"Well, that's everything... and then some." Thomas said. It was the next day and Thomas had just finished loading a railway van. "Steven, you ready to go home?" he shouted on the other side of the van "All ready to go!"."Peridot says she's staying." Steven says. He had just talked to her about it.
"Probably for the best. I don't think she would've fit in the van anyway." Thomas joked. Heading for the front of the van."You guys go on ahead, I'll catch up with you on Lion." Steven said. Thomas was shocked "Alright then. See you later Steven ." He said. With that Thomas went into train from the gems got into his cab and he puffed away.
"Soooo." Thomas said try to start a conversation. "What are we going to do about jasper?" he asked. Jasper had got away when she and lapis un-fused from Malachite."Were going to find her." Garnet said
"Yea and kick her but!" Amethyst shouted. Pearl then said "We I don't know about that but-Ahhh!" she was cut off buy a bump it the track. "Sorry." Thomas said "There's track are not in the best conduction." the gems than sat in silence.
So enough they arrived at a set of point's and Thomas stopped. "Why'd we stop?" Amethyst asked. "There's a junction. Which way do we go?" Thomas asked. "The way we came of course." Pearl said.
"But we came by warp pad remember." Thomas said. They had brought the sulpice for the drill when they needed it. Now with all the sulpice old and new Thomas thought it be better to take it all by rail. The three gem got out of Thomas' cad to inspect.
"I think we should go left." Pearl said "It's the most plausible direction to get to beach city." "No way!" Amethyst said "We should go right.". "But that the opposite direction to where we need to go. Why would you think that's the way to go?"
"Look at the rails." Amethyst said pointing at the rails. "The right is in better condition than the left." both set of rails look exactly the same. "how can you tell?" Thomas asked "I can tell the condition of metal. I have a lot of it."
"That's ridiculous!" Pearl said "There exactly the same. Ieft is obviously the way to go." "No way!" Amethyst shouted "Right is in better conduction. Better conduction,better chance of it being right way. Right garnet?"
Garnet pointed to Thomas. "I think we should go the way the driver wants to go." Thomas looked at both directions. He thought both Amethyst's and Pearls reason were valid, but he couldn't decide which direction to go. "Uh…" he began "Let's go… right."
"Then it's settled. Pearl switch the points." Garnet said. Pearl got out her spear and did so. Thomas then headed off.
Later they arrived at a cliff with a broken bridge. "See I told you." Pearl said "Now We just have to go back." "Not necessarily." Thomas said backing up and rushing for the bridge at top speed. Before being stopped by Garnet applying his brakes. "No bridge jumping today daredevil." she said "We want are cargo in tack."
Thomas just frowned and reversed back to the points. After changing Pearl changed points Thomas continued left.
After a few minutes in the other direction the track started getting bumper and bumper. "I think this was a bad ideaaa!" Pearl said. "Why did we do thissss!?" Amethyst asked "I thought It would be funnn!" Thomas said "Well it's not!" they both said. Thomas stopped again. In front of him were buffers.
"Well now what!" Pearl shouted "Now we go back to the warp pad." Garnet said "And go back on that track forget it." Amethyst said. While the other three were arguing the ground started moving. "Uh oh." Thomas said.
Just just like that the ground gave way. Leaving Thomas and his train going down hill. "Gems move!" Garnet shouted Amethyst and Pearl nodded fusing into Opal. Opal got out her bow and arrow. She that spawned two arrow tied by ropes and fired it a two different trees.
Thomas hit the rope and came to a stop, and knocked down both trees. "Thanks Opal." Thomas said. Opal just smiled and unfused. "Well now what." Amethyst said. "Now." garnet said sliding down the hill "We walk."
"Not necessarily." Thomas said looking ahead "Look!" the gem looked were thomas was looking. There was a set of rails.
"I'm sorry." Thomas said now on the new set of rails, nd heading to beach city "I thought this would be a fun bonding exspenices." "Well it was pretty fun all in all." Amethyst said "I suppose it was exciting." Pearl added. "It was awesome." Garnet concluded.
Thomas stopped again, this time at a doors to the mountain yard. The doors opened and Thomas unfurled the van "you guys start unpacking." Thomas said "I have to get something from my berth." Thomas then got on the turntable and went into his berth.
When he exited he was in train mode. Holding a blue bubble with Peridot's limb enhancers. "Why do you need that." asked Pearl "A promise is a promise Pearl, and I promised I'd give her back her limb enhancers once we saved the world."
"Well yes but…" "Aww don't worry P" Amethyst said cutting Pearl off "What's she gonna do. She has nowhere else to go. She called Yellow Diamond a clod remember." "Weeell." Garnet looked at Pearl and said. "A promise is a promise." "Then it's settled." Thomas said.
After the four unpacked all the sulpice. Thomas noticed something "Steven's still not back." He commented "he's probably hanging with Peri." Amethyst said "We should probably check on him. Gives you the opportunity to give those back." Garnet said.
With that they went on the warp pad and warped to the barn were they saw lapis pushing a homeworld ship down into the ground.
