Hello my friends. My name is Crow or at least that's what you will call me. Anyways, welcome to the first chapter of "Unstable Energies". I have been a fan of Steven Universe for a long time and I recently got my friend in to the show so we decided why not write a fanfiction. This is my first FanFic and also my first time writing on this website. I do not have Word for writing these stories so me and my friend have to go over everything manually and as you can imagine that makes it easy for spelling and grammatical errors to get through so look out for those and yell at me for it in the reviews. Also I have never use this website so there might be a few formatting problems at first. Now that the formalities are out of the way. Thank you for reading and don't forget to review.

I do not own Steven Universe or any of It's characters. All rights go to Rebecca Sugar

The only characters I own are my OCs (and my friend's)

Unstable Energies
Book 1: Homeworld

Chapter 1: "Need A Hand"

It was about sunset, the sky orange over the desolate cliffy area that had the life seemingly sucked out of it, only more personified by the body shaped holes and giant drill machines that polka dotted the landscape. Everything was quiet and peaceful, nothing moving as if the slightest stir would shatter the world, and it seemed almost as if the entire area was asleep.

Deep into the dead landscape, a body shaped chunk much like the other holes, but higher up and separated from the many others, began to glow as the rock shakes and crumbles, bursting forward in a brilliant glow as a bright orange gem with an rose cut(not cut in the shape of an actual rose but the rose cut used in jewelry) produces from the newly created hole, floating mid-air with a vibrant glow. The gem descends slowly towards the ground stopping ten feet above the rocky, dusty surface as a form enveloped in light builds around the gem, forming first a rag doll like body that then turns into a tall, prominent, feminine form before it quickly starts glitching and instead forms a slightly smaller male form which then drops to the ground with a loud thud.

When he first opened his eyes the new gem lay where he found himself on the ground, and decided it better to lay there for a few moments to let the dizziness, which had quickly forced it's way into his head, go away and also to let his vision clear. Once his head cleared and his sight had returned, he stood to examine the area around him, he instantly noticed the soft warm glow of the setting sun and the still peaceful silence of the area that most would have found slightly unsettling, but instead, he found it calming, tranquil, almost comforting. He stood there for what felt like an eternity without thinking, without moving, just taking the peaceful setting in.

Then, in an instant, the scene was broken by a body shaped chunk of the cliff opposite to the one he had just emerged from began to shake and glow. He stood still watching from afar, so to avoid the product of the event in case it was dangerous, but as he watched he saw the rock and dirt propel from the hole producing a red-purple tinted gem with a baguette cut(once again not in the shape of an actual baguette but the baguette cut used in jewelry). The gem, as had his, began to float towards the ground stopping at ten feet above the surface, and once again much like his own formation, the gem was wrapped in a vibrant body made of light first making a rag doll body then changing into a large, strong looking form with long jagged hair. The form began glitching, shrinking slightly and forming a male gem with medium length hair and light red skin. The new gem then falling to the ground landing on it's back with a thud, and, unalike himself, the red gem sat up almost instantly, looking around confused.

This was all it took for him to know that the red gem wasn't a threat, and, without a moment of hesitation, he began running towards the red skinned gem, who seemed to notice him and looked startled at first, but then he seemed to calm down almost instantly. He seemed to be examining the gem running towards him. Deciding that he should do the same, the running gem instantly starts looking over the sitting gem.

He has light red tinted skin that seems almost pink as well as red medium length hair that is purple around his roots and towards the ends of each strand, which also seemed to be smoking for a short moment. His eyes are a color in between red and purple, not quite one or the other but a blend of the two. The red gem is wearing a long sleeve purple shirt that goes slightly over his legs and is tied with a black sash around his waist that matches his black gloves and the thin black layer of fabric that lays over and around his shoulders, all having a bright red trim around the edges. His pants were red and seemed to connect to his black boots, much like his sleeves and gloves.

Stopping in front of the red gem with a slight smirk and offering him a hand, while also noticing the gem that had emerged from the mountain was now at the base of his neck on his back, the older of the two newly formed gems asked, "Need a hand?".

The Red gem, who had just fallen on his back, sat up quickly. Scanning his surroundings, he noticed he was in what looked like a dead canyon sucked of all life. That's when he noticed the tall, pale orange figure running towards him. At first he was surprised and was about to jump up and run, but then he felt a sudden calming sensation flow over him like, "This gem isn't going to hurt me, but instead he's going to help me". So he quickly shifted from trying to escape to examining the gem running towards him.

The gem is tall, about the same height as him, and has pale orange skin that almost seems white as well as vibrant orange eyes and a slightly lighter shade of orange for his short hair. He wears a short yellow cape that covers his shoulders over his orange short sleeved shirt that ends in a point halfway down his thighs and is tied at the waist by a black sash that matches his finger-less gloves and black boots that come six inches up his shins and cover part of the legs of his yellow pants.

As the orange gem came to a halt in front of him while slightly smiling and showing his teeth, which the red gem swore he saw spark, then lowering a hand to help him up with a cheesy remark of "Need a hand?"

He accepts the helpful hand with a simple, "Yeah, thanks," before grabbing the outstretched gesture and using it to lift himself off the ground. Once he was standing, he takes one look around and asks the orange gem, "So uh... where are we exactly?"

The orange gem, who seems taken back from this statement, turns to look around, at which point the red gem saw the bright orange gem located on the orange gem's lower back, and replies: "I don't know, I emerged here shortly before you. I'm not really sure where we are but it looks like there's a field over that way we should probably go through when we decide to leave. But for now, what's your name?"

Taking a second to think about it, his name eventually came to him, "My name is... Umbalite... I think. And you?"

"Spessartine at your service!" He ends the statement with a slight bow.

"Okay, so if we wanna get out of here we might wanna start walking."

"Right, but we may need some light since it's dark now," Spessartine replied, motioning towards the sky which had turned dark during their exchange.

"Hold up, I got this," As he finished his statement, Umbalite's gem began to glow, engulfing the area around them in a bright torchlight.

"Neat... and practical."

They then began walking out of the "dead canyon" into the field and toward a train station some distance away.

"Move forward six and collect three bacon cards... YES! I win, woooohoooo!" Steven exclaims as he rolls backwards, holding his arms and legs in the air.

"Man this game is rigged," Connie says, tossing her cards into the air while trying to put on a mad face until ultimately failing and rolling backwards in her own fit of giggles.

The two jam buds were sitting in Steven's house playing their favorite board game: "Kitchen Calamity".

Once the two had both finished their laughing fits, Connie sat up and looked around.

"Where are the gems?"

Usually one of the gems Garnet, Amethyst, or Pearl stay and watch the kids while they have one of their sleep overs, but today there were none present.

"They had to go on a mission. They probably won't be back till tomorrow."

"I don't think my mom will like me staying here over night with no parental supervision... or would they just be legal guardians?"

"Don't worry, my dad will be over later. We could probably get him to stay here with us while the gems are gone."

"Nice! And tomorrow we could go see "Dogcopter 3" in 3D!"

"But that's been out of theaters for weeks!"

"It's on back in theaters for 2 weeks during the special new breakfast cereal release."

"This is gonna be soooo good I can't wait! Oh wait, we have to get snacks before we go to the theater."

"And this time let's have your dad drive us so we don't get teleported to a secret location and then have to battle a giant robot."

As they ended their exchange, there was an awkward pause, then they both fell back in fits of laughs and giggles.
