Azurite had to admit. Their return to Earth was quite eventful. At first, Steven brought him, Spinel and Jasper back to Little Homeworld, and while the gems weren't suprised to see the both, they all were suprised to see Jasper with them. Everyone except for Garnet, who had as stoic expression as ever. What got his attention when Steven announced that Jasper is going to be staying in Little Homeworld as well were Lapis' and Peridot's expressions. He could easily tell that these two, especially Lapis had some history with her, and it certaintly wasn't a pleasant one.

Then he had went back into the forest to get his ship and took it to the back side of Little Homeworld. For what purpose they made this space to be empty? Maybe they were planning to bring some ships to this planet? Azurite had no idea and didn't care about it. As long as his ship was safe, he was okay with it. 

As for this moment, Steven and the gems walked out of the house which they showed them him, Jasper and Spinel.

Azurite and Jasper both weren't fan of the idea of sharing house with someone, and it actually took some time for them to convice them to stay in the same house.

''I still can't believe that I'm going to be staying on this planet, but there's no way I'm going to share my house with you." Jasper said to Spinel and Azurite.

"Same here. I agreed to his offer to give myself a chance to start a new life on this planet, but he never said to me that I'm going to be roommates with the gems that I barely know." He said. He had nothing against Spinel, he even formed a sympathy towards her after he heard what happened to her, and despise his bad experiences with Jaspers, he didn't know how to feel about his other possible roommate, but living in the same house with the gems he barely know would get him some time to get used to, considering that there were days when he didn't talk with anyone.

"What about you?" Jasper asked.

"I'm okay with it." Spinel responded with a shrug of her shoulders.

"At least you're okay with it." Azurite said, as he walked up to the staircase, and began walking up the stairs, "I'm going to choose my room. You should choose one too."

As he walked up the stairs, and began walked towards one of the room, he could hear that Spinel and Jasper did as he told them to, and went to choose their room as well. This house had four big rooms, but it didn't took Azurite that long to choose one for himself. When Steven and the rest were showing them off this house, one room caught Azurite's attention. It wasn't the biggest one, or the smallest one, it was something in the middle of these two, and he liked that.

"This one is taken!" He shouted to Jasper and Spinel, before shutting the doors behind him. He walked over to the commode and took his... Aleena's machete off his back and gently put in on it. His hand then reached to his back, before taking his hooks off his back, and placing it on the commode next to Aleena's machete. It didn't took that long until his glove joined these two things on the furniture.

He stretched his arms in both sides, before walking over to his new bed. He laid down on it and tried to make himself comfortable. He had to admit that. This bed was very comfortable, and if he was going to sleep on it, which was most likely going to happen sooner or later, because he very enjoyed sleeping, it would be a good sleep. For the next 30 minutes, he just layed on his bed and stared at the ceiling. He even considered if he should call Shi'ra or the Guardians and tell them about what happened today, but he quickly declined that idea.

Then an idea of what he should do came into his mind, which resulted in him finally standing up from his bed. He made his way out of his room, and walked down the stairs towards the exit.

"Hey, Azurite!" He heard Spinel call his name.

"Yes, Spinel?" He asked her.

"Where are you going?" She asked him.

"I'm going to head to my ship. There is a chance that my stay here won't be temporary, but I feel like I should bring my things to my room." Azurite explained.

"Do you need any help?" Spinel offered.

Azurite sighed, but nodded his head, "Sure."

Spinel then turned to Jasper, "Are you coming with us?"

"If he is going to let me see his ship." Jasper replied. Azurite's ship was one of the things on her mind since she saw him land it in Little Homeworld. It looked very old, but at the same time

"Well, I'm going to bring my things from my ship to my room, so yes." Azurite pointed out.

"Then, I'm coming with you." Jasper said, as she joined two of her roommates by the door, before the three of them walked out and headed along the streets of Little Homeworld. Nothing much happened during their walk to his ship, they only got a few looks from the gems that lived there.

A few minutes later, they made it to Azurite's ship, and Jasper stated, as she was looking at it, "It looks old." .

"Because it is old. It was a gift from Azurite's friend." Spinel explained.

