"Blue... What are you looking at?" Yellow Diamond asked as she entered Blue Diamond's throne room, she appeared to be looking at pictures on her screen while she cried
"They were so happy together..." Blue Diamond sniffled, "Look at them..." Blue Diamond turned the screen to show a picture of Pink Diamond on the left and a human on the right, pressing their cheeks together. They were both smiling brightly into the camera; Pink Diamond had her hand on the human's right cheek and the human wrapped their arm around her shoulders, "Is this Y/n, Yellow?"
"All those humans look the same to me," Yellow Diamond rolled her eyes, "Pearl, most likely knows. Pearl, is it Y/n?"
"Yes, My Diamond. It is," Yellow Pearl nodded solomoly
"Oh, I don't understand," Blue Diamond said as tears poured from her face, "How... How can a human live for so long...?"
"I don't know, but it does not matter anymore... It-... They are gone," Yellow Diamond reminded, "There is no point of dwelling in the past if it only brings you misery,"
"It's not misery... I... I don't know how to explain," Blue Diamond told, "I... Fell joy through the sadness... and sadness through the joy,"
"I'll leave you to your actions," Yellow Diamond sighed as she turned around to leave, her Pearl following behind before stealing a look at the picture.

Y/n groaned as they opened their eyes, blinking rapidly as their vision returned to them. Y/n looked to their side and saw Steven was gone, "Must've went home," Y/n thought as they sat up and combed their hands through their hair
"You're up," A voice said from the couch, "Steven said you were kind of upset... So, I just wanted to make sure you're okay,"
"Lapis?" Y/n asked as they turned to their side, "Oh, you didn't have to come,"
"I know... But I wanted to," Lapis Lazuli told as she stood up, "Uh... How are you?"
"Better than last night, that's for sure," Y/n told, "But... I've been better, to be honest,"
"Hmm..." Lapis Lazuli glanced up and down Y/n, examining them, "Come on, get dressed. We're gonna go have some fun,"
"How about we just watch some TV instead? Crime Boys? We never watched it like we planned," Y/n suggested
"We can do that later," Lapis Lazuli said as she went over to Y/n and grabbed their hand, "We're gonna got out and see the Earth,"
"You have somewhere in mind?" Y/n asked as they got out of bed with Lapis Lazuli's help
"It's a surprise," Lapis Lazuli smiled
"Heh, alright," Y/n laughed as they went over to their closet and pulled out an outfit, "Turn around real quick,"
"Right," Lapis Lazuli sighed as she turned around, long enough for Y/n to change out of their pajamas and into a pair of comfortable clothes
"Done," Y/n told as they straightened themself out
"Let's go then," Lapis Lazuli said as she turned and faced Y/n
"Just let me lock the window," Y/n said as they went over to their window
"No!" Lapis Lazuli yelped, "I mean... It's fine, you don't have to! Let's just go!"'
"Uh, alright..." Y/n frowned as they slowly walked back to Lapis Lazuli
"Let's go!" Lapis Lazuli smiled as she ran down the stairs with Y/n and pulled them outside, once they were in the open air, Lapis Lazuli scooped Y/n up and began to fly far away at a fast pace
"Alright, this is fine," Y/n mumbled to themself as they closed their eyes
"Don't look down, you'll be okay," Lapis Lazuli assured, "I'm not gonna drop you!"
"Ok... Ok... Ok," Y/n breathed as they slowly opened their eyes and looked around at their surroundings, "Whoa..."
"It's great up here isn't it?" Lapis Lazuli smiled
"Yeah... I guess so," Y/n sighed, "Sorry, I'm still... I dunno,"
"Hmm..." Lapis Lazuli peered around lower, "I've got an idea," Lapis Lazuli told as she swooped down near a mountain landing gently and letting Y/n down
"We're.... at a tree," Y/n said as they looked up and saw the large sycamore tree.
"We're gonna get to the top of it. The human way," Lapis Lazuli told, "Peridot's been telling me a lot about human stuff. Like that whole relationship thing,"
"I can't climb that," Y/n scoffed
"Sure, you can," Lapis Lazuli assured, "I can. It's what I do when I want to have a better feeling of the Earth,"
"Well... You're a gem. I'm a human," Y/n told
"So? It's not called the 'human way' for nothing," Lapis Lazuli said
"I'm pretty sure you just made that up," Y/n laughed
"Steven says if something seems hard, singing a song about it will make it easier," Lapis Lazuli told, "Let's sing a song a you'll be climbing in no time,"
"Steven says a lot of things that aren't necessarily true," Y/n told
"Let's try it out then, prove him and me wrong," Lapis Lazuli said
"I... I don't have a song," Y/n said
"We'll make one then," Lapis Lazuli said, "Peridot and I've been working on music... Even music but with stuff!"
