It was back at HomeWorld, The memory played from London Blue Topaz's gem. She was asleep, unaware that Topaz and Prousite were watching. It showed two gems, a Blue Quartz and a Blue Pearl. They both worked for the diamonds but one of them was defective. Blue Pearl was favored by Blue Diamond for her intelligence and clever strategies. On the other hand Blue Quartz was hated by all diamonds. Puny, Weak, and defective! Usually defective gems were shattered on the spot but they had plans for this one... Blue Pearl went with Blue Diamond everywhere, to meetings, planets, and to the other diamonds palaces. The other diamonds hated Blue Pearl, a gem of her kind should not be treated with such respect and given such privileges. Yellow Diamond confronted Blue Diamond about this. "Why do you treat this Pearl with such respect? Pearls are meant to follow orders!" The Diamond said. Her voice was loud and booming, Blue Pearl stood next to Blue Diamond when the Yellow gem spoke. She felt scared, but Blue Diamond stood up for her. "This is a quite intelligent Pearl whom should be given respect for her ideas! She's not like the rest, she's far more unique than any other Pearl!" Blue Diamond argued. Yellow Diamond and Blue Diamond fought in a calm and mannered order against the Pearl's rights. Blue Pearl cowered behind her diamond, she was terrified of having a chance of being shattered. In the midst of Blue Diamond speaking, Yellow Diamond interrupted her; the word "Shatter" hit her sharply. Her hearing faded as she grew scared of what could happen to her. Blue Diamond and Yellow Diamond came to an agreement. "Pearl...Pearl!...PEARL!" Blue Diamond shouted. "Y-yes my diamond?!" Blue Pearl stood straight. "We're going to a meeting, now." The diamond said. Blue Pearl nodded in agreement, they both left the place and headed towards a tall building. There were no windows just the diamond insignia standing above the doorway. They both entered the facility. Immediately Blue Pearl was rushed at and poofed by two Jaspers. What was happening? She didn't know what was going on... But could feel that a gem was carrying her. Another gem brought Blue Quartz's gem into the room. Blue Diamond looked away... These experiments helped move homeworld along but...they felt wrong. The two gems were placed in a container then set between two melters. The melter was used for experiments to make artificially fused gems or rather metallic gems. The machine flicked on a buzzing noise went through the room. They didn't know if this would work on Gems, this was the first experiment of its kind. They had particle separators installed in the machine to make the gems go into each other easily. Most metals that have gone through this process have forgotten who they used to be. The container broke and two gem forms busted out shrieking. It wasn't the forms it was the frame instead. They weren't able to form, the frames moved closer together as the actual gem fused together. They wondered if it would turn out successful like some of the other metal experiments. Usually they had to put the gem in the ground to grow more and form together. Black Peridot was in the room inspecting the two gems physically fusing. "Seems to be going well just like most of the others..." The Peridot mumbled. The frames had completely formed together to what seemed like a male gem. The frame disappeared back into the gem. It looked just like a normal gem, nothing wrong with it. Black Peridot took the gem from the center of the machine and handed it to another gem.
"Put this in a injector and implant it into the ground. Make sure the ground has plenty of resources."
Black Peridot ordered. The gem ran to the warpad in the facility and warped off to a hidden location. Full of lush green grass and resource rich soil. An injector stood just a few feet away, waiting to be activated. The gem walked up to the Injector and put the Teardrop shaped gem inside a specially made container and shut it.
"I'm sorry this has to happen to you..." The Ruby whispered. He closed the compartment and turned on the injector. The drill end started to spin and shot deep into the earth. It stopped about 30 feet down and a hole formed in the drill releasing the gem into the earth. The drill shot back up into its place in the injector. There the gem laid dormant for hundreds of years as shown in the projection. A couple decades later a new gem burst out of the ground, It was a London Blue Topaz. The Female gem looked at the surroundings, the earth here was quite green but the spot where she came out seemed drained from any life that had existed before. A Pearl came from the right and spotted the Topaz.
She moved quickly to the gem and instructed, "Oh! A new gem...please come with me." Blue Topaz followed her to a Warp Pad. They warped to a room and- London woke up on the couch. "Hmm? Why are you guys crying?" She asked. Both Prousite and Topaz had tears in their eyes. "I-I wasn't crying I was just tired and my eyes are watering! That's it..." Prousite exclaimed. She looked over at Topaz who was still crying and raised one eyebrow.
