Not Real
Amethyst was just chilling, watching something on YouTube. She looked over at Pearl. Pearl was reading a book. There was nothing to do. The house was as quiet as ever.
Then, the most unexpected way, Garnet barged into the house and stepped on the warp pad. For some reason she was holding a pink bottle. before warping away, Garnet said:
"Pearl, I suggest that you walk out of the house now."
"Wonder what that was about." Said Pearl as she walked out of the house.
Amethyst turned back to the video. A few minutes passed, and the warp pad activated again. It was Garnet, Peridot and Lapis. Garnet was holding a pinkish bubble in her hands.
"Oh, no, Garnet we are not picking that conversation."
"You can also stand outside, if you want to."
"Um, no."
"Then turn off that tablet."
Amethyst did as she was told.
Garnet sat down and popped the bubble. Her hands shaking, she examined the shards. Amethyst watched as Garnet turned the pieces in her hand.
"IT'S NOT A REAL ROSE QUARTZ GEM!" She roared.
"Is everything all right - ohhhhhh. I'll just step outside and…" Said Pearl as she walked in.
" it's okay. This is not a real gem." Said Garnet as she tossed the shards in the rubbish bin with deadly accuracy.
"But how?!" Asked Peridot and Lapis in unison.
"And what gave you the idea to check the gem?" Asked Amethyst.
"And what on earth happened to Steven?!" Said Pearl, but everyone ignored her.
"I was walking on the beach and then nearly got hit by a frisbee." Garnet was interrupted by Amethyst's and Peridot's snickers. She Glared at them and continued
"A girl came up to me and asked for the frisbee"
"We don't need the play by play, get to the point already!" Impatiently Said amethyst.
Ignoring her, Garnet Continued.
"Her name was Hope. Her friend called her over and they went away. Then I found this." Garnet showed them the label on the bottle.
'Hope Maheswaran-Quartz Universe If you find this bottle please call this number: 5244796388.'
Pearl nearly did a double backflip falling off the chair she was sitting on. Amethyst just choked on air.
There was a long moment of tension.
"Okay, we found the bottle. Let's call the owners." Said Amethyst breaking the silence.
Pearl pulled out her phone. She typed in the number.
After a few moments she said "voicemail"
"Just say something!" Said Amethyst.
"Ummm, hope this'll reach Hope's Parents. We found your daughter's bottle and would like to return it. Call us back, bye." And she awkwardly hanged up.
"That has got to be the most awkward voicemail I ever heard." Noted Amethyst.
"We should go." Said Lapis as she and Peridot stepped on the warp pad. And then, in a flash of light, they were gone.
"What do we do now?"
"Wait." Said Garnet flatly.
