Soon, everyone was at Little Homeworld and they informed Bismuth, Lapis, and Peridot everything that happened. "She rode in on THAT?!" Peridot asked, looking through binoculars as Bismuth walked off, smiling nervously to Ruby and Sapphire. "Yeah" Steven replied. "She said my human half 'wouldn't stand a chance against her injector'." "What does that mean?" Lapis asked. "Why don't we just ask her?" Peridot suggested. "First, we have to find her." Yuni said. Spinel's finger poked Steven's shoulders as she hid away. "Fuwa thinks she found her~fuwa" Fuwa commented. "Wha-... Where'd she...?" Steven looked around before yelping as Spinel popped up from behind him. Spinel popped up from behind Steven, startling him. "Surprise!" Spinel giggled. "Here she is" Steven sighed. "My 'new best friend', Spinel..." "As you can see, she's not dangerous at the moment." Madoka said. "A pleasure to meet you all." Spinel smiled and bowed a bit. "I thought you said she was just trying to kill you." Bismuth remarked. "Like I said, she's not dangerous right now." Madoka replied. "Wow, quick turnaround." Lapis commented. "No kidding" Peridot replied. "It took me months to stop trying to kill Steven." "I'd say it took me a day," Bismuth said. "Day and a half?" "I'm still on the fence." Lapis added. The three Gems all shared a laugh from that. "You're all really choked up about this, aren't ya?" Yuni deadpanned.
"Alright, let's see this thing she hit you with." Peridot requested. "Right." Steven nodded and soon took out the weapon who began to examine it in the least safe ways possible. "Whoa..." Peridot said as she examined the weapon. "Was there like, a-a laser, or-" Bismuth hurriedly snatched the object from Peridot's hands before she could activate it. "Be careful with that!" she warned. "It's a Rejuvenator." "A Rejuvenator..." Prunce repeated. "...What does that mean~de purunsu?" "Homeworld used to use these things on Gems that started steppin' out of line. One hit with this...You're back to how they made you." Bismuth explained. She sadly looked at Ruby and Sapphire. "What are you looking at?" Ruby glared as she saw Bismuth looking at them. "Oh, my stars! I touched it! I could have lost all my character development!" Peridot panicked before looking curious at Steven. "Wait, how did you survive getting by that, Steven?" "I... I think I didn't" Steven said to her. "My human half kept me from poofing, but my gem half; it took the hit. She sent me back, it's like I'm a kid again!" Then he began to flip out. "I can barely control my powers! How do we reverse this...? Oh, no... do I need to get the Diamonds?!" Bismuth handed the Rejuvenator back to Steven. "You're the one with healing powers," Lapis soon said to Steven. "If anyone can fix this, it's you." "I can't believe this; for the first time in years, everyone's in danger" Steven frowned as he put the Rejuvenator back in his coat pocket. "Everyone needs me and I'm useless. Bismuth, what do we do?" "Oh, Steven." Hikaru frowned in concern. "I'm sorry, Steven" Bismuth sighed to the hybrid boy. "I don't know..."
Steven turned his gaze to Ruby and Sapphire before tearing up. "Garnet would know what to do..." he said sadly. "Garnet always knows what to do..." The girls and aliens began to feel hopeless. "Hey! Don't be sad..." Spinel beamed, beginning to dance around Steven, slowly taking on more maniacally happy expressions before coiling around Steven in celebration. "Your new best friend, your new best friend, your new best friend, YOUR NEW BEST FRIEND SPINEL IS HERE!" Spinel began to laugh as she danced around Steven before doing a hand stance as she clamped her feet together. Steven felt dejected and refused to acknowledge Spinel's attempts to cheer him up and began to sing to himself. "Here we are in the future, Here we are in the future and it's wrong, Just a second ago, we were singing this song, And now, they're gone, because of her, Happily ever after, there we were~" Fuwa frowned, feeling sad for Steven. "When has it ever been easy?~" Bismuth sang to help out Steven in his time of need. "Hasn't it always been hard to be us~" Steven looked up to her as she walked up to him. "When you go against the grain, There's always somebody around you can't trust~" Bismuth continued. "That's why we've got to have each other, While we'll figure this out, we must!~" Spinel looked around, not realizing Bismuth had been talking about her. Bismuth helped Steven onto his feet. "Because we are the Crystal Gems, And we never give up, We never give up on our friends, As long as one of us is standing to brandish the star~," she gestured to Steven. "We'll find a way, To save the day, That's who we are!~" The girls nodded in agreement. "Here we are in the future~" Steven sang. "Here we are in the future and it's wrong! Look at them, they're not even singing along~" Steven sang, gesturing to Ruby and Sapphire.
