Steven had been visiting her often. No matter how many times he tried, her 'fixed' form wouldn't stick. However, it seemed she was slowly retaining her memories.
When Steven realized this, he had been optimistic. If she could remember his visits, maybe she could remember her other memories as well.
Right now, he sighed slightly, as he saw her form return to her corrupted state. Her crew mates curled around her. "I'm sorry, Centi. But I promise, some day I'll fix you!"
She scuttled towards him, and bumped her beak against his head. When she let out a soft growl, he knew she was trying to comfort him.
He patted her head. "I'll be back tomorrow! We can try again!"
After he ran off, Centi shook her body roughly. This form was strange. She liked being normal. So, every time she reverted back, it was frustrating.
Her crew squeaked at her, before resting. As she was alone, she started to think. She thought about her real form. After a few seconds, she started to concentrate. Her eye closed tightly.
As her form started to glow, her crew looked at her. When she opened her eye, she noticed her crew mates were much bigger than her.
A yelp of shock escaped her, and she fell backwards. When she landed, she noticed something right away. She had tripped. Her eye quickly looked over herself. She looked more like her real form. Chirps of joy escaped her. She had to show Steven.

Steven walked into the ship the next morning. "Centi, I'm back!"
She chirped, and ran up to him. He gasped eagerly, and ran over to her.
The half-human looked over her form quickly. "Oh my gosh! Was my healing spit working? How do you feel?"
At that, Centi shrugged.
Steven nodded. "It's a start! How did this even happen?"
With a happy squeal, Centi ran over to the stacks of paper and crayons Steven had left.
While she drew it out, her crew watched curiously.
Steven looked over her drawings when she was done. "Oh, wow! You're curing yourself! Do you...still want my help?"
In response, Centi nodded, and sat across from him.
He smiled at her. "Ok, let's start talking."

After a week, Centi was able to get her voice back.
When Steven went to visit her, she quickly ran up to him.
Her voice was excited. "Steven! Steven! Listen to this, I can talk now!"
Steven gawked at her, before running up to her, hugging her. "Oh, Centi! It's working! How close are you to your form?"
She hummed slightly. "I have a bit more to change! But I can tell I'm almost done!"
He bounced on his feet. "So, wanna talk instead of draw?"
Centi nodded eagerly, and sat down.

Another week passed. Now she knew it. This was her original form. How long had it been? She finally felt complete.
She eagerly waited for Steven, and eyed her two crew mates.
Neither of them had changed.
A sigh escaped her. "Don't worry. Some day, you two will be normal again. I know it."
Steven came in, and she hugged him before he could speak.
He laughed slightly, and hugged her back. "Woah, Centi! Look at you! Is this your real form?"
She nodded eagerly tears building in her eye. "It is. Steven. I'm normal again! My form is okay!"
When she set him down, he smiled at her. "This is great!"
Centi wiped her tears quickly. "I'm so happy."
Steven laughed happily, and grabbed her wrists, spinning her around. "I'm happy for you!"
When he let her go, he hummed slightly. "So, do you have all of your memories?"
She nodded. "I do, I remember everything."
At that, Steven nodded. "I see. So...you remember your name? What is it?"
Now, she hugged him again. "Nephrite. My name is Nephrite."
Steven hugged her tightly. "Welcome back, Nephrite."
