It had been a few weeks since the dramatic events on Homeworld and on Earth. Garnet had often wondered how things had turned out so.... well. All of the corrupted gems the Crystal Gems held in their care had been healed, and most were living happily on Earth once again. There were problems, of course. But all in all, things were better than she could have hoped, or foreseen.
Of course, that didn't mean things were perfect. Not all of the gems on Earth were healed; many still wandered the wilderness, in pain and unhealed. She had sensed one recently, down in the jungles of South America. Before, she would have felt pangs of guilt at the thought of another friend so decimated. But now, she had hope that she would see another friend again soon. She had gathered the Crystal Gems in the beach house, minus Steven, who was having a day with Connie. Bolstering their ranks were Lapis and Peridot, both seemingly eager for their first real mission.
