It was a just normal boring and day in the beach city, Jasper sighed as she finished changing the demi gem diaper and fed him a bottle of milk. Jasper smiled, thinking about it the progress of she made with the Crystal Gems and how good their relation becomes, now the only thing on her hands on right now is dealing with that Lapis gem that obviously holds a lot against her. Not that she can blame her after all the suffering she went through, Jasper knew that Lapis was bound to lash out of and Jasper happened to exactly look like the one that caused her to unleash the all those who negative emotions.

"How am I going to get her to like me?" Jasper asked herself

"Tell her the truth; tell her that you're not the gem that hurt her. You need to make her let go of the all that hate and negative emotions because I don't think that she's happy even though she poofed you"

"Are you a ninja or something because I swear I did not hear you or sense you come near me Amethyst?" The perfect quartz asked with a dumb look on her face

"I'M a gem of many talents." The purple gem answered nonchalantly

"Yeah I know that, but in all the honesty do you think that Lapis will warm up to me?" Jasper asked

"It will be difficult to get her to warm up to you but that is not impossible, give it a go and see how things turn out."

"I try, I hope she is not a tough nut and to cracking for the sake of Steven."

Meanwhile inside the temple

"Greetings, I am Crystal."

"What are you?" the fusion asked

"I'm the artificial intelligence designed to by Peridot to aid Jasper in raising Steven should they be successful in making the jump between dimensions and I see that they did."

"You mean that they decided to send Jasper with Steven without telling her?"

"Correct, but my orders forbid me from explaining furthermore."

"Fair enough, I suppose that you want to be taken to Jasper?"

"Correct, thank you for your kindness. Now, can you please pick me up from my side storage sector so I can fulfill the purpose of my creation?" The AI said

The fusion chuckled a bit, she then reached to the open compartment where Crystal's the voice originated the from a silver bracelet with an olive green square shaped crystal embedded in it's the center, she pulled out the bracelet without only for a holographic the image come to life. It looked like their own Peridot only more defined indicating that it was made in the image of its own creator, I an era one Peridot. The holographic image smiled at her.

"Thank you for your assistance." The AI said

The fusion smiled, thinking that things are getting better and better for Jasper and Steven. She exited the temple of where she found Jasper and Amethyst talking about something, but deciding that it was the time she headed for them.

"Hey guys, what are you doing?" she asked, trying to start a conversation

"Nothing, we are just chatting to. What are you up to Garnet?"

"I was just meditating in my room when the pod that brought Steven and Jasper started causing this is weird noise."

"Don't leave us hanging Garnet."

"Ok I found Crystal, an AI designed by the Peridot from Jasper's universe." She said.

"I find that hard to believe, I mean the only thing that was there beside the Steven and my bubbled gem was Rose's sword." The perfect for quartz said, growing curious by the moment.

"Think again Jasper," The fusion said and flashed the bracelet in front of the duo.

Jasper was shocked but then she remembered that those were the Crystal Gems, her Crystal Gems. They have been looking out for her even after they died. The perfect quartz resisted the urge to cry, she extended her trembling free hand to take the bracelet from Garnet and the fusion complied with a soft smile on her face. When she wore it on her wrist the square-shaped crystal came to life, it began glowing and a holographic image sprang from its centre. It looked exactly like the Peridot from her own universe.

"Peri is that you?" Jasper asked.

"I'm afraid that I'm not the gem you're looking for, I am Crystal and Peridot created me in order to assist you in raising Steven. You were chosen to be his teacher to be his protector and above all else his family. I hope you understand that."

"Your damn right I do, he is everything to me and I will do anything to protect him." The quartz said proudly

"Excellent, now I will tell you about my features. I come equipped with an entire dataBase containing everything on homeworld up to the point of where you rebelled. I also have my personal dimensions, one is for my data banks and processors and the other one is for storage and other purposes. It has its own atmosphere, but it's mostly Savannah like land and if you want I can add construct like buildings if you wish to. One last thing before I go back inside that when Steven reaches 14 I must be handed to him, those are my instructions and I must do them." The AI said

"Fair enough, so I believe that you will tutor Steven on everything from homeworld history and everything else about it?" The perfect quartz asked

"Correct, I will also teach him everything else I have recorded in my data banks. When Steven becomes what he is meant to be then my program is complete."

"How did you guys possess this type of technology?" Asked Amethyst

"I might have forgotten to tell you the fact that we caught a homeworld scout ship, it was years ago before even Rose met Greg."

