Steven Universe: Dragonstone

Room for Ruby

Dragonstone Pov

I was at the barn with Lapis, Peridot and Pumpkin as we were waiting for the sun to rise and Peridot wanted to wish on a star with lapis as I sat with pumpkin on my lap, petting her head

Peridot: points out "Finally! There's a star to wish on!" Points at the rising sun

Dragonstone: chuckle softly "Yes...the biggest star in the entire solar system." I shake my head, hearing someone coming "Oh, visitors."

Steven: waves from their right "Peridot, Dragonstone, Lapis!" They looked to him and smiled

All three: they shout in unison "Steven!"

Steven: pumpkin scampers over while barking as he kneels to her "And Pumpkin! Can't forget you." Pumpkin runs around him

Peridot: walks up with Dragonstone and Lapis "Well, well, well, back again. You should just move in with us at this point."

Steven: smiles happily as he stands up "Actually...maybe not me, but, I know someone else who might be interested..." Ruby came running out from behind him

Navy: slides out from the corn behind Steven and waves "Hi! I'm Navy, a refugee form Homeworld..." stands straight and points up "Just like you guys!" Laughs and smiles kindly while peridot and lapis give weird looks

Dragonstone: I narrow my eyes "isn't that the gem who tried to kill you?"

Steven: shakes his head "No, that was Eyeball. This is the nice one." Bats his eyelashes

Peridot: "So...uh, when did yous how up on Earth?" She ask awkwardly

Navy: acts cute "Today!"

Peridot: throws her arms up "New Barnee!"

Lapis: she looks on in shock and turns to her "What?! No, hold on!" Looks between Peridot and Dragonstone "Can we...talk about this first?"

Peridot: nods excitedly "Yeah, yeah, of course. I love talking."

Dragonstone: I shake my head and brace myself for this "You're not gonna like this." Lapis summons water and envelopes navy in it, floating her away

Lapis: turns to Steven "Steven, this makes no sense. Why would she want to live here? We've been awful to her. She must hate us."

Steven: tries to reason "She doesn't hate us though!" Pleads "Give her a chance. She's on our side now."

Peridot: ponders "Just like that? Wow."

Lapis: not convinced "There's no way."

Dragonstone: nods "I agree, homeworld gems aren't so easily persuaded. They are drilled and brainwashed to do what they are told...or else."

Steven: thinks "You guys wanted to start a new life here too!" Smiles tilting his head "It can totally happen!"

Lapis: crosses her arms with a frown "Even if she wants to be here." Looks to Navy floating in the bubble "She doesn't know what she's getting into. Life on earth is really confusing." Looks uncomfortable "It took me a long time to get used to it..." Dragonstone puts a hand on her shoulder as she puts hers over his "...I'm still getting used to it."

Dragonstone: I give another nod "And we're up against the entirety of Homeworld. It's not like she can fight a diamond, can she?" Steven shakes his head sadly
