"It's time!" a Peridot called. She was in the control room just below the Kindergarten. She looked closely and could see that the gems were ready to emerge. "My Diamond, they are ready," she calmly stated letting the Diamond see the readings.
"Excellent," the Diamond said. She was a peculiar Diamond. She was smaller than the others, but none of the gems knew why. And her gem was in such a peculiar place: right in the middle of her stomach. The Diamond took off her black hood to reveal tons of massive pink, curly hair. Her eyes were a black shade and her skin was a beautiful pale color. And she always wore a white dress with ruffles in the skirt. "Send out the managers," the Diamond told the Peridot.
"Yes, my Diamond," the Peridot said turning around and leaving.
"Oh, and Peridot," the Diamond called after her.
"Yes?" the Peridot replied.
"There's no need to be so formal," the Diamond said. "You can just call me Rose."
"Yes, Rose," the Peridot said returning to the control base of the Kindergarten.
Rose turned and went on with her job of inspecting all gems before emerging. "Good, good, excellent, good," she said looking at each set of data. "Wait a minute!" she suddenly exclaimed when looking at a certain data set. "This gem…" she paused. "This gem is coming way too early! She still shouldn't emerge for another six months! If she comes out this early, their gem may not be able to withstand the pressure of emerging! She could be shattered!"
Rose quickly ran out of the control room to inform the Peridot of the gem.
"On the screen it read that the gem type was a jasper and below it said Code Red! Possibly defective! Chances of being shattered 90%!
**********************************************************************************************************
"If that gem emerges it could be shattered!" Rose finished explaining to the Peridot.
"Well, there's nothing we can do to stop it," the Peridot calmly stated. "The gems emerge when they feel ready. If the gem is emerging now, it might just be defective or a little weak."
"So, she'll make it?" Rose asked.
"The chances seem very slim. If she makes it without even a crack, that'd take a miracle," the Peridot sadly said.
An hour had passed, and Rose still feeling tense. She felt like if the gem didn't make it, it would be her fault. She never felt like she did a good job in the Kindergartens, and now a gem might pay for it all without even seeing the light of day.
Rose looked at the Peridot's timer. There was only five minutes left until the new gems would emerge. Rose silently prayed over and over that the gem would make it.
"It's happening!" the a Peridot yelled.
Right on cue, Pearls, Peridots, and Rubies began emerging out of the walls. Strangely, no one saw a single quartz emerge.
Rose watched and carefully listened hoping to hear intel of a Jasper soon. "Oh, please let her make it!" Rose screamed over and over again in her head.
"My Diamond!" a Pearl called climbing down the ladder of an observing tower. "I saw it!" Pearl happily cried once she was in front of Rose.
"The Jasper gem?" Rose asked with hope.
"Yes!" Pearl exclaimed with excitement. "It just emerged in the middle of the Kindergarten! She was the last one out!" Pearl continued with a huge smile.
Rose felt a sudden rush of relief rush through her. That is, until Pearl said, "You might want to go look at her though. She seems a little peculiar."
On that note, Rose ran off as fast as she could with Pearl following behind her. "Oh, gosh, I hope she's okay!" Rose shouted again in her head.
Rose finally made it to the spot where Jasper had come out, and Rose could not believe what she saw.
