"Jewel can you please leave me to my work, I'm quite busy at the moment." Peridot's tone was annoyed as usual, but she was never able to get rid of Jewel. Jewel was always much too interested in her work to leave.

"All I wanted to do is see what you were working on, and if I may help?" Jewel blushed lightly as she started to walk away, not wanting to see the anger on Peridot's face. Maybe Peridot really did not like her.

"You can help actually," Peridot's voice cracked, like she was trying to force these words out. "If you hand me my supplies it will help my work go faster." Maybe Peridot was actually trying to give Jewel a chance. At this point Jewel didn't really care that Peridot's words sounded like pity, she was happy enough to just be able to talk to the green gem. Jewel quickly turned around to see Peridot staring at her and then quickly turning away.

Not considering the risk, Jewel took a few steps closer, trying to see what Peridot might need. Sadly the gem had never been good with technology she much rather be reading the ancient gem text, then working with this new advanced technology.

"Get me the drill." Peridot had no tone in her voice what so ever. Would this be just for nothing?

Jewel looked around the objects trying to remember the name of each tool she had seen before. Sadly, Jewel did not remember anyone teaching her what a "drill" was. She then looked at Peridot trying to figure out what to say.

"Uhh Peridot." Jewel said in a whisper, for why would she be loud about this.

"Yes, where's the drill?" Peridot looked around for the mysterious object, and picked up a gray metallic device.

Peridot mumbled a few words and then got back to her work, whatever that was.

Jewel stood at the table with all the tools trying to figure out each of their names. She picked them up, observed them, and even opened some up, but was never able to name all of them. Jewel was just not good with technology, and that seemed to be all Peridot cared about.

"Peridot," Jewel's voice was quiet but loud enough for Peridot to hear.

Peridot moved away from her work and walked over to Jewel. She started organizing her tools and mumbled things like "clod" angrily. Jewel blushed when she realized why she was angry. Jewel had mixed up all Peridot's neatly arranged tools.

"I'm- I'm sorry."

Peridot sighed and took another tool into her small green hand. "I had a great order and now it's ruined."

"Well maybe if you teach me what the hell these things are, I won't mess them up." Jewel was sick of the ungrateful gem. All she was trying to do is help, it seemed Peridot was bothered by everything she did.

"Fine I'll teach you what these things are, but you better learn all of them if you want to help me."

Jewel's smiled gleamed as she scooted closer to Peridot, ready for her lesson. Peridot was finally opening up to her.

Peridot began pointing at different object but Jewel could not hear a single word, for she was too excited. Peridot was actually talking to Peridot out of an offer.

Jewel sighed as she picked up the drill, remembering the times she spent with Peridot. Homeworld would have probably not have been the same place Jewel remembered without Peridot, and now she was her enemy.

What happened?

Jewel took the drill and began to fix her creation. Ever since she started talking to Peridot Jewel had developed a strong love for technology, but would never pass on a book.

"Jewel come help us," Pearl's voice called from the outside of the barn. Jewel let out another long sigh. It had been a day since she told her mother what she saw, and now Pearl will not let her be by herself.

Jewel slouched to her mother not bothering to look up, since she knew what she would find. Her plan was interrupted by Pearl who grabbed her by the shoulders and pulled her up. Jewel was now in a soldier like stance, that she wanted to break once her mother would get her eyes off of her.

"You look sick when you stand like that," Pearl tried to explain.

"I feel fine."

"No you don't," Jewel knew she was right. Jewel felt the exact opposite of fine. Before this she didn't know her feelings for Peridot were that strong. Everytime she had time to think she would think of that, and that's why Pearl had been making her do all these things. All these chores would just pile up until they eventually took over Jewel.

"Should I go?"

Pearl stopped walking and took Jewel's hand. Pearl had same delicate fingers, while Jewel had the exact same hands as her father, rough and dirty. Pearl sighed. "I don't want you to go, you've never been good with Earth and the danger it's putting you in… But you want to, and I'm in no place to stop you."