"You mean art?" Y/n asked
"I've been calling it meep morps," Lapis Lazuli told
"Alright," Y/n laughed
"Ready?" Lapis Lazuli asked as she went up to the tree trunk
"I guess," Y/n sighed
"Watch my every step," Lapis Lazuli sang as she began to climb, grabbing onto a branch, "Find a sturdy branch, don't you dare look down. Dig in your heels. Let's see what this tree reveals!"
"Heh, alright," Y/n laughed a bit as they followed behind Lapis Lazuli
"Just a few more feet" Lapis Lazuli told, "We're almost at the top!"
"Watch the robins nest," Y/n warned in a sing-songy voice as they moved up
"Pull your body up 'till you've broken through," Lapis Lazuli smiled as she put out her hand for Y/n to grab, which they did, pulling them up to the top branch, "Let's see if this tree has a view!" Lapis Lazuli said as she pushed a branch out of the way, "At the top, at the top, at the top of the world you're drawing back a curtain. At the top, at the top, at the top of the world there you know for certain! You're alive and you are free, so follow me to the top of the world," Lapis Lazuli made sure Y/n was sat properly on the branch as she put an arm around their shoulder and began to point at all the landmarks around them, "Mountains to the west, an ocean to the east. Storm clouds to the north! Ready to pour! Every sycamore leaves me wanting more and more!"
"At the top, at the top, at the top of the world my head and heart are pounding," Y/n sang
"At the top, at the top, at the top of the world I feel my gem is shining," Lapis Lazuli snorted a laugh as she lightly bumped into Y/n, "I'm alive and I am free so look at me!"
"You gotta see it to believe it," Y/n sighed in relief as they smiled, looking out at the beautiful view of the Earth, mountains breaking through the clouds, snow covering the land
"And believe me I've seen it, the frontier of the upper atmosphere," Lapis Lazuli laughed
"A wonder to behold it," Y/n smiled
"A story yet untold it's up here," Lapis Lazuli sang
"Up here," Y/n echoed
"Up here!" Lapis Lazuli sang back
"Up here!" Y/n and Lapis Lazuli laughed together
"I'll go out on a limb!" Lapis Lazuli said as she stood up from the branch and walked forward, her arms out to balance herself, "Walk a tight rope wire for the highest height! Yes I'll risk it all!"
"Give me a barrel!" Y/n laughed as they stood up carefully and joined Lapis Lazuli on the precarious branch
"Guess who'll find a waterfall!" Lapis Lazuli chuckled as she raised her hand up and brought a ball of water over Y/n's head and little it drizzle down
"At the top, at the top, at the top of the world my head and heart are pounding," Y/n and Lapis Lazuli sang as Y/n approached closer to Lapis Lazuli, "At the top, at the top, at the top of the world I feel my gem is shining! I'm alive and I am free so look at me at the TOP of the world!" Y/n and Lapis Lazuli laughed as she grabbed Y/n into a hug, gently flying them back to the tallest branch
"So, were Steven and I right?" Lapis Lazuli asked
"You were right," Y/n admitted, "This is great,"
"I think so too," Lapis Lazuli laughed as she moved herself so that she sat across from Y/n on the branch
"So, you climb trees often?" Y/n asked with a smirk
"Only sometimes," Lapis Lazuli said, "It's... weird to do it without flying,"
"I bet," Y/n laughed
"Yeah, Peridot was going on about how humans did things menially... So I figured I'd give it a try. I kind of like it,"
"Heh, so you like human things now?" Y/n asked
"I... I think so," Lapis Lazuli laughed, "I mean, I like music, chocolate, Camp Pining Hearts, Crime Boys, holding hands, hugs," Lapis Lazuli smiled as she leaned forward and grabbed Y/n's hands
"Heh, well, I'm glad you like 'em too," Y/n laughed as they bent their head forward, placing their forehead against Lapis Lazuli's forehead
"Peridot was telling me about a few other things," Lapis Lazuli told as she moved her hands out so that they were fully extended like a "t", still holding hands with Y/n.
