Garnet pov

"Mmm Mmm Mmm!"

"What?"

"M mmm-" I push myself up. "My face hurts." Pink lowers her hand, and I gladly take it to stand.

"So, how is a fusion of two different gems even possible? " Pearl asks, blabbering away with theories and plans.

"Slow down Pearl. First, we need to get to Earth." Pink glances out the door. "And we need to get out of here." I nod, unfusing.

Sapphire pov

Fusion is exhilarating. Being Garnet makes me feel powerful.

Right now, the only thing I should be thinking about is not getting caught.

Quartz's run after me, but I am too fast for them. I make it back in front of the Diamond suite with enough time to compose myself.

"Hey, you there! Stop!" I turn to see the two burly Quartz's run over to me, each one grabbing one of my arms and lifting me up.

"Oh dear, I fear I've met my end." I say with little to no emotion. One of the guards scratches her head.

"Aren't you gonna try 'n escape?" She asks, confused. I refuse to let a small smile that my lips.

"What the hell is going on out here?" Jadeite sticks her head out the door.

"Miss Jadeite!" The gems yell, startled. They drop me to the ground, where I play innocent.

"Damn fools! Don't you know who this is? This is Blue Diamond's daughter!" She rubs her temples. "Get out of my sight."

"Yes miss Jadeite!" They run away as fast as possible.

"Moon Goddess kid, you're more trouble than you're worth!" Jadeite complains, picking me up and setting me down inside the suite. "I swear, if this wasn't a job for the Diamonds, I'd already've beaten you senseless." She walks away when the door opens.

"Sapphire?" Aunt Pink stands there, her eyes clouded.

She's going to deliver terrible news.

"Yes?"

"Your mother sent me to fetch you. You're going back to Homeworld."

"Homeworld?" I ask, surprised. I've only been to Homeworld a handful of times, my mother usually stays in her colonies.

"Yes, you are. However, she'll only be stopping by. You're going home after a brief meeting." Home.

Home is a planet which once had a name. After many years of gem occupation it's merely another colony.

"You shouldn't keep your mother waiting. Gather your things." Jadeite commands, her bag already packed.

She's known.

This has been planned.

Rehearsed.

I didn't see it.

It was unlikely.

Then again, everything has been.

"I'm ready."
