I have been invited to Garnet's wedding. What it started as beautiful festivity it turned as a fight for Earth when two of the most hated being arrive: Blue and Yellow Diamond.

I walked through the empty, dark room. I was scared, I was anxious. I wanted to leave, but at the same time, I didn't. I was suffering an inner battle while tears dropped my eyes.
-I should leave now, the Diamonds could come at any minute...- I said to myself.
I went down stairs, seeing all the meep morps that Peridot and I created. I took Pink Diamond's Moon base as my new home. Besides I went flying when Steven come, I returned.
A part of me wanted to fly away, fly away of the trouble, fly away from a war that could end the Earth, fly away to life. But, what is a life without danger? A life without your family and friends? I forced myself to return and put all our meep morps inside the Lunar base.
-I wonder how the CPUP would look at this place if the Earth gets destroyed. The last vestige of human culture on the first vestige of the Gem expansion on Earth? Ironic- I said while getting closer to the exit –a Gem that's supposed to destroy and terraform use her powers to save at least the culture of the species of the planet she lived-
I was about to open the door, but I stopped myself. I looked back. All that stuff might be junk for some, art for others, but they have a special meaning for me. They helped to recover, to express my feelings. I made some of them while befriending Peridot and after we become a couple. That stuff and I had history and I was just leaving behind.
-Ironic, I searched the Earth thousands of years ago to learn from the Great Mew and now, when it needs me the most, I'm leaving it- I said creating a Water Clone of myself.
I tried to calm myself.
-Earth would be fine. The Avengers of the Justice and the Crystal Gems will save the day, they always do- I said.
-But I could be there to help them- I said through my Water Clone.
-Yes, but, it's too dangerous- I said -What thing is face the Illuminati and Asfur Shaytan, but, the entire Gem Empire!?-
-Sure it was dangerous, that Crazy Sapphire almost defeated all the Crystal Gems and shattered me, but I was victorious that day. It felt great to help- I said through my Water Clone.
-But the Gem Empire... it's different- I said.
-It was great while it lasted- I said through my Water Clone –but it could last more, much more-
-I know it could do, but, what could do I do against the Diamonds?- I asked to myself.
-Get creative, Water Angel. Remember that Earth's greatest heroes are never alone. They work together to overcome the impossible- I said through my Water Clone.
-And some of them died- I said.
-But for others to live. They died fighting for what they believed. It is not too late for go there and ask for apologies and maybe get a dress for the party- I said through Water Clone said.
-That would be suicidal- I said.
-It wouldn't be the first time I sacrificed myself for the others- I said through my Water Clone.
-And I suffered a lot for that. Malachite...- I said hugging myself.
-Yeah and then I was rescued by my friends. Kate gave her life in order to save me. I'm insulting her death by leaving Earth? I'm leaving behind all the good things I did!?- I grabbed myself with my Water Clone.
I looked at myself, shocked. I was suffering, I looked scared and deeply sad. There was no one restraining myself to leave but me and there was no one forcing me to leave than me.
-I'm the strongest Lapis Lazuli of all time. I'm the oldest disciple of the Great Mew, with great knowledge of the universe, of powers beyond all logic. I'm an Avenger of the Justice and a Crystal Gem. But yet, I'm leaving all that, all of this, my new home planet Earth to become... no one, just a wandering Lapis Lazuli without a place to call home- I said while looking at myself.
Both of myselfs started to cry.
-What's the use of all the power and knowledge I have I don't use it?- I said.
I went to press the button to open the door, but I stopped it.
-I want to leave- I said.
-But I want to live- I said through my Water Clone.
-Maybe just a last glance at my friends, a last goodbye- I said getting away from the exit door.
I undid my Water Clone and I went upstairs, looking at the Diamond murals. I then appreciated the one of Pink Diamond.
-Ironic. Pink Diamond came here to create life only to found it she would take it. To protect the life she made a war against her own species, and thus created death, but she managed to protect the life in a long term. She managed to bring life and freedom that once belonged to the human race. But what the humans do with this life and freedom? They are really the greatest creation of the Creator (you know her a God)? They fight themselves to time to time. For one reason or another. The story repeats, the flags might be different, but the methods are the same, as well. However, at the same time, they grow, they appreciate the human lives. They have created laws to control themselves, governments, social accords. They have created rights and consider that every human is born with these rights just by the mere fight they are humans. Sure they have made mistakes, but at the same time, they are growing, they always grow but not constantly, with some backwards, but always forward. The humans walk to achieve an utopia, but never reach it while at the same time they are closer to it. No wonder why you admired humanity Pink, they have grown more in 6000 years than us in hundreds of thousands of years, though they have some divine intervention. The Earth's history is just ironic- I said.
I went back to the dark room and went closer to the observation room. I pointed at my desired location. Suddenly the room emulated the inside of Steven's house. Everyone was getting prepared for the wedding of Ruby and Sapphire while a light glance appeared from the warp pad. That place was like a window for me to the lives of the people I loved, but without being with them, without being able to interact with them. Like being trapped on a mirror.
