Enjoy the story ( ' 3 ')

School AU: Part 2

"Hmmmm. Let's see here…" the balding man sipped at his coffee before clearing his throat, shuffling the papers in his hand. "We haaaave…impersonation, three minor injuries, incidents of extra terrestrial activities, and destroyed property that's being run down as vandalism."

"NOW THAT'S NOT –"

The police officer held up a hand, cutting her off. "Miss Persephone. You may state your objections after I have finished speaking."

"OOOOOOOOOooooo…" she pouted her lips out and clenched at her hands, taking a deep breath and releasing slowly. " Fine," she stated simply, turning her head to the side and crossing her arms. "Insignificant little human," was her final muttered response.

He cleared his throat again, looking back down at his reports. "Now, it says here that your son -"

"He's not our son," the tallest woman interrupted. "We are his caretakers."

"…now it says here that the…child currently taking residence in your dwelling…was involved in some sort of fight. Is this correct?"

"Yup," the purple being lightly chuckled. "Now say what happens next!"

He glanced up at the widely grinning girl, giving a tired sigh before continuing. "It also says that he was the first to throw the fist. Can you confirm this?"

"NO WAY IN ALL UNIVERSE'S WOULD MY LITTLE BOY -"

"Yes," the larger woman broke in. "Please continue."

Ignoring the incessant muttering from the thin woman, the man begrudgingly continued. "A-hem. Now, after seeing this incident occur, it is understood that you…three… and a half(?)…intervened and took matters into your own hands to end this unfortunate event," he looked up, glasses glinting in the limited sunlight from the closed window blinds. "Correct?"

"Well…yaaaaaa…"

"…but with certain misplaced details!" Miss Persephone quickly added on to the short woman's statement. "Why don't you let me, ahm, clarify the series of events that occurred."

/FLASHBACK SPARKLE LIGHT/

"RRRRRIIIINNNNNNNGGGG!"

At the sound of the gym bell, the pale teacher halted in her pre-calculus lecture and beamed happily. "Alright children!" she called out. "There's the sound of the bell for your next class! Erm…your next…class…which iiisss…"

"…gym!" a random voice shouted in the middle of the class.

"Ah! Yes, gyyym…so, up and out then! Have fun at this…geeyyyym…"

"Oh boy!" Steven smiled, shaking with excitement. "I've never been in a gym class! Have you Rufina?"

"Nope," she replied, scratching at her head with minimal interest.

"What about you Sally?"

"No," she answered with her soft voice. "I've heard it's quite exciting though."

"OOOHH BOY!" he squealed, now beginning to shuffle out from his seat as the other children were doing. "Do you think we'll be able to go to the playground? Or…or maybe we'll play b-baaseball!"

"What's baseball?" they both questioned at the same time.

"UM…well…it's, it's like -"

"Hey Steven!" he felt a soft hand come to rest on his shoulder. "Is it all right if I walk with you?" At the sound of the girl's voice, he immediately blushed, not turning around. Instead, he managed to catch eyesight with Rufina and Sally who were now viewing him in amusement.

"It's cool Steven," Rufina quickly put in, punching his arm lightly. "We'll meet you at the gym."

"O-okay…see ya then," and with a final grin, his new friends walked out from the classroom, hand in hand. Taking a deep breath, he slowly turned around and gave a nervous smile.

Okay Steven, he thought while straightening his back, running a hand through his hair. Introduce yourself politely and be cool.

"HI!" he blubbered out, turning and grabbing her hand, shaking it ferociously. "I'MSTEVEN!WHATSYOURNAME?!"

"Wh-o-o-oa!" she laughed, slipping her slender hand out from his grip and stretching it out. "Nice to meet you Steven…even though I already knew your name. I'm Connie!"

"HI CONNIE."

"Um…hiiii…?"

"YA! A-HA HA HA HA. HA."

