AN: Welcome to my first story that isn't PAW Patrol, thank you, thank you. This story takes place after the events of "Legs From Here to Home world," and takes place at Earth, while the Gems are at Homeworld.
Bismuth sighed, repairing the house's foundation. Steven and the other Gems had left to Homeworld, accompanied by Blue Diamond and Yellow DIamond. She refused to join them on their trip to Homeworld, and was content for the most part. The only downside was not being able to hang out with Garnet and Pearl, her dearest friends. Of course, she had a bigger responsibility, repair the house. Lapis Lazuli and Peridot were poofed during their last battle with the Diamonds. Greg did offer to stay with Bismuth to keep her company, although his main concern was Steven. He only hoped he was alright, but he trusted Garnet's statement, and made his main goal to take care of Cat Steven, and Lion, but Lion did a better job taking care of himself. Greg offered plenty of times to help in fixing the house with Bismuth, but each time, Bismuth refused his help.
Greg, feeling defeated, gently let Cat Steven down on Lion's mane, while Lion laid down on the sand. Cat Steven, content, happily burrowed herself into Lion's mane, making herself comfortable, and Lion didn't mind either. Greg turned to the house, watching Bismuth on the roof, why she decided to fix the roof before the outside wall was none of Greg's concern, seeing how he didn't dare talk back to most new gems, he learned that way with Peridot. "Hey Bismuth, I'm gonna check on Peridot and Lapis. You fine with staying out here for a bit?"
Bismuth, a bit busy, and distracted, didn't hear what Greg had to say. She turned to Greg, "oh, what did you say Human?"
"You can just call me Greg you know. And I'm just going inside to check on Lapis and Peridot. Are you going to be fine out here by yourself," asked Greg, rubbing the back of his head nervously.
"Huh? Oh, yeah, go ahead, I'm just finishing up here. Thanks though," she gave him a smile before shapeshifting her arm into a hammer, and getting back to work on the roof.
Greg smiled, and walked into the house. He looked to the Kitchen, which was almost completely destroyed, thanks to the damage caused by Blue Diamond's ship, then again, it was partly the Cluster's fault, for it did wreck both Diamonds ships. Greg sighed, turning to Steven's loft, climbing up and staring at Lapis and Peridot's gems, both wrapped in a neat little blanket. "Hmm, it doesn't look like you two are coming back anytime soon. Kinda reminds me that time Rose… Well… Pink Diamond now, uhm poofed. Hehe, now I'm rambling, heh. I hope you both reform soon. Good thing Bismuth and I are here to make sure nothing happens." Greg laughed, getting up. "Well, like I said before, I-" Greg was cut off short when Lion ran into the house, followed by the pink feline jumping atop of Steven's bed and laying across it, not to mention on the two gems. "Ack! Lion, you're lying on Lapis and Peridot! Bad Lion, very bad!" Greg scolded Lion, while trying to move the giant feline off of the two. When that didn't seem to work, he reached under Lion, feeling the smooth exterior of one of the gemstones. "Ha! Lion, get off!" Greg pulled with all of his might, that was the case until Lion rolled onto his side, and Greg fell back, tumbling down the stairs and onto the hardwood floor. "Ugh…"
Looking down to see if the gem he pulled out wasn't cracked or injured, he found out that it was Peridot's gem he retrieved from under Lion. But almost magically, the gem began to glow mystically. The gem slowly floated into the air from Greg's palms, and in a brilliant flash, followed by a white figure appearing from the gem, Peridot was reformed, but she did fall not so gracefully, face planting into the ground. "Eep! Peridot, are you alright," asked Greg, getting up and rushing to the small green gem.
Peridot groggily gave him a thumbs-up. Greg of course grabbed her arm and assisted her in standing. "I'll live… What's going on? Where is everyone? Where's LAPIS?! Where is LAPIS?! I-I-"
"Peridot, please calm down, Lapis is over there in her gem," Greg pointed over to Lion.
"Hey! Get that thing off of her," shouted Peridot. She quickly ran up the steps, grabbing Lapis's gem, and backing away from Lion, followed by a hiss, which earned a growl from Lion, and a mewl from Cat Steven. Lion rolled his eyes, before going back to laying down, and Cat Steven easily dozed off in Lion's mane.
"Ah, you're safe…" Peridot let out a sigh of relief, pulling Lapis's gem close to her chest.
Greg smiled down at Peridot, "you must really care about her, don't you?"
"How can I not, she means alot to me… W-What's it to you Clod?! Don't make me push you off the roof again!"
"Whoa, don't worry, I don't mean anything by it, and please, don't throw me off the roof again," Greg replied nervously.
"Precisely." Soon, Lapis's gem began to glow, in a similar fashion to Peridot's before, but the gemstone didn't float up upon the light glowing. Instead, Lapis began to reform in Peridot's grasp, a white silhouette forming into Lapis's shape. Soon enough, Lapis had reformed, and on top of Peridot. "L-Lapis…"
"Peridot… I missed you so much," Lapis gave her a quirky smile.
"I missed you too," Peridot laughed, followed by a large hug. Lapis laughed with her, holding her closely. Greg, as a bystander, felt fairly awkward, but did enjoy the moment, regardless, he was only thinking of himself and Rose, but that wasn't concerning him, he started staring off.
"Wait… Where's Steven?!" Lapis cut the reunion short, snapping Greg out of his trance, and causing Peridot to flinch. Peridot soon started to think the same question, "yeah, and the other gems!"
"Doh boi," Greg sighed, rubbing the back of his head nervously. "Well, you two better get comfortable, and better not freak out… Now, you see, Steven and The Gems-"
AN: The Next Chapter should be out by Friday, August 24th. And that's if I'm Lucky.
