[After Ocean Gem and before Warp Tour]
The Crystal Gems are searching for a Gem Monster, on an magical Island. Their search comes to an end on the island's beach.
"Are you sure it's here?" Pearl asks Garnet as they both walk closer to ocean.
"It was," Garnet tells her as she crosses her arms and puts one hand under hear chin.
"Do you think it swam away?" Pearl asks her as she looks at the ocean.
"We'll have to look,"Garnet answers.
Alex and Steven walk across the beach and stop to look at the almost shining blue Ocean.
"Whoa...,"Steven says and continues to stare at the Ocean with open mouth.
"I agree, whoa...," Alex says with her arms crossed and a small smile on her lips.
"Come on, you two! It's time to go," Amethyst exclaims as she picks up Steven and carries him to the island's Warp pad.
"Awww, already..,"Steven says sadly.
Alex takes a last glance at the ocean before she sighs and walks after them.
Amethyst puts Steven down in front of the Warp Pad and steps on it.
"Wait, wait, can I warp us back?" He asks as he steps on the Warp pad.
Pearl and Garnet exchange a look and a smile makes it's way on Garnets lips.
"Alright," Pearl says and looks at Steven with a smile.
"Yes!" Steven exclaims.
Alex looks back at the Ocean with an almost sad look.
[flashback]
Alex turns around the mirror and tries to pull out the gem.
As she was trying to pull the gem out, the waves constantly splashing to create a pattern that is similar to the pattern on the back of the mirror.
Alex pulls the gem out and the mirror shatters.
The blue Gem levitates, soon it's forming a physical, humanoid form.
It looks different than the Crystal Gem but yet similar.
Alex blushes slightly as she sees the Gem in front of her.
"Thank you...You didn't-" The Gem falls forward but Alex catches it.
"You actually talked to me. You helped me..It's Alex, right?" The Gem asks her.
"Yes...and you are?" Alex asks her.
"I'm Lapis. Lapis Lazuli," Lapis says,
[Flashback end]
"Alex?!" Pearls voice snaps her out of her trance.
"Hmm?" Alex looks back at the others.
They all stand on the Warp Pad and look at Alex with a concerned look.
"Come on! Stop sleeping!" Amethyst tells her.
"Uhh.. ," Alex says quickly as she steps on the Warp Pad.
Pearl, Garnet and Amethyst exchange a worried look.
Steven extends his arms to his sides and begins concentrating.
The warp stream then beams the Crystal Gems away.
The Crystal Gems arrive safely back at the Crystal Tempel's Warp pad.
"I did it! I'm the warp master!" Steven gasps happily.
"You did great,"Pearl tells him as she and Garnet exchange a smile.
"Good job, Stev,"Alex says.
"Steeeeve-"Amethyst screams with her head shapeshifted into a fly.
"Waaaahh!"Steven falls off the Warp Pad in shock.
Alex smirks slighty but she's able to hold back her laughter.
"Amethyst! That's not funny!" Pearl scolds at her with her hands on her hips.
Amethyst shapeshifts her head back to normal with a smile on her face.
"It was a little bit funny," Garnet says slightly amused.
"Regardless, we need to warp back out," Pearl says.
"Can I warp us there?" Steven says as he gets up with the help of Alex.
"We're going underwater," Garnet tells him.
"And you two do need air to breathe," Pearl smiles worriedly.
"Then can I tel lall my friends I'm the warp master?" Steven asks her.
"I guess, but-"
Steven runs out of the house before Pearl can finish her sentence.
Alex simply blinks as she sees the door closing behind him.
"Alex, please make sure that Steven won't use the Warp Pad while we're gone,"Pearl tells her.
"Okay," Alex says shrugging as she watches the Crystal Gems warp away.
Alex sighs slightly and sits on the couch.
I don't have healing powers...then how did I healed Lapis? She thinks as she looks at her hands.
"Argh, who cares!"Alex exclaims and start meditating.
A few minutes later
"Alex! Alex!" Alex hears Steven's voice calling her and shaking her.
"What is it,Stev?" Alex answers still with her eyes closed.
"Sadie, Lars and I wanna use the Warp Pad. I want the to show that I'm a Warp master and Warp them to the Island we were today," Steven tells her.
Alex opens her eyes and looks at Steven.
"Sadie? And Salty Lars?" Alex asks.
She then notices Sadie and Lars standing behind him.
"Oh...Hi, Sadie,"Alex greets Sadie with a smile before she looks coldly at Lars.
"Hi,...jerk,"She says.
