Chapter 25: Warp Tour

"Everything alright?" Y/n asked as they saw Rose Quartz approach with a worried expression

"My little Y/n, something very scary is about to happen... Scary for me as well... And the Gems," Rose Quartz told, "I want to believe you are prepared for it... but I'm not sure,"

"Well... What is it?" Y/n asked, "I mean how much worse can it get then when all those watermelon Stevens came to life and tried to kill us?"

"Much worse, My little Y/n," Rose Quartz shivered, "So much worse... And the thought of anyone of you getting hurt... it sickens me,"

"Well, I'm sure we'll be able to handle it when the situation arises," Y/n told

"I... Just wish I had a power to give you that could help you," Rose Quartz admitted

"I mean, unless you can give me super strength I'm at a loss of ideas," Y/n chuckled

"Oh how I wish I could give you unlimited strength," Rose Quartz sighed

"Don't stress over it," Y/n told, "When it happens, it'll happen. We'll make our moves then,"

"You are so calm," Rose Quartz commented, "Why?"

"I just have a feeling it'll work out in the end," Y/n admitted, "Call it human intuition,"

"Yes, but what about the journey leading to the destination? What if it's filled with pain and destruction?" Rose Quartz feared

"What if... What if," Y/n repeated the phrase, "If I had a dollar for every time I worried over a "what if" situation, I'd be the richest human on Earth. Somethings.... as much as I would like to change it, are out of my control. There's no point in stressing over it if you can't change it. But once I find the moment to change it, I will. I promise you that,"

"And here I am supposed to be helping you," Rose Quartz wiped a tear from her eye, "You have grown so much... And it has only been six months..."

"Oh right," Y/n groaned, "It has been six months..."

"Are you worried about leaving?" Rose Quartz asked

"Not worry," Y/n told, "Dread,"

"You're dreading leaving..." Rose Quartz muttered, "Well, be prepared to burn your dread, My little Y/n,"

"Burn my dread?" Y/n frowned

"You will know in time," Rose Quartz sighed, "There is still so many events to happen in the coming months.... One begins right now,"

Bing Bing Y/n's phone buzzed from the night-side table. Y/n groaned as they grabbed their phone and saw that it was 12:00 Am and a text from Steven displayed on the front
