The next day, Tanzanite decided to get out of the house and take a stroll through part of Beach City. She felt she deserved a break from her human guest driving her crazy with stories of his parents and sister and cousins and some girl named Kathy. How surprising it must've been for the Gems to have a guy as insecure as he seemed suddenly talking up a storm about his life story; at least, it must have been for somebody like her or her pupil Pearl.

But enough of that. She had some reflecting to do here. She couldn't remember the last time they had encountered anybody like Greg; well, maybe except back in 1969 when a whole entourage of Woodstockers making their way to Illinois decided to settle in the temple, and stink up the entire place with their "herbs" and whatnot. (Twenty-two years later, the drugs' odors were still lingering around here.) But this human only seemed interested in the wickedly-enchanting rock 'n roll and looking cool. At least he didn't seem to pose a threat to her or the other Gems.

As she expounded further into this man's character, she suddenly came across a familiar, effeminate face.

"Zoisite?" the blue Gem asked with suspicion, a little confused by his appearance. "What are you doing here?"

"Well, isn't it obvious? I was on my way to tell your group that it was time for Diamond to go back home and rule her country." the pure-white Gem answered rather smugly. "I'm not too late, am I?"

Tanzanite craned her neck to look afar at where she had started. "I should hope not." she answered calmly. Something about this seemed wrong.

Well, this kind of encounter always seemed wrong as if her gut feeling hadn't made it apparent already. "If you'd like, I can lead you back to the temple."

"Thank you, but I'd rather she came to me instead."

"That might take a while. This is much faster."

"And how might that be?"

Tanzanite had to think of something quickly to answer his question. "We could teleport there. It'd only take a few seconds."

"Fine." Zoisite huffed.

And they did just that. When they got inside, Amethyst was dozing off on the couch while Zirconia was sitting at the counter and Jade was upstairs reenacting her glory days as a gladiatress with Garnet. The synthetic Gem only glanced at Zoisite's crystal eyes once before she started tremoring and wildly shrieking like a monkey. She then quickly jumped down onto the floor and curled up into a ball.

"Zirconia, calm down. He's just here to retrieve Diamond." Tanzanite tried coaxing her.

"Dear God, please don't let him hurt me again..." Zirconia blubbered as she continued to stay on the floor, locked in that position.

"I won't, believe me." Tanzanite assured her.

"Hey! What's with all the screaming?" Jade asked as she came down the stairs with Garnet following right behind her.

The two Gems, especially Garnet, then took a gander at Zoisite.

"...what are you doing here?" Garnet asked as she was silently starting to seeth with rage.

Tanzanite calmly explained for him, "He's just here to take Diamond back home. Don't worry, I promise I won't let him hurt anybody while he's with me."

"Let's hope you don't." Garnet said before she became quiet again.

Just as she'd said that, though, their guest from last night suddenly came back in search of something he'd accidentally left behind earlier.

Zoisite noticed him right away, and the white Gem could feel the blood in his body begin to boil and undulate asunder.

"Hey, what's the matter?" Greg asked while having his head tilted at this strange man. "I just came back for Kathy, that's all."

"Not now, Greg. As soon as Zoisite leaves, then you can get your guitar." Tanzanite spoke to him, this time in a hushed tone.

"Okay, why?"

"Well, let's just say he doesn't have a very good history with your kind. Your mere presence is pissing him off right now. Just leave now."

"But Kathy..."

"Just go."

"My cousins are going to be so disappointed if they don't get to meet her. And what about my aunt and uncle?"

Zoisite then gasped softly enough for nobody to hear him. This human had family... Perhaps he could go after them and make him wish he were dead that way.

Tanzanite immediately realized what Zoisite was going to do once he got ahold of these family members, and proceeded to scold the human while keeping her hushed intonation intact. Now their lives were in danger and it'd be his fault for telling him this information. What the hell had he done?
