Lars sat in the captain's chair of the Sun Incinerator, furrowing his brow, trying to do the math in his head, he wasn't sure if the fuel they had stolen was enough to get back to earth, and he didn't want to get stranded again, especially with Emerald on his tail.

"So, who are you?" Lars mumbled, glancing at the new gem. She removed her hood, revealing two turquoise horns that protruded from her head and averted her eyes.

"Jasper." She muttered, seeming full of disdain for her own name. The Rutiles bolted upright and ran toward her, their eyes gleaming with awe.

"The Jasper?!" The twins hesitated, wanting to touch her, but the gem took a step back, confused by their excitement. She wasn't expecting them to be so excited to see her, like this.

"You're a legend! You were the earth quartz that could!", "everyone said you were big, but you're huge!" The twins walked around her, marveling at the gem that stood before them.

"Guys, I don't think she wants you hanging all over her, look at her, she could crush you." Rhodonite squealed in concern, shifting her feet nervously as she thought about how unbecoming she might be in front of the gem.

Jasper stared at the off colors, unable to understand what made her so interesting to them, she kind of wanted to punch them just to make them leave her alone.

"It's nice to meet you, Jasper." Lars interjected, giving her a finger gun hello, he turned toward the Rutiles, "can you check to see if we can make it to earth?"

The twins nodded and shuffled to their chair, glancing back in awe at their new crewmate.
Jasper leaned on Lars's chair and glanced at the pink boy, he looked familiar, maybe it was because he was pink. He didn't seem to notice her staring at him.

"So, why do you need to get to earth?" Lars questioned, his eyes drifting up at the enormous gem. Jasper turned her head, looking down at the boy, grunting to herself.

"I have business there, it doesn't matter what it is." She replied. The gem glanced at the coordinates Rhodonite was setting and stood up, blaring toward her. "Don't send us there, here, this should be our next stop, we can refuel and I have some friends on this colony."

The gem pushed the fusion out of her seat and set the coordinates she intended to go, then turned to Lars.

"Earth is way too far to warp speed with the fuel we have, but I just set our coordinates to one of the closest colonies to the planet, we can stop there and refuel."

Lars looked up from his thoughts at her words, peeved by her immediate need to take control.

"How do we know to trust you?" He said quizzically. The gem grumbled to herself in anger before answering.

"Because I have friends there and if you're with me, you're fine."
