"You did amazing, My little Y/n," Rose Quartz told as she sat down with Y/n sitting in her lap. She brushed Y/n's hair softly to comfort them

"I didn't really do anything," Y/n sighed

"You stood up to one of the most feared Gems in all of the universe," Rose Quartz told, "You held your own against Jasper, you comforted Lapis Lazuli in her time of need. That doesn't sound like nothing to me,"

"Am I dead?" Y/n tilted their head back to look up at Rose Quartz

"No, silly. Quiet the opposite," Rose Quartz told, "I do understand this may seem surreal,"

"Surreal is an understatement," Y/n laughed a bit, "Kind of surprised I'm still alive, to be honest,"

"My little Y/n, it's because you're strong," Rose Quartz said

"Thanks, but I don't think will power is what saved me from a two hundred thousand foot drop," Y/n said

"No, I meant strong in the physical way," Rose Quartz told, "With the powers I gave you and your training, that is how you survived, as well as Lapis Lazuli holding onto you, she absorb the shook from the fall,"

"Lapis... God, I hope she's okay," Y/n sighed

"In the end, it will all be okay," Rose Quartz assured

"What about the time in between?" Y/n asked

"I only know so much," Rose Quartz told, "It's up to you to find out,"

"I can do that... I think," Y/n said as they rested their head against Rose Quartz's chest

"I know you can," Rose Quartz smiled, "You can do anything you set your mind to,"

"I hope you're right," Y/n said

"You will see for yourself," Rose Quartz assured, "But for now, you should relax. You've earned it,"

"Where's Steven?" Y/n asked as they trudged down the stairs from Steven's loft

"Oh, Y/n! You shouldn't be up," Pearl said as she came to the stairs to meet Y/n

"I'm fine," Y/n assured, "Where is he?"

"He and Connie... are having a moment down at the beach," Pearl told

"A good moment or a bad one?" Y/n asked

"It started off bad..." Pearl told, "But I think they've worked it out," Pearl said as she peaked out the window

"Huh, I guess I wasn't asleep too long," Y/n said as they looked at the moon in the sky

"Oh no. You've been asleep for twenty one hours," Pearl told

"...What?" Y/n asked in surprise

"Almost a full day, I checked on you several times to make sure you were still breathing," Pearl explained, "You didn't make it easy whenever you rolled onto your stomach and face,"

"Yeah, man. You were out for the whole day," Amethyst told

"Did you try and wake me?" Y/n asked

"Yes, several times. You were unresponsive, but still breathing. We assumed you were just tired," Pearl said

"Sounds like I was in a mini coma," Y/n chuckled

"So, you said you had so much you needed to tell us," Pearl reminded