"If I could've just stopped right there, we'd be~," Steven sang then, looking out to the warp pad down below them. "Totally fine, Totally us, Totally me~" Bismuth, Lapis, and Peridot joined up with Steven. "Even if it takes a thousand years to get them back, we will~," Bismuth sang as they soon went down an elevator and the others began to follow after them."They may not know who they are, but we do, Believe me, Steven, I've known them longer, I've seen them get through worse and come back stronger, That's why I believe in them, And I believe in you!~" she then beamed before going to the Homeworld Square and poured molten lava into a star-shaped mold to lift up Steven's spirits. "Because we are the Crystal Gems, And we never give up, No, we never give up on our friends~" And where that seemed to work as Steven smiled. "As long as one of is standing to brandish the star~" Bismuth sang. "We'll find a way~" Peridot smiled to Steven. "To save the day~" Lapis added. "That's who we are!~" Bismuth concluded with a friendly wink.
"Alright, let's put our heads together; there's gotta be someway to get them to remember." Steven said. "What if it's like a puzzle?" Spinel asked as she stretched herself over to them. "Huh?" the girls asked in unison. "If we give 'em all the pieces, eventually they'll get the picture!" Spinel explained. "Spinel, that-" Hikaru began before giving that some thought. "Actually makes sense..." "Yeah! If every experience they lost is a-a piece of who they are, we just have to give them back all the pieces" Steven added. "One experience at a time!" "Are you serious?" Lapis asked. "That could take forever!" Peridot added. "Exactly" Steven nodded. "So let's get started!" "Hikaru, you and your friends help out too" Steven smiled to the pink-haired girl. "Sure!" Hikaru smiled back. "Good!" Steven smiled. "Then let's get to work!" "We'll find a way, To save the day, That's who we are!~" Steven, Bismuth, Peridot, and Lapis sang as they went to work. "Here we are in the future, here we are in the future and it's wrong~" Spinel sang. The others glanced to her as that felt rather unnecessary right now. "Whoa, Spinel, it's okay" Steven told her sheepishly. "We're done."
Meanwhile, Ruby was guarding Sapphie by marching around her. "Alright, Steven, what do you think about this?" Elena asked the hybrid boy. "So when Ruby and Sapphire first became Garnet, Ruby rushed in to save Sapphire from danger, and BAM! They fused" Steven said. "So maybe we've got to create some sort of dangerous situation." "Well, what do we have that's deadly and dangerous laying around?" Lapis asked. "I think we could dig something up!" Peridot suggested. She chuckled as she ran towards a nearby dumpster, rummaging through the various items inside. "Danger, danger, danger. What have we got? Hmm. No. Aha!" Steven looked in surprise as Peridot pulled out a large, circular buzzsaw. "A giant pizza cutter?" Hikaru asked. "That is one of its functions, yes." Peridot replied. "I can't threaten them with this." said Steven. "Hmm... Here!" Peridot pressed a button on the handle, turning the buzzsaw on, to Steven's and his new friends' surprise. "Now, it's much more threatening. Off you go now!" Peridot said, pushing Steven away. "Good luck!" Spinel waved. Ruby kept marching around Sapphire until she noticed Steven approaching them. "Halt! I cannot allow you to approach my Sapphire with such a threatening device." she glared. Steven looked a bit nervous with how hostile Ruby could get sometimes. "That's too bad, 'cause I'm gonna... get you!" he said as he held the buzzsaw up high. "Permission to dispatch the large one, my Sapphire?" Ruby asked. "No need. I predict he won't be able to follow through." Sapphire replied. "She's right! Ugh, I can't. Even if we are just pretending." said Steven as he turned off the buzzsaw.
"My Sapphire, you were right!" Ruby was surprised. "What do you predict will happen next?" "Well, the Spinel will try to pick up that device out of curiosity." Sapphire replied. Then everyone saw just that happening as predicted. "Hijinks will ensue." Sapphire continued. "Wait! Spinel. No, no, no, no! Don't touch that thing!" Steven cried. Spinel pressed the button on the handle and activated the buzzsaw, causing her to vibrate violently. She began yelling and stumbling around, attempting to hold the buzzsaw down, as she crashed towards an unseen structure. "Hey, we just built that!" Bismuth complained. Spinel lost control of the buzzsaw and continued to scream as the buzzsaw towards the group, with Ruby shielding Sapphire. "Whoa, here she comes!" Peridot called out. Bismuth grabbed Peridot while Lapis and Steven dive out of the way with their new friends as Spinel sped through on the saw, slicing the dumpster in half. "Spinel!" Steven cried. He tackled Spinel off the buzzsaw. The group watched in horror as the buzzsaw continued to run and slice its way up the center tower, cutting through the wooden planks and scaffolding. "My scaffolding!" Bismuth cried out in horror. "MY PRECIOUS SCAFFOLDING!" "Wow!" Ruby gasped from Sapphire's predictions. "What happens next?" "In just a moment, the scaffolding will start falling all around you." Sapphire replied. "What?" Ruby asked until the prediction started to come true as she dodged all the falling pieces. "Wow, you're amazing." "Hm" Sapphire blushed from that before she then continued. "Next, the Peridot will hold back some of the falling debris. Three large barrels will fall. The Bismuth will catch two of them and that bigger dog will help out." Steven turned, seeing Peridot hold back some of the debris with her powers. "I got this, Biz!" Peridot called out. "Nice work, Perido-" Bismuth said before looking up to see two barrels falling. "Oh, shucks!" she then caught two, but the third one rolled away. "Ah! Shoot! Oh, no!" "THE HEAVEN AND EARTH BEETLES ARE OUT FOR THEIR AFTERNOON CONSTITUTIONAL!" Bismuth flipped out.
