Jasper had been wonderful to her. The cake, the compliments, how sweet she was to Ruby and Sapphire, even if she didn’t seem completely comfortable with it. How comfortable she was with Garnet herself, too. The fusion would have never imagined anything like this, much less with Jasper out of all people, yet here she was, practically cuddling her after a night of stargazing.

The Crystal Gem did not react to anything until the Sun had not only started to rise, but also made it somewhat higher on the horizon. She didn’t know exactly what time it was, but she knew that there would be someone waiting for them soon enough.

Slowly, she sat up, her hand looking for the Quartz’s as she looked down at the other. “Jasper?”, she whispered softly, wondering if she was paying attention or was lost in her own thoughts.

Here she was, walking towards the Warp that would lead her closest to Pink Power Lake. Lucky enough, it was far away from society that Pink could meet her there. With everything that had happened lately, and how the Diamond had been ‘for science-ing’ with her powers, a lot of progress had been made. 18 feet was definitely small enough that she could fit on the Warp Pad.

And thus, she was coming to get the other, so they could warp to the Gamma Kindergarden. They would get to undo so much of the malice that happened there, and Garnet had decided to bring Pink along. After all, she had been the one to tell her about Sunstone’s intentions of reactivating it. That would not be allowed. Most of the control room was intact, and the injectors themselves were not in the worst condition.

If it weren’t because she was alone and didn’t have any instructions, Sunstone could have reactivated them already, which was a disturbing thought. This planet did not deserve any more harm, and especially not because of Gems. They had already done more than enough.
