The rubies had done a good job repairing the track over the few weeks. However there was a problem that would come up eventually, and was now starting to acure. Thomas was at the mountain yard relaxing in train mode.

Suddenly the was a ringing coming from his from his phone. Thomas was so surprised he morphed in gem mode suddenly and fell on face. "Ow." he said getting up. Thomas the picked up his phone.

"Hello" he said, holding the phone to his non existent ear. "Hello who is this?" a voice came through the phone. "Oh, hello Eyeball." Thomas said realising who it was. "Ah Thomas, just who I wanted to talk to." Eyeball said.

"What did you want to about?" Thomas asked "It's about the track." Eyeball said "Oh!" Thomas shouted remembering that the rubies were repairing the track "Is it done?" he asked. "Uh kinda…" Eyeball trailed off.

"What do you mean?" Thomas asked. "Well…" Eyeball trailed off again. "Come on you can tell me." "We're… out of materials." Eyeball admitted "Oh." Thomas said "We were hoping you had some."

"We don't really have that kind of stuff." Thomas add admitted "Oh." Eyeball said dispointly. Thomas the remembered something "I know were we can get some though." "Really!?" Eyeball shouted excitedly.

"Yes really." Thomas said "Can you meet me at the warp pad?" "I'll get the rubies we'll be there." Eyeball said "Great, see you there." Thomas then closed his phone. He then went up on the elevator and warped away on the warp pad.

Eyeball had gathered the rubies and had warped away when Thomas arrived. Now they were on another warp pad going some wear else. "Soooo." Doc said breaking the silence "Where are we going?"

"Wait and see." Thomas said. The warp stream stopped revealing their location. There were on a hill looking over a yard. With thousand of trucks and hundreds on sidings. Most of the rolling stock were pink, but there a lot of blue and yellow, and the occasional white.

"This is the old yard." Thomas said. "It was abandoned after the war." He explained, "So take whatever you want." the rubies look at Thomas worldly "Are you sure?" Doc asked "W-w-won't the D-d-diamond get mad?" Leggy studdard.

"Oh don't worry about them." Thomas said reassuringly "They have no need for this yard. So

again, take whatever you want." the rubies looked a little less worried. "Come one rubies!" Eyeball shouted

"If Thomas says it's fine, it's fine." she pointed to the yard "Let's go get our materials." the other rubies nodded and rand down the stairs, excepted Eyeball. She sat down a sighed. "You ok Eyeball?" Thomas asked.

"*SIGH* I don't know." Eyeball began "I've just been feeling… lost lately." she concluded. "What do you mean?" Thomas asked. "I just… it feels like don't know what I'm doing. I'm stuck on a planet I use to work on. All these new things I've never seen before, there incredible!"

Eyeball looked down "I just makes me feel like. Maybe I should have joined the Crystal gems when I could have." "Hmm. I see." Thomas said "I just wanted to see Jasper. Instead i'm questioning my entire life." "Why do you to see Jasper?" Thomas asked.

"I feel weird around her. I want to be around her no matter what." she said beginning to blush. "Oh." Thomas looked confused, then realised "That's called love." He said "It is?" Eyeball said confused.

"Yep this type is when two people really love ecouter." Thomas explained "Like multi-gem fusion?" Eyeball asked. "Sort of." Thomas said "But you don't need to fuse to feel it." He explained. "Oh." Eyeball said "So Fusion is basically love?" she asked

"Yep." Thomas said "But love isn't just that. It can anyone like your teammate." mustering down stairs down. "I know that." Eyeball said, she realised what he was doing. "Oh Right." she said getting up, she ran down the stairs to join the rest of her team. Thomas chuckled and followed her.

"Rubies!" Eyeball shouted when she gets down the stairs. The ruby stopped what they were doing and got into a line. Eyeball pointed at Doc "Doc Report" she said. From what I've seen, we should have everything we need." Doc reported.

"Good-good" Eyeball said nodding "Anything else?" Doc asked. "On one last thing." Eyeball then hugged Doc "Groups hug!" she shouted The other rubies looked confused "What's this for?" Doc asked. "Nothing." Eyeball said "I just love you guys." the other rubies smiled in joined in.

Thomas walked down the stars and saw the hug, he smiled. "Ok that's enough." Eyeball said when she say Thomas "Back to work." everyone nodded and skadderd. Eyeball looked Thomas and smiled, Thomas smiled back.

