The firey ball making contact with the wooden bat made everyone jump in their seats excitedly. She made it! She actually made it! Were the only things coursing through the teams minds as they saw Sapphire deflect the ball by freezing the bat over, sending the ball into orbit and running over to the bases.

Well except for Pastel and Aqua. Whilst they were certainly happy about Sapphire making that home run, they were to busy cuddling to actually do anything about it.

"What if we just fused right now?" Aqua stopped her tracing of Pastel's half gem to look up at her. "What would the Rubies do?" Aqua asked.

"What could the Rubies do?" Pastel replied, chuckling lightly. Aqua stood up and place her hands on Pastel's chest with a bright smile.

"So what I'm picking up is you wanna fuse back together?" Aqua leaned in with a smirk. "Maybe...do you want to?" Pastel raised her eyebrow with a small playful smile.

Aqua, very ecstatic, wrapping her arms around Pastel's neck. "Do you even have to ask!?" Aqua pressed her forehead onto Pastels, both of them glowing brightly.

Labradorite blinked before looking over at where Ruby and Sapphire was to see a large fused Ruby, and an unhidden Peridot. She certainly missed alot.

Labradorite walked over to hear the large Ruby say, "Well? Where is Jasper?!" Before anyone could Speak "Neptune!" Steven spoke for them.

The large Ruby stared at Steven long and hard before saying. "Well why didn't you say so?!" Cheerfully and infusing into their five counterparts. Doc counted the five Rubies, Including herself and left with little to no difficulty.

Everyone watched as the Roaming eye left the stratosphere and into the sky. "Man, Rubies are dumb." Amethyst snickered, seemingly forgetting that one of her teammates was simultaneously part of a Ruby. "Not all of them." Garnet responded with a small smile.

The Crystal gems decided to stick around atleast until the end of the day. And by that time, the stars decided to fix a little dilemma and Garnet had called upon Labradorite to take her somewhere.

Labradorite swallowed hard as she stood next to Garnet on the warp pad. This had to be the most nerve wracking time of her life as the Warp pad activated and took them somewhere. Once the light from the Warp pad dissipated, Labradorite could only stare.

A vacant forest, clouded with a thick layer of fog, not letting sun light in and warm the ground before them. Labradorite stepped off the warp pad and took a few steps forward.

There was no sounds. Aside from the rustling of trees and the sound of wind. It seemed like no animals were present.

Labradorite could only murmur a "woah..." As she looked at the landscape. "This is the perfect place to ask." Garnet said, making Labradorite look at her, confused at what she meant. "Pardon, Garnet?" Labradorite said, tilting her head, making Garnet clear her throat.

"I want to try something. Something that can help me see what you see." Garnet said, there she was again. Speaking in rhymes Labradorite couldn't quite understand, so she asked again.

"I'm not sure I know what you mean." Labradorite said, tilting her head. "Labradorite, let's fuse." Garnet said, Labradorite went wide eyed at the offer, her cheeks darkening. "P-pardon?"

"You don't have to if you do not want to." Garnet said, Labradorite immediately cut her off. "I-I want to, I just wasn't expecting it." Labradorite blushed a darker hue of her cheeks.

Garnet nodded and took Labradorite's hands, guiding her into a slow dance. As Labradorite eased into the pace, Garnet picked up her pace, occasionally spinning the blue gem. Both of their gems glowed as Garnet dipped Labradorite and they glowed a bright light, fusing.

Suddenly as they opened their eyes, the forest began to brew with life. The empty sounds of wind began to carry songs of birds with it. The fog began to dissipate and the sun's rays began to warm the grass around them.

They raised their hand, looking at the gloved limb for a minute. Suddenly a bird perched on their hand, they looked at the bird for a moment, their eyes holding a confused glint to them.

The bird looked slightly familiar. The purple bird flew away, making them look up at the bird Whilst it flew. They looked down at the ground...oh... they were tall. The ground was far from their eyes.

Wait. What was their name? They stood,  thinking for a moment before a thought, or a name passed through their head. 'Charoite.'

Charoite smiled, a warmth engulfing her.
Charoite sat down and sighed, bathing in the sun and sounds the the lively forest made. Charoite stayed there until the sun set, to which they promptly unfused.

Garnet landed on her feet, while Labradorite landed on her butt. Garnet landed a hand to Labradorite, how looked down at her.

"I think...I am able to understand you just a little better. Thank you for enlightening me." Garnet said.

Labradorite smiled softly and took Garnets hand. "Thank you for understanding, Garnet." Labradorite smiled, Garnet softly smiled back.

The two fusions returned to the barn as the moon began to rise. "Let's go." Garnet said approaching the Crystal gems.

"Right! We were only waiting on you let's go Steven." Pearl called Steven, who was chatting with Lapis.

"Oh right. See you Lapis!" Lapis smiled and waved Steven good bye as they went to the warp pad. Peridot walked up to Labradorite as the Crystal Gems left via warp pad.

"How'd your meeting with Garnet go? Did you split?" Peridot asked, taking Labradorite's hand into her own.

"I'm fine Madem Peri, Garnet made an effort to understand." Labradorite softly smiled and hugged Peridot. Peridot wrapped her arms around Labradorite in return, both their gems glowing brightly. 

Warmth spread around the form of Dioptase as she hugged herself. 'We probably shouldn't tell Lapis about this...' Dioptase thought, bitting the inside of her cheek.

Dioptase shrugged and formed her wings, flying up to the roof of the barn. The moon glowed brightly as Dioptase bathed in the rays of the full moon, her eyes closed with a sense of  peace. A sense of comfort. Dioptase felt... at home.

[Fun fact!: this is why you haven't had any fusion content recently]
