A/N: Thanks everyone for staying with me! I hope you have enjoyed the story so far! Three Chapters left! -Mali XO
"So we are going over to Marsha's house tomorrow to chat with the other gems?" Alyssia asked, brushing her hair, "What should we bring?"
"Well they probably don't want food, but we can bring some tea or pie for Rick and Marsha," Chrissie said, switching out her outfit for a longer sleeved one that exposed her belly gem, "How do I look?"
"Awesome," Alyssia said, bidding the gem farewell, as she had to work.
Chrissie left the apartment several minutes later and walked past the alley. Lisa wasn't there so she felt a little bit safer than she usually would. She looked to the watch Alyssia had given her. The gem could spare a few minutes to explore her curiosity. Chrissie walked down the alley, all the way to Lisa's burnt house. The petite girl lay on the toasted couch, turning her eyes to Chrissie. She smiled at the gem but didn't move from her spot. Chrissie walked cautiously over to the girl and tried to get a better look. Lisa exposed her side and the gem immediately got out a needle and thread with serum. As she stitched, Lisa chuckled to herself.
"What are you laughing at?" Chrissie asked, tying off one of her stitches and starting a new set of stitches on her back.
"Oh nothing… It's just that you always help me," Lisa said, "I tortured your gem friends and I hurt Alyssia. Why do you keep helping me?"
"Good question," Chrissie said, "I guess I just don't wish to know that another human is suffering, especially when I can do something about it."
"You can't do anything about my suffering," Lisa said, "I can't be fixed."
"Sure you can," Chrissie said, "Here have some human food."
Chrissie reached into her gem and brought out a protein bar, handing it over to Lisa. She then looked to her watch and said goodbye to the petite blonde, leaving her with the bar.
The gem opened the doors to the gym; she was right on time for Tina. They proceeded to work out for an hour. After they finished, Tina asked Chrissie out to dinner. She completely forgot that she had something planned with Alyssia and said yes. The say passed by quickly and as soon as Chrissie got off of work, she made her way to the plaza, waiting for Tina. Surprisingly enough, the short brown-haired woman was wearing a rather revealing dress. She smiled and grabbed Chrissie's arm. The two walked over to a really expensive place. Tina ordered a plethora of delicious looking food for her and Chrissie to split.
Chrissie smiled and tried to eat the food. She became extremely sick and asked to go to the bathroom. Tina permitted her to and had a third shot of tequila. The gem spent several minutes trying to form a stomach, she stared at the anatomy books she had but nothing happened. It had been a very long while since she shape shifted, at least five thousand years ago for her shattered diamond. She stared in the mirror and dissipated her stomach. The gem remembered what she had told Alyssia. Chrissie instantly felt guilt pouring through her and opened the bathroom door to exit. Tina came through at the same time as her and grabbed the gem's hands, lacing her fingers through them.
"Hello," Tina said, slurring, "Wanna have some amazing sex?"
"Whoa there," Chrissie said, "You are inebriated, you can't make wise decisions like this."
"Well I feel pretty wise right now," Tina said, backing Chrissie into a stall and closing the door.
"I haven't tried intercourse yet and I don't have romantic feelings for you, Tina!" Chrissie said, struggling to not sit on the toilet.
"We can try right now, my darling," Tina said, smiling.
She tried to take off Chrissie's clothes but they wouldn't budge. Instead Tina just ran her hands along Chrissie's body as the gem groaned. She gave up and submitted to Tina's touching, avoiding eye contact and frowning. Chrissie wanted it to be Alyssia touching her, not Tina.
All of a sudden the door rattled and Alyssia stood in front. The shorthaired, dark-haired girl stood angrily in front as she ripped the door open.
"What are you doing with my Chrissie?" she asked, "It doesn't look like she wants whatever it is that you are doing to her."
Chrissie smiled weakly, "I train her every morning at eight. She is a very hard worker."
"I know you are scapegoating, Chrissie," Alyssia said, "Now, could you please leave my girl alone?"
"She is your partner, Chrissie?" Tina asked, "What a lying wh*re you are."
Tina scoffed and walked out of the restroom, slamming the door. Chrissie picked herself and wiped the lipstick off of her cheeks. Alyssia looked at her and caught her before she tripped.
"Whoa, are you okay?" Alyssia asked, holding her lover up.
Chrissie bawled, "Why does everyone try to have intercourse with me?"
"Not sure," Alyssia said, stroking Chrissie's back, "Sometimes it takes all of my effort not to want to kiss you. I guess it's just the fact that you are so kind and loveable."
Alyssia helped Chrissie walk out of the bathroom and the two entered the eating area, "Did you still want to go to dinner?"
