Violet had just woken up and Lilac had just finished putting the corrupted gems into their containment area by the time the muscular gem overheard footsteps. Lilac instantly teleported to Violet and the frail gem picked up a rock.

"Come and get us you stupid humans!" Violet said, growling.

The humans were silent but inched forward, pulling out a destabilizer, "Let's get out of here, Violet."

"No, Lilac!" Violet said, "We have to get them before they find us again!"

"We have your precious Jay in our base, better come with us," a human said evilly, "Your gem doesn't look so well, Moonstone, now does it?"

Lilac grabbed Violet's squirming waist and the gem yelped, kicking away, "Calm down!"

The humans advanced and attempted to attack the two gems. They held hands and teleported to the base.

"What happened to your gem?" Violet asked, grabbing Lilac's hand and examined it, "Oh no."

"Let's go see if Jay knows what's going on," Lilac said, opening the entrance.

They performed all the necessary procedures for keeping what was inside safe and sound and busted into the room where Jay sat, tied up.

"What's going on?" Lilac asked Jay angrily.

"My teammates are psychos," Jay said, "They will probably try to hurt you and do bad things to you. Also, think you could untie me?"

"Sure," Violet said, unravelling the space wire around Jay's wrists.

It was the first-time Violet had seen Jay without his space suit on. She blushed a bit and avoided eye contact. Jay's hair was a dark brown, cut short for the mission. He had the most interesting eyes that she had ever seen in her history of existence. They were a color she had never seen before, a color only able to be described by her moonstone friend.

"Green," Lilac said aloud, "Your eyes are green like the planet of Earth."

"What about it? Yours are lilac and Violet's are a light blue-purple. I can't really find words but they are pretty," Jay said thoughtfully.

"Green is the color of life," Lilac said, staring at Jay, "We haven't ever seen anything breathing."

Violet felt the sudden urge to touch a human but fought it, "We should get ready to beat your friends to death."

"Violet!" Lilac and Jay said in unison, looking to each other embarrassed.

"What?" Violet asked, "What is it?"

They shook their heads and Violet shrugged, grabbing a piece of paper. She tried to write on it but couldn't. Violet walked away and looked at the stuff in the base.

"She is pretty aggressive," Jay said, almost laughing.

"Yes," Lilac said, flashing him a small smile, "Well you should get into your suit."

"Alright, I will be right back," Jay said, walking off.

"We probably have a while before those stupid humans get here, right Lilac?" Violet asked, frowning.

"Yeah," Lilac said, "Once Jay gets into his protective gear, we can probably leave."

Jay came out, all dressed up and Lilac opened the door. They went outside but heard nothing. Suddenly, a low rumbling echoed across the surface of the moon. The three ran and hopped over to the source of the familiar sound. The space ship was beginning to take off, throwing rocks all over the place.

It took off and a rock flew at Jay, tearing open his oxygen tank. He struggled to breathe and fell to the ground. Violet looked at him, horrified and ran to his side. A rogue corrupted gem ran out into the area, deflecting a rock. Its gem shattered on impact and Lilac fell to her knees collecting the shards.

"Jay!" Violet cried, "Open your eyes! Please!"

She tried to peer through the helmet but decided that wasn't a good way to see if the human was alive. Violet looked to Lilac who was in tears and then to the sky. The gem stood up and picked up Jay's lifeless body and ran to Lilac, picking her up and running into the base. She locked the air in and set Jay on the ground.

"Lilac, please help me," Violet said, "He is sick."

"He's not sick, he's dead," Lilac said, not even looking.

"Lilac, come help me!" Violet said, "He is not breathing, I need the knowledge that you have."

"Do CPR, Violet," Lilac said, touching her fingers to Violet's gem.

Violet gained new knowledge and removed Jay's space suit, throwing the useless pieces against the wall. She then put her lips to Jay's, pushing air down his throat. After pressing on his chest several times, Violet noticed no change.

"Please more information, Lilac," Violet said as Lilac's fingers dug deeply into her gem.

She groaned with the intensity of new information and got up, grabbing a fork and finding an electrical outlet in the station. Violet then dragged Jay's body to the location and attached a cord to the fork, jabbing it into the wall. Lilac and Violet poofed and Jay opened his eyes.

The power was out and he wondered what had happened. He reached to his left and discovered that there was something round and circular. Jay picked it up and brought to his face, bringing out a flashlight.

"Violet?" Jay asked as he felt the gem's smooth surface, "That means something happened to Lilac."

He picked himself up and looked for Lilac's gem. Jay cut himself on a foreign object on the bed as he felt around. He assumed the worst, that Lilac had been shattered and his face was full of sorrow. Seconds later, his hand met another smooth gem with a little crack in it and he breathed in with relief, picking it up. He held both of the Moonstones in his hands and thought about comparing them. Lilac's gem was a couple inches bigger than Violet's. Jay lost his balance and laid in bed, wondering what happened before. The coolness of the gems helped him feel better as he recollected.

"Okay, so my quote on quote teammates left me for death," Jay said, looking at the burnt outlet, "And then I was hit by a rock and Violet tried to look at my eyes but she couldn't. And oh. They electrocuted me with a fork and a cord to revive me. That's a lot to comprehend, isn't it, Lilac?"

He held the gems in his hands and lay spread eagle on his bed, shutting his eyes. He wondered how he was ever going to get back to Earth with two beautiful gems in one piece. Jay eventually fell asleep, dreaming of seeing his gem friends again.

Lilac and Violet returned several hours later on both sides of Jay, laying on the bed. They decided to stay there as the human was nice and warm and they were tired. The two snuggled into his sides and felt safe. Lilac fought back tears even though she had time to calm down in her gem. Violet wondered why she was crying and guessed that it was because of the loss of another Moonstone. Eventually they fell asleep, calmly drifting away from the world they had always known. Jay opened his eyes and was shocked but calmed down, smiling. He liked the feeling of the warmth he was getting from the gems. The astronaut ran his hands through the gems' hair. It felt how he imagined it to be and he grinned. He shut his eyes and held them tighter, falling asleep again.
