Two days after the incident of Beach City high school, the video of Nora and Jasper fighting the corrupted gem monsters went viral. The fight was the talk of the internet nonstop; Lars was checking his phone while he was on his way to the Big Donut. The video of Realgar fighting the corrupted gems popped right in front of him so he decided to take a look, It was amazing to see such a display of strength from a small yet strong frame of Nora, how she did that was beyond him and he did not bother to understand. The funny part was the comments.

Super Saiyan 9000: holy s**t, did you see that. That little girl kicked ass, the way she did that was amazing!

Lonely blade 2k: fake video, I mean come on a girl like that cannot possibly be super strong or jump that high. The person who uploaded the video just wants some views.

Fetty krill9000k: that is the point of uploading a video on tube tube and it is not fake bro.

Super Saiyan Swagger: how would you know that?

Fetty krill9000k: because I go to that school, I was there when the entire thing happened. I even broke my arm and that little girl healed me.

Lonely blade 2k: That is a load of crap; I will not believe a thing until I see it myself.

Fetty krill9000k: so you are saying that a half-destroyed school is not good enough for you if you do not want to believe it then fine be my guest.

Lars sighed as he read the comments, some believed that everything that happened was true and some simply said it was some special effects and some conspiracy theorists thought it was an alien invasion.

"Many people are getting dumber and dumber by the moment." The teen thought as he put his phone back in his pocket and opened the back door to the Big Donut.

Meanwhile back at the beach house, Steven was staring at pearl, she smiled at the infant who had this goofy look on his face but he kept staring at her and not even blinking. Pearl looked at him with wonder, curious to what is happening inside his little head. The boy started gurgling and making the cutest baby noises, the gem could not help but smile at his innocence. The Crystal Gem looked at Jasper, the amount of affection and love she gave the boy amazed Pearl, she was the opposite of their brutish and war-loving psycho of a gem, which was the Jasper from their dimension.

Jasper noticed that Pearl was smiling and staring at Steven, the super quartz noticed that the gem in front of her started warming up to them and decided that this opportunity to build some connection with her.

"Hey Pearl, would you like to hold Steven," Jasper suggested

"I don't think I should, I'm not that good with babies," Pearl said

"Oh nonsense, Steven likes you so what do you say." The super quartz said holding baby Steven to the Crystal Gem

"Please, I don't think that it's a good idea."

"Come on Pearl, how you can say no to a cute face like that." She asked and to those words, the boy smiled at her

"Oh ok, give him to me."

Pearl held Steven; the boy grabbed her by the nose and started laughing making the gem holding his smile. She could not help but laugh as he drooled and smiled and did what every kid his age would do.

"See, that wasn't so bad," Jasper said, grinning as she looks at Pearl holding her baby.

"I never imagined that holding a baby would be like this, With Nora, it was Greg who did everything, how are you managing so far? It must be difficult to handle a baby."

"I may not show it but I know how to handle a baby, back when we had Steven for the first time I did not leave Greg alone for a single second. I still have not gotten over the fact that Rose is gone and nothing will bring her back, I realized that Steven was the product of her love with Greg and that the innocent boy deserved our love so I loved him with all my being and kept seeing him whenever I had the time. We became friends and he taught me how to take care of a baby in case something happened to him." The perfect quartz said

She looked at Pearl, the Slim Crystal gem stared at her with sparkling eyes.

"Wow, I've never known."

"I'm sorry; I think I just bored you with all the details of my life," Jasper said sheepishly.

"No, there was nothing boring about what you told me. Thank you for sharing such personal details of your life with me, I feel honored."

"You know, if you and the Pearl of my universe meet you two would be best friends."

"Oh, why thank you," Pearl said, blushing a bit.

"Hey pearl, about the awkwardness and tension between us, are we ok?" Jasper asked worried about

"You don't have to worry about it; I'm the one that should be apologizing. It was rather stupid of me to punish you for things you did not even do, I hope you and I are good as young people of this time say."

Jasper smiled and held her hand to Pearl; the smaller gem took that as a yes and shook the quartz's hand.

Inside the temple, Garnet smiled, as she knew what happened between Pearl and Jasper. The bigger question now, how will Jasper face Lapis?

The fusion sat down and began meditating when she suddenly heard a sound coming from the corner of her room, she turned her head and saw the escape pod that brought Jasper and Steven emitting this humming sound.

The leader of the Crystal Gems approached the sphere slowly, when she was, close enough she felt light wash over all her being. Turns out the thing was scanning her. When it finished, a small triangular section appeared, she saw a faint glow coming out of it.

"Greetings, I 'am CRYSTAL." A robotic female voice said.

Aaannnd cut, first I am sorry that I did not update any sooner and second sorry this chapter is shorter than the other chapters. Back to business, now that Pearl and Amethyst are cool with Jasper the bigger issue is with Lapis and of course Peridot. Originally I intended that they resolve their issues with Jasper after I write Jasper's past but it was delayed, Jasper will get to resolve every problem with them the in the upcoming chapters so stay tuned for more.
