- Steven! - Garnet! Is it morning already? It's midnight.

Happy birthday, Steven.

Oh, man, are you finally gonna tell me that you're a fusion of the Gems Ruby and Sapphire like you promised? You already know about all that, Steven.

It's true.

But what you don't know is how Ruby and Sapphire first met.

O-M-G! I don't! The Earth, 5,750 years ago.

It was a promising site of a new Gem colony, but progress was being thwarted by a small persistent group of rebels.

A team of diplomatic Gems were sent from Homeworld to investigate.

Among those Gems was Sapphire, a rare aristocratic Homeworld Gem with the power to see into the future.

Assigned to her were three Rubies - Hup! - Hup! - Hey! common soldiers with a mission to protect her.

Hey, can't wait for those rebels to get here.

Yeah.

When I see those rebels, I'm gonna punch them right in their faces.

- What are you saying? - I'm gonna punch them all over their bodies, and then it'll be over.

- What if I just punch you? - Ow! Oh, come on.

We'll punch them together when we fuse.

- That's why they sent, uh, three of us.

- Three this! Oh, I, um, I'm so sorry, I - Let me, uh - I'm fine.

- What? - It's okay.

It was bound to happen.

I oh.

Okay.

Now, please wait here.

I must attend to my duties.

- Right.

- Yes.

Sapphire had been called to Earth by Blue Diamond specifically to share her vision of the future.

My Diamond, I've arrived.

Blue Diamond spoke.

"Sapphire, tell me what will happen here.

" I foresee the rebels attacking the cloud arena.

Before they are cornered, they will destroy the physical forms of seven Gems, including two of my Ruby guards and myself.

Immediately after my form is destroyed, the rebels will be captured.

The rebellion ends here.

"Thank you, Sapphire," Blue Diamond said, relieved.

"That's all I needed to know.

" I look forward to speaking with you again once I reform back on Homeworld.

Sapphire knew she would be a casualty, but it did not faze her.

She saw her whole life laid out before her, and she had already accepted all of it.

What a beautiful place to build a colony.

I wish I could have seen more of this planet.

Uh, there's still time.

That is a nice thought.

But, no.

Blue Diamond, leave this planet.

This colony will not be completed.

It's the rebels! Who are you? Show yourselves! We are the Crystal Gems.

The att*ck was right on schedule.

Hm? Hee-yah! - Hup! - Yeah! - Hup! Ha! Thank you, Ruby.

You did your best.

Ruby suddenly realized what Sapphire meant.

She had known that Ruby would fail.

Sapphire had accepted it, but Ruby Ruby could not.

No! What? What? What What is this? Wait.

This is Hm? - Let's go.

- Uh, bye.

Is this The furious crowd closed in around Ruby and Sapphire.

They had never seen fusion of two different types of Gems.

"Unbelievable.

" "Disgusting.

" "This is unheard of.

" Blue Diamond's voice cut through the crowd.

"The rebels have fled.

Sapphire, this is not the scenario you described.

" This is not what I saw.

I don't know what happened.

- I - No, it was me.

"Clearly," said Blue Diamond.

"How dare you fuse with a member of my court.

" Forgive me.

I "You will be broken for this.

" Wait! What are you doing?! Noooo! Why'd you do that? I have to get you back up there! They were gonna break you.

Who cares? There's tons of me.

Uh! What do we do now?! Sapphire had known every moment of her life how it would happen and when.

But because of Ruby's impulsive gesture, she suddenly jumped the track of fate.

And everything from that instant on was wrong and new.

She couldn't see.

She couldn't move.

She was frozen.

Ah! We have to get you out of here.

Come on.

All right, this should be good for now.

Thank you.

Wha? What kind of Ruby am I supposed to be? Look at this.

It's all my fault you're stranded here.

- How am I gonna save you? - You already did.

- What? - You already saved me.

I've seen Gems fuse before, but I had no idea that's what it felt like.

I always thought I never realized that fusion - that you disappear like that.

- It's never like that.

Whenever I fuse, it's always just been me, but bigger.

I-I've never had a third eye before.

I've never had more than one.

It was nice.

Yeah.

Ruby and Sapphire: # Where did we go? # what did we do? I think we made something entirely new and it wasn't quite me and it wasn't quite you I think it was someone entirely new oh um well, I just can't stop thinkin' so um did you say I was different? And you hadn't before? Of course not When would I have ever? I'm so sorry No, no, don't be And now you're here forever What about you? What about me? Well, you're here, too We're here together I was back.

I was someone, and I didn't know who.

But felt like I was getting the hang of my strange, new form.

And then I fell.

Ah! Ow.

Ah! Don't hurt her! Don't hurt me? - It's you the fusion.

- We didn't mean to fuse.

Well, we did this time.

We'll unfuse.

We'll We'll No, no, please.

I'm glad to see you again.

And there they were Rose Quartz, the leader of the rebellion and her terrifying renegade, Pearl.

- I don't upset you? - Who cares about how I feel? How you feel is bound to be much more interesting.

How I feel? I-I feel lost and scared and and happy.

Why am I so sure that I'd rather be this than everything I was supposed to be? And that I'd rather do this than everything I was supposed to do? Welcome to Earth.

Can you tell me, how was Ruby able to alter fate? Why was Sapphire willing to give up everything? - What am I? - No more questions.

Don't ever question this.

You already are the answer.

So, what was it? - The answer? - Love.

- Wow.

I knew it.

- So did I.
