Also, what was so bad about Lapis going to space? Pearl says, "Garnet! Wait! I'm sure he doesn't understand what he's doing!" Seems like paragraph 4 information. And your point is? For all we know, Garnet had no idea that Lapis in particular was in the mirror. Didn't Garnet say she and the others FOUND the mirror and not given? And don't tell me that Lapis's dialogue upon seeing the Crystal Gems confirms it; Lapis was no doubt disoriented and didn't know what to do. That's why she left in a big huff to try and leave.

And, once again, BULLCRAP! Pearl was just saying that for Steven's safety. You saw Garnet's face when Steven slapped her glasses away, she looked ready to rip his head off!

And as for Lapis leaving, it's pretty simple why they're at least somewhat worried: If what I said earlier is true and other Gems see Earth as just a means to an end, then the Crystal Gems no doubt don't want another civil war turning Earth asunder!
