Hey everybody, here is another story I'm doing where Beach City is a small town called Desert City because there is barely any water. Anyway all the gems will be human and they'll each play a role. I'm hoping yo continue this if I get somw good feedback.

Chapter 1

It was hot summer day in a town called Desert City, it used to be Beach City but all the water had dried up making it a sandy wasteland really. The citizens of Desert City seemed to get on with their lives pretty well seeing the conditions they're living in. There was barely any crime in Desert City, but that's what happens when you have a amazing sheriff. Her name is Garnet and she's tall with a whole cowboy outfit, her badge was on her chest pocket and her guns sat in their holsters on her hips. Her deputy was known as Amethyst and she carried a whip around, they weren't bad officers. Suddenly a little boy ran up to them and hugged Garnet, his name is Steven and is great friends with the sheriff and deputy due to his mother, Rose, being the previous sheriff. Steven plans to follow his mother's footsteps and become the sheriff.

"Hey Steven, what's up?" Amethyst asked.

"Did you hear? There's a new arrival in town, she is going to be singing at the saloon starting tonight" Steven answered.

"We'll check it out Steven" Garnet replied.

"Great! See you guys in our seats" Steven exclaimed running off to his father's place.

"A new singer huh? About time we got some new entertainment" Amethyst replied.

"Mmhm" Garnet mumbled continueing with her patrol, aside from settling a few disputes between some store owners the say was pretty boring. After their patrol Amethyst and Garnet walked into the saloon and sat at the table with Steven.

"I see you guys made it, you're just in time too" Steven replied. Suddenly the lights dimmed and very slow melody started to play from the piano across the stage, a spotlight then came on to reveal a tall, beautiful pale woman in a sparkling blue dress standing at a microphone. She had a lot of attention soon, almost every man in the saloon was whistling and hooting at the woman on stage.

"Holy crap, where did this woman come from? Heaven? Cause she's a real angel" Amethyst asked. Garnet just snickered at the deputy's compliment and continued looking on stage. Honestly Garnet couldn't have agreed more with Amethyst's compliment, the woman before her was absolutly breathtaking and her voice sound so sweet with a combination of high and low slow notes. She bent down near a couple men up front and grabbed one by the tie and pulled him close then she pushed him back into his seat. She then walked off the stage and began walking through the saloon until she came to Garnet's table. Garnet had her feet up on the table leaning back in her seat when she spotted the woman approaching her, you couldn't see it behind Garnet's glasses but she had surprised look on face. The woman came up to her and plucked her feet off the table putting them on the floor as she walked behind her still singing. She walked over to Amethyst and ruffled her hair earning a whine from the deputy then she smiled at Steven kindly, after walking through the crowd she walked back onto the stage and went into the end of her song. After it was over she went backstage while a bunch of people clapped and whistled including Steven and Amethyst. Garnet let a small smile show on her face but it disappeared when Amethyst elbowed her in the ribs. "Seems someone enjoyed hherself" Amethyst snickered.

"She was nice, beautiful even but she's probably already taken" Garnet replied.

"I saw her come in a carriage by herself aside from the driver who left after he dropped her off, she's alone" Steven explained.

"I'll go talk to her, I am the sheriff after all and introducing myself is common courtesy" Garnet replied standing up, she placed her dusty brown hat on and walked backstage. She spotted the woman sitting in a chair drinking a cup of what she assumed was tea, Garnet cleared her throat and walked over startling the woman making her jump slightly.

"Oh hello there! You scared me there" the woman exclaimed putting her cup down.

"My apologies, I am Sheriff Garnet and I thought it would be nice to come and introduce myself" Garnet replied taking off her hat.

"I figured out you were the sheriff from the badge on your shirt and the way you sat with authority" the woman explained.

"Very perceptive of you, may I have you name?" Garnet asked holding out her hand.

"The name's Pearl, pleasure to meet you Sheriff" Pearl answered gripping her hand, Garnet was fascinated by the very noticeable skin tones between the two. Garnet was a light chocolate color while Pearl was a really pale white, almost shining.

"Oh the pleasure's all mines Milady" Garnet replied kissing the back of her hand, "hope you enjoy our quaint little town, if you need anything the sheriff's department is in the middle of town. You can't miss it with giant star it has for a sign" she added.

"Ah thank you Sheriff, I'll be sure to visit" Pearl replied.

"Be seeing you then Pearl, have a good night" Garnet replied with a tip of her hat and leaving from backstage, she met up with Amethyst outside and they walked back to the sheriff's office. Garnet and Amethyst both shared a place and it wasn't very big but it was big enough for about three people, Garnet went into the bathroom to shower and rid herself of all the dirt and dust. When she stepped out Amethyst was standing there waiting for her shower.

"So, you introduced yourself? What was she like? Did you tell her about me?" Amethyst asked.

"Yes I introduced myself, she is wonderful and no I didn't introduce you. You can do that yourself" Garnet answered walking out the bathroom.

"I'll just introduce myself tomorrow then" Amethyst replied going to take her shower. After getting dressed in night clothes Garnet began shinning her badge and cleaning her guns, she never really used them but it's good to make sure they're ready for use when the time comes. Afterwards Garnet laid on her bed and went to sleep content on what she accomplished today, she had to admit that she may have a thing for Pearl. She was clumsy yet graceful in a cute way and her voice was like made of silk when she talked or sang, Garnet smiled as she drifted off to sleep with a smile on her face. Amethyst stood in the doorway and smiled at her lifelong friend, when Garnet was happy she couldn't help be happy for or with her.

"Maybe this is the one, the one she's been looking for" Amethsy replied to herself walking to her room.