"…"

"…"

Before the awkward tension could shatter the blossoming friendship, a certain teacher happened to jump into action

"Well hello there young human!" she greeted, thrusting her face only inches away from the young child's head. "May I ask what you two trooooublemakers are still doing here?"

"Oh! Miss Persephone! We were just on our way to the gym now! C'mon Steven!" turning, she grasped his hand and ran out from the room.

"B-bye Miss Persephone!" his voice echoed from the hallway, bringing a smile to the teacher's thin lips.

"Oh they're so adorable."

"Ge-he he he he. Careful with that…thing…kid. It might poke your eye out!" At these words, the child dropped the basketball with horror and scrambled away to the other side of the gym where the jump ropes were placed. Chuckling, she picked up the rolling ball and began dribbling it.

"Wow, your pretty bad at this."

At her words, the amethyst colored woman grinned and turned to face the ruby colored girl. "What? I make an amazing gym teacher. Even though I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to be doing."

"Well, if I know anything about humans…pretty sure it's not going around and scaring little human children with fake ideas."

She smirked. "Eh, what can I say? I'm bored." Dirbbling the ball, she opted for a shot but ended up with the ball sailing half way across the large area. "A-whoops," she sniggered. "AnyWAY. So how's your part coming?"

"Oh ya! MY part. Well, for one thing, my name is now Rufina."

"And I'm Sally," the sapphire colored girl came to speak out from behind Rufina.

"Wow, Rufina and Sally," she snickered, holding a hand over her mouth. "Well, you two kinda do look like -"

"Don't say it Amethyst."

"…cute wittle second year olds!"

"I think you mean second graders Amethyst," the blue one quietly put in.

"Ya ya, whatever," she yawned, stretching her back. "I'm just glad Pearl didn't go and make up some human name for me. It'd probably be…Amy or…or Amelia,"she shivered. (A/N: Amethysts opinion alone, those are beautiful names in my perspective) "Nope! My names Coach and Coach alone! Weird right?"

"Yes. Strange indeed."

"Ya, and I also…saaaay…wait a minute! Why haven't YOU changed your appearance or anything? Steven's going to be here any minute no-"

"Coach! Coach!" the blonde child slid to a halt in front of Amethyst, hands on his knees and breathing hard as he attempted to catch his breath. "Coach!"

"Ya ya, what is it kid?" she snapped, picking at her nose uninterested.

"There's a fight going on in the hall!"

"Really!" she immediately perked up, a grin forming on her expression. "C'mon Rub's! You too Saph'! Let's go watch!"

"Amethyst."

Her smile immediately deflated, beside her, Ruby also frowned in disappointment. "Fine," she sighed. "Just this once for you Sally."

"No. This is for Steven, Amethyst."

"Wait!" all attention went back to the forgotten blonde haired child. "Did you say Steven?"

"YURP. Sure did kid! Why?" Amethyst began making her way lazily towards the exit doors of the gym where the faint yells of children could be heard. "Ya'know him or something?"

"YES! He's the one that threw the first punch!"

At this fact, all Gem's froze in their place. First they all made eye contact with the kid, then with each other, and finally all at once sprinted for the door, tearing it off its hinges and casting the remains to the side. As she ran, Amethyst distinctly viewed a flash of bright light next to her, a larger woman now running beside her.

"Nice to see you Garnet," Amethyst panted, making a sharp right and listening closely for the sounds of the fight.

Garnet only nodded, summoning her gauntlets and picking up the pace of her sprint. At passing by the classroom in which she had previously been occupying, she came to a screeching halt and punched the door straight off its pivots. "Pearl!" she yelled to the startled gem. "Let's go! Stevens in trouble!"

Immediately, the teacher act was put to an end. She dropped the book and quickly altered back to her original look, pulling out her stored spear and running out the door to her awaiting comrades. "Let's move!"

