hey thx for staying with me during the first few days of school so thx.

Only Steven saw it...

While Rose and Lapis talked in her room Pearl, Garnet, Amethyst, and Greg were planning something for Rose.

"So I think we could have a banner here and then..." Pearl excitingly spoke pointing out where everything would go.

"That sound great P, but don't you think Rose would like something a little different?" Amethyst lazily interrupted.

"And what were you thinking, Amethyst?" Pearl said aggravated with Amethyst for interrupting her plans.

"Maybe just bake some cake, maybe have a banner and just have some of her favorite foods. Ya know she doesn't get to have that everyday." Amethyst pointed out.

"I agree with Amethyst." Garnet said emotionless.

"Yeah I think Rose would like that too. Oh! and I can get out my old songs we used to listen to together." Greg happily smiled.

"And ya get to have your banner,P!" Amethyst proclaimed.

"Well, fine as long as Rose is happy." Amethyst and the others were surprised Pearl let it go so easily.

"Okay?" Greg skeptically said as Rose's door opened.

Lapis and Rose walked smiling to where the others were. Lapis had been talking about homeward and how different it was to Rose.

Remembering their talk rose greeted her close friends and her beloved husband.

"Hello, everyone, Lapis was telling me about homeworld some."

"Hmmm, from what I heard it sound very different." Pearl said staring at Lapis.

"Yes, tell them what you were telling me Lapis." Rose smiled and softly patted her on the back."

Lapis told them all that had happened and after awhile talking Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl told Rose goodnight then went to their rooms.

"Night, yo." Amethyst said opening to door to her room and disappearing into the mess.

"Night." Garnet calmly said as she calmly left to her room.

"Good night, Rose." Pearl said hugging Rose goodnight.

Rose responded to all their goodnight and waved smiling as they went to their rooms.

"Lapis?"

"yes?"

"where do you want to stay tonight?" Rose asked.

"Would in here be fine?" Lapis questioned after a small silence.

"Yes that will be fine." Rose responded with a smile.

They said goodnight and she walked up stairs to investigate the place, leaving the couple together.

Rose walked to her door and opened it then a gave mysterious look with a smile to Greg. "Do you want to stay in my room tonight?"

Greg blushed at his beautiful wife that was presented with an extraordinary pink light . "That... that would be great." he shyly said

"come on then." Rose urged him to come.

"Okay."

The couple went to the room to enjoy their time together. Since they knew it wouldn't last they enjoyed just being close together again. If only they could but Rose was sure that Steven had to come back out and she wasn't letting anyone or anything get in the way, even time.

The next morning Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl came out of their rooms early to talk about Rose's surprise party. They waited for Greg but he stayed in Rose's room for a while with Rose. Lapis silently joined the group.

"Greg should be up by now with Rose by now." Pearl stared at the door worried for a moment.

"They'll be out soon enough, Pearl. No need to worry." Garnet said leaning on the counter.

"Your right I just don't get to see her often and she says she is going back in a couple of days but I don't want her to go..." Pearl rambled on while Amethyst and Garnet talked.

"It's goin to be hard on her when Rose has to go back." Amethyst said staring at Pearl who kept talking and talking.

"It's going to be hard on all of us but at least we will have Steven back." Garnet pointed out.

Amethyst smiled. "Yeah the little man, who isn't so little anymore."

Garnet slightly smiled thinking about Steven. Lapis smiled as well while listening to them. Pearl stopped talking when a pink light shown from the temple door.

"Rose." Pearl said happily walking toward Rose and pushed Greg out of the way to get to her.

"How..." Pearl tried to get in a few more words but was completely interrupted by Amethyst.

"I want to show you something in town!" Amethyst shouted staring up at the huge gem. She got a mean look from pearl.

"Aslong as it's okay with everyone else." Rose said looking at the others.

Garnet nodded while Pearl politely said off course but this bugged her a little bit, well lets be honest it bugged her a lot . Lapis and Greg said that it was alright with them so Amethyst led Rose out. while everyone started to get things ready

"Where are we going Amethyst?" Rose asked.

"Just come on!" Amethyst said pulling on Rose's hand.

Amethyst led Rose to a small pond with cliffs on the sides and a rock in the middle. The sun shown though the cliffs around the pond.

"This is where the moss lives?"

"Yeah! Ya notice anything different?" Amethyst smiled as Rose stared at the pond.

