Pearl: Garnet, wait! I'm sure those two didn't understand what they are doing...

Garnet:Fan out!

Steven runs and hides behind a rock, panting heavily. You meanwhile, uses you're parkour skills and founding steven hiding under a big rock

Steven: What are we going to do? What's their problem with you? Are you trying to say something?

You: You see steven, i told you there's something up with that mirror that makes them really uncomfortable around them.

You now look at the mirror:

You: Come on, mirror. you can tell us what you really want. Is there something that we can do for you? Are you trapped? Do you want our help?

Mirror: Away from home- Let- Me- Out!

Steven: I don't understand (y/n)!

You now change your expression from worried to being serious.

You: Don't worry, me and steven will let you out of there...

Pearl: Steven!

Steven: Come on! Wewant to help you! What can we do?

Mirror the whirs and projects a scene of you and Steven pulling the gem out of the back of the mirror

Steven turns the mirror to its back and begins tugging on the gem. Unfortunately, steven wasn't strong enough to pull the gem out of the mirror, he gives you the mirror and trys to pull it out. As you are pulling the gem out and steven helping you, water from the sea begins to form the pattern of the mirror around you. After much effort, you and steven manages to pull the gem out, and the mirror shatters. The gem then starts glowing in your hand and levitates in mid-air. It reforms back into its physical, humanoid form and was falling to the ground. You immediately catch her bridal style. And letting her go easily as you fall to the ground.

Steven: Wha...

He runs towards the Gem..

Lapis:(turns to Steven) Thank you... You didn't—

struggles to stand, but you and steven help her up..

Lapis: You two actually talked to me. You helped me! It's Steven and (y/n), right?

Steven*breathes deeply* Mm.

She now looks at you with a sweet smile and you smile back. She now, hugs you and blushed like a tomato. Steven was just happy and shipping you two...

Lapis: I'm Lapis -- Lapis Lazuli. Are you really a Crystal gem?

StevenYeah! But as for (y/n), she isn't one of us yet...

LapisBut you help setting me free.

Steven:But— Wha...

Garnet: STEVEN!!!!!

The Gems approach and summon their weapons. You meanwhile are supporting lapis so that she can stand.

Steven: Wait!

Lapis: You... 

She now raises a huge water-arm out of the ocean...

Lapis: You three knew I was in there, and you didn't do anything. Did you even wonder who I USED TO BE!!

Lapis slams the water-arm onto the Gems, trapping Garnet underneath it and knocking Pearl and Amethyst aside.

Pearl: Steven, run!

Steven: What are you doing?

Lapis: I'm Lapis Lazuli, and you can't keep me trapped here anymore!

Steven: Huh?

Lapis: They're not going to let us leave.

Steven: Leave?

Lapis grabs your arm and parts the ocean in half, creating a path through it.

Lapis: Steven, come with us.

Steven: Where?

Lapis: Home.

Steven: B-b-but... B-but I... Uh...

Lapis: Fine. (y/n) you're coming with me right?

you: ...

Lapis: right?... Please, it's already bad that steven isn't coming with me.. and you?!!

It was now total silence. You and lapis are in front with each other... The ocean is starting to make violent waves and the skies are turning pitch black...

you: Lapis... I can't go with you....

Lapis: What, Why?! Is it because of those crystal rocks?!

you: No...

Lapis: Then why?!

you: Because this is my home....

The waves started to weak a little and the skies are now becoming less black...

Lapis: fine... (dispels the ocean path)

Garnet manages to break free of the water-arm and punches it away. She then charges towards Steven and Lapis.

Lapis: Don't trust them, (y/n) and Steven. Goodbye.

Lapis walks into the ocean, and create a huge wave that knocks Steven and Garnet back away. Pearl and Amethyst rush to their side. And walks near you.

Pearl: Steven! Are you okay?

Steven: Yeah. I'm fine. So, that was another Gem?

Pearl sighs:  Yes.

Amethyst: Dude, are you okay?

You sighs: Im going home....

(The Crystal Gems looks at you as you walked away. Then they gazes out to the ocean for the brief moment.)

Garnet: Steven, you're grounded..
