Chapter 45: Keystone Motel

"We?" Y/n frowned

"It's for the best, Y/n," Garnet said

--------

"Another great thing about motels," Greg began as he opened the door to the motel room, "You can drive right up to your door!"

"I'm gonna swim in the pool, order a movie, get free ice! It's gonna be great!" Steven gasped in awe as he jumped on the bed, Garnet came in behind carrying everyone's items, she seemed agitated

"Not before we check for bed bugs, it isn't!" Greg laughed nervously as he ran to Steven and quickly checked the bed, "Good news! We're bugless!" Greg assured as his phone buzzed, "Oh! That's my cue. Hey, do you mind holding down the fort until I get back?" Garnet managed to give a thumbs up with her left hand as it twitched, "Great. I'm going to see a man about a tunnel brush... An internet man... If I'm not back in an hour, call the police,"

"Okay!" Steven smiled as Greg closed the door, "Come on, bounce with me guys!" Steven cheered as he jumped on the bed.

"I'm kind of tired," Y/n yawned

"O-or we could look at brochures. Oh, Keystone Caverns...." Steven suggested as he picked up a pamplet

"Calm down," Garnet groaned to herself

"I don't feel like forgiving Pearl!" Garnet panted

"You don't understand, we must," Garnet said, seemingly shaking

"If you're not going to listen then you can just- go!" Garnet said as she put her hand and her shoulder, suddenly de-fusing into Sapphire and Ruby

"We must move past this, Ruby," Sapphire said as she sat facing away from Ruby

"She lied to us so we'd form Sardonyx! She tricked us; don't you feel used?!" Ruby yelled

"Ruby! Sapphire! I uh-" Steven smiled

"You're choosing to take it personally," Sapphire said

"It's fusion, Sapphire! What's more personal to us than fusion!?" Ruby yelled as she jumped to her feet

"I know, you're still upset," Sapphire said

"Oh, so it's just me?" Ruby glared

"Of course not," Sapphire turned to Ruby, completely emotionless and monotone, "Can't you see I'm completely engulfed with rage?"

"Well, it doesn't feel like it," Ruby tapped her foot impatiently, "Why aren't you mad, Y/n?!"

"I-I-" Y/n began to stammer

"Don't yell at Y/n," Sapphire said as she began to levitate onto the bed, "The sooner we forgive Pearl, the better it will be for us all. Wouldn't you agree, Y/n?"

"I'm not getting in the middle of this," Y/n put their hands up

"Too late! Pearl already dragged you into the middle of this!" Ruby shot

"Stop yelling at Y/n, Ruby," Sapphire said calmly, "Y/n has chosen to forgive Pearl just as I have,"

You're... not... as above this as you... think you... are!" Ruby grunted as she paced the room, literally steaming, "You can't speak for Y/n either!"

"Yes, I am and I can," Sapphire said, "You can't stay angry with her forever,"

"Wanna bet?" Ruby turned and pointed to her. Smoke began to rise from the carpet

"Ruby, the carpet," Sapphire warned

"You... can't even... Argh!" Ruby grunted in annoyance as she ran out of the room and slammed the door
