Return

My jaw drops as I take a step back. "What?! But Steven, you ARE Steven! What else could you possibly be?!" He looks down at himself. "Steven?" He puts a hand out and he stares at it. "What is...?" He clutches his shirt.

He yanks it out a bit for him to look at it. "A star? Wait." He narrows his eyes. "This looks like...Greg's old shirt." I fold my arms. "Uh, Steven, didn't you learn to respect your elders?"

Welp, there goes another thing Pearl would say. Honestly. Why am I feeling and acting more and more like Pearl every day? This doesn't make sense. Speaking of which, what is up with Steven? And how the heck is he still ALIVE?!

"I never wore this when I..." He looks up at me, raising an eyebrow. "What happened to me?" He looks back down at himself. "I look small...and pudgy...and younger than I remember. Didn't I wear some sort of dress or something?"

He puts his hands on his hips. I raise my eyebrow. "Uh...are you okay, Steven?" Steven growls. "I'M! NOT! STEVEN! I'M ROSE QUARTZ! THE LEADER OF THE CRYSTAL GEM ARMY BACK DURING THE REBELLION WHO GAVE UP HER EXISTENCE JUST TO BE...woah."

He puts his hands on his face. He moves his hands on it. "Hold on a minute. Am I...Steven?" I facepalm. "Okay, Steven, who are you?" Steven contemplates to himself. "I think I'm... Steven." I want to pull my hair out. I want to scream. I yank Steven's hair and he yells in agony.

"Ow Ow Ow! HEY!" He smacks my hand away and he presses his hand on his hair. "No curls? How...I don't get...what happened." He groans as he brings his hands back down. "I was just in the ocean and..." He quickly looks around and then he looks right back at me.

"YOU!" He points a finger at me. "WHAT DID YOU DO?!" I grit my teeth as he jabs his finger into my gem. I back away as Steven glares at me. "I...I don't know."
"YOU DON'T KNOW?! Oh, please tell me my gem is still there!"

He lifts up his shirt and he looks down at his stomache. "Phew. Okay." He breathes in relief and he lets go of his shirt, letting it drop back down over his stomache. He clears his throat. "Amethyst, where's Pearl and Garnet? I need to speak with them immediately.

I clench my teeth, widening my eyes. What do I do? What do I say? Steven doesn't remember what happened and I guess he thinks he's Rose or something? I don't know. But what I should say?

Should I go "Sorry, Rose, I shattered Pearl which caused Garnet to split apart, allowing everything to go into chaos. Plus, I even saved Homeworld Gems and we reformed them. I'm even in a romantic relationship with a Ruby thanks to my actions."? Of course not! That would make her flip!

Wait, maybe I can fix all of this! I just need to bring back Garnet somehow...
or I can just leave them as Ruby and Sapphire. She knows them and she would understand. Unless, they blurt out what actually happened. Ruby wants my neck. She'll blow it for sure!

But besides that, Pearl will be my biggest issue. I gulp. Luckily, there is another Pearl around. Yellow. She'll be much more willing to help me out. But that is only if...if...I can't. I can't do that to her! But...what other choice do I have?

If that really is Rose's concious in Steven's body, then that could only spell doomsday for me. And everyone else. Oh, what do I do? Steven taps his sandal on the sand. "Amethyst?!" I grit my teeth for a moment before I finally speak.

"They're at the barn! Pearl is away, but Ruby and Sapphire-!"
"Ruby and Sapphire? Those two would never split apart. That is...unless something really bad happened." My face starts sweating. Man, I want to fight him but...I can't do it. Not again.

"They had a big argument over... something. They wouldn't talk to me about it."
"Aha. Okay then. Can I at least talk to Ruby and Sapphire?"
"Well of course you can! They would be more than happy to see you!"

I try to give him my best smile. "Okay then, lead on, Amethyst. Take me to this...barn you speak of."
"Yes, Steven." She groans. "I'm not Steven, Amethyst. I'm Rose."
"In Steven's body. I can't tell you two apart."

"Hmm...Amethyst, I don't remember you wearing that hideous uniform. Didn't you wear some cute dress or something?"
"Uh...rushed regeneration." He starts walking away, rolling his eyes. "Let's go, Amethyst." I rush after him.
