The starry night sky, a scene Luna and I spend most of our nights staring at. Out in Beach City, there's not much going on, so you can see so many stars and moons, they're not blinded out by the lights. We've had several deep conversations while out on the hillside. I didn't expect anything to change tonight.
"What's your future looking like, babe?" I heard Luna's head turn towards me when she asked me that question.
"I'm probably gonna stay with Spacetries for a bit, Blue Lace Agate and I have been left in charge ever since Lars left with the Off Colors." I turned to face Luna. "What about you, cutie?" She chuckled before answering.
"Right now, I'm glad that I can put the nonexistent past behind me and start anew here."
Wait a minute, did I hear that right?
"All that stuff they said about my mom, I know it's not true." She gripped onto the grass. "She isn't a horrible person."
I sat up and talked back to her. "Are you being serious, Luna? I shouldn't be the one to say this, but I know you know right from wrong."
She sat up and slammed her fist on the ground. "I do! She didn't do anything wrong!"
"She was careless, she was upset, she didn't mean to hurt everyone." I laughed and put my hand on my face.
"Yes, she did, Luna! Black Diamond shattered thousands of gems, destroyed the diamond's colonies, I think she was trying to hurt them."
She started to glow in the dark. "What do you know about her?"
I shook my head and responded. "I don't know, it's almost like I was there when the diamonds told us every horrible thing she did!" I noticed the glow started to intensify.
"L-Luna... you know it's the truth." I started to brace myself, seeing that she was getting angrier.
"They never understood her!" She slammed both of her fists on the ground, sending me back into the woods.
I stumbled out and held my side, I forgot how strong Luna can get. When I saw her, I was horrified. She was shaking on the ground, the color in her clothes starting to fade. Once I came to her side, she was already black and white, seemingly lifeless. "Luna...? Luna!?" Her gem started to glow. I moved her necklace and a beam of light shot out of her gem, just like a warp pad. I can't do this on my own. Before I turned around to head to the forest, Garnet had already landed. "Garnet!" I ran up to her and hugged her as tight as I could. "S-Something's wrong... I don't know what-"
"It's okay, the others are coming. She'll be okay..." I knew Garnet understood us more than anyone, I felt comfortable confiding in her.
"Guys!" Steven yelled out, landing with Pearl and Amethyst. They were able to get a good look at the situation before asking me what happened.
"She got upset when I told her that Black Diamond wasn't a good person." Steven looked as confused as I was.
"I thought that was apparent." I let go of Garnet and walked towards Steven.
"I don't think she's processing everything... at least in a healthy manner." He put his hand on my shoulder when Amethyst walked over to Luna. She placed her hand in the beam of light.
"Do you think it's warping somewhere?" Amethyst asked.
"Most likely, so we'll have to warp one at a time." Garnet walked over to Luna and placed her arm into the light, warping away. Pearl went in next, then Amethyst.
"She's gonna be okay," Steven told me before warping. I walked over to Luna and took out my present from my pocket. It was a small stuffed bear, something that I knew she'd love. I kneeled and placed it in her hands.
