Isabella walks out of her room to see Steven falling out of Lion's mane.

"I've made a horrible mistake!" the boy yells.

"What?!" Pearl yells over the loud game that the Gems were playing.

"Aw, man." Amethyst sags as she lost.

"Here, let me in." Isabella dives into Lion's mane. She spots a rainbow gem on the ground, recognizing it as it used to be in a bubble. She goes to rebubble it, but the gem levitates and starts to glow, regenerating.

A rainbow-haired gray Gem reforms and lands on the ground. She stumbles back in fright, taking a fighting stance. She then looks around and notices Isabella, who was staring up at her in shock and amazement. The two stare until the teen girl falls back and leaves out of Lion's mane.

Isabella gasps for air, "There's a Gem inside of Lion's mane."

"A Gem?" Pearl asks in confusion.

"Describe her." Garnet commands.

"Well, she's really tall, gray skin, with rainbow hair and...tattoos?"

"Rainbow hair...?" Pearl looks at Garnet with a concerned look, "What does her gem look like?"

"It's on her chest. It's rainbow-colored, but it goes in." Isabella explains.

"It can't be..." the white gem trails off.

"Can't be what?" Amethyst asks in confusion.

"Isabella, bring her out." Garnet told her.

"Okay!" the teen girl dives into Lion's mane and looksnaround for the Gem, who suddenly pops in directly in front of her.

"Hey, little friend!"

Isabella backs away in fright.

"No, don't go!" the gray gem stopped her, "I believe I'm lost. And there's no one here but us, so how about a little help?"

Isabella holds her hand out and pulls the Gem out of Lion's mane.

The two look at the other Gems, Garnet having a slack-jawed expression of disbelief as Pearl covered her mouth, tears in her eyes.

"Wow, a total stranger." Amethyst comments before looking confused as Garnet dispelled her visor.

"Pearl...Garnet..."

The white gem reacts first, "BISSS-MUUUTH!" she runs and hugs the Gem, overjoyed as she laughs happily, "You're back!" 

Isabella, Steven, and Lion look at each other in confusion.

"Woah! Hey!" Bismuth lightly tosses Pearl into the air and catches her as the white gem continues to laugh, "The Pearl I know never jumps into my arms! Hey, did somebody lose a Pearl?! Who do you belong to?"

"Nobody!"

"Ha-HA!"

"Alright, alright, settle down." Garnet walks over to them.

"Oh, you're one to talk, oh, oh, excuse me, you're two to talk." Bismuth smirks as the fusion scoffs, casually summoning her gauntlet and playfully punching her arm, "Hey, cool it. Your Ruby is showing."

Amethyst shuffles over to the siblings and Lion, looking just as confused as they are.

"Where have you been?" Pearl asks the tall gem, "We thought you'd been captured! Or worse, shattered."

"Shatter me? Pshh! Homeworld couldn't lay a scratch on this Gem." Bismuth gestures to herself with her thumb.

"Ahem. Who is this?" Amethyst asks.
