I am in the barn. But I am not crying or tearing up. I'm just thinking about everything that has happened. It has been about a week since I fought Holo Pearl in the fields down by the lake. I've caused so many bad things to happen.

However, this is the first time in which I don't feel like hurting myself. Maybe it's because nothing bad has happened to me in a while. Maybe it's because I got rid of the source of my problems.

Or could it be Eyeball herself? The past few days have been the best that I've had in a very long time. It's funny how in the past, I played a baseball game to get rid of this Gem and now I'm in love with her.

Well, we're both in love with each other really. The night I shattered Peridot after having a drink with her. The night in which I heard Eyeball's tragic backstory. The night I nearly died due to the wish of getting killed. It changed everything.

After that night, Eyeball stayed by my side. We didn't let each other go. We kept holding hands one day as if we were fused. But we can't actually do that since I'm technically half-corrupted.

But it was nice. I loved every minute of it. It's weird. It's just really weird. Looking back at how everything came to be, it's funny. I don't know. Maybe things will be alright. I just need to talk to Eyeball and-!

"Amethyst."
"Well just in time-!" My eyes widen as I gasp. "The Ruby ship is gone. Yet everyone is still here. So what happened to the ship?" Ruby approaches me with her arms folded.
I gulp.

"Do you know what happened to the Rubies?"
"THE RUBIES ARE GONE?! THEY TOOK THE SHIP?!" Ruby collapses in front of me. Her voice is muffled in the wood. "Why is this still happening?" I pat her back and she looks up.

She growls and she lashes out at me by swiping her hand against my face. "DON'T TOUCH ME!" She blushes and she covers her face. "Just look at what you've done. Sapphire hates me and you've united our worst enemies with our closest friends and family."

"But they're getting along. What's wrong with that?" Ruby pins me against the wall. "Listen Amethyst, we were the Crystal Gems and now that we're no longer the Crystal Gems, what are we?!"

"Uh...the uh...Barn Mate Gems?" Ruby facepalms, squinting her eyes. "Oh my stars. Amethyst, if we don't get our act together soon, there could be a second Gem War!" I raise my eyebrow. "But it's just us. Why do we need to start another war?"

"We are not going to start another war. This time, Homeworld is coming for us! I mean, you stole Jasper from them along with Peridot who is now shattered and your actions are becoming more and more noticeable to them. They are watching our every move."

"What?"
"Don't you remember anything? Haven't you've heard of the time in which the Diamonds once took over this planet? There could still be some uncharted territory marked by Homeworld that was never discovered by anyone."

"So you mean there could be like other Gems here other than us that are still working with Homeworld to this very day?" Ruby smirks. "Well, it's about time you got that pathetic head of yours to reality."

She gets off of me and she looks outside. "Amethyst, I have one final question for you. This is very important. Did the Rubies have a Diamond Communicator like the one Peridot had with them?" My lips quiver and my eyes look away from her.

My forehead sweats as a nervous chuckle escapes from my mouth. "Heh heh heh. Maybe they did." Ruby is already running away. She doesn't look back at me. I guess my face already gave her the message. I get up from the ground.

"WE ARE GOING TO BE AT WAR AGAIN SOON AND IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!" I fold my arms as I roll my eyes. "Yeah. Okay. This is getting old." I groan. "Oh so help me. If Gem War II comes rolling over here, someone's gonna get it."

I pull out my whip. "But it's not going to be me." I grit my teeth as I stare into the night sky. "It's going to be you, universe." I grip my whip handle tighter as I glare. "I'm going to make you pay for what you did to me...one way or another."
