"Home world was going to kill us, along with you if you tried to stop them," Sapphire responds holding Ruby's hand.
"As much as I didn't like you, Garnet and Sapphire did. So ultimately, I couldn't let you get yourself killed. Garnet wouldn't been shattered," says Ruby.
"Maybe I should've gotten myself killed, just to cause her pain," Jasper lets out.
Sapphire floats up to face Jasper. "Would you really do that, end you existence to cause someone else pain?" Jasper doesn't answer and Sapphire floats back down next to Ruby.
"Garnet loved you, she still does. So fighting you, and bubbling you hurt her a lot. She has other people to care for, she's a leader now, so she has to put their needs before her own, but that doesn't mean she still doesn't think of you," Ruby lets out and Jasper turns to face her. "You're angry and in pain, she's sad and in pain. Nothing can heal either of y'all except each other."
"You've been through a lot and by now I think you've noticed that her contact, albeit through fighting has caused some of that pain to go away. She was always good at taking away your pain," Sapphire says. "She was better at it than me." At her statement, Ruby grabs Sapphire's hand and gives it a gentle squeeze.
"Look, all we're saying is, you can be angry and in pain, but just know, you're not the only one hurting. As much as Garnet leaving hurt you, leaving you hurt Garnet just as much," Ruby says.
Sapphire nods her head before turning to her partner. "We have to go, there's nothing else to say here." Ruby nods and smiles at Sapphire before placing a kiss on her and spinning her around making her giggle. In a flash, there's a bright light and Garnet emerges from it.
Neither Jasper nor Garnet says anything and for a while they even avoid eye contact.
Garnet tries to use future vision to see what's going to happen next but nothing pops up. She's on her own for this matter.
Jasper on the other hand is allowing what Ruby and Sapphire told her to sink in. Though part of her is fighting hard to deny it, another part is just tired of hurting.
"Jasp," Garnet calls out to Jasper snapping her out of her thoughts.
Unaware of her actions, Jasper slams Garnet against the wall with one hand around Garnet's throat.
"Jasp," Garnet calls again while summoning one gauntlet just in case.
Jasper looks into Garnet's shades and then uses her other hand to quickly snatch them away to reveal her eyes.
With no time to react, Garnet watches as Jasper snatches her shades away. Without blinking, Garnet stares into Jasper's eyes for a moment before turning away.
Jasper, in turn snatches her chin to turn her to face her again. "Look at me," Jasper says.
Garnet having lost her stoic-ness attempts to regain it back as she forces her eyes to once again stare into Jasper's orange ones.
Jasper, tired of watching Garnet be calm and collected quickly claims Garnet's lips in a harsh kiss.
Garnet, shocked by the sudden-ness of the kiss allows her gauntlet to dissipate. As if her body is working on its own accord, she feels herself melt into the kiss as Jasper drops her hand from her throat and moves it to her waist, pulling her forward.
In a matter of seconds the kiss turns into one full of pent up passion that's finally been released. Bringing one hand to the back of Jasper's neck, Garnet forces their lips closer together.
Both Garnet and Jasper sigh into the kiss before Garnet pulls away. "They're not going to like this," she lets out.
"I don't care, I'll crush whoever doesn't," Jasper says before pulling Garnet back into the kiss.
"Jasp, I'm serious," Garnet says as she pulls away. "I don't know how I'm going to explain this," she says in between kissing Jasper.
"Let me know how it goes," Jasper says as she starts kissing Garnet's neck.
"I have to go," Garnet starts, "we have go."
Her statement causes Jasper to freeze. Quickly, Jasper pulls back and looks in Garnet's eyes. "They're not going to take it too well that I'm out," she says.
"I know, that's what I've been saying," Garnet says before summoning her shades. "I'll figure something out on the way." She starts walking toward the warp pad and reaches her hand out for Jasper to take.
Jasper doesn't move. "I'm not going," she says.
Garnet steps off the pad and walks toward Jasper. "Why?"
"I won't hurt no one, I promise," Jasper lets out.
"And what about Peridot and Yellow Diamond?" Garnet questions.
"I won't search for Peridot, but I can't guarantee she won't search me out. As far as Yellow Diamond is concerned, Rose, reminded me, that I wouldn't be here without her help."
"So, now you're leaving me?" Garnet lets a tear roll down her face and Jasper moves close to wipe her it away.
"They said you're a leader now and you have to do what's best for your team," Jasper pauses and cups Garnet's face. "I'm not good for the team." Jasper offers a smile to Garnet. "We'll find our way to each other again. Maybe next time it'll be less than 5,000 years. I love you Garnet." Jasper leans in and places a gentle kiss on Garnet's lips.
"I love you too," Garnet says back as she pulls back and steps back on the warp pad.
