Welcome to the Stripe Team Base

The desert heat was almost unbearable! It was hot...typical of a summer day and the Cactus were the only thing move...as the cactus can move about the planet. The only thing that doesn't move is the villages, city and the Stripe Team Base. Everything else, like oceans and mountains, forests and volcanoes, deserts and tundras move around the planet instead of the planet spinning as much as Earth would. Under a huge boulder, that is fixed into the entrance of a hatch, is the only way in and out of the base of the Stripe Team, other than the take off bay for the ships. Emerald was wandering around inside until she came upon a large greenhouse.

"Ahh! love the smell of flowers in the morning," Emerald whispered, taking in a deep breath. "Time to get to work then!" she cheerfully picked up a watering can and started watering carefully all of the flowers and trees, she came to her pride and joy, a rare flower called Kyrpse, it's pick leaves and red, purple and blue flowers always made winter seem warmer.

"What is this!" Emerald exclaimed, her flower looked almost dead, it took a week for her to summon a seed and she wasn't ready to lose it now after 10 years of growing. She ran out the greenhouse and into a room labelled 'Amethyst's Dojo'. Inside Amethyst was busy doing some Tai Chi. She looked around at Emerald.

"What is it?" Amethyst asked, seeing Emerald looking very worried.

"It's my Kyrpse! Something is wrong with it! I just checked on it a minute ago and it seems nearly dead!" Emerald panted. Amethyst nodded and followed Emerald, she knew how much the flower meant to Emerald. The greenhouse was warmer, musky and more humid than in the cool, breezy dojo. Emerald walked over to the flower and Amethyst looked carefully at it.

"I'll have some forest sprites take a look and try and revive it, but in the mean time, try not to worry ok?" Amethyst replied, Emerald nodded slightly.

"Thanks Amethyst," Emerald answered, a few small orbs of light appeared after Amethyst called out, they circled the flower and Amethyst led Emerald out of the greenhouse.

"It will be fine ok? I think Jet needs someone to play around with," Amethyst smiled, Emerald nodded and left. She heard some giggling and turned to a door saying 'Sapphire's Ocean'. Of course there couldn't be a full sized Ocean underground so they made a scaled down one...fish and all. Emerald walked inside and saw a small island where Sapphire was, playing with some seals. Emerald smiled.

"Having fun Sapphire?" Emerald giggled, Sapphire looked over and laughed, she walked on the surface of the water and reached Emerald/

"You could say that," Sapphire smiled, Emerald hugged Sapphire and laughed when a seal licked her in the face.

"Hey!" Emerald laughed.

"Swift!" Sapphire laughed, she gently pushed the seal back into the water. "Are you ok?"

"I've seen better days," Emerald sighed, explaining what had happened earlier.

"Oh dear! That;s horrible! I hope those forest sprites can do something to help," Sapphire said sympathetically. Emerald nodded. "Well don't worry, they will do everything they can," Emerald smiled

"Thanks Sapphie!" Emerald joked.

"Don't call me Sapphie!" Sapphire laughed, she pushed Emerald out the room and closed the door. Emerald continued on her way down the hall, she saw Citrine's room, 'Citrine's Lightning Rod' and it was, if ya weren't smart, ya would just walk in, but get shocked in the process. She knocked quickly and the familiar soft, not to deep and not too high voice rang.

"C'mon in!" Citrine called, Emerald walked in a few steps and stopped just as lightning struck the space in front of her, she walked forward and hugged him, he froze.

"Hey Cit!" Emerald laughed, Citrine gave her a look.

"No huggy, k kiddo?" Citrine ruffled up the fur on Emerald's head and she laughed.

"Ok ok!" Emerald laughed, she looked around the room and saw plenty of lighting rods to keep the lightning away from computers and things electrical. Citrine's room was the main power source room anyway.

"Ya ok?" Citrine asked, looking at her out the corner of his eye while he was typing something on a laptop.

"Yeah, I guess so," Emerald replied, Citrine smiled and nodded.

"Best get outta here unless ya wanna be burnt," Citrine warned, Emerald got the idea and ran out the room before the room was hit by countless bolts of lightning.

"That room...scares me," Emerald shuddered, She got up and walk over to a slide and jumped down it, she went WEEEEE all the way down until she came down to the bottom. She got up and grabbed a fan and started waving it, this was Ruby's floor and it was HOT! Mainly as there was a stream of magma flowing down a small river like thing. She walked along and knocked on Ruby's bedroom door, she looked in and saw no one there, she closed the door and walked into a room called 'Ruby's Volcano'.

"Ruby?" Emerald called, looking around, the out of no where, Ruby appeared, hanging onto a bar with her tail so she was upside down.

"Yeah?" she asked, looking at Emerald.

"Um...message," Emerald replied, taking out a fire proof note and handing it to her, she read it and nodded.

"Fine fine, now Unless ya wanna stay for the midday eruption, I suggest ya run," Ruby smirked, Emerald paled and ran for dear life. She jumped into a lift and shot up, just in time to miss the eruption. She then flew out the lift and rolled into Amber's room, Amber looked up.

"Hello Emerald, nice of you to roll in," Amber smiled, Emerald got up.

"Sorry, had to run to miss the eruption," Emerald replied. Amber nodded.

"I know, if you want to see Jet she's in the 'Tornado Alley'," Amber replied, Emerald nodded and left, she closed the door to 'Yin Yang World' (cheesy I know!) and left. She knocked on one last door and Jet's face appeared.

"HI!" Jet shouted

"HI!" Emerald said at the same time, they hugged each other and walked into the room Jet was in, only to laugh at each other being blown about the place.
