The flashback

Meanwhile in the bathroom, Steven is pacing around, wondering how he's going to fix this. Suddenly, he feels faint, he sits on the floor to wait this out, then a familiar voice chimes out.

"Blue! Please!"

His mom, Pink Diamond.

(I'm in a memory again, aren't I? But why this one… and how this one?)

"Fine!"

Blue says, replying hesitantly.

"I'll get the essences, but only if you promise to use them sparingly this time!"

"OK!"

Pink exclaims.

"I don't like it when yellow shatters my soldiers, they do absolutely nothi…"

Pink cuts off and Steven snaps back to reality.

"So the essences can heal…. I shouldn't say it out loud…."

"Say what out loud?"

Pearl whispers to the others.

Steven turns on the water and starts dripping the essences into it. He realigns Jasper's shards, and plunges them into the mixture, the sweat coming off his hand to add pink into the mixture of yellow, blue, and white. A faint glow starts coming from his hand, him letting go to let the orange gem reform.

"Jasper"

Steven says with a slightly worried expression on his face.

"You… you shattered me."

Jasper says, surprised by the power that he holds, she always thought he was just some weak earthling, until now.

"Jasper, I…. I'm sorry, I… I just wasn't really thinking straight."

Jasper steps out of the tub, bowing down to steven.

"I bow, to your strength, my diamond"

Jasper says.

"I….. *sigh* please go tell the gems I will be out in a minute, just don't call me your Diamond or do the salute. They will get suspicious of me. Oh, and tell them that you… listen, I know you won't like it, but tell the gems I had went to the beta kindergarten to relax, and I had found that you had corrupted again, and the reason I look like this is because I had to fight bluebird to save you, I just didn't have time to return to my normal form or whatever."

Jasper nods and walks towards the door.

"Oh, and Jasper?"

Steven says.

"Yes?"

Jasper questions.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome my… I mean, Steven."

Jasper replies, a slight smile on her face.
