Once again, her diamond had left her. How many times did she need to go through this? First, her diamond was shattered, then her diamond was actually pretending to be her worst enemy. Finally, her diamond turned into a human child. And now he had left as well.
Was it her? Maybe...
After all, she never found a new purpose. All of these other gems had. But not her.
She had locked herself away in the mountains, away from all contact or interaction.
She wasn't happy. In fact, she was angry. Her entire purpose was just completely eradicated. The new era had ended her purpose.
So, maybe it was time that she tried to find a new purpose.
This 'little homeschool' could be a good place to start. She had tried to talk with the fusion. Although, she ignored her. Next, she tried talking to the pearl. But she had said the wrong thing. Peridot had seemed nervous, but quickly told her to try talking with Amethyst, as they were both quartz gems. The green gem had told her that was a perfect place to start.
Jasper finally relented, and started to try and talk with the overcooked amethyst. It had started roughly. She'd been so stubborn, and blunt, and the amethyst was clearly not in the mood to talk.
After a few months, they had finally built a somewhat stable alliance.
Jasper sat with Amethyst, eating one of her famous meals, made with anything she could add. "Hey, runt. I...just wanted to say thank you."
Amethyst gulped down her food. "For what?"
A sigh escaped Jasper. "Talking to me. Giving me a chance. I realize that maybe I didn't treat you the best. You're small, but still a quartz, like me."
She heard Amethyst let out a snort, followed by a laugh. "Oh, come on, sis! We know I could never be quite as big of a chunk of rock as you! Ha ha! But it's fine."
When there was a beat of silence, Jasper sighed. "I have somebody else to apologize to."
A hum escaped her. "Oh yeah? Who?"
Jasper stood up. "Lapis..."
At that, Amethyst scurried after her. "Slow down there, Jasper! Maybe we should just keep talking. Lapis can be...cold."
She saw Jasper nod. "I know what she's like."
When she and Amethyst appeared in Lapis' room, Amethyst coughed slightly. "Hey, L. Somebody is here to visit..."
Lapis dropped her paints, and set her brushes down, before turning to her. "Who's here to vis-"
Her eyes locked on Jasper, and her wings furled out as she glared. "You! What do you want?"
Before Amethyst could speak, Jasper responded. "It's not what you think. I'm not here for Malachite. I'm here for you."
She glared at the orange gem. "I don't want to see you."
Jasper shook her head. "Lapis, please. I'm here to apologize. Maybe in era three we can have a relationship of some kind. I know my diamond cares for you a lot. So, I thought-"
Lapis stomped over to her. "His name is Steven! And I won't be friends with you just for his sake!"
The orange gem opened her mouth to respond, before quickly closing it.
She saw Lapis fold her arms. "I don't want to talk with you."
At that, Jasper just nodded. "I can try to understand. But I mean it. I want to talk with you. Whenever you're ready..."
As she left, Amethyst looked at Lapis, before turning to chase after Jasper.
When they were alone again, Amethyst spoke. "So...no dice. Are you going to be ok?"
Jasper sighed slightly, and rubbed her eyes. "I'll be fine. I know she's angry with me. And I get why. So, I'll just have to take things slow. Maybe Peridot would be good with advice."
Amethyst nodded, grabbing Jasper by her hand. "Ha! Yeah, let's go talk to the nerd! She's an expert at getting Lapis to like her former enemies!"
While Amethyst ran, Jasper frowned slightly.
This would take time. But she was a Jasper. She wouldn't give up.
She had a new purpose.

I mean, I get why we didn't get much Jasper redemption in SU:F, but I still like the idea of something. So that's what fanfics are for, right? lol
