Meanwhile, at their outdoor spa, Marble and her group were having a great time.

"Mom, do you think the hot springs would mess up my mane?", Garnet asked with concern.

Marble smiled, "Oh, Garnet! It'll be fine! And besides, it'll help your mane! Maybe even make it look a few years younger."

"Oh Boy! Count me in!", he grinned jumping into the hot spring.

Alexandrite laughed, her face covered in avocado cream, and cucumbers over her eyes, "Garnet! Watch my face! I'm trying to get these dreadful wrinkles out from underneath my eyes!"

Fancy Diamond looked like a disco ball underwater when she took a dip, her constantly changing colors flashing in the sunshine. Jade was instructing Citrine (In French), on how to take a mud bath properly. Turquoise was practicing massages on his mother, Tourmaline was making everyone her signature "Peach and Cranberry Pick-Me-Ups", while Topaz was drenching hers in honey, much to Marble's objection.

Meanwhile, Nite and his group were already home.

"Dad? What are we going to do now?", Diamond asked, now fully rested.

"We are going to watch my favorite show, Who's Got The Button!", he smiled, (If it's my luck that it's a real show, I don't own it!)

"Yeah!", the kids exclaimed.

After watching all of season 1, Marble and the kids came home.

"We're home, Nite! What do you think?", she smiled, having her hair tied in a bun, and her face looked 12 years younger.

Nite's jaw dropped, "Baby! I think you look hot!"

"Oh, please...I don't look that good...", Marble blushed.

"Dad's right, Mom! You look pretty! Very pretty!", Onyx smiled.

"Okay! Who's ready to have lunch? We're having my homemade wheatgrass lasagna!", Nite grinned.

Everyone cheered and ran to the...table...except...Diamond?

(Hey. What's wrong?)

"Who said that?!", Diamond asked in surprise, looking around.

(It's just me, the guy writing this story, DaiAtlas2016. So...are you going to tell me what's wrong?)

"You wouldn't care, you're the author. I'm just one of your creations...", she sighed sadly.

(Hey...don't say that. I love all my creations, no matter what. And your not just another one of my creations, you're special, unique. Just like everyone else in this story.)

"Well, since you put it that way...Dad thinks I like his lasagna. But the truth is, I don't. I don't want to hurt his feelings, so I've never told him. What should I do?", Diamond asked.

(You just need to tell him the truth. I think he'll understand, it's all part of being a father.)

"Are you sure?"

(Trust me...)

And for a split second, Diamond thought she saw the ceiling twinkle, like it was winking, then Nite came into the room.

"Diamond? What's wrong?", he asked with concern.

Tears filled her eyes, "Oh, Papa! I'm so sorry! I should have told you before! But I didn't want to hurt your feelings! I...I don't like your lasagna! I'm so sorry!"

Nite smiled, "Oh, honey. It's alright. Besides, it takes a lot more than words to hurt me. Come on, I'll make you a sandwich."

"A peanut butter and caramel sandwich?"

"A peanut butter and caramel sandwich.", he agreed, before turning to the ceiling quickly and smiling, "Thanks, old friend! Thanks for everything!"

(Anytime...Anytime...)

And so, they lived out their days in the beautiful valley. Marble and Nite, raising their children, watching their grandchildren, and finally leaving...making their way to paradise at the ages of 102 and 100 respectively. Poor Diamond...she died young, leaving her children motherless, and her husband widowed.

But...according to Luna, if watch the night sky at midnight, the starry images of Nite, Marble, and Diamond will run and skip across the starry sky, playing tag. Marble and Diamond will hide behind the moon, and Nite will search until he eventually finds them. This goes on until he finally catches them and pulls them into a hug, disappearing as the sun rises...to return at midnight that night.

Author's Note

This story may seem short, but by the time I had got to this story, I had run out ideas. So I put it out to the pasture.
