The next day in the morning...
Peridot still laid down with her eyes closed, she was so relaxed that she didn't feel Steven and Lapis watching her sleep.
"Wow, I didn't think she would actually sleep." said Steven with a happy face.
"Yeah, I thought she needed some rest, so I told her to relax by sleeping." explained Lapis. Then Steven noticed the cookie cat clock on his room and saw it was 9 o' clock.
"Oh man! I nearly forgot, I have to do something." said Steven while rushing towards the door of the rooms of the Crystal Temple.
"Pearl! Would you please come down for a second?" shouted Steven. Then the gem of Pearl began to glow. The door open and revealed Pearl emerged from her room.
"What is it, Steven?" asked Pearl.
"Come closer, I need to ask you something but keep it between the two of us." said Steven. Then Pearl began to kneel down until she was close enough to hear Steven whispering to her.
"All right Steven, I'll help you do it." said Pearl giving Steven a smile.
"Oh yeah!" said Steven in excitement. Then Steven runned towards Lapis.
"Lapis if it doesn't trouble you, would you please watch Peridot and make sure she doesn't wake up?" asked Steven.
"Why? Did she do something bad?" asked a confused Lapis.
"Nope, but I can't tell you right now; but would you still watch Peridot?" said Steven.
"All right Steven, I'll watch her." responded Lapis.
"Thanks Lapis." said Steven thanking Lapis.
Many minutes have passed and Steven along with Pearl were doing something on the kitchen while Lapis still sit there watching Peridot still asleep.
"(Man, she sures is asleep. Maybe she was extremely tired and it was the first time she relaxed.)" thought Lapis not taking her stare away.
"I think its done." said Pearl while taking out some waffles of the frying pan and putting it on a plate.
"All right, now lets add the final details." said Steven while taking out a strawberry, some cream, and a chocolate syrup.
"It looks good, Steven." said Pearl as she watches Steven decorating the waffles.
"Yep! Now that its done, I will call Garnet and Amethyst." said Steven while rushing towards the Crystal Door.
"GARNET! AMETHYST! Would you please come here?" shouted Steven. Then the door gem of Amethyst began to glow and opened revealing Amethyst and Garnet.
"What's up?" greeted Amethyst. Then Amethyst noticed five plates of waffles decorated with a lot of chocolate syrup, cream, and a strawberry and began to drool.
"Wow, Thats a delicious food." said Amethyst while drooling.
"Thanks, Pearl and I made it so we can have a together breakfast with all of you including Lapis and Peridot." said Steven with stars on his eyes.
"Lapis! Would you please wake up Peridot?" asked Steven.
"Don't worry, I'm on it." said Lapis. Then Lapis put both of her hands on her mouth and began to do a fart noise loud enough to wake up Peridot.
"GAAH!" screamed Peridot while falling over the floor.
"Hey there had sweet dreams?" teased Lapis while smiling. Amethyst was laughing so hard by the way how Lapis woke up Peridot.
"Oh man that is hilarious! I'm starting to like this gem.
"YOU CLOD! Don't scare me like that!" shouted Peridot annoyed by how Lapis woke her up.
"Hey cheer up, Steven made something for all of us." said Lapis trying to calm down Peridot. Peridot then rubben her left eye
"What is it this time?" asked Peridot still rubbing her left eye.
"I don't know, he hasn't exactly told us what he is doing." said Lapis while shrugging her arms. Then Steven made his way towards Lapis and Peridot.
"Oh! I'm glad you woke up already Peri. I made something for all of us to enjoy." said Steven while jumping around Peridot and Lapis.
"Hehe, and whats that Steven?" said Lapis while giggling a little bit.
"Something very special, now come on!" said Steven while running towards the kitchen.
"Coming." said Lapis while following Steven and Peridot doing the same.
When Lapis and Peridot made it to the kitchen they noticed the five plates full of waffles decorated with Chocolate syrup, cream and a strawberry.
"Whats that?" asked Peridot trying to analyze the food.
"Its a breakfast. A together breakfast!" said Steven while smiling with stars on his eyes.
"A together breakfast?" said a confused Peridot.
"Yeah! You see when every human wake up in the morning its time to eat the first food of the day called Breakfast!" explained Steven.
"Wow, humans have the most weirdest rituals on their routine." said Peridot.
"But why you call it Together breakfast?" asked Lapis.
"Oh! I decided to change the routine of the breakfast and eat breakfast with the Crystal Gems having the same food and sharing it with each other no matter the plate of each one." explained Steven.
"Okay then, but why did you bring us here?" asked once again Lapis.
