Rise of the Jedi Ch 3
"Oh well. We can't just turn around. And besides the girls will give me a distraction." I said silently. We headed down and skated through the gate. We instantly headed to the half pipe. Only to be stopped by four guys.
"Well if it isn't Scarlet and the Gems. I thought girls weren't allowed at the skate park! They are too busy screaming about who likes who, so get out of here!" Blaise shouted from on top of the half pipe.
"I thought basketball freaks weren't allowed at the skate park, they're to busy shooting free throws." I said.
"Man he looks gorgeous while skating!" My mind screamed.
Behind me the girls were laughing and pretending to free throw, block or dribble an invisible ball. I looked back at Blaise he was mad and so did his friends. Oh well. While they were thinking of an answer the Gems and I started doing fancy tricks on the half pipe.
"You so like him I mean look at hi! You gotta hand it to him he's soooooooo cute!" my mind said.
"I'm trying not to look at him. I'm trying to forget about him." I silently explained.
"But it's not working so why don't you just let your emotions run." My mind asked.
"Emotions are dangerous." I said a bit agitated.
"How are emotions dangerous?" My mind said.
"You can hurt others and others can hurt you with emotions. I only show emotions to those who I know would never hurt me." I said.
"Hey Scarlet! Little help over here!" Sapphire called.
I looked over the guys were all trying to push the girls off but my girls know ho to fight.
"Hey leave them alone!" I yelled.
I tried to skate over to the other end of the half pipe but two of Blaise's friends got in my way. Luckily Emerald and Amethyst came and pushed them out of my way. I looked for Blaise and found him at another part of the skate park. Blaise skated around me in wide circles.
"Let's see how tuff you are when your Gems aren't around." Blaise said.
Then he skated away with me skating after him. I managed to force him back to the half pipe since it was the only area in the skate park that wasn't packed with skaters.
"I'd like to see how you can fight when you are surrounded by your team since that is the only time you can fight!" I yelled over the noise.
He pushed me off my skate board.
"Okay he can annoy me all he wants but his friends are pushing my Gems around and he's pushed me off my skateboard. He's gone too far!" My mind yelled.
Somehow through the connection of our minds when I lost control of myself my Gems lost control and that's exactly what happened. I lost control so I punched Blaise and through the connection of our minds my Gems punched the guys they were fighting. With that we all joined each other and stretched out in a strait line. With that Blaise lost his control and apparently he had the same connection with his boys that I did with my Gems. So he and his guys formed a line facing our and punched us but luckily me and my Gems blocked it while kicking them. We all moved in perfect sequence each blocking the others moves, not realizing that all the skaters gathered around us screaming, "Fight, fight, fight!" This battle that we were having could've gone on forever. That is until someone called the people who work at the skate park and the each held us and dragged us away from each other. The man who owned the skate park grabbed me and Blaise by the scruff of our collars and started yelling at us in our faces. Not until he did that was when our groups stopped struggling.
"So you're the leaders of the gang's well listen up punks!" the owner yelled with fury. "Ever since you started coming here in your little gangs you have caused nothing but trouble to this skate park. I built this park so that skaters could skate. Not for you to start fights. Now until you and your gangs quit fighting with each other you won't be allowed to skate at the skate park!"
He released us. "Got it punks!"
"Got it." We said at the same time.
With that I signaled to my Gems to follow me. We picked up our boards and skated out followed by Blaise and his guys.
"You know this is all your fault!" Blaise said as he skated by.
"My fault!" I said indignant skating up to him. "How is this my fault when you started it?!"
"You were the one who punched me first!" Blaise said angrily.
"Let me remind you that you were the one who insulted me and my Gems first. If you kept your mouth shut this never would have happened!" I yelled at him skating further ahead of him.
"Hey Scarlet what are we going to do now that we were kicked out of the skate park by these stupid idiots?" Sapphire asked gesturing at Blaise and his boys.
"We can all go to my house and practice the new song that I wrote." I said.
"You wrote a new song for the band! I can't wait to practice it." Sapphire said with excitement.
"Wait a minute. You have a band?" Blaise asked.
"Yeah got a problem with it?!" I said defensively.
"What's the name of it?" Blaise asked.
"Scarlet and the Gems." I said.
"Who came up with that stupid name!?" Blaise said laughing.
I smiled sweetly. "You did Blaise. We couldn't have done it without you."
"What?" Blaise said frowning.
"You started calling us Scarlet and the Gems so we made it the name of our band. And it was all because of you." I said in my angel voice.
"Do I get the solo that I asked for?" Sapphire asked.
"Yeah, I managed to work the song around the solo that you wanted. Took me longer than I thought it would." I said.
"So now we have another song to practice besides that other one?" Emerald asked.
"We hardly know the other song!"
"The only person who doesn't know the other song is Canary. So don't go blaming me that it's taking so long." I said annoyed.
"Why is it my fault?" Canary asked.
I opened my mouth to reply but Amethyst answered first.
"Well Canary if you would learn the rhythm to the song we would've memorized the song by now!" Amethyst said hotly.
"Here we go!" I said.
"Well in case you forgot it took you forever to learn the rhythm to the second song, Amethyst." Emerald replied.
"Yeah but remember the third song we learned that took you forever, Sapphire." Emerald replied angrily.
"Well excuse me! But why don't you try to play the guitar sometime! It must be easy to bang your hands on the piano!" Sapphire yelled.
With that all of my Gems started to fight with each other. I picked up my skateboard and started to bang my head against it.
"Looks like you're having a bit of trouble controlling your Gems." Blaise laughed.
"The only trouble I have is with you!" I said crossly.
"With me?! What did I do to you?" Blaise asked.
"Well I'll let you figure that out for yourself." I said.
I turned to my Gems, put my fingers to my lips and blew hard. The whistle was a piercing sound. They all stopped and picked up their skate boards. "Now I think we are all going to go to my house and practice." I said picking up my skateboard.
I threw my skateboard, ran, and jumped on it. Skating away I looked at the Gems to see that they followed me and they did. We skated away to my house not realizing we were being followed by Blaise and his boys.
I got to the secret entrance that only I and my Gems knew about.
"It is Scarlet and her Gems. Let us all in." I said in a commanding voice.
Slowly and silently the door slid back revealing a slide like tunnel. So we all jumped in (including Blaise and his boys).
"Show me our bands instruments." I said.
"Fine Scarlet." My mind said. "But you don't have to be so bossy. And what happened to you guys?"
"We ran into Blaise and his boys. There was a fight at the skate park and we got kicked out." I said annoyed.
"Didn't you throw the first punch?" My mind asked.
"He was the one that insulted me and my Gems!" I yelled. "Honestly you would think a mind would just follow orders."
"I am your mind! I voice everything that you don't want to say." My mind said.
"Well my mind can get her voice taken away from her." I threatened.
"You wouldn't do that to me." My mind shrieked.
"Try me!" I dared her.
Instantly our band instruments appeared.
"Thank you." I said.
