Hey, guys.

Due to the recent Steven Bomb and Jasper being corrupted, it gave me the inspiration for me to put a twist on the story.

So, without further ado, I give you Penelope Pink.

A little pink-haired girl reached up to pick an orange off the tree and placed it in the big basket right next to her with rest of them. She wiped the sweat off her forehead and admired her hard work that was her orchard and garden. It had taken her a couple of years for it to get like this, but it was well worth it. Not only did she had her own source of food, the surplus she got from it was sold at the Beach City Market for income. Nope, laziness is not allow for the pink girl! It was what she did to survive now and days.

She was about to reach for another orange when the ground shook beneath her. She grabbed the ladder for steadiness until it stopped. The small quakes have been going on for awhile now. It didn't affect any of the surrounding areas like beach city, which was a relief. But, it was only her area that got hit. Granted, she lived in a strange area with a weird crystal-like platform in her garden and what seemed to be some old ruins deeper in the forest area. Considering that was where the quakes seemed to be coming from and the fact that each moment of quakes seemed to have got a hair stronger recently, she decided to go check it out after she was done with the orange picking.

Thankfully, this was the last tree, as she nearly fell off the ladder after a much stronger quake. Something was definitely active in the ruins today, she might as well find out before it affected her garden.

Setting the basket aside with the others, she went inside her house to grab her sack, and with her arms to her stomach, her arms glowed as a pair of bright pink fist gauntlets manifest themselves on her arms.

"Alright. Time to see what's making a racket at the ruins today." She told herself, as she left the house on the straight path towards the ruins that she had visited so many times when she was younger. She knew the area like the back of her hand and had taken care of the "pests" that like to roam the ruins occasionally. Well, by "pests, you mean the creepy monsters that have been lurking around as of late. At first, the monsters scared her, then she figured out how to deal with them over time to where now it just became an annoyance for her.

The pink-haired one knew she was different and it wasn't just because of her hair either. She had a Pink gem stuck in her stomach that can manifest her gauntlets and bubble the weird gems that came from the monsters when she hit them hard enough. She had, at least, a dozen of them floating around her ceiling in bright pink bubbles cause she didn't know what to do with them. The good thing about the area was that there was nobody around for the next several miles cause of said monsters, and since she kept taking care of the monsters, she was left alone in peace with the exception of the market guy that came for the extra produce once a week. Honestly, she was hoping it was just another monster so, that she can just get back to work on her garden.

Another quake happened as she neared the ruins, it nearly threw her to the ground if she hadn't caught herself in time. Except this one wasn't stopping soon. She ran the short distance left to the ruins just as the quake had ended. For a moment, there was nothing, not even a monster in sight. She was beginning to think it was just a regular earthquake.

At least, that's what she thought when a red hand burst out of the ruin floor. She quickly hid behind an old pillar and waited till she can see what she was up against. She was shocked, however, that as the monster pulled itself out of the earth, it looked more humanoid than a monster. The bulky figure in question had long fluffy white hair, orange skin with red stripes, and the yellow, cat-like eyes. What surprised her more was that she had a nose-shaped gem. She wore a uniform with a yellow diamond in the middle. She looked had the stance of a soldier as she stood, panting from digging herself out of the Earth.

"Finally! I'm free from that horrible prison! Curse you, Rose Quartz! Using Fusion as a cheap tactic!" She exclaimed to herself.

Well, she couldn't blame her for that, despite wondering how she got down inside the earth to begin with and how long she's been done there. The pink girl couldn't truly say, but probably a long time and it involved this 'Rose' person. But, then again, she really didn't know anyone by that name nor what this 'fusion' thing is. What she did know is that this person didn't sound happy and probably need a nap. She sounded heavily tired, so a nap she will take: one way or another.

The pink girl prepared herself and snuck up on the large buff woman as she continued to rant angrily. Oh, yeah, definitely needs takes a nap. She jumped with a battle cry that startled the buff woman as she punched her hard in her gem into a pillar where she poofed. The pink girl inspected the fallen gem, surprised that it didn't crack under that kind of pressure from her gauntlets.

She bubbled the gem and walked back, thinking about the orange woman and how she definitely wasn't like the other monsters. She was able to talk, too. As she got back to the house, she made up her mind. Tomorrow, she'll talk to the buff woman cause she seriously needed to cool down for a day. Being stuck in the ground for so long probably made her cranky, which she wouldn't blame her for. Instead of letting it float to the ceiling, she letting it hovering over her bedside table. Releasing her gauntlets, she went back to work in her garden while hoping the woman's head will be cooled down by tomorrow.

Please tell me what you think and if this is worth continuing.

Thanks,

Ellis Alpha
