"So what's the trouble?" Crystal says, waiting for Pearl to begin to explain the problem. Pearl looked at all of them before speaking.

"We need to figure out what to do with Oops' gem.... she's too dangerous to be kept here, even bubbled. Who knows what could happen,"

"Ugh... so what? We dump her gem in an abandoned plane or something?" Amethyst suggested, already looking stressed from the motion of Oops' gem. Pearl shook her head.

"Even if we did, we'd still be at risk for one of her 'friends' finding and reviving her,"

"well, we can't shatter her," Steven said. Pearl and Amethyst look at Steven before speaking at the same time.

"That's a given, Steven" Pearl sighs.

"What are we going to do?" she said, rubbing her temples in frustration.

"I think we should keep her...." Crystal said. Steven, Pearl and Amethyst looked at her, a disturbing shock to their faces.

"Whaaa!" Pearl squawked. "No, no, she's too dangerous to be kept here!"

"Well, I think it's a good idea," Steven piped up. Pearl groaned in annoyance, face palming.

"Steeeveen-" she groaned.

"What? We kept the corrupted gems bubbled here, and they were just as dangerous! Maybe even more!"

"This is different, Steven," Amethyst said.

"Yes, Steven. The corrupted gems weren't aware of what they were doing, She does! And she's intelligent! All our lives are at stake with her being here!"

"Hate to say it Ste-man, but she's right. Maybe its time to let someone go? Not every gem can make a change." Amethyst puts a reassuring hand on Steven's shoulder.

"I think we have someone fit for that," Crystal says out of the blue. "I think we can get her on our good side."

All three of them looked at Crystal. "Who?" they asked at the same time. Crystal took a deep breath, collecting all her confidence.

"Ooh, just the girl that's with my girlfriend~." She says in a sing-song voice. A moment of silence deafened the room.

"WHAT!?" they all yelled.

"Crystal, Libby is just a human!" Pearl started. "She wouldn't be able to handle Oops if she began to get angry! I'm surprised she even survived the kidnapping!"

"Dude, putting a human with a gem like that... is the worst idea."

"I have to agree with them, Crystal," Steven said, shrugging and nodding his head. Crystal sighs as she reaches behind herself, pulling out shit tons of papers out of her neck and holding them in her hand.

"I mean, true....." Crystal began. "But, then why does this say that she can help Oops then?" Crystal gives a sad look. Pearl grabbed the papers and began to read them, a stern look on her. Steven and Amethyst look behind her to read them as well. Crystal awaited them to finish. Once they are done they give shocked faces. "So........ Do y'all disagree with me still?" Crystal gives a smirk.

"Ok, she's the one, but she's far too unstable now, we have to fix that first!" Pearl said, with a groan, as she handed the papers back to Crystal, who put them back into her gem.

"And how are we gonna do that?" Amethyst asked, a stern look on her face as she crosses her arms.

"I think Lou and Libby are talking about that right now,"

"When Oops reforms, she'll be hostile. I don't see how we can possibly help with that," Pearl said, crossing her arms.

"I've talked to lots of hostile gems before, there has to be a way to make it right...." Steven said, holding onto his chin as he began to think.
