Sorry if this is short, this was supposed to be apart of Chapter 8 which I released yesterday. I was exhausted and by the time I reached the point where Pink was revealed, I decided to end it there. I was awake for 21 hours yesterday and I spent 14 of the hours writing.

I was disappointed that I didn't finish on time, but glad that I did most of it. I had to stop because I was exhausted and was going to pass out if I didn't sleep soon enough. So without further ado, here's the rest of Chapter 8 but put into a different Chapter!

3rd Person P.O.V.

(Steven) But, Mom, if you're here then I shouldn't.

He lifts up his shirt to see that his gem is gone.

(Steven) How am I still alive?

(Batman) Pink's tears brought you back from the dead. Just like how you brought Lars back from the dead.

(Steven) Does this mean I'm human 100%?!

Batman used Detective Mode to see.

Identity: Steven Universe
Condition: Nervous
Species: Human.

(Batman) You're human all the way.

(Blue Diamond) This is amazing! Pink is back!

(Yellow Diamond) I knew she was in there somewhere.

(White Diamond) Pink, what do you remember?

(Pink Diamond) I saw everything.

(White Diamond) What?

(Pink Diamond) Everything you three did to my son. You injured him and almost killed him, he was lucky to have my powers at the time.

She's still holding Steven in her arms.

(Blue Diamond) But Pink, we didn't know it was you in him the entire time. Until he told us.

(Pink Diamond) In your heads. Don't try to twist the situation. Everything he saw, I saw. He tried to tell you and you wouldn't listen.

(Yellow Diamond) Pink, we apologize for our behavior. It's just that you've been gone for so long, we were desperate to avenge you.

(Pink Diamond) I get that, but you didn't listen to Steven, you just wanted a fight. And you!

She points at White.

(Pink Diamond) How dare you try to murder Steven!

(White Diamond) I was trying to get you back.

(Pink Diamond) You knew that Steven would die.

(White Diamond) So?

(Pink Diamond) SO HE'S MY SON! Someone I created!

The four of them kept arguing over and over. Steven didn't want to hear it anymore.

(Steven) EVERYONE PLEASE STOP FIGHTING!

He broke the arguement up.

(Steven) I know you all are angry and confused about the situation. I'll try to dissolve it.

He gets out of his mother's arms and stood in the middle of the room.

(Steven) Yellow and Blue wanted to avenge Mom when they thought she was shattered. After convincing them, we wanted to heal the corrupted gems on Earth, but we need White. We came here to convince White to help us, but things got complicated when Yellow and Blue started confusing me with Mom. After I did all what they wanted me to, an arguement starts and White just so happens to walk in on it and punishes me and Bruce for fighting in the Ballroom. Then, after a while, we get to here and White pulls my gem out and you came out, Mom. All of this happened tonight and it's not even breakfast.

(Blue Diamond) "Breakfast"?

(Pink Diamond) Steven, what was the point of summarizing tonight's events?

[To basically show that it's still on one night]

(Steven) I'm setting it all straight and explaining why we're here.

(Pink Diamond) Okay, then let's do that.

(Yellow Diamond) Afterwards, you're coming back to Homeworld with us.

(Blue Diamond) So we can be together again.

(Pink Diamond) I'm not coming back.

(White Diamond) You cannot be serious, Pink.

(Pink Diamond) I am. Why should I come back? You three made me leave this horrible planet. You never took me seriously. And then you all tried to murder my son. If anything, I should be getting as far away from you as possible.

(Steven) Mom, we need them to heal the gems on Earth. That's why we came here.

(Batman) We need all four Diamonds to fix the damage they did on Earth.

(Pink Diamond) (sighs) You're right. We'll go to Earth and heal those gems. And we'll have a talk.

(White Diamond) What about?

(Pink Diamond) About whether or not if I should return to this place.

White sighed and agreed to the terms of this negotiation. Pink walks over to the Pearl, Garnet, Amethyst's gems and bubbled them. She sent them to the temple on Earth so she doesn't have to carry them on the way back and they'll already be there when they reach the Temple.

Then, she looks at Batman.

(Pink Diamond) So, you're the Batman.

(Batman) Yes.

(Pink Diamond) I want to thank you for protecting Steven on Earth and here from the other Diamonds.

(Batman) All in a day's work.

(Pink Diamond) Is that so? Well, you did a good job, then. Actually, I take it back. You've done a great job and I'm forever in your debt. You and Steven did all of this in a single night.

(Batman) Tonight's not over yet. There's more work to be done.

(Pink Diamond) You're right. We need to go back to Earth. We'll take my ship.

Back on Earth

Bismuth is hammering the wall to the house. Greg carried some wood up the porch.

(Greg) It's past midnight. I wonder if they'll be back before sunrise.

(Bismuth) Wait, did you actually think they'll get the Diamonds in one night? It's gonna take time, I should know. A Diamond is never easy to compromise with, especially White based on the stories.

(Greg) Well, Bruce is with them. He's done a lot of things within a night. Maybe he changed things.

(Bismuth) I reckon they'll be back after this place is built. Where's Peridot and Lapis?

(Lapis) Right here!

She comes flying towsrds them with more wood. Peridot is making a tool box float with her metal powers.

(Peridot) We got the supplies to rebuild the house. Now, let's get started.

(Greg) Oh, look!

They looked up in the sky to see pink legs coming down into the atmosphere.

(Greg) I knew they'll be back before sunrise!

(Bismuth) How did they do it?!

(Lapis) Looks like Steven was right. They're back at morning.

(Peridot) Actually, it's before morning. It's only 3:43 AM.

(Lapis) Isn't that still morning?

(Greg) They're coming out.

