Citrine's POV

I stepped out of the warp pad and looked around. A creature stepped out and looked at me. I summoned my swords from my gems and pointed them towards the creature.

"Who, and what are you?" I said to it.

It stepped back and held its hands up.

"I'm Steven. I'm a gem. Well, half gem."

I was confused. Half gem? How was that even physically possible? And what was its other half? I lowered my swords and put them back in my gemstones.

"Well in that case, hello Steven. I'm Citrine. Full gem. Excuse me for asking, but how is it possible for you to be a half gem? What's your other half?"

Steven laughed.

"It's ok. I'm half human. My mom was a gem and my dad is a human."

How was that possible? At Homeworld, I had never heard of such a thing.

"So, what are you doing here?" He asked me.

"Well, this gem up in Homeworld gave me a mission to come down to Earth and try to find something."

"To find what?" He asked curiously.

"A gem that has committed many crimes against Homeworld that escaped to Earth a long time ago."

"So why did you end up here?" He said.

"I'm not sure. This wasn't where I was trying to go, but as long as I'm here, I might as well explore." I said.

Steven's POV:

Wow! A new gem! That's so cool!

I can't wait to tell Garnet, Pearl, and Amethyst! Where are they anyway? Shouldn't they have been back by now? Oh well. They'll probably be fine. I have to show Citrine around.

"Can you maybe give me a tour?" She asked me.

"Sure! The gems probably won't be back for a while anyway." I said excitedly.

"The gems? Who are the gems?" She asked suspiciously.

Oh, right! I forgot to explain that. The gems are Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl. They protect me and train me."

"Hmm. Well. Let's get going!" She said hurriedly.

"So why do you have two gemstones? Are you a fusion? That would be so cool!"

She laughed amusedly.

"No I'm actually not a fusion. My gem cracked in half a long time ago, and even the best Homeworld gems could only heal my gemstone into two individual gemstones. So I have two now instead of one. But that means two swords now!" She smiled.

"Sorry for asking this, but doesn't that make you a little unstable?" I asked.

"Well as far as I've seen, no. But you never know. One minute I could be perfectly fine, and the next I could be all crazy psycho." She and I both started laughing.

"You know what, Steven? You're one of the nicest gems I've ever met!"