Then two bug-sized beings walked by as the third barrel was rolling towards them. "The Lapis will rush in and save them at the last second." Sapphire said. "Oh! Will you please cut that out?!" Yuni groaned in annoyance. Lapis flew and dove down quickly, picking up the Heaven and Earth beetles with her hands just as the barrel was about to roll over them. "Whew. You guys okay?" she asked. Both of the Earth and Heaven Beetles then gave her a thumb's-up. "She can't help it, Yuni. Sapphire has the power to see the future." Madoka said. "Um, is that buzzsaw going to keep cutting?" Elena asked nervously. "Yes, it will continue to cut," Sapphire told Elena. "The anvil will fall. And R-Ruby will be shattered!" The saw continued to cut and moved over to a hanging anvil, cutting into the handle and it began to fall. "Look out, Ruby!" Hikaru cried out. The anvil was about to shatter Ruby only for Steven's shield to save her as it was above her. However, he began to struggle holding it and the shield began to crack. "Huh?" Ruby muttered as she looked up. "The curly-haired one's power is fading," Sapphire said before looking guilty. "Ruby, I'm sorry! I told you you wouldn't last the day!" "Well, I'm glad fate allowed me to meet you." Ruby replied romantically. The shield shattered and Ruby held out her hands, accepting her fate. "No!" Hikaru and Steven cried out.
Ruby was saved by Sapphire as she got her out of the way of the anvil. Everyone looked shocked, but also pleased to see that Sapphire helped out Ruby like that. The two Gems looked into each other's eyes and began to glow and fused into Garnet. "Oyo, it worked~lun" Lala commented. "Glitterific!" Hikaru smiled. Garnet was reborn as she was two versions of herself, wearing Ruby and Sapphire's outfits walking together, mirroring each other. Then she began to have her own song which was very great to listen to since she had a lovely singing voice. "Suddenly hot I'm-, Suddenly cool I'm-, Suddenly a genius I'm-, Suddenly a fool I'm-, Suddenly fact, but I feel-, Stranger than fiction I'm new, But I'm suddenly back, I'm a walking contradiction!, Doesn't this have a name?, La-da-da-da-da, Doesn't this have a name?, Doesn't this have a name?~" Garnet sang, meeting with Ruby and Sapphire "And isn't it, isn't it, isn't it love?, Isn't it, isn't it, isn't it love?, And isn't it, isn't it, isn't it love?, Isn't it, Isn't it, Isn't it love?~" And so, due to the power of love, Ruby and Sapphire fused into Garnet.
"Garnet!" Steven smiled, running over to Garnet only to fall over as she backed away from his hug attempt. "Garnet, you're back! Thank goodness it's you!" "Steven, I think this is only one step of getting all her memories back." Madoka told him. "She doesn't know you yet, Steven." Elena added. Steven began to look crushed. "Her memories aren't back." he said as he realized. "I guess Fusion was only the first piece." Everyone turned as they heard the sound of Greg's van beeping. It made its way into Little Homeworld. Pearl appeared from the driver's seat, holding a small red carpet and step-stool, setting them down at the back doors. She summoned a small trumpet and played a small fanfare. "Attention, everyone. Um Greg Universe has arrived." she announced with a bow as she opened the doors and Greg rushed out. "Greg, what's wrong?" Yuni asked. "Guys! Oh! Have you seen Amethyst?" Greg asked. "What?" Steven replied to his father. "I told you to watch her." "She must have wandered off while I was wrestling my laundry out of Pearl's hands." Greg replied. "Uh, speaking of Pearl~de purunsu..." Prunce said as he pointed to what Pearl was doing. Greg and Steven turned, hearing squeaking noises. Pearl was seen wiping the hubcaps of the van. "Pearl! You don't have to do that!" Greg called out before running over. "I own a car wash!" "I need to go find Amethyst" Steven said to Bismuth before gesturing to Garnet. "Can you watch her?" "Yeah, sure" Bismuth smirked as she watched Garnet looking at herself and exploring her environment. "But it looks like she's doing a pretty good job watching herself." "Thanks" Steven replied before looking to the remaining others. "Come on, guys."
"Don't forget your best friend, Spinel!" Spinel beamed to him. "Oh, right" Steven replied. "Spinel, you stay here with the others, and we'll be right back." he let go of her hand. Spinel suddenly paused before looking angry. "No!" Steven gasped from her angry form and grinned sheepishly. "O-Okay. Let's go together?" "Yay!" Spinel smiled and laughed from that. "It's best that we keep her happy for the time being~lun." Lala told Steven. "I guess I'll keep that in mind." Steven replied. "We better start searching." Yuni said.
