Dot apologized to the Teen Titans for assuming they would be wacky and crazy based on what she had seen on the cartoons and they were relieved to hear she would never watch that awful show on Cartoon Network ever again. The Titans really connected with their new friends. Raven felt like she and Cherry could become really close, but not too close for their own standards.
Dot found this Beast Boy to be very funny in his own way and realized how obnoxious his cartoon counterpart was, the same with Cyborg, though he was serious most of the time, he could be laid back. Also because Robin didn't have powers, he wasn't a whiny baby about it and was still a good leader for his teammates.
"This has been the most awesome and intense adventure of them all." Atticus smiled.
"Yeah... It really was..." Cherry agreed, still slightly tired.
Raven came to Atticus with her Equestrian book and held it out to him. "This is the book I told you about."
"Cool." Atticus smiled.
"Would you like to borrow it?" Raven offered.
"Yes, please." Atticus smiled.
Raven gave a small nod and handed it over.
"Thanks, Raven." Atticus accepted the book.
"No problem," Raven replied, though not as dry or icy toward him as she would toward almost anyone else she didn't really know. "Keep it as long as you would like."
"I sure will." Atticus smiled.
Hopefully this book could help Atticus with what he knew about Equestria and could build up for more.
Dot was sitting outside and looking around the sights of the Tower on the outside. Lucky was with her to make sure she wouldn't get lost or hurt, but he was sure she would be okay.
"I wish I could be something, Lucky..." Dot said to her dog. "Atticus is a merboy and Wiccan... Mo has powers from nature... Cherry has vampire powers... They all have Equestrian magic..."
"Don't worry, Dot, I'm sure something will come your way." Lucky smiled in reassurance.
Dot smiled and hugged her dog, but then suddenly, the clouds got together. "STORM CLOUDS!" she shrieked in worry.
"Don't worry, young one, these are not storm clouds..." a gentle female voice from the clouds said as they formed into a pink and white woman with huge bouncy and curly hair.
"Who is that?" Lucky asked out of nervousness.
Dot squinted her eyes. "Looks like... Steven Universe's mom..."
"You're right, my dear, my name is Rose." The pink and white woman smiled.
"Rose Quartz?" Lucky asked. "But, you can't be here, you're a cartoon character... Sort of..."
"I'm just as real as you are..." Rose replied, not even fazed that she was communicating with a dog.
Dot and Lucky were very surprised by this happening just as Atticus was when he found out he was going to meet the Teen Titans.
"I know this is a lot to take in, my dear, but you should know that you are a very special little girl." Rose smiled.
"Oh, Mom and Dad tell me that all the time." Dot smiled simply.
"Yes, but you are more special than you think you are..." Rose told her.
"What do you mean?" Dot wondered.
"Look on your right shoulder." Rose said.
Dot looked confused, but she did as the Crystal Gem woman said and looked on her right shoulder and where she saw her birth stone on her right shoulder. "What is that?" she squinted her eyes.
"It's a garnet, dear." Rose told her.
"Garnet..." Dot whispered. "Like Garnet garnet?"
"Perhaps..." Rose gave a small smile. "Have you noticed what Steven has on his stomach area?"
Dot thought about it, then remembered. "A rose quartz!"
"Exactly." Rose smiled.
"But wait, I thought that you and Steven couldn't exist together?" Dot asked.
"We can't," Rose's voice sounded distant. "He exists, but right now, I do not, I am contacting you from the other side, my dear."
"Y-You mean from Heaven?" Dot asked worried.
"Yes, dear, I'm afraid so..." Rose said softly.
"I can't believe that had to happen to you..." Dot frowned.
"I'm sad too, but my child is going to be something incredible in his life and I know he will make me proud," Rose said soothingly. "He'll always have a way to remember me by, my lion is an excellent guardian for him."
"Wait, so you did have a lion?" Dot asked. "Does Pearl know?"
"We're getting to that..." Rose said soothingly.
"I'm also curious," Dot looked to her gemstone again. "Does this mean I'm a Crystal Gem too?"
"Yes, my dear, you are a Crystal Gem too and don't worry, Garnet will still be around." Rose smiled.
"Whoa..." Dot did not see that one coming. "So, Beach City and the Gems are real too..."
"Of course we are, dear..." Rose smiled softly. "It sounds like you have an adventure on your hands yourself."
"Yeah, I gotta tell the others." Dot smiled.
"That is, if she can, right?" Lucky asked Rose.
