Chapter 8(Steven)"Hybrid, I want you to tell me about your planet. For example, What is so valuable on it that my own gems would betray me for it?"Yellow asked this question nicely compared to how she usually talks to Steven. He thought this would be a good moment to get on her good side."Umm, if you want to, you can call me by my real name. Which is Steven.""Yes, yes. Now,Steven, tell me. I need to know why they would leave me. It's been making me curious since, well... let's just say a long time.""Okay, well. I think your gems stayed on Earth because they realized that it's worth protecting. Earth is beautiful and has many complex interactions between creatures. When you live there, like I did, you can see how pure and amazing everything is. They wanted to preserve it. Like I do.", Steven put a lot of explanation into his words. He was hoping that Yellow would be convinced enough to let him go."You sound just like the Peridot that betrayed me. It might be true if you have the same explanation. But still, no valuable resources there? No special technology?",Yellow almost looked concerned and Steven tried to understand her better."Not really. Gems are a lot more advanced than any creature on my planet. There is just beauty in the planet that's all.""Do you know what happened to my favorite Jasper? I don't really care about what happened, I just need to know the truth.""Well, Jasper sort of became corrupted?After that, we proofed her and stored her away with the other corrupted gems.", Steven once again thought about his word choices before he said them to Yellow. Steven then remembered Pearl and Citrine being there and looked at their reactions. They were both wide eyed at what Steven said about Yellows favorite Jasper. Steven then looked up at yellow to see her reaction. She was looking away towards the stars with a mad look on her face. Almost as if she was telling at the crystal gems from here."Jasper missed her diamond. That is what I think corrupted her.", Steven tried to keep her talking so Yellow wouldn't get mad."You know, Steven, it's very difficult for a gem to corrupt on its own. It's only happened three times in gem history and all three have happened after Pink was shattered all three of the gems were very upset about her death. I was too. Although Pink wasn't as, successful as us other diamonds, we still knew that since then, diamonds could fail. She failed. That's why I am talking to you now. I don't want my gems corrupting... I don't want to be shattered like Pink."Then Yellow lost all her anger and it turned into concern with hidden freight in her eyes. She was scared.Steven automatically felt bad for her and wanted to help her. Just being who Steven is."What do you want me to do,Yellow diamond?",Steven asked this because she was staring off with her scared expression for quite some time. He wanted her to feel better."oh, well I mainly wanted to ask you about Earth. I am simply curious. You being a hybrid of human and gem fascinates me. Did you inherit any of Rose Quartz's abilities?""Yep! well I think I have all of them, if there's more that I don't have maybe it's because I don't know about them yet. Do you know what powers she had?""well, it's been many centuries but I believe she had the ability to heal her soldiers and she had the ability to grow plant life on Earth. She have extraordinary abilities for a quarts soldier. Some of my elite gems have conjured crazy theories that she somehow did something to herself to have those abilities.""I have those two powers! I can't control them very well but I managed to heal Lapis, and Amethysts gems when they got cracked. I can't fully heal corruptions but I can make them go mostly uncorrupted for a while too!", Steven loved to learn about his mother even if it was from Yellow diamond. He also liked the fact that Yellow wasn't upset anymore."fascinating!", yellow bent down and looked at Steven. She lifted up his dirty shirt and looked at his gem. "I never thought that you would have any of her abilities!" She put his shirt back down and rubbed her fingers where they touched his shirt. "I'll have to get you new clothes. I suppose you can't make them on your own."Steven frowned. He didn't want to get rid of his clothes. It's all he had of back home. Of his family. But he was in need of new clothes so he nodded his head in agreement. He looked out at the stars and tried to imagine what the gems were doing without him
