A few hours passed as the pod floated in space but suddenly in the matter of minutes the pod was attracted to a nearby gravity pull this woke the girl up from her slumber. Walking to the computer in the pod it read 'destination; earth'. This made the pod hurtle towards the planet throwing the two backwards and forwards but after a few minutes of this the ship stopped to a screeching halt. Beryl sat up rubbing her head and made sure that her gem was intact, which it thankfully was for a minute Beryl just sat there unsure of what to do. But the door soon opened which made Sunset growl at the newcomer, standing up Beryl placed a hand on Sunset's mane and in the other hand she summoned her golden bow. She cautiously stepped outside blinking at the light she felt soft ground beneath her feet looking down she saw that she was stood on sand. Looking around she then saw that she was stood in the middle of a large beach but what confused her was what had opened the po-.

"hi there" Beryl fell onto her back scared by the sudden person in front of her. "sorry I didn't mean to scare you, are you okay?" Beryl reached back and quickly summoned her bow but before even loading an arrow Sunset pounced and pinned the person to the floor. Beryl stood up and aimed her arrow at the person. Getting a good look at the person she could tell it was a young human boy he was wearing a pink top with a star on he was also wearing a pair of blue shorts and some pink flip-flops and he also had black wavy hair. She pointed the arrow closer to him fear now covering his face.

"I'm only gonna ask you this once, where am I, who are you and how did you open the pod?" The boy looked at the girl answering in order.

"Your on planet earth, my name is Steven and I just pushed the button" Beryl looked at the pod and back to Steven.

"only gem bearer can open that pod. So how did you manage to open it?" Steven became more worried scared that Sunset would kill him.

"it's because I am a gem bearer!" Beryl looked at him in shock but turned to Sunset saying.

"stand down Sunset" After she stepped off Steven stood up and brushed himself down. "how can you be a bearer of a gem? Your a human" Steven slightly raised his top to show a rose coloured gem in his belly button. Beryl put away her bow and looked at Steven. "I'm sorry for being so hostile but I have just lost my home. My name is Golden Beryl but you can just call me Berry" Steven smiled at her.

"don't worry I understand I probably would have been very hostile if my home was gone" She smiled and laughed a bit at his humour. "hey why don't you come to my house I know some other gems that can help you" Beryl followed Steven to a house on the edge of the beach that was built inside a statue. Inside the house was very spacious. "come on I'll show you my room" they then went up some stairs and found a room where Steven sat down on the bed and patted a empty place next to him where Beryl sat down. "So what happened to home?" Beryl sighed and felt Sunset nuzzle her side.

"I lost my home to a horrible war tyrant who probably wants to kill me and my family" Tears were now falling down her cheek which Sunset was licking. Steven looked down before saying.

"hey I know how to cheer you up" Beryl looked at him he covered his hand before yelling. "tadaa!" His main index finger had now got a cat's head on that meowed at her. Beryl couldn't help but smile and laugh at the trick before saying.

"I can do one better" In a flash of golden light Beryl had turned into a African golden cat that leaped up at Steven landing on top of his head making him laugh as she purred. She then jumped off him back onto the bed laughing when the door suddenly opened downstairs. The two stopped laughing and Beryl asked quietly. "who is that?" Steven said calmly.

"Don't worry it will just be my friends" Beryl calmed down as they exited the bedroom she saw three other gems who Steven ran to whilst Beryl followed shyly behind. The group made some greetings when Garnet noticed Beryl.

"Steven who is you new friend?" then the other gems looked at her making her slink back becoming scared.

"oh this is Beryl I found her in a pod on the beach" The gems looked at her some in surprise some in anger.

"Beryl!" In a second Amethyst had summoned her whip and slashed towards her making her scream in terror. Sunset had heard this but couldn't get past the door walking backwards Beryl soon shrunk down to being a golden mouse which ran around the house away from Amethyst. Steven ran in the path of Amethyst attempting to stop her hurting his new friend.

"Stop! Don't hurt her!" Amethyst grabbed a spare whip.

"Stay out of this Steven!" she threw the whip which knocked him out of the way Beryl kept on running until she ran into Garnet's path, Garnet kneeled down and placed a hand down. Beryl trusted her and ran onto her hand Garnet then grabbed Amethyst by the scruff of her collar making her stop.

"Garnet! What are you doing?! You do know how this is right?!" Garnet looked at Amethyst saying.

"yes but it was her parents that tried to hurt us not her" Beryl looked up surprised.

"wait my parents tried to hurt you?" Garnet placed the mouse down who then turned back to normal she then turned to Amethyst and placed her down. Pearl walked up to Beryl after getting Steven up.

"now Beryl will you tell us why you are here" Beryl sighed then told the gems what she had told Steven. After the story was over Garnet thought for a minute.

"so the higher up people on Homeworld didn't send you to smash us" Beryl shuck her head.

"no of course not even if they had I wouldn't be able to bring myself to do any harm" Steven now asked her.

"wait a minute what do they mean by higher up people?" Amethyst then spoke up.

"Because Steven Beryl over her is the princess of our people and from the sounds of it we might actually have to help her reclaim the kingdom"