"You can tell them, my dear," Rose smiled. "Oh, and before I forget, you also have your own weapon and shield."
"I do?" Dot's eyes lit up.
"Close your eyes." Rose requested.
Dot put her hands over her eyes with an excited smile. There was suddenly a colorul glow over Dot and something had changed.
"You can now open them." Rose allowed.
Dot did as she was told as was surprised at what she saw.
"How do you like them?" Rose smiled once she gifted Dot with her new 'toys'.
Dot smiled, she was given a shield that had her birth stone on it and her very own sword.
"This is so amazing!" Dot smiled. "Wait, can I change forms too?"
"Do you mean like a fusion?" Rose asked.
"Could I do that?" Dot asked.
"Well, it depends on your relationship with the one that you're fusing with." Rose said.
"Could I maybe fuse with Lucky?" Dot suggested as a try to see what she could do.
Lucky's eyes widened at that slightly.
"I don't know, no one has ever fused with an animal before." Rose said.
"Hmm..." Dot thought about it. "I wonder..."
"Uh, Dot, I think you should wait until you meet the other Gems first..." Lucky chuckled nervously.
"Oh, fine." Dot pouted.
Lucky breathed in relief.
Rose giggled. "Your dog is quite humorous and charming, my dear."
"Yeah, Lucky's the best doggy ever!" Dot cheered.
"I know." Lucky smiled.
Dot smiled and hugged Lucky, though more gentle than she used to when they first met and she had adopted him after Patch was reunited back with the Fudo family.
"You have a great heart, Dot," Rose smiled admirably toward the little girl. "Never let anyone tell you that you aren't special, because I see a very special little human girl who is more to her than meets the eye."
"What does that mean?" Dot asked then.
"It means you may seem like a normal little girl, but deep down, you are more special and talented, anybody would be fortunate to know you." Lucky replied.
"Thanks." Dot smiled.
"I shall see you in the near future, Dot..." Rose said before her image started to fade with the sky. "It is really nice to meet you... Remember, never stop being who truly are on the inside..."
"Wait, don't go!" Dot frowned. "Please, Ms. Quartz, don't leave!"
"Remember..." Rose said in a whispery tone before fading away and the sky went back to what it once was before.
"She'll always be with us." Lucky said.
"I guess so..." Dot sighed, she was hoping that Rose would stay longer, but she was pleased she got to have that moment.
"Come on, kiddo," Lucky smiled. "Let's get you inside with the others."
"Okay." Dot smiled as she followed her dog inside.
The others continued to have their little party until they would get tired and get ready for bed, having a great time together.
On a mountain top in a city far, far away...
There was a pink lion with strawberry light mane that was sleeping on the mountain, but stood up on all fours and turned his head as the clouds opened up again. The woman known as Rose Quartz came down, not back from the afterlife, but she held out what appeared to be a video tape in her hands and she held out the video to her lion as it said 'FOR STEVEN' on the cover.
The lion nodded, understanding. Rose then seemed to hide the video tape inside of the lion's flowing mane. The lion then patted his paw against his mane and the video tape seemed to melt into it, like it was concealed inside of his fur.
"I'm trusting you to protect him." Rose told the lion.
The lion came to Rose and nuzzled against her.
"I'll miss you too, my lion..." Rose whispered, hugging the lion which matched her color scheme. "Take very good care of him..."
The lion nodded, agreeing to watch over her son.
"Thank you, my lion..." Rose stroked the lion's fluffy mane that matched her skin tone. "You truly are a Gem's best friend."
The lion smiled, nuzzling up to her. Rose hugged her lion back and gently stroked his fur and mane. She then sighed as she felt quite emotional right now. She then waved her hands and took out a black T-Shirt that read 'Mr. Universe' on it and she had tears in her eyes as she then hugged the shirt. The lion nuzzled her again, comforting her. Rose sniffled as she gently held her lion, then decided to place the T-Shirt inside of the lion's mane as well. Now all she had to do was make sure that the lion made sure that Steven found the video tape.
"Good day, my old companion..." Rose told the lion. "Goodbye..." she then waved as she turned all white from a heavenly glow that made her fade away and return into the afterlife.
The lion nodded to Rose and looked up to the clouds as she went back to her new home after her son had been born, and a tear rolled down his face. He then tilted his head back and let out a low roar. After that, he roared, opening a portal before he ran through it and returned to Steven and the Crystal Gems.
