"I've done a thousand sketches of your wedding dress, but what do you want it to look like?" Steven asked. "Well I think I want a tuxedo dress" I shrugged. "So like this?" Steven asked.

"Yeah! With my hair like what though?" I asked as Steven grabbed my hair and tried a bunch of different styles

"Yes! God, I can't believe the wedding is today!" I said excitedly

"Yes! God, I can't believe the wedding is today!" I said excitedly. "I'll get my dad to hire a dress maker and a hair up doer" Steven said as Greg burst through the door with some other people. "Tada! Introducing Tori , Rita and Evan! Tori is a outfit maker for weddings and Evan makes your hair looks nice for weddings and Rita makes your makeup look great! Action now!" Greg said as the people quickly set up and brought me to a step with a woman. "Hi there Opal! I'm Tori and I'll be making your outfit for the wedding! What did you have in mind?" Tori asked as I showed her Steven's drawing. "Can you do that?" I asked. "I think I have something like that in stock! What about this?" Tori showed me a purple velvet tuxedo with a white dress underneath. It had a black bow tie, and I loved it. "Oh my stars, it's perfect!" I gasped, fingering the velvet. "I knew you'd like it! Now go over to Evan so he can make your hair look lovely" Tori moved me over to Evan, who sat me down. "Hello darling, now tell me, how do you want your hair?" Evan asked. "I want a messy hair style, but it still seems nice" I shrugged. "Going for the natural look are you? Good choice, I've always thought glam was a bit too much for this world. Now who's the lucky lady or man?" Evan asked. "Woman, plural. We're going to be married today. It's a little hard to explain but I love them both so much" I said smiling. "I can see the admiration in your eyes as you speak of them. Right darling, you're done, what do you think?" Evan showed me what I looked like in the mirror. "I look...not hideous" I said surprised. "Not even close baby panda, now go over to Rita so she can do your makeup and then you're good to go okay hon?" I tried to not laugh at "baby panda" and "hon. He steered me over to Rita and she started to do my makeup. "I can see what you want, it's in your eyes" Rita smiled as I laughed. When she was done, we all looked at the finished look and I loved it. Adored it even. "Now you people must go and the wedding is just about to start. Steven brought in a rainbow person so she'll be joining us too for the wedding. Ruby is allowed to see you so you should go to your room . It's January 3rd people, cheer up!" Greg cheered. "Thanks Greg and everyone else!" I said as I warped to my room. "Ruby?" I called out as I saw her at the bottom of a cliff, swinging her legs as she sat on the side of it. "Hey Ruby, I love your dress" I said as Ruby looked around at me speechless. "Hey, come on, don't look at me like that, I don't look that bad, do I?" I laughed nervously. "What? No no no! You look beautiful! And I don't think there's a better adjective to describe you right now. You look wonderful, spectacular, best thing I've seen all day" Ruby blushed nervously. "Hey you, don't act so nervous, what's up?" I asked, flicking her nose. "It's just..I don't know if this is the right thing to do. I mean, we're using a human tradition to fix our problems" Ruby said. "Aw come on, humans aren't that bad" I teased. "They must be pretty good to make someone like you" Ruby smiled up at me as I began to kiss her. "Now let's get to that wedding" I smiled down at her. "As long as you hold my hand" Ruby smiled. "Aw you baby" I teased, laughing and taking her hand and warping back. "You and Sapphire will do your sweet worlds first, and then you'll transform into Garnet and do your sweet words with me" I said, as we went outside. We looked down and there was Sapphire in her outfit, blushing at our outfits. Ruby and I looked at each other, saw Sapphire and had a lovely expression on both of our faces. Ruby quickly grabbed my hand again and raced down the stairs, while I laughed as she zoomed over to Sapphire, hand in hand with me. "Dearly beloved gems, humans, lions big and small, living gords, Onion. We are gathered here today to celebrate, Ruby and Sapphire and Opal. Three of my favourite people, who Ruby and Sapphire combine into one of my other favourite people! You might all know her as Garnet, she is their love, given form. First, it's Ruby and Sapphire turn to talk about that" Steven said smiling. "I know this is all kind of silly, I mean you and I, Sapphire, have been together for five thousand, seven hundred and fifty years" Ruby smiled. "And eight months" Sapphire smiled. "I used to feel I wasn't much good just