It was coming to night and Ruby and her 2 (Knuckles and Blades ,shoulder blades see what i did there) other soldier companions had to bring the princess Sapphire back to her Throne room.

"Are you sure you don't wanna stay a BIT longer? I mean we still have time." Ruby said. Knuckled just laughed, her friend was desperate. "Well, I am not going to be sleeping at this hour, Obviously. There is too much to get done in the throne room. I only need the assistance of one Ruby guard." She answered.

The 3 of them exchanged looks and then Knuckles finally said something. "Ah, Me and Blades are kinda tired from working all day in the Neon Fields (Nickname for a training area) I guess Ruby is the only one who's really.. Uh.. Not tired." She said.

Blades, The quiet one, spoke up. Her deep voice dominating anyone's before hers.

"Yes. Knuckles is right, We ought to head back to our cubbies. Maybe stop by the amethysts and hang out for a bit." Blades turned in the opposite direction, gesturing for Knuckles to follow.

Sapphire was confused about what just happened. They only went to the Neon fields for aprox 13 hrs. For them to be out of energy to help in the throne room requires at least 30 to 40 hours of Training. Neon Field's speed things up too so all of this time should be cut in half, So they only spent 6 hours there.

"You're friends are, I hate to say it, Lazy. If they were to act in such way around Morganite or Holly Blue Agate, She might be benched or Shattered. Everyone needs to show devotion and no lack of motivation." She scowled.

"Heh, Yeah.. They're kinda loud too." Ruby nervously said, rubbing the back of her head, playing with her messy curls.

"Come with me, We need to organize my bedroom." Sapphire said. A small smile creeping across their face.

Soon they were in the Princess' bedroom. So elaborate with decorations and Detailed. Boroque furniture and Fancy linen dresses. An elegant Bed, King sized, With draped on each side, Reminded ruby of Blue diamonds Palaquine.

"My clarity, May I a-ask you a question." Ruby asked as she awed over the grand room she was in.

Sapphire noticed this and smiled a mutual smile. "Yes, ask away."

Ruby blushed at the beautiful face of the Sapphire before her. "Are you going to ask me something?" Sapphire said, She wasn't growing impatient, just curious.

"O-oh! Yeah I was. Don't you, Uh, I'm not backing out of this, I really wanna do this but, Don't you have a Pearl alongside you that could help us out?" Ruby stuttered as her eyes avoided any contact with the Royalty infront of her.

"Yes, I do. Shall I call her?" Sapphire asked, A smile still on her face. She thought the guard was cute when she stuttered. But no, A higher up with a Guard? Was she out of her mind? She quickly removed any romantic thought about the Guard.

"Sure. It'll go faster that way we maybe could watch some Television." Ruby said, an over enthusiastic grin spread across their face. (Like naruto's wide grin :3)

Sapphire flushed at the adorable and handsome face of the Joyful Ruby soldier infront of her. "Y-yes. *Ahem* Pearl! Come here!" She clapped her hands in awaiting fashion. Sorta like the 'Chop chop, hurry up' thing people do.

"Y-yes my clarity-" The pearl was a Green colored pearl, Her hair was in a neat bun that suited her narrow head. Her eyes were a deep green and she was wearing a green dress much like Blue pearl's.

The pearl though, Green pearl, Stopped as soon as she saw the Ruby. She couldn't describe the feeling. The resting face of the gem was.. Well, a smirk. This gem was enthusiastic and she hated it and loved it. Not to mention their curly, beautiful hair. Such texture. She felt to need to tug at them until...

"Pearl!" Sapphire said in a louder but none the less respectful tone. Sapphire wasn't the type to go flaunt her power in people's faces. She was one of them and they were one of her. A gem at the least.

Pearl blushed and continued to walk forward, eyeing the red gem who wasn't paying attention to her but to the Sapphire.. Odd.

"Organize this mess, hurry please, Before Blue diamond gets here."

Blue diamond was some sort of Mother figure to sapphire.

