Prodigal Gem ch. 10
I OWN AND REGRET NOTHING!
…...
-Finally, Pearl and Amethyst made it home. Those moronic blind-eye's why couldn't they just leave them alone!? Thought both gems to themselves.
The Blind Eye Society...Despite their intimidating name...are more of a nuisance then anything.
Their 'ambush' was easy to spot and even easier to beat down. The annoying part was when they blew up the warp pad...which meant they had to walk the whole way back! It took a week.
The blind-eye society were a group of anti-Bill fanatics...who targeted the gems.
They felt that the power of Bill only infected Earth when the Gems first came; and only when they were driven off or killed would Bill leave earth forever.
Despite their idiocy...the Gems can't help but feel that they have a point...
The fact was that the worship of bill only spread to earth through the teachings of Bill worshiping Gems...which among other things lead to the creation of the Order of the Holy Mackerel...
The Gems shuddered just thinking about them. Despite their silly name; the Order actually was a credible threat to them, unlike the society.
They could still remember when these bill worshiping humans snuck into their house and kidnapped a 2 year old Dipper.
Garnet went ballistic! She went on a roaring rampage of revenge across the country!
20 cities were completely leveled! And that was before she found the Order!
Half of California broke off the continent and sank into the sea!
Thankfully none of the 'normal' humans retaliated...it had long ago become an unspoken rule among humans to never get between a Mama Bear and her Cub.
This thought only depressed them more considering the situation.
They found Garnet pouring over all the data they'd acquired recently about Dipper.
She told them about how Dipper took the journal-
"You hide it in your hair?!" Shouted an incredulous Pearl.
"That's...Actually that's probably the safest place on earth." She admitted. Amethyst nodded in agreement.
-She then told them about the mysterious hybrid that helped Dipper.
"A Pearl?" Asked Pearl in amazement. "She was a Pearl?"
"Forget that! She called Dipper dad?" Asked an astonished Amethyst.
Garnet nodded, turned back to the data, then growls out in frustration.
"GAH! None of this makes sense! Why is Dipper doing this!?"
Pearl scoffs. "I still think this has something to do with Dippers gem.
I don't think I need to remind you that even before the-" She suddenly casts a nervous glance at Garnet. "-Uh...'incident' we've had our concerns about that Gem!"
…...
"Uh, Stanley?" Asks Pearl. "I don't mean to sound ungrateful-"
"Then don't." Said Stanley flatly
Pearl frowns, but continues. "I'm just wondering...why a Diamond?"
Stanley shrugged. "Why not a Diamond? Those are the most powerful Gems, right?"
Stanley then chuckled. "Every parent claims their child is 'special'...but our kids actually going to be able to back it up!"
Pearl frowned. "But...Rose told you our history with 'Diamonds'-"
Stanley gave her a weird look. "what's that got to do with anything? Frankly the idea of my child having the powers you told me about fills me with joy and wonder!"
-not horror and dismay? Thinks Pearl incredulously.
"-I've never even heard of a Black Diamond." Interjects Garnet suddenly.
"Wha- Oh, well according to the journal, their more powerful than all the other diamond types combined!"
He looks to Rose. "-In short: our child is going to be awesome!"
Rose is giddy about the whole thing! The gems on the other hand-
…...
"-Yeah, no offense Pearl but you can't really be trusted to be unbiased where Stanley is concerned." Pointed out Amethyst.
Pearl glared. "Oh, don't give me that! You were all just as concerned as I was!"
To this Amethyst had no answer...
Garnet meanwhile; had begun to anxiously pace.
"There's something were missing here!" She shouted out loud.
"Where's the gem from the mirror? Who is the hybrid that was with Dipper? Where did she come from? What dose Dipper want with the journals? Why did he take the bubbles and lion? Why did Dipper reactivate the kindergartens? And why did he kill this-" She pauses to look at the data for the actual name. "-Preston Northwest person?"
"NORTHWEST!? That's the guy Dipper iced!?"
The Gems turned around and saw Stan and Mabel coming into the house.
Garnet looked at Stan curiously. "You know this human?" She asked curiously.
Stan sighed. "Enough to know that killing him is less a crime than a public service!"
STAN! Shouts a horrified Pearl. She quickly turns to Mabel. "Don't listen to him Mabel, he doesn't mean that!"
"Like fun I don't!" Shouted Stan. "That whole families been nothing but liars, swindlers, and traitors!" Ever since Nathaniel Northwest conned Beach City from William Dewey(and if Williams sudden death afterwords was truly 'natural' I'll eat my fez!); this town has suffered under a seemingly never-ending political dynasty of corruption, greed, and decadence!"
Pearl chuckled good naturedly. "Come on Stan, I'm sure he wasn't that bad."
Stan smirked. "Don't believe me? Fine! Ask the good people of Beach City what they thought of their 'beloved' mayor!"
Pearl shakes her head. "Uh, Stan were kinda too busy here trying to stop your planet from being sucked dry; to waste time-"
"-I say lets do it." Interrupts Garnet suddenly.
Pearl gaps in disbelief. While Stan gives a whoop of triumph. He then goes to start up the car.
Pearl turns to Garnet. "Garnet, we don't have time to-"
"I'm tired of groping around in the dark!" Snaps Garnet. "Now this is the only lead we have! If you have a better idea I'm all ears!" It was a glum Pearl that followed after them...
…..OMAKE...
-Hi! I'm Stan Pines of Stan Co. Enterprises. Are you sick of this always happening to you? (A pitcher of juice is thrown at him, getting juice all over him) Then you need the Shammy of the future! (Begins to wipe himself off, then the commercial skips ahead to him completely clean) Made with the same material astronauts use to clean up cranberry stains on the moon! That's the Sham Total! It's a total sham!
"-Well, that was poorly edited." Commented Garnet flatly after watching the recording of Stanley's twin's commercial.
Pearl just looked confused. "A total shame? What kind of name is that? Who would buy that?"
"-A couple hundred people." Admitted Stanley(with more then a small hint of pride for his twins capabilities hidden behind the words).
Pearl just looks perplexed. "I won't lie...my opinion of humanity has just gone down a couple notches."
Stanley sighed. "Yeah, thankfully the angry mob that went after him also bought Stan Co. brand pitchforks..."
"Put on another one!" Shouts an excited Amethyst...
