22-It could've been great

The Moon was the farthest humanity had come, but in this case Lion was probably the first cat to step on the Moon, while the gems and the hybrid rode on it. The group appears directly inside the moon base, the structure seemed to have no stairs but had very detailed murals on its walls. But Steven cared more about the state of Lion "You won the naps of the week" The hybrid exclaims and hugs the head of the tired animal.

"Hey, come over here! There is a door" Amethyst mentions excited to see the only visible door, but when she approaches and opens that door, the empty space almost swallows the purple gem "Yes, we are on the Moon "She sentences even with some joy.

"Amethyst, don't throw us into space!" Pearl complains with annoyance when she sees the irresponsibility of her partner, but suddenly the thin gem, Amethyst and Spinel noticed what the hybrid was doing, which jumped great heights due to the lower gravity of the Moon with respect to Earth.

"Haha! Look at me, I'm a moon boy!" Steven exclaims having fun for those jumps, but when Amethyst tries to imitate her, she falls facing the floor, so Spinel stretches to help her.

"Why can only Steven float?" Amethyst exclaims with annoyance, but Peridot mocks this quickly.

"Because we are gems, we are a species designed to inhabit different planets so our physical form adapts to the different levels of gravity of the celestial bodies" Peridot explains with obviousness, quite superb with respect to the purple gem that looked at her with certain offense .

On the other hand Steven did not give so much importance to that, he was focused on somersaults, until Spinel with her arm brings him to the ground, to the confusion of the hybrid "Look Steven ... It's Pink" The pink gem exclaims pointing to one of the murals of the moon base, surprising Steven, the mural was mainly pink, representing a figure that seemed to leave the earth and with two celestial bodies on her hand.

"Are they all here ?!" Peridot is surprised, she searches for the murals "Yellow Diamond!" The green gem sentence excited, she illuminates another mural, this time of a yellowish figure with a greater multitude of celestial bodies between her hands, representing Jupiter and all its moons.

"I mean these murals are ... the Diamonds" Steven mentions surprised, to which Peridot states with emotion to see the representation of her diamond, on the other hand Spinel looked longingly at the pink figure, the hybrid then grabs Spinel's hand , who corresponds the gesture by squeezing the hand of the hybrid, certainly the pink gem became emotional with respect to the mural, even more than Peridot.

Pearl observes this with some concern, but she decides that the best way to get the attention of the group was to activate the stairs, touching a different material on the floor, on the one hand floating steps appear, leading to a camera at the top of the base, and on the other hand the ground floor, showing a room under the moon base "The information we need must be up" Pearl exclaims seriously, she draws the attention of the rest of the group as she climbs.

"Only the elite elite have walked here! I'm so excited!" Peridot savors every moment that involves walking those steps in front of Pearl and Amethyst, although Steven and Spinel were interested in seeing what was below, Pearl called them and the duo had to climb at high speed. The hybrid was particularly interested that there was a kind of floating orb in an intermediate room.

"What does that work for?" Steven asks in dismay, to which Spinel could respond calmly.

"Pink told me about these, they serve to observe different places in the colony" Spinel mentions as they continued to climb, the highest room of the moon base had a kind of throne in front of a kind of desk, as Peridot would describe it, it was archaic. Compared to current Homeworld technology, Spinel on the other hand saw all that as normal, at least before having stayed at The Garden, she runs her fingers through that technology.

"This one has one of the bright hand controls" Steven exclaims quickly when Peridot tries to know how to turn on that technology. By simply putting his left hand, the hybrid managed to get that machine turned on. Spinel sits next to him, and Peridot was furious to see that duo sits on an elite throne.

"Idiots, you can't sit there! That's for the elite of the gems!" Peridot complains in frustration, but was ignored by Steven and Spinel, the pink gem particularly imitated the chatter of the green gem.

"Does this have games?" The hybrid wonders animatedly and curiously, while on the other hand Spinel touched the buttons on the other side of the throne, but to Peridot's surprise, the pink gem knew what she was doing.

"It has no games, but I can show you how it works. We just have to find a file" Spinel mentions calmly, looking at the desktop screen then a series of images and information present in folders, finding one that the gems could understand "It seems that it's just below the Kindergarten Beta, embedded between the crust and the mantle "Spinel explains to the surprised hybrid.

"... How can you know how to use this ?! You're a jester!" Peridot exclaims surprised and a little annoyed, but on the other hand Spinel stretches her nose with her fingers as if she were a little girl.

