The one-eyed ruby emerges out of it. Steven, Lapis, Peridot, and us Crystal Gems all gasp as the Ruby starts looking around.

"Ruby? Wha..!" Steven is pulled by Garnet as we run to hide in the barn

"Whoa, look at 'em all!" Steven peeks out his head to look at them all.

Peridot peeks over too, on top of Steven.

"I knew it. They're after me! This is THE END of the line!"

"You really weren't kidding." Lapis says.

"I disobeyed a direct order from Yellow Diamond, and I called her a clod... to her face."

"Oh, honestly, you call everyone a clod." Pearl says and I giggle while looking at her. She smiles at me.

"Yes, but not everyone has command over all the armies of Homeworld waiting for the word to shatter me!"

Peridot scampers to a box of baseball equipment, dumps out the contents and hides inside the box.

"Peridot, we won't let them get you." Steven lifts up the box.

"But haven't I caused you enough trouble?"

"Don't worry, Peridot. It's our sworn duty to protect anything that calls this planet home. And that includes... clods like you." Garnet says.

"That's my word..."

"Listen up, everyone. I have a plan. Or should I say... We have a plan."

"Huh?"

Garnet holds up her hands and giggles. She then begins to unfuse, separating into Ruby and Sapphire, holding hands with each other.

"Hello everyone."

"Ruby! Sapphire!" A few of us say including me.

"HUUUGS!" Steven Runs up to Ruby and Sapphire and hugs them.

Sapphire giggles.

"Hello, Steven!"

"So, what's the plan?"

Sapphire turns to Ruby.

"You got this. Just act casual." She kisses Ruby on the cheek.

"Yeah." She bumps her fist against her palm. "Casual."

Ruby starts walking awkwardly towards the Homeworld Rubies, who are gathered and chattering among themselves, with a Ruby with a visor who is standing on top of the Roaming Eye.

I walk to a wall and slide down it onto my butt and rest my head on the wood.

I look and see Lapis was staring at me. Once I caught her she looks away with a deep blush.

'She definitely was the blue person I was sleeping with awhile ago.'

I look down at my hands then my feet.

'How can I fly?.. do I control wind? Or air? Or can I just fly?'

I close my hands and think.

'Maybe I could ask Lapis when this is over. She can control water after all.'

"They want to search the barn!" Ruby is standing at the entrance sweating.

"We heard."

"We saw."

"So I'm caught!" Peridot says fearfully.

"Not yet." I say.

Amethyst holds up a baseball bat.

"Let's ambush them!"

"No. No one needs to get hurt. Let's be sensible."

"What do I do?" Ruby starts biting her fingers in panic.
