Pearl gazed at the moon above. It's light shined dimly through the clouds. Bathing all of beach city and it's streets in soft moonlight. The world was quiet at night. It was the only time she could collect herself, and reflect among everything she thought about during the day. The small things like organization and what color socks go in what drawer, and the big things like finding Peridot. All things that needed to be thought about, but only at this time of night. The time where would sit in Steven's room, and watch him sleep. It was a strange habit, but she always admired the way a human could simply turn off. It was strange to her. The moon hung brightly in the sky, casting a light into the room, landing on Steven's head. Pearl moved her view to Steven, the light shinning on his head made him turn to his side. Pearl watched in interest. Then a shadow flicked passed the light, for just a brief second. Pearl's head spun toward the window. A thud was heard outside, accompanied by some clicks and turns of a gear. Pearl summoned her spear as she neared the window. She peeked toward the bottom. There wasn't anything there. She walked back away from the window and sat back in her chair.

"Perhaps it was just the wind." She gave herself some false hope, but the paranoia held in the back of her head. She was tapping her hand against her leg softly as she sat, distracting herself from the strange noise she heard before. It was then that another shadow fell to the ground, with the same thud. She ran to window and looked down quickly. There was some dust specs settling to the ground, shimmering on the sand. She readied her spear by the window, now she would see what ever was falling. It took about 10 minutes, but sure enough, something had made its way to the top of the beach house. This time Pearl looked out the window, and to the rood she spotted a figure, a tall, slender man, creeping on the roof of the house. He was tip-toeing on the roof when he slipped on something. He didn't make a sound as he fell, Pearl catch the man but he fell seemingly fast. She watched as he thudded on the ground. After about a couple seconds, the strange clicking noise was heard,and the body dissipated into the air. Pearl was shocked, was it a human, possibly, or was it a gem monster who would try to harm Steven, more likely. She slowly walked to the roof, spear in hand. She waited in the dark for the creature to appear again. 10 minutes passed until something strange occurred. For just a second, what looked like television static appeared in the shape of a human, then a person blinked into existence. It was a boy. He had blond hair that stood in the front, with big oval glasses and tan skin. He was wearing what looked like a grey sweatshirt and sweatpants. His right arm was covered with a large glove covered with wires and metal. He was wearing old shoes that looked like they had been through hell, and he didn't look like he was wearing socks. Pearl blew it off as another thief. She grabbed her spear and encountered the boy. She questioned who he was, but the boy wouldn't respond. He tried to back away but he met the back of the statue that the house rested on. He had a look of fear in his eyes, having just met this crazy spear lady, wouldn't you do the same?

"I said, who are you!" Pearl barked at the boy. The boy nervously looked left and right, seeing the edge of the roof. He began to run for the ledge. He laughed as he jumped off to the ground below. Pearl watched in confusion as the boy surely had just broken most of the bones in his body on impact, but again, the body vanished into thin air, and ten minutes later, he reappeared. This time Pearl grabbed him by the shirt.

"Wow, you're still here? You must be smarter then I thought." The boy's voice was shaky and nervous with a Latin American accent, "Do you mind putting me down?"

Pearl frowned and tightened her grip, "Why? So you could jump off the roof again and reappear like you did the last 5 times?"

"Actually I did it 8 times, I just fell off the wrong side the last few." The boy chuckled but Pearl only got angrier. His laugh was quick and snappy, it got to Pearl pretty easily. Pearl demanded to know his name. The boy mumbled a few times but not after Pearl shook him once. His name was Mekhi, but that's all he had to tell her. The boy joked as he asked her what he name was, and Pearl gave him the whole Crystal Gems announcer addition.

"I? I am Pearl, of the Crystal Gems of Earth." She held her spear with intimidating might. The boy gave her a quick clap and asked her if there was a bathroom. Pearl counted the question with a simple, yet somewhat complicated, "How did you not die?"

"It's a long story, and if you want to hear it you're gonna have to let me take a dump." The boy's voice sounded less nervous, but more quick and snappy. Pearl frowned as he grabbed Mekhi by the arm, dragging him to the basement. She mumbled some insult to human's and the boy immediately caught on. The two began a heated argument, somehow managing to whisper angrily as if they were actually yelling.

"Human's lives a short an insignificant! We Gems are too advanced for age, time isn't even an issue for us!" The boy twitched with anger at the mention of the word time.

"We humans can do a lot! And I can prove it to you!" The boy huffed, "We can be compassionate, and innovative, and...even evil!" The boy angrily clenched his fists, "We human's can do three times as much as Gem's have done in their millions of years alive!"

Pearl smirked, "And how do you manage to do that?"

The boy held out his hand for a handshake, "I have a deal, if you travel with me for only one day, I can prove to you that we humans are just as good, even better then Gems." Pearl looked around. It was only one day, the Gems would be fine, first she had to show this brat who the dominant race was. She shook the boy's gloved hand, but he didn't let go. Instead his glove began to glow, the two turned to static as the boy laughed, the last words Pearl heard were:

"First stop, Egypt."