"I decided that because both of you are part of the Crystal Gems, have our first together breakfast with both of you and enjoy it like the family we are." explained Steven. After the commentary Steven said Lapis and Peridot blushed and Lapis smile after hearing that.
"Aww Steven, thats so sweet, but they are five plates and they six of us." said a confused Lapis while seeing the plates.
"Pearl hates eating because she finds it disgusting, but she likes to cook and bake pie." said Steven.
"All right Enough chit-chat! Lets eat this tasty food." said Amethyst already impatient and drooling over the floor after seeing the breakfast.
Pearl was grossed out by how Amethyst was drooling over the floor, but decide to not pay attention.
"Ugh, I'll go get the mop." said Pearl while leaving the kitchen.
Steven, and the Crystal Gems (except Pearl who was cleaning Amethyst drool) were eating the breakfast that Pearl and Steven made.
Lapis and Garnet were eating peacefully while Peridot was studying every bit of the food before eating that piece meanwhile Amethyst was just simply devouring the food without using the fork and the little knife.
"Relax Peri, its food. You don't have to study every single data of it." said Steven.
"I'm studying it because this food has a complex form." said Peridot.
"Oh don't worry about it Peri. Its very fun to do, well depending on the food if you like it or not." explained Steven.
"Hmm... All right. I'll stop studying this food and try to enjoy it." said Peridot while making disappear the laptop and returning the finger to its original place.
"Yeah! Enjoy it like Amethyst." said Steven while smiling with diamond eyes.
Then Peridot turned to Amethyst and saw how she put her whole face into the breakfast and making a little bit of the cream on Garnet face, but Garnet pay it no mind.
"Yeah... I'm not going to do that." said Peridot with a disguisted face.
"(Great another nerd.)" thought Amethyst while still devouring the breakfast.
"Oh! I almost forgot! Lapis, and Peridot!" said Steven catching the attention of Lapis and Peridot.
"What is it Steven?" asked Lapis.
"After eating breakfast lets pay a visit to my dad." said Steven while smiling.
Lapis and Peridot looked confused.
"What is the occasion?" asked Pearl.
"Well, they just met my dad on the beach but that wasn't a proper meeting especially after my dad panicked after seeing Lapis. So I thought it was nice for Greg to meet Lapis and Peridot and be on good terms." said Steven
"All right, I'll go." said Lapis.
"What about you Peri?" asked Steven while smiling.
"Well, if the Steven says its a good idea then I'll go too." said Peridot.
"All right! Then I should eat this quickly if we want to go." said Steven while grabbing his fork and knife and start eating fast the food.
"Steven, don't eat too fast. Remember what happend when you ate all that corn?" said Pearl while finishing cleaning up Amethyst drool.
"Ugh, I still have bad memories of all that corn." said Steven.
15 minutes Later...
Amethyst already finished her breakfast, Steven was the second one while Lapis and Garnet finished at the same time and since Peridot began late at eating her breakfast, she finished at last.
"All right now that we finished our breakfast is time to visit my dad!" said Steven while smiling and with starry eyes.
Lapis laughed a little bit.
"Okay Steven, we'll go and meet again your dad." said Lapis while smiling.
"All right gals. Me, Lapis and Peri will be at my dad carwash okay? We will be back before at noon." said a very excited Steven while jumping around and grab Lapis and Peridot hand and went to open the door and leave with Lapis and Peridot leaving the house with the three original Crystal Gems now with a worried face.
"Okay now that he is distracted and gone, I think its the perfect opportunity to discuss this." said Garnet adjusting her shades.
"Discuss what? heh, heh heh." said a nervous Pearl.
"Pearl." said Garnet putting her left hand on Pearl shoulder.
"NO! We shouldn't talk about that topic all right! We just need to keep her on that bubble for the rest of the eternity." shouted Pearl while shoving off Garnet hand from her shoulder.
"Listen Pearl, all of us know that soon enough Jasper will be reformed back." said Garnet while summoning the bubble that kept Jasper cracked gem on it.
"Why don't we just lock her away on something? You know like a mirror?" suggested Amethyst trying to resolve the things.
"Amethyst, you know very well what happend last time we put a gem on a mirror. I don't want that for Steven especially now that he finally got Lapis Lazuli on our side." said Garnet.
"I still don't trust her and much less Peridot! Lapis told everything she knows about us and Steven when Jasper and Peridot attacked us! And lets not forget that time Peridot try to squash Steven!" said a still worried Pearl.
