Again, Jasper found herself reforming. As she became aware of her surroundings, she saw that she was being held back to a seat; the defective amethyst in front of her. Before she can rip through the whips holding her captive, Amethyst begins to speak up.

"Why can't you understand? The life on this planet, it's amazing. It doesn't deserve to die. But maybe you don't see it. I don't blame you. It would be hard to appreciate something that you have learned to hate your whole life. Think about what I said earlier. Ruby and Sapphire had no feelings for this planet when they arrived. As Garnet, they fought so they could exist as her. They needed a place where they could live in peace. Over time, they- she grew to love the planet."

Then, Jasper spoke finally broken, "FINE! I cave! I give in. You win! I can't go on like this. Every day! Always trying to stay on top. It's too tiring! Why didn't you just let me DIE!"

Jasper, having been freed from the chair, fell on her knees and began to cry.

"Are you happy now. I have reached my lowest point. What are you going to do now? Force me to fight?"

"Look, Jasper," Amethyst says.

"I know what it's like to feel like to be like you are. Heck, you brought me to it. A bit of a role reversal, huh?" she remarks.

"You know what, Amethyst, I have nothing else left for me, on Homeworld, or here, if the one with Rose's gem truly isn't Rose herself, " Jasper says, her eyes now dry. "One week though, then I leave. Don't know where or how, but I'll leave."

"One week is all I need. Come on, I think I know who can help."

"Her! She called my diamond a clod!"

"Oh come on! It will be fun," Amethyst retorts. Turning to the new barn entrance, one near the lighthouse. Amethyst exclaims, "Hey Peri! I found you a new barn mate!"

"Mhm. And who is this new gem who will share my reside-," Peridot stops, looking up at Jasper.

"Ah, Jasper. You look great. I see that all signs of corruption have disappeared. I hope you enjoy your stay at Camp Peridot®"

"I promised Amethyst that I'd stay here for a week. Go ahead, convince me to stay for longer."

So Peridot dragged Jasper all around town, Amethyst following behind. Peridot first takes everyone to FunLand. After Peridot tries and fails to win another alien, Jasper takes the rings and lands every last one. Mr. Smiley then proceeds to hand Jasper the plush.

"So," Jasper says, looking at the toy, "What's the purpose of this?"

"It's an alien! It's funny because we are aliens here," replies Peridot.

Jasper, confused, continues to go around town, Amethyst and Peridot sharing their experiences with Jasper as they walk around Beach City. Going from the arcade to the convenience store to the hotel's pool. (Jasper didn't really want to be near the water, so they quickly left). Afterwards, they went back to the temple, Steven waving at the trio, Garnet and Pearl standing behind him.

"You're back! Enjoy the sightseeing?" Steven asked, his voice lidden with enthusiasm.

"Yes. The time was most enjoyable," said Peridot.

"Now you three didn't get into to much trouble, did you?" asks Pearl.

"Jeez Pearl, we can handle ourselves," retorts Amethyst.

The trio enters the house, Amethyst plopping down onto the couch, passing out. Peridot temporarily retreats into the bathroom to take a nap as well. Pearl eyes Jasper suspiciously, which makes the orange gem uncomfortable. Garnet had gone to her room to inspect the bubbled gems. Jasper sits at the counter, thinking about the day that had passed. As she was thinking it over, she found herself smiling. She shuffles to her feet. At that moment, Garnet leaves her room, asking Jasper if she wanted to spar. Despite feeling that the fusion had no intentions of fighting, Jasper agrees to tag along.

After stepping off the warp pad, Jasper found herself in the Strawberry battlefield. Looking around, she could still see small fragments of gems; friend and foe alike.

Turning to Garnet, Jasper asked her why she was brought here.

"As you probably already know I wanted to talk. I want you to know that I will at least support you. You do not have to feel as if you need to constantly be at the top. The people at the top may have the spotlight, but when they burn up, the rest of us are already in the shade."

Just when Jasper was about to respond, Garnet speaks again, "If I were to stop here, I know you say how you don't have to like Rose, and how she's a coward for hiding in a human. I am not asking you to like Rose. I don't expect you to understand Steven's existence. I want you to know, whether you leave or stay, all of us will accept you.

Jasper was stunned. She had never heard anything like that before. Sure she was praised by more rubies and other small foot soldiers than she could count. But this, while not all praising was genuine. Nobody was genuine to her before. It was either insult (which never lasted long for the insulter) or praise from followers whom she didn't care for. She didn't plan on staying before, but she knows that she doesn't have anywhere to go.

"Thank you, Garnet, for what you said, It's been a long time since I've heard something genuine," Replied Jasper.

'Don't worry, I knew this would happen," says Garnet, peering over her visor.

Jasper and Garnet stepped back onto the warp pad. They were welcomed by everyone exclaiming, "We're the same now!" Jasper was overjoyed. She never knew what it felt like to be loved. She was sure that here time here, no matter long it may be, would be enjoyable. She was surrounded, for once, by people who truly cared for her. In a way, she was glad she got corrupted because if she didn't, she wouldn't be here right now. Sure, she didn't like Rose; or fully understand the Crystal Gems, but that didn't matter to her right now. Nothing could ruin this day for her...

Then, a shadow of a ball of water appeared over the beach; it was followed by a gem with wings.

A/N Thank you for reading this story! Sorry, this update took a long time. I was planning to do home life with Jasper, but I have other stories in mind. I do plan to eventually do a sequel to this. Any future updates will probably be me touching up or combining chapters. This will most likely be posted on ao3 under the same name, so it is still me. Hope you enjoyed. Thank you for all of your nice reviews, I started this story as a joke with my friend, but I plan to make more stories. Thanks for the support!
