Chapter 53: Too Far

"I'll be sure to add that to my notes..." Peridot said

"How do you feel?" Steven asked

"...Big," Peridot responded, "Oh, I should tell the Y/n! They would be so proud!"

"Heh, I bet they would," Steven laughed

"What's so funny?" Peridot questioned

"You're just... you talk about Y/n a lot," Steven said

"They are a valuable asset to our mission," Peridot said matter-o-factly, "They have a dynamic range of uses, there is much to discuss with them,"

"Well, why don't you go find them and tell them what you did?" Steven suggested

"That's what I was planning on doing," Peridot informed as she stepped into the barn, "Er... Steven? The Y/n is broken again,"

"Broken?" Steven frowned as he walked into the barn to see Y/n asleep sitting up on the wall of the barn, "Peridot, they're sleeping, not broken. We've been over this,"

"Oh, that's where Y/n went," Amethyst commented as she walked in behind the two, "Uh oh..."

"What's uh oh?" Steven asked

"The necklace thing... it's still on and they're asleep," Amethyst pointed out

"Should we remove the neck decoration?" Peridot suggested

"I'm not sure if that's safe..." Steven said

"Yeah... Who knows how that thing works," Amethyst said

"I wonder where they are right now," Steven said, "...and when they are,"

"Whoa... I don't think I'm on Earth anymore," Y/n said out loud as they looked out the large glass window of a pink, circular hallway. Y/n couldn't make out any distinguishable space-marks that would hint where they were. Y/n took a step back from the window and looked down at their necklace, about to remove, but decided to explore the new area. Y/n continued walking down the hallway, their footsteps echoing throughout as they reached a door that had no knob. Y/n noticed a panel nearby and put their hands near it, causing it to light up. Y/n played around with the options on the holographic menu until the door opened. Y/n continued down the hall, suddenly noticing another set of footsteps ringing through the hallway. Shaking off the sound, Y/n pushed forwards, only for the footsteps to become louder. Soon, Y/n could see a tall blue agate marching down the hallway, Y/n took a deep breath as they continued walking, picking up a bit of speed as the two were about to cross paths, "Hello," Y/n greeted as they kept walking

"Hello," The agate replied, walking by Y/n, but suddenly stopping as she realized what she saw. Before the agate could even turn around and call out to the stranger, they had vanished around the hallway, "No... It couldn't be..." The agate murmured as she began to slowly walk the way she came from.

"Hmm, another door," Y/n said as they saw a new set of doors with a control panel. Y/n went through the process of opening the door again, this time when the doors parted open, it revealed a large room filled with cubies, in those cubies, about a dozen gems sat or stood within them, all chatting until they looked towards the door, staring at Y/n, "You didn't see anything..." Y/n said, waving their hand slowly as if they could control the mind's of the Gems. Y/n looked towards the control panel and closed the door, stepping backwards slowly.

"How did a human get out of the zoo?!" A voice from behind the door asked, "And... did it just talk at us?"

"I dunno, but we gotta get it before Holly Blue finds out!" Another gruff voice responded