one of me on my own, but, when we're together, it feels like it's okay to just be me, so, I wanna be me with you! And not even the Diamonds will come between us! And if they do, we'll beat them up!" Ruby said, doing a karate kick to the air as Sapphire and I laughed. "Ruby, my future used to look like one, single, obvious stream unbending until the end of time. In a instant, you pulled me from that destiny and opened my eye to an explosion of infinite possible futures, streaking across space and time, altered and obliterated with the smallest voice of will! What I mean is, you changed my life, and then I changed your life, and now, we change our lives" Sapphire said, holding Ruby's hand. "Bismuth, the rings!" Steven called. "Hey Bismuth, that's your queue!" Amethyst said to a tearful Bismuth, who handed Ruby and Sapphire the rings. They out the rings on each other and looked each other lovingly. "Ruby, do you take this gem to have and to hold on this and every other planet in the universe?" Steven asked. "I do!" Ruby said smiling. "And Sapphire, do you-" Steven started. "Yes" Sapphire interrupted as I laughed lovingly. "You didn't let me finish!" Steven whispered. "I'm just very excited" Sapphire smiled. "Then by the power invested in me by the state of Delmarva, I now pronounce you Garnet!" Steven said as Ruby and Sapphire kissed, and then Ruby swung Sapphire and around and they fused. "Ah flop now I feel like a third wheel" I said, rubbing the back of my neck in awkwardness and blushing. "Not for long" Garnet smiled down at me. "Are you gonna go first?" I asked. "Opal, I never thought I'd want another relationship, I thought since I was a relationship, I couldn't have another one. But then I met you, beautiful, kind, talented and fun! I couldn't help myself. I fell hopelessly in love with you, and I am sure you fell in love with me too" Garnet made a short but sweet speech. "Garnet, you are right about my love for you. I know both of us have never believed in love at first sight, but maybe this might have changed your mind. I ask myself everyday how you manage to stick around me all day, with you laughing at my bad jokes and my awkwardness, I honestly thought after everything that had happened I could never love again but I did, and I will for the end of time" I smiled up at her. "I now pronounce you wife and wife!" Steven smiled as Garnet and I kissed and fused into Opnet. The wedding after party was amazing. As Opnet, we threw the flowers up into the sky, now they were somewhere in space. We unfused after a while and danced with each other, laughing at my bad jokes and smiling at each other for no apparent reason. We looked over at Steven by the drinks and I nudged Garnet, edging for her to go over there. I went over to Addie and surprised her. "Addie!" I yelled as I picked her up. "Opal!" Addie laughed as I hugged her close. "Oh god, what a day huh? I got married today! I can't quite believe it yet" I laughed. "No I can't either, I always knew you were a hit with the ladies and men but you got a space rock to love you?! You really deserve her Opal, I can see she loves you so much" Addie smiled. "Aw shucks, you're making me blush" I laughed while blushing. I suddenly looked over at Steven, who was surprised he was crying tears. I looked over at Garnet with the same expression, and she suddenly put Steven down and ran in front of me and Addie. "Addie, be quiet" I said, seeing she was hugging my leg like she did when she was scared. She could still do it surprisingly well, but since she was Steven's height I shook it off my shoulders. "I can only reach the cluster when I'm asleep" Steven yelled. "Asleep?!" Bismuth yelled back as we all raced inside. Steven laid down on the bed and tried to get to sleep. "Ah it's no use, I can't sleep through this!" Steven yelled. "Maybe a lullaby will help" Greg said , playing a lullaby. "I don't think that ' s gonna-" Connie started as Steven snored in his sleep. "Geez, I wish I could sleep right now" I said. "It popped!" Steven exclaimed as we all raced outside. Ghosts came out from the ground and I shivered. "Um, ghosts like that I fear greatly" I said as Garnet put her arms around my waist. There was a siren as we all looked at the giant Cluster hand. The Cluster hand suddenly punched Yellow's ship and I cheered. "Alright! Looks like it's in control of itself, and it's on our side!" Steven said smiling. Steven, Connie, Addie and I cheered as the Cluster arm wrestled with Yellow. There was suddenly a giant hand above us and Garnet pushed me and Addie towards the door. "You two are the most valuable here to Blue and Yellow Diamond, apart from Steven so please go inside" Garnet