21-Let's go! (Russian: Поéхали, Poyekhali!)
The Crystal Gems "rest" in Greg's car wash, which was better said because no one had much encouragement to sleep at that time, except for a tired Steven who remains in his father's van along with Spinel, who for her part destroyed the bubble in which she kept Peridot. The green gem remained motionless for a few hours "Hey, I'm Spinel! Hi!" Spinel greets Lapis, she extends her head outside the van, where Lapis was sitting on the roof.
"I am Lapis" The blue gem sentences simply, but without touching the hand that the pink gem extended quickly "Are you ... a Crystal Gem or something?" Lapis asks a little confused, she didn't know where Spinel came from, she just knew that the pink gem was with the group of gems and the hybrid, and that she had suddenly hugged everyone.
"No, I'm Steven's friend. He told me a little about you" Spinel exclaims with a smile, Lapis for his part looks at her with some indifference "... Could you make fart sounds?" Spinel asks with emotion, imitating the sound of a gas with her mouth, as Lapis had done when she was still trapped in the mirror.
"I'm not in the mood" Lapis responds seriously, she looks at Spinel for a few moments, the pink gem is silent and slowly goes down inside the van, where Steven was still asleep next to her, on the other hand Greg was in the driver's seat and finally Peridot was still in its gem form. Spinel lay down and tried to sleep, although it was complicated because she could hear Pearl's complaints, Amethyst's insults and Sapphire's whining, arguing with each other since Steven was asleep.
******
In the end the pink gem managed to fall asleep, while Greg leads to the barn, with the rest of Crystal Gems mounted on the van, but during the journey something awakens to the duo and attracts the attention of the rest of gems, since Peridot begins to regenerate , although she does not change her physical appearance at all "What happened clods?" Peridot greets simply.
"Peridot!" Steven and Spinel greet getting up with joy to hug the greenish gem, she was a little dismayed.
"What happened while I was gone?" Peridot asks curiously, to which Steven begins to explain the fight against Malachite and how it had developed after Peridot's physical form was destroyed.
"And then we lost Garnet ..." The hybrid regrets remembering and ending the story, a silence forms in the van, on the one hand there were those too sad to speak, and the others had nothing to add, being Spinel and Lapis the main exponents of this, but Peridot on the one hand had to open her mouth.
"Well, honestly seeing them fused all the time made me uncomfortable" Peridot states simply, but then Pearl and Amethyst had to catch Sapphire before the blue gem will jump over the green gem with annoyance, while the other Crystal Gems give Peridot bad looks. The green gem on the other hand remained more firmly in its posture than she normally did with Spinel.
"Well, uh. We're here, hehe" Greg says nervously trying to distract the group to change their spirits, Lapis was confused to see the place but when she saw the rest of the group heading there, she decided to follow them. Greg says goodbye to his son and friends, returning to Beach CIty where he arrived. In the barn Sapphire pushed Ruby away and kept the corrupt gem in a corner, Rubí received caresses as a dog would receive them, although the corrupt red gem was more interested in sleeping.
Pearl and Peridot, on the other hand, returned to the drill to try to recover the lost time, the green gem worked diligently almost without distractions, since Amethyst had removed Steven, Spinel and Lapis, staying at the barn door sitting and watching the horizon "Hey. Where did all this thing of the corruption come from? " Peridot asks curiously towards Pearl, who seemed surprised by that question.
"You do not know?" Pearl surprised question, to which the green gem gave her a look of obvious sarcasm "It was the result of the attack of the Diamonds at the end of our rebellion, Rose managed to avoid the effects ... or so I thought, my hypothesis is that In spite of everything, it is still possible that at least Sapphire, Ruby and I can be affected by corruption due to the remaining radiation on planet Earth or the continuous contact with other corrupt gems over more than 5000 years "Pearl analytically sentences, to Peridot's surprise.
"I had never heard of this phenomenon before, the closest thing that sounds to me are the occasional mistakes in the manufacture of a gem" Peridot exclaims curiously, but quickly she returns to her work in the drill without a word "Ignoring the corruption. We need the exact coordinates of The Cluster" The green gem sentences simply, surprising Pearl and Amethyst.
"What? You don't know where The Cluster is?!" Amethyst heads impacted towards the indifferent Peridot, who explains the situation promptly.
"One thing was to monitor the status of The Cluster with the Kindergarten machinery, another is to know its exact coordinates, which are stored in the main base of the colony" Peridot explains honestly and seriously, surprising Amethyst for this information, but Pearl intervenes.
"Go to the Moon? ... We will have to resort to Leon, our portal in the Moon stopped working some time ago" Pearl exclaims, to which Peridot seemed not to give much importance "Amethyst. Can you go look for Lion ? Peridot and I will refine some details of the drill in the meantime "Pearl orders timidly, then the purple gem accepts leaving the barn as well.
Just outside, Amethyst sees Steven and Spinel play on the grass. The pink gem was on his own head and moving his feet to entertain the hybrid, who was trying to get Lapis into activities with the duo. A small smile forms for Amethyst, but she quickly decides to focus on her mission to find Lion, who would probably be in Beach City.