She had no words to this, all she could do is squeeze Pearl's hands. Pearl let go of her hands and her communication and walked away, not waiting for Jewel to catch up.

The sand glittered with the fierce green that made up the ship, making the sand seem so much more than it already was. Yes the sand was rocks from the Earth millions of years ago, but now or later it would be made of the Homeworld Gem's ship. The sand is changing along with the rest of them.

Before Steven didn't know how to use his shield what so ever and now he is finally getting used to it. Garnet has finally told Steven that she was a fusion (only yesterday but it's still amazing, Pearl seems to be getting happier, Jewel is learning more about herself, and Amethyst is accepting who she is. And not only this he had Lapis.

In the little time she had been there Lapis was always at Steven's side. At first Steven thought Lapis was only with him because that was the only person that could help her. But after Steven started to realize that she just liked Steven.

And he could not be more happier.

Steven broke out of his thoughts, he had a lot of work to do.. The humans would be back soon and there was still a ton of debris and damage.

Today Garnet, Amethyst, and Steven would be going into town and collecting all the debris there. Garnet and Amethyst would be picking up the bigger pieces, while Steven would get the tiny rubbish the two were too busy to even care about.

"Garnet! Garnet!," Steven called.

"What is it Steven?" Garnet's voice was always so calming to Steven.

"How long do you think this will take? I don't think La-"

"Steven's got a crush!" Amethyst sang making Steven's face heat up with a red mark.

"Amethyst!" Steven was happy with the relationship they already had but never wanted to made a big deal of it.

"Sorry but someone had to say it. You guys are always talking and it's so cute!" Much to Steven's dislike Amethyst started making kissing faces, but Garnet quickly took care of that by grabbing Amethyst and throwing her into the air and slamming her into the ocean.

"I was getting uncomfortable." Garnet explained as if all she did was flick Amethyst on the head. It usually would take a while for Amethyst to get back so at least that teasing would be gone.

Quickly Steven ran to the first tiny rock he saw and bubbled it, impressed by his work. His job was simple find the small rocks and bubble them to the temple. The other gems would handle the rest.

Steven watched in awe as Garnet went to a huge green boulder. It was probably the size of his little home and Garnet picked it up with ease. She then punched it into the air and the once huge boulder became little pebbles scattering all over the town. Steven used his bubbled to cover himself from this rocky rain. Maybe his job would take longer than expected.

It took two hours exactly for Amethyst to return soaking wet with seaweed strung over her face. In that two hours Steven was loaded with work and desperately needed a break.

"Amethyst do you think you can take over?" Sweat was dripping down Steven's face. It took a lot in him to bubble, and bubbling every tiny rock was exhausting. If he didn't get some rest soon he would most likely faint.

"Sure little dude you look like you're going to faint."

Steven had no comment for that. All he did was quickly run off to take a stroll around the town. It was always calming to take these little walks and was a great place to think. That is until you trip on something and face plant into the hard concrete.

Steven groaned as he slowly touched his face and saw his fingertips gleaming with red blood. So it must've been a pretty rough fall. He was about to go tel Garnet when he noticed what he had tripped on.

The crack in the concrete got the object stuck there so it took a while to get the thing out. When Steven finally did it, the thing seemed to be a foot. The foot looked familiar Steven could just not put his mind to it. Certainly the gems could, he raced to them not minding the wound still on his face.

"Steven your face what happened?" Garnet cupped Steven's face in her large hands and looked at the wound. It was just a small cut but seemed to be producing a ton of blood.

To stop it Steven quickly licked his hand and plastered it on his cheek making the wound disappear. Leaving blood on his face.

"It's fine Garnet, but look what I found!" Steven held up the foot proudly.

Garnet did not give Steven the reaction he wa hoping for. She had a worried look on her face that told him something was definitely wrong. "Where did you get that?"

"Oh I just found it in the crack over there." Steven pointed to the crack where he had dramatically fell.

"She's been here," Garnet said in almost a whisper.

"Who?"

"Peridot."