"She told them about our base, but she didn't said a single word of Steven to Jasper. She even lie to her about Steven not being a Crystal Gem and only being a regular human just to protect him. Yeah, she told Jasper about our home and us, but thats because we kept her as a prisoner. She might have attacked us at the beginning but only because we neglated her own freedom. Maybe if we have freed her before she could just left to homeworld without telling anything or even joining the Crystal Gems since Rose was with us and she could heal the gem of Lapis with her tears." explained Garnet trying to calm down Pearl.
"She has a point, P." added Amethyst.
"Well yeah, but what are the chances that Steven notice Jasper gone missing?" asked Pearl.
"Theres a big chance that he will be the first one to ask about Jasper gem only to be followed by Peridot or Lapis asking the same thing." responded Garnet.
"Well, but whats the point? We should just lock it anyway; if she gets out she might try to fight us again." said Amethyst.
"Ugh! You don't understand Amethyst! We are doing this to prevent Steven being on danger again." shouted Pearl.
"Geez, relax P. Its Steven we are talking about. If he manage to redeem that nerd then he would be the first one to be friendly with Jasper (even though she headbutt him)." said Amethyst.
"True." responded Garnet in a stoic manner.
"But we are getting out of the topic! Our main objective right now, is to see what should we do with Jasper gem. All of us know that when Lapis manage to reform back even with her gem broke, and the worst of all she was powerful enough to hold the three of us, and taking down the whole ocean." added Pearl.
"Hmm, Theres nothing we can do right now. The only solution is to wait in my room to prevent Steven from knowing everything about this. I don't want to risk his life again...Not like last time." said Garnet.
Pearl and Amethyst were unsure about this, but they couldn't think a better idea so they decide to stick with it.
"Hold this for a while." said Garnet while giving the bubbled Jasper cracked gem to Pearl.
Then Garnet used both of her gems to activate the both of the door gems of hers and finally opening her room.
"(I hope Steven is all right.)" thought Pearl before entering Garnet room.
Meanwhile at Greg Carwash...
Greg was washing his Van while listening to the first song of his album, Water Witch by using his headphones. Then Steven, Lapis and Peridotwere getting close to the carwash. Greg noticed Steven coming to the carwash so he decide to take off his headphones.
"Hey Lapis, can you control the water even if you aren't near the water?" asked Steven.
"Yeah,I can produce water, but I only can make a small amount of it." responded Lapis.
"Oh, thats okay. You see everytime I came to visit my dad he tend to splash me with his water hose if I don't come prepared to fight. But now that you are with me, could you splash my dad without hurting him or drowning him." said Steven.
"Heh, heh. All right Steven I'll splash you dad if he splashes you." added Steven.
Then Steven, Lapis, and Peridot finally made it to the carwash and Greg quickly prepared his water hose so he could splash Steven.
"Hey Dad!" said Steven while waving at Greg. Then Steven without any warning he got splashed by his dad.
"Steven, how many times do I have to splash you if you always come unarmed." said Greg joking with Steven.
"Ha! Oh, I AM prepared Dad. LAPIS! Now is your chance!" shouted Steven while giving Lapis the sign to splash Greg.
Then Lapis use her hydrokinesis power and control the water coming from the water hose of Greg making the movement of the water defying the gravity and splashed Greg with full force.
"YEAH! Lapis that was amazing, I finally got my revenge!" said Steven while smiling with diamond eyes. Then Greg coughed up a little bit.
"Wow, that was a good one Steven, I didn't think you would bring her and be your secret weapon. You finally got your old man." said Greg still joking with Steven.
"Heh, What can I say? The BSFB always support each other." said Steven with starry eyes.
"BSFB?" said a confused Peridot trying to understand what those letter means.
"Beach Summer Fun Buddies. I figured it out that by only saying the initials will be more easy to say." answered Steven.
"Oh." added Peridot.
"Heh heh. Thats really nice of you Steven." said Lapis while giggling a little bit.
"Yeah thats really an A-side Steven. So what you guys need? Some advices of life? or perhaps you need me for another magical sound device like the one from the wailing stone?" said Greg.
"Uhh, nope. We just want to visit you and get know Lapis Lazuli, and Peridot and be on better terms, since you know... Last time you freaked out when you saw her." explained Steven.
"Heh, Guilty." added Greg while slightly blushing from embarrastment.
Then Peridot noticed the strange advices hanging from Greg neck.
"Umm Steven, may I ask what are those things?" asked Peridot while pointing at the headphones of Greg.
"Oh. Those are headphones. We use them so we can hear sounds and music just by ourselves without annoying or distracting anyone." explained Steven.
"Fascinating. And I thought the humans were just simply stupid enough by not having any great technology." said Peridot.
"Umm, Thanks...I guess?" said Greg.
"What music are you listening?" asked Lapis having curiosity witht he headphones.