said gently kissing me as I opened the door and hurried Addie inside. Greg came in and we looked outside of the window and saw the scene outside. After a lot of talking, Garnet stepped towards Blue Diamond, talking to her. Suddenly, the barn crashed down from the sky and Garnet jumped over to the others as Blue screamed. Lapis cam down from the building and I forgot I was supposed to be in hiding, I immediately took off with Addie's hand in mine. I fell down from the stairs and hugged Lapis, who gave me the flowers Opnet had thrown so high that day. "You came back!" I gasped. "I couldn't stay away. If they're gonna punish me like a Crystal Gem, I might as well be one, right? Got room for one more?" Lapis asked. "Of course" I smiled as I hugged him, tears pouring down from my face. "Save the hugs for after the fight, look alive!" Bismuth said. "Lapis Lazuli! Does every gem that comes in contact with this planet turn traitor?!" Blue yelled, using her power. "Oh the irony in that statement" I said, rolling my eyes as for some reason I got tears in my eyes too. "What?!" Blue asked as she saw Lapis and I were standing. "I've felt worse" Lapis said, wiping away a tear. "Blue, stop now" I narrowed my eyes. "You are being brainwashed, can't you see?! Serenity would-" Blue started. "Serenity would be proud of me" I said annoyed. "Why would she do that?" Blue yelled. "Where do you think she went when she went back to Earth?" I asked. "Enough!" Blue threw a power ball at me and I got knocked back. Lapis got mad and started using her water powers. "Knock her off this beach" Lapis yelled. "Now's our chance! Shall we?" Garnet held out her hand to me as I got up. "We shall" I smiled as we did a little dance routine and fused into Opnet. "With all our strength together we can take her down!" Garnet's side said. "That's right! This is our home! Our planet! Our friends and family! We are the Crystal Gems!" Steven said, summoning his shield. Opnet did a little dance and summoned her weapon, which was a giant hammer which could shapeshifted into a sword. "You are nothing!" Blue said, shooting many power things but Steven made a big shield and we all helped him make it stay. Blue stopped using her powers and we all attacked her. "Everyone, group up!" Steven said with Peridot in Blue's face. Lapis surrounded us with water as we all attacked her once again, knocking down to her knees. We all looked at the Cluster, who had beat Yellow's ship as Yellow's ship landed on Blue's ship and supposedly crushed Blue Diamond. "The house!" Pearl yelled as a part of Blue's ship crashed into the house. "Don't worry I can fix it!" Bismuth said smiling. "My dad!" Steven yelled. Greg came outside of the house and stumbled towards us. "Did we do it?" Connie asked as we all looked at the Cluster, who gave us a thumbs up as Steven gave it some praise as it went back into its bubble. "So that is a wedding reception, nice job wedding planner" Garnet's side said, as my side put a hand on Steven's head. Addie came up and hugged us. Everyone started talking but I couldn't help looking at the ships. Garnet fused with me again quickly.
Is everything alright?
Are they really gone?
I think so, and if they aren't, we can handle it, together
Aw I love you and your inspirational speeches
I smiled at my makers' conversation, knowing how much they loved each other. Suddenly, Yellow Diamond came out of her ship and helped Blue up. "Heh, I told her off once, I can do it again! Hey Yellow Clod, remember me?!" Peridot yelled. "No" Yellow replied and poofed Peridot. "Peri!" My side cried. "What is that monstrosity?" Yellow asked Blue. "Excuse me?" I asked them, glaring viciously. "That is our Hazel fused with a fusion of two foolish gems" Blue said as Yellow sighed in disgust. "Why Serenity? Just why?" Yellow sighed. "Stop! Look I'm the one you're missing, I'm Pink Diamond!" Steven yelled. "You!" Yellow yelled angrily as we all screamed as she squished Steven. "No no no no! Steven!" I cried as we unfused and I ran towards him. "Get them!" Garnet yelled as they all started fighting, except Addie, Connie and I, who stayed with Steven. "Steven wake up please!" Connie and Addie cried into his hand.
I can't loose another loved one, I just can't!
Opal?
Steven! Where are you? How are you-
I don't know but I can talk to you, I think I'm in your head
Wherever you are, try to speak to the Diamonds
Okay, I can see their minds from here, bye Opie
Good luck out there Steven
I looked up at Garnet, who was fighting so much. Suddenly, the Diamonds stopped fighting and looked at Steven. He opened his eyes and my eyes filled his tears. "Steven you did it!" I cried. "It's you! Pink!" Blue said.s
