A/N: This will be the only chapter for the whole of next week because I'm going on holiday! ;) Sorry if this chapter is kinda short, I rushed to get it done because I leave tomorrow.
Lapis was hesitant about going into the house even though the gems said it was ok. She pretty much did save their butts from Jasper and warned them of the homeworld gems coming to earth. Lapis ended up accepting though since Steven kept worrying about her and Peridot was helplessly crying on the couch.
"Are you sure she's gonna be ok?" The blue gem asked.
"I think so.." Steven answered. "I feel kinda bad for her, she's been hurt a lot lately."
"If you say so.. But how did she get like.. This.. Anyway?" Lapis said, gesturing to Peridot who had fallen asleep.
"Well Pearl said Homeworld programmed her to act evil and stuff, but we somehow put her back to normal."
"That would make sense.. They do that to any gems who misbehave or fail a mission."
"They do?" Steven replied, slightly shocked.
"Yes, but only technician gems since they are the only ones who have that option."
"Oh.."
There were a few minutes of silence.
"I don't think I want to go back to Homeworld anymore." Lapis said, staring down at the floorboards
Steven looked back to Peridot. She was still sleeping and her wounds seemed to already be healing up.
"Lapis, is your head still hurting?" He asked. Lapis looked up him. Such kindness was never shown back on Homeworld. In fact hardly anybody had been nice to her besides Steven.
"A little bit.. But I'm fine." She answered, resting her head on her left hand.
Amethyst walked past holding a donut. "I think we should be more worried about where Jasper went."
"Well, she couldn't have gone far at her speed." Pearl answered. "She's fairly vulnerable at this point too."
Garnet walked over to the warp pad.
"I'm going to find Jasper. Nobody is to follow me."
The other gems agreed and in a flash of light she was gone.
The sudden sound of the warp pad activating woke up Peridot. She turned around and looked curiously at Lapis.
"Jas..Jasper got away.." She said disappointedly.
Lapis smiled a little at the young gem.
"Don't worry, we'll get her. Hopefully for real next time."
