frick...srry i just had to write about these gaymos
Yellow Sapphire tugged at her bun.
It was more of a nervous habit than anything else. Her long blonde hair had been tied carefully into a prim bun before she had left Homeworld, and her incessant pulling had reduced it to an untidy knot. A Pearl hurried over to help restore it to its original look.
As a rare type of the already rare Sapphire class, Yellow Sapphire was an unusual gem. Unlike other Sapphires, she was tall and thin, like a Pearl. Sapphires of all types were highly coveted by the Diamonds to make up their courts, the rarer the better. Yellow Sapphire was about as rare as you could get. From her body type to the small glinting golden gem embedded in her left earlobe, there wasn't much she had in common with the others.
Today she was going to meet with the rest of Yellow Diamond's court on a new planet, Earth. In an effort to keep her and the other three Sapphires traveling with her safe, the ship was heavily equipped with Rubies and Jaspers. Yellow Sapphire gazed out of the window, excited to see the future colony.
Tanzanite coiled a lock of hair around her finger.
Her deep indigo hair hung in wild curls around her shoulders, messy and thick and concealing the little azure gem in her right earlobe. She could practically hear Pearl badgering her to brush it out.
A former guard of Blue Diamond's court, Tanzanite was made for defense. She and her pickaxe were constant partners in crime, protecting the other Gems and the Earth together. And as much as she hesitated to admit it, she and Pearl made a great team when it came to battling, especially when they fused. Sharp objects were Purple Jade's number one battle item, and crossing a pickaxe with a sword was never a good thing for the enemy.
Tanzanite was dozing off in the warm damp sand, listening to the gently crashing waves, when suddenly there was a loud collision nearby. The Earth shook under her, tearing her out of serene nothingness. She glanced up to see a smoking green object buried in the sand nearby.
"What happened?" a Ruby shouted as the Homeworld Gems were recovering from the jarring crash. "We lost control of the ship!" a Citrine replied. "We crash landed on a beach!"
"We're hundreds of kilometres from the meeting point!" an angry Jasper yelled. "How are we going to get there on time? What about the Sapphires?"
Yellow Sapphire tugged so hard on her bun it completely collapsed, showering her in a soft cascade of gold hair. The Pearl smacked her forehead.
"Maybe we should stay put." another Sapphire suggested. "Are we able to send a message to the Diamonds?"
"Good idea!" the Citrine responded. She began typing out a message.
The Jasper rolled her eyes. "Whatever. I'm going to go check this place out." She pushed out of a large hole in the hull of the ship, followed by a few Rubies and another Jasper. "Be careful!" Yellow Sapphire squeaked as the Pearl struggled to fix her hair. "You don't know what's out there!"
The Jasper snorted. "It's just Earth. We'll be fine."
Tanzanite's shiny flats smacked the wet sand as she rushed to the temple. "Rose! Rose, come quick!" she screamed breathlessly, tearing into the temple.
Rose, who had been watching low budget porn with Amethyst, leapt to her feet. "Tanzanite! What's wrong?" she asked as she and the other Gems hurried over. Tanzanite grabbed Rose's skirt. "It's on the beach! A ship crashed on the beach! A homeworld ship!"
"Homeworld?" Pearl shrieked. "What are they doing here?"
Rose grabbed her sword. "Take us there, Tanzanite. We need to see this for ourselves."
