3rd Person P.O.V.

Phoebe explained everything to them. They all were shocked about what Charlotte did to them. The gems finally know what's the problem with Steven, and they want to fix it.

The next day, Steven was taken to the livingroom and everyone was there, waiting for him.

(Steven) What's this about?

(Garnet) Sit down. We'll explain.

He sits on the couch.

(Garnet) We've been talking to the others about what happened on Homeworld. And we want to reassure you that we want to help you. Phoebe told us everything. From when you got back after Moonlight kidnapped you, to when Charlotte got personal with you.

(Pearl) We understand you don't trust us, and you have a good reason to. We never gave you a reason.

(Amethyst) You may not know how much you helped us, but it's a lot. We each learned something from you. You helped me feel better about myself and that being defective was okay. Because it made me feel special because there would be no other gem like me.

(Pearl) You helped me get over my grief from... Pink. And I learned not to blindly assign hate and blame to someone for something they had no involvement in.

(Garnet) You helped Ruby and Sapphire to fuse back together again and they learned that being we can forgive those who tricked us.

She referred to Pearl.

(Lapis) You healed my gem and helped me learn that I can trust others again. Like when Peridot tried to make amendments for what happened.

(Peridot) You opened my eyes about what the Diamonds really were in the past. And you helped me discover the wonders of this planet. I learned that life is precious and worth protecting.

(Bismuth) You freed me in the bubble Rose-- sorry, Pink put me in when we had the disagreement. And you taught me that compassion practically works for everything.

(Volleyball) You healed me eye enough for me to open it. And I learned that the scars of the past can heal.

(Spinel) You helped me when I was at my lowest and showed me what a real best friend is.

(Yellow Diamond) You helped me understand that what we did was wrong. And you taught me that my temper won't help anyone.

(Blue Diamond) You helped me feel a little better when I came to Earth to mourn over Pink. And you helped me learn that I shouldn't make others feel my grief and sorrows.

(Pink Diamond) You defended me from the Diamonds and made a compromise to where I can be treated like a Diamond again. And I learned that I have to grow up eventually and to mature. As well as I learned there's consequences for my actions.

(White Diamond) You showed me that my way of perfection was flawed and I cannot manipulate others to my bidding, physically and mentally. And you told me I don't have to be perfect. It was difficult for me to transition to the "average" side, but it was worth it. Like a weight was lifted from my shoulders and I felt even more amazing than I ever before.

(Moonlight) You helped me got over my little... fantasy, a little. And you taught me that everyone deserves second chances.

(Howard) You invited me to see the four legends in the Palace, the Crystal Gems, and got to be a part of a badass adventure. You taught me... well, I don't know what.

(Connie) A little like Howard, you helped me make friends and you helped me got out of my social anxiety state when you invited me over to your house. You helped me learn that if I can't let my anxiety push me.
