(Y/N)'s POV

"Whoa, calm down." I say, trying to stop the situation from escalating. "We're all good, right?"

"Yeah, guys." Steven supports me. "We're all friends here. There's no need to get so alarmed."

Steven discreetly pulls me nearer to the crystal gems and all of us huddle together with Spinel just standing there outside.

"Okay, we might need a quick rundown here." Steven tells me. "What the hell is going on?"

"Okay, I'll keep it as short as possible." I reply glancing at Spinel who is waiting anxiously. "If I heard the story correctly, the last time you saw Spinel was with the diamonds. Correct?"

They all agree in unison.

"So, after Spinel went to live with the diamonds, they sort of just ignore her." I continue. "She couldn't stand living there, ran away to earth and met me. I've been with her for some time and I can promise you she had improved a lot and I think it's about time for her to re-enter society. But for now, here we are and I need your help."

"I knew this would have happen." Steven exclaims, clenching his fist. "Those diamonds really are no good, huh."

"Well, I guess we could try." Amethyst, the short purple gem reply. "I'm not really sure what we could do with her though."

"For starter, you guys could go greet her first while I talk with Steven about some more small details." I suggest. "Just make small talks and remember, don't touch any sensitive subjects."

The gems look at each other, hesitant to approach their former enemy.

"Pearl, how about you go first?" Amethyst suggest as she nudge the white skinny gem.

"Um, I think you should go first, Garnet." Pearl says in refusal.

"Fine." Garnet gives in. "Just follow my lead."

The gems walked over to Spinel before starting to say something I couldn't make out. They are all shaking Spinel's hand in turn so I guess they'll be fine for now.

"So, Steven." I turn back to him. "There's a lot we need to talk about. Oh, I'm (Y/N) by the way."

"Well, it's nice to meet you." He replies while shaking my hand. "Steven Universe. I think you already knew me though."

Then, I discuss several minuscule but important details with Steven. First, we manage to secure a place for Spinel and I to sleep at. Spinel will be taking a spare room while I would be sleeping on the couch. It's kind of ironic since it had been the other way around for a while but I think she deserves it. Next, the place I would be working at. I call my boss and manage to change my position to a nearer branch in Beach City. At first, he was pretty hesitant to compel but I might or might not have use Steven's reputation to convince him.

Everything seems to be in order. Steven is currently inviting all the other gems including Spinel to return to the Beach House. The first step have been taken and now, it's time to begin Spinel's recovery and finally give her the happily ever after she deserves."

...

The first few days are... not really promising. Spinel is always following me around and subconsciously hiding from the other gems.