They went over to where the pink legs landed. The first few individuals who stepped out was Batman and Yellow with Blue behind them. But what shocked everyone the most is when Steven comes out standing right next to Pink Diamond.

(Bismuth) HOLY SHUCKS! IS THAT PINK DIAMOMD?!

(Greg) I thought she couldn't live since Steven has her gem.

White Diamond hesitantly follows them outside the ship. The four builders of the house race over to the group.

(Greg) Steven, Ro-- Pink, how are you two here?

(Steven) I kinda died.

(Greg) YOU WHAT?!

(Batman) White pulled his gem out.

(Bismuth) Why I ought to--

(Steven) No, no! It's okay! Look I'm fine.

(Pink Diamond) I accidentally used my healing powers to heal him and now we both can exist now!

She hugs the boy.

(Peridot) So, if you're here, is Steven still a gem?

(Yellow Diamond) No. After having the gem removed from his body and being resurrected by Pink made him 100% human.

(Steven) That means anything I did as a gem: fusing, using warps, and my powers, are no more.

(Bismuth) Okay, but when did that ever mean to us?

(Steven) What do you mean?

(Bismuth) Steven, we don't care about you because of your powers.

(Lapis) We cared about who you are, which is Steven Universe.

(Peridot) Human, gem, both. It never mattered to us.

(Steven) Thanks guys!

He hugged them. Greg approached Pink.

(Greg) Hey... Pink.

(Pink Diamond) Hey, Greg.

(Greg) It's so weird saying Pink when I'm used to saying Rose.

(Pink Diamond) Yeah, well, the truths out there now.

(Greg) So, are you gonna stay with me and Steven, or are you going back with the Diamonds?

(Pink Diamond) The Diamonds would want me to return to Homeworld. But all I care about right now is spending time with Steven. I just met him under 10 minutes ago. And 7 of those minutes I spent moving my ship.

(Greg) Hey, I understand that. Like, if I had a child and never met him or her for like years, I'd be eager to meet them, too.

(Pink Diamond) But right now, we have to heal those corrupted gems.

(Greg) Okay, you do that.

(Bismuth) Wait, where's Pearl, Garnet, and Amethyst?

(Steven) They got poofed.

(Bismuth) What?! How?!

(Steven) It's a long story. Mom bubbled them and they're at the Temple. We plan on unbubbleing them when we fix the damage from the Diamonds. That way, we can surprise them.

(Bismuth) All right, let's go heal those gems!

Three hours later

The sun is finally rising! Three hours of healing those gems and fixing the Warp Pads to Homeworld. All the gems are being held at Homeworld until they're relocated somewhere.

Steven says that he'll have somewhere for them on Earth, but it'll be a while. Everyone, except Pearl, Garnet and Amethyst, are outside of the house.

(Blue Diamond) Pink, please return to Homeworld. We've changed, Steven and Wayne have changed us.

(Yellow Diamond) It won't be like before.

(White Diamond) You'll be treated fairly this time.

Pink sighed.

(Pink Diamond) I would like to come back, but I have a life here on Earth. I have a family.

(Blue Diamond) We're your family, too.

(Pink Diamond) Except you never treated me like family. Look, I won't abandon you like before. I'll come by to visit, and to help you three with the healed gems. Right now, I want to be with my family, it's been far too long since I've seen them.

(Yellow Diamond) Very well.

(Blue Diamond) You will return, right Pink?

(Pink Diamond) Yes, Blue.

(White Diamond) Pink.

(Pink Diamond) Yes?

(White Diamond) I'm sorry...

(Pink Diamond) It's okay. I forgive you.

They leave and Pink walks over to Steven. She joyfully picks him up with a hug.

(Steven) (chuckles) Hey, Mom!

(Pink Diamond) I'm so excited to be with you after all these years!

(Steven) Me, too. You sound more cooler than I thought you would.

(Pink Diamond) (giggles) You sound exactly how I thought you would.

(Steven) Let's go get the others and surprise them.

They went to the Temple and got the three bubbles that were left. They popped them and they formed bodys but with different attires.

(Pearl) Steven! Are you-- PINK?!

Ruby and Sapphire just fused as Garnet.

(Garnet) P-Pink?

(Amethyst) Whoa, hold up, what's going on?

(Steven) Long story short, we got Mom back and I'm fully human now.

Pearl jumps into Pink's arms.

(Pearl) (sobbing) Oh, Pink! I missed you very much!

(Pink Diamond) I missed you, too, Pearl.

(Amethyst) So Steven can't do gem things anymore?

(Pink Diamond) No. He's only human now.

(Steven) I understand if you guys don't want to talk with me anymore. I did take Rose away from you guys.

(Garnet) Oh, Steven, we could never turn our backs to you. We have both of the people we care more about anything. You and Pink Diamond.

(Amethyst) Yeah, we spent so many years with you to nevee forget you. You being human doesn't change a thing to me.

(Pearl) Me, too. (Sniffles) You are just as important as your mother.

(Steven) Thanks. I love all you guys.

(Crystal Gems, Pink & Greg) We love you, Steven.

Steven noticed Batman leaving the Temple and pressing buttons on his gauntlet. He runs over to Bruce.

(Steven) Hey, Bruce!

He turns around to see Steven hugging his leg (because he's so small).

(Steven) Thank you for helping me reunite with my Mom.

(Batman) My pleasure. It's good for you to be with your loved ones again.

(Steven) I wished the same can happen to you. Maybe one day.

(Batman) Me, too. I have a feeling I I won't be gone forever.

(Steven) Why do you say that?

(Batman) I'm sure there's plenty of gems who have a bone to pick with Pink Diamond and Rose Quartz. And if you ever need the help, you can call me.

(Steven) Thanks, Bruce. See you some day.

He grappled to the Batwing and it took him back to Gotham.