"Hi, Alex," Sadie greets her also with a smile while Lars scoffs with his arms crossed.
"Do you wanna come with us?" Steven asks Alex.
"Ehh...Steven...Pearl said that we shouldn't use the Warp Pad without her or Garnet,"Alex tells him
"Awww...come one, Alex!...We'll just go to the magical Island we were today...only for a little while," Steven says.
"...I don't know Steven...we shouldn't-" Alex says with her arms crossed.
"Please,"Steven begs her.
Alex and Steven stare at each other for a few seconds.
"...I can't say no to that face," Alex says with a soft smile.
"Yeah! Thanks Alex! You're the best!" Steven exclaims and hugs her.
"But only for a while...," Alex says seriously.
Steven nods and runs towards the Warp Pad.
"I'm...gonna be so in trouble...when mom...ahem I mean Pearl finds out," Alex says as she steps on the Warp pad.
She ignores the small blush on her cheeks.
"Okay, let's go,Stev," Alex says as everyone was standing on the Warp Pad.
Steven warps them onto the Island they were earlier
Alex looks at the surprised faces off Sadie and Lars with a small smirk on her face.
"We're here! Come on, this way!" Steven exclaims as he steps off the Warp pad and waves them to follow him.
Alex follows him with her hands in her pockets.
"This is way too weird. I'm going home," Lars says.
Alex rolls her eyes at him but she doesn't say anything.
"No, no follow me! You gotta see it!" Steven tells him.
"Come on, Lars! Give it a chance!" Sadie says with a smile as she also steps down the Warp Pad.
"Ugh. Fine, but if it blows, I'm out of here," Lars says as he rolls his eyes and follows Steven.
Lars and Steven walk ahead, leaving Sadie looking slightly dejected.
"It...would be such a pitty if the Warp Pad suddenly disappears...and we are forced to stay here," Alex says as she follows them.
"Am I right,Sadie?" Alex says as she looks behind her shoulder and winks at her before walking after the two boys.
The group then walks through to the Island jungle and arrive at the Island's Beach
"Welcome to paradise!" Steven exclaims happily.
Alex stares at the Ocean with a small smile.
"Oh, Steven, it' s beautiful here," Sadie says with a smile.
"It's a beach. WELIVE ON A BEACH!" Lars exclaims annoyed.
Alex only rolls her eyes at him but she doesn't say anything.
She notices the sad look on Sadies eyes and her eyes softens slightly.
"It's a magical beach!" Steven tells him.
"Is that why my phone has no reception?" Lars asks as he taps on her phone before he puts it back into his pocket.
"Why don't you take the phone and shove it...somewhere. Maybe then it'll work,"Alex glares slightly at Lars.
"Why were you even here?" Lars asks as he glares back at Alex.
"We came here to look for a Gem creature, that we never found," Steven explains. He says the last part in a „mysterious" tone.
"...Yup, I'm gone," Lars says after a while before her turns around and starts to walk away.
"Yep,...no one wants you here anyway...," Alex mumbles.
"Huh? Lars? Wait,Lars, this could actually be kind of fun!" Sadie tries to convince him as she walks after him.
Steven and Alex also follow them.
"If I'm going to be bored out of my mind, and possible die, I'm gonna go to work, and get paid for it," Lars says as he goes back through the jungle back to the Warp pad.
"Okay, where is it?" Lars asks Steven when he cannot find it.
"What?" Steven asks him as he, Alex and Sadie catch up to him.
"The teleporter thing! Where is it?!" Lars asks him as he slightly freaks out.
Alex looks at the pile of giant leaves that lie in front of Lars and she raises one of her eyebrows.
"Oh it wouldn't disappear, would it?" Sadie asks and looks at Steven.
"No, no,no,"Steven says calmly as he closes his eyes and waves his hand.
"...Maybe," Alex says shrugging although she looks the whole time at the leaf pile.
"What!?" Lars yells as he puts his hands on his head in disbelief.
"It could?"Steven look as Alex confused.
"...I mean...they probably have a time limit before they have to recharge...I guess,"Alex says blunt as she takes a short glance at Sadie.
"It's okay! The Gems will come to save us when they see us missing! Eventually...,"Steven says.
"Steven! How you could you do this?! We're stranded!" Lars yells as he starts to freak out and grabs Steven.
"Whoa, Whoa. Backoff, Lars!" Alex says as she pushes Lars away from Steven and stands in front of him.
"Calm down!"Sadie tells Lars.
