A/N: More positive reviews have come in! :D Thanks guys! I also got a question about how old Peridot is now, The answer is she's still her current age from the show, she just looks a lot younger. :)

Steven had agreed not to watch.

Pearl had already summoned her spear and Peridot was currently sitting on the couch with a nervous look. Amethyst had gotten bored and went into her room to pile more junk or something.

Pearl looked kind of nervous too. As much as she didn't want to hurt Peridot again, it was her only chance to regenerate at this point.

"Look on the bright side, you'll be back to normal before you know it" The pale gem said.

"If you say so.. Buht promise I'll be ok?" Peridot asked. Pearl nodded.

"Okay then.." She replied.

Steven was under the covers of his bed. He could hear them talking but didn't dare look. He usually got scared when he saw any of the gems poof.

The green gem crawled over in front of Pearl and closed her eyes.

Pearl's tall figure walked behind Peridot, and held back her spear. A sorry look could be seen on her face as she forced it forward.

A small grunt and stabbing noise could be heard.

Steven came out from his covers to see Pearl at the side of his bed. She handed him a triangular-shaped green gem.

"Take care of her." She said trustingly. Steven smiled and nodded.

It had been at least a week since that day.

Steven had just woken up and was watching "Crying Breakfast Friends!" Until one of the gems arrived.

He had Peridot's gem sitting silently on a pillow next to him.

Amethyst walked through the temple door holding an old bag of popcorn she probably found in her room. She looked kinda tired.

"Good morning Amethyst!" Steven said enthusiastically.

Amethyst replied with a small smile and a wave as she made her way to the couch.

"You look kind of.. Tired.." He said, pausing the TV.

Amethyst sat down. "Garnet had us up all night looking for Lapis and Jasper. We didn't find anything which made it kind of a wasted night."

Steven unpaused the TV and began watching again.

"Peridot hasn't come back either." Steven said, putting his hand over the green stone next to him.

"Last time Pearl poofed she took 2 whole weeks. I'm not surprised Peridot hasn't come back yet." Amethyst yawned. She definitely wasn't joking about looking for Malachite.

"I hope Lapis will be ok.." Steven said to himself. Amethyst obviously didn't hear because she was just sitting there eating her popcorn.

The young boy looked down at Peridot's gem. It would always glow at night as if to allow the gem inside to see him. He smiled at the thought of her coming back. Steven gently pat the gem and lifted his hand back into his lap.

The temple door opened once again. Pearl walked out, She looked tired but not as tired as Amethyst.

"Good morning Steven. Sleep well?" She asked while walking up to him.

"Yeah, but Peridot still hasn't come back. I hope she's ok in there." Steven answered with a worried look on his face.

"I assure you she's fine. The more things we change in our appearance, the longer it takes. She's probably changing a lot from the look of things." Pearl said while kneeling down beside him.

A bright light caught their attention and Steven immediately paused the TV again.

A/N: Longer chapter today :D I just started working on the next chapter so it shouldn't be very far away. Especially because I've got nothing else to do :)
