Turquoise, Amethyst, and Steven find Ruby, sitting next to Greg by his van.
"Ruby!"
"Oh boy... So she's all the way out here..." Amethyst says
"After everything Sapphire said, she must be heartbroken." Turquoise says, wiping his mouth
Turquoise, Amethyst, and Steven proceed to walk up to Ruby and Greg.
"Hey guys!" Steven greets
"Steven? How'd you find me?" Ruby asks
"We sensed you...!" Amethyst jokes
"We heard you ordered pizza." Turquoise says nudging Amethyst a little
"Ruby was just telling me about your mom." Greg says
"Oh... Are you okay?" Steven asks
"Well, I fell in love with Rose Quartz, and she fell in love with Mr. Universe. Sure, she never told me she used to be Pink Diamond, but, heh, I never told her I used to be Gregory DeMayo." Greg explains
"So... How are you holding up, Ruby?" Turquoise asks kneels down
"I'm okay!" Ruby holds up a box of pizza to turquoise and Steven."Want a slice?"
"Uh... Thank you..." Steven takes a pizza slice, Turquoise does the same."Wait, really? You seemed so sad before."
"Yeah, but me and I talked it out. I'm fine now." Ruby explains
"Are you sure?" Turquoise asks
Amethyst takes Steven's pizza slice off his hand.
"Yeah. Sapphire was kinda right about everything. We really did stay Garnet because Rose told us to be her... Uh...'answer'. It's my first time thinking about it... It's my first time really thinking about... me!" Ruby explains
"What do you mean?" Steven asks
"Back when I emerged, the first thing I did was get crammed together with a bunch of other Rubies! Then... I was with Sapphire all the time. I was always checking in on someone. But now... I can go wherever the wind takes me!" Ruby grabs three pizza slices and three comic books in each hand. "I'm up here, eating pizza, reading comics! I don't know if Sapphire wants to read comics. I don't have to know!" Ruby throws the items on the ground and somersaults onto the roof of the Greg's van. "The rest of my life could be like this! I don't have to be Garnet... I can be on my own!"
"Sure!" Greg says
"You sure about this?" Turquoise looks at Ruby slightly worried
"I guess."
Steven shocked. "Whhhaaaaat?! B-But you guys love each other! You're my favourite couple! You're - You're like sugar and flour, I- I love eating them separately, but I still want cake! I'm sure Sapphire would want -"
Ruby halts Steven. "I'm not fussed about what Sapphire wants! I've seen my own future now. And it's nothin' but Ruby!"
Steven silently starts freaking out.
