Chapter 38: Action Speaks Loud

"I understand," Y/n nodded, "Do you mind if... If I just spend time with you guys before... before they come?"

"We would love that," Pearl assured, "Please, come with me,"

"Thank you," Y/n smiled as they walked with Pearl

"But... Please don't tell Steven he won't be fighting with us, he won't be as understanding as you," Pearl said

"...I won't say anything," Y/n said, "But if he asks, I'm not gonna lie to him,"

"I can agree to that," Pearl sighed as the two walked towards the beach. It was late at night as Y/n strolled into the house to see Amethyst and Steven watching a movie

"Y/n!" Steven cheered as he saw Y/n walk in, "We're watching the Fangs!"

"It's not that great," Amethyst told

"Nah, it's good!" Steven assured, "Come watch it!"

"Sure," Y/n smiled as they climbed the stairs and sat right in between the two, "Fill me in,"

"Alright! So there's this girl who gets saved by this vampire," Steven began to ramble on

"Mhm," Y/n nodded as they shoved their hand into Amethyst's bowl of popcorn

"Steven, your gem!" Pearl gasped as she noticed Steven's gem shining brightly

"Whoa," Steven said as he lifted his shirt, "Y/n, check it out! Y/n?" Steven turned to their side and found Y/n had fallen asleep during the movie

"Dude, Rose's room!" Amethyst told as she ran over to the door opening, "... Guess who's in there...."

"Y/n?" Pearl asked as she walked over with Garnet and Steven

"Y/n," Amethyst nodded, "Think we're gonna have to fight their fears again or something?"

"Let's find out," Garnet said as she walked into the room

"I suppose," Pearl sighed as she went in

"Yo, Y/n! We're here too!" Amethyst called out, but Y/n didn't respond

"Huh?" Steven frowned, "Y/n! Over here!" But Y/n still didn't respond

"They can't hear us," Garnet told, "I think we're just meant to watch now,"

"Watch what, though?" Pearl asked

"...Maybe Rose will tell us," Amethyst said as she watched Rose Quartz approached Y/n

"You heard what Pearl said," Y/n sighed as they talked with Rose Quartz, "It's too dangerous,"

"It is dangerous," Rose Quartz nodded, "But I know it is something you can handle,"

"I couldn't handle it the first time," Y/n told, "I won't be able to handle it the second time,"

"Don't be silly, My little Y/n," Rose Quartz pleaded with a smile, "This is what you've been training for,"

"The training wasn't enough," Y/n told

"Y/n... Oh my Little Y/n... Forgive me for this," Rose Quartz sighed

"For wha-?" Y/n looked to Rose Quartz, but was cut short as she raised her hand and smacked Y/n across the face.

"Mom!" Steven gasped as he watched

"The time is now," Rose Quartz told as she summoned her sword and shield, "The powers bestowed upon you don't work in this world. It is time to end this,"
