"We have to stop him before it's too late." Patrick said.

"Drive, drive, drive!" Emily urged.

Patrick drove quickly, but not too quickly as they were on their way to the beach. There was a purple owl perched on the top of the gate as Greg was on his way inside of it, despite being told to keep out.

"Greg, stop!" Patrick called out.

"Huh?" Greg turned around, then saw Patrick and Emily rushing over. "What're you guys doing here?"

"Greg, I know what you're thinking, but you can't go in there." Emily said.

"But if I don't, how will I find her again?" Greg asked.

"Hoot!" the owl hooted.

Greg then turned to the owl with a chuckle. "Ah, just some giant mysterious lady with enormous pink hair," he jokingly replied to the bird as though it could talk. "You haven't seen anyone like that around, have ya?"

"Sure have, pal." the owl then replied, revealing to had spoken after all.

"Uh, Greg, I think we should go now." Patrick said.

"But I have to meet this lady again!" Greg urged, then looked to the purple owl. "Have you seen her?"

"Well, uh, if I told you more, I'd have to KILL YOU!" the owl replied before laughing and flying off to a temple.

"Hey, wait, hold on a sec!" Greg climbed up the gate to go after the owl.

"No, Greg, please stop, you don't know what you're getting yourself into." Emily said.

"Guys, I need to!" Greg refused to stop, then accidentally fell over the gate.

There was a pointy-nosed white woman talking with the purple owl as Patrick and Emily went after the amateur musician.

"It spoke to you?" the white woman asked the owl.

"He was asking about Rose," the owl replied before turning its head to see the incoming humans. "Look, there he is, and he brought friends!"

"Greg, we need to go now, you'll see her tomorrow, but right now, we need to go." Patrick said.

The owl flew towards Greg though, seeming to like him.

"Amethyst, wait!" the pointy-nosed woman cried out.

'What is she doing?' Emily thought to herself.

The bird seemed to change from an owl into a purple toddler girl and latched onto Greg's back which alarmed him.

"What on Earth?!" Emily jumped back in surprise, then realized the name and the powers. "Wait... You're one of those Crystal Gems from Homeworld."

"How do you know that?" Amethyst asked.

"I know Rose Quartz..." Emily replied. "She was a friend of my mother's..."

"Who's your mom?" Amethyst asked.

"I never knew her, but her name was Alexandrite," Emily informed. "When I was growing up, I came here a lot during the summer... There, I met Rose after I gave up my mermaid form to live life like a human."

"Wait, you're the daughter of Alexandrite?" Amethyst asked.

"I guess that's who I am..." Emily replied with a small shrug.

"That is so awesome!" Amethyst smiled.

"I guess you guys knew my mother too?" Emily asked.

"Yes," Amethyst told her. "We named one of our fusions after her... She influenced us to come down to Earth."

"I never knew her, neither did my sister, Athena," Emily replied softly and a little sadly. "Daddy doesn't talk about her often... Usually when he does, he only says one or two things and then changes the subject."

"Well, there's a reason for that, but I'm afraid you all need to go now." the pointy-nosed woman told Emily, Patrick, and Greg.

A very tall woman with shades came over and looked down. "Pearl, Amethyst, you're with humans."

"We were just about to leave." Patrick said.

They followed me over the fence!" Amethyst announced with glee.

"What should we do?" the pointy-nosed woman named Pearl asked.

The tall woman stared to the three humans. "State your business."

"Uhh... I was just kinda looking for the mysterious pink lady," Greg explained nervously. "Kinda really tall... Lots of big curly hair?"

"That girl human knew Alexandrite and that one's talking about Ro--" Amethyst tried until Pearl put her hand over the purple gem's mouth.

"We know her, but you can see her tomorrow, right now, we are in big trouble being here." Patrick said to Greg.

"I don't know how to make them go away." Pearl whispered.

"I'll just throw them all over the fence." the tall woman replied.

"What?! No, no, we'll leave on our own." Emily said.

Pearl agreed as she carried Amethyst about humans being on the other side of hte gate.

"Wait!" Rose's voice called.

The others turned to see Rose hurrying out of the temple.

"Mr. Universe...?" Rose spotted the humans. "Emily Miller?"

"Hi, Rose." Emily waved.

"It's you..." Greg blushed before being dropped out of the large woman's arms. "Whoa! Ow..."

Rose jumped over to help him up. "Are you alright?"

Greg took her hand and the two looked deep into each other's eyes.

'The plan is working.' Emily thought to herself.

Patrick and Emily shared knowing smiles to each other.

End of Flashback


"I miss Rose so much..." Emily shut her eyes. "After she got pregnant with her child, I was told why I hadn't met my mother... What a beautiful sacrifice... I couldn't imagine what that would be like."

"It would be pretty lonely for the rest of us." Patrick said.

"You think so?" Emily asked. "What if I had been born a Gem?"

"Don't think like that..." Patrick said. "I'd miss you too much."

"Aw!" Emily awed.

Patrick hugged his wife with tears in his eyes. After a brief moment, the front door opened before Atticus and Patch came in.
