This one is going to be totally about Steven and Rose and the next will where everyone else hears about Steven. This is going to be a lighter chapter so we can take a break from all the emotion.

"Can we go talk, Mom?"

Rose smiled as Steven led her over to the wall so they could sit down.

"Steven, How are things going with you and the crystal gems?"

"Things are going great! Everyone is really happy but they still miss you."

"They do?"

"Yeah! We all miss you so much."

She was glad that the gems missed her that much and she though about how much she missed them to.

"How is Pearl dealing with it?"

"She sometimes replaces me with you but she eventually gets out of it."

"Really?!"

"Yeah, she was training my friend to sword fight and she was training her to do what she did for you during the war."

Rose was silent for a second thinking about it.

"A human Friend.?"

"Yes."

"Can you tell me about her?"

"Yeah! Her name is Connie we met when I trapped us in the bubble after a big rock almost fell on her. I couldn't get us out of it but we finally did and a big monster chased after us then I out smarted it and we became friends.

Rose remembered when this happened but she enjoyed hearing Steven talk. She also saw how Steven really felt about her even though Steven didn't admit it.

"Can you do things that I could do?"

"Yeah I can take out shield really easily now and I can do the bubble anytime I want now. I even have HEALING SPIT but I lost my confidence and I cant do it now."

"Healing spit?" Rose questioned.

"Yeah, instead of healing tears it's healing spit!" Steven excitedly yelled throwing his arms in the air.

Rose giggled when Steven finished explaining his 'healing spit'.

"I don't know how I can help you with it. You might haven't encountered an injury serous enough to do it again, besides yours. When the time comes I'm absolutely positive that you will be able to do it. Wait how did you get so hurt?"

"Well, me and the gems went on a mission to fight a enormous octopus thing with spikes and I only fight when they need me and I usually just watch but I wanted to go back to my room. as I was walking, I heard something and turned around and I saw it's HUGE tentacle coming down on me and one of it's spikes went right though me."

Rose didn't know what to say about that but she didn't feel good about it. Steven saw the look in her eyes like he gets when he feels scared and afraid, nervous and worried all at the same time.

"But im ok now I just needed to rest some."

Rose smiled and said "Well i'm glad your ok now."

"Oh and speaking of monsters, I tamed a centapeetle! Steven declared.

"Really?! how?"

"Well, I popped it's bubble and I thought it was going to attack me but I got it to trust me but the Garnet , Pearl and Amethyst came in and scared it but I was able to train it with chips and a really mean seagull.

Rose laughed and said. "Wow, I tried to do that for so many years but I was never able to do it. You are so special Steven."

"Thank you." he smiled then for some reason thought about Lion.

"Where did Lion come from?"

"Well,not long before you were born, I knew I wouldn't be there so I brought a gem shard into my room and made Lion with it."

"So that's where lion came from."

"Yes I wanted to have him for you."

"I also saw all the stuff you put in his mane, I also put stuff in him to."

Rose and Steven were happy talking to each other getting to know more about each other. They talked about this and that. Steven told her about Lapis lazuli and when Jasper came for them and how he got them out and how Lapis and Jasper fused into Malachite. She told him about the gem war and how they won. She also told him how they found Amethyst in the kindergarten. He told even told her about the Stevenmelons and about how he met Sardonyx, Sugulite, Opal, Ruby and Sapphire. She told him about when Ruby and Sapphire fist fused and made Garnet. They talked for hours and enjoyed every second of it.

"I miss the earth. I sometimes wish I could go back out and see it all again.

This gave Steven a good idea.

"Then why don't you?"

"Because you should go back out and I don't want to take that away from you."

"I want you to go."

"No. I couldn't."

"Why don't you go for a week or two and then come back here and we can spend some more time together! Besides i'm not leaving this gem till you go out."

"Steven, i'll go I will be back in one week no longer no shorter and Steven, I love you.

Rose knelt down and gave Steven a hug.

"Steven, When I get back I will teach you more about how to control your powers okay."

"Okay, I love you too, Mom.

"I wish you would go instead of me."

Rose gave Steven a kiss on his forehead.

"I'd never want to leave you. You know that right?"

"Yeah I know." Steven happily said.

"I will see you soon."

He saw a pink light and she was gone. Steven was happy to see his mom go back and see everyone again. He was happy to know she would get to live again.