"Yeah?" Y/n giggled, "What did she tell you about?"
Lapis Lazuli laughed a bit as she moved her head forward and pressed her lips into Y/n's, moving her hands back down to her and Y/n's sides, "That," Lapis Lazuli told as she parted gently, keeping her forehead on Y/n's
"Hmm," Y/n blushed bright red, but trying to maintain their composure still, "W-Well, you're definitely had a better first try than Peridot,"
"Well, when you watch Camp Pining Hearts you have a lot of stuff to study from," Lapis Lazuli said, "Peridot's idea,"
"Sounds it," Y/n laughed as they lifted their head
"Mhm," Lapis Lazuli mumbled as she moved from in front of Y/n to next to them, sitting as tightly as she could on the thick branch, "I'm glad you're feeling better,"
"All it takes is a good friend to remember everything you love about life," Y/n sighed with a smile as they stared off into the bright horizon
"Yeah... You're right about that," Lapis Lazuli smiled, "That's a first, isn't it?"
"Oh shut up," Y/n laughed as they leaned their head on Lapis Lazuli's shoulder
"What happened to your... necklace?" Lapis Lazuli asked
"I got rid of it," Y/n said, "It... Did more harm then it did good,"
"I thought it looked good on you," Lapis Lazuli told
"It's not how it looked... The necklace did stuff... Gem stuff... I- it had me do things I'm not proud of... So I got rid of it," Y/n told sadly
"Oh, I get it," Lapis Lazuli nodded, "...Hypothetical question for you,"
"Hypothetical answer for you," Y/n replied
"If... If somehow you got the chance to live forever, would you?..." Lapis Lazuli asked
"Depends," Y/n said
"On?" Lapis Lazuli asked
"Would I be alone? Or would you spend all of forever with me?" Y/n asked
"We'd share the world together," Lapis Lazuli smiled
"Hmm, I guess then I would," Y/n said
"Really?" Lapis Lazuli asked with an excited tone
"Would I say yes if I didn't mean it?" Y/n laughed, "Why, you have a way for me to live forever?"
"No..." Lapis Lazuli sighed
"Heh, that's all fine," Y/n chuckled, "We've got now and that's all that matters,"
"Yeah, I guess you're right," Lapis Lazuli said
"Wow, I'm right for once," Y/n laughed
"First time for everything," Lapis Lazuli teased as she nudged Y/n a bit too hard
"Whoa!" Y/n called out as they weaned to the left, causing them to slide off the branch. Y/n reached out to grab onto a branch or Lapis Lazuli, but missed both and fell downwards
"Y/n!" Lapis Lazuli yelled out as she jumped off the branch and dove towards Y/n, grabbing onto them before they hit the ground and forming her wings, swooping upwards quickly then landing gently down on her feet. Y/n was clutching onto Lapis Lazuli for dear life, their eyes shut tight.
"Y/n... You're safe now, we're on the ground," Lapis Lazuli told
"Oh thank god," Y/n sighed as they loosened their grip and opened their eyes, "Maybe nudging on a precarious place isn't a good idea, huh?"
"You can say that again," Lapis Lazuli said, "I'm sorry! I really didn't mean it!"
"I know, I know," Y/n assured as they hugged Lapis Lazuli, "Accidents happen,"
"Are you okay?" Lapis Lazuli asked
"I'm all good. You caught me just in time," Y/n told
"Alright. Good... I'm really sorry," Lapis Lazuli said
"It's fine. I'm fine, you're fine. It's all fine," Y/n smiled. A loud bang of thunder interrupted the conversation as the storm cloud from the north came over head, beginning to pour on the two
"Let's get back home," Lapis Lazuli laughed as she tried her best to stop the water from hitting Y/n by forming a water sheet right above their head
-------
"Amethyst! Peridot!" Y/n jumped a bit as they reached the top of their stairs with Lapis Lazuli, "What're you two doing here?"
