Amethyst was in the Ruby ship. But it was in warp, this was when she and the other gems were lagging behind the ship. She remembered liking it, it was fun, but she wasn't lagging behind again, the ship was still shaky though. She could barely stand.
"Guys," Steven's cry made her look to the front. Steven was pressed against the chair unable to resist the force, "I didn't want this to happened," the half gem despaired, "I didn't mean for dad to be taken by Blue Diamond, I was just tired of not knowing."
"Steven," Amethyst called, but he didn't hear her. She grabbed the ships dashboard and used it to pull herself towards him, "It's okay Steven."
Then things got worse, Steven started to cry, "Dad," the boy cried, "Dad, I want my dad."
Amethyst could handle a lot of things, but Steven crying wasn't one of them. She wished she could have told him, but out of all the Crystal Gems she knew about homeworld the least. She couldn't have told him about the Diamonds, or the gem wars, or even that his mom was Pink Diamond. But it didn't make her feel better seeing Steven cry. Times like these were when she thought… Steven was better off if they didn't went to visit that winter day.
Finally, Steven managed to push the button and stop the ship.
"Steven," Steven looked up.
"Amethyst."
"Are you okay?"
"I'll be fine, this is just past me," Steven lifted up shirt, "You're looking for present me."
Amethyst hugged him, "You're not the only one who doesn't know stuff."
Steven hugged her back. Then she stood up and his gem began to glow
Lapis and Peridot walked through Beach City.
"Do you think he's here?" Lapis asked.
"Don't know," Peridot said. The green gem looked down, "So… you came back?"
Lapis looked down, "Yeah… Sorry."
"Well," Peridot said, "I know pumpkin missed you."
Lapis gave a small smile.
"School's out," Lapis and Peridot looked to see Steven running with a mirror in his hand.
"I know this," Lapis whispered.
Steven wasn't paying attention when he ran into the street.
"Steven," Peridot was about to run after him when Lapis stopped him.
"Watch where you're going you little-Steven," The mirror spoke in Lars's voice. That made Steven realize he was about to be hit by a car.
Peridot then realized something, "That's you?"
"Yeah," Lapis answered.
Peridot watched Steven talk to the mirror, "Why did you help him that day?"
Lapis stared at the scene, "Well, I don't really know. He saw my cracked gem and didn't call me broken. He took me everywhere with him that day. And when he was in trouble, I just… had the urge to help him… to speak for the first time in millennia. I'm glad I did."
Peridot smiled, "Me too."
"Steven," Greg called as he walked towards the temple. He had no idea what he was looking for, he just knew he needed to help his son, "Steven!"
Greg approached the temple and went to the front door, before he could open the door, he heard something, someone… was singing.
If I could begin to be
Half of what you think of me
I could do about anything.
Greg looked through the screen door. His eyes widened, then teared up. He saw something he only saw in his dreams. Rose was sitting on the couch, softly singing as she cradled their baby Steven, in her arms.