"There is no moss?" Rose realized there was no moss. "There is no moss!"

"Yeah! Steven took it up there and come on!" Amethyst led Rose farther.

Amethyst and Rose walked up the hill. Rose remembered these walks to the top. She remembered how amazing those flowers looked. She was proud that Steven had experienced the same thing she had. She was proud of her little boy. As the got closer to the top Rose's eyes filled with stars as she saw several flowers on the hill top.

"So this is what you wanted to show me isn't it Amethyst?"

"Yep and a few more things but let's stay here for a few."

Rose smiled as she picked up a flower and put it in Amethyst's hair.

"There." Rose giggled.

Amethyst picked up a lot of them and asked Rose to bend down and close her eyes. Amethyst swiftly put all of the flowers in Rose's hair.

"And done!" Amethyst proclaimed. "Wow!"

"Rose stood up. The center flowers glistened in the sun. Her eyes lit up and the curls just emphasized the flowers.

"How do I look?" Rose jokingly asked.

"Like I said, Wow!" Amethyst yelled emphasizing the wow.

"So where did you want to take me next?" Rose asked as a big scheming smile fell on Amethyst face.

It took them a little bit of time to get to town where Amethyst wanted to go. She made Rose close her eyes again.

"I'll be right back." Amethyst yelled running into a store.

A few minutes later she came back out.

"Okay, open them." Amethyst commanded holding something in her hand.

"What is it?" Rose asked taking a teasing peak.

"Don't look yet!" Amethyst said turning around doing something.

"Here." Amethyst handed her a few photos.

"I've been meaning to get these from here and I thought today was a good day..." she paused for a moment and handed something else to Rose. " It's a camera. I broke the last one."

The laughed for a second before she spoke again. " I thought we might want to take some pics and me, Greg, Garnet Pearl and Steven can look at them and..."

Rose interrupted. " That was a great idea Amethyst."

Rose studied the camera for a moment then figured it out. She took a picture of her and Amethyst. Rose and Amethyst walked around town, the beach, the board walk, and a small park just outside of town while Greg and the other gems set up the party. Time flew by and before they knew it, it was time to go home. Amethyst stalled a few more minutes before they went back. Amethyst also made sure that the walk back home was slow. She saw the temple just up ahead.

"Stay here. I need to go check on something. Don't move!" She ordered.

Rose nodded as she ran off in the opposite way of the temple but then snuck that way.

"Is everything ready." she quickly asked staring at them.

"Yes, we are just finishing a few little details on the cake." Pearl almost bragged.

Pearl liked to bake. She didn't like to eat it but just like to bake it. Amethyst and Steven REALLY liked that about Pearl.

"Okay, I'm gone to get Rose, now." The purple gem ran out the door.

She saw Rose staring out at the water. "Rose! Come on and hurry up!" She yelled

Rose laughed as she heard the same hurry up all day. She ran toward the temple feeling the wind on her face. A few of the flowers fell out of her hair even though a good many had stayed in there all day. As she walked into Steven's room the light were turned off and the blinds were closed. Even though the sun was still shining it was surprisingly dark in the room. She slowly walked into the room. She was suddenly startled by her friends.

"SURPRISE!" The gems and Greg shouted as loudly as they could as the lights turned on.

Rose jumped then laughed after they yelled surprise. Rose could smell freshly baked caked full of different flavors. She saw a colorful banner and heard one of her favorite songs playing. She smiled a big as she could.

"This is Quite a surprise! Thank you." Rose smiled grateful for the wonderful surprise.

"This is your favorite cake, it's full of flavors. I made it for you." Pearl showed it to Rose boasting about her baking skills.

"You did a wonderful job and it smells so... so, amazing!" Rose siffed the air smelling the wonderful smells.

"Although it was my idea to play the music and have some punch that I know you love." Greg pointed out adding something to Pearl's bragging.

"I made and put up the banner." Garnet calmly said looking at the banner.

"Great job Garnet, you did amazing with it." She said staring at the colorful banner.

"Oh, thank you so much for this such amazing and wonderful and just wow party!" Rose said gathering everyone in her arms hugging them until Amethyst spoke.

"Why don't we take a picture?" she asked hearing everyone's approval.

She sat the camera on the coffee table and set the timer. She then ran to join the picture. "Say cheese!" Greg said

Everyone dragged on the word while smiling as the camera took the picture.
