The group were getting ready to head back to Beach City.

Greg has decided that they would leave now. Because there wasn't really much to do in there. And it'd cost him more.

Steven had no problem with it. He missed beach city already.

While Greg and Steven were getting ready. Lion and The Gems were waiting beside the van.

Onyx was just leaning on Lion. Peridot was already on Lion. Pearl and Lapis were just standing there.

They were all waiting for the other two. Pearl decided to break up the silence. "So, Onyx! Are you willing to help me restock some things for the beach house?"

Onyx opened one of his eyes as he just continued leaning on Lion. "I guess so. I'm not busy... I think."

Pearl smiled widely. "Good!"

Lapis didn't really know what to do. So she decided to join in. "I'll help."

Pearl and Onyx looked at her. "You will?" Pearl asked, a mix of confusion and bitterness in her voice.

Lapis swallowed a lump in her throat. "Uhm...yes."

Pearl and Onyx looked at each other. Then looked back at Lapis. "Okay?" Lapis smiled at this.

Greg and Steven went out of their rooms. "Okay, you ready guys?"

"Steven, you can go ahead with Lion if you want?" Greg added. Steven thought of it. "Well...Lion can get pretty lazy. But I'll come with!" The half human, half gem said to his father.

"Alright its your choice." Greg hopped on to the van. Pearl was feeling a bit comfortable because of the now organized van she was in. Lapis was across from her. They looked like they were killing each others presence. Well, Pearl was.

Onyx clicked his seatbelt on and sighed. "Well, Let's go back."

Greg nodded and started the engine. Lion started following the van back to beach city.


Garnet was left alone in the temple. Amethyst decided to hang out with Vidalia, cause she was bored out of her mind.

She sighed. Then a knock came to the door. Garnet walked over to the door and opened it.

It was Connie. "Oh, hey Garnet!"

"Hello, Connie. You know that Steven isn't here, right?" Garnet told the girl.

Connie nodded. "Yeah I do. But he messaged me earlier that they are on the way home." The girl told the tall gem.

Garnet nodded. "You can come in to stay and wait for them." She offered.

Connie nodded and accepted. "Thank you." She walked in.

Garnet noticed that she was holding an envelope. "What's that for?" She asked, pointing at the pinkish envelope.

Connie looked at her hand. "Huh? Oh yeah. Mayor Dewey just gave me this letter on the way here. He told me to give it to "the hot one"."

Garnet put her hand on her mouth. "Isn't Jaime the mailman?"

"I know right? It's pretty weird." Connie said as she continued to look at the letter. "Do you think we should?..."

"That would be unnecessary. It's from the mayor. We don't care." Garnet said buntly.

Connie nodded and put the envelope on the coffee table. She sat down on the couch with Garnet.

"By the way, where's Amethsyt?" Connie asks.

"She's with her old friend."

Connie didn't really know Amethyst's friends except for the Gems, her and Greg. But she didn't need to ask. "Alright then."

She had to admit. She was pretty curious on who the letter was for. She kept staring at it.

Garnet stood up and took the letter and opened it. "Garnet, you said it wasn't of use?" The girl asked the gem.

"My curiosity is killing me." She said with a dull voice. She flipped the paper and scanned through it.

Connie came closer and skimmed the paper. Both were shocked.

There was a drawing of a certain someone on the bottom of the picture. "It's for Pearl?!" Connie gasped. They kept reading the note.

Garnet had a straight face. "That was pretty unexpected." The gem said without cracking a smile even if she wanted to.

"But what are we gonna do? Aren't Pearl and Onyx partners?" The girl asked confusingly.

Garnet didn't know what to do either. She knew that Pearl and Onyx were...atleast something. And same as Lapis. She had an idea. But she didn't like it herself.

"We accept his invitation." The gem said as the human next to her wore a surprised face.

"What?! But what about-"

"He can handle it. I have this idea. But no one will like it. Not even me. But trust me."

"But won't that like, destroy Pearl and Onyx's relationship?"

