Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I've got... stuff. Let's just jump into this story, okay?

Gem Homeworld

"Did it work? Did you get it? Tell me Aquamarine!" The impatient voice came from none other than Peridot.

"Listen. I got. Now give me my end of the deal, before I take this thing for myself." the one that was Aquamarine said.

"OK, just head down that hall, and she'll be there." Peridot said grumpily, as if she hoped he forgot.

Why do I deal with this stuff? It's their problem, not mine. Aquamarine noted to itself.

He entered a corner, and there she was. Sitting there, he noted, looking at the wall as if it was interesting. "Howlite!" He yelled. "Let's go! S24Z7 awaits us." Howlite grinned. "You mean, as some call it, Earth? What business do we have there?" "Let's just go." Aquamarine said, like Howlite was tap-dancing on his last nerve. He typed in a code by the cell, and the field disappeared. They walked to the warp pad. "There's a base we can warp to, I hear it's inhabited and taken well care of." Howlite said, suggestively. "Okay. Don't blame me if it goes wrong." Aquamarine joked.

Steven's House

"Aw... Why do you have to go?" Steven said, whining in the process. Pearl smiled and quietly said, "We'll be back soon. Don't let strangers in. Bye Steven!"

What Steven didn't know, was that he would let strangers in, at least to him, no matter what.

As soon as they left, Steven turned on the TV, now that his TV ban was lifted. Ugh. Steven thought. What to do? Suddenly, the warp pad lit up.

"You're back already?" Steven asked. "That was quick." It wasn't until then he realized it wasn't Pearl, Amethyst, or Garnet. "Who are you?" Steven asked.

"And who might you be?" Two voices rang back, one very high pitched. "I'm Steven, Steven Universe, friendliest person and gem probably out there. Who are you?" The tall, baby blue skin colored one answered, and he definitely had a normal pitch. "I'm Aquamarine, but you can call me Marine. Nice to meet you." "...and I am Howlite, Interplanet Gem Scientist, or IGS." the high pitch gray skinned replied.

"Have you seen a tall gem, uh, presumably named, uh... let me check." Marine looked through a book of types of gemstones that was on the counter. "Uh, named, uh, here it is, Garnet!" Steven stepped back. "What do you want with her?" "I just, uh, well, uh, it's not important, okay?" Marine said, quite quickly.

"They'll be back soon. Can I show you around town?"

There we go, a medium sized chapter for all you guys waiting. Don't complain.