"I owe so much to the guy that gave it to me." Azurite added, as the device opened on his hand. He knew that his ship had a button which was opening it, but he barely used it. He always prefered using the device on his hand. The entrance to his ship was lowered itself down on the ground.

"Where is he now?" Jasper asked, as they began walking into Azurite's ship.

"Dead. He passed out of the old age a long time ago." Azurite explained, as they stopped by his memorial wall, then he pointed at Dragan's photo, "I know that you probably don't care, but this is how he looked like."

Jasper looked at the picture of Dragan and it suprised her a bit to see how this man looked like. He looked exactly like a human from this planet, but the thing that got her attention the most was the fact that Dragan's face was covered with nasty scars.

"I was actually going to ask you if Dragan was a human, because he looked like one." Spinel spoke up.

"He wasn't from this planet. He was born and raised on a planet called Pontropis. People of this planet looked like humans. It is hard to find them now people from this planet now, because when it ran out of resources that kept them alive, they had to abandon their home. Dragan and his friends  were one of the lucky ones." Azurite explained, then he looked to his right where Jasper stood, "I know that you came here only to see my ship, and you may think of me as a defect, but can take those pictures of the wall and take them to our house, if you want to."

It took a moment for Jasper to reply. She sighed, before replying, "Sure."

Azurite nodded his head at her, as Jasper reached her hand and took one of the pictures off the wall, as Spinel and Azurite walked towards Azurite's room, and when they walked into it,  Spinel wasn't actually suprised to see that Azurite didn't had many things inside his room.

"I don't have many things, so we should be very quick with this one." He told her as they split up around the room. The first thing that Spinel took was an old drawing  which she assumed to be drawn by Aleena, and it showed her and Azurite holding hands. 

There was something written under it. It said.

"I love you, Uncle Az :D"

Spinel sighed sadly as she continued to stare at the drawing, knowing what happened to Aleena and her family, as she continued to pick things up from their places. The next thing she took was a device which looked like a camera that humans used to take pictures. This thing also had something written on it.

"A gift from Darnel to Azurite."

This time, a small smile formed on her face once she read what was written there as she proceeded to pick another thing up. After a moment, she was carrying five things, and was done with her part, she glanced over at Azurite, and saw him staring at a very old small figure made of wood.

"Hey, gem friend!" Freddy's voice went through Azurite's head.

"Yes, Freddy?" Azurite asked, turning his attention towards Freddy.

"I made you something." Freddy explained as Azurite walked towards him, wondering what was he going to show him. 

"Freddy. It's nice. I appreciate it, but we just met a few hours ago." Azurite pointed out, confused by the fact that Freddy just gave him this small figure.

"I don't care about it Azurite. We're now fighting off a huge horde of the undead in this forest, and anyone who helps me fight off a horde of the undead is a brother to me." Freddy explained with a wave of his hand, as Azurite hesitantly took the figure from him.

"...Thank you." Azurite said in a very grateful tone.

Azurite smiled at the memory of Freddy giving him this figure and calling him his brother, even though they barely knew each other, but his smile quickly faded when he remembered that it was an hour before Freddy died and he and Darnel couldn't do nothing but to stare at it.

"Are you alright?" Spinel asked him.

"Yes. I just lost myself in my thoughts." Azurite quickly replied, as she turned to see. She just like her was carrying five things, "I'm done with my part. You?"

"Same." Spinel answered with a nod of her head.

"Then, let's go to Jasper." Azurite said as they both went back to Jasper to see her, but also there was someone else in there, and when he saw them, one thought went through his mind, "How many Nephrites live here?" 

He cleared his throat, causing all of them to look at him, "Jasper. What are they doing here?"

"They said that want to see your ship. They said it'll be quick, so I let them in." Jasper explained.

"Oh." Azurite said in response.

"I'm hope that you won't be angry at us for entering your ship. I used to be a captain of a ship, and it's been a while since I saw someone using a ship that old before, and after seeing it, I can easily that you're taking care of it very well." Nephrite said.

"Thanks. I'm doing what I can to keep it alive." Azurite thanked her for the compliment with a bow of his head, "This ship means a lot to me. There is a very few situations, where I would leave it behind." 

