Sorry that this is such a short chapter. I just added it so readers could understand Greg and Lapis' relationship and for a little laugh. Enjoy :)
"Okay, so we're going on a special mission to Earth assigned to us by Yellow Diamond. We're going to try to stop the Cluster, so it doesn't blow up the planet. Oh, and there might be some dangerous rebels down there that might want to kill us. And the best part is that we get to bring Steven along with us!" Lapis exclaimed.
"Wait, what?!" Greg asked extremely petrified.
Greg and Lapis were talking outsise of his van in the human sanctuary. She had been talking to him about the mission all day, but it wasn't until that point that she mentioned Steven was going to be a part of it.
"Oh, it's almost sun-down," Lapis said pointing at the lowering sun. "It's about time for us to go," she said even more excited than before.
"Now, wait a minute. I'm not sure I'm okay with Steven..." Greg was cut off when Lapis spread her icy wings and started to fly off.
"Lapis, I'm serious!" Greg called up trying to get her to come back down.
"See ya later Gregory," Lapis called. She giggled for just a second then quickly flew off.
"Lapis!" Greg yelled in pure frustration.
He just stood there for a second and thought things over. Sure Lapis and Peridot were never the most reliable for protecting Steven, but Jasper would be there. Steven was now thir-teen years old, so he should be given a chance to prove himself. Greg decided Steven should be given the chance he had always desired.
"But Lapis," Greg thought out-loud to himself. "Why did it have to be Lapis?" he sighed.
