Amethyst's first fusions
Chapter 3: Fighting amongst the team
Pearl's Gem glowed and she got into a ballet position.
"Uh…" said Amethyst realizing she is unsure of what to do.
Pearl stood there like a statue waiting for the next move.
"You can do it!" said Rose excitedly from a distance with Garnet to her right watching silently with her arms crossed.
Amethyst was worried and confused, anxious to do this before anyone starts rushing her.
Pearl peaked with her left eye and noticed that Amethyst didn't do anything.
"Amethyst!" she yelled obviously impatient, "what are you doing?" Said Pearl more gently this time.
"I- I don't know how to fuse…" she confessed.
Pearl was confused.
"You never taught her?" Pearl asked.
"It's not something you can teach it comes from the heart" said Garnet.
"Anything can be taught" said Pearl, "Now follow my lead" she said to Amethyst as she got into her ballet position.
Amethyst followed the order and got into a similar position.
Pearl pirouetted over to her and she did the same.
Pearl stopped and put out her hand for Amethyst to grab.
"W-woah! How do you stop this crazy thing!" said Amethyst pirouetting out of control.
Amethyst crashed into Pearl.
"Amethyst!" Said Pearl exasperated.
"What was that? The dance is very simple all you have to do I-" said Pearl before getting interrupted.
"I don't care!" Yelled Amethyst in anger," This fancy dance thing is just…not me!" she said.
"Look at me I'm Pearl!" said Amethyst mocking her and imitating her dance moves, "Im the fanciest Gem ever because I come from space! Look at me I'm so fancy and perfect and nobody can ever be more perfect then me!" Said Amethyst in a high voice.
Pearl blushed.
"Stop that this instant!" she said angry as she was being humiliated.
She looked over to Rose who couldn't help but encourage Amethyst and laugh a little.
She then looked over to Garnet who was snickering.
"Garnet!" she said quite surprised Garnet would be laughing too.
"Sorry but…most of it is true." She said still in her stoic voice.
Pearl was infuriated.
"Well, I'm not some tiny weakling that is of no use to us!" said Pearl in her anger.
Amethyst was once again heartbroken and suddenly got angry.
"Weakling huh? I'm Weak!" she yelled summoning her whip and tying it around Pearl.
Pearl gasped as Amethyst threw her into the wall of the bubble.
Pearl groaned before summoning her Spear.
"Amethyst! Stop! There is no way you can beat me!" Said Pearl.
Amethyst mocked her.
"Amethyst, Pearl! Stop!" yelled Rose going to break up the fight.
Amethyst tried to whip her as Pearl gracefully dodged every move.
"I'm going to have to teach you some manners!" said Pearl charging a ball of energy at the tip of her spear.
Amethyst stood there in fear she never knew Pearl could to that from her spear! She thought it was only for cutting or throwing she can't possibly defend against that!
"Maybe… I am weak." Said Amethyst waiting for it.
"Stop!" said Rose summoning her shield and protecting Amethyst from the blast by blocking it.
"BOOM"
Another explosion happened as the blast was blocked by Rose's shield
"Stop this you two" Said Rose angrily, "We're a Team and teammates do not fight!" she said looking at both of them.
"We." Said Rose holding back some tears," Are all that's left of my once-great army of Gems that decided that what the Diamonds were doing was wrong!" Said Rose with a pause nothing could be heard but the wind and the monster trying to destroy the bubble all this time.
"There were only 3 of us left" Said Rose respecting the Decision of Ruby and Sapphire to stay as one entity, "And now we have a new Teammate we need all the help we can get if they return!" said Rose bringing up the dreadful thought of a return by Homeworld.
"We can't give up on her and we cant fight each other either!" Rose said enough.
Pearl and Amethyst dematerialized their weapons.
Rose turned around and calmly asked Pearl,
"Pearl, What were you doing?" she said calmly.
"I, was defending myself! She attacked me first!" Said Pearl making an excuse.
"That blast was very powerful…" Said Rose, "What were you going to do to her?" she asked wondering what Pearl meant by "Teaching you some manners".
"I… was just going to do enough damage to retreat her into her Gem that's all she was being dangerous! She most likely should be sent back to the temple." Said Pearl wondering what her response would be.
"Pearl, Why don't you try talking to her?" Said Rose calmly wondering if Pearl isn't treating her like a normal Gem but like a monster.
"Because she was ruthlessly attacking me! I had no choice but to fight!" Said Pearl.
"Pearl, Please understand Amethyst is going to be on this team you two have to get along with each other." Said Rose.
She walked over to Amethyst who was just standing there in shock.
"Are you ok Amethyst?" Said Rose expressing concern.
"Huh?" said Amethyst seemingly waking up from a trance, "I'm Ok." She said quickly.
Garnet wondered how this will affect the future of the team.
Suddenly, The monster that they completely forgot about had drained all its energy trying to pop the bubble with little success it got frustrated and roared before Jumping into the storm clouds and disappearing.
"It got away" said Garnet.
"Well, if we didn't waste time trying to Fuse we would have destroyed it!" said Pearl angrily.
"No we wouldn't" said Garnet lifting up her glasses slightly and letting them come back down.
"So now what?" asked Amethyst.
"We wait for it to return" said Garnet.
Rose nodded.
They used the Warp pad and returned back to the Crystal Temple.
They returned to their consecutive rooms Amethyst's room was filling with lots trees and rocks and other natural things and even some kind of artifact they found from a lost tribe it was a lot emptier than it is now.
Amethyst thought about what Pearl said was she really nothing but a weakling?
Pearl returned to her Room thinking over the things she said today and was quite disappointed in herself and the way things went she hopes Rose can forgive her and hopes Amethyst can too she just isn't used to her and her origin.
Rose thought about a perfect team where they would all get along nicely but the more she thought about it the more she realized how much of an opposite they are to each other.
The room made clones of them.
She thought about how Pearl is tall and thin and proper and neat and then how Amethyst is Short and full and Disorganized.
She thought about how getting them to fuse was going to be a difficult challenge.