******
Amethyst quickly arrives in Beach City, she asks one of the humans for the hybrid's pet, but to their annoyance most were interested in talking like a sea monster had appeared out of nowhere and destroyed the lighthouse "How can you be so disinterested ?! A damn kaiju appeared on the coast and destroyed the lighthouse "Ronaldo exclaims quickly showing the purple gem the video of Malachite appearing, although due to the distance the Crystal Gems could not be seen.
"Yes, I don't know what a kaiju is or whatever, but right now I need to know where Lion is" Amethyst sentences with simplicity, to which both Ronaldo and she have to sharpen the ear a little due to the incessant speeches of the mayor Dewey near them.
"Did you ever see Godzilla? Well, a kaiju is basically that" Ronaldo explains, although Amethyst stops him before he delves into the subject to ask again about Lion, Ronaldo concentrates "Yes, I think I saw him near the father of Steven, they went to the containers "The blond sentence, to which Amethyst goes to the place.
The metal door of the place was open, showing the amount of objects that Greg kept in that place "Good scrap Greg" Amethyst exclaims with surprise to see the container and its interior, it was small but still the man had kept many things there. The sudden appearance of the gem alerted Greg.
"Ah!" The terrified human shouts because of the scare "Oh, it's just you Amethyst" Greg calms down when he sees that it was one of the gems, he greets amicably, at that time Greg watched television from a sofa. From under the sofa, Lion pokes his head to see Amethyst.
"Yes ... it's just me" Amethyst sentences calmly walking towards Greg and Lion "I need to take Lion if it doesn't bother you, Pearl and Peridot need the Cluster locations, so he has to take us to the Moon" The purple gem explains, surprising the human but on the other hand the pink animal yawns and leans firmly on the ground, staring defiantly at the gem "Come on friend!" The purple gem complains in frustration.
"Wow Amethyst ... you ... Are you alright? Don't you want to sit down and watch TV a little?" Greg offers surprised by the cry of the purple gem, which in turn looks at the human a few moments, before sitting on the couch "Do you want to talk?" The human asks kindly.
"I don't know what to do, we lost Rose first. And now Garnet! What am I supposed to do ?!" Amethyst spoke as if Greg were her psychologist, the human actually listened attentively to the problems that the purple gem had at that time and even the others she wanted to comment, in a time accumulated for 5000 years, that is a lot of problems.
"Don't be offended Amethyst, but I think ... you can get over it. I'm sure that at some point all of you can find some way to heal Ruby and recover Garnet" Greg exclaims and tries to support the purple gem. Amethyst does not have much hope, even before she left the Kindergarten, Pearl, Garnet and Rose had been fighting corrupt gems for years.
"... I wish that were true. Greg, how did you overcome Rose's loss?" Amethyst asks curiously, the human for a few moments chokes looking for how to express himself.
"It's ... complicated. On the one hand I still remember Rose, I loved her, but, I'm not the type of person who is crying, it's a waste of so much time. Life goes on, I still have Steven, my music, and the car wash "Greg sentences with a hint of joy, surprising the purple gem, but to her misfortune in those moments of clarides she realized that it was already late.
"I ... I stay a few moments and go with Lion" The gem exclaims taking a few minutes to relax on the sofa and watch TV with a smile, Greg does not give much importance to the subject for what he lies down, and Lion It simply warms under the feet of the gem and the human. The animal was also happy to eat the leftovers of food that fell from the food that Greg brought, in the end the Amethyst stay in the container extends a little more than the account.

Lapis sees Steven and Spinel play, in a sense it was little comforting after her prolonged stay at the bottom of the ocean, feeling the grass under her feet, but suddenly the head of the pink gem and her hands stretched towards her, putting the hybrid in front of her "Lapis, I forgot to tell you everything that happened since you were gone" Steven exclaims with his star-shaped pupils.
"Oh, what ... interesting. Would it be the right word?" Lapis asks with a small smile, while Steven explained his adventures, starting with the search for Malachite, going through the adventures with Spinel and Peridot, to end the story with the final fight against Malachite. The version was the same altered version as the one he gave to Pearl and the rest of Crystal Gems, but then at the end of the story, Steven realized something.
To Lapis' little surprise, the energetic Steven had run away in another direction as soon as he finished, but to her surprise he had dragged Spinel with him. At first the curious bluish gem wanted to fly there, but just with the afternoon Sun almost set, a rushed Amethyst almost ran over her with Lion.
"Why did you take so long Amethyst ?!" Pearl complains with annoyance when leaving to see the purple gem, who cannot speak to answer. But at least Steven, Spinel, Peridot, Pearl and Amethyst got around Lion "Sapphire says she doesn't want to go and we can't take Ruby. Do you want to come Lapis?" Pearl asks the blue gem, which in turn denies quickly.
"No, no thanks. I think I'll stay here" Lapis sentenced and flew to the grain silo to sit there, she watches the group from afar.
"Where we go?" Steven asks curiously while Spinel clings to him.
"To the moon, little friend!" Amethyst sentences with emotion, surprising the hybrid by the unexpected journey. Pearl sits back, with Amethyst in the middle, while Steven and Spinel sit in front, clinging to the animal's mane, which starts running to activate a portal "Let's go!" The purple gem exclaims when they cross the portal to the Earth's natural satellite.