"Setting up some fun!" Amethyst chuckled as she threw Y/n a party sized bag of chaaaps
"Steven and Amethyst informed Lazuli and I that you were upset so we brought it upon ourselves to organizes activities to make you feel... better, I guess would be the proper word," Peridot informed
"Aw, you didn't have to," Y/n told
"We didn't? Then I'll just take this back," Amethyst said as she grabbed the bag of chaaaps from Y/n, "'Course we didn't have to, but we wanted to!" Amethyst laughed as she tossed the bag back to Y/n
"Heh, thanks," Y/n blushed a bit as they clutched the bag, "Were you in on this?" Y/n asked as they leaned to look at Lapis Lazuli
"Maybe a little," Lapis Lazuli smiled
"Aw, thanks you guys," Y/n laughed as they looked around the room filled with pillows and blankets, as well as ice cream and other sweet foods
"Amethyst was in charge of the sustenance," Peridot told, "I was in charge of constructing the room to be as comfortable as possible and bring the prerecorded entertainment,"
"And my job was to get you out of the room till they were ready," Lapis Lazuli told
"Jeez, this was really coordinated... You guys really did this for me?" Y/n asked
"We definitely didn't do it for the fry dude," Amethyst said, "And you're the only person who stays up here... So yeah, this is for you! You like it?"
"Love it," Y/n smiled
"Aha! Success!" Peridot exclaimed as she pumped her arms into the air
"Not success yet, we still actually have to do the stuff we planned," Amethyst reminded
"Heh, I mean. Just knowing you guys set this all up already puts me in a good mood," Y/n laughed as they walked over to their rearranged bed. Pillows lined the wall it was pressed up against and several comforters were stacked on the mattress, "Are these Steven's blankets?"
"Yeah, I took a few," Amethyst told as she hopped onto the bed, "Comfy, ain't it?"
Y/n jumped onto the bed next to Amethyst and wiggled around, trying to find their preferred spot, once they found it, they leaned back and smiled, "Yeah, it's pretty comfy,"
"Of course it is, I did design this structure," Peridot told as she climbed up the bed and crawled her way into Y/n's lap
"Great job, Peri," Y/n laughed as they handed off the bag of chaaaps to Amethyst
"Uh, how do I..." Lapis Lazuli frowned as she looked at the TV and began to poke at it
"Ooh, I got it!" Peridot told before Y/n could respond. She jumped out of Y/n's lap and onto the floor, scurrying towards the TV and pressing the ON button, springing the TV to life, then putting in a DVD into the player and starting it, "As you can see. I have mastered this primitive human technology,"
"Bravo," Y/n laughed as Peridot ran back to her previous position in Y/n's lap, "What're we watching?"
"Crime Boys," Lapis Lazuli told as she sat down next to Y/n on the bed, "We're starting from the beginning,"
"Alright, time to start the marathon," Y/n laughed as they ripped open the bag of chaaaps
"My name is Jordan Y/n Black. I live at 308 Negra Aroya Lane, Albuquerque, New Mexico, 87104. To all law enforcement entities, this is not an admission of guilt. I am speaking to my family now," The TV played out the first clip of the episode
"Hey, that's my name," Y/n laughed at the middle name
"Yeah, they're like you too," Lapis Lazuli said, "I think I told you about that,"
"Yeah, I remember you saying something 'bout it," Y/n said
"Shh, just watch!" Peridot demanded
"Alright, alright," Y/n smiled as they leaned back and continued watching the show. A few minutes had passed when Y/n began to look at the Gems next to them, blushing red and chuckling a bit as they came to a sudden realization
"What's so funny?" Amethyst asked
"Nothing," Y/n giggled
"It's something," Amethyst laughed, "Come on, spill it,"
"Heh, everyone who's ever kissed me is in this room right now," Y/n told
"And Lapis," Amethyst nudged
"No, she's part of the club now," Y/n smirked
"Mhm," Lapis Lazuli nodded casually, keeping her eyes glued to the TV
"Yooooooo!" Amethyst laughed loudly as she leaned over Y/n and stuck her hand out, "Gimme five, Lazuli!"
"Five?" Lapis Lazuli frowned as she lifted her hand
"This," Amethyst said as she grabbed Lapis Lazuli by the wrist and brought it against her own
"Oh," Lapis Lazuli laughed a bit as she retracted her hand
"So, how was it Y/n?" Amethyst joked as she elbowed Y/n, "Not better than me, right?"
"Let's not," Y/n chuckled as they turned back to the TV
"I guess you just need a little reminder," Amethyst said as she turned Y/n's face towards her and planted a purposefully sloppy kiss right on Y/n's lips
"Why is my life like this?" Y/n groaned
"'Cause Rose made you strong and puberty made you hot," Amethyst said, "So, who was better?"