"Only if you feel like it, Chrissie," Alyssia said.
"You only live once, right?" Chrissie asked.
Alyssia nodded as Chrissie formed a long light blue dress. She spun around and grabbed her human's hand, walking over to a table. The gem lifted up Alyssia into a seat and lit a candle.
"What was even the coincidence that I found you here?" Alyssia asked, "This must be some form of luck."
"Yeah," Chrissie said, "I don't think Tina will be coming to fitness training anymore."
"Oh well," Alyssia said, "You aren't going to miss her are you?"
"She was usually so nice, but I will probably get over her. Besides I never knew that she had such bad intentions," Chrissie said, "Oh yeah, Alyssia, your wounds have been healed up because you touched the water right?"
Alyssia felt the spot where the wound should be, "Wow, they are all gone."
"That's amazing!" Chrissie said, "By the way; I visited Lisa's house this morning and stitched up her wounds. I gave her a bar and she probably ate it, but she seemed regretful of everything that happened the other day."
"Oh, did she?" Alyssia asked.
"Yeah," Chrissie said, "I know that she shot you but she just wants someone to talk to."
"Hm," Alyssia said, thinking, "You wish to help someone who tortured you and a bunch of gems and your girlfriend?"
"Well…" Chrissie said, "If you put it like that…"
"I understand that you want to help everyone, but sometimes they just can't be helped," Alyssia said.
"I know," Chrissie said as food was served for Alyssia to eat and a glass of wine for the gem.
She took a sip as Alyssia ate her food, "Wow this is really good. I have never eaten here before and it tastes better than I thought."
"Is it as good as my cooking?" Chrissie asked devilishly.
"Nope," Alyssia said, smiling.
"That's what I thought," Chrissie said, smiling.
After they finished their meal, the two girls walked back home. Chrissie was glad that her lover saved her from that situation, but she never wanted to be touched like that again except for if it was Alyssia. When the door closed, Chrissie sat down on the couch next to Alyssia and stared as the girl accessed her phone. She stashed it on the couch's arm and looked to Chrissie.
"Do you need something?" Alyssia asked.
"Do you need help getting out of that dress?" Chrissie said, simultaneously.
"Well, perhaps," Alyssia said, "Would you care to?"
"Yes ma'am," Chrissie said, smiling.
The gem began unzipping the dress to the bottom. Alyssia surprisingly wasn't wearing anything underneath it. She stepped out of the dress and Chrissie picked up the piece of fabric, blushing and trying not to look at her lover for fear of losing control.
"So, uh, how do I look?" Alyssia asked, undoing her braided hair.
"You have filled out the spaces that were empty… Er," Chrissie scratched her head, "Okay, I must say this. You have a most beautiful body."
Alyssia blushed, "Thank you. Can I see yours or is it too uncomfortable?"
"You can," Chrissie said, dissipating her dress.
"It's got no parts," Alyssia giggled, "But you have a very nice body."
Alyssia touched Chrissie's gem, by this time, the shorthaired girl's chest was close enough for Chrissie to notice a something she hadn't before. She touched the hexagonal shape with her fingertips. Alyssia started to kiss Chrissie's lips after gently lifting her head. The two made out for a few minutes before making their way to the bed. Chrissie moaned into Alyssia's mouth as they continued together through the night of no return.
"Wow," Chrissie said, "Last night was amazing."
"It was," Alyssia said, kissing Chrissie under the sheets.
"Oh crap what time is it?" Chrissie asked.
"Oh no! It's nine thirty! We are going to be late!" Alyssia said, hopping out of bed, stark naked.
"Okay, I will get you some breakfast," Chrissie said, standing up.
"Hm, I think I must have eaten enough of you last night to be full today," Alyssia said, smiling.
"But you didn't," Chrissie said, "Nothing of me is missing."
"Your virginity is," Alyssia said, smiling and putting on some clothes.
"Wow," Chrissie said, putting a homemade pop tart down in the toaster.
The gem then formed her usual outfit and fixed her messed up hair. The two shortly left the house with the food items. Marsha's map was poorly drawn, but Alyssia and Chrissie were able to follow it.
The mansion was unbelievably huge. Marsha's butler came up to them and introduced them to the living space. Chrissie couldn't believe the way that all of the gems were so well adjusted. She walked over to where Marsha and Rick were sitting.
"This place is amazing," Alyssia said, looking to Marsha, "Thank you for inviting us."
"Oh, anything for you guys," Marsha said, "By the way, we have some visitors. Actually, quite a few… Here they are."
Chrissie tried to remember who they were, but she couldn't for the life of her. She held out her hand to be shaken and the tan gem across her smiled, accepting it.
