Confession time.

About my story, Unfused and Unbroken…

I'm discontinuing it.

I'm sorry. I've just lost my enthusiasm for that story, and instead, will be focusing on this story along with my numerous Undertale projects. It involves many OCs, many of whom come from Homeworld and one who was formed in the Kindergarten. It also has many characters I've never written before, so bear with me.

Oh, and, it's my first chapter written in first-person, so don't judge it too harshly.

My name is Blue Topaz, and I'm a Gem. I was formed in the Kindergarten by Mama, who visited me as much as she could at first, but I haven't seen her in a long time. How long has it been? A month? A year? I don't know. It's hard to keep track of time in the Kindergarten. Mama wanted me to learn how to summon my weapon before she took me away from here, but I didn't, and she stopped visiting. I don't know why. Did I do something wrong?

I do know that Mama was the best Mama I could have ever had. She was nice, and pretty, and really smart, too! Even though I'm small, she told me that I'd grow, and she was right! I'm a lot bigger than I used to be.

Still, I can't help but wonder…

Where are you, Mama? What did I do?

Since Mama doesn't visit anymore, I'm by myself most of the time. Sometimes, a purple Gem with white hair comes to the Kindergarten, but I stay out of sight. One time she came here with another Gem, one that didn't look like a Gem. A third one, with hers right in the middle of her forehead, came and she and Purple Gem got into a big fight. I hid far away, scared of getting hurt, even though Mama said as long as my Gem is intact, I'll come back.

A little while ago, those three Gems plus a green one and a big one came to the Kindergarten. They left, but Purple Gem, Weird Gem, and Green Gem came back later. I stayed out of sight all the time. Maybe they weren't nice Gems like Mama.

Actually, they were kind of scary, and none of them seemed to be very happy when I saw them. I'm lonely in the Kindergarten, but none of them were Mama.

I miss you, Mama. Come back soon, please!

I climb up the cliff using the grooves in its surface. It's a somewhat entertaining activity, but I can't stop thinking about Mama. She's the one who taught me to climb the cliffs carefully so I wouldn't shatter my Gem. The farthest I've ever been from the Kindergarten is at the top of those cliffs. I'm too scared to explore without Mama, even though she's stopped visiting.

I reach the top and look over the whole area. The Kindergarten is huge! With Mama missing, I've explored every inch of it. She used to tell me that other Gems were made here, and that those other Gems mostly went with bad ones, who forced them to do things. She'd smile and tell me I was the most special Gem ever, that she'd made me that way.

"Where are you?" I sigh, hanging my head in despair.

Suddenly, someone grabs me from behind. I let out a yelp of fear as they turn me to face them.

They're a huge orange Gem, with long hair and their Gem right in the middle of her face, like a nose. That's when I realize this Gem is a she. She looks… angry.

"Who are you?!" I yelp. She gives a scary grin, like the Jaspers Mama used to show me in old battles. This scary Gem is a Jasper.

"My name's Jasper!" she booms in a deep voice, bringing me closer to her face. "Who are you, runt?"

"I-I'm B-Bl-Blue T-Topaz!" I sputter. She narrows her eyes.

"You're a Topaz? Figures I'd find a Gem that's good for nothing."

Anger takes over my fear and I glare at Jasper.

"I AM NOT GOOD FOR NOTHING!" I yell. "MAMA SAID I'M THE MOST SPECIAL GEM EVER! SHE MADE ME THAT WAY!" Jasper blinks in shock, then looks even more confused.

"Who's 'Mama'?" she asks.

"Mama's the Gem who made me, right here in the Kindergarten. She's tall with big, curly pink hair and a white dress…"

Jasper shakes her head. I don't like the way she's smirking…

"Oh, Topaz. Hate to be the one to break it to ya, but Rose Quartz, your 'Mama', is gone, and she's never coming back."

To Jasper's and my own surprise, I punch her with all my strength and send her backwards. I fall to the ground and get back up to see Jasper also getting up.

"You little BRAT!" she screams, running for me. I drop off the edge of the cliff and hide in a hole not far down, sending a rock to the bottom to trick Jasper. Mama always told me that brains usually bested brawn, and I definitely have brains over Jasper's brawn. She falls past me, and I realize what's about to happen before she even hits the bottom.

Poof.

I see her physical form destroyed at the foot of the cliff and carefully climb down.

Her Gem lies on the ground and I watch it until she begins to reform. Once she finishes, she stares at me with an odd expression.

"Why… why didn't you just shatter me?" she asks.

"Because Mama told me that every Gem deserves forgiveness, even ones that try to hurt you."

"Have ya ever been outside this place, kid?"

"… no. Mama wanted me to learn how to summon my weapon before she took me out of here."

"Well, since Rose isn't around… why don't you and I stick together?"

I can't explain it, but I feel like trusting Jasper will be a good thing.

"Okay! Let's go!"

Jasper lifts me onto her shoulders and I leave the Kindergarten for real.

Is Mama really gone?

If she is, then Jasper can be my new big sister! She'll protect me. I can tell…

And that's the end of chapter one!

Given the Jasper-hate the fandom has, even I was surprised I picked Jasper for the big-sister role. Then again, we also don't have a lot of information on Jasper as a character. I thought giving her a sweet, innocent character to play off of like Blue Topaz would be interesting. Not to say that Blue will continue to be as sweet and innocent as she is, but it'll be cool to see how they influence each other.

So long and thanks for all the fish!
