"Wake up dude." A voice said.
"Come on Freddy wake up, the phone is ringing and I don't want it to ruin my lazy Sunday," The voice said again.
"Shut it Greg I'm trying to sleep too you know, just check it and tell me who is the one calling us so early in the damn morning." Freddy said with an extremely lazy voice.
"Uhg fine let me check it, Freddy it's your mom calling"
"I'm coming I'm coming" he shouted back.
"He will be here just in a minute Mrs. Porter," Greg said to Freddy's mother.
"Thank you dear" Freddy's mom said in a cheerful voice*her name is Annie*.
"Mooooom, why do you always have to call me so early in the morning, I want to sleep you know" Freddy said whining to his mother.
"What are you talking about Fredrick? Its 11 am" Replied the mother.
"Mom I think we agreed that you will not call me by my full name anymore, my roommate is listening and you know what happens when he gets his dirty hands on a secret of mine, man I can still remember that nutshot prank I did and the way he said he is going to get revenge when I expect it the least" Freddy said with a worried voice.
"OH Freddy, take it like a man because what goes around comes around." Annie said while laughing
" Oh ha ha ha , you still haven't gotten over that soda prank did you mom, it was like 10 years ago and now I'm 26 years and you still haven't gotten over it I mean really?!" Exclaimed Freddy.
" I'm just joking with you Freddy , I mean what mother am I if I prank my little boy"* alright people it's time for me to explain some things well first of all about Freddy and Greg, they both work as a security guards in some high tech company in California. they are both the same age and share the same apartment because they cannot afford a one on their own though they achieved their bachelor degree in economics no one seem to want to hire them in that business, being best friends in college they remained together after graduation because friendship is magic "see what I did there" anyway neither one of them got any girlfriend and they still remain single to this day working as security guards due to their huge bodies for three years, three years saving money so they can leave California and look for another job. Annie on the other hand is a veteran detective that worked for 30 years in L.A police department while her husband worked as a doctor there. Freddy's parents married at a young age *in their 20* and that didn't stop them from achieving their goals in life. Annie became a detective while Bruce became a doctor and they had three kids, 2 boy and one girl Freddy being the youngest of them and okay that's all what I have to say for Freddy the protagonist and his friends and family. Now back to the story*
"Okay, now then what did you want to talk about? " Freddy asked.
"Well you see every year our family reunion is held by one family in the city they live in, this year it's your big brother's turn to host it" Annie answered.
"I remember he and his wife moved to beach city five years ago while I was in college, Martin is a dentist there while his wife Miranda is a vet. They called me once, told me the weather is nice "Freddy said.
"Well, it will happen next week so I want to see you there alright?" Inquired the mother.
"You know that I won't miss it even if it means the end of the world" Answered Freddy giving his mom some relief.
"That's all what I wanted to hear, see you there honey buns" Annie said cheerfully.
"Moooooom" Shouted Freddy in anger
His mother on the other side laughed so hard and then hanged up leaving Freddy standing in his place staring at the wall.
"I swear to god, geez why does she have to do this every time she calls." He thought to himself but he then got interrupted by Greg.
"What are wrong honey buns, feeling doooown" Greg said while teasing his friend.
"Shut the fuck up man!" Freddy shouted in anger and then threw a pillow to his friend only to hit him square in the face.
"Well I better get back to my bedroom because it's my lazy Sunday, don't mind me asking Freddy but why did your mom call all of a sudden? "Asked Greg
"Family Reunion, this year in beach city and I'm leaving next thursady"Replied Freddy with his lazy voice.
"So you're going to take a break huh, damn it you are leaving me alone there" Added Greg
Meanwhile in Beach City
"Gems inside the beach house right now" Garnet said calling all of her team.
Inside the beach house where every gem sat on the couch, Steven still outside with Connie but he got inside the house quick.
"I will tell you why I called you all of a sudden, crystal gems I had a vision..." and she was suddenly interrupted by Peridot, Lapis and Jasper entering the house.
"Why are you always late to our meetings sheeesh" Pearl said, annoyed by the fact that their new teammates are late.
"Chill it Pearl, it's only 15 minutes "Amethyst said while relaxing on the couch.
"Anyway, like I said I had a vision. A new gem will be added to our team "Garnet said
" Wooooow , a new team member cool. We will have so much fun" Steven said with a huge smile on his face
"Calm down kid" Jasper said
"Oops, he he sorry" Apologized Steven
"Like I said, we will have a new addition to our team. He will be scared and confused and we need to teach him our ways and make his life easier." Garnet said with her usual cool voice.
"What do you mean by he, oh no you don't actually mean" Peridot stopped talking and stared at Garnet who then nodded in agreement.
"Anyway, while I don't know what type or when is this gem going to be here we need to stay vigilant. We have to be careful dealing with this situation understood?" Garnet said only to see every one nod in agreement and then everyone left minding their own business.
"Do you think that this gem will be friendly Steven?" Asked Connie.
"I don't know Connie, but judging by what Garnet said she will be scared and confused. While I don't know what that means we have to wait and see" Steven answered
"Didn't Garnet refer to the new gem as *he* not a she? And aren't gems genderless?" Connie said adding more confusion to the conversation
"Don't worry Connie just have to wait and see, that's what we can do right now" Steven said calming his new girlfriend.
Back to California
Three day passed since that conversation with his mother, Freddy packed his clothes and got some money for the ride just in case he got hungry.
"So you are going to bounce on me like that, that's fucked up" Greg said
"Stop being such a bitch about it dude, it's only one week. I already told Mr. Lockhart about and he said ok," Freddy said while still packing some stuff. He then went to his car, started the engine.
"Just before I go, I got some new game, I left it in my room on the bed. Help yourself with it "Freddy said while smiling, He then gave his best friends a fist bump and went on the road.
Woohoo, my fifth story is here and it has called "My life as a crystal gem». Cool right, I had this idea for a long time ago. Nah who am I kidding I got this when I woke up in the morning, kept working on it for half of the day and then here you have it. While nothing is clear in the first chapter, the next ones will explain many things. Therefore, in celebration of my fifth story I will reveal or spoil if you want to think of it that way how "fusion" And «can you grant my wish?". Brain and ultimate bond, that is how they are going to end, see you in the next chapters.
Ps: still have at least 2 or three more stories that I am working