Garnet was slapped by reality. She looked to the future and found an insane amount of ways that go bad.

"Yes. Never mind my idea. We just leave it here and forget about it." Garnet said bluntly as Amethyst busted through the door.

"Yo! What's up Connie? Hanging out with us for awhile?" The purple gem sat beside the girl.

"Y-yeah. Steven is coming home early. So I decided to stay for awhile." She replied.

She felt comfortable around the gems. Mostly because if Steven. Pearl was her teacher. She hung out sometimes with Amethyst. And Garnet...well, she has always been the type who doesn't talk.

Amethyst noticed the letter on the coffee table. "Woah, who's this from?"

"Well, mayor Dewey have it to me. And we think it's a date letter for Pearl." Connie said.

Amethyst laughed. "What?! You've gotta be kidding me? Onyx is way better than that bozo."

"Garnet and I don't know what to do. Because the letter said that he'll be waiting for her in a restaurant somewhere."

Amethyst thought of an idea. "Just keep him waiting then. It's better than a rampaging gem roaming around beach city."

Connie was confused. "Rampaging gem?"

Amethsyt nodded. "Well yeah. Whenever Pearl goes out with some human on a date, Onyx goes berserk. But then again, that was a few years ago."

Garnet nodded. "He's changed Amethyst. He can't go rampage anymore."

"Yeah? But what about Nyx?" Amethyst asks.

"If they just stay calm. He won't come out." Garnet replies to Amethyst.

Connie had a questioning face. "Who's Nyx?"

"Oh he's the...alter ego of Onyx. His other half." Amethsyt said as she waved her hand up and down.

"Huh...alright." She then looked at her phone. "They should be here in a few minutes."


The group were almost there. They've passed the beach city sign. They were a few minutes late because they had to stop for gas.

Greg felt really uncomfortable because of the silence. He was used to Onyx speaking to him almost twenty-four seven. But he understood what he was going through, so he didn't even bother.

Onyx just looked out the window. The wind was blowing on his face. Onyx didn't really like it when the van was very closed. He liked the smell of the outside air. Except when there were a lot of smoke and pollution in the air.

He watched Lion run at the same pace the van went. He sighed. Greg took notice of this. "Something wrong?"

Onyx snapped out of his trance and looked at Greg. "Yeah..."

"Same thing huh." Greg asked as Onyx responded with a nod. Onyx looked at the rear view mirror to see Pearl looking out the smaller window and Lapis was just keeping herself occupied with her fingers. She had learned the floating sausage trick from Steven.

"Just make sure to not beat yourself up about it." Greg told him lowly. He didn't want the other two to hear.

"I'll be fine, Greg." He replied coldly. Greg just kept his eyes on the road. They were back.

The ride was still silent, until they got to the car wash. "Okay people, let's move out. The sun is gonna set and we're not gonna waste it." Greg said with a smile on his face.

"We'll see you guys in the house." Steven said as Lion kept running towards the beach house.

"Alright, Steven." Onyx replied. He just walked towards the beach.

Pearl and Lapis looked at each other. Onyx wasn't acting right after his "song". And they've noticed it way too much. From bluntly replying. To not even talking.

They just followed him. But both of them were glad that they were back.


Onyx walked towards the shore, completely skipping the house. He sat down on the sand as he looked at the water.

Pearl and Lapis decided not to bother him. He already looked pretty troubled.

Onyx sighed as he laid down in the sand. "Oh man...this is harder than I thought it would be."

"Let's just rest for now. We're most likely to refresh ourselves when we wake up."

"I hope you're right."

Onyx closed his eyes as he drifted off.

He was pretty annoyed. He didn't know what was happening to him.

He felt like ignoring everything...he was...broken.

He couldn't even control himself.

Ignoring Greg doesn't really happen in his book. That's why he knew that something was wrong. He felt...guilty.


Steven, Peridot, Pearl, and Lapis entered the house. Greeted by Garnet, Amethyst, and Connie.

"So, how was it?" Amethyst asked.

"It was fun. But I realized that it's more fun in Beach City." Steven replied with a proud stance.