"Yes my clarity, But may I ask you a question?" The pearl said, secretly snatching glances at the Ruby right beside her.

"Go on, make it quick though." Sapphire sat upright from her comfortable position.

"Ah, Why is there a.. Guard in your.. Sleeping quarters?" She asked, a hint of disgust was traced.

"Oh, this is my friend." Sapphire placed a small, gloved hand on the Ruby's broad, muscular shoulder.

A small blush spread the Soldier's face.

'Friend?' She thought to herself, She never thought she was be friends with a higher up, A HOT Higher up.

"Oh. Well I must start my duties then." Pearl said, trying not the urge the topic anymore.

Sapphire wanted to question the odd behaviour today from the pearl but rathered not, Her visions told her that it'll end bad.

"Let's go watch tv." Sapphire said, grabbing the giant rough hands of the Soldier. Her hand couldn't wrap around the wrist. Both of their faces flushed and they ran to the living area.

Ruby Guffawed, Pointing at the tv. Something hilarious just happened, From a show called Steboni Universe. A show where theres a bunch of colourful people with stones on their bodies and they're all male.. Also the parents of the kid called steboni had names like Steven and Connie. What a weird show.. (o-o)

As ruby laughed, her rough voice became higher. It made sapphire uncomfortable and blush madly. Why was this lower rank so.. How should She put it... Handsome, Charming, Beautiful features, Muscular. She could go on for days. But what really stuck out was Personality and her respect and boundaries. She would go out of her way to protect Sapphire but if not needed, She wouldn't. She wasn't trying to be the best, Just to get between her legs. She wasn't like the other Rubies, the 10,000s of them all tried to get with some type of Higher up to brag about how they slept with them.

But Ruby was different. She was humble and modest. And sleeping with anyone seemed like the last thing on Her mind. She was too busy being an Upbeat goofy gem who told Jokes. Sapphire didn't noticed the Laughter stopped and their hands were holding each other.

She noticed the insanely blushing face of the Ruby right next to her. A deeper shade of maroon now. Her breathing slightly changed and she couldn't stop shuffling her feet.

Sapphire waited a bit until quickly removing her hands. "S-sorry, My Sapphire! I'm so full of myself and Disposable!" Ruby Apologized, Getting on her knees, proposal style. "Forgive me, My acts deserve me to get benched." A hint of fear in her voice besides Apologetic.

"W-what?" She said, the words that were spoken troubled her. She'd never do that to someone, Especially ruby!

"N-no! It was my fault, Ruby!" She got down on her knees to pick the guard up from her Position, Though Ruby didn't say anything about it, she was the one picking herself up, Sapphire couldn't do it alone.

They both sat down and fiddled with something. The episode ended with a burgundy man with visors, curly short hair and a body suit saying. "In you're own Steboni way." A smile spread on his face. (Throw back to gem glow amirite?)

Finally, Ruby said something.

"I am truly sorry for-"

"No no! It was my fault, I was thinking.. It.. it was nice.. Holding your hands." Sapphire bursted. Catching the attention of an unwanted pearl, quietly walking down the stairs to the living area to snoop on the 'Lovers'

"You really thought so?" Ruby asked. "Yes, anything with you is nice. I love you're personality, You're handsome looks and Everything about you is so.. Wonderful. Sorry if i'm getting ahead of myself, I needed to let that go.." Sapphire said, not noticing that the two were scooting closer to each other.

Green pearl mouth curled with disgust.

"I like you too.. you're so smart, and always helping people. you're never rude and.. I feel like you're the only one that gets me.. Oh, uh, and you're.. heh, v-very pretty.." Ruby choked on the last parts. Her face heated even more if that was possible.

Soon they were holding each other, and then their gems glowed and.. You know the rest. Cotton candy garnet, yeah!

Pearl had seen enough, she could use this for whatever she needed to get back on! She took out her phone and took a picture (yea its 3017, phones exist. Only limited things though like in North korea.)

"Oh and what might you two be doing?"

Garnet turned her head, her fluffly Blue and red hair bounced as she turned.

Oh no..
