Peri let out a cheerful squeal. She would get more time to talk to Bow about tech stuff, although he was still getting used to her, and wasn’t as keen about this. Amethyst, Pearl, Adora, and Lapis were intrigued, willing to give Mystacor a try. Steven and Connie were perhaps the most enthusiastic, hoping it was just like the calming waves and warm sands of Beach City which they had grown to love over the years.

To get there quickly, Amethyst transformed herself into a helicopter. Everyone but Lapis and Peri got inside, traveling together. Lapis gave Peri a piggyback ride like she did for Steven when they explored the Earth many months before for a place she could live, whose water wings flapped through the wind. Peri seemed to enjoy this more than Lapis, although she didn’t mind because Peri was much lighter than Steven or his dad, Greg. Inside the helicopter, Steven, Connie, and Adora cracked each other up, giggling about their looks, jokes, and whatnot. The others inside, Garnet, Pearl, Bow, and Glimmer, sat in repose, not saying more than a few words to each other.

They soon reached a cliff, with the steep drop down the ravine obscured by clouds. Amethyst turned into a bird, readying herself to fly to Mystacor’s entrance. Glimmer and Bow jumped into the clouds, giving everyone, but Adora, a scare. While Pearl, Garnet, Connie, and Steven ran around in terror, thinking Glimmer and Bow had plummeted to their deaths, Peri matter-of-factly stated the same, almost like she was making another log in her recorder.

”The human lifeforms jumped into a mass of water droplets, which they call ”clouds.” The drop is incalculable but if they continue at their current velocity, they…will reach the bottom of the ravine in less than five minutes…plummeting to their deaths” she lamented.

To their surprise, a grass-covered floating mountain, a boulder of sorts, burst through the cloud layer and came up the cliff edge. Glimmer and Bow, standing upright, smiled, with the Crystal Gems relieved. Steven, Connie, Garnet, Peri, and Pearl stepped into the boulder, standing on the lush green grass, while Lapis and Amethyst followed from above. It was only a matter of time until they all were inside Mystacor’s protective grid, riding the magic boulder through the clouds!