"Pink and I saw Yellow Diamond work on some occasions. Remember that I am a Diamond's jester. I am part of the jesters' elite, Peridot!" Spinel sentences by way of mockery, much to Peridot's annoyance, however the pink gem quickly gives little importance, leaving the throne "Can we go now?" Spinel asks with some melancholy seeing the place once more.

"What is this for?" Steven asks, he pulls out a kind of rhomboid device, but Pearl puts it back in its place.

"This is a communicator, Steven, was used for elites and gems of lower rank to communicate with each other" Pearl explains without wanting to stay far behind. Seeing Peridot's small gaze on the device, in a small movement the white gem crushes the communicator with too much force, embedding it on the throne "Now let's go" Pearl says cheerfully, coming back down with elegance.

A quiet Amethyst and a somewhat grumpy Peridot followed her "Why did I crush this?" The hybrid says innocently seeing the throne now a little broken due to the actions of Pearl, but then he notices Spinel, seeing the Earth map "Spinel ..." Steven catches her attention, the pink gem looks at him back.

"I can imagine her here, marveling at her colony," Spinel says sadly, but Steven then squeezes her hand again.

"Come on, don't think about that. I'm sure she thought of you" Steven exclaims and tries to cheer on the pink gem, which turns to see it slightly from above, a grimace forms on Spinel's face for a few moments but then she decides to go down with the hybrid. Steven tries to stop Spinel from observing that place, she seems to specifically look for any relationship with Pink Diamond, as if she will desperately need her Diamond.

"This could have been great, I would have enjoyed being here with her" Spinel laments, but suddenly Steven brings her to reality.

"But if that were not the case, we would not have met." The hybrid emphasizes with a small smile, which extends to Spinel's face with a small laugh, the pink gem ruffled Steven's hair for a few moments, until they heard Pearl calling them from below, so the duo had to run to the group of gems "Can we see what's down?" Steven asks Pearl, watching the stairs leading to a lower chamber.

"We didn't come here for that Steven" Pearl declares, but to her annoyance Steven and Spinel had already gone down there, followed by Amethyst, in the main chamber only Peridot, Lion and the thin gem were waiting for the others to return.

******

The lower chamber was a very elongated room of magenta color, with desks like the one in the upper chamber, a hand-shaped device, hundreds of inventions and finally in the center of the whole room, a giant had to appear to contain a pink and bubbling liquid inside "What is this?" The hybrid and the purple gem ask surprised.

"It's bio poison, in its purest form" Spinel sentences with a simple glance, she runs her hand around the gigantic one she had, which actually feels like it has the shape of an injector, to the surprise of the trio.

"... What? ... Bio poison? .... What does it do?" Amethyst asks the pink gem in surprise, to which Sponel thought for a few moments, looking for the right words.

"This destroys organic matter" Spinel sentences simply, surprising the duo "The Diamonds used it to eradicate life on Mars and the principles of organic life on their planets, I guess Pink was going to do the same with Earth, at last and after all, what is on the earth's surface is not even half of what Pink planned for her territory "Spinel explains, she returns to her most melancholic state.

"Oh ...wow" Amethyst says, at first it is all she can say "Let's get out of here" The purple gem sentence after a few minutes of absorbed silence, Steven tries to encourage Spinel, but his attempts were ineffective in that moment. All the group could do was go up once more and leave the moon thanks to Lion, they arrive once more at the barn.

******

In the barn Steven makes sure how the gems were left, Lapis was resting on top of the silo, to his surprise the blue gem slept and she snored loudly, on the other hand inside the barn neither Sapphire or Ruby had moved a centimeter, so everything "was fine" in the beginning. Pearl dedicated herself to loading the coordinates in the drill, while Peridot went to the second floor to continue watching her series.

"Are we going to see Camp Pining Hearts with Peridot?" Steven asks Spinel, who felt very out of place. The pink gem gave a slight nod and she stretches to climb to where Peridot was, carrying with her the hybrid in her arms, although the green gem did not give them much word, but preferred to watch her episode.

Steven and Spinel were sitting together on a small seat made of hay, while Peridot sat on the wood, at first the hybrid pays attention to the series, but he looks at the pink gem when he feels more and more like she plays with his hair as a kind of distraction.

"Spinel" The hybrid whispers to the pink gem, which suddenly pulls her fingers away from the surprise, but Steven was not upset "The Earth would not have been great if we had not met" The hybrid whispers again with a smile before returning to watch TV with Peridot, to which Spinel can't help but form a crooked smile. The pink gem played with the hybrid's hair again, and so they spent a few hours together, until Steven and Spinel fell asleep.
