"You couldn't have made me prouder, My little Y/n," Rose Quartz smiled and hugged Y/n tight
"I'm glad... I guess that excitement is finally over," Y/n chuckled as they hugged back
"There is still more to come... Though it may seem scary, I want you to know you have me always by your side. As well as Steven and the rest of the Gems, they will help you," Rose Quartz told, "And you will help them,"
"Well, I'm hardened at this point," Y/n said, "I'm ready for whatever Homeworld as to throw at me,"
"I hope you're correct," Rose Quartz said, "Be strong for me, My little Y/n. Be strong for the Earth,"
"I wouldn't have it any other way," Y/n said, "...These months may have been completely terrifying, but they are so so exciting!"
"Yes, they have been for me as well," Rose Quartz said, "Remember to stay vigilant. Keep the weapon the police chief gave to you,"
"Can do," Y/n nodded

"Can we look yet?" Steven asked as he and Y/n covered their eyes while Connie prepared something from her bag
"Okay, go ahead," Connie said
"BOOOOKS!" Steven gasped, "Whoa, cool cover!"
"Huh, Unfamiliar Familiar," Y/n said, "I read that last summer. It's a great series,"
"I know, right?!" Connie cheered, "It's my favorite series! It's about this girl named Lisa and she's a witch! - I mean, she doesn't know she's a witch at first, and she has a familiar, which is sorta like this spirit companion that everyone in the world has. And hers is a talking falcon named Archimicarus! Anyways she goes on this quest to find her father after he's kidnapped by the mysterious one-eyed man,"
"Whoa, mystery!" Steven smiled
"Here! Lemme get you started! Ahem," Connie cleared her throat, "Chapter One: The Morning Thief. Lisa awoke with a start, the echoes of her dreams still dancing in her mind, the low rumble of thunder murmured through the quiet house- " Suddenly, a sound of something shooting off disturbed Connie's reading. Y/n frowned as they looked up at the sky then to the temple
"Wooah, this is a really good book!" Steven cheered
"Uh... okay," Connie frowned as she continued reading, "The house was deathly still. The only sound Lisa could hear was her own heartbeat pounding in her ears. The hairs on her neck tingled when suddenly-"
"Guys, we've gotta move!" Y/n warned as they ushered Steven and Connie away from the beach. An odd large marble like object dropped into the ocean and sent a large splash of water onto the beach, barley getting the three wet since Y/n moved them out of the way in time
"What the-" Steven frowned as he looked back at the water
"What was that?" Amethyst called out as she exited the temple
"One of the marble robots!" Y/n told as the aforementioned robot rolled onto the shore and sprouted seven legs
"What?" Connie frowned in confusion
Suddenly, the robot began approaching Y/n and Steven, but Garnet jumped in front of the robot and stopped it, "Amethyst! Pearl!" Both the Gems jumped down from above and destroy the machine, causing it to splatter everywhere. Steven formed a bubble around him, Connie, and Y/n and save them from the oncoming goo.
"You guys okay?" Steven asked
"All good," Y/n gave a thumbs up
"I love hanging out at your place!" Connie cheered
