Ruby would never get used to the feeling of reforming, though this time she wasnt as disoriented. She could see clearly but her mind still felt like it was dancing in dizzying circles.

"Look, shes awake."

Olivine said quietly. Ruby looked up to see that all 4 gems were in a circle around her. She made a mental note of all of them. A Moss Agate, 2 Peridots, and a small Topaz. She liked the bigger peridot, her voice was soothing.

"How do you feel?"

Moss asked, it was seemingly more for curiosity than concern. Ruby shrugged and noticed the Topaz was holding a yellow bubble with a small blue gem inside.

"I'm f-fine."

She said quickly and began to shake a bit, crawling towards Topaz like a curious animal. She kept her eyes trained on the bubble and hot tears began to fall down her face.

"I need.. to see Sapphire."

Ruby sputtered, looking to Topaz with red pleading eyes. Topaz looked at Moss who gave a small curt nod. Topaz sighed and popped the bubble, gently handing the gem to Ruby.

"Oh my stars.. I-im so.. im so sorry.."

Ruby hugged the gem tightly as she began to sob once more. She kissed the gem gently and ran her finger along the triangular facets and tried to wipe the tears that flooded down her cheeks. She saw the gem begin to glow and set it down gently on the floor before scooting backwards.

Moss summoned her whip, and Olly summoned her shield. They looked concerned for whatever was about to form from that gem.

"No matter what she looks like, she'll always be the only star in my galaxy."

Ruby mumbled softly, staring wide eyed at the gem. She winced as a bright light flashed, the form of a 4 legged creature had begun to form. Ruby's eyes filled with tears once more when she was fully formed. She was only a bit taller than Ruby, her body was a blue ombre and horns sprouted from her head. Ruby began to shake and her body felt numb as she crawled towards her.

"S-sapph..ire?"

Ruby asked with a choked sob. The beast looked down at Ruby's pitiful shaking form and sniffed her. She let out a quiet huff and nudged Ruby's forehead with her own. The smooth cold surface of Sapphires gem slid across Ruby's forehead, earning another sob from her.

"What.. what happened to y-you?"

Ruby asked, not expecting an answer. She reached out her hand and gently ran her fingers through the thick fur that covered her head and spine. A small smile formed on Ruby's tear soaked face, leaving the battle ready gems around her baffled.

"You're still the most beautiful gem I've laid my eyes on, my dear Sapphire"
