I'm sorry you had to wait so long for this chapter. I have not been able to write and I have been trying to catch up with writing this weekend.

"I love you, Steven." Rose smiled.

She picked up her sword and brought out her shield. She felt better now and could now do what she needed to do, search for Peridot. The place was in shambles like it always had been, but it seemed to be getting worse. Darkness moved around every corner and the slightest noise would cause an avalanche of sound. She carefully walked though the abandoned kindergarten.

She then heard an unfamiliar voice." This is Peridot... with another probably useless transmission to Yellow Diamond, I'm still stuck here on this useless mound of human and stupid gem clods..." She kicked a rock an her calm voice grew into desperation." Pleeaase SEND HELP!" She then started to cry as she turned off the transmission video.

"Why cant I get off this stinkin' planet!" she spoke again with anger

The other gems heard he but thought it was something else because this place had a way for twisting voices and bending sound to it's will but Rose was close by and knew this was a voice she had never heard before.

"Peridot!" She calmly said jumping out from behind a wall.

"Get away!" She said as she got ready for her get away.

"PERIDOT'S HERE!" Rose yelled calling everyone else.

" The others..." Peridot said bout to go until Rose's shield caught her eye."The Steven?" She held her hand in the air.

"I'm Rose Quartz." Rose said lunging at Peridot who quickly hopped away hiding.

"Rose Quartz? Yellow Diamond has told stories about you."

Rose listened to where the voice was coming from but the echoes made it hard.

"She said that you used to be her right hand gem, her most trusted alibi. Is that true?" (yes I believe Rose was second in command to Yellow.)

"Yes?" she said hesitating alittle bit.

" She said it was the worst thing she had ever been though when you left for this hunk of garbage, earth." She almost spat when she said earth." The one rhing I cant understand is why would you go against Yellow Diamond? You had such a good life there. I would have stayed."

" It was unfair to them who lived here already." Rose turned around to see Peridot slowly flying higher and higher.

Rose ran and tried to hit her with her sword but was not able to hit her since Peridot got too high.

"Hahaha! I keep outsmarting you every time!" She gloated

Garnet, Pearl, Amethyst and Lapis finally showed up to only see where Peridot had been.

"Where were you?" Rose wondered.

"This place is like a maze!" Lapis said

"Yes, a maze." Garnet said backing up Lapis.

"Not to me!" Amethyst boasted who got a skeptic look from her team mates. "Fine! This place is impossible." She mumbled looking away from embarrassment

"I have no excuses." Pearl said holding her spear.

"Well since Peridot has escaped... again, we minas well go home and enjoy the last day with Rose." Garnet said going back to the warp pad.

Pearl was the last to follow. " The last day."

That next morning everyone was in tears as Rose held her sword ready to leave but she needed to say a few more things before she left for the hopefully last time.

"Why do you have to leave Rose? Why cant you stay?!" Pearl said clinging on to her life long companion.

"Steven needs to be here, not me. My time is done." She said calmly trying to comfort them

"But we haven't even lived one eighth of what we can live!" Pearl tried to barging

"Pearl, this is Steven's life now, not mine."

"But, but."

"No buts, I need you to understand this," Rose bent don't to Pearl's size and stared right into her eyes. " Steven is supposed to be here. I have lived a full long life. Steven is a new life, one that is speacal a new life that will live on for me."

"I don't want you to go."

"I know but I must."

"I know." Pearl finally admitted.

"That's my Pearl." Rose said as she stood allowing everyone to get close to her for the last time.

The hugged while Rose gave her speech. " I'm so proud of all of you all. I cant thank you all enough for being what I couldn't to Steven. Keep playing you music and be joyful. be the parent I cant be for Steven and always be there for him no matter what." Rose joked as she gave him their last kiss. " Garnet, Ruby, Sapphire," Rose took off Garnets shades reveling three different colored eyes that were all crying. " Keep leading them and keeping them safe and make sure they all have love, because we all need it, don't we." She kissed Garnet on he forhead. "Amethyst, be the unique and wonderfull gem that I know you by, that we all know you by. Always be that way and NEVER feel like you are nothing." they hugged and after they hugged Rose gave her a kiss on the cheek. "And Pearl, my Pearl, keep being the strength, kindness and brains that I have always known and loved about you. You can do more than what you think you can. You can choose who you are not me and not anyone else in this room." As Pearl and Rose hugged Pearl clung to every second not ready to let go. " When I go I don't want to see you cry when you think of me. I want to see you smile when you think of me. Think of the good times, think of the times we shared together, Our victories, our songs, our freedoms, and our pasts. I don't want anyone to feel like there past, like they are alone, like they have to wrap their life around someone else's or to feel abandoned, I will always be near, I will always be watching. I love you all."

They hugged for the last time until Rose told them to turn around so she could go back. They all sobbed and no one could hardly bare this again but they had to. They saw the shadow and then heard the poof and all they saw on the floor was a pink gem laying there.

"The gem that took care of Rose, then of Steven, now of both." Greg said as they gathered around it and sobbed until they couldn't cry any longer.

Steven saw a flash of light and saw the big curls flowing down from her head and a long white dress that looked like white petals. Steven stood up and watched a Rose slowly floated to the ground. Steven smiled with one of the biggest smiles he ever had had, Rose smiled as big as she could as she saw her wonderful son once again. As soon as Rose was on the ground they ran to eachother as fast as they could. Rose bent down and held him close not letting go and Steven grabbed on enjoying his mothers arms. Rose tuned to his cheek and gave him motherly kisses as he giggled with joy.

"I love you, Steven."

" I love you too, Mom."

"I missed you."

"and I couldn't wait to see you again."

"I know son, I know."

they both cried with joy as they were together again. Steven felt even happier after he heard her call him son.
