Lapis arrived on the surface of earth's moon, she stared down at the beautiful planet, ready to return to her home. Hopefully Steven would be there, hopefully she would be able to tell him of Aquamarine's plans.

She leapt from the grey dirt and unfolded her wings, jettisoning herself toward the planet and letting gravity perform majority of the work.

She landed on the sands of Beach City, searching the area for her friends, it was still a mess, the wreckage of Steven's home a decrepit reminder of their failure to protect his planet.
She made her way toward the home, hoping that Peridot or Bismuth were nearby. They weren't.
The house was empty, and water damaged the floor and woodwork, making the panels squeak and leak as she stepped on them.
She sighed.
They didn't get taken too, did they?
She didn't want to believe such a thing. She didn't see them get stolen, but she had been poofed shortly after, her memories could have been unreliable.

No, she couldn't think like that. Despair was far too familiar not to return to but she didn't want to fall into that pit again, to drown in those hellacious waters.

Lapis turned, exiting the home and jumping from the balcony to fly toward New Homeworld. Perhaps they were there?
She landed by the forge, peering inside to see if her colorful friend was working away at the anvil.
No one.

She moved toward her home that she shared with Peridot, surely Peridot would be inside fiddling with some contraption she was making.
Nothing.

Lapis let out a sigh, trying to drive out her consuming worry along with it.
She sat down, slumped against the side of the building. Her friends were stolen from her. It was just like Jasper to pull such a dirty trick.
They were probably being shattered and she had no idea where they were- didn't even think to search for them before she left.
And now.

"Lapis!!" Peridot shrieked as she spotted the blue gem from around the corner. The short gem scurried toward her and scooped her arms around her, squeezing Lapis tightly as tiny tears welled in her eyes.

"You're okay! I was so worried about you! We had to help Steven but then he got attacked by Rubies and he brought us back- how did you get back?!" She ruled, shoving her face into Lapis's chest.
Lapis gently wrapped her arms around Peridot and geld her close for a moment before pushing her back gently.

"I flew- is Steven here?" She recalled her self appointed mission. She needed to tell him about Aquamarine's growing army. Peridot shook her head vigorously,  taken aback by her companions momentary disregard of her feelings.

"He's in space. Going to the Diamonds Kindergarten." She answered confusedly.
Lapis's eyes drifted down to the ground and she angrily slammed her fist into the dirt.

"I have to tell him what Aquamarine has planning- he needs to know."
