"We shouldn't be fused Zircon!" "But why? Don't you miss the freedom?" She stopped talking and covered her mouth when she heard her deep soft voice. "I can't believe I danced with you." She felt the pearl on her head and the Diamond on her arm. "Stop it you two i hate when you two argue." Morganite jumped in the water and headed for the door. "I'm not supposed to be here..and I'm here." She opened the door to be greeted by a sleepy Steven and two shocked Gems. Steven rubbed his eyes as they got wide. "Who is that!?"
     Morganite froze at the door and watched as the others examined her. "Please tell me I'm safe here.." "Morganite!" Garnet walked over to her and held her hand up. "Garnet you don't have to do that every time you see me." "I haven't seen you for more than four thousand years. So it is my honor to keep you informed and safe." "Are you like a queen or something!?" Steven said crawling on Garnets head. "No Steven she's just a very powerful Diamond." Amethyst said as she stood next to Garnet. "So..your Morganite..you look..AMAZING!" He said jumping down off of Garnet. "Your blue hair is all fluffy and soft! Your crystal baby blue eyes complement your light brown skin you're just-!"

"Perfect."

    Garnet said as she looked up at Morganite. "And you can't do anything brash as Morganite especially since she hasn't been in battle for so long." "Can you please help me Garnet?" Morganite smiled at her warmly waiting for her response. "Fine." "Really!?" Morganite picked Garnet up and swung her around. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" Garnet laughed when she set her down and tilted her shades. "Anytime." The two walked out of the house and leaped onto the sand.
     "Can we go out to watch Amethyst?" "Nah little man I think its best we sit in here and watch so you won't get hurt." Garnet summoned her gauntlets and stood ready waiting for Morganite to attack. "Remember how to summon our weapon?" "Of course." She swayed her hands until the pearl started glowing then grabbed a spear. "This is good." Garnet said as she watched Her take the blades out of her arm. "My scythe." She turned the spear as she added the blades then stopped as she put the last one in. "Ready Garnet?" "Yea." Morganite quickly appeared in front of Garnet showing an after image as she struck her in the back. "You have to be faster than that." She turned and stopped her scythe before hitting Garnets face with a smile.
     "I thought I taught you better than that Garnet." Garnet froze when she saw how close the blade was to her face and looked at Morganite. "You did." "Then why let your guard down like that?" "My apologies." Morganite lowered her weapon and giggled. "Don't be so serious Garnet." She lifted Garnets shades and put her hand on her cheek. "Can you do me favor?" "Yes ma'am." "Can you keep a watch over Pearl and Zircon for me?" "I will." "Good! I'll either see you in the next thousand years and maybe if they get along you'll see me again soon." Morganite backed away and waved at Garnet as she splitted in two.

    "You..tricked me!" Pearl said getting up out of the sand. "I didn't trick you, you wanted to dance with me." Zircon sat there trying to get the sand out of her long light blue hair. "I could've been training by now!" Zircon stood up and put her hair in a ponytail. "Stop yelling at me! You act like I forced you to fuse with me!" "Stop it you two!!" They both looked at Garnet getting quiet as she walked towards them. "You two are acting like small children! I expect more out of you Pearl especially you Zircon." Pearl put her hand up to her chest and looked at Garnet. "I'm sorry..but I can't possibly side with her anymore." "Nonsense, have you not learned from past battles? You can side with anyone even your worst enemies." Pearl and Zircon looked at each other then back at Garnet.
    "You two are amazing and you know it." "I'm willing to do anything." "For Pearl?" Pearl looked at Zircon hiding her excitement when she waited for her to answer the question. "No, for Steven." Pearl looked down feeling crushed inside as Zircon walked off towards the house. "Pearl.." "It's OK Garnet really, it is." Pearl smiled and walked away crushed on the inside from Zircons blunt words. "Zircon, you're back! Aww then that means I missed Morganite." "I'm sorry Steven maybe you'll see her next time." "I hope so." Zircon messed up his hair and went inside of Pearls room. "Oh! Pearl you look..sad." "Oh no Steven!" She said with a little laugh. "I'm perfectly fine." She smiled at him one more time before entering her room.

    "Is that why you're really here..for Steven?" "No, I'm here to stay alive from getting shattered." "You're a Diamond you can just fight back." "Unlike you and Rose I can't just banish away from everyones head. I'm a Gem Hunter, everyone will remember me fighting back or not. Diamonds aren't allowed to fight each other head on like that..we gotta go through stupid wars and as you can see no one is willing to do that." "We'll do it." "What?" "We'll help you with this war so you can crush Blue Diamond and take over for yourself." "You think this war will be easy? Remember Jasper and the rest? They beat you guys senseless, I can't afford risking life on earth because of your brash decisions." "We can handle it Zircon..we have Morganite! She can destroy anything...just like you." Zircon grabbed Pearls hand and smiled at her. "You'd be willing to do this for me?" "Even though we have our differences..I'm pretty sure you'd do the same for us." Zircon nodded her head with determination. "We can start training tomorrow then!"
