To love a Gem
Chapter 2: Study
Ronaldo awoke at the sound of his alarm clock, the loud beeping was annoying at such an early time. He decided to get dressed, which was usually just a floral shirt and cargo shorts, after that he made himself some coffee as a wake me up, as coffee was his usual drink of the day given his line of work. he looked to the green gem on his desk and thought about studying it, to him it was just a simple little gem, but it could be like the Crystal Gems as well, he wouldn't know until he tried to at least understand it. "Alright gem, what's your deal?" he asked the space rock, "Not talking, eh? Well I'm going to do the one thing that'll make you talk!" He walked over to his couch and plopped down, and turned on the TV "Watch whatever is on..." It was a news report, and news wasn't something Ronaldo cared about.
"I am here with an exclusive interview with The Fearsome Four. Local Midwestern team of ragtag anti-heros that form the worlds greatest evil fighting team." The news lady said, she turned to a man with a big chin and blue button up shirt, Ronaldo was confused because it looked like one of his hands was a chainsaw, "I don't mean to brag, but we are pretty amazing." The blue shirted man said, a man who looked like a scientist rubbed his eyes in annoyance, "But we aren't the only hero's."
"Oh?" The reporter questioned.
The big chinned man nodded, "Yeah, I read on some blog that this beach community has their own team of hero's The Crystal Gems I think they're called." He turned to the camera, "Gems. Thank you for making the world safe." He gave a salute. Ronaldo turned the TV off. He giggled with glee, a big time hero reads his blog.
He jumped up and ran to his bed, grabbing his phone to text Steven, "He has to know about this." He gave a gasp "I wonder if they have a call number, I could so invite them for Horror Club one day." He finished texting, and noticed something weird. The Gem was glowing a bit brighter. He texted Steven again if when the Gems regenerate that their gems glow during the process.
-Temple-
Steven was hanging out with Connie at the temple, playing some game consoles that his dad and Pearl had gotten him for his birthday. During a game his dad called 'Bubble Bobble' he received the texts from Ronaldo, looking at the first one, he responded with 'Awesome, we should so invite them.' it was the second one that confused him. Did the Gems glow during regeneration? He watched Pearl's gem the whole time and didn't notice any glowing, He noticed the Temple door open. It was Jasper.
It was a while and The Gems had located and convinced Jasper and Lapis to join the team, Lapis was like Pearl in many ways, but when helping him with homework, Lapis didn't go off on how the questions didn't make sense. He decided to ask, "Hey Jasper?"
Jasper looked down to the little half-human, "Yeah?"
"Do Gems's glow when you regenerate?" He asked. Jasper have it some thought, she had spent the most time on Homeworld, so she knew more. "Sometimes. But only if their badly injured, our gems use more energy. Why do you wanna know anyways?" Jasper asked him back.
"My friend Ronaldo wanted to know for his research on you guys." He answered honestly. He really didn't know why Ronaldo wanted to know.
Jasper shrugged and continued to the front door, "Off to see Jamie the mailman?" Connie sarcastically asked. Jasper stopped and turned to the kids with a huge blush across her face "Shut up kid!" And stormed out. Steven and Connie began to laugh, Steven sending Ronaldo his text.
-Lighthouse-
Ronaldo looked at the phone book to see if the Fearsome Four had a number to call, it was then he received Steven's text. He looked at, seeing the answer Jasper gave Steven, he looked to the gem. Wonder just who or what it was. "Well whoever it is. She was messed up pretty badly." He said to himself, looking at the glowing gem in sympathy. He looked at the time and ran out to work at the fry shop.