"Is this really the worst place to be stuck in?" She points at the Waterfalls with geode formations.
"Ugh, you calm down. I'm gonna find better reception," Lars says annoyed.
"Good luck with that...Jerk," Alex mumbles under her breath.
The group walks deeper into the jungle and they reach a waterfall with beautiful geode formations
Steven and Alex look around the place both amazed.
"Well, I think it's amazing, Steven," Sadie says.
"Yeah," Alex says with a small smile.
"Nothing!" Lars says as he still looks for a phone signal.
Alex rolls her eyes at him.
"Guys! Check it out! I found these rocks that look like pillows!" Steven gasps and points at three pillow looking rocks.
"Good job,Steven," Alex and Sadie say at the same time.
"My rock is too close to those other rocks," Lars says in a grumpy voice.
He moves his rock far away from the others and lays down on it...after he hits his head on it.
Alex snores slightly as she sees him hitting his head on the rock.
What an Idiot!
What an Idiot!
What an Idiot! Alex nods her head in agreement before shaking her head in confusion
"Wait...there are only three pillows...what about you Alex?" Steven asks her.
"I'm gonna be fine, Steven. Don't worry about me," Alex says as she starts to meditate again.
"Sadie, I don'tknow what I'm doing wrong," Alex hears Steven says to Sadie.
"Tell me about it," Sadie says.
"You were going tolove it her soooo much, you'd never want to leave," Steven tells her.
"Don't worry,Lars is just a tough nut. He can't keep up the shtick forever," Sadie tries to comfort Steven.
"I could do without the audio commentary!" Lars says loudly.
Alex growls slightly before she shakes her head.
"Are you sure youdon't need to sleep, Alex?" Steven asks her.
"Yes, I'm sure,Steven...besides someone has to watch over this three kids," Alex says with a small grin.
"But won't to get tired?" Steven asks worriedly.
"Steven! Go to sleep! I...don't even wanna think about what...mom..is going to say once she finds out I let you use the Warp Pad and..I even came with you," Alex says without noticing that she called Pearl...mom.
"Okay...," Steven says smiling.
"Goodnight,Sadie...," Steven sighs.
"Night, Steven," Sadie says.
[Time Skip – Next day]
Sadie and Steven are trying to catch fish on the beach.
Alex watches them with her arms crossed and an amusing smile on her face.
A fish jumps out of the water and startles Sadie. She tries to hit it with a stick spear,but misses.
"Any late-lunch-early-dinner yet?" Steven asks her.
Sadie sighs, "No luck. What about you?" She looks at him.
"Mmm...no,"Steven says.
Lars walks by and looks at them.
Alex ignores him completely.
"But I can see why," Steven pulls the fishing line revealing a wiggling worm with a happy face, "My bait is too adorable to eat. Everything on this island has such a bright happy smile," he says.
Sadie and Steven turn to look at Lars and Alex.
"Ugh, no signal over here either," Lars says as he tries to walk away.
Alex rolls her eyes as takes out her Katana out of her Gem.
"Hey! Uh, maybe you should help out! If you wanna eat!" Sadie tells him.
Lars covers his ears, feigning ignorance.
Sadie grunts and stabs her spear into the water in frustration, unintentionally spearing two fishes in one go.
"Sadie! We're gonna live!" Steven exclaims.
"Yeah...but it's only two fishes and we are four people..." Sadie tells him.
"Here," Alex shows them another two fishes on the Katanas blade.
"Yes!" Steven cheers happily.
Sadie goes over to Lars and holds the speared fishes out to him.
"I catch, you cook!" Sadie says angrily.
"First of all we catch and second I don't wanna eat something that was cooked by the salty Jerk Lars," Alex says and takes her own fish while giving the other one to Sadie.
"You ain't the boss of me," Lars tells Sadie.
Sadie grabs his shirt and drags him away.
"Whatever," He says rolling his eyes.
[Time Skip ]
Lars cooks the three fishes and pokes one with a stick.
"I don't know,looks done to me," He says and places a cooked fish on a leaf, "Ooh! Who's first?"
"Me, me, me!" Steven exclaims and raises his hand.
Lars hands the cooked fish to Steven.
Steven stares the fish in the eyes, unwilling to eat it.
"It keeps lookingat me!" Steven says.
"Maybe it knows it's your fault for getting us lost," Lars says and hands a fish to Sadie.
"Thank you,"Sadie tells him.
"Shut up, Salty Jerk!" Alex says and glares at him.
Lars ignores her glare as he continues to cook his fish.
