"Almandine," Maxixe called, walking out of her room and into the living room. "Can you come with me for a moment?" Almandine, Purple Turquoise, Kunzite, and Prasiolite were playing a game of cards when Beryl, their leader, had come into the room.
"Uhh...okay." Nodded Almandine, getting off the cream coloured couch, and walking into Max's room with her, leaving her cards face down on the couch. She closed the door behind her and sat down on a red, padded chair and watched as Max sat next to her.
"Ugh! Another mission that I won't be able to take part in!" Moaned Pras, rolling her eyes.
"It probably won't be half as good as this game is! Because I'm about to win!" Chimed Turquoise, slamming a card onto the floor. "Snap!" The other two gems stared in amazement.
"How have you won fifteen billion games in a row?!" Cried Prasiolite, throwing her cards down. (Or, in her eyes, up, as she was sitting upside down on one of the two couches.)
"Actually, it was only five games in a row that she has won," Kunzite explained, shaking her head. "We have not been playing for long."
"Whatever. I'm gonna go outside. I can't take any more of this." Prasiolite spoke, falling off the furniture and walking out the front door, leaving Purple Turquoise trailing after her, pleading for just one last game.
Kunzite sighed. She was alone at last, free of the impolite Prasiolite and the unintelligible Turquoise. But it was Almandine that she longed for. A friend who clearly understood her. There was no other gem like her. And if there was, the world would be a whole lot better. This was certain to be a rough night.