With an affirming nod from all, they proceeded their run, following the shouts and cheers of the kids. Finally at veering left, feet sliding slightly at the polished hallway floor, they were met with the sight of a circle of kids ranging in age.

"Fight! Fight! Fight!" they all chanted. In the middle could be seen a boy with a red shirt, arms raised defensively and a purple bruise noticeably forming atop his forehead. Behind him was the Connie girl, tears in her eyes and tugging at his red shirt pleadingly.

"Gems!" at the sound of her voice, Steven grew perceptibly still. "Move!"

Amethyst taking action first leapt into the air, curling into a ball of spiked hair and smashing into the area in front of Steven, blowing back the large girl who had been the opponent of Steven. Pearl was next, leaping into the 'circle of violence' and grabbing at Steven, tucking him easily under her arm and jumping out from the circle.

By now, all the children were starting to panic, some even taking extreme measures and beginning to scream loudly. Of course, this was completely ignored by the Gems. Setting Steven down next to Connie, all Gem's were now deathly focused on the three trembling middle schoolers.

"State your name," Garnet barked, gauntlets raised as she approached the leader of the group of girls.

"I…I don' need to tell you squat ya freak!" Despite her trembling voice, the girl was credited with an impressive amount of bravery as she jumped to her feet and ran, arms pumping fast to her side. No match, however, for the Crystal Gems. No sooner than she had her freedom was a rope wrapped around her, tripping her and causing her to roll and tumble onto the ground.

"Hah! Did'jya see that Pearl! Talk about a bulls-eye!"

"Amethyst, know that I don't normally support this concept of tying up children. However…" she gave a glance at the slightly overweight girl struggling on the ground, "…today will be an exception."

"Amethyst," Garnet came up behind them, carrying the other two henchmen of the group. "Get them too." With a shrug, the purple gem had roped up the two remaining children, grimacing lightly at their cries.

"Where in the stars name are the teachers of this school?" Pearl frowned, scanning the halls from where she stood. "This is just ridiculous! All these screaming children and still not one faculty member has shown up! I can't believe the irresponsibly of this -"

"HEY!" at seeing the three tied up children, the man's face paled at once. "W-what are you doing?" his voice went high pitch momentarily as he rushed to the crying children.

"We're teaching them a lesson," Garnet stated, watching as the man, now identified to be the principle, struggled at the ropes. "They hurt our boy, so we hurt them back."

"Well he punched me first!" the lead girl sobbed.

At discovering the ropes to be as hard as diamond, the principle stood tall and puffed out his chest. "Ma'am, release these children at once."

She seemed to think about it for a second. "No."

"Ma'am! I will not hesitate to call the police on you and your two companions. "Get rid of this strange rope this instant!"

*sobbing children in background*

"…no."

"…*rips out hair*…MA'AM!"

*crying of children rises in volume*

*discord in the hallways*

*glass shattering in the distance*

"…nope."

/END OF FLASHBACK/

"And now we're here!" Pearl smiled, clapping her hands together with a final conclusion. The room was deathly still, everyone's eyes on the slim gem. Finally, Amethyst was the first to speak.

"Um…Pearl, you kind of just confessed."

Her smile dropped, dread replacing the light of giddiness. "N-no! Wait! I…I didn't -"

"WELL," he cleared his throat loudly, clicking his pen in out. "As the evidence has been stated, I believe there is room for one reasonable and sensible punishment. For all of you."

The two smaller gems cringed, while the tallest remained stoic as always.

"For the three of you, you will all no longer be welcomed to the school."

Pearl snorted. "Oh, well that's perfectly fine," she chuckled, shooing him off with a hand.

"As for the young man, he will be expelled."

"WHAT!? Why you DISGUSTING little PIECE OF -"

"Pearl," Garnet cut in, resting a hand on the tensed gems shoulder. "Stop."

