"Who are you?" Steven asked once again, making Connie's heart shatter even more. 'No it can't be true!' She said to herself. She dropped onto her knees, and felt hot wet tears roll down his t-shirt.
"Please tell.. me this is a sick joke.." She said between startled gasps. "Your joking right? Right?!" She asked as she grabbed at his shirt, she saw his gem.. his cracked gem, shining beautifully, but to her it was nothing more than a dim glow. She was too smart to think he was only kidding, she knew when his gem cracked his memories were gone. She saw it in his eyes, the way all of his maturity, and experience as a crystal gem, and how much he had grown since she'd met him was going away, she just didn't want to believe it, she saw in his eyes his call for help as his memories were being washed away. Now was a bad time for that to happen, especially when Lapis lazuli had only just left when this was happening. "You have to remember.." She said quietly only to herself.
Steven saw the pain in her eyes, and heard it within her sobs, he felt so guilty for this. He knew he couldn't help though. HE sat down on the couch. "Please... tell me what happened.." Steven said, he had to form the words in his mind fully before his mouth would actually process them and carry them to audible noise.
"Should I start over from the beginning?" Connie asked him, Steven nodded, his black curly hair bulging with movement. Connie saw the innocence, the curiosity in his eyes, the same from when they first met and he was starting off. Only now she knew him better than before. "Alright... it was just after Lapis Lazuli had fled home, at least a couple weeks actually, the gems had picked up her presence-"
"Gems? Lapis? Fled home?!" Steven asked, not understanding the words coming out of this women's mouth.
"The gems are three people that go by, Amethyst, Pearl, and Garnet, Lapis is a gem from their original planet, homeworld, and she was corrupt, a gem who was incapable of understanding human values. She only wanted to flee home, but ended up wanting revenge, Garnet traced her and found out she was coming back to Earth, and should be arriving soon. You and your father, Greg Universe, wrote a song about her a while back." She said remembering the song he had sung for her. Well.. hummed actually. Steven had to admit, he had a song stuck in his head ever since he got up, he heard it in a dream.. he thought. He closed his eyes and tried to recall it.
"She was trapped in a mirror and it couldn't be clearer, she wanted to leave this place and get herself back in space, hey you might think shes a - criminal, but her friendship comes through subliminal, Lapis Lazuli~~~ You fled into the bottom of the sea, Lapis Lazuli~~~ You were so mad, but then you came around to me~!" Steven sung quietly, Connie heard and smiled.
"Well, at least you remembered that." She said.
"I don't know how.." He said softly. "I just recalled it randomly, like.. a light that suddenly flashed after being broken for years.." Steven said in a sort of spiritual tone. Unusual for Steven. It worried Connie at how different he was now. It scared her.
"Y-yeah.." Connie mumbled, as she picked up a book off the shelf, letting the clutter of things fall to the ground.
About a half hour later the device glowed. Steven gazed in awe st the sight of three beautiful girls coming through, one tall with a black Afro and futuristic clothes, a visor on her face and big lips, she was a purple red colored skin and seemed to be the most serious of the group.
A tall woman with light, light blue skin almost white, with the faintest tint of green, she was agile looking, she had a blue sleeveless shirt with a see through part on the top, becoming opaque when it reached her shoulders. She had a gem on her forehead, a pearl to be precise, similar to the one implanted on the door. She had a blue ribbon tied around her waist and a purple star on the front of her sleeveless shirt, she had simple orange pants and ballerina shoes without the ribbons around her ankles too.
The last one was a purple girl, she was big... to say the least, and had a sleeve drooping over one shoulder showing a black undershirt, and pants with star holes cut out around her knees. She had large purple hair that covered one eyes and was the fun one in the group judging by her appearance. The lazy one too.
The three gasped at seeing Steven awake. "Steven your okay!" The tall one with the pearl on her forehead exclaimed. She hugged Steven tightly. Steven stared at the woman with a curious look. He decided not to say anything, it was obvious she cared about him, he didn't want to hurt her the way he did Connie. The woman caught his look and asked, "Is something wrong."
"N-no..." He said quietly.
"Pearl." Connie whispered to Steven.
"No Pearl." He said bit louder. Pearl saw he was lost in thought and something was off.
"Are you sure, you seem to be occupied with something." She said looked at him sternly. Connie nodded at him.
"Well... first of all.. who.. are you all?" He asked a bit shyly. "I-I don't remember anything since I woke up this morning.." He said. Garnet and Amethyst stopped dead in their tracks. Pearl looked at him in horror.
"S-Steven.." Pearl felt a couple tears fall down her cheek.
