My name is Martha Kent. And I live on a farm with my husband, Jonathan Kent.
Our life was a peaceful, but lonesome one. Me and Jon both wanted to have kids of our own, but we were unfortunately told it wasn't possible. And I'll never forget that one night that changed our lives forever.
While I was sitting out on our stoop, I witnessed some kind of meteorite crash landing in the fields not too far away from us. I gathered Jon and we searched to find it was actually some kind of spaceship, and in side were two gems, one red and one blue. Jon thought that we could sell them and become rich due to them being in perfect condition... but then we watched a video on the ship. The video was of a very beautiful woman who said her name was Rose Quartz speaking about the destruction of her planet, and talking to the gems as if they were people. We then realized, it must be because maybe they are people... and so we decided to keep them safe.
And the next morning, we witnessed something incredible. The gems began glowing white, and when we could see again... we saw two precious baby girls. One was fully red and immediately fussed, while the other was blue, tranquil, and only had a single eye. We referred to them as Ruby and Sapphire, and we loved them as any parent would love their children. True, it was clear they weren't children, or at least normal ones. They were always made fun of at school, and kept discovering new things about each other every day. But our love for them still stood, no matter how weird it got.
I'll never forget the time we were called into the principal's office because Ruby got so mad she set the gym on fire...
Things only got stranger and stranger though. Sapphire kept telling me that she keeps having visions of the future. And what's more, it looked like they were getting very close. More than just sisters.
One day, when we figured the girls were mature enough... Well, when Sapphire was mature enough, anyway... We told them the truth about how we found them, and where they came from. We showed them the video of Rose Quartz, and I could tell they were devastated by what they saw and heard. In the middle of the night, Jon awoke to check on them to see how they were handling the news... And they were gone, with the door wide open!
We were so worried about them, that we immediately grabbed some lanterns and split up to search high and low for them, Jon taking his shotgun in case he found them in trouble. I wasn't having any luck at all, as much as I called out their names. Just then, I caught a glimpse of someone. It appeared to be a tall woman in the field. I approached her. "Hello there? Can you help me?" I called. "My husband and I, we lost our daughters. We don't know where they are."
Suddenly, the woman spoke. "Mom...?"
I squinted my eyes, and what I saw shocked me. I simply couldn't believe it. But it was them.
"R-Ruby?" I asked. "Saph?"
"We're Garnet now, mom..." she said. "And... And we want to stay Garnet."
In my mind, so many questions and mixed feelings were racing through my head. But in my heart, one feeling overshadowed all of them... I was happy to see they were okay. I ran to them... or rather, I ran to her... and hugged her as tightly as I could.
"You do whatever you want, baby." I said. "Just please, don't scare your momma like that again..."
Garnet hugged me back, and said "I'm sorry, mom. We... I was just scared after that... It won't happen again."
And just like that, our two little girls were somehow one big girl. "C'mon, let's get you home." I said. And with that, Garnet came with me, but one big question began brewing in my head...
How the heck am I going to break this to Jon?