There was a *KNOCK-KNOCK-KNOCK* on Thomas' leg. Thomas looked down and saw Leggy "Uh m-m-mister Thomas." she said "Yes?" Thomas said "C-c-can I take this?" Leggy pulled out a snow globe "Of course, why wouldn't you?" Thomas asked.

"W-w-well i-i-it's useful to the p-p-project, I-I-I just want it for m-m-myself" Leggy said, her stutter

growing more when she specks. "So what?" Thomas said "If you want it, you can take it. It's not like anyone is going to his it"

Leggy nodded and walked off "Tell the rubies that ok!" Thomas shaped "O-o-ok!" Leggy shouted. "Your to good at this." Eyeball said "I wouldn't say that." Thomas said "But you can do anything. You can make anyone feel better."

"*SIGH*Not everyone." Thomas said looking down. Eyeball looked at her confused. "But enough about that." Thomas said "Let's get your materials." He then walked off. Eyeball followed still confused on what just happened.

Later the rubies had gathered the materials they needed, along with a few other thing for themselves. The supplies were put into trucks, arranged into a train. Thomas was in train mode to pull the train.

Eyeball and Doc were in Thomas's cab, while Army and Leggy were in the brake van at the back. "All right, that's everything." Army said closing the last van door on the right bside. "B-b-but where's N-n-navy?" Leggy asked

"Oh your right." Army said, she realized that she hasn't seen here since they go here. "NAVY!" Army shouted. "Over here!" Navy yelled on the right side of the train. Army and Leggy looked at each other. They walk over to see Navy closing a van door "Sorry I found something I want." Navy explained "I put it in the van." she continued.

"Hmm." Army said nodding, her eyes closed. "W-w-well it's time to g-g-go." Leggy said "Alrighty" Navy said, she walked to the brake van, Army and Leggy followed. "Ooo. What are these?" Navy asked holding two flags. One green one red, there was also a whistle.

"This is used to tell Doc, Eyeball, and Thomas when to go." Army explained. "Oh!" Navy said happily. Army grabbed the green flag and put the whistle in her mouth.

Meanwhile at the front the Eyeball and Doc were in Thomas' cab looking for the signal. Suddenly there was a *PEEEEP* sound, it was army blowing the whistle. She waved the green flag. "That's the signal." Doc said "Were good to go."

Thomas gave a *PEEP-PEEP* of his whistle and began to pull the train. The train of fifteen trucks, five flatbeds, ten vans. Thomas was finding it not a problem. Suddenly then was *CRAAASH* as something fell in front of Thomas.

He stopped suddenly causing the trucks to bump into him, tripping the rubies. "Why did you stop!?" asked yelled Eyeball. "Some fell in front of use." Thomas explained. The was a growl in front of Thomas as the dust settled revel what had fallen.

It was a corrupted gem. It was blue with red white patches all over its body, with along white main. It stood on floured legs and had a mouth of a beast. I looked ready to charge at Thomas. "Uh…" was all Thomas said.

The corrupted gem charged Thomas. Thomas know he couldn't go back, so he charged at back at the corrupted gem. When the two collided the corrupted gem was , but Thomas kept going.

"What on earth was that?" doc asked. "I have no idea." Thomas said. Before anyone could say anything there was a roar, Eyeball and Doc looked back to see the corrupted gem was chasing after them.

"Great." Eyeball said sarcastically. "What do we do?" Doc asked. Eyeball looked at the train, she noticed the third truck from Thomas. A flatbed with crates. "Ah ha!" Eyeball shouted. "What?" Thomas said "I have a plan." Eyeball began to tell the her plan.

Meanwhile Army, Leggy and Navy where in the brake van, getting up from the sudden movements of the train. "Uh w-w-what happened.? Leggy asked. "I don't kno-" Army said but stopped when she saw the corrupted gem.

"What is it?" Navy asked. Army just pointed the two looked saw the corrupted gem. Before the three could do anything the corrupted gem bashed into the brake van. Causing them to fall down again.

"Hey long hair!" a voice called. The three rubies and the corrupted gem looked to Eyeball on the third truck "Come and get me!" she shouted. The the corrupted gem ran faster and jumped and the flatbed.

Eyeball jumped on the second truck "You-who over here." the corrupted gem looked back to see Doc. She jumped back to the fourth truck, uncoupled the fourth truck from the third,and yelled "Bracks!"

Army, who had Been watching with Navy and Leggy, ran back to a lever in the middle brake van. "What are you doing?" Navy "Applying the brakes!" Army shounted. As she was spinning the lever the, the truck slowed down and eventually stopped.

