Ninjago,"
"You're right, it's not, it's my home realm," said Pale
"Where is Lloyd?" asked Garmadon
"Back in the town we all live in now, he's helping Wu run a new dojo" said Pale. She shifted down to a more reasonable size.
"It might be easier for Wu to explain everything," said Pale. They got onto the warp and went into little homeworld. They then went into town and found the other ninja and Wu at Lars's shop eating cake.
"DAD!" exclaimed Lloyd, jumping into his father's arms. It was the aftermath of the last battle all over again, only this time, Garmadon was back for good. Pale smiled and walked off, knowing the family needed some alone time. She looked towards the temple and saw Pink and Greg with Steven, all of them seemed really happy, Pale saw a glint of silver on Pink's hand, an engagement ring no doubt. Pale smiled as she walked into the meadow she was planning on doing something drastic, but it would ensure Cole stayed with her forever.
