We...are the crystal gems!

We'll always save the day!

And if you think we can't,

We'll always find a way!

That's why the people world believe in

Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl and Steven!

Lars pov: It's only been a few minutes since Steven went back to earth and the off colors went to do their own thing for a while.

I didn't know what to do until I heard a soft sigh. "Oh, yeah! That Hotaru girl is here too!" I thought, I turned to study her when she wasn't looking.

Everyone at school always talked about the mysterious transfer student and how she looks like a little kid since she's petit with a dancer's body and pale skin.

"That's not what makes her stand out though." I muttered, what made Hotaru stand out was her black hair that reached mid-back and her coral pink eyes.

I was brought out of my thoughts by a soft voice. "Are you gonna keep staring at me?" Hotaru asked me, I blushed at being caught by her and her voice.

"Sorry." I said to her, she giggled. "It's alright. I must look like a little kid to you and the others, right?" Hotaru asked with a small smile, I shook my head.

"I don't know about them but I know you're 15." I replied to her, Hotaru smiled at me before glancing at the gems with a shy look on her face.

I sat down next to her. "It's scary being away from the earth isn't it?" I asked her. "It's more like an adventure for me." Hotaru answered shyly.

"How come?" I asked her, she smiled. "I never really liked the mundane life I have on earth." Hotaru told me, I decided to change subjects.

"When were at school why do you always isolate yourself?" I asked her gently, she sighed. "It's because I'm not good with others." Hotaru replied.

"I've moved around a lot so I've never made any friends and it didn't help that my parents were more focused on their work." Hotaru explained sadly.

"Ya know, if you want...we could be friends." I told her, Hotaru looked at me. "Really?" Hotaru asked me, I nodded and she smiled at me in agreement.

Third Person pov: While Lars and Hotaru were talking the Rutile twins looked at them. "We should move soon." Rutile one told the others.

"That way we won't be caught so easily." Rutile two added, Rhodnite was still worried. "But what if the roboniods find us?" Rhodnite asked them.

"We...will...be...fine...as...long...we...work...together." Fluorite told her, Rhodnite was still worried about their safety since they've been hidden for years.

"I predict that Lars will talk to his fellow human." Padparadscha told her friends, they heard Lars's voice. "You really know that song?" Lars asked Hotaru.

"It's been a favorite of mine so I learned to sing it." Hotaru answered him, Lars asked if she could sing it and Hotaru agreed before bringing her mp-3 player.

After Hotaru was done singing she put her mp-3 player away and saw the gems looking at her in amazement. "W-what is it?" Hotaru asked them, she was blushing beet red.

Hotaru pov: I had no idea why the gems were looking at me like that. "That was beautiful!" Padparadscha told me, the others murmured in agreement and I blushed again.

"I-it's not that good." I replied humbly, after I calmed down we all agreed that we should start moving so Lars and I followed the gems out of the kindergarten then onto a ruined street.

"So what's the plan?" Lars asked in a whisper. "We sneak to where the ships are." Rutile one started. "Hop into a ship and head for earth." Rutile two finished, that's not a plan.

"Just deal with it Hotaru because once your back on earth you'll be by yourself again." I thought sadly, I wasn't sure if Lars was being serious about the friend thing or not.

We managed to sneak around without being seen and dodged the robonoids. "I can't wait until we're on earth since we'll be safe." Rhonite whispered happily, is she talking to me?

Once we got to where they kept the ships, all of us got into the closest one. "Security sure is lax in this place." I commented, Lars agreed with me on that soon we were out of danger.

The Rutile twins put the ship on auto-pilot which was set to head for earth. "Once we get back to Beach City, we'll meet up with Steven and his friends." Lars told us, here we go.

I decided to explore the huge hand ship since there was nothing else to do even though I have books with me but I didn't feel like reading them right now, I sighed.

"I doubt my parents know or care that I'm gone." I muttered, I rolled up my sleeve on my purple dress and saw the hidden scars that I had gotten from my father before I was taken.

No one at school knows that when my parents get upset they take their anger out on me even though I didn't do anything wrong and I need to make sure it stays a secret.

I was about to turn around and head back to the others when I felt a hand on my shoulder. "What are you doing?" Rhodnite asked me, I jumped at her voice and hid my arm.

"N-nothing! I mean I was just exploring." I replied to her, Rhodnite gently grabbed my arm and saw the scars. "Where did these come from?" Rhodnite asked me, I froze.

I pulled my arm away and unrolled my sleeve. "Don't worry about it, I just fell down at my house and injured myself no big deal." I said with a nervous laugh, Lars ran over to us.

"We're already in earth's atmosphere!" Lars told us, he then explained that the ship's hyper speed was already on so once the coordinates were in we we're all set to go.

Soon we landed on the beach where Steven lives and met up with him although I sneaked away and headed back to my house but when I got there no one was home.

"Mom? Dad?" I called out, I went to their room and saw a note that said they moved away without me. "Great! Another thing to keep secret!" I said sadly, I went to my room.

Since my parents moved away without me while I was gone I knew I'd have to make sure no one at school finds out what's happened so that way I won't get hurt again.