"Oh-ho ho ho NO!" she brushed the hand off easily. "I know these types of humans! They use their high power, so called 'influence' to see that their way is done! He doesn't like us! That's why he's using Steven's expulsion from the school as a way to infuriate us! Isn't that right sir?" Her last phrase was practically dripping with venom as she continued pointing an accusing finger at him.

"Now listen here Miss Persepho-"

"No! I don't want to hear your stupid excuses!"

"Enough Pearl."

Her mouth remained open, stopped in mid sentence. She slowly closed it, pulling her finger and hand back in and clenching them with a trembling amount of force. "Fine," she growled. "But first, let me show this human -"

"It's done Pearl," Garnet turned and made her way to the door, only pausing to glance back at both gems. "Let's go"

With a final splutter of anger, the pale Gem shot the man a stare filled with such a large amount of anger that couldn't help but feel threatened, sweat forming at the side of his temple. With her out from the room, it was just him and the purple gem. She gave him a devilish smile before slipping out from the room as well.

"…well," with the door shut at last. "Sure glad that's ovERAAAGH!"

At the sound of the man's scream in the background, Amethyst's smile only grew wider.

"What did you do Amehtyst?" Garnet sighed.

"What? Lil' ol me?" she giggled. "Oh I just tied his shoelaces together. Just a small prank y'know? He's not a very observant guy."

"Excellent work Amethyst!" Pearl admired, patting her on the back. "For once, you provocative skills have come in use to us!"

"Um…gee thanks Pearl."

"You're very welcome!"

"Sarcasm," she mumbled to the side.

"Gem's. Get ready." There gazes immediately snapped up, mentally preparing to break the news to Steven. As they exited the office area and made their way to the lobby room, Garnet couldn't help but deflate faintly at the lonely sight of the boy. Sitting on a wooden bench, he had an icepack held in his hand and pressed to his forehead. His other hand was clenched tightly, eyes closed as if waiting for the worst to come.

"H-hey Steven!" Amethyst called over, picking up her pace and going to sit next to him. "What up ma' man?"

"Hey Amethyst. I got expelled didn't I?"

Everyone became still. Smart boy this one was.

"S-Steven!" Pearl finally cried. "We're so sorry! If it hadn't have been for us, you wouldn't have -"

"No Pearl," he slid off from the bench and stood tall, looking up at them all with watery eyes. "It was mostly my fault. I did punch her first."

"B-B-BU-UT STE -"

"Steven," Garnet kneeled down to his level, putting a comforting hand on his shoulder. At the feeling of this, he immediately lowered his head and rushed into Garnet's torso unexpectedly, little sobs sniveling throughout his body as he wrapped his arms around her.

"I didn't mean to Garnet! Sh-she…that mean girl just w-wouldn't stop making fun of Connie! And –and I didn't know what to do so I –I just…"

"Hey," she calmly returned the embrace, stroking at his hair gently. "It's alright Steven. Just next time, be a little more careful," pulling him out at arms length and smiling lightly. "Alright?"

"O-*hic*-kay."

"Good, now les' get out of here."

He backed up, turning and leading the way towards the exit. Next to him, Pearl laid a hand on his head and smiled. "You were very brave Steven," she praised.

"Ya!" Amethyst came up to his other side. "Like, you're mom would've been so proud and all!"

"Really?" he squeaked, gazing at her in awe.

"Well duh! You were, like, protecting your girlfriend and all!"

"…girlfriend?"

"Amethyst!"

"What? He's going to learn it eventually…"

"Yes, but now is not the time to…"

Meanwhile, Steven had gone into his own world. Girl…friend? It doesn't make much sense but…he looked down at his clenched hand, opening it slowly. Revealed to him was a slip of paper with a number on it.

…definitely a friend.

And Rufina and Sally were forgotten ;D Eh, I'm sure he would've remembered them later on…

As for a continuation to the previous Rogue Steven AU chapter, I'm not exactly sure if I'll continue it. To be honest with you, I don't really know HOW to continue it. I also kinda like it where I stopped.
