Once she had reached the monster she kicked it as hard as she could and it went flying. That caused it to let go of Peedee and Connie. Oce the gem hit the gound it retreated to its gem and Steven bubbled it.
"What was that all about?" Diamond asked. "It could have been Peridot, but she hasn't sent anyone to attack the gems since...OH MY GOSH THE GEMS!" Steven yelled as he ran to the main gates of the school. "Steven! Where are you going?" Connie yelled. "I'm gonna go try to save the gems from whatever Peridot is planning for them. They need my shield!" Steven ran out of the main gates.
Connie kept on thinking about Steven as he was gone. Wondering if he was safe with the gems, or if Peridot had gotten to him before he got to the gems. She kept on thinking if she should go after him.
Steven had been gone for about three or four hours. They were in fourth period when Connie asked Diamond, "Have you seen Steven since he left?"
"Oh thank god someone finally mentioned it. I did not want to have that awkward conversation." Diamond said and Connie giggled.
"Um excuse me , can Connie and I go to the bathroom?" Diamond asked and their tacher gave them a slow nod. They slowly and awkwardly walked out of the room but then sprinted to PeeDee's class. They saw PeeDee in there and tried to get his attention. He gave them an annoyed look but then asked if he could go to the bathroom. It took a minute of begging before his teacher finally said yes.
They each ran to the temple with Connie telling them where it is but Diamond was in the front. Both Connie and PeeDee were extreamly tired once they go there but Diamond wasn't even breathing that hard. "Um, how about you two go first." Diamond said stepping to the side. "Are you kidding? You're awesome at fighting! You're gonna be infront." PeeDee insisted.
They walked in one by one. Starting with Diamond, then Connie, then Peedee. "Woah." Peedee said looking at his surroundings. Diamond had acted almost as if she'd been there before.
The Warp Pad activated and out came Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl...but no Steven.