"I'm not justifying that question with a response," Y/n told as they wiped their face
"Clearly, I was the best one," Peridot laughed, "And it was my first try!"
"Y/n said mine was better than yours," Lapis Lazuli told
"Wh-What?!" Peridot jumped up, "I demand a redo! I-It was an experiment! I'm more experienced now!"
"Can we just dro- MMM" Y/n began to speak, but was cut off as Peridot grabbed Y/n by the cheeks and kissed Y/n on the lips forcefully
"There! See? I'm clearly much better than Lazuli and Amethyst combined," Peridot said proudly
"Let's just watch the show," Y/n told as they pointed at the show
"Hey, they got a second try. I want my turn," Lapis Lazuli said as she leaned over to Y/n, lightly pinched their chin upwards and gently kissed Y/n, "Now we can go back to the show,"
"You doing alright there? You're lookin' a lil' red," Amethyst chuckled
"I need a drink," Y/n groaned
"Here," Amethyst reached down from the side of the bed and tossed Y/n a can of cola
"Not what I meant, but thanks," Y/n laughed at the unintentional innocence as they cracked open the can
"Wait, this parts really funny. Watch, watch!" Amethyst nudged as she pointed to the TV
"Screw you, Ms. Bogda... Screw you and your eyebrows!" The small child named Jordan shouted at his teacher as he knocked all the crayons, papers, and pencil off the short table, before storming off out of the class room]
"Screw you and your eyebrows... I like that," Y/n chuckled
"See? Told you you'd like this show," Amethyst laughed
-------
"Pearl," Garnet approached the gem with a rock box in hand, "I'm back,"
"Did you find anything at the forge?" Pearl asked as she looked towards Garnet
"It's for you," Garnet said as she handed over the box, "It has your name on it,"
"It... It does?" Pearl frowned as she looked at the box and opened it, "W-W-What? I- I thought tha"
"Y/n threw it into the magma?" Garnet finished, "As did I,"
Pearl marveled at the pink pendant as she lifted it out of the box by a piece of silver string, "That means... Bismuth didn't make the one I gave Y/n... But then who did?"
"Where did you find it?" Garnet asked, "The first necklace,"
"In the... Sky Sanctuary," Pearl told, "You don't think that means..."
"It most likely does," Garnet said, "But the real situation is... Do we hide the necklace from them or do we give it to them?"
"For now... Until Y/n recovers, I believe we should hide it..." Pearl told, "I can keep it in my room,"
"That does seem to be the best course of action... I just wish I could see how Y/n's future... How they'll react to each situation... There's only been one other human who's been able to evade my future vision... and I never even learned their name," Garnet told, "It was... It had to be fourteen years ago. It was a child,"
"...Odd," Pearl sighed, "Do you think that it was... No, that would be too large of a coincidence..."
"Let's keep a close eye on Y/n... Once we decide the time is right, we can give them the necklace... If they want it back that is," Garnet said
"That seems the best course of action..." Pearl nodded
------
"Alright, guys... I'll see you tomorrow, yeah?" Y/n smiled to Peridot, Lapis Lazuli, and Amethyst as they helped arrange the room back into order
"You know it," Amethyst laughed as she leaned on the railing near the stairs
"Yeah, we're gonna show you what we did with the barn! You're gonna love it," Lapis Lazuli assured
"Of course they'll love it, WE did design it," Peridot said, "And we'll show you our moorps!"
"Looking forward to it," Y/n smiled as the three made their way down the steps and out of the fry shop. All three waved to Y/n from the window as they took off in their separate directions.
"They're just too much," Y/n laughed to themself as they grabbed pajamas from their closet and got into them. Y/n walked over to their lamp and turned it off, causing the entire room to be shrouded in darkness, allowing Y/n to comfortably sneak into their bed and close their eyes. Sleep taking over almost immediatly, but was interrupted by the sudden creak of a window and a large thud on the wood floor. Y/n peaked their eyes open to see long messy hair, almost touching the ground, "Amethyst...?" Y/n mumbled. Before they could sit up and turn on their lamp, the figure quickly approached Y/n and wrapped a hand over their mouth
"Do not squirm. Make this easy on the both of us," The raspy voice said, "You are coming with me. And you will stay with me until we get to Homeworld, understood?"
-----------------------
Ooohf, sorry about the late update, like I said. It's been a crazy couple of weeks.
