The Missing Diamond

Chapter 22 amethyst clearly has a problem

Before this chapter starts I'd like to say something HOLLY SHIT WE'RE AT 3K READS thank you all so much and now on to the chapter

We saw a note sapphire pinks it up sapphire read it "sapphire you were right I need some time to think so I'm running away -ruby this can't be happening oh ruby i so sorry you left before I could take back all the horrible things I said to you" she was crying pearl picked her up "well amethyst was with her right maybe she knows where she went" we heard game noises and looked to steven's room "amethyst have you seen ruby?" I asked "yeah I seen her she asked me for pen and paper a while ago why?" sapphire was sobbing "because she ran away" pearl said standing in front of the video game I hugged sapphire "have you seen her?" "I dunno she'll come back it's not my job to babysit her hey steven get over here I need a player two" "hold on a second amethyst" Steven looked at sapphire "do you see her coming back in your future vision sapphire" she looked at him "oh Oh! Maybe she's so wonderful and spontaneous I have no idea what she could why would she be a cowboy!" She held onto pearls legs and cried pearl pat her head "there there it's going to be okay she's going to come back she's got to come back if she doesn't then then" she trailed off "there would be no more garnet and what on earth would we do with out garnet" I had tears in my eyes now I don't want garnet to be gone forever "oh pearl how will I ever get her back" she hugged her "I don't know you two are incredible together you raised iris together I-It can't be over" I held onto them we all cried together "uuuh why don't you take all of this into the temple" she sighed "Steven and I are gonna play video games" "no it's okay I'm gonna go out and find ruby sapphire" "what" she looked at him "i'll be back with her in no time" he walked down the stairs sapphire and pearl we're still sobbing "yo steven wait up I'm common too" "me too" I said I slid down the stairs and climbed onto my wheel chair I wheeled outside where I also slid down the stairs again and hopped onto my wheel chair amethyst brought down "I don't think ruby used the warp pad she said she was running away not warping away and she's usually pretty literal we need to figure out which way she ran in" "so how do we do that" amethyst asked "uh let's try putting ourselves in rubies shoes" amethyst ship shifted to look like ruby "hehe now what?" Steven looked unamused "amethyst be serious she could have only gone in one of two directions either into town or the ocean" we thought for am moment we went into the ocean steven and I were in a bubble because we both can't breath under water and I'm a gem "ruby ruby!" Steven called out "ruby!" Amethyst called out in a muffled sound we got out of the water "okay so she wasn't in the ocean" we walked toward the city "ruby!" I shouted "ruby" amethyst mumbled she lifted a shell "ruby?" She shrank and checked "hey this could be like a house" Steven picked up the shell "amethyst we really need to find ruby could you stop messing around and turn back to normal" "you're the boss" she turned back and broke the shell in the proses landing on steven  "we need to think where could she be is there anyone in town that she knows?" "Well steven she's half of garnet my guardian since I was a baby she knows all my friends and where they live she knows most of the residents living here she knows your friends" "okay I get it but where should we go?" I hummed "what about the car wash?" We went there and looked through the window "dead end huh" "well we just gotta keep looking we went to vadahlia's steven and I were drawing missing posters of ruby amethyst got fries while steven and I put up some posters we went to Fun land and went on the tea cup ride amethyst was having fun while we were concerned about ruby steven tossed some of the posters off the ride for people to grab we went to the light house to look through the telescope still no luck we went to the pizza place we didn't see her "hey we should get some to cheer you both up" "but what about ruby?" I asked "it's cool you wanna help ruby but what about you guys" we looked down "come on let's forget about ruby for a moment and get some pizza" "I-I'm not hungry" his stomach growled "maybe I'm a little hungry" amethyst pushed me inside we went to a handicap table because well my current state we ordered out pizza "hey do you think you'll be able to walk again?" Steven asked "I don't know i've been getting a little better every day with garnets help" Kiki came over to us with our pizza "here's your pizza with literally all the toppings oh and here! She gave us spoons "you're gonna need these" "thanks" steven said "yeah thanks man" "you're welcome" she left us to eat steven and I poked it wit the spins while amethyst grabbed a slice "so" she squished the pizza "pink diamond huh" "yep" "and you're both diamonds" I nodded "so you' related for real then" I looked up after I took a bite "I guess we're cousins" "so all this time we thought Rose was this rebel leader but she was just rebelling against her self?" Steven nodded "and my moms too" "and the diamond that rose supposedly shattered I mean you got it it's right there under your shirt" he lifted it up and looked at his gem "yeah" he nodded "so you ya feelin?" "I feel confused we both do I-i thought I really finally got it but my mom didn't have everything figured out even though everyone put her up on this pedestal now she's royalty too and so is iris" amethyst nodded "I'm relieved that she didn't shatter anyone but she lied to everyone I'm even I'm not surprised I knew she was higher this is just so much to take in" he spilt some pizza on his shirt "but like went you mad" "kinda I don't know" "all that really matters is how garnet took it" i said "But what about you two" she slammed her hands on the table "she's your mom steven and your aunt she was supposed to make everything better it's not fair we shouldn't have to deal with any of this we shouldn't have to fix any of this we weren't around to fix her stupid problems" I looked at her "how do you feel about this amethyst are you okay?" I asked "no! He's! Of course I'm okay I'm just trying to find out how you two feel about this you're the only ones related to her it doesn't really affect me" the door opened "dude I just got the biggest tip from Mr. Universe and I'm totally gonna buy those boots now" "woah seriously?" "Yep he was like all the way up on brooding hill which is totally out of our delivery range comporting some little friend she must have been crying she was like really really red" "Ruby!" We shouted "let me handle this you two no more adult's should be putting anything else on you two just let someone else take care of it for once" she stormed out "amethyst wait" steven ran after her leaving me in here "why do you do this to me" I wheeled my self out of the store "there is someone else who needs help even more and it's you" steven pointed at her "amethyst we need to talk" "uuuh" she turned into a helicopter "can't now bud going to find ruby" Steven and I went after her steven jumped up in the air grabbing the helicopter "let me help you with your feelings!" "Off my back dude" she was trying to get him off "come on you can tell me they went down then went straight up spinning "I'd you open up you'll feel so much better!" He shouted they got to far away from me so I wheeled myself up to the brooding hill to find ruby and Greg siting together "Ruby!" I shouted she looked at me she walked over to me and hugged me "you're all right" I said "yeah Greg Was comforting me anyways how are your legs?" "I still can't really walk" she helped me walk over to the blanket "here have a slice of pizza" she handed me one "thanks ruby" I said I ate it I felt tired I laid my head on her lap and fell asleep