Steven sighs as he puts a leaf over the eyes of his fish.
"Mmmmm! Lars,this is really good!" Sadie says as she eats her fish.
"Hm?" Lars looks at her confused.
"You can really cook!" She tells him.
"Heh, 's microwave," Lars says.
Sadie giggles at Lars' joke, causing him to chuckle along too.
Alex looks at them with an unamused expression while Steven smiles widely.
Steven stands up in joy, "Could this night get any better?!" He exclaims.
"Sit down and eat your fish Steven," Alex tells him.
Steven begins to play his ukulele.
"Please, no singing!" Alex says annoyed.
Steven: Isn't this such a beautiful night. Whoah, we're underneath a thousand shining stars. Isn't it nice to find yourself somewhere different. Whoah why don't you let yourself just be wherever you are.
Sadie makes a spear while Steven, Lars and Alex gather some big leafs.
Sadie and Alex then catch some fish, Sadie uses her spear while Alex uses her Katana.
Steven:Come on, Alex!
Alex: What?...
She looks at him as he looks at her with his puppy eyes.
She sighs and rolls her eyes.
Alex: Look at this magical place and look at your faces...
Lars cooks the fishes of everyone except Alex who cooks her own fishes with a bored expression.
Alex:I can't remember ever you seeing you likes this before
Together they build a hut, Sadie and Steven are inside the hut while Lars and Alex are outside.
Alex is sitting on top of a tree while Lars is sitting on the Sand and looking at the hut.
Alex sees him walk inside the hut.
She smiles slightly before she stares at the Ocean with a small frown.
A flashback of Lapis splitting the Ocean and walking away is playing in her head.
Alex: Isn't it nice to find yourself somewhere different? Why don't you let yourself just be wherever you are.
Steven: Look at this place,
Steven runs along the Beach with Sadie and Lars walking behind him while Alex stands at the beach and stares at the Ocean with a frown.
They all look filthy and dirty it seems that they are indeed stuck on the island longer than they actually wanted.
Steven: look at your faces. They're shining like a thousand shining stars
Suddenly a fish jumps out of the Ocean and bites Sadies arm. Lars holds onto Sadie to prevent the Fish pulling her into the Ocean, Steven is holding Lars.
Alex looks at them for a while before summoning her Katana as she rolls her eyes.
She stabs the fish.
Alex: Isn't it nice to find yourself somewhere different? Why don't you let yourself just be wherever you are.
Lars tends her wound while Alex cooks the fish that tried to eat Sadie's arm. She rolls her eyes clearly annoyed.
Steven: Why don't you let yourself just be somewhere different? Whoa, why don't you let yourself just be wohever you are.
Alex sleeps on top of tree while the rest is sleeping in their selfmade hut.
[Time Skip]
[Next Morning]
Alex is sitting on the same tree meditating.
"Alex!" Sadie calls her.
She opens her eyes and looks down at Sadie with an clearly annoyed look.
"Did you see where Lars went?" Sadie asks her.
"Salty Lars went missing? Finally some good news. No, I haven't seen him," Alex says.
"But I think that we all would appreciate if we all could come back home already. If only the Warp Pad would appear again it would be very great," She mumbles with a soft glare at Sadie.
After some times Alex sees the Group walk back towards the hut.
Suddenly the ground starts to rumble. Footsteps and groans are heard as the hut spontaneously collapses, causing everyone but Alex to scream in shock.
"What the heck?!" Lars latches on to Sadie protectively, and she sighs dreamily.
"It must be the Gem," Alex jumps down the tree with her Katana ready.
The Gemstone lifts off the ground and dives towards Steven.
Steven quickly encases himself, Lars and Sadie in a bubble shield as Alex jumps between them and the Gem.
She is blocking something she can't see which is obviously not so easy.
The Gemstone throws Alex against the bubble, knocking it and the Group off the cliff.
"Argh! Heck!" Alex jumps right after them.
She lands next to them group on a ledge on the cliff.
A loud thunder groals and a heavy rain, rains down on them.
"We have to get out of here!" Alex yells at them.
The group start running away through the rain.
"What was that thing?!" Lars asks.
"It must be what the Gems were looking for! It never left the island at all! It's invisible." Steven grins.
"Yep! I will defentily be in big trouble once we get back home," Alex says.
"A big invisible thing if after us?! I-I-I want to go home! I wanna go home!" Lars starts to cry hysterically.
"Pfft! What a salty baby!" Alex mutters as she looks at Sadie.
