Y/n lifted their head slowly and looked around the dark temple, a blanket was draped over them and a pillow was behind their head. Y/n lifted their phone out of their pocket and panicked a bit when they noticed that it was 2 AM. Y/n moved the blanket off their body, stood up, and began to head for the door.
"Yo, where you heading off to?" Amethyst asked in a quiet voice, making sure not to wake up Steven
"Home, I guess. I should probably shower and you know, stuff like that," Y/n told
"Nah, come on. You can stay here, it's fine," Amethyst assured, "We got one of those shower things,"
"I'd need a new set of clothes too," Y/n said, "I'd have to go home for that,"
"Right, right," Amethyst said, "You can do all of that in the morning, just go back to sleep,"
"I... uh," Y/n murmured, not sure how to proceed
"Or if you're not tired we could do somethin', I dunno," Amethyst said as she leaned on the kitchen counter
"You have something in mind?" Y/n asked
"Wanna go somewhere cool?" Amethyst asked, a smirk on her face
"Do I?" Y/n laughed, "If you're saying it's cool, then let's go!"
"That's what I like to hear," Amethyst chuckled as she led Y/n over to the warp, "Ready?"
"Where are we going?" Y/n asked as Amethyst started the warp, neither of them seeing the door of the temple opening as they shot way
"Mask Island!" Amethyst told
"That means... nothing to me," Y/n laughed a bit
"You'll love it! It's great there!" Amethyst chuckled as they finished the warp, landing on the island's warp pad
"Whoa, this place is definitely cool," Y/n said as they looked around
"You haven't even seen the rest of it," Amethyst laughed, "Come on! Follow me,"
"Alright, I'm coming," Y/n said, "Is it safe here,"
"I think so," Amethyst said, "If it's not I think we can both handle ourselves fine,"
"I guess so," Y/n nodded
"Speaking of that, good job on the mission," Amethyst complimented, "How'd you even see those traps?"
"I just... saw them," Y/n shrugged
"Well, you've got sharp eyes," Amethyst laughed, "And your reflexes too! And the tough skin, it's like you were made for Gem fighting,"
"You'd think so," Y/n chuckled, "I guess I just made it to the right place,"
"And we were here at the right time to see ya," Amethyst added
"That too," Y/n smiled
"Did anyone ever tell you about Rose?" Amethyst asked
"Quarts?" Y/n added unintentionally, "Uh... Kind of, Steven didn't go too much into detail besides that... his gem was his mom's,"
"Huh, she used to be one of us, a Crystal Gem, I mean," Amethyst said, "She was great,"
"So, I've heard," Y/n nodded, knowing the Gem's kindness first hand
"I think she'd like you," Amethyst said, "She liked all humans,"
"That's not something you hear everyday," Y/n stated
