"Lapis, can we talk?" Garnet asks as she stands a little distance from Peridot and the watergem.

Lapis looks at Peridot before turning and nodding at Garnet. "Sure, I'll be back."

"Peridot, actually let me have a word with you." Garnet hears Jasper say and tries not to stop as she makes her way to the front door.

Lapis looks at Garnet but says nothing as she follows behind her. Garnet gathers herself and once on the porch, she hops to the statue's hand. Lapis calls on her water wings and follows Garnet to the hand.

"Jasper is going to talk to you," Garnet says immediately after her feet touched the hand.

"What? No, I don't want to talk to her," Lapis rushes out.

"Look," Garnet pauses. She really didn't want to be having this conversation but she thought it wise to give Lapis a heads up. "Lapis please," Garnet asks in a resigned tone.

Lapis could hear the resignation in Garnet's voice. Why was she asking this of her?

"Why?"

"We promised; if she talks with you, I have to talk to Peridot," Garnet tries not to add venom to Peridot's name.

Lapis nods her head. Garnet still can't believe she has to talk to Peridot. That little green tech makes trusting Jasper so hard.

"Garnet." Garnet is snapped out of her thoughts by Lapis. "I'll do it."

"Thank you," Garnet says and moves to leap off the hand.

"Garnet, wait," Lapis says and Garnet freezes. "Are you okay?"

Garnet looks past Lapis and over at the sea. "I'm fine. Will you be fine talking to Jasper or would you prefer me there?"

Lapis nods her head. "And Peridot. I want you and Peridot there." Garnet nods her bead and jumps off the hand.

"Amethyst," Garnet calls behind the purple gem.

Amethyst swallows and turns toward the fusion gem. "Sup G?"

"Thank you," Garnet responds.

Amethyst smiles at Garnet slightly. "I just want the Garnet I knew back. If you're on the fritz, who's gone lead the team?"

Garnet raises an eyebrow and nods her head. "So you were just looking out for the good of the team?"

Amethyst chokes on a piece of the food she was guzzling down. "Whaat? No, I-I wasn't-"

"It's okay Amethyst, I'm only kidding," Garnet says cutting Amethyst off and placing a hand on her shoulder.

Amethyst smiles at Garnet and breaths a sigh of relief.

"Look, Ame, I know I can be difficult to talk to. I know I can be scary..." Garnet trails off.

Amethyst waits for Garnet to continue. She knows Garnet has a hard time getting her feelings out and even admitting she is wrong. Jasper must be something if she can get Garnet to open up. Even Rose had trouble getting Garnet to open up.

..

"Garnet," Rose calls from behind the fusion gem by the lighthouse.

"Yes Rose?," Garnet asks without turning around to face the Leader of the Crystal Gems.

Rose takes a step forward but is stopped by a hand tugging non her dress.

Turning around, she squats down to look at the tiny gem that is Amethyst.

"Yes Amethyst?" Rose questions.

"I'm worried about her," Amethyst admits.

"I'll help make sure she's okay. Why don't you go see Pearl," Rose tells the smallest gem.

Amethyst looks past Rose and at Garnet's back before turning to look at Rose. "Can I hug her?"

Rose smiles a soft smile at Amethyst. "Not now, maybe once she comes back in."

Amethyst nods and turns to leave.

"Garnet," Rose calls again and makes her way to the fusion gem. "Talk to me."

"What do you want to know?" Garnet replies.

"How are you?" Rose questions and takes a seat next to the fusion.

"I'm fine."

Rose furrows her brow. "No. How are you?" Rose questions again.

Garnet is quiet for a while. She knows what Rose is asking, she wants to know about herself and Jasper.

"You think we can work past this?" Garnet finally let's out.

"Oh Garnet." Rose places a hand on Garnet's knee.

"I saw her during the war. The anger, the hurt and the hatred. I could feel it radiating off her. It hurt to look at her, so I didn't."

"Garnet," Rose trails off. She honestly didn't know what to tell the fusion gem. "I'm sorry."

"So am I," Garnet responds.

..

"Never be afraid to tell me how you feel," Garnet finally finds the words to tell Amethyst.

"I've missed this you," Amethyst finishes swallowing her food and smiles at Garnet.

"Yeah, we'll, I guess I missed you too." Garnet ruffles Amethyst's mane before said gem turns into a cat and begins purring. Soon enough, cat Amethyst is wrapped in Garnet's arms.

"What's going on?" Jasper asks as she and Peridot walk in to spot Garnet holding and petting Amethyst.

"Amethyst and I were just having a talk," Garnets says as she walks to give Jasper a kiss on the lips before heading over to the couch.

Jasper squints her eyes at Amethyst as she purrs at Garnet's touch.
