We…Are the crystal gems.

Well always save the day

And if you think we can't

Well always find a way

That's why the people of this world

Believe in

Turquoise

Garnett

Amethyst

And Pearl

And Steven

(Turq's POV)

"5,6,7,8…" Pearl says as she snaps a tempo

Here we are within their dwellings 2 days later. To be honest, the first time I saw their dwelling, I imagined a base of sorts. Instead I saw a wooden home mixed within a cave. I must ask Pearl what materials they used to make this home. Anyways, the first day here was about learning specific rules for me to follow. Such as to not harm the other humans, to not touch anything, and so on and so forth. Today, the gems are trying to teach Steven how to Synchronize for fusion but in all honesty, its not looking so well.

"I don't get it. I thought I had it that time" Steven says with a little frustration.

"Nobody expects you to be able to perform fusion right away Steven." Pearl says in understanding

"Yea Fusion is hard, even for us" Amethyst admits to him

"Not for me" Garnett says

"I can't fuse either" I say

They all look in my direction and I duck my head in embarrassment.

"I mean, I never attempted a fusion, plus there are hardly any other male gems that are turquoise either so that's why I can't fuse." I try to explain

I continue my writing on Stevens wooden work station he calls a 'Desk' to try and avoid the embarrassment. This continues for a while until Stevens states that he is going to go see Connie

"Steven, what is this 'Connie' of which you speak of? Is it similar to this picture box called a 'TV'?"

"Ahh…no she's a friend here from earth. We hang out sometimes."

"A Human?! That sounds fascinating." I say with stars in my eyes. "May I accompany you to ask her some questions I have in my journal?" I ask him with my journal in hand and voice filled with hope.

"I don't see why not. Besides, I've been meaning to introduce her to you anyways."

I follow Steven for a few minutes towards the beach, feeling the small minerals of earth upon my feet. Steven call's it sand. I look out into the distant horizon and become mesmerized in Earths beauty. The churning water known as 'waves' crash upon the edge, creating some sort of white foam while the sun blends within the water creating a bluish green color. Steven starts to run towards a little human female which I can only assume must be this Connie. He gestures to me to come closer so I do so

"Connie, this is James D. Turquoise. Turquoise this is Connie, one of my best friends." He says to her

"A pleasure to make your acquaintance young Connie." I say as I kiss her knuckles

She blushes a bit and says "The pleasure is mine Mr. Turquoise"

My mind rushes with hundreds of questions a minute, but from the corner of my eye, I see Steven upset about something. He's probably upset about his lack of fusion capabilities and wants to talk to her about it.

So, I withhold my questions and instead say "I have a few questions to ask you about earth but it appears that young Steven wants to speak with you first. In that case I shall head toward that mound and sketch the surroundings."

I walk to said mound and start sketching the surrounding area. A creature with 6 legs and giant hands, a white bird with a yellow 'beak' I think they're called, I draw until I start to hear music. I look up and notice the song coming from a small rectangular device similar to my holographic pad. Beyond that device I watch as Steven and Connie dance to the tune. I smile at the sweet scene, but it then turns to shock. They had fused. A human and a Gem actually fused. I ran from the mound up to the house as fast as I could. Bursting through the door, I run up the stairs and dive for my 'backpack' to get one of my storage capsules. (Guess where this idea came from.) I press the button and toss it onto the desk. In a poof of smoke, Stacks of diagrams and charts about Fusion appear as well as blank pages for me to add to my research. I immediately sit down and write challenging tests and multiple theories as to how Steven, a Gem, could fuse with Connie, a Human, to see the capabilities of such an uncommon occurrence.

"James, what on earth are you doing barging in here like that!?" Pearls Exclaims in shock and anger

"Yea Turq, what gives?" Amethyst asks

I point towards the door just as the Steven and Connie fusion runs in.

"Guys, I did it. I'm a Fusion!" She…He...They say?

(Pearls POV)

My eyes are telling me what I'm seeing, but my brain is fizzing out from this situation.

"Pretty cool right?" Steven…or Connie says to us

"He Fused…with his friend Connie?" I ask out loud more to myself than to the others.

"Hehehe…Pearl, look at Garnett." Amethyst whispers to me. I turn my head to look at her and can clearly see the huge smile spread across her face

"This is unprecedented, a Gem fusing with a human being…it's impossible, or at the very least inappropriate."

"WOW…you two look GREAT together. How does it feel Steven…Connie…Stevonnie?"

"It feels amazing." Stevonnie says

"Yes, well I'm glad you're enjoying yourselves, but you two should unfuse this instant." I say worried if not a bit nervous.

"Wait what, Pearl you were so worried Steven wouldn't be able to do this…aren't you proud of him?"

"Of course, I am. I…Garnett help me out here." I beg

"Stevonnie…listen to me…you are not two people, and you are not one person…you are an Experience. Make sure you're a good experience. Now…Go…Have…FUN!"

Stevonnie smiles and runs out the door.

I hear rustling and movement up at where Steven sleeps and turn to James as he tries to pick up his work from the desk.

"WAIT! We need to study this in depth. Tests to complete. Challenges to-AGH…OUGH…UFFF…'CRASH'…OWWIE!" He exclaims as he runs to Stevonnie but instead falls down the stairs.

"Pftftf HAHAHAHAHAHA." Amethyst laughs at him

"James! Are you alright?" I ask as I call him through the hole in the floor.

He climbs out of the hole with his hair unkempt and glasses placed at an odd angle

"I'm fine." He says as he fixes his glasses.

I offer my hand to him and he gratefully grabs it. As I pull him up, he pulls himself up as well resulting in us only being separated about a hairs breath away. I look up at him since he's about a head taller than me but when I look in to his eyes I freeze. Filled with a childlike innocence, they swirl like a calm yet raging whirlpool of emotions. My blush appears and I look away.

"Thanks for helping me up." He says with a blush as well

"No problem"

"Oh right, I have to catch up with them." He says as he turns around to run after them. The only problem is that Garnett picked him up as he tries to run.

"They will be fine, you can ask them later. For now, I believe you had some questions for Pearl about the house."

"How did you know!?" He asks with stars in his eyes

"Future vision"

"By the way, when I asked about your fusion, why did you make sure Steven wasn't around?"

"It's a surprise for him for his birthday."

"Ah I see, ok then." He tells her and then turns to me "So why did you make the house out of wood instead of a sturdier material like the granite you used for this 'counter' I believe you called it?"

Maybe having him here won't be such a bad idea after all. I mean what's the worst that could happen.

"Well the reason we did that is because of 3 simple topics you need to consider. Style, Price, and Design…" I start explaining to him.

Alright, chapter 2 is complete. Now I got a reply that had many helpful facts. Most of it went over my head because I am not a professional writer and I only write what makes sense in my head at the time. I will try to correct any mistakes that either I or you will come across but please be patient with me.
