|Amethyst's POV|

There was a moment of silence before Flourite asked, "So, you said that you know some Amethysts?"

"Y-yeah." I said, still worried about Steven. "They are at the Human Zoo. Do you know where that is?"

"Lucky for you, I do! I heard lots of Jaspers talking about that zoo." A wave of relief came over me. Flourite stood up and put his hand out to me. "Come on! If we leave quickly, we can get to the human zoo in 10 minutes by Ruby ship."

I smiled and grabbed his hand. Fluorite grabbed the Jet and slipped out the crack in the wall. We snuck past guards and went through doors. Fluorite stopped at a door and whispered to me, "Okay, this is it. Expect guards. We might have to fight them."

"Ready." I released his hand and pulled out my whip, smirking. "Let's do this."

Fluorite summoned his weapon and opened the door. I braced myself and Fluorite and I rushed in...

Only to be greeted by no guards.

Fluorite looked around. "Huh, there are usually tons of guards. Where'd they all go?"

A loud booming voice sounded. "All guards to section 7 immediately, all guards to section 7 immediately. Code 1502, I repeat, code 1502."

I glanced at Fluorite. "Any idea what that means?"

He stared back at me, eyes wide. "That means two or more high-level prisoners have escaped and are missing." He glanced back at the ship they were going to board. "We should go before the guards chase them here. The prisoners might be dangerous to us and them."

I nodded and followed him into the ship...

|Ruby's POV|

I glanced around the corner. "All clear." I whispered to Pearl and Sapphire.

"Let's go back to Earth." said Sapphire coolly.

Pearl glanced back down the hall worriedly. "What about Amethyst?" she fretted.

"We'll come back for her, let's go." I muttered. I led them away from the guards that were chasing them to where the launch pad was.

The door was wide open.

I narrowed my eyes and summoned my gauntlet. "Some one has been here." I whispered.

We looked just in time to see a Ruby Ship launching. A gem looked out through the window, she looked like she was shouting.

It was Amethyst.

|Ruby's POV|

I was amazed that she's boarding the ship without being caught. I was also amazed that she was actually alive still. I looked back at the gems.

"I found Amethyst. She is boarding a Ruby ship. We might be able to catch up to her!"

Pearl was ecstatic. Coming to my senses, I felt panic bubbling up inside of me at the thought of them leaving us. I yelled at the others, "Come on!"

Pearl and Sapphire ran after me as I ran towards where the ship was lifting off. It was too late. Despair brought me to my knees as I watched them fly off into space.

Pearl and Sapphire dragged me to a place to hide. We stayed there for quite a long time.

|Amethyst's POV|

"Fluorite! Fluorite, I see them!" I shouted to Fluorite, staring back out the window towards my team mates.

My heart leapt when I saw Pearl, and I shouted, "Pearl!" But of course she couldn't hear me.

Faintly as if disconnected from my body, I watched as they became smaller until all I could see was the emptiness of space.

(A little while later...) |Amethyst's POV|

I sat in a corner on the Ruby ship my eyes glued to Fluorite's back. I looked away, sighing. It's not his fault. He couldn't have gotten them in time, we were already taking off... I told myself. I stood and walked over to him.

He looked at me sympathetically. "We'll go back for them. Sorry I couldn't land in time to get them. Are you okay?"

I nodded, sliding my gaze away.

We were silent for a moment. "Are you ready to go into warp-speed?"

I sighed and nodded.

"Sit down in a chair and press the blue button on the arm rest. It straps you to the ship and keeps you from losing your physical appearance." Fluorite stated, doing the same.

I glanced at the blue button and pressed it. I immediately felt locked in place, barely able to move. "Ready?" I heard Fluorite ask.

I nodded. A second later, we were off, blasting through the cosmos.

|Connie's POV|

It had been three days since the rocket had crashed and everyone was enjoying a break. I could tell something was bothering Steven, so I brought him out to the cliff on the forth to talk about it. "Steven, are you okay?"

Steven let out a deep breath, looking at the horizon. "I'm fine."

I put my hand on his. "Steven, I can tell when your lying. Please don't lie to me."

Steven gaze flicked at me and away again. "It's just... I'm so worried. We aren't the Crystal Gems without Pearl, Amethyst, or Garnet. I don't think things will ever be the same again. What if we never find them again?"

I looked up at him, his head was turned away. He was trying to hide the tear that was sliding down his cheek. I took his hand and forced him to look at me. "Steven, everything will be okay. If we don't get them, they'll bust out."

I reached up with my other hand and brushed his tear away, smiling. "We'll be fine."

Steven sighed and calmed down, smiling down at me. "I am the luckiest man in the world."

Connie laughed. "What makes you say that?"

Steven gave me a gentle kiss and murmured, "I have you. And with you, I have hope."

|Jet's POV|

I was inside my gem. I felt a hand grasping me. Then I felt like we were traveling...

I made up my mind, looking, (kinda), at my new form, satisfied. As soon as we get to where we're going, I'll reform...

A/N - Left ya in a kind of cliffhanger there, huh? :D Thanks again for for the help with this!
