The disguise

As Steven and Jasper arrive on homeworld, Steven remembers something.

"Ahh shoot."

"What's wrong?"

Questions Jasper.

"The diamonds can't see me like this!"

"My diamond?"

"Yes Jasper?"

"I have an idea."

Says Jasper, a bit of a nervous look on her face.

"Lay it on me."

"Well, you could shapeshift to look like a rose quartz, and you could find some intricate way to shapeshift those, voice giving things?"

"That's actually not a bad idea, and since I have better control over my powers I have less of a possibility to go out of control."

"Wait right here."

Says Steven, hiding behind a nearby wall.

(Alright, let's try this.)

He starts shape-shifting into a rose quartz with long puffy hair, similar to Stegs, and the iconic quartz outfit.

He figures out how to shapeshift his vocal chords, and he changes to a voice almost like jaspers, just a bit higher, and with a bit of an almost country accent.

He walks back out from behind the bush.

"It actually worked?"

Jasper questions.

"Yep!"

Steven says, his new voice jolting Jasper a bit.

"Alright Jasper, I will be a quartz that comes from the human zoo, and me and you have a bit of a friendship."

"Alright then."

Jasper replies, sinking deeply into her thoughts.

"What's on your mind?"

Steven Questions.

"Well after lapis, I realized I haven't really had any real friendships with anyone, so…. maybe, and this is just a thought, we could fuse…. sometime? I mean, I'm realizing I wasn't the best with lapis, and putting aside the diamond stuff, I think I'm kind of warming up to you…."

Steven just stands there and stares, stars in his eyes.

"It's a dumb idea, nevermind."

"Jasper! I never knew you felt that way, if you're ok with it, I'd be fine fusing with you sometime, I want to give everyone a second chance, no matter how many times they tried to kill me."

Jasper bursts out into laughter.

"Hahaha! I did try to do that a few times didn't I?"

Steven starts laughing too.

"I mean, it is pretty funny looking back at it! Jeez, you even got close a few times!"

"White takes the cake for the closest though!"

Jasper says, smiling almost from nonexistent ear to ear.

"Yep! Oh wow, I don't think I've felt that happy in a while, thanks Jasper."

"You're welcome my dia- I mean ste- uhhh jeez, there's too many names for me to remember! Rose quartz! Rose quartz, there…. Wait, you're fine being called that, right? I know you have a bit of a problem with your mom and such."

"Huh? Oh I'm fine! I'm almost over that anyways!"

Steven says, still smiling from earlier.

"You ready?"

"Yep!"

Replies Jasper.

"Let's hope this works."

Steven whispers to Jasper as they walk in.

Yellow is standing in the hall talking with blue about Steven and his effect on the empire.

"So yeah, I feel he has a pretty posi- oh! Jasper? What are you doing here?"

Yellow asks.

"Oh, me and rose quartz keep finding rejuvenators out on the old battlefields, and we were wondering where the rejuvenator room is so we can safely store them."

Jasper says.

"A rose quartz? Friends with you? Well that's unexpected, anyways… we usually don't let people into the rejuvenator room without proof of having one to put away or proper usage… but I'm sure you won't use it for anything bad or steal any, so go right ahead, it's on the first door to the right down the g-15 hall."

"Thank you my diamond." 

Jasper does the diamond salute towards yellow.

Steven and Jasper run down to the rejuvenator room and grab a couple.

"Uhhh… where are we supposed to put these?"

Jasper asks.

"You may have to shapeshift a couple holes in your arms to hold them, shouldn't be too hard."

"I've never shapeshifted before though…"

"Oh it's super easy, just concentrate really deeply on what you wanna do, then try it."

Jasper manages to make two perfectly sized holes in her arm for the rejuvenators.

"This feels really weird…"

Jasper says, a confused look on her face.

"You'll get used to it."

He says as he puts the rejuvenators into the small slots.

"Ok, now cover those things up."

Jasper manages to shapeshift in such a way that the rejuvenators aren't broken, but they aren't visible, then Steven and Jasper walk easily out the door and make their way back to the warp.

"Jasper? Once we get back to the greenhouse, let's wait there for a minute, because if I can shift into a quartz soldier, I might be able to figure out how to look like my normal self."

Steven says while they're warping through space.

"Ok then, my diamond."
