I would Like to thank Gracie ghost for giving me a few pointers and reformatting this
"Jet, where are we going?" a weary looking figure asked her friend as they trudged through the sand on a beach they were currently on. "I don't know, but we both know that if we stay in one place long enough humans could be hurt. So quit your whining, there's a human village a couple miles ahead and since we were just attacked by a corrupted gem we should be fine for a while, plus there's apparently some weirdo named Ronaldo who's made headlines a couple of times. He reports on the strange things that go on in the village up ahead, Beach Town I think? Anyway, there's most likely more remnants out there so we should keep going."
"But there won't be, Jet!" the green gem said exasperated. "You need to be a realist like me and stop being so optimistic. In fact, I think you and I are the last non-corrupted gems left out there just doing what we can for earth just like Rose wanted."
The Jet black gem walking beside Diopside hugged her arms around herself and quickened her pace. "Let's just get there okay?"

The bell in Beach City's doughnut shop rang when the door was pushed open by a small boy. "Hey Sadie. One jelly chocolate doughnut please," the boy greeted the cashier. "Oh hey Steven! Sure, I'll get it for you." Steven leaned against the counter as his friend bagged his treat.
"So, anything exciting happen lately?" Sadie attempted to make small talk. Steven opened his mouth to answer but paused when the bell in the shop rang again as the door opened behind him. A black (literally black, Steven noted) person walked in followed by a tall green one who were having a heated argument about something but one they saw the black haired boy in front of them they stopped. The black one carefully sidled up to Steven. "Are you Ronaldo?" she asked.
"No, he's usually at the lighthouse." Steven answered with a smile. Blacky (that's the name Steven decided to call her until her knew her name) looked back at her companion uneasily. "Okay, um... where is the lighthouse, little boy?" she inquired.
"That"s easy, I'll show you! Sadie?" The boy held out a few dollar bills to the spaced out blonde. Sadie blinked out of her dazed. "oh, right! Here you go Steven." the cashier took the offered money and switched it with the paper bag holding the doughnut.
"So Steven is your name!" the green one blurted out. Blacky elbowed her and whispered into her ear. "Be careful, you might offend it."
Steven giggled. "You two act funny. Are you gems?" he asked and walked out of the shop. The two gems in question looked at each other, eyes bright. They ran out of the shop and followed the boy. Jet wanted to scream and ask him how he knew that but Diopside beat her to it, albeit more calmly. "Yes, how did you know that?" Steven walked backwards so her could face the pair. "well you two act weird, have a funny skin colour, and called me it. Plus I live with gems." Blacky and Greeny stooped in their tracks. A full 30 seconds passed before Blacky spun to face the gem beside her and started yelling. "I told you so!" se screamed. "All the whining and moaning" You're wrong,Jet. Jet there's no way, Jet we're the last gems!' And now there a human that lived with gems!" Jet (previously Blacky) processed that last sentence. Turning around, she peered curiously at the slightly frightened human. "Wait, where do you live?"
"Oh, on the other side of the beach on a temple! Follow me, I'll take you there!" Steven scampered off into the sand. Diopside scowled at Jet who looked away and trotted after their guide.