"I'm listening to the first duet me and Steven made about..." said Gregn, but he cut himself when he remembered that he made an album about Lapis Lazuli calling her a water witch.
"Umm, I think thats not important. Probably you wouldn't like it." said a nervous Greg.
Then Peridot noticed the book with a drawing cover that looked like Lapis Lazuli with a tower made of Water as a background and the words Water Witch on a creepy with a little bit liquid style.
"Water...Witch? What does this drawing means?" asked Peridot while showing the cover to Steven and Lapis.
"(Oh No! I'm so dead once she founds out how I draw she will definetly destroy me!)" thought a panicked Greg.
"Oh yeah! Dad made this cool cover about Lapis and how she took the ocean to build a tower. He decide to make an album full of songs about that and I help him writing some lyrics." said Steven.
"Really?" said an surprised Lapis.
"Well my lyrics weren't so great, but thanks to my little buddy here he write awesome lyrics about you. You should totally hear it." said Greg.
"Ahh, I don't know." said a nervous Steven.
"Please Steven. I want to hear that song that you write about me." said Lapis asking Steven to sing the song about her.
"Oh all right I'll do it. But I'm gonna need a guitar." said Steven.
"Don't worry about it I still have my guitar here on my van." said Greg while going to the van and search his guitar. Then Greg finally noticed his guitar and took it out of the van and made his way to Steven.
"Here you go, buddy. Now lets hear it from you." said Greg while giving his guitar to Steven.
"Thanks Dad." said Steven while putting on the guitar. Then Steven tested the chords from the song and he finally achieve it.
"All right, Here I go!" said Steven preparing to Sing.
"She was trapped in a mirror, And it couldn't be clearer She wanted to leave this place, And get herself back in
space! And I know you thought she was a.. Criminal.. But her friendship comes through.. Subliminal.. Oh Lapis
Lazuli! You fled into the bottom of the sea! Oh Lapis Lazuli! You were so mad but then you came around to me
You may think that you are alone in this world and you will never be able to find freedom but you will always
be free with us and be the Beach Summer Fun Buddies we are. Just have a little, have a little, have a little
have a little faith on us because we'll always be your key to the the real Freedom and true friendship. Now that
you are one of us, you will never go through those expirience again since I will always believe in you just like
you believe in Me. Oh Lapis Lazuli, you will always be our Beach Summer Fun Buddy and be part of my family."
Lapis was crying by the song of Steven, but she know that those tears were from the happiness she finally earn. She know that Steven will be her friend and will always trust her and protect her no matter what happens. Peridot didn't quite understand the music, but she could tell that it was quite beautiful.
"Thats my boy! You make a great singer, even more awesome than me. Of course I teach you everything you know about music and sound." said Greg while patting and rubbing Steven hair.
"Heh, heh. Thanks Dad." said Steven while smiling then Steven walked towards Lapis.
"So did you like it?" asked Steven waiting Lapis to respond.
Suddenly Lapis hugged tightly Steven with tears on her eyes.
"Of course I like it Steven. In fact, I love it so much." said Lapis still hugging Steven.
After Lapis broke the hug she kissed Steven on his forehead making Steven blush a little bit.
"Steven Universe, you are the most precious thing that has ever happend to me. I will always love you for that Steven." said Lapis.
"Oh come on, You are making me blush." said Steven while laughing.
"Steven, you are a mysterious being, but I can tell you have wonderful abilities. I don't know how to express how that music was." said Peridot.
"Its okay Peri, You don't need to say how awesome it was my song." said Steven.
"You should totally help me with the songs, when the Beach Festival gets here." said Greg.
"Oh boy! The Beach Festival is already coming?!" asked an excited Steven.
"Umm not that close, but about 8 months will begin." responded Greg.
"Whats a Beach Festival?" asked Peridot.
Steven and Greg couldn't believe what their ears could hear. Steven was surprised when he heard that, but he could understand it since Lapis and Peridot don't know any of the human celebrations yet.
"You see, The Beach Festival is a special event that takes place on Beach City where every citizens participates on it. Mayor Dewey with the help of some citizens organizes special mini events so we could have fun. Those special mini events are singing, dancing, a parade, eating contest, and other kind of contest, and many other awesome things." explained Steven with stars and diamond eyes.
"Thats sound...interesting." said Peridot.
Much Later...
Steven along with Lapis and Peridot leave Greg Carwash and it seems that Greg befriended Lapis and Peridot on this day. Greg promised to change the cover of his album and also the title. He would change Water Witch to Princess of the Element Water. Although he told them that its only the beta title.
Steven decide to bring 3 bags of fry bits before retuning back to the house.
Meanwhile at Garnet Room...
Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl were still thinking about what to do with Jasper cracked Gem.
"How about we trap it on Rose moss?" suggested Amethyst.
"AMETHYST! I am not going to let that gem be close to one of Rose beautiful things!" shouted Pearl.
"Well, YOU DON'T HAVE TO SCREAM AT ME!" shouted back Amethyst.
"BOTH OF YOU! Calm down right now, theres no time for me to deal with your childish discussion" shouted Garnet so strictly that make Pearl and Amethyst quiet.
"Now, any more ideas?" said Garnet regaining her normal and stoic tone.
Pearl and Amethyst went quiet but still thinking any methods.
"Garnet, I still think we should just hide it on a place Steven wouldn't look." suggested Pearl.
"Pearl remember, Sooner or Later they will ask and we just gained the trust from Lapis and Peridot." responded Garnet.
"Why don't we just lock her up on a sealed box and throw her away deep in the ocean." suggested Amethyst.
"Amethyst, you know very well that-" said Pearl but was interupted by Garnet.
"Actually thats a great idea." said Garnet shocking Pearl in process.
"But first we should seal the box with Amethyst wipe combined with the power of our gems to seal the things, so in that way she would never reform back and we can be the only ones to take the seal away." suggested Garnet.
"Hmm, now that you say it like that then its not a bad idea after all." added Pearl.
"All right, we are going to do this early in the morning, that way Steven doesn't know about this." said Garnet adjusting her shades.
Suddenly Garnet heard something.
"Guys, I'm back!" shouted Steven in his room.
"Steven is back. Pearl hide the bubble" said Garnet while Pearl hide the bubble containing Jasper cracked gem.
At Steven Room...
The Door of Garnet room opened and revealed Pearl, Amethyst and Garnet.
"Good Evening Steven, how was the time with Greg?" asked Garnet.
"It was amazing! Dad says that we can help him write the songs for the Beach Festival." says an excited Steven with starry eyes.
"Thats real...nice, heh, heh." said a nervous Pearl.
"Umm, why are you so nervous Pearl?" asked a confused Steven.
"Umm, well you see the thing is...that, heh, heh is that..." struggled Pearl at saying the correct words and trying not to say about Jasper Gem.
"She is just nervous that because she doesn't know how to sing, so therefore she won't be any help at writing songs for Greg." said Amethyst making Pearl be annoyed with a little blush on her face.
"Don't underestimate Pearl, Amethyst. She is a great singer, you should totally hear her when she sang about how to be Strong in the real way." said Steven defending Pearl.
"Thank you very much, Steven." said a more relaxed Pearl with a proud tone.
"Well Steven, I think its time to have dinner." suggested Garnet.
Steven agreed with it and decide to wait the dinner to be ready.
At midnight...
After Steven finished his dinner with the Gems, he went to sleep at 10:30 PM. Leaving each gem to its own room.
"(Hmmm, I wonder when will be the time to make a room for Me and Peridot.)" thought Lapis lying down on the living couch.
Then She noticed that Peridot was checking her robonoid, Peri Jr.
"What are you doing?" asked Lapis.
"I'm trying to repair my flask robonoid to see where does the malfunctions comes." responded Peridot.
"Oh, okay then. I'll be sleeping on the couch if you need me for something." said Lapis.
"Umm thanks for the offer...I guess?" said a confused Peridot.
"(Peridot. Back on the ship I saw how she was treated by Jasper. Peridot is not so bad, besides Steven she was the only one that I talk to after getting though Jasper was her escort, she treated her like complete trash and also put me as a prisoner even though we were from Homeworld. I wonder what Garnet do to Jasper gem. Maybe I shouldn't get involved even though we are now from the same team I guess that she bubble it far away from the rest of us.)" thought Lapis as lie down her head on the couch and began to sleep.
Early in the morning (6:45 AM)...
The door from the room of the Gems opened and revealed the three original Crystal Gems. Amethyst was carrying two of her whips, Garnet summon her gauntlets and visor since she would take Jasper Sealed Box at the bottom of the sea, and Pearl was carrying three chains with five different kinds of lock simbolizing a gem.
"All right, Lapis and Steven are sleeping and Peridot is working on her robonoid lets end this quickly." whispered Garnet towards Pearl and Amethyst.
The original trio made their way towards the door without waking up Steven and Lapis, however Peridot noticed how stealthy were the gems so she decide to follow them.
"(What are they doing?)" thought Peridot.
Suddenly Peridot noticed the bubble that contained Jasper cracked gem.
"(WHAT THE?! Its Jasper gem! What are they gonna do with it?! I don't know what to do? Should I call Steven?)" thought a worried Peridot.