The others didn't really agree with him. But that didn't matter.

Connie looked at Garnet. The gem nodded. "Hey, Pearl." The girl called out for the pale gem.

"Oh, Connie. Are you here for training?" Pearl asks.

Connie shook her head. "No. Mayor Dewey sent you a letter. I think he wants to...go out with you?" Connie said awkwardly.

Pearl groaned. "Another one of his... "Letters"." She replied.

Connie and Garnet were surprised by this. "Wait, so you're telling me he's sent you more than...this?" The girl asks.

Pearl rolled her eyes back and concentrated on her gem. She materialized a box full of letters. "He keeps sending these letters for about a month." Pearl said as she put down the box and then grabbed the letter from Connie's hand.

"Well...I guess you could put him down easy?" Steven suggested.

Garnet looked over to the boy. "Steven. You do remember the time you put Jaime down easy?"

"Yes...?" Steven said with an unsure face.

"It didn't work." Garnet replies bluntly.

Steven crossed his arms to his chest in disappointment.

"What're you gonna do, P?" Amethsyt asks.

Pearl thought of it for a moment. "Alright. I'll meet him."

All except Lapis and Peridot yelled. "What?!"

"You're serious?!" Amethyst asked loudly.

Pearl nodded. "I want this to stop. So I've got to do this."

The four had their mouths agape.

"But what about, Onyx?" Steven asks.

Pearl blushed. "Don't worry, he'll understand...I think."

Amethyst and Garnet looked at each other nervously.

"If anyone is in need of my presence, I'll be in the bathroom." Peridot announced, breaking the awkward silence. She walks in the bathroom as she shuts the door.

Pearl speaks once more. "Besides. Lapis and I are gonna get some things for the house."

Garnet flinched. She knew this was gonna end badly.

"Pearl...are you sure." Garnet asked with concern in her voice.

Pearl stood there. She knew that Garnet had seen something bad in her decision. But she's got to end this.

She just nodded. "I'm sure..."

Garnet backed up. "Okay. I'm not stopping you. This is your choice."

Everyone went quiet again. Steven grabbed Connie's hand and sneaked out. The Gems just stood there. Lapis was lost for words. She didn't know what to do whenever there was a serious discussion between the Crystal Gems.

She just sat there. As she waited for Pearl.

Finally, she turned around and walked towards the door. Lapis followed.

Garnet and Amethyst were really worried. They couldn't stop. If they wanted to, that would resolve to shouting.

"Garnet...if Onyx sees her with that joke of a mayor together, he'll freak out!" Amethyst told the other gem.

Garnet sighed. "Let's go see what happens." She said, walking towards the door.

But her Gems glowed. She turned around. "Amethyst, there are gem mutants coming out of the kindergarten. Let's move!" Garnet said as she ran towards the warp pad.

"But what about Pearl and the others?!"

"There's no time!"

Amethyst sighed and jumped on the warp pad.


"Hm...gotta be here somewhere."

"Are you sure you know where we're going, Onyx?"

"Of course Amethyst. That old human told me so." Onyx told the small gem.

Amethyst smiled. "Alright." She crawled up onto his back as he tried to look for land.

The two were on a raft. They've been out in the ocean for three days.

"Wait...I think I see land!" Amethyst yells as she pointed at a small looking town.

Onyx smiles and carried Amethyst with joy. "Nice eye Amethsyt!"

Amethyst smiled back. "Now, we gotta push ourselves towards the beach." Onyx said as he put his hand in the water and boosted them with his power.

Amethyst just stood up and felt the wind against her hair. The two then stop on the shore.

Onyx stretched his limbs as he felt great to stand properly again. "Finally, a good stretch."

Amethsyt stretched like a dog and yawned. "We finally get to meet more humans!" She said excitedly.

Onyx chuckles. "Just remember not to transform into some big squid again. That ship sank because of you."

Amethyst blushed with embarrassment. "Sorry..."

Onyx ruffled her hair as she smile at him. "It's okay, Amethyst. We just gotta find shelter for now."

