11-Feather crown
Steven taught Spinel how to make a feather tiara, using the ones that Peridot had brought thanks to her experience with the vultures, which for strange reasons had attacked her, while the green gem cleaned her wounds "Then, you failed with the portal, we'd better go east then "Peridot said quickly, constantly looking up at the sky while she was paranoid about more vulture attacks.
"Let's wait a few moments, I trust that if we help Steven with the memories of his gem he could activate the portal to go to Beach City" Spinel exclaimed raising the human in front of the green gem, Steven then had his crown of feathers and smiled in front of Peridot.
"And can your trust be transformed into facts?" Peridot asked quickly, to which she instinctively recoiled when she noticed Spinel's gaze on top of her, Steven meanwhile shrugged to continue making the pink gem tiara, Spinel was trying to cheer him up. The green gem on the other hand kept itself in a diagonal hole.
Everything seemed relatively calm, until it started raining "What is this ?!" Asked a frightened Spinel, clinging to Steven, who in turn ran to the giant pit of the Kindergarten Beta to prevent the group from getting wet, as well as protecting the crowns of feathers.
"Wait for me!" Peridot implored hurriedly entering, but while Steven dried his clothes a little due to the drops, Peridot watched astonished that hole in which they were.
"What is that?" Spinel asked worried once more, extending her hand to hide it quickly when she noticed the water touching her fingers "Is water falling from the sky?"
"Yes, we humans know it as raining, it happens when ... the clouds are heavily loaded with water, so they release it in the form of raindrops," Steven explains carefully, trying to remember how his father had explained it, but a child was very different from a gem in several aspects, although it did not take away some similarity "Did you never see the rain? I am sure that being outdoors should have made it quite visible" Steven mentioned somewhat dismayed, but Spinel had an explanation.
"The Garden was a gift from White Diamond, its structure is perfect, there can be nothing but Sun there, something like this would be unable to reach The Garden, so I shouldn't have noticed" Spinel Sentence simply " Does Lapis have anything to do with this? "
"No ... well, it could be, but I don't think so. Not while she's busy with Jasper at the bottom of the ocean," Steven replies thoughtfully, to which Spinel for her part is still surprised by the rain, staring at the "show." which gave them nature, which Steven saw next to her while he was about to finish the feather tiara.
"Personally I already saw this "rain" before finding them, there are relatively similar phenomena on other planets but not with water ... Guys! Guess something" Exclaims Peridot surprised, but before his companions spoke, she exclaimed "Here it was created Jasper! " Peridot sentence, in a mixture of awe and some terror.
"In this hole? Wow" Spinel sentences with surprise.
"What is so surprising? That is, yes, it is very large, but it does not seem very different from the rest" Steven mentions with curiosity "By the way, have" mentions Steven giving the finished crown to Spinel, who does not take any time in putting it on
"You can tell a lot about a gem thanks to the rock on which it came out," Spinel explains calmly, but is suddenly interrupted by Peridot.
"Don't you think it's different?! It's a perfect hole, Steven! The molten rock, the laseration, the posture, the tilt axis. There are no mistakes! This explains why Jasper is a living legend" Peridot sentence with deep admiration , surprising the human and the pink gem, who did not understand what Peridot was talking about.
"Wait, it means Jasper belonged to Pink Diamond," Steven thinks suddenly, to which Spinel nods promptly.
"Yes, it also explains why Jasper hates Rose Quartz so much, she was born due to the fight against the rebellion," Spinel exclaims with some surprise, perhaps even with familiarity, being both she and Jasper gems of the same diamond.
"Exactly! They're not as dumb as I thought," exclaims Peridot surprised, to which Steven did not know whether to remain silent or to thank, while Spinel looked angrily at the green gem "It is said that Jasper defeated 80 rebels as soon as she left of her Kindergarten, with her weapon already perfected ... Yes, Steven? " Try to tell Peridot, but suddenly the human raised his hand curiously.
"If Jasper belonged to Pink Diamond, how did she end up with Yellow Diamond?" Steven questions, to which Peridot seems to get even more excited.
"That is another reason why Jasper is a living legend. After the defeat of Pink Diamond and the dismantling of control of Diamonds on Earth and the loss of influence on Mars, the gems of Pink Diamond were found without a leader, on the one hand there were two viable opportunities, to be claimed by a diamond or to swear allegiance to a diamond.Jasper for her part was with her quartz squadron commanding a colossal cruiser, the largest of the former Pink Diamond fleet, being claimed by White Diamond and Blue Diamond, even under threats from the Agates of the ship and other armies of gems.Jasper on the other hand took the cruise by herself and traveled the dangerous asteroid belt between Mars and Homeworld to swear allegiance to Yellow Diamond, bypassing not only the asteroids of the road and criminal groups, but the entire Blue and White fleets stationed in the area with a mixture of stealth, cunning and brute force. Jasper is not as dumb as it may seem "Peridot narrated, to which to her surprise, Steven yawns.
"Sing the story!" Order the smiling human.
"Why do that?" Peridot complains with annoyance "I don't even know what it is to sing!" The green gem sentenced.
