(No ones POV)

Onyx: Do I have to do this...?

Garnet: If we are going to mantain this truce between us then yes, you have.

Thanks to the battle against Jasper, the hand shaped space ship ended up crashing into the beach of Beach City. Because of that, the entire city had a bunch of space junk scattered all over the place.
Right now, The Crystal gems were helping to clean the mess by picking up the leftovers of the ship that were on the beach. Amethyst was digging out pieces of steel from the sand like a dog, Steven was using a shovel to dig out the smaller pieces to avoid cutting his hands, you and Garnet were picking up the much larger and heavier pieces of steel while Pearl and Ash...

Ash: No, no, no! We need to pile up the pieces by placing the larger pieces at the bottom and the smaller pieces at the top!

Pearl: You call that efficiency? We need to separate the smaller pieces from the bigger ones, making two different piles.

They were just arguing with each other to decide how thing should be handled.

Steven: Do we have to pick all of this pieces?

Steven asked while struggling to dig out a chunk of steel from the sand with his shovel. Garnet slowly turned around and dropped a big pieces of steel on the floor, making it tremble briefly for a moment.

Garnet: Yes. Having a wrecked gem ship laying around is dangerous.

Onyx: Dangerous for us since Homeworld might spot it or dangerous for curious humans?

Garnet: Yes.

You rolled your eyes in annoyance while Pearl walked towards the group carrying a few pieces of gem ship, dropping them on top of a larger piece, agreeing to use Ash's method.

Pearl: And we also have to find Peridot's escape pod... You two wouldn't happen to know how to find her, right?

Pearl asked both you and Ash. 

Onyx: How in the blazes am I suppose to know where she landed? I don't have psychic powers like Jean Grey... Maybe we should call her to help us find Lapis.

Almost everyone was confused with that answer... Well, besides Amethyst who was doing her best to not burst into laughter.
You spent the whole night reading Marvel comics with Amethyst, going from a few Ghost Rider numbers to X-Men and even everyone's favorite... Civil War.

Pearl: Um... Okay?

Pearl decided to not pay much attention to that and instead she went back to work. You, Garnet and Ash started to follow her while moving pieces of the space ship. Steven decided to stay back for a moment to have a small talk with Amethyst.

Steven: Amethyst... You told Onyx that comics aren't real, right?

Steven asked with a bith of concern.

Amethyst: I thought he was going to figure it out on his own.

Amethyst confessed while shrugging.

Steven: Well, maybe you tell him before he actually starts to go around Beach City asking for people about where to find the X-Men's mansion.

Amethyst: Ugh... Fine, I'll tell him later.

Amethyst starts to walk to catch up with the others while carrying more fragments of the gem ship.

Amethyst: If I don't forget about it.

Amethyst said to herself while growing an evil smile once she was far away for Steven to hear her.