"Let me guess, Thanos is one of them." Spinel guessed with a small shiver at the mention of the guy Azurite told her about as Azurite nodded his head in agreement.

"Thanos?" Jasper asked. She never heard that name before. Nephrite along with two other Nephrites that came here with her seemed to be as curious as she was, "Who is he?"

"Is that The Mad Titan you mentioned when you left Little Homeworld? After you, Spinel and Steven left to Homeworld, I asked Pearl if you explained Steven who he is, because she along with the others, maybe except for Garnet but that's normal with her, seemed pretty disturbed by what Steven just told them, even though they weren't showing it before you left, and all they said that they'll tell us later who he is." Nephrite added. The two other Nephrites nodding their heads at her words.

"...I spoke about him too many times today and I don't want to repeat myself. if you want to know ask Spinel." Azurite told them aftter a moment as quickly walked out of his ship, trying to get to his home.

"Aren't you going to close your ship?" Jasper asked him.

"Spinel knows where the button is! She'll know how to close it!" Azurite responded, as he proceeded to walk away from his ship.

Spinel, Jasper and three Nephrites walked out of Azurite's ship, not long after him. Spinel pressed the same button she used to open it when she arrived to this planet, as she heard Nephrite ask her, "Spinel. You were there when Azurite explained to Steven who The Mad Titain is. Can you explain to us who he is?"

"All I can say about him is that he is a very unpleasant person." Spinel as she turned to Jasper, "Did you saw the picture which is saying "My family"?"

Jasper went through Azurite's photos, until she showed Spinel, and Nephrites the picture of Rin, Karolyn and Aleena, "This one?"

"Yes. He'd be with them now if it wasn't for him." Spinel answered. Her answer wasn't straight forward, but it already gave the other four gems idea of what happened to them, then Spinel looked at Nephrite, "If they told you that they're going tell you later who he is, then you should wait for it. Azurite himself called him a plague."

Nephrite just nodded her at that, as her two comrades shivered a bit at what Spinel just told them. Jasper just stared at them, curious about what she just said.

"Then, I'll wait for them to tell us." Nephrite said with a nod of her head.

Spinel just nodded her head back at her, before they parted ways. Nephrite along with her two comrades went in their own direction as Jasper and Spinel began to make their way towards their new house.

When they returned to their house, they went to Azurite's room and saw him sitting on his bed, with all of the things he took from his ship already placed on some places in his room. Spinel offered him if she should help him in setting down his room, and he accepted her offer. Even Jasper, even though it seemed a bit forced to her agreed to help them.

About thirty minutes later, they were done with setting down his new room, and Spinel let out a chuckle when Jasper left his room, leaving them two alone in there.

"What?" He asked, looking down at Spinel.

"This little tree. He's just so adorable." Spinel said, pointing at the picture of Quill's crew.

"You mean Groot? You're right he is." Azurite agreed with her, a hint of smile appearing on his face, "But he's not that small tree anymore. He is now going through rebellious teenager phase."

"How bad it is?" Spinel wanted to know.

"When I was talking with Gamora through the video chat, Quill suddenly came up to her and told him that Groot kicked him out of his room after he told him to clean it up." Azurite answered.

"Oh." Spinel laughed at it.

"Yeah. I had the same reaction." Azurite told her, as he then looked at his bed, "Spinel? Can you leave? I want to go to sleep."

"Sleep? You know that gems don't have to do that?" Spinel asked him.

"I know, but I just like doing that." Azurite explained.

Spinel nodded her head in understanding as she opened the doors, and walked out of Azurite's room, "Then, I'll see you in a few hours. Goodnight you, Azzie!" she told him, before shutting the doors behind her.

"Yeah. Night to you too." Azurite said before walking towards his new bed. He closed his eyes, and was hoping to fall asleep as fast as he could, to end this very long day, but then something came into into his mind, "Wait... Azzie?"

-----

Yay, Centi made a short appearance!

And, I just realized that all of the chapters I posted so far took place in one day. After the next one, there'll be a small timeskip between chapters (like two or three weeks), before we'll have a huge timeskip (a few months) which will start Infinty War.