"It's a way of making music, my father always makes music when he tells me a story," Steven exclaims with some nostalgia, to which Spinel begins to sing a little melody "Like this!" The animated human says, beginning to accompany the pink gem with a small chant.
"I will not retell Jasper's life" Peridot said quickly, but his companions continued to sing next to each other "I curse you two" The green gem complains. On the other hand, Spinel and Steven continued singing for a few minutes, moments in which Steven's gem shone brightly again, before this the man hurried off to the portal trying to try his luck, Spinel followed him closely, while Peridot stayed in that hole impassively.
When Steven touched the portal I try to activate it, but once again, he failed "I don't understand what happens" Steven finally observed watching the portal "Why do I keep failing? I don't understand, I already recovered my shield and my bubble. Why do I keep being unable to do this, do I have something wrong? " Steven asks discouraged and frustrated, meanwhile Spinel lifts him in her arms.
"There is nothing wrong with you! There is only one part that we are forgetting. We must change the focus" Spinel sentence quickly trying to calm Steven, both thinking in the rain, Steven began to think about Crystal Gems and When he first tried to activate a portal, he was a scared little boy, almost completely alone in the temple and with the Crystal Gems on a mission, he tried to accompany them, but he had always failed until he finally succeeded, he didn't know why what was different ? "We are ... The Crystal Gems! We'll always save the day. And if you think we can't. We'll always find a way. That's why the people of this world believe in ... Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl" Spinel humming with a smile, leaving an open note.
"And Steven!" The human finished, suddenly Steven saw his gem shine again "What do I do now ?!" Steven asked Spinel, he was scared, in the short time they had before the glow of his gem disappeared again.
"You should know. I just want you to know, I believe in you Steven" Spinel said with a smile, for a few moments the human's mind went blank, and Spinel's words echoed through his mind, mainly the change. How much had Steven changed since he began to develop his powers? He had changed since its inception with the Crystal Gems, and had probably changed something since he met Peridot and Spinel, being a feeling of great joy piercing him. The human's eyes began to tear, the brightness of his gem resonated with the brightness of the portal.
"Spinel, I think I can do it!" Steven statement animated, the pink gem is placed in the portal, Spinel then attracts Peridot stretching her arm to place the confused green gem in position when Steven finally activates the portal, allowing the trio to travel along a beam of light heading to Beach City , the destiny that the human had planned.

The trio finally appeared in the house on the beach, empty and with no one in sight, with the exception of Lion watching from the stairs, on which the human jumped "Lion, good to see you!" Steven exclaimed hugging the pink animal, which after the initial surprise began to lick the face of the hybrid.
"So a lion looks like this" Spinel sentenced in surprise trying to reach the animal's hand, but he growls when he sees Peridot and the mysterious gem, so Spinel walks away.
"No Lion, Spinel is my friend and Peridot ... too," Steven exclaims, stopping Lion, who just recovers his place on the stairs, staring at the foreign gems.
"... Your house is very beautiful Steven" Spinel remarks observing the place, stretching all over the house to observe every detail, while Peridot was entangled and stumbled upon the body of the pink gem, and Lion was surprised by what she (Spinel) did.
"Thank you very much" Steven said with a smile, but yawning "We should go find the girls" The human exclaimed quickly, but to his surprise Spinel brought him a glass of tap water "Thank you" Steven thanked with joy, which Spinel corresponded with euphoria, although the human was surprised how quickly Spinel became interested in the tap and began to use it, fortunately she understood the operation of the vessels.
"So the Crystal Clods aren't here ?!" A surprised and furious Peridot complained, to which Spinel and Steven looked at her.
"Well ... they must be somewhere else, if you want you just have to wait," Steven explains simply, to which Spinel nods, Peridot resigns and sits on Steven's couch. While the human drank his water, he and Spinel sat next to Peridot, Steven was wet from the rain and the pink gem gently looked after the crowns of feathers they both had, the crowns had been damaged by the rain but Spinel could not be more happy, she had helped Steven get home "Uh? Oh, they were damaged" Steven wondered touching the crown of feathers on his head after seeing Spinel paying particular attention.
"Do not worry, we can always take Peridot to get more" Spinel jokes taking a little laugh at Steven, although it was not funny for the green gem.
"Don't even think I'll go to that place again so you can get your dumb accessories!" Peridot complained angrily.
"Wouldn't you like one for yourself too?" Steven offered animatedly, but Peridot only saw him with annoyance, without giving him any verbal response, Spinel and Steven decided to stop joking with the vulture encounter with the green gem, however, focusing on talking to each other and trying to save the feather crowns as they could.
The calm however lasted little, when Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl appeared through the portal, tired and with an air of clear sadness over them, about to speak suddenly they realized the trio sitting on the sofa, so Pearl took out her spear "What did you do to my baby ?!"
"A glass of water" Spinel sentenced simply and a little confused, shortly before the Crystal Gems tried to jump on her and Peridot. The feathers had scattered over the house shortly after the sound of a bubble cutting the fight.