"What about over there?" The small gem pointed at a mountain with a hole in the middle.

"Huh. That looks good." They walked towards the mountain.

As they were getting closer. They noticed that the insides of the mountain was already...taken. The two had nervous faces.

"Onyx...i-is that...?"

Onyx gulped. "Y-yep...that's a warp pad..."

"Run!" Amethsyt yelled as she ran on all fours.

Onyx followed suit. Buy they were immediately cut by a gem just like them. This one had an afro looking hair. She had shades.

Onyx panicked and swiped her off her feet as she fell to the ground. The two kept running.

Then came another, this one was pale. She had her gem on her forehead. And a pointy nose.

Onyx lifted his hand as he guided the wind to pick the gem in front of them up and away from them.

They kept running. The two Gems were chasing after them. "Get back here!" The pale one yelled.

Onyx and Amethyst just kept running, only to be stopped by a bigger gem than them. The two look up at the pink gem.

Amethsyt yelped and transformed into an ostrich as she dug her head below the sand. The pink gem giggled.

Onyx got a little scared. "Uhm...we don't want anything to do with the war...please don't kill us." Onyx said to her face. He stood up showing his feistiness.

The pink gem looked at both of the outsider. "We're not gonna kill you. We're gonna ask you if you want to...join us."

The other two Gems recoiled to their leaders request. "But, Rose, they're outsiders! We can't just let them join us." The pale one said to their leader called, Rose.

"Oh don't worry, Pearl. They look...different than the enemies." Rose said. But she just kept looking at Amethyst.

The red one unsummoned her weapons and talked to her leader. "Are you sure about this?"

Rose nodded. "Of course I am, Garnet. We can always keep other Gems that mean no harm to us."

Onyx plucked Amethyst's head out as they started laughing at each other.

The other three weren't sure about him. And he knew it.

Onyx came closer to Amethyst and whispered to her. "What do you think. Should we stay with these...other Gems?" He asks.

Amethyst didn't really know what to think. "It's your choice pops." She says with a wide smile.

Onyx nodded. "We will accept your...invitation." He said with a bit of hesitation.

Rose smiled. "Good. Pearl, would you be a kind gem and show them around the temple?"

Pearl groaned and unsummoned her spear. "Fine. Let's go...you two..."

Onyx started walking with Pearl. He had Amethyst on his back. He looked back to see Rose and Garnet talking about...something.

He caught a glimpse of them looking at him, but they quickly looked at each other.

He felt like something was up. And he wouldn't want Amethyst to be involved.


Onyx slowly opens his eyes to see Steven and Connie playing in the water with...Nyx?

Onyx stood up and stretched. "Oh, Onyx. You're awake. Aren't you helping with the groceries?" Steven asked the dark gem.

Onyx face palmed. "Gah...that's right. I should be with those two, who knows what'll happen?" He dusted some sand off of his robe. "Nyx, can you stay with the kids for awhile?"

Nyx just growled. Onyx smiled at him.

He was gonna run off, but was immediately stopped by Steven and Connie. "Uhm...Pearl said that...she was gonna do it without you! She saw how...peacefully you slept so she didn't mind it!" Connie lied.

"Yeah! Just come have fun with us!" Steven added.

Onyx knew something was up. Steven was a pretty bad liar.

"Sorry kids, I need to atleast check at them. Nyx. If you would?" Onyx asked his other half.

Nyx just rolled his eyes back and morphed into him. Onyx shook his shoulders and ran off. "Seeya later kids."

Steven and Connie were really worried about what was gonna happen next.


Pearl and Lapis had just finished the groceries. They were met by Greg outside the store.

"Hey ladies. Need help with those?" He asked politely.

"Oh, thank you Greg." She thanked him as she gave him the paper bags. Lapis had done the same.

Greg put the bags in the van and asked the two, "You ladies want a ride back home?"

"Oh, no. I've got business to attend to." Pearl said. She forced a smile.

"Okay? What about you Lapis?"