"Hello, my name is Amber and this is Luca oh and of course, Turquoise," the short gem said, pushing Luca further.
"Hey," Luca said, "We met a while ago when you washed up on the beach."
"The beach is a nice place isn't it," Chrissie said.
"We are here because you are a relic," Turquoise said, reaching into Chrissie's mind.
"Whoa there, might I please ask you to leave my mind?" Chrissie said.
"You have done some very impure things last night!" Turquoise said, pulling out a strange object.
"Okay, okay, what is that," Chrissie said, backing away.
"Your mind is so empty," Turquoise said, frowning and activating whatever she had in her hand.
"Can't one day go without something bad hap-" Chrissie started but couldn't finish as she was jabbed.
She rolled on the ground as electricity travelled through her veins. After a few seconds passed, the effects went away.
Amber looked down at her after giving Turquoise an angry look, "Are you uh… okay?"
"Yeah," Chrissie said, "That is a strong object, it did something weird to me."
Chrissie started laughing as all of her memories flooded back into her head. Corruption overtook and everyone backed away as she transformed into an oversized griffin. She took off, not noticing that she had a passenger with her. Alyssia yelled out loud from Chrissie's tail.
"Chrissie you need to calm down, look how high we are going," Alyssia said, "I won't be able to breathe soon."
The griffin started to transform back into the regular Chrissie. She stared into Alyssia's eyes as the human kissed her.
"I'm so sorry, I tried not to lose control," Chrissie said, practically yelling in the wind.
"That's okay, we still have about a minute before we get smashed to smithereens," Alyssia said, holding her lover's hands.
As Chrissie's corruption disappeared forever, she kissed Alyssia. They started to glow and became one. The fusion couldn't recognize what happened as it fell to the Earth. Wings sprouted from the back as it glided to the ground. It unfused and Chrissie was in Alyssia's arms.
"Wow, this is amazing," Chrissie said, smiling.
"I know," Alyssia said, "I have wings!"
The two floated to the ground. Turquoise had calmed down by this time and was starting to feel guilty.
"All of my memories are back thanks to your contraption, a homemade destabilizer," Chrissie said, jumping to the solid ground, "And now Alyssia is actually displaying the fact that she is a human angel."
Something moved and Alyssia's shirt fell forward and the human girl instantly blushed.
"Please block Luca's eyes," Alyssia said, turning around sheepishly.
"Why, what's wrong?" Luca asked as Amber covered his eyes.
Marsha gave Alyssia her jacket, "Thanks."
Rose Quartz looked at Alyssia's wings and giggled a little bit, "Her wings tore through her clothes guys!"
Alyssia blushed, "How do I get them to go away?"
Amethyst smiled, "Just relax, honey. They will go away when your gem doesn't feel uptight."
"What gem?" Alyssia asked.
"The gem on your," Amethyst turned over to Emerald, "Where was it again?"
"It's on her chest," Emerald said.
"Yeah," Amethyst said.
"I don't have a gem," Alyssia said.
Her wings shuddered, and Rose Quartz giggled a bit, "It looks like you are a bit cold."
Once they were inside, Chrissie touched Alyssia's sensitive wings. Alyssia blushed a little bit, but took a deep breath. Her wings were fairly emotional entities, but they liked it when they were stroked. The wings decided to behave after a bit. They flapped once, picking Alyssia up from her seat and dissipated into the air. Alyssia breathed a heavily sigh and sat back down next to Chrissie.
"See?" Chrissie said, "But the wings were kind of pretty weren't they?"
"Yeah," Alyssia said, "Now I kind of miss them."
"Can I have the use of my eyes back now, Amber?" Luca asked.
"Oh yeah," Amber said, chuckling nervously.
Chrissie smiled as Marsha brought Alyssia a new shirt, "There we go, Alyssia."
"Thanks," Alyssia said, smiling.
"I'm sorry, Chrysocolla," Turquoise said, frowning, "I didn't mean to hurt you."
"Oh that's fine," Chrissie said, "You were just worried because I hurt Amber pretty bad at the beach. Gosh I can't believe I spent weeks in the ocean just to look for teleports. Plus, I am a pretty aggressive person. Anyways, should we all make an attempt to get back to Homeworld? The Diamonds must want to see us."
"Actually," Amber started, "Yellow Diamond isn't all that friendly with us anymore. I doubt the other Diamonds would take us back. We should just try to protect ourselves from Homeworld's grasp."
"Alright," Chrissie said, applying a delicate pressure to Alyssia's hand.
"Well," Marsha said, "Is everyone ready for lunch?"
"Sure," Alyssia, Luca, Turquoise, and Amber said.
