Paragon decides to "hug" the assembled gems, and bid them luck before leaving for Homeworld. Everyone there places a hand on the boat carrying Steven and pushes it out to sea, Lapis slowly sinking the vessel just before it fades from view. Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl sadly sing Steven's song "We Are the Crystal Gems" but when they get to Steven's name pearl breaks down. Bismuth fills the space and cheers them up with "That's Who We Are" brandishing her own stars and pointing out everyone else's
"Very appropriate Bismuth," Jet said. "I know that the Gem's time on Earth is frequently interrupted by having to clear up in-fighting on colonies, and Captain Barriga is also often bringing new fusions and off-colors home to Little Homeworld. this isn't going to stop. I've seen the future of this place as Star, and though prosperity is coming with Paragon's leadership, there are older gems who will resist the change, like the Aquamarine who first came to collect humans for Yellow, or Blue's Holly Agate. Steven's star has become a symbol of peace and hope throughout the Gem Federation. By the way, I'm really glad we didn't emerge into the old Empire, for one I wouldn't exist the way I am, I'd just be an off color sapphire, and I like Pad as her unique self. This is all because of Steven, and it's up to you to take up the star once more until Pink's return. Garnet can always see when you are needed, Lars will call home in a pinch, and Steven has worked with Peridot to allow any gem who has fused with Steven to access the "headspace" from Lion or Lars' end. Furthermore, to keep Beach City itself safe, Steven's descendants and the LH gems are here as protection. This is a hard journey, and preparations were made."
BP walked up to Pearl after this and asked for something from her gem. It was a sealed letter that Steven had given her ages ago. Jet announced that this letter was Steven's will, well, the written down version, as he had a mirror message for many people that Tourmaline was going to present to each person. The letter was unsealed and read by Jet.
This is the will and testament of Steven Quartz Universe, Carrier of the Pink Diamond Gem and successor to the Legacy of the Crystal Gem Rose Quartz
Liberator of Homeworld and Redeemer of Gems, Healer of Corruption and Cracks
If this is being read then the Diamonds were given my gem and I've finally gone to be with Connie and my Dad. I've left My appreciation for you in this letter but I have other personal messages for each of you saved that you'll see in a little while
Pearl: You were always the most caring mom, and i know that at the beginning it was more your love and loyalty for my mom, but it grew into your own personal brand of emotion. You were a great teacher, and you can ask ANY of my kids and grandkids, Nana Pearl will never stop you from learning. The local school is so lucky to have you as the principal, and shop teacher. I've left you a ring with a very small shard of my gem embedded into it, don't worry I went to mom's fountain and it healed just fine. the ring will grant you access to anything that was made just for Pink or Rose, like the armory.
Amethyst: My sister, I know at the beginning I called you the fun mom, but way before we ever met the diamonds, you fell into being my sibling. which could be the best analogy, since my mom made you too. You were always there when anyone needed to lighten up, and you always knew when to be serious and when to play. I know that Aunt Amy is a legend in this town, and Mr Smiley was really proud of you when you took over putting the fun in Funland at the end. I worked with Bismuth to grant you my shield, or a form of it so you can still use Smokey's yoyo.
Garnet: To start off you are three of this city's favorite people. Thank you for taking over the theater from Jamie, even understanding you'd never love him back he still respected you all the way to the end. Ruby, your help at the big donut is essential, keeping the ovens going, and getting on the level of the kids who come in. Sapphire, you are helpful everywhere, helping people find missing loved ones, running the ice rink, you even helped bring back Cookie Cats! Better Than Ever!
Gran Garnet, well you know what all the Universes need to hear, and they always love your stories. I couldn't figure out anything to immediately gift you, but your message will hold something very special.
Bismuth, Lapis, and "The Great and Loveable" Peridot: Little Homeworld would not be the same without you, you teach every new Gem how a life of ever changing freedom isn't as scary as it seems at first. You know that every person has a place they belong, and you three are always there to help them find it. With your help, and the one kindergarten on Titan, after the Jet teams and Nephrite pilots have emerged, the moon will be a perfect refuge for any remaining organic life that needs a home after Homeworld's old habits decimated their planets.
Lars and Lion: Well, pretty much mostly Lars.. you guys are a Diamond's best friends... no offense to Spinels. now I apologize ahead of time for the traffic, but you are very important to the gems now, the last of me. You are actually holding some very important things right now, and soon that'll be distributed. There isn't anything in there for you guys but I did have Peridot upgrade the Incerator a little bit, and for Lion, my dad's van, kept in great condition all these years parked at the family car wash, the biggest box I can find.
Most of the progeny don't really know me personally, though they are running the wash, some even running the hospital like grandma Priya but i do want you all to keep an eye out on them.
After Jet finished with the will she folded, it and handed it back to pearl. then she asked each Gem to come aside with her and Black Pearl, and Tourmaline would give them the message from Steven and what he left behind for them.
