"Pearl, come here fast." Greg said in a haste as he struggled to get the babies under control. After watching his wife, Rose Quartz, die right in front of him he didn't know what to do. She wanted this so badly, so he had to let her. It was her only wish. What had happened he never expected.
"What is it Greg." Pearl replied walking in, tear stricken. Pearl had taken this the worst out of him and the gems. She considered herself the closest to Rose, that she hid nothing from her. She did everything for Rose, even got proofed on multiple occasions to protect her. Now that she was gone, she felt that she has no purpose.
"Umm... There is two babies." Greg replied nervous to how Pearl would react. Moving aside her revealed two babies. One of them was a boy with, black-brown hair and black eyes. The other one, a girl had brown and pink hair. Her eyes were brown as well.
"Which one has a gem!?" Pearl shouted searching them. She only found a Gem on Steven, meaning that Rose gave birth to a human.
"Nora doesn't have a gem, what does that mean?" Greg asked still oblivious to that fact.
"Nora is a human, but it is best if we raise both." Pearl replied picking up the two babies and walking back to the temple. Greg chased after her, but she knew what she was doing. She was doing the best for Steven and Nora. More so Steven, Nora didn't matter. She didn't have Rose's gem. So she shouldn't have been born. Only Steven mattered.
"Tag, you're it!" Steven yelled, touching Nora on the back.
"Hey! I'm gonna get you back for that!" Nora replied chasing after him. Within a few seconds she caught back up to him. They were both five years old now and there was a noticeable difference in-between them. Nora had her hair barely past her chin and was already 48.'' Steven on the other hand looked like a five year old should, short hair and chubby cheeks. He was 36,'' making him look like a dwarf compared to Nora.
"You will do no such thing!" Pearl yelled in Nora's ear, grabbing her by the back of her shirt. She then proceeded to throw her to the ground and run over to Steven. "I'm so sorry you had to go through that! Are you ok?"
"I'm fine, we were playing tag. I love it when we play tighter." Steven replied standing up. Pearl then walked back to Nora.
"You heard him, go play tag." Pearl said pushing Nora up.
"What if I don't" Nora replied in an annoyed voice.
"Then no dinner." Pearl replied harshly. She then walked to the balcony to watch Steven and Nora 'play' tag.
"Nora play tag with me." Steven begged Nora as she sat down on the steps. They were now ten years old. Steven only grew to 45'' and Nora was now 56.'' Nora was in the middle of playing her guitar when Steven had sat down next to her.
"No, I'm busy." Nora snapped back. That was only partly true. Pearl was making her 'play' with Steven everyday or she would starve her. Nora found keeping her distance from Steven was the best idea. When she tried to talk with him Pearl always interfered.
"Please?" Steven begged giving her puppy dog eyes. Ignoring him she just walked away. She then ran into town to the alley way. No one knew of this place besides her. She needed someplace to herself after all. She then started playing songs on her guitar. This was her only thing that comforted her. Her dad gave this to her to only time she ever met him. She is never allowed to see him, ever. This is all she has.
"Like a small boat, on the ocean." She started to sing as she played. She had a very beautiful voice. Shame no one could hear it. Or so she thought.
"Because I've still got a lot of life left in me." She finished. As soon as she put down her guitar she hear clapping looking up she saw the group of kids called well, the Cool Kids. (AN: I think you all know what they look like) Standing up in shock she yelled, "Don't hurt me! Please!"
"Why would we? You sounded totally amazing." The girl, Jenny replied stopping Nora in her tracks.
"Really?" She replied surprised. No one had ever said anything nice to her before and truly meant it.
"Yeah, aren't you Steven's sister?" Buck replied.
"Yeah..." Nora replied deflated. Of course they were comparing her to Steven, what a surprise...
"Anyways, you want to be part of the Cool Kids." Jenny asked Nora making her slightly confused. They were really asking her to join. This was unheard of in beach city.
"Ok, are you sure?" Nora asked excitedly. She couldn't show it unless she knew for sure though.
"Yes I'm sure." Jenny replied, smiling as Nora ran over to her hugging her. This was going to be a start to something great, something amazing. Better than they could ever hope for. Well, for the time being.
