It had been about a week Thomas had confessed to Rose. It was after breakfast and Thomas was in train mode in the mountain yard, alone. Rose asked for him to stay behind, so he did.
"Alright." A voice said. Thomas looked back to see Rose wearing an eighties style exercise uniform, leg warmer and all. The only thing that wasn't for thirty years ago was a tablet phone with earbuds that Steven had given to her.
Thomas smiled "So you stopped me to look at your new getup?" "Not quit." Rise said "Beach City isn't really the best place to do my exercises, so I'm thinking of doing them in gem town."
That changed Thomas' expression.
"I thought that sense you're heading your way, you could take me." Rose explained "I can take the warp pad back." "Uh ok then…" Thomas said and Rise got in his cab and the two set off.
About twenty minutes later, Thomas had dropped off Rose at Gem town station. She began jogging and was now in the main square. She saw a familiar forge and decided to go in, hoping it would go south.
Bismuth was lucky also in her forge, making swords and other things. "Hello, Bismuth." Rose said. The rainbow gem looked out "Rose?" Bismuth said, Rose nodded. Bismuth grabbed Rose and shut her doors.
"What are you doing here, Girl!?" Bismuth asked yelled. "Getting some exercise." Rose explained "Here?" Bismuth asied "Everyone here pretty much hates you, and some want you dead!"
Rose sighed "I thought about that," She explained "And I don't care." Bismuth raised an eyebrow "I understand I lied to everyone about who I was and did terrible things. But we are here now and if I didn't lie all of our lives would be a lot worse."
"Wow," Bismuth said "I never thought about it that way." "It's fine." Rose responded, and she walked over to the forge door. "Now if you excuse me, I'm going to continue exercising." and she opened the door, revealing a crowd of gems.
Rose didn't hesitate and walked through the crowd and began jogging. The croad of gems looked at each other, shugged and dispirsted. Rose still exercises in gem town every day, and over time everyone warmed up to her and accepted her as one of the town.
