An: I hope you enjoy this chapter. I haven't uploaded this story in a while. I'm going to figure out a scheduled for all of my stories. Please leave your thoughts and ideas in the reviews. I love you read your reviews, they keep me motivated to write.

"I'm done being treated like garbage. Rose was the only one who loved and cared for me, along with Steven." Amethyst was talking to herself as she went under the beach docks to get away from Garnet and Pearl. "I hurt Steven." She couldn't believe she hurt him, it was like hurting Rose but worse.

"Amethyst!" Pearl yelled in the distance.

"How'd they get back so fast?" Amethyst whispered to herself.

"Amethyst, please come out. We're worried about you." Garnet's voice followed.

"I don't want to see them right now." Amethyst whispered again trying to think of a plan.

"We didn't mean to hurt you." Pearl was trying to get her to come out from her hiding spot.

"You're a crystal gem as much as we are crystal gems. We are all equal." Garnet felt terrible. She was still holding the Rose Quartz gem.

"They're lying to me." Amethyst whispered to herself. "I need Steven's gem. I want to fix this by myself." Amethyst was still an owl.

"I don't think she is out here." Pearl turned to Garnet.

"We have to keep looking." Garnet was their leader. Amethyst needed her.

"She might be in the Kindergarten." Pearl thought.

"We shouldn't bring Steven's gem to the Kindergarten." Garnet adjusted her shades.

"There might me mutants there." Pearl was thinking all the risks.

"We can't take the chances." Garnet and Pearl walked back to the Temple.

"That was a close one. I need to take Steven's gem." Amethyst got out from under the dock. "They're probably gone by now." Amethyst turned back Into herself and slowly walked back to the Temple to give them time to leave.

Amethyst walked into the Temple and no one was in there. To her luck Steven's gem was just sitting on his bed surrounded by pillows like they were waiting for an egg to hatch.

"I have to be able to fix this. He can't be gone forever." Amethyst gently took his gem and went out the door. "There must be something that can fix this." Amethyst stood out on the porch.

"Hey." Jamie the mailman walked closer to the temple not getting Amethyst's attention. "Purple lady with the long hair." Jamie yelled catching her attention.

"Me?" Amethyst pointed to herself.

"Yeah, you." Jamie walked up the steps.

"Can I help you?" Amethyst didn't have time to talk to this human.

"Have you seen Steven?" Jamie questioned holding a package for him.

"Uh, no." Amethyst hid his gem behind her back.

"He ordered this super hero cape. It just came in today and I thought he'd be waiting for me." Jamie thought out loud.

"He must have just forgot about it." Amethyst rolled her eyes.

"I guess he is busy fighting aliens." Jamie laughed a little.

"Aliens?" Amethyst questioned.

"Isn't that what you are?" Jamie remembered doing that play with Steven.

"We are crystal gems." Amethyst was a little offended, but they were basically aliens.

"Right. Can you give this package to Steven when you see him." Jamie held out the package.

"Sure." Amethyst grabbed it.

"Have a good day purple lady." Jamie waved goodbye.

"Uh, whatever." Amethyst set the package down and walked out to under the docks again.

Amethyst was determined to get Steven back. She caused all of this. She didn't know how she was going to him back, but she was going to get him back.

"Steven, I'm sorry." Amethyst held his gem so gently in her hand. "You have helped me a lot. We are the only gems like each other." Amethyst smiled remembering their first time fusing. "You were the one to help me back up. You had my back. I was trying to protect you from something I didn't know about." Amethyst frowned.

With Garnet and Pearl…

"Do you think we were too hard on her?" Pearl questioned while walking beside Garnet.

"She just needs some time alone. I want to see her and make sure she is okay, but she is independent." Garnet was very proud on how far Amethyst has come.

"I just feel so bad. I mean I was hesitant when Rose came back with her. I didn't want anything to happen to Rose." Pearl frowned.

"Of course we were hesitant. She was from the kindergarten and not many "good" gems came from there. Amethyst is one of a kind." Garnet smiled remembering the day Amethyst warmed up to them.

"She really thinks we never wanted her to join the crystal gems." Pearl twiddled her thumbs.

"She is wrong. Rose always knew what was best and now look at us. Amethyst is a huge part of the crystal gems. She may not always be responsible, but we need her." Garnet stopped walking.

"Steven really looks up to her." Pearl said while looking at Garnet.

"He really does. She is the "fun" one. Steven needs to have some fun once in a while. He is already so mature." Garnet took off her shades.

"We really need to find her. She won't take care of herself." Pearl stated.

"She is very strong. I'm sure she can manage." Garnet knew how strong Amethyst is, mentally and physically.

"She hates us right now." Pearl was very upset.

"She doesn't hate us. She is worried about Steven." Garnet looked down at Pearl.

"You know something. We use to be so close. I was like her older sister. We did everything together. Once Rose left, she changed. She became more to herself and we grew a part." Pearl wiped some of the tears that were falling down her face.

"She lost someone who understood her. She lost someone who was always there for her. We all did. We all suffered in many ways when Rose died." Garnet softly spoke.

"I was there for her." Pearl felt bad.

"You weren't there when Rose was gone. I wasn't there much either." Garnet now had tears building up.

"I guess I was so busy with the lost of Rose I never saw how she felt." Pearl had tears dripping down her face.

"We need to find her and talk to her." Garnet hugged Pearl.

"I thought she needed to be alone." Pearl was confused.

"She needs someone. We are not losing her." Garnet pulled away from Pearl and put back on her shades.

"Where could she be?" Pearl questioned.

"She isn't here. We checked her hole." Garnet frowned.

"She could have gone back to the Temple." Pearl was unsure.

"It's worth a try. We should check on Steven's gem as well." Garnet gestured her hand to the direction of the warp pad.

With Amethyst…

"Steven, please come back. No one will hurt you. I will protect you." Amethyst was hurt. She couldn't stand knowing she was the reason why he was poofed. She didn't even know if he could come back. "What am I going to tell Greg? He is still upset with me for shape shifting into Rose." Amethyst frowned. "What am I going to do?" Amethyst sighed as she laid back on a rock under the dock with Steven's gem on her chest.
