"Where is she!? Please! She needs me! She'll be scared! AMAZONITE!"
A shaky yell came from the room Pearl was in: "Aquamarine!"
Garnet picked up Aquamarine and raced into the room, Steven trailing close behind.
Inside Pearl was trying to approach a blue gem with long, messy hair and ragged clothes.
The gem was cowering in a corner, pointing an axe at Pearl.
"She won't let me come near her!" yelled Pearl.
Garnet put Aquamarine down and she ran over to the gem.
"Amazonite!" she yelled happily.
"Aquamarine!" the other yelled back.
They hugged and Aquamarine comforted Amazonite.
A light emanated from them and their bodies started fusing together.
Suddenly the light faded and they were flung to opposite sides of the room.
"I-I don't understand…" said Amazonite.
"We're too weak to fuse…" said Aquamarine.
Garnet hesitated for a moment, as if contemplating something.
Then suddenly, a light started seeping from her, just as it had Amazonite and Aquamarine.
Two gems, one blue, one red, dropped to the floor.
Steven smiled, stars in his eyes.
"Y-you're a fusion?" asked Amazonite.
"Yes." Said the blue one, whose name was Sapphire, walking over to her.
The red one (Ruby), on the other hand, ran over to Aquamarine.
"You can do it!" she yelled.
"You just have to try a little bit harder… " said Sapphire to Amazonite gently.
The two got up.
They did their fusion dance before beginning to fuse once more.
The bright light came back and after a moment, it faded.
In its place was a tall, skinny blue gem with hair that reached her knees.
Unfortunately, they were only able to maintain the fusion for a few seconds before falling apart again.
Amazonite started crying and Aquamarine comforted her.
"Aw…" said Steven, disappointed.
"Come on!" yelled Ruby, "You can do this!"
"Ruby, they're exhausted, they can't do it right now…" said Sapphire.
Ruby sighed and they did their fusion dance.
Once again Garnet was formed.
Steven sighed and walked over to a door.
He was surprised by what he heard.
"Aw, C'mon, lemme go" said a voice he recognized as Amethyst's.
"No." came another voice, one that Steven had never heard before.
Steven opened the door. Inside were two gems.
The first was Amethyst, who was tied up with her own whip.
The second was a strange gem, who was sitting on her.
"Silver!" yelled Tiger Eye, who had seen her through the open doorway.
She ran over to the new gem, supposedly known as Silver.
The others trailed behind her.
"Guys! I'm so glad you're all ok!" said Silver.
"Uh…little help?" asked Amethyst.
Pearl walked over and untied her, a smug look drawn across her face.
"Can we trust you?" asked Silver.
"Yes." Said Garnet.
"Lazulite?" asked Silver.
"We can trust them." Said Lazulite.
"Good." Replied Silver.
