Sally, The Crystal Gem

The Dream

Okay so this is where a lot of the canical endings change I guess. I'll put at the beginning of each chapter when the endings change. This one does not have Pearl's weird dream. I have something else in mind...

It had been weeks since Sally trapped Jasper under the ocean. No one quite understood how Sally was able to power over Jasper, what with her being... Defective...

After cleaning up a lot of the rubble, they were never able to find Lapis.

The gems had gone searching for the fusion, which had been named Bronzite.

"Oh, this is useless! We'll never find Bronzite this way!" Pearl said.

"Are you worried about Sally?" Amethyst asked, holding Steven's legs so he could go underwater.

"Of course I am! It's probably terrifying to be fused to a day with with Jasper, let alone weeks!" Pearl said. Steven started wiggling his feet, signaling Amethyst to pull him up.

"Was it one wiggle or two...?" Amethyst asked, clearly tired.

"Amethyst, stay focused!" Pearl ordered. Amethyst shrugged and let go of Steven. "For all we know, Sally and Jasper's fusion could be right below us!"

Steven swam to the surface, spitting out a fish that had gotten in his mouth. Garnet grabbed him and jumped into the small boat.

"Nothing." She said.

"I'm surprised a fusion as big as Alexandrite can hide this well!" Pearl said. "It feels like we've been searching for light years! And I'm sick of these Life Diaper things!"

"Safety is no punchline, Pearl." Steven said trying to give Garnet a Life Jacket. Garnet threw it into the water and changed her form to her own Life Jacket.

"Safety is our job. We must find Jasper and Sally. Their fusion is like a ticking time bomb." Garnet said.

"Is Sally or Lapis going to be okay?" Steven asked.

"I don't know about Lapis, but Sally had control of their fusion when she dragged it into the ocean. But, a fusion like that is unstable, bound together by anger and mistrust. If that bond snaps, their anger will take over, and destroy." Garnet said.

"Don't worry, Sally..." He said tiredly. "We won't let... You sleep with... The fishes..."

"We're going to have to keep looking. But first, we're gonna have to take Steven home." Garnet said.

"We should be out there searching, not in here, not searching!" Pearl said as they walked into the temple.

"Sleep is a curse, and yet a curse, I need to survive. Steven Universe." Steven said quoting himself.

"Steven isn't like us. He needs rest." Garnet said.

"Don't you guys need rest, too? You look exhausted." Steven said.

"We look awesome." Garnet said, even though she was pretty wrong.

"Look, you can't really not sleep until you try it." Steven said grabbing some pillows. And maybe we can throw a little fun into the mix with a slumber party!"

"Fun...?" Pearl asked, not wanting to do that. She just wanted to go looking for Sally...

"Yeah, we lay down, and peacefully doze off." Steven said. "It'll be like there isn't a really scary, vengeful fusion filled with hatred boiling in the ocean!"

"Steven's right. You should stay here and relax. You need it. I'll go out and look for them some more." Garnet said placing her hands on the gems' shoulders.