Doc waved as the corrupted gem stayed. the corrupted gem looked forward and say that Eyeball was gone and that Thomas was speeding up. Before she could do anything, Thomas went one way, and the corrupted gem wet onther.

She look back and saw Eyeball next to the switch. Before the corrupted gem could do anything the flatbed hit the buffer, knocking over the crates, and poofing her. Eyeball went down to the flatbed and stared at the gem. There was a awkward silence, until.

"Yeah we did it!" Eyeball looked back and saw Doc and the other rubies. Before she could do anything the rubies made another group hug. "That was amazing!" Navy said "Great plan." Army added "T-t-thanks captain." Leggy concued.

Thomas backed up he looked down and smiled. Eyeball looked up a smiled back, before looked up higher and seeing something surprising. Jasper, Eyeball grew star eyes and waved. Jasper just squinted, turn around and walked away.

Thomas had seen the hole thing, he looked down and saw than Eyeball she looked conpealty defeyed. "That's enough." Eyeball said sadly "Let's clean this up." . The other rubies looked as her confused.

"A-a-are you ok c-c-captain?" Leggy asked. "I'm fine just-just…" Eyeball stopped and sighed "Just do it, ok?". The other rubies looked at Doc, she nodded and rubies started cleaning up.

It was night at the barn, Lapis was sleeping, but peridot was awake watch Camp Pining Hearts, it was peacefully. Until there's was rumbling sound. "Eep." Peridot said falling off the couch she then walked over to Lapis sleeping in the truck.

"Lapis." she whispered "Lapis wake up!". "huh?" Lapis said half asleep "Lapis! Something outside!" Peridot yelled. Lapis then felt the rumble "What is that?" Lapis asked "I don't know!" Peridot said.

The rumbling suddenly stopped, a light shown through the barn. "Ahh." Period said jumping down, hugging peridot and taking her with her. "Please don't shatter use!" Peridot said. Shatter you. what would I do that?" a familiar voice. The two looked up and saw Thomas.

"Oh Thomas, is you." peridot said "Hey." Lapis said "Hello Peridot, Lapis" Thomas said greeting the two. "Why are you here?" Peridot said "Well the rubies needed some materials, to fix the track." Thomas explained.

"Sorry for being so late. We had and incident." he added "Incident?" Peridot says "Yes we-" "We fought a monster!" the three looked back to se Army "And it was awesome!" "Really?" Peridot asked.

"Yes it was amazing." Navy said wearing a old backpack "You should have seen it.". "D-d-doc did great." Leggy said. "Aw it was nothing" Doc said blushing, climbing out of Thomas' cab. "Well you've got me intrigued." Period said "Tell us more." the rubies walked in to the barn.

Thomas smiled as they went off, until he realised someone was missing. Thomas looked to his left and saw her sitting on a hill. Thomas knew what to, he morphed in train mode and ran to where she was.

Eyeball was sitting on the hill, crying. She was thinking about a lot of, mostly about Jasper. "You ok eyeball?" Eyeball looked up to se Thomas. "I'm fine." she said, Eyeball said turning away. "Come on. You can tell me."

"Why?" Eyeball said. Thomas looked confused "Why wha-" "Why did she do that?!" Eyeball shouted "Why did she sent that thing after us? Why didn't she attack us derctaly? Why did she fight us herself? Why-" she was interrupted but Thomas

"Shhh it's ok."Thomas said hugging her "I don't know what she did those thing." He the brought Eyeball face to face "But what I do know is that we can't dwell on it. We have to carry on." Eyeball when back to hugging him.

"Just propose me something ok." Eyeball said "Yes. Thomas said "If you find Jasper. Bring her to me, all right?" Eyeball said. Thomas wasn't sure what to say "Alright it will." he said "Thank you." she said and the two headed back.

When the go to the barn Thomas headed for the warp pad. "Oh one last thing." Eyeball said. Thomas looked back, before could say anything Eyeball hung him. "I love you." Eyeball said Thomas smiled "I love you to." Thomas said he then walked to the warp pad an warped away.

"Uncle Thomas!" Steven shouted when he saw him warping in. "Hello Steven" Thomas said. Your never believe it. I had a battle with Jasper." Steven explained. "Oh did you?" Thomas asked "Yeah!" Steven shouted

"Well tell me about it." Thomas said. Steven explained the holy story about how he was hang out with Amethyst and Connie and jasper attached them, leading to Amethyst proofing.

While Steven was telling Thomas the story, he noticed Amethyst sitting on the beach on her lonesome. 'I'll have to talk to her tomorrow.' Thomas thought as Steven finished the story.
