Rose remembers Spinel, and goes to get her. She introduces her to the Crystal gems

Rose dashed to the warp pad. How could she just leave her there? Why would she ever forget her? Did the war really take that much time? Had she really let the war cloud her thoughts? She hoped she would find her.

As the warp activated, Spinel looked up hopefully. However, who she saw didn't look like Pink. But...she could sense it.

That was her. Pink had finally come back.

Spinel slowly walked forward, timid and nervous. "Pink...?"

Rose smiled softly at her, and sat down. "Yes. It's me, Spinel."

The shy gem walked closer to her. "Where...Why...what happened...?"

A sigh escaped Rose. "Come, sit. I'll tell you everything."

As Rose told Spinel, the shy gem had started to cry. "So...you just...left?! How could you do that, Pink?! I waited for so long! And you just...moved on? You made new friends? You just...forgot me."

At that, Rose quickly shook her head. "I didn't mean to! It's just...with everything happening, I just...lost track of time."

Spinel sighed tiredly, and rubbed her face. "So what now? You're just going to leave me alone again?"

Rose shook her head. "No, not again. I swear. I want you to meet my friends. But they can't know who I am. It's just... not the right time."

Now, Spinel gave her a glare. "So, how many times have you lied to your 'friends?' How long do you think this will last? Eventually, your lies will catch up to you!"

The other gem sighed, and nodded. "I know. But for now, I just want everyone to be happy. And that includes you. So, please. Come back with me. Meet the Crystal Gems. They'll love you."

After a few seconds, Spinel slowly nodded. "Ok. Yeah, I'll meet them. I want something though."

Rose nodded at her. "Of course. What is it?"

Spinel's eyes held a more eager shine. "I want us to have a garden again! I want us to play and be friends!"

She looked at Rose expectantly.

In response, Rose nodded slightly. "Ok. That's fair. Come on. We can go home now."

The two walked to the warp pad, and when they re-appeared Pearl stood there.

She smiled and her voice was sing-song. "Oh, Rose! Welcome ba- Spinel!?"

Spinel grabbed Rose's hand, and gave Pearl a hard look. "It's me. I see she remembered you..."

Rose smiled, and looked at Pearl. "Could you get the others?"

Pearl gave Rose a nervous look, before going inside the temple to get the other two.

As they all came out, Garnet glanced between Rose and Spinel. "Rose. Who's this?"

Amethyst ran up yo her. "Woah! I love your gem! Is it shaped like that all the time?"

Rose laughed slightly. "Garnet, this is Spinel. She's an...old friend. She got caught up in the war. And...I found her hidden away. Hiding from any gems that may have hurt her. I found her on a mission."

Garnet gave Spinel a look, before humming softly. "Well. It's nice to meet you, Spinel."

She held her hand out, and Spinel shook her hand eagerly. "Woah! Are you a fusion! Oh boy, I'm making a lot of new friends today!"

Amethyst shapeshifted into a cat, and jumped onto Spinel's head. As she started to knead her hair, she laughed. "Cool! You're so...squishy! Like a stuffed animal toy!"

Spinel giggled slightly. "Well, I was made to be a best friend!"

At that, Amethyst cheered. "Woohoo! Squishy heart gem friend!"

Garnet gave Spinel a nod, before warping away.

Amethyst shapeshifted back to normal. "Yo, Spinel! You gotta check out my room! There's all kinds of cool stuff!"

She giggled, and happily skipped after Amethyst.

Once they were gone, both Rose and Pearl looked at each other.

Rose gave her a slow, nervous nod. "It will be ok."

Pearl smiled nervously. "Well, if you believe it. I trust you Rose."

They both went into the temple, each thinking about their newest team member.

I love the idea of Crystal Gem Spinel. And I know it's a thing that a lot of others love. While this isn't 'technically' that, I hope you like it anyway :)
