(Red Amber's POV)
I sat there, quiet on the dark. The sounds of the waves crashed agains the sand. I was still unsure with how I felt. I simply closed my eyes and ran my fingers through my hair. This was nice. When was the last time I was here? 4000 years ago, that seemed about right... 4000 years ago....when Rose was here. Rose... i felt an ache in my chest and fell to the floor. The bound between the two gem have stopped. I was defusing...

(Pearl's POV)
I hit the sandy floor with a thud. My hands lifted me back onto my two feet. I could feel water running down my right eyes. My hand touched the side of my cheek. Tears. I was crying. But I didn't know why. This emotion overwhelmed me. My eyes darted to the person across from me. Coral. Her back was turned, but I could hear her whimpering. I walked over to her my hands about to touch her shoulder, but instinctively, I held back. Hesitation. "Coral..." I began, but the words they couldn't come out. I didn't know what to say. I didn't know what the problem was. "You still love her...don't you?" she whispered as she stood up. I didn't respond, I knew even though I forgave Greg, I would always still have feelings for Rose. I couldn't help it. "Answer me." Her voice was firm now. She turned around to face me but I couldn't meet her eyes. I simply stood there, my hands at my sides. "Yes..." I replied at last, my head turned away but at the corner of my eyes I could see the pain on her face. Why would she care? Why does it matter to her this much? "I thought maybe, it would change after we fused, I thought you would finally understand.. But no, you are still as selfish as before, I only will ever love her. HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT HOW SHE FELT?!? ABOUT HOW I FELT?!" she was yelling, now. I could feel rage surging through me. I'm selfish?!? Was she serious?!? All she ever did was turn back time to hide from her own problems... This gem was unbelievable! "I'm selfish?!? Look who's talking! All you ever did was turn back the timeline to 'fix' everything! You never took the time think about how Garnet had felt! How Sapphire had felt!  How Rose had felt! How I had felt! Why does it matter to you that I loved Rose?!?" I always suspected that Coral loved Rose as much as I did. It pained me... She knew Rose's secrets, she knew I had feelings for her. She was more guilty of her selfishness than I would ever be! Silence swept through the beach, the wind was howling in my ears now. I was brave enough to look into her dark red eyes. I could see pain in them, but I couldn't feel sympathy for her. She was guilty in every way. "I'm going to go check on Steven" I replied at last. My feet storming off back to the temple.

(Lapis' POV)
   A pair of water wings shot out f r om my my gem. My worry didn't leave me, it had followed me for the past month...the terrible thoughts rushed back into my brain. I pushed them away and glanced at the gem that laid asleep on the old couch, Peridot. I never really understood why she enjoyed sleeping,  it felt...strange...me Our companion Pumpkin was also asleep, resting itself atop of Peridot. IiI smiled, she was really adorable.  I decided not to wake her. This situation did't worry her as much as it did to me, so it would only make sense if I went alone. I flew out of the barn and very quickly glided over to the warp pad. My feet landed on the cool surface and I retracted my pair of wings. I glanced around once more before warpping myself. There wasn't much but a soft breeze and the dark sky above me. I sighed and warpped myself to the temple.

(Coral's POV)
    I could take anymore of this. I couldn't stand them, Pearl and Garnet. No matter what, I would always be that one screw up. I paced around on the wooden floor for some time. It all was so different, has nothing stayed the same? Not Pearl, not Garnet, not Rose, not Ameth- wait... I stood still for a moment.  She has not changed. Another thought occurred to me. I wonder, was the door going to work? I approached it hesitantly.  My eyes glanced at the five colored stones are placed on it's surface. I glanced down at the right angle of the star. The stone...it was purple...Amethyst's room...my room... I wonder...I closed my eyes for a moment and touched the stone. I wonder if this would work. "Open door."my voice didn't raise past a whisper. The small stone grew cold instantly and I opened my eyes again. Its color had changed, no longer was it the purple color of Amethyst's gemstone but I was orange-ish red, the color of my gemstone. I stepped back and allowed my door to swing open, just like it used to. I haven't even stepped in before I noticed how different it looked. The water...it was gone...it was replaced by massive piles of junk and trash, alongside the crystal rocks that once served as a home to the life in there. It was all gone. I stepped back only to tumbled onto someone behind me. I spun around instantly, for a split second I had thought that this gem before me was Sapphire. My heart that was once surged with worry was now beating at a steady pace again. The blue gem turned around. She was a terriformer, a Lapis Lazuli.  This was new.....
