"We'll miss you Spinel!" Called White Diamond as she, Blue, and Yellow boarded their huge ship, designed to look like a fusion of all three of them. "Oh, and have fun!" Blue Diamond yelled before they entered the ship and it flew away, too quickly for the human eye to see.

Spinel stared at the place their ship had stayed for a moment before turning back to Steven, Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl.

"Hello, Spinel." Pearl said, in a calm voice. breaking the growing silence. Garnet nodded politely and Amethyst, in a jokingly formal way, sauntered over, shook Spinel's hand, and said, "Pleasure to reunite with you, Spinel."

Spinel let out a small chuckle before pulling her arm back. "Hey.." She said awkwardly. She still wasn't totally comfortable just "hanging out", as the people called it, with gems she had tried to kill just three months ago. The Crystal Gems didn't seem completely at ease either, even though they knew Spinel had changed.

Steven ran over and hugged her, snapping her out of her thoughts. "Hey, Spinel!" He said. Spinel smiled gratefully. She didn't mind the hug, even though she would've preferred less touching. But at the same time, it felt nice.

"I'm glad the Diamonds let you stay with us! There's a spare room in the Beach House, it's for you, although Gems don't need sleep really." Steven explained. Spinel could've sworn he was blushing, but her thoughts were cut short as Steven quickly grabbed her hand and half led half dragged her up the stairs into her room. Spinel remembered those stairs. Steven once took her down the stairs only to find the gems were ready to attack her. Spinel decided she didn't like the stairs.

Her room had a beige wall and light gray carpeted floors. A bed was in the top left corner. On the left wall, there was a desk and chair with some paper and pencils neatly stacked, and on the right, a tall bookshelf. It was simple, and charming. The north wall had a huge window, and a glass door leading out into a small, cozy balcony. Golden sunlight streamed into the room. Spinel stepped out onto the balcony, feeling the cool, salty breeze ruffle her pigtails. It felt nice.

She rested her head on her hands, her elbows sitting on the wooden rail. She smiled and was happy everything was so peaceful. Steven walked up next to her. She only knew this because she heard the glass door open and close. He stood, staring out into the open ocean. He subconsciously shifted his gaze to Spinel.

He felt such pity for her. Her depressed, crazed state.. it was gone now, of course, but he still felt horrible thinking about it. She was so powerful, so frightening, so.. so evil. She nearly destroyed the entire world and every organic thing in it with no remorse whatsoever. It was a good thing she was talked out of it, but if she hadn't have been... Steven didn't want to think about it.

Everything was peaceful now, that's what mattered. Spinel opened her eyes and started at Steven for a moment, surprised to see him looking at her. He quickly, non suspiciously, turned his gaze away as of it never had happened. Spinel still didn't understand some of the things humans did. She dropped one of her hands onto the wooden railing before sighing and walking back inside.

She only realized how humid it was when she felt the cool air-conditioning hit her skin. Steven walked back inside too. "I hope you like it, the room." He muttered. "I do." Spinel said, sitting on the bed, a book in hand. Steven didn't recall that one being in the bookshelf. "Hey, what book is that?"

"Oh, this?" Asked Spinel. "Just some book the Diamonds gave me. Quite entertaining. I can see why you humans like books so much." Steven laughed to himself quietly as Spinel shifted her gaze back to the book, eyes scanning each page. Steven nodded and left the room.

Bismuth had been busy rebuilding the destroyed part of Little Homeworld, and it was in very good shape. It looked like it did right before 'original' Spinel had accidentally destroyed it. "Bismuth and the others have done a pretty good job." Steven said to himself. He decided to pay them a visit, and bring some donuts, to thank them for their hard work.

Spinel realized him leaving and flinched. It had been a long time since Pink had abandoned her, but she couldn't stand being alone for more than an hour. She watched Steven leave from her balcony. He picked up some donuts and them brought them to the Little Homeworld, most likely for Bismuth, Peridot, and Lapis Lazuli.
