For steven, the trip to the infirmary was unpleasant to say the least. He began to regret his decision of breaking his leg in order to get out of the zoo. At least it worked according to plan. All steven could do was lie on the stretcher. Holly blue agate instructed skinny and sharky to head immediately to the medical wing so he could be patched up and ready to go. This was also his chance to make his escape but he needed some help.

The Jasper and Amethyst were done putting a splint on his leg when steven asked him a really important question.

"Could you guys help me get to earth?"

"What?!" exclaimed both skinny and jasper with shocked faces

"Please! I need to get back home with my family, where I belong."

"Look kid, We can't help you since we would get in humongous trouble."

"PLEASE! I'm begging you. I miss my family and friends. You have to help me."

Skinny and sharky look at steven with sympathetic faces. They too knew what it felt like to be away from your home. They saw their earth kindergarten as their home.

They both sighed and said" alright, we'll help you break out of here."

"Really, oh thank you, thank you, thank you!" exclaimed steven as he hugged sharky.

"Alright kid, less hugs, more moving. Can you walk?"

Steven tried walking but instead brought more pain to his fractured leg.

"Right, okay I'm going to have to carry you without anyone seeing you. Keep quiet, okay?" steven nodded.

Sharky told skinny to run up ahead so they could be told if there were any gems near the docking station. Skinny later told them it was clear.

"Alright let's go"

They began to run towards the station where all the ships were. Steven could easily drive a ruby ship learning from past experiences with one. He was almost home free until…

"Excuse me?!" Skinny turned around and saw holly blue agate with an angered face.

"What are you two doing and where's the human?"

"The human's got patched up and was put back into the zoo."

Holly blue glared at her then turned her attention to sharky.

"You, Amethyst. What do you have in your arms."

"Nothing! Nothing at all."

Holly blue began walking towards them. Steven couldn't believe this, he was so close to getting back to earth and now he was going to be placed in the zoo forever.

Tears began to form until he heard a scream.

"GYAK" said holly blue agate as she looked down and saw a spear below. She poofed and the one holding the spear was none other then blue pearl

"You, Your blue diamond's pearl?"

"Yes"

"Why did you help me?"

"You have a family to get back too" said blue pearl with a smile.

Sharky quickly put steven in the pilot seat and set the ship to auto-pilot.

"Now, I don't wanna see you here again understand steven?"

"Got it but what about holly blue?"

"Don't worry, she'll never reveal what happened at the threat of being shattered for failure."

Skinny and Sharky walked out of the ship and waved goodbye to steven. Steven waved back and started the ship. After a few moments, the ship entered hyperspeed. Soon enough, steven will be with his family in no time. Steven then closed his eyes for a well rested sleep.

Eight hours later

Steven then woke up at the sound of a beeping light. He rubbed his eyes and saw beach city in front of him. He was immediately filled with happiness. He decided to land on the beach where his house was. What he didn't realize was that the gems were watching.

Switching POV

Looking up in the sky, a ruby ship was beginning to land on the beach. Amethyst, Pearl and Garnet quickly got onto the beach with their weapons in hand. They would not let steven's kidnapping be in vain. They would protect earth so they couldn't afford to fall apart.

With the ruby's ship opening, they waited for the worst. What was going to come out was going to give them the shock of a lifetime.

Steven slowly wobbled out with a cane made out of a makeshift pipe. What he saw brought tears to his eyes.

"GUYS!" yelled steven

"STEVEN!" yelled garnet, amethyst and pearl. They quickly ran up to him and hugged him for fear that it was all a dream.

"Garnet, I'm so sorry I didn't listen to you. It's all my fault" cried steven

"No steven! It was my fault you were taken. If I had just told you what would happen, none of this would ever be happen in the first place.

"My baby, your back!" pearl said as she kissed his forehead.

"I was so worried we would never see you again steven. If you were gone, who would I be able to pull pranks with or on?! Said amethyst.

"Don't worry, I'll never leave you guys."

The next chapter will be posted tomorrow and it'll be the ending. This is my first fanfic so it's kinda short. I hope you enjoyed this story anyway.