Sadies holds her face and overwhelming guilt is written on it. Without hesitation, Sadie grabs Lars and drects the group into the jungle.
"This way!" Sadie exclaims.
"..Okay," Lars says hesitantly.
"Finally!" Alex exclaims.
More thunder roars as Sadie grabs a pile of leaves and throws them aside, revealing the Warp Pad underneath.
Alex looks at Lars who is startled in the revelation.
"It's the Warp Pad!" Steven exclaims surprised.
"Yeah! Who could've think that the Warp Pad could've been under the definetly not obvious pile of leaves. What a Twist!" Alex exclaims sarcasticly.
"Lars, come on! Let's go home!" Sadie yells and tries to pull a heartbroken Lars onto the Warp Pad, who quickly glares at her in anger.
"You knew!" Lars wrenches his arm away from Sadie.
"Uh, guys?" Steven asks confused.
"Ugh!" Alex facepalms.
"It's her fault we've been trapped here!" Lars points at Sadie angrily.
"Whaaaaaat?!" Steven exclaims shocked.
"Honestly, did all of you missed the pile of leaves? Am I the only one who figuret it out from the beginning?" Alex asks.
"YOU?! You knew that! And you didn't tell us?!" Lars yells at Alex.
"It's not mine fault that you are not only as Salty as you look but also blind and Stupid, Jerk. Stop crying and step on to the Warp Pad!" Alex tells him in a calm but annoyed voice.
"Look, I panicked! I hid the Warp Pad! You were just gonna leave, but I knew how much you really needed this! Why don't you ever let me help you?!" Sadie exclaims.
"Help me? Are you insane? You trapped me on an island, so you could come on to me!" Lars yells and wraps his arms around himself and sulks.
"Aaaah!" Sadie slaps Lars's body, " You kissed me on..The mouth!"
"Eww," Alex mumbles.
"No, I didn't" Lars exclaims.
Sadie keeps slapping Lars.
"Guys, I want to be mad too, but can we do it on the Warp Pad?!" Steven exclaims.
"I don't know Stev. It is kinda entertaining to see Lars getting beaten," Alex says smirking.
Suddenly Sadie slaps Lars too hard and knocks him off a cliff into a pit of mud.
"And a dead Lars?! Can this day become even better?" Alex grins.
"Lars!" Sadie yells, she and Steven rush forward and look down into the pit.
"Oh, gosh..."She says.
Lars slowly gets up in the mud pit as he groans in pain, when the Gem appears and charges towards Lars.
He screams in fear.
Sadie slides down into the mud pit.
"Hey! Sadie! What are you-?" Alex breaks off as she sees Sadie charge into the monster, knocking it into the mud.
"Brilliant!" She exclaims and takes out her Katana.
The Invisible Gem Monster, now covered in mud, roars and engages towards Sadie.
Before the Gem Monster coould reach Sadie and Salty Jerk, Alex jumps right between them.
She clearly remembers that does Gem Monsters are just like the Crystal Gems and she slightly hesitates.
"Go, Alex!" Steven cheers.
Alex shakes her head and rolls between the Monsters legs, dodging it's attack.
She sees it's Gem is on it's chest.
The Gem Monster and Alex glare at each other.
Alex eye starts to glow green and she rushes again towards the Monster.
She impales her Katana all the way through it.
The Monster poofs away into a blue cloud, leaving only its gem in the mud.
Alex looks at Sadie and Lars, her eye still glowing.
"You okay?" She asks them.
Both of them nod with their eyes and mouths wide open.
"Whoa!" Steven cheers as he climbds down into the mud pit.
"Alex did you get faster? Because you were standing here and then I blink and them Gem Monster poofs," Steven says excitedly.
"..Eh, I guess so?" Alex says rubbing her neck.
"Oh. Oh, I got this!" Steven says as he bubbles the gem, "The Gems are gonna be so impressed. We captured a gem all by ourselves!"
"Yeah, and Pearl will defenitly be happy that I alowed you to use the Warp Pad," Alex says with less enthusiasm.
Lars offers a high-five to Sadie, but she just walks past him.
The group eventually makes it back on the Warp Pad.
"Sadie! You were amazing!" Steven exclaims.
"I agree. It is much easier to defeat the Gem when you can actually see it," Alex says.
"Yeah... that was really great, how you... uh, s-saved me.." Lars says.
"Don't read into it," Sadie says coldly.
"We should do this again sometimes," Steven suggests.
"...No!" Alex says bluntly.
Steven warps the group away, as the star iris zooms in on the Warp Pad.
