Chapter One: A New Beginning
The light from outside hit Steven's eyes, waking him up.
Altaite was stretched out on the table below, shielded from the light.
Malachite, who was attempting to get some tea last night, fell asleep on the spot, tea on the counter.
Onyx and Tiger's Eye were on the roof, sleeping after stargazing.
Tourmaline and Turquoise, who were playing in the ocean last night, awoke with seaweed in their hair.
Steven's alarm blared through the house, waking everyone inside with a start.
Malachite's cheeks were sticky with tea and Altaite had a book above his face from last night.
Turquoise stormed in, a crab clinging to her braid.
"Malachite, can you get this thing off? It's creepy and kind of gross."
"Uh, sure?"
He reluctantly removed the blue crab, getting pinched in the process.
Onyx walked in with Tiger's Eye, and it seemed they were the only ones with a normal morning.
That is, if they hadn't noticed something crashing into the ocean the night prior.
But they had, and now the Gems had to investigate.
