By the way, where are the Diamonds right now?
*sniffles* I-I haven't the foggiest idea, they only said they were gonna take a "well-deserved vacation".
*sarcastically* Oh, sure. After destroying hundreds of planets and Gems over millennia, anyone would be tired and want to take a "well-deserved vacation".
I see. Then I'll contact the Diamonds later, I'll tell them they have to deal with all this.
What?!
Homeworld is their home, so they are the ones who have to deal with that problem. *waves goodbye* See you later, guys. *goes for a walk around Little Homeschool*
Is he really our Steven? The Steven I know would've left immediately to help the Homeworld Gems.
And he didn't even stick around for his party.
Too bad.
*turns to Garnet with concern* What do you make of all this? Should we take action or not?
Hmm, I think Steven's right. We defected from Homeworld a long time ago, it's not our duty to protect it just because it's changed.
That's true. It's not like Homeworld doesn't have thousands of Gems in its ranks, right? Besides, the Diamonds are the most powerful beings in the universe. Pfft! Those Gems don't stand a chance.
Yeah. Don't worry about Homeworld, they can take care of themselves.
*not quite convinced* I think... you guys are right.
[At the same time.]
(In a dimly-lit room of Homeworld Palace, Bluebird is on her knees before three Gems who scold her for her incompetence.)
It's been days since we took over the palace!
*enraged* Why the hell did you wait till now to tell us all this, you moron?!?!
I-I'm so sorry! It's just... it slipped my mind.
How the hell could something this important have slipped your mind?!
I thought Aquamarine's memory was perfect.
It is, but... Ruby's isn't.

I can't believe two Gems doesn't equal one!!
Bluebird, you messed up big time.
Indeed.
I want you to give us ONE reason not to shatter you right now!!
*in fear* Well, I, uh...
Just one, Bluebird.
Yeah, we didn't ask you for that many.
I-I-I know that my Ruby side isn't very... efficient, it even detracts from my Aquamarine side, but... *begs in terror and tears* I'll do anything to make up for my mistake! I beg you to give me a second chance! I'll show you I'm useful! But please don't shatter me, guys!
Heh, look. She believed us.
So I see.
Wait, what?
Even if you've screwed up, you can still be useful.
That's why we're not going to shatter you.
But you said-
*chuckles* Don't freak out, we were just kidding.
*laughs* I got a kick out of watching you beg us and scream "please don't shatter me, guys!" *laughs*
I know, right? *snorts and chuckles* Oh, Azurite, you should've seen the look of terror on your face! *laughing* It was priceless!
*relieved* Whew, you scared the heck out of me. Thank goodness you guys were just kiddin-
I WASN'T KIDDING!!! Bluebird, you were so stupid to let a puny, cracked Pearl get away!!
*frightened* I-I-I already told you that a sneaky, nimble Gem kept me from taking out the Pearl! But, I think we can still intercept the pod and destroy it!
You fool! It's too late now!
That's true. Escape pods aren't as fast as ships, but the Pearl has almost certainly reached her destination by now.
You-You're right! What do you think her destination is?
No idea.
Most likely Earth.
Earth?
If so, that Pearl will have told Steven all about us by now.
So? He was going to find out someday anyway, wasn't he?

You don't understand anything, do you!?!
Huh?
It wasn't in our best interest for him to find out about us!
At least not yet, it wasn't the right time.
I think so too.
Now because of your ineptitude we'll probably have to rethink the situation!
*shivering in fear* S-S-Sorry!
For your sake, I hope what we had lined up for today goes well! if it doesn't, you're dead!
Wait a sec, what are you talking about?
: *shouts* Hey you, come on in!!
(The silhouette of a Gem in pigtails enters through the door.)
No way! It's you!
Hope you're ready for this.
I am, ma'am.
Considering her background and how well we trained her, it's certain that she'll be able to fulfill this assignment.
With Bluebird's statement it is more than proven.
I had my doubts because of the type of Gem she is, but I think you're right. Still, let's not forget that Bluebird's screw-up can be a serious drawback.
Don't fret, we just have to trust her.
Yep.
*bows* I thank you for trusting me.
Well then, go!
Right away! *leaves the room*
Hey, why am I the only one who doesn't know what you guys are talking about? Tell me!
No, you'd just screw it up.

The Girl Named Rino
Oh. Hello. I didn't see you come in. No, don't worry. I don't need to hear your name. I already know what it is. I also knew that you'd come up at around this time. But, at the same time, I also didn't know. It's very hard to put into words - but that's what happens when you become the Chaos God. Your psyche gets messed up, big time. That's even more so for me, who was already warped enough to confuse reality with imagination - and, even make the rest of the universe believe that it was so. But, enough about me. Let's talk about you. You seem to come from a very far away land. It's faint, but your presence is there - in a relatively primitive planet. No wonder, no one wanted to stay in, or conquer your region of the universe - there's nothing worth controlling there. Your existence, much like your entire solar system, also seems to be pretty insignificant. Tell me, is your race capable of destroying your own world? Oh, you're already well along the way? Global Warming? Pollution? Overpopulation? Nuclear weapons? Wow... it's been many millenia since I'd last heard of such ancient concepts from someone who is actually living through it. Still, good job getting that far. That means that your world is now, at least, worth considering as a possible place to install a World System. If I find the time, I'll try surveying it. You can just thank me, later. Oh wait! What kind of person am I, not even offering my guest any hospitality. I'm ashamed. Please, take a seat. What would you like? I have everything the multiverse has to offer, whatever it is you want - I can get. Ah! After we talk, would you mind, if I asked you to do me a tiny favor? There's this girl, I want to keep tabs on. She's in one of the Worlds that I preside over, it's called Aiarthe. But, for some reason, I can't see her - not directly, at least. All I need you to do, is check up on her from time to time. Whether you do it as a pure spectator or through someone else's eyes, is entirely up to you. Really!? You would!? Wow! Thanks! You really did me, a huge solid there! For agreeing so quickly, how about I get started on surveying that planet of yours, right now!? You can help yourself, to anything in the fridge! Well, see ya!

MMORPG: THE FALLEN
12th March 6023 AD Mars Military Academy Class D-3 "...got it?