"Well can you tell us?" The purple gem asked.

"I don't see why not." The perfect quartz said

Flashback: 15 years before Greg and Rose met

It was just another mission for the Crystal Gems; they managed to stop another corrupted gem from ruining the lives of people in France where their healing fountain was located. Even if it was easy and did not require a lot of effort, they were bored out of their minds.

"This is so boring; don't we have another mission to do?" Asked Amethyst

"Well, we don't have anything to do for the time being so why don't you help me while I work on some of my inventions." Said a much taller olive green colored gems, Peridot suggested the idea.

"Nah sounds boring, plus your inventions always blow up." The purple gem said.

"No, they don't, it was one time and it was because you had to push the switch before I even installed a limiter to regulate the energy flow you, idiot." The era one Peridot shot back.

"You two are more annoying when you are bored." Pearl said rolling her eyes.

"Hey, I resent that," Peridot said, more annoyed than angry with being called annoying.

"Yeah, what she said," Amethyst said not even knowing what Pearl said.

The trio continued bickering with you each other on the warp pad until they were noticed by none other than Jasper, she was deep in her thought and those three interrupted her train of thoughts. Deciding that she was not in the mood to deal with she was going to ask Rose.

"Rose, those three are going to each other again. Please do something." Jasper said.

"Ok, you know that they are just bored and have nothing to do." The pink haired Leader of the Crystal Gems, also known as Rose Quartz said.

"I know where Garnet is by the way?" Jasper said.

"She went inside the temple right after we got back; she's probably meditating inside her room," Rose said

"She always does that, good for her."

"Well I'm going to make them stop fighting; I read that there will be a rave tonight and its free entry."

"Good idea, we can at least have some fun after all those boring missions." The perfect quartz said

"Well I suppose you're right, we should have some fun." The leader of the Crystal Gems said and went for the trio to calm them allowing Jasper to return to her room. Rose smiled at the bickering trio; they were once enemies trying to shatter each other but now they are friends, wait for more than friends they are family.

"You are annoying and you know it," Pearl shouted

"No, we are not." Amethyst and Peridot shot back in unison

"Yes, you are."

"No, we are not."

"Now come on gems, no need for this bickering." A voice said from behind. They turned around only to see Rose smiling at them.

Pearl stopped immediately and blushed a bit.

"Oh... Um... Uh, Rose, I didn't see you there." Stuttered Pearl

"Pearl called us annoying but we are not annoying," Amethyst said

"No, I did not." Pearl shot back

"Come now, there is no need to fight. I overheard your conversation and have I'm happy to say that there will be a free party tonight so go get ready and we will meet at 7 PM."

"Finally, at least we can have some fun," Amethyst said, relieved that ah won't be spending another boring night alone in her room although she can go out on her own and annoy the crap out of each city's citizens.

"Well sorry but you have to count me out, I'm going to work on a project of mine and I need all the spare time I have if I'm going to finish it soon," Peridot said and then went to her room.

Rose looked at Pearl who nodded, telling her leader that she will be going with her.

Rose and Pearl left leaving the shorthaired Amethyst alone in front of the temple. The purple quartz smiled wickedly as a new idea of a prank came to her and then shape-shifted into a bird and started flying. She flew a bit only to hit an invisible object.

"Ouch, what the heck hit me?" The shape shifted quartz said as she looks around trying to identify what hit her but did not find a thing, deciding that it was not worth her time she flew away and went for the beach city. Unknown to her there was a small shimmering of light in the air but it disappeared as fast as it appeared.

Aaaaannnddd cut, boy was this fun to write. Enough chit chat and let's get down to business, this chapter is no filler at all seeing as it is telling of some of Jasper past with the Crystal Gems and if my calculations are correct this will span 2 or 3 more chapter. I am not going to tell you my inspiration, but you will know soon enough as I go deeper into the story. Another thing I wanted to say that this story will have a sequel and that I will begin to work on as soon as I finish working on this story, I also plan on doing a what if the story that will be focusing on this story but with an alternate beginning along with few more additions. I did not forget about the confrontation between Jasper and Lapis and I have a plan for them but it will take a while before they can confront each other finally. I will also answer any question you have in mind and before I go, I want to say thank you to those who followed and favored this story thank you. I always saw writing as a way to relieve myself from stress and lift my spirit up and seeing that my work liked really makes me happy.