"It's just... ONE OF THE CHARACTERS IN MY COMIC BOOK JUST WENT INTO A COMA, WHY TONY WHYYYYY!" He wailed. Topaz clenched the Marvel comic book in his fist as tears ran down his face. "You gonna be ok?" London asked. "Y-yeah I'll be fine..." He sniffed. Suddenly the power went out in the barn, the lights flickered before completely shutting off. Topaz growled and grabbed his tool box then went over to the breaker circuit board. He opened it up and took out the breaker for the main room lights. The screw keeping the wires in place was unscrewed and the wires were hanging out. He rummaged through his toolbox and got out a screw driver.
"Ugh...how the hell did you get unscrewed..." He grumbled. Blue Topaz went into the kitchen and grabbed some matches along with a candle. The wick was lit and brought off a bright orange-red light. He stuck the driver into the screw and twisted it. The breaker released electricity and shocked Topaz. "OW FUCKING DAMMIT!" He screeched. Topaz held his hand and cursed under his breath. She set a candle on a table next to Topaz. The screwdriver had dropped to the floor when Topaz was shocked, he bent over to pick it up. He grabbed it and stood back up. His hand relocated the wires into the breaker and screwed it back into place then stuck it into the circuit board. The lights in the barn flickered back on. "There we go... Stupid breaker board." Topaz mumbled. There was a small tapping noise coming from the countertop. London peered over in that direction and gazed at the figure in the kitchen. It was Bahia Emerald! Another gem stepped out from behind Bahia it was Erinite! The green gem duo was back in town! Orange Topaz and Prousite didn't know them so here would come their "Introduction".
"Well I knew you'd have to meet them eventually... But these two are my friends. Bahia Emerald and Erinite." Blue Topaz announced. Prousite stood up and went to shake hands with Erin. When he reached him and went for Erin's hand the figure disappeared. Prousite was surprised, a clone? Creating a clone... It was a pretty good power but it did have its limitations. But maybe not for Erinite, he had been training for many of thousands of years. Bahia on the other side, she looked extremely weak. Small body, short, and no muscles. But she had become a master weapon maker. She didn't need strength or power, just defense. Bahia was highly Intelligent and thoughtful of others. Great observer, could easily read emotions too. Erin had many powers but he only used two main ones: Telepathy and Telekinesis. He had a vast amount of knowledge on plants and the human/gem minds. Which would come in handy a lot of the time. But for now, they were just here to be with friends. Erin appeared suddenly behind Prousite and tapped his shoulder.
"You missed me!" Erin exclaimed.
"YIKES!" Prousite froze up and slowly turned to look behind him. Erinite was standing right there smiling with his hand out. Prousite gave a crooked smile and shook Erin's hand nervously. Erin was also able to form bonds between people and let himself into their mind. He could look through memories, thoughts, people, and even dreams! It was quite the power but was best not to be over used... Erin tapped his fingers against the counter and leaned forward. Topaz stood up to greet the gem and walked towards Erin. Topazes hand reached out for a handshake but turned into a powerful punch. Erin was surprised; he didn't think he would be getting into a fight this early. Erin forced his hand up and caught Topazes fist.
"Not very welcoming, but nice throw." Erin said. "You're quite strong... I guess, but not as strong as me!" Topaz exclaimed. Topaz brought both of his arms into a 'L' shape and flexed. His biceps bulged and his forceps tensed. Prousite came up behind Topaz and put a hand on his shoulder.
"Topaz, Topaz, Topaz, we all know I'm the strongest." Prousite smirked. His shirt flew off and flexed, his biceps, forceps, and pecs popped out from his skin. Blue Topaz shook her head and went up to the two angrily flexing at each other.
"This isn't a matter of strength, what matters is... HOW CUTE YOU ARE!" London announced. She put her hand underneath her chin and winked. London looked over at Bahia and smirked. Bahia and London were in competition for Erinite. They've been like this for a couple hundred years. But ever since Blue Topaz met Orange Topaz, things had changed. Erinite could tell they were both attracted to him and didn't really care. He favored London over Emerald, but he kept to himself not wanting to upset Emerald. Did he really love Blue Topaz? Maybe he like Emerald more, he couldn't decide. But Bahia would probably not even consider the thought of them getting back together. Erin removed his hands from the counter and pushed Prousite and Topaz to the side.
