The sun sets on the barn as Jasper sits on the small hill I once sat on. The hill that WE sat on. Pearl, Garnet and myself. It was during a time of peace and love on the planet Earth.

I walk up to Jasper and I sit down next to her. "So, how are you doing?" Jasper sighs. "Are you okay?" I try to reassure her with a smile. Jasper just stares at the sunset, appearing to not notice my presence.

However, since I'm right next to her, she has to have noticed me. And why isn't she talking to ME? I just saved her from the pendulum of fate and this is how she repays me?

I punch her in the side. She then looks to her right to see me. She glares and clenches her fists in response. "What did you do that for, runt?!"
"Jasper, I'm trying to talk to you."

Jasper then shrugs and looks back on the sunset. I can feel a light breeze brush against us as our hair sways together in unison. "Why are you so upset? Shouldn't you be happy that you're here?"

"You don't get it, Amethyst."
"Don't get what?"
"The reason why I'm so upset right now. Have you forgotten what I've even done to you guys?" I look down. I get it now.

"I don't deserve any of this. I hurt all of you. I abused Peridot, I fused with Lapis and I strangled her and fought with her for months in the bottom of the ocean as Malachite."

"So? That was in the past. Why can't you learn to let go of that now?" Jasper chuckles sarcastically. "Like you are doing that yourself?" I glare at her. "I'm trying, Jasper."

"Well it looks like you aren't trying enough, Amethyst. I heard about what happened to you the previous night. Trying to shatter yourself all because you loved someone who gave you nothing more than affection."

I growl and I abruptly stand up. "It wasn't just affection, Jasper! She cared about me!"
"That's right, runt! She cared about you and nothing more! She never loved you. She's always hated you! No matter what."

"Who are you referring to, Jasper?" "What couldn't be more obvious than the shattered, defective Pearl!" I lunge into Jasper and I try to punch her in the nose. She throws me off and we stay like that for a moment.

I breathe in choked sobs. I tear up as I remember Pearl once more, wishing that I have never shattered her. "I'm sorry." Jasper gets up and walks away. I watch Jasper walk back into the barn as nightfall sets in over Beach City.
