Topaz and Steven's body began to become one. They were beginning to form a fusion of themselves. Before they could, Topaz stopped.
"Steven, wait. I think we shouldn't fuse now. I don't think I'm ready for this." Topaz said once they were separate again.
"Look. I understand but you wanted to fuse and now you don't. I just don't know why you don't want to. But whatever." Steven said sighing.
"Look. I gotta go! Bye Steven!" Topaz hugged him and off she went towards the temple.
That's weird. She doesn't usually act like this. I mean we're both 14. So come on!
When Topaz was out of sight, Steven followed her. He seen her go inside the beach house.
"Hopefully, Steven won't follow me here. I need to try to open the door to my room. I need to get away from everything, espically my feelings..." Topaz looked up at the Temple Door.
"Ok. I can't handle this! I got to get her attention." Steven whispered to himself. That was when he got the idea to shapeshift into Ruby. "Okay. Ruby is small enough for me to do. Let's do this. And I can't let her see my gem." Steven began to shapeshift. Out came Ruby. "Yes! I did it! Let's get Topaz to talk."
"Ruby" walked out over to Topaz. "Hey! Topaz! Remember me? Ruby? Ya know who's in a relationship with Sapphire and who can't bare to be away from her?" Steven tried his best to sound like Ruby. He wasn't very good at it.
"Uh hi. I thought you were fused with Sapphire to form Garnet? And if you can't bare to be away from her, then how come you are?" Topaz asked.
"Because... I wanted to run back here to get something to eat for her. So we unfused really quickly. And I can sense something's wrong. Why don't you tell me what it is?" Steven asked in his Ruby voice.
"Hmmmm. I don't know. Let me just try shaleshifting quick, too, Steven. I can do it better." Topaz said with a smirk.
"This isn't Steven. I'm Ruby." Steven said.
Topaz's orange gem began to glow. In her place, stood an orange Sapphire. "And I'm Sapphire now. Ruby, wanna make a Garnet?" Topaz asked.
"Uhhh. Since I'm a Ruby and no one else at all. Then fine. But it won't work since you're a Topaz..." Steven said.
"Okay. I'll play music from Steven's phone." Topaz said grabbing Steven's phone from the counter. She hit buttons until a soft song began playing. "Okay. Let's form Garnet, Ruby." Topaz said.
Topaz began dancing like how Sapphire does. And Steven began dancing like how Ruby does. The shapeshifter version of Sapphire ran towards Steven's version of Ruby. Their gems began to glow, just not in the right places. Topaz's gem on her neck began to glow. While Steven's Rose Quartz gem began to glow on his stomach. The pink version of Ruby lifted the orange Sapphire into the air. Together they began to fuse.
When the fusion woke up, she wondered if she was Garnet.
"Ruby are we Garnet? I don't know if we are." Topaz asked. "I wonder if we are who I think we are.." Topaz said.
"The truth is... I'm not Ruby, but Steven. So I'm pretty sure we are not Garnet." Steven said.
"Well this fusion feels familiar. Almost like when I fused with your mom..." Topaz said. "Wait! We have to find a mirror!"
The fusion got up. She walked around until she spotted a mirror hanging on the fridge. She seen a green fusion of herself and Steven. The fusion had two pairs of arms. And one pair of eyes. She had Topaz's dress as a main piece of her clothing. She had Steven's star where his gem should be surrounding it. On the back of her neck was a green cut out of a star surrounding her gem. Steven's jean shorts became a jean jacket that was very short. She had curly hair that went down to her chest.
"Oh my god! I know who we are! Steven this fusion is a very powerful one! Rose and I only fused to make her in case of emergencies." Topaz said smiling.
"Wow. What's her name?" Steven asked.
"Her name? Steven our new name for now is Emerald. Let's go find the Gems!" Topaz said in excitement.
"Wait. Let's see what our weapon is. First!" Steven said.
Emerald summoned Topaz's nunchucks and Steven's shield. She threw them together. And she got... A shield with chains gripping the back as a handle.
"This is a stupid weapon." Steven said.
"Hold on. It's really cool. If you throw it, the nunchucks will come spinning out the sides like chainsaws. It's really cool. I'll show ya sometime." Topaz said grinning.
"WOW! That sounds really cool." Steven said.
Emerald went walking out the beach house door. "I can't wait to show the Gems. They'll be freaked out!" Topaz said.
"Look. I really like Emerald, but we should be using her for good. Don't you think?" Steven asked.
"Steven. I just want to show them. Besides the Gems can't make us unfuse. Now can they?" Topaz teased. "Besides I'll give ya something then. But only if you be Emerald with me."
Steven couldn't bare the thought of Topaz giving him a hug. "I don't want a hug! I want a kiss on the cheek!" Steven said blushing.
"Fine whatever. It's not like we are ever going to fuse again." Topaz said.
Emerald walked out the beach house door. She heard Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl on the beach.
"Come on! We have to do this right! If we want to fuse with Steven, we have to act like humans." Pearl said.
"Yeah. Like we would be humans. Besides he can fuse, so what? We know he can already." Amethyst said.
"Amethyst, Pearl, we know Steven can fuse with humans. We don't know about Gems. I'm pretty sure he can, but we don't know for sure." Garnet said.
"Hey guys!" Emerald said.
"What... The... He-? Is that another gem?" Pearl stood there gaping.
"GEMS! SUMMON YOUR WEAPONS!" Garnet yelled.
The three Crystal Gems summoned their weapons.
"Topaz... I don't wanna fight." Steven whispered.
"Me neither. But wanna see that shield thing? Topaz asked.
"Sure!" Steven said.
Once again, Emerald summoned Steven's shield and Topaz's nunchucks. She threw them together and got her chain shield.
"That weapon looks very familiar..." Pearl said. "Wait a minute! That's Emerald!"
But it was too late. Garnet and Amethyst already attacked.
Emerald threw her shield and the nunchucks came out at the side. It hit Amethyst and she went down. All of a sudden, her body disappeared. She was in regeneration. Garnet meanwhile was punching as hard as she could but Emerald kept blocking them with her shield.
"GARNET! WAIT!" Pearl screamed.
That caught Emerald off gaurd. This caused Garnet to punch her. And Emerald went flying.
"What Pearl! I was in battle with a Homeworld Gem!" Garnet said.
"That was a fusion! It was Emerald! The fusion when Rose and Topaz fused. That means that Topaz and Steven did it! They are probably hurt! We got to find them!" Pearl said running off in the direction that Emerald went flying.
"Of course, she forgot about Amethyst as usual." Garnet said sighing as she walked off into the direction Pearl went.