"Guys this isn't a competition...but if it was I would win!" Erin said stepping forward. He took off his shirt and poured a cup of water on himself. His fingers glided through his hair combing it back. The lighter green gem stood behind the counter reading her book. "Hey Bahia, what are you reading there?" Topaz questioned. "O-oh uh... It's The Unquiet..." Bahia replied. "I have a friend, her name is Emerald, and I think she's read that book." Topaz stated. Bahia Emerald looked up from her book and smiled. It wasn't her favorite thing but reading kept her entertained while she was bored. She hadn't liked books before Bahia Blue Quartz had shown her the book Taken From Home. Bahia Emerald's head turned to Topaz and gazed at him.
"So... I was thinking that we all might like to go to the beach!" Erin announced. Blue Topaz stared him dead in the eyes, her face was blank. She spoke sarcastically: "We live right next to a beach." "I know, I know, BUUUUT... This is a much better beach! In fact, it's a private island!" Erin claimed. He sat down at the counter and grabbed the closed laptop. Erin typed into the search bar 'Palm Island Private beach.' Many images popped up of clear waters, white sand, and a small beach house surrounded by trees in the back. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the screen, It didn't seem like such a bad idea. "And the best thing about this trip is I know the renter of the beach house and he's letting us stay for quite some time. I would say about three days or more." Erin claimed. "Hold on I have something to do." Topaz stated. He walked out of the barn and to the back. He inhaled then silently screamed: "YES! PRIVATE BEACH! I CAN LOOK AT GIRLS ALL I WANT!" Topaz goes back into the barn with a grin from ear to ear. Everyone is talking about the mini-vacation and what they should do on it. Topaz slid his way into the circle of them chatting and slowly drifted off into a daydream. The thought of the beach formed in his mind. Clear blue waters, the perfect weather, and London laying on her back in the sun... Outside of his daydream Topaz was slightly drooling a bit and blushing profusely.
"Yo! Topaz! Helloooo?" Erinite snapped. "Hmm? What?" Topaz asked. He snapped out of his daydream and back to the real world. "The island has a really nice hot spring near the mountains." Erin said. A hot spring? This was one of Topazes favorite places...he could peak into the private springs all he wanted... And there will be plenty of girls to watch.
"You wouldn't mind if I asked along some friends would you?" Topaz wondered . "No, not at all, bring as many people as you like." Erin responded. Topaz was mainly going to invite a bunch of girls along but maybe some guys, just so he doesn't seem suspicious. He could bring Hope Diamond, Celestine, Jade, and Onyx their. Hope Diamond, pure beauty, the most wonderful person Topaz had ever met. She was great, Topaz had known her for quite some time and loved her. He would do just about anything to keep her safe, even give up himself just for her. No, he couldn't bring Diamond along; he didn't want her to meet London Blue Topaz just yet. "So when's this planned?" London asked. "We could go right now, just bring something to entertain yourself while we're their." Erin said. "Oh yeah! Hey Blueberry, Emerald you guys need to choose a bathing suit." Topaz reminded. "I'm good, I think Bahia is too. We both have our own bathing suits." London said. Topaz had plenty of girls bathing suits, he'd rather not have anyone ask why. How could he get them to wear his bathing suits...
"I'll be right back." Topaz said. He walked outside and to the side of the temple. His clothes changed into swim trunks. Topaz went back inside and asked: "Does this color look good on me?" Topaz flexed his biceps and forceps, his pecs bulged out. London stared at him and drooled. Muscles were nice, she preferred biceps over pecs though. Topaz stepped closer to her and looked into Blue Topaz's eyes.
"Can you please wear the bathing suit I picked for you?" He pleaded. Blue Topaz rolled her eyes and nodded in agreement. "Nice!" Topaz exclaimed. He pulled a swimsuit out of his gem and handed it to her. It was a Royal blue color with hints of Lavender.
"Damn! If I had known it was gonna be this cute I would've immediately worn it!I like the colors!" London stated.
Topaz stepped next to Bahia and asked, "Can you please wear the swimsuit I got for you?" Bahia looked up from her book and stared him in the eyes.
"I'll wear your stupid swimsuit if you let me read my book." Bahia said in a dry tone. Topaz smiled and handed her the bathing suit. It had a bikini bottom and top, but the bottom looked almost like a skirt. Bahia actually liked it, and it would be nice to go to a beach vacation for once. She might actually enjoy this.