Lapis looked at the human. "Uh...I'll have a walk around the beach for awhile."

"You sure? It's dark out." Greg asked once more.

Lapis nodded. Greg shrugged and got in the van. "You two have fun!" He drove away.

The two waved goodbye to the man. They then looked at each other. "Thank you for helping me, Lapis. Onyx is just a little hard to wake up." Pearl said jokingly.

Lapis just nodded. "It's no problem. You sure you want to do this with that...human?" Lapis asked.

Pearl sighed. "I have to. He needs to stop once and for all."

Lapis just sighed and started walking off. "Have fun, Pearl."

Pearl nodded. "You too..."

She then started walking towards the diner Mayor Dewey had told her to go to.

She was regretting her decision on the way.


"Hey, get me another soda." Mayor Dewey asked the waiter.

"Sir. This is your sixth soda." Replied the waiter.

He then received another can of soda and chugged it. "Ugh...I'm getting wasted."

The waiter gave him a look of confusion. "Sir, you know that you don't get drunk by drinking soda, right?"

Dewey scoffed. "Whatever."

"Why don't you just go home? The lady is probably not gonna turn up this late." The waiter had told him as he arranged some napkins on the table.

"And you said I couldn't get drunk because of soda." The mayor said out of nowhere.

"What do you mean?"

"I can see the lady coming to us right now." The mayor said, as if he was hallucinating.

The waiter looked at the lady. "That IS her, sir."

The mayor quickly arranged himself. "Wh-what?!"

Pearl quietly sat down on the other end.

The waiter showed her a menu. Pearl politely declined. "I don't eat. Sorry."

The waiter smiled. "That's alright." He was about to leave, but he backtracked and came close to Pearls face. "This guy is nuts..." He whispered to the gem.

Pearl rolled her eyes back and replied, "You don't need to remind me."

The waiter quietly laughs and leaves the two.

"I can't believe you actually came..." The mayor said shyly.

"Well, I was just here to say that, I don't like you and stop sending me those letters. They're gonna get you nowhere." Pearl said straightforwardly, she had no emotion on her face.

Mayor Dewey didn't reply. He chuckled. "You're playing hard to get huh?" He didn't want to accept rejection yet.

Pearl was shocked. "N-no! I'm saying that you need to stop coming onto me like some mindless drone..." She had noticed it.

This human was willing to do anything for her to like him. He was just like her with Rose.

She was frozen. She didn't know what got to her head. But she didn't like it. She just sat there.

She didn't know that Mayor Dewey was moving slowly towards her face.

...

But unfortunately, his face didn't reach hers. So he waited for a response.


"So, you're telling me that they separated?" Onyx was asking questions to a group of teenagers. One was tall, one was a girl and one was a short guy.

The tell one replied. "Yeah. The blue girl walked off straight to the beach and the long nosed one walked towards that diner." He said as he pointed out the direction.

Onyx nodded. "Thanks guys." He ran towards a dark alley.

"Anytime shark guy!" The girl yelled.

"Man, that guy is awesome. He has no care for the world. His hair is the bomb!" The small one added.


Onyx stopped in the alley. "Nyx, I think we have to split for this."

"Good." Nyx came out of him.

"So...You're gonna have to find Lapis. I'll find where Pearl is." Onyx planned out.

Nyx just listened. He might be a little loose. But he cared whenever it had to do with the ones he cared about.

"Okay then." Nyx replied as he started walking off. But before they separated. They were stopped by Steven and Connie.

"Onyx!" The kids both yell.

"What's up kids?" He asks.

"I dont think you should see Pearl right now!" Connie excused.

"And why is that?"

"It's...because she wants to be alone!" Steven lied.

Onyx didn't buy it. "Nice try, Steven. That only picked up my curiosity to a hundred." He said with a smile.

Steven face palmed. Onyx and Nyx walked away from each other.

Steven and Connie didn't know what to do. They were out of options. "Connie, you go follow Onyx. I'll try and find Nyx. He's probably trying to find Lapis."

