a late night walk

spinel was sitting on a blue cloud, with a rather sad look upon her face. blue diamond notices and questions as to why she looked upset.

"I've been thinking about when I tried to destroy earth, and I've been feeling really bad about it too. I didn't stay to help clean the mess I made and I just left everyone there to deal with what I did. I feel terrible, and I kind of want to go visit Steven and apologize..." blue diamond smiles to spinel.

"I'm glad you're thinking about what you did and wanting to apologize, that's the right thing to do." spinel hops off the cloud onto the floor. she waves to blue and walks out the door to the entrance of the palace. she walks down the stairway and over to the warp pad and activates it, warping herself to earth in a matter of seconds. spinel arrives to earth, though its pretty late. she shrugs it off and walks over to Stevens place and knocks on the door. she whistles and waits until Steven opens the door.

"spinel? what're you doing here, and why so late?" he asks allowing her though the door way. she sits on his couch and puts her face in her hands. a long sigh came from her and she looked up to Steven.

"ahh well I uhm.. didn't know what the time was here so that wasn't my fault but.. I actually have been thinking..." spinel says as she scratches the back of her neck. "I was thinking back to when I first came to earth and tried to destroy it. I feel so... terrible for just, leaving without cleaning the mess I made, and I didn't exactly get to apologize for almost killing you..im really sorry Steven.."

"awh spinel, I-... don't worry about the mess, clearly its been fixed up. it wasn't hard neither so its okay, don't be so upset about it alright? and even if you didn't apologize properly, I still forgive you. everyone has rough moments in there lives and need one way or another to release the anger and stress so what you did was understandable, even if it was uncalled for. you were thinking about what would make you feel better and that's what matters. but next time you need to let it out, do something less harmful to others. go for a walk or cry it out, that might help!" Steven was right, she shouldn't have taken her anger out on someone who didn't do anything wrong to her. she needed some time to think again. "well spinel, hopefully that helps, I actually should get to bed now, its really late. the gems and I have plans tomorrow morning so I need to rest." Steven says, patting spinel on the back and heading up the stairs to his bedroom to go lay down. spinel still sits there on the couch, thinking of what to do now that she's apologized. then spinel's head pops right up, Steven suggested taking a walk, maybe that'll help clear her mind.

spinel walks down the beach, soon reaching the city. it was dark, a little chilly too and no one was outside. she continues to walk down the sandy path. randomly, thoughts of destroying the earth and killing Steven were flooding back to her. Steven said it was okay, but why was it still bothering her. wasn't the walk supposed to help clear her mind? spinel starts to breathe heavily, small sobs coming out. she stopped in her tracks, beginning to cry even more. she starts to tremble as the thoughts come back to her. flashbacks of what happened that day replaying in her mind. the garden. the crying. the fight. the rejuvenation. the injector. another fight. all of the bad memories kept coming back to her, causing her to cry and shake until she fell to the ground. her limbs going limp onto the sand. she choked on her many sobs. she felt so guilty even though she was told things were okay, she couldn't help but feel bad.

a few moments pass and spinel stops her crying. she sighs loudly. "pull yourself together spinel. someone might see you like this. you'll cause a scene" she tells herself. she gets up off the ground, dusting herself off. she continues to walk down the path again.

she soon reaches a part of the city where some stores around the street are still open. she walks down, looking in the windows of the lit up stores until she finds one in particular that catches her eyes. a pet store. she walks to the door and grabs the handle. a bell goes off as she enters.
