"I see…." Garnet said as she was sitting in the bed where Steven laid down. She has been listening to the little boy for the past hour, with a box of tissues in one hand and a trash can in the other.

"I don`t know why I dreamed with that creature... but I felt so..." Steven tried to speak, but he cried so much, his nose was completely sealed from the oxygen; when he gasped for more air, he continued. "... I felt so helpless..." Steven grabbed another tissue from the box, from Garnet`s hand, cleaned his nose and tossed it in the trash can.

Garnet could not stand seeing her favourite boy in the world like this, she listened to his whole nightmare, but she felt like she should do something else, she grabbed Steven`s hand and said "Listen to me Steven, I know you think all gems should get along, but you say that because you don`t know the things the Homeworld gems have done to the ones that opposed to them."

Steven looked at Garnet with eyes of confusion. "This "fusion" is something like the tip of the iceberg for the monstrosities of the actions of the Homeworld gems..."

"What do you mean?" The boy, with his eyes full of tears, asked the gem sitting right next to him. She stood up and extended her hand to the boy "Come." Steven grabbed the gem`s hand and stoop up from the bed.

As they walked to the door that led to the temple Garnet told a story from the war days. "As the war went on, the Homeworld gems were getting weaker and weaker, more and more gems were joining the cause of Rose Quartz and this did a great impact in the war. In desperation, the Diamonds created a machine that could poof and manipulate the regeneration of our allies."

The door opened and Garnet led Steven through this part of the temple, which he didn`t knew; they walked through different corridors and caves to arrive at the room with all of the bubbled gems.

"All of these gems... once where crystal gems. They all formed part of our team and our cause, but the Homeworld gems turned them into the monsters we fight, poof, and then bubble."

Steven looked around the room, he looked at all the variety of gems that floated above him, countless bubbles, some of them contained completed gems, and others wielded separate shards.

"After the war, Rose quartz promised herself to find and rescue all of the missing gems, by any method possible. She took us all around the world to find these monsters, and then take them back here."

Steven looked back at Garnet, her shades reflected some of the bubbles and the lava pit that rested in the middle of the room. "This is what we do, everyday, we try to find and rescue all of these gems, and this is the way we deal with our past mistakes..."

Steven looked at the ground, but then Garnet lifted his face with her finger in his chin. "This is what we are training you for, to help and save these gems... including this one..." Then Garnet grabbed one of the bubbles, which contained a strange looking gem. And as Steven looked closer, he realised that it was the same gem that appeared in his dream.

The little boy, still in his pyjamas, felt the tears flooding his eyes once again, but they were interrupted by the gem standing before him, she wiped the tears from Steven`s face and said "If you really want to help these gems, you should train harder, to be able to poof and bubble, them... that is the only way to save them..."

Steven looked determined, his eyes reflected the fire from the lava pit, but Garnet could see the fire that came out of his soul. "I will! I won`t let you down!" Garnet smiled. "I know you won`t."

Then the two of them embraced in a tight hug, and Steven could see the special bubbled gem over Garnet`s shoulder. "And I won`t let you down either."