"O-okay." Connie managed to let out as they went to their respective missions.

Onyx was walking along the boardwalk to try and find Pearl. He didn't know that Connie was following him.

He kept looking around, searching for the only one who looked different from the human.

His heart dropped when he saw that his lover. Pearl. She was being...kissed? And she wasn't doing anything about it.

He didn't know if it was real, because the humans body was covering the other side of the table, and he couldn't see clearly. "Pearl?!"

Pearl went out of her thoughts as she realized the human inches away from her. She quickly slapped him away. "O-onyx?!"

Onyx was shocked. Pearl was...kissing another? And he was human? This was absurd.

His face turned from confusion into anger.

He growled and walked off. Pearl followed him.

Connie had seen everything. She could've done something, but he had already seen the "happening" before she caught up to him.

Pearl ran towards Onyx, but she wasn't able to catch up. She started to form tears in her eyes.


Nyx was walking out in the beach. He has been searching for Lapis for about a minute. And he was already complaining.

"He had to get the easy part." He whispered as he looked over the distance to see a familiar looking blue woman.

Nyx walked over to her as he sat beside her. Lapis looked over to him and to his gem. "You're... Nyx, right?"

Nyx didn't answer, he just looked away. He wasn't much of a talker. He was just a fighter. But...he felt something else when he's around Lapis or Pearl.

"Nyx!" A voice boomed.

The two looked at where the voice came from. It was Onyx.

Nyx stood up. "What happened?" He said with a low growl.

Onyx didn't answer. He just morphed back into Nyx and became whole again.

Onyx opened his eyes to find Lapis staring at him. He felt like nothing inside. He felt...betrayed.

"Why would you do this." He said to himself.

He started walking towards the water. He didn't care where he'd go.

He wanted to have some time alone...

Lapis walked behind him. "Don't follow me, Lapis." He turned around to face her.

Lapis didn't know what was happening. "Where are you going?" She asks.

Onyx looks out in the ocean and sighs. "I'll be back by...tomorrow."

"Let me come with you!" Lapis requested.

Onyx shook his head. "I can't. You might get hurt."

He quickly held her hands with his and lightly massaged them. "Just...tell Pearl that I'm sorry."

With that said, he gave Lapis a long kiss. Lapis just went with it. She liked being in his arms. She couldn't get enough if him. They departed as he smiled at her. "I'll see you all in a day."

He quickly dove into the ocean and was out of Lapis' sight.

Lapis held her chest tight. "What happened to you?" She asked no one. She didn't know what happened before he reformed back with Nyx.

She then heard a voice. "Lapis! There you are! Do you know where Nyx is?!" Steven asked the gem.

Lapis looked down and went to the boy.


Two young Gems were laying on top of a hill, watching the stars.

"Hey, Onyx?"

"Hm?"

"Have you...you know...been attracted to another being before?"

"Not that I know of..."

"Oh..."

"Why is that, Pearl?"

"...Nothing. I was just asking."

"Are you sure?"

"..." Pearl sat up.

"Pearl..." Onyx sat up as he looked at her.

"Hm?"

"I...I never said that I've never been attracted to another gem."

Pearl looked at the dark gem beside her. "Wha-what do you mean."

He held her face. She was starting to tear up. "I have grown feeling for you, Pearl..."

Pearl never felt happier. She quickly gave him a crushing hug. "Oh, Onyx! I do too!"

Onyx smiled as he hugged back.

The two looked at each other, for the first time, as lovers. And it was the first time they shut up and use their mouths for their own pleasure.

It was their first kiss. Out of all the thousands of years, they finally had love.

A small purple gem was watching from afar. She was happy...but she wasn't happy that she'd lost her best friend/father figure to her other best friend.


Sorry for this super boring chapter. I really chopped this off since it was only a filler. I need to do a more boring one than the others since I've planned alot.

Sorry

And I'm also beginning to think this auto correct hates me.

As much as the other people who hate this story.

See kids. This is why you don't do boring fics.

Thanks for the support though!

Luv you peeps!
