Author's Note: Ok everyone, another weekly challenge/celebration form MiniJenn's 3 years of Universe Falls.
This one takes place in the main UF continuity and this involves one of my favorite Gem characters Lapis.
This centers on when she was still trapped in the mirror and before the kids found her.
The song is from Don Bluth's Thumbelina.
Soon.
How long have I been here this time?
That is the question that Lapis has asked herself for as long as she could remember.
Once trapped she was used as a tool by her fellow Homeworld Gems and when they left she was a tool for the Crystal Gems, then one day they gave her to someone. She could not see the face but as she became aware that she was finally far from any gem, she was then put in a box.
Nothing else. Just her and darkness.
Lapis winched as she felt the pain from her cracked gem, it wasn't that bad, it could have been worse and in some twisted sense, she was happy to feel it for it proves to her that she is still alive.
Alive, but alone.
Lapis looked at glass wall that allows her to see the outside but only see darkness, she keeps on looking, hoping to see something, someone, anyone.
Lapis held her hands together in an almost silent prayer as she sat.
Lapis: I know there's someone.
Somewhere, someone, who's sure to find me soon.
In deep thought, Lapis thinks about someone perhaps form Homeworld could find and free her and she will return home.
Lapis: After the rain goes, there are rainbows.
I'll find my rainbow soon.
Lapis stood up, her hands still held together.
Lapis: Soon it won't be just pretend, soon a happy ending.
Please, can you hear me if your near me.
Sing your song, sure and strong and soon.
Lapis continued to gaze up again, still darkness.
Lapis sighed but then for the first in a long time a light has pierced the dark.
Lapis gasped and looked up and saw a hand reaching towards her, towards the mirror.
Is this it? Lapis thought hopefully.
Will I finally be free?
The End.
Author's Note: Yeah the song is short I know, but it is a sweet song you can't deny, right?
