Blue Gem Friends
It was a Friday night in Beach City. Almost whole town was on the beach in front of The Crystal Gems home, the Gems were holding Steven's birthday party. It was Steven's 13 birthday. Steven was delighted. Garnet had unfused like she said she would. Pearl made everything perfect and Amethyst did the games. His Dad (Greg Universe) played his guitar. But Steven was bugged by something. The night before in his dreams. He saw Lapis Lazuli once again. She was unfused with Jasper. But as soon as she lost control, she shot Jasper right into the sky. She muttered to herself.
"Wait until Blue Diamond hears about this." Then she dissolved.
Steven didn't tell the Gems because he knew they would freak out. Though Steven couldn't take his mind off of the Blue Diamond.
Then he heard a call.
"Steven!" Connie yelled while sitting next to Ruby and Sapphire. "Your going to miss opening your birthday presents!" She finished while holding up a box.
"Oh OKAY! I'LL BE THERE IN A SEC!" He said finishing up his thoughts and heading down the stairs.
The sunset glowed brightly. There were all sorts of colors to look at. On the ocean it reflected the orange red into a murky purple brown. The sand was dark red. And the statue above the house that showed the fused Alexandrite with Rose Quartz. It was a deep blue…almost like…the ocean…like Lapis…like Blue Diamond.
He dismissed the thought and smiled at Connie. He sat down on the sand. Peedee handed his present. Steven unwrapped the present and there in his palm was a shard. Of something blue, shiny, and…gem like! Pearl gasped. And took it from Steven and bubbled it.
"Thank you Peedee!" He said trying not to look sad.
Next it was Connie's. After Steven finished unwrapping it. He saw clay figures of him and the Crystal Gems.
His Dad gave him ukulele strings just incase he broke one. Ruby and Sapphire gave him a new phone because they felt sorry for the one that they destroyed when Steven wanted to have breakfast with them. Pearl gave him a canary. Amethyst gave him a gem house.
"Just incase we have to regenerate and you want to care for us!" She said shoving it into his arm. As Steven observed it, inside it featured a gem bath, gem bed, gem cleaner, even a gem toilet!
After presents Ruby and Sapphire fused again and went to go do some rehab with their skills.
And then the night ended. But something was nagging him to tell Pearl about the Blue Diamond. So when Pearl was about to go to her room with Amethyst going to hers. He decided it was now our never.
"Pearl I had a dream about something called the Blue Diamond with Lapis talking about it." He said. Pearls eyes widened. She dropped a sword she was carrying. She screamed but that turned into a squawk. Amethyst turned around.
"CALM DOWN BIRD PEARL, NO NEED TO SQUAWK!" Then she turned to Steven. "The Blue Diamonds' are AMAZING! I used to be apart of it! It was so cool with their leader Boriana! You want to know why they call her that? Because she is made up of a LOT of BORON! Y'know the chemical that makes that color!" Steven was bombarded with these questions. Then Pearl shoved her and said. "Steven I'll explain, come here."
Pearl took Steven's arm and they entered her room. Pearl summoned a chair. She gestured for Steven to sit on it. He did.
"The Blue Diamond is an elite group where it's for blue gems where they are protectors of the earth in space. What I mean is that those gems protect us and warn us about hostile gems when they are coming. They stall for us so that we can prepare. Amethyst and I were once in that group, before I met Rose. Their commander is Boriana, which is a diamond with boron. So she is the Blue Diamond. So if you have any questions now please ask."
"Is Lapis apart of the gems?" Steven asked. Pearl nodded.
"But I wasn't around at the time, Lapis is one of the oldest member of the Blue Diamonds." Steven tried to put things together.
"So Lapis was a member of the Blue Diamonds before she got put in to the mirror? How did she get put in the mirror?" Steven said. Pearl began to stiffen.
"I don't know Steven, I never knew about her," Pearl said tightly and pursing her lips. "I only knew about her sister Zircon." Pearl sees Steven eyes grow larger.
"Can you tell me about other members?!" Steven says excitedly. Finally! His questions were being answered!
"Well, there are many, but I suppose it won't hurt to tell you a few..." Pearl began as she looked up to the stars.
"TELL ME ABOUT ZIRCON!" Steven yelled. He was unable to control his emotions. This was going to be the best birthday ever!
