SYNOPSIS
Taking place during "Fighting History" AU. Amethyst and Jasper hold a conversation about Garnet.
"What's up with Garnet?" Amethyst asks as she turns toward Jasper.
"How am I supposed to know?" Jasper snaps at Amethyst.
"She's your girl," Amethyst retorts back.
"Yet you've been around her longer. This new Garnet, is not the one I fell for," Jasper says and turns to walk away.
"Wait. Has time really separated y'all?" Amethyst questions quickly.
Jasper stops to regard Amethyst's question. Has time really separated them? No, it wasn't time, it was Rose and the War.
"It wasn't the time, it was the War." With that, Jasper walks out the door. She doesn't even make it to the beach before she hears Amethyst calling after her again.
"What do you mean by 'it was the war'?" Amethyst asks out of breath.
"Exactly what it sounds like. War changed her. She's not the same," Jasper drifts off. "There's times when I look at her and sometimes I don't even know who she is. She's hiding so much."
"Couldn't she say the same about you?" Amethyst throws out as they make their way down the beach.
"What is that supposed to mean?"
"Garnet could say that War changed you."
Jasper laughs. "I've always been the same."
"I wouldn't know. I just met you," Amethyst says and takes a seat in the sand.
Jasper looks at Amethyst before she too sits down. What is this runt trying?
"The way I am now is how I was then. Nothing has changed," Jasper says after a while.
"I mean, it's whatever. But what are you going to do about her?"
Amethyst's question makes Jasper turn her head.
"'Do about her'? What is there to do? I'll let her come to me."
Amethyst shakes her head. "Man, all I'm saying is that if she's your girl, you should go after her. Make sure she's okay," Amethyst lets out and stretches her arms behind her head. "Garnet has changed though. From when I first knew her to you stepping 'back' into the picture, she's not the same." With that Amethyst stands.
Amethyst looks down at Jasper and shakes her head. Is she really talking to a Homeworld gem, Jasper at that about her concerns for Garnet?
"Find her before we all lose her," Amethyst says quietly before she walks away.
"I already lost her," Jasper says under her breath.
