Steven Universe: Wild Worlds

Chapter 5: Fire and Ice

The blue and red Gems reformed simultaneously, almost as if they planned to reform together. They both looked more stunning than ever. The bright light faded as they floated to the ground.

"W-what happened?" Sapphire asked, dazed. Ruby crossed her arms, narrowing her eyes at Sapphire.

"You don't remember?" Ruby was a bit annoyed at Sapphire, but no one knew why.

"Wait," Sapphire said, looking around at the worried Gems. "I...I think I'm starting to remember." She pushed her hair out of her eye and turned to Ruby, who had an angry expression.

"Great." Ruby said sarcastically.

"Ruby," Sapphire put a hand on Ruby's shoulder. "What's wrong?" The red Gem gasped, jumping in the air and removing Sapphire's hand from her.

"W-what's WRONG?!" Ruby started to laugh. "I know you saw this as a vision! I know this was your fault!"

Sapphire smiled nervously. "What? That's ridiculous. If I saw this, I would've said something..." Sapphire chuckled nervously, looking away from the hot Gem.

"Don't play dumb, Sapphire. I know you remember." Ruby said with a small sarcastic smirk on her face. Sapphire looked around the room to see her friends giving confused looks.

"I-I..." Sapphire stuttered, re-covering her eye with her hair.

"Tell them!" Ruby yelled and threw her arms in the air. Tears begun to stream down from Sapphire's eye.

"I...I saw this happening, okay?!" Everyone except the arguing Gems gasped.

"A few weeks ago...the galaxy warps came to my mind. I saw Peridot using her robonoids to fix them. I saw her finding Jasper and going back to Homeworld. Ruby told me we should go check on things, just to make sure everything was okay. But the possibilities were so low, I didn't think it would happen!" Sapphire explained quickly with an upset tone. Her tears flowed quickly, and soon turned to hail. The whole room had an icy coating on it.

"Sapphire," Steven said with a calming voice. "It's okay. We all make mistakes." He sat on the couch, motioning for Sapphire to do the same. She sat down and continued to quietly bawl her eye out.

"But this is a HUGE deal, Steven! This is going to be the end of the world! Gems from Homeworld are just gonna STROLL right into our temple and shatter us in our sleep!" Ruby screamed, stressed with the whole situation. Her fiery steps melted the ice on the floor surrounding her. Painful ice balls fell from Sapphire's eye, hurting her badly enough to make her continue to cry.

"I couldn't believe Sapphire wouldn't listen! I tried to force us to say something but she wouldn't let me! I-I..." Ruby's nose released steam as she paced back and forth in anger.

"Ruby, calm down. It's going to be okay." Pearl said comfortingly. Ruby seemed to get angrier.

"You don't know that PEARL!" Ruby snapped. Pearl backed away, putting her hands in the air as if Ruby was pointing a gun at her. Pearl didn't know what to do, and she was a little scared of Ruby.

"What do we do now?" Amethyst whispered to Pearl. "Sapphire's literally hailing and Ruby's a volcano."

"I don't know...we just need Garnet." Pearl whispered, just loud enough for Ruby to hear.

"Well guess what, you freak with a beak?! Garnet's not coming back! Nothing's gonna fix this. It's too late. 'Garnet' can't do anything now! All because of Snowstorm over here!" Ruby screamed, pointing at sobbing Sapphire. She charged towards the warp pad.

"Ruby!" Steven and Amethyst called. Pearl was really offended though. The angry red Gem stepped on the warp pad and warped away.

"W-well, you look, uh, you look... you're short!"  Pearl attempted to make a comeback...and failed.
