Hello there, I haven't written a note at the top of a story in a long time... Whatever, any who. I don't know where I'm going with this so... enjoy.
Over the dusky horizon a small green gem leapt into the sky freeing herself from her pursuers. What exactly the three gems whom always broke her things and tried to capture her wanted from her she was unsure of, nevertheless she always managed to escape, to have free rein of Earth another day.
The gems after Peridot were an odd bunch. The leader, and tallest being a fusion of some sort. The fusion calling herself Garnet and acting as the main strategist of the three. The second, a lanky Pearl who seemed to live by her own rules not living under any of the other gems except maybe the boy. The boy had the abilities of a gem and the body of a human, his mere existence confused Peridot. The last, an obvious last arriving kindergarten gem, a small Amethyst. The three appeared to all in some way cater to the child. Maybe out of a sense of responsibility or maybe just because how much weaker he was then them. Regardless from everything she'd ever read these gems were exponentially strange in their belief system and their own personal ranking system being so opposite of homeworld's.
Seeing that the crystal pains had gone home she let herself down back into the kindergarten. Her only place of refuge being the old gem tech inside some of the structures. Moving some debris from her prior encounter she slipped into a small passage that led her to a large mechanical room. The Peridot snickered to herself as she booted up the computer in the center of the room. The last logs backed up from another Peridot like herself, the gem did video blogs and Peridot had been spending time watching every last older one before getting to this point.
"This will be my last log. The kindergarten is under attack. Pink Diamonds forces have crushed my escorts. They are coming for me next!" The taller than herself Peridot said in hysteria. "If you're watching this you need to get off of Earth! These rebel gems are merciless and have no loyalty!" The old forgotten Peridot pleaded to the screen. "I don't know what they are doing with the gems they capture but I have a feeling I'm going to find out!" The Peridot finished. The sound of the hatch being ripped open could be heard and she squealed in terror as she turned off the computer.
Present day Peridot sighed. A little shaken up she walked up to the entrance to find the hatch had indeed been torn off. If the crystal clods knew about this secret chamber why hadn't they tried to kidnap her from it already? As Peridot relaxed to rest her body, not to sleep only higher class gem fiddled around with that waste of time, she couldn't get the darker green Peridot with the gem on her neck out of her mind. Did the crystal clods still have her? The earth gems called themselves only 'The Crystal Gems' who was to say they were even affiliated with Pink Diamond. Maybe these gems were once rebels but had broken off from her and that's why they were still alive? With a heavy sigh she knew her curiosity wouldn't go away. She had to know what became of the Peridot in the log. With an annoyed sigh she found herself on her way to the very place the other Peridot might be.
She slowly stepped up the porch to the crystal clods home. The outside level was similar to any human creation ever, mainly made from the remains of organic material called trees. Not knowing how to approach the gems she let herself in quietly. Looking deep into the structure it became obvious the gems themselves had rooms similar, but technologically speaking way behind, than those on home world today. It was somewhat relieving to know her kind, even as mislead as them, chose not to live in such a primitive way such as humans. Stepping into the nest she could hear a soft snoring from a level above her. A set of built in ledges lead up to the snoring. It couldn't be one of the gems could it? Peridot quietly climbed them and peaked over the edge. It was the Steven sleeping in the bed and again Peridot felt a little relieved. She could take the Steven If he woke up and tried to capture her. After all the Steven was much smaller than her while she was in her current state.
Her limb extenders were a status symbol. Meaning she was above every other Peridot, she was still replaceable, but she had performed much better than the others so she got the limb extenders and plenty of tasks that let her travel the galaxy. Up until this point she had love doing work off her planet. But Earth was different, no gem tech or regular stationed gems here to speak of. Now that her screen was cracked and her warp back to the moon unknowingly smashed by the one called Garnet she was trapped here with no way to contact home world to send help. It didn't shock her no one came after her but the fact that Jasper had been missing so long with no gem looking for her made no sense. That Jasper in particular was one of the oldest still around and she was highly valued by the gem authority. The only reason she got sent after Peridot is because they happen to already been acquainted, though she was hot headed and angry a lot, at one point the two had be friends.
The triangle headed gem shook herself from her thoughts and took a final look at the sleeping Steven before climbing down to the center of the room. Despite the dark a sun roof let in enough light for Peridot to study the contraption before her. The hand of the user is what lead to witch room it took you. Peridot knew better than to try to see what would happen if she pressed her own palm to the rooms, it would alert the crystal gem in that room and get her caught. The Steven's snoring grew louder and Peridot became anxious convinced she would get caught any moment now.
Peridot wasn't wrong. The door in front of her whirled open and in complete panic she leapt to the higher level of the room and took the Steven in her arms. A single laser pointer at his head.
"Now listen up you dirt mound, you're going to back away slowly with your arms up if you hope to get the Steven back in one piece." Peridot said. Steven yawning and not struggling much due to him just waking up.
The small gem did as asked. The unruly mess of hair giving her away to be no other gem than Amethyst. The purple quartz was glaring daggers into the green one.
"Peridot... *yawn* what are you even doing here?" She said rubbing sleep from her eyes. The space Dorito didn't know what to say. Should she just be honest and tell her she was looking for the rectangular gemstone of the Peridot from the Kindergarten logs? Could these clods still have her stored away somewhere? Peridot laughed nervously.
"You clods are always trying to take me, how do you like it when I take one of you?" Peridot giggled manically and using one spinning set of fingers flew herself out of the house breaking through the glass of the sun roof on the way.
"Whaaah!?" Steven cried out at the sudden height. "Where are you taking me?" Steven whined not likening the height one bit. Peridot ignored her squirming captor.
