|Amethyst's POV| One month after "Temporary"...

 I sat on the patch of softness near the wall, I'd moved it away from the place where the hidden crack was so Fluorite wouldn't step on me again while I was trying to nap. The crack opened up and I looked up, blowing hair away from my face.

 Fluorite limped in, a grimace on his face. He had a black eye and a cut on his cheek that was leaking bright green blood. (I'm imagining here that the color the gem's skin is, is the color the blood is, but much brighter.)

 I stood up at once and walked quickly to him. "Are you okay?" I asked, hesitatingly touching his black eye.

 "I'm fine, Amethyst." he said while limping towards the mysterious soft patch. "A prisoner escaped and tried to beat me up." he grunted and slid down the wall to sit.

 I sat beside him and pressed my thumb against the cut on his cheek, trying to stop the bleeding. When it didn't I gave up and ripped off a piece of my shirt and pressed it against his face, Fluorite held it in place.

 "Thanks." he murmured.

 "What kind of gem escaped?" I asked.

 "I think it was an Amber, I'm not sure. She had a blocked off cell, so I only got a glimpse of her." he glanced at me and held my gaze for a moment before looking away again staring at the wall. "I thought about your question."

 I looked at him. "You mean me asking you to come with me -- us when my friends and I escape?" I asked timidly.

 Fluorite nodded and turned towards me, catching my gaze and holding it. (Crowd: Are they gonna kiss?!) I felt his hand touch mine and he entwined his fingers with mine, and I felt my breath catch in my throat and my heart skip a beat. (Hahaha)

 "I've decided, that when you leave I'll come with you--" Fluorite was cut off by me hugging him fiercely. When I realized what I'd done I blushed and immediately pulled back.

 We sat in awkward silence...

|Connie's POV| One month after "Interruption"...

 I yawned, sitting up and stretching. It was morning and I'd stayed awake a while longer than I should have on watch. Steven was already outside when I peeked my head out, he was sitting on the hilltop, looking like he was meditating. He opened on eye and looked at me.

 I sat beside him and asked, "What are you doing?"

 Steven took a deep breath. "Trying to calm myself. Zirconia and Jasper were fighting again."

 I twisted around and looked for the two gems. "It's no use looking for them." Steven said. "They went off in different directions, both looked like they were going to punch whoever was in their way, so I just let them go."

 I hummed while in thought. "They seemed to be getting along well to me."

 Steven gave me a look like I was crazy. "What do you mean? They've been fighting every time I see them anywhere near each other."
