It was a sunny day in Beach City, and it was shaping up to look like an ordinary day. Steven was out wandering the beach looking for quarters with his puppy shaped metal detector, listening for the rapid beeping that signaled he had found a piece of treasure. He looked up to see a flash of light. His eyes became blinded with the brightness that was in front of him. Then something began to take shape in the beacon, a dark silhouette. The light disappeared and the silhouette fell to the ground. A young girl stood up with her back facing him hands on her hips. She glanced up to where the light came from and then turned around. She was wearing a large oversized pink sweater with a shooting star on it and a purple skirt. She had long brown hair that was pulled back by a pink headband and looked about his age.
"Hello" said the brown haired girl.
"Hi," Steven spoke back reluctantly not knowing who or what this girl was.
"What's your name?" She questioned.
"Steven," he answered, "what's yours?"
"I'm Mabel. So just a quick question, how old are you?"
"I'm 12," Steven replied, "How old are you?"
"Me too!" said Mabel.
Steven decide to further question the girl as she could be some dangerous gem creature, "Really? You're not like a billion years old and just look really young?"
"What why you ackin so cray-cray, me and my twin brother are both 12."
"Do you guys have these?" he lifts up his shirt and shows the rose quartz gem to the young girl.
"No, I wish that's really cool! What does it do?" Mabel asked.
"Well my mom's in here," Steven explained finally deciding that she was perfectly normal, "plus it has a cool shield and it gives me powers." Mabel bends down to get a better look at the pink gem, she tapped it a couple times before standing back up.
"That's amazing…but…uhh…how is your mom in there?"
"She gave up her physical form to have me" He looked down suddenly seeming sad. She could tell it was something he really didn't want to talk about.
"Oh I'm sorry," she decided to quickly change the subject, "so does everyone have one of those gems here?"
"No just me, Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl."
"Those names are so cool," Mabel said, "my names so boring."
"Mabel's not boring."
"You really think so?"
"Yeah!" Steven smiled at her.
"Well Steven is a pretty cool name too." Mabel responded lightly punching the boys arm. Steven laughed at this small act a smiled at the girl.
"Why thank you."
"No problem! So any chance you could show me around?"
"Yeah of course," Steven answered, "where do you wanna go first?"
Mabel thought for a moment before answering. "Hmm….is there anywhere to eat, I'm starving." She grabbed her stomach through her sweater, "hungry."
"Let's go to the big donut!" the boy suggested due to the fact that he was also becoming hungry.
"Yay donuts!" Cheered Mabel as she followed Steven who had started to run towards the shop.
When they reached the store Steven opened the door and they stepped inside. Mabel looked around and shuddered, this kind of places gave her the creeps now ever sense they went to the dusk to dawn where she got possessed, and all that smile dip, and Dipper having to the lamby lamby dance. She chuckled under her breath at the last part.
"HI AMETHYST! HI LARS!"Steven shouted, breaking her out of her thoughts, he waved to the purple gem and the man behind the counter.
"Whoa that lady's purple" Mabel stared in wonder walking over to the purple gem. Amethyst looked at her for a second before going back to eating her own donut.
"What's this Steven you cheating on Connie with this girl? Did you put her in a magic love bubble too?" Lars jokingly asked.
Steven face turned red, "No she just a friend from another dimension."
Mabel was too busy looking at Amethyst to focus on the conversation between Lars and Steven. "Why is your skin purple?" She asked.
"It's just how I roll dude" Amethyst answered with her usual whatever attitude. Mabel thought this was a good enough answer due to the fact that she did bedazzle her face once just because
Lars wanting Steve to leave finally asked, "What kind of donuts do you want Steven?"
Mabel deciding to join in on the two boys conversation and screamed, "CHOCOLATE!"
"Two chocolate donuts please," Steven repeated confirming the girls order
Lars walked over to the glass display case and grabbed two chocolate donuts and put them in a bag, "That'll be $2.50."
"Can I just have Amethyst eat a 1000 to get them for free?" The young boy wondered.
"No just take them! I'm not having that happen again" Lars quickly responded.
"Thanks Lars" Steven replies as he held up his hand for a high five.
"Yeah whatever" the teen responds quite annoyed ignoring the hand. The two kids run out of the shop and back onto the boardwalk.
