Bubble Buddies
A/N this is the last episode I'm doing in order, at least purposefully, you can safely assume that Soren is similar enough to Steven that if I don't mention anything different, it isn't. He's just a little angrier. Jasper is still very much like Amethyst, but neater, she still likes food, but normal stuff, and shape shifting. everyone else is the exact same until told otherwise, so I'm just going to do episodes that are major changes. like the plant ones, Citrine has a different animation power.*
Soren was trying to get his bike down the beach house stairs when it fell. it landed in front of the gems as they came up the beach discussing the recent tremors. determining that they weren't natural earthquakes, they started to make a plan for finding the monster responsible. Soren walked down the stairs and picked his bike up and continued passed his three guardians, to the other side of the beach. He saw a girl sitting in the sand and walked towards her attempting to talk to her. feeling embarrassed that he couldn't find his words, he ran back to the beach house.
The gems greeted him at the door and questioned him on who the girl was, Pearl even going so far as to start planning a play date. Garnet stopped that train of thought, along with Jasper's light-hearted teasing about the perceived crush the boy had. Soren grabbed a glow bracelet from the freezer and went to leave again, telling the gems to not watch, as it made him nervous.
Trying again, Soren went up to the girl, practicing his introduction over and over. when he reached her, another tremor occurred, breaking off a peice of the temple statue that was falling directly at the girl. Soren pushed her out of the way and surrounded them with a sunny colored bubble that sprang up in a flash like the last glow of a sunset. After the rubble fell on the bubble and bounce harmlessly off, Soren introduced himself, and the girl replied with her name, Connie.
The kids talked for a moment and when Soren couldn't dissipate the bubble they set off into town to look for help.
Nothing helped, and they found themselves at the bottom of the ocean after trying to pop the bubble with a roller coaster. After Connie vented for awhile about possibly drowning, Soren took action and started rolling the bubble towards shore, passing an orange translucent humanoid jellyfish looking monster. The monster spotted the glowing bracelet, it's soft light being amplified by the bright yellow bubble, and started swimming towards them. The kids could see the shoreline through the water when the bubble popped and they had to start swimming. Once on shore, the orange monster ran straight for Connie and her bracelet until Soren's hands started sparking with electricity. His light being brighter, was more appealing. Soren ran around the monster until it was obvious it was dizzy, and went to push it over. But as soon as the sparks from his hands touched the creature near the gem, it poofed. The Gems found him and he calmed down, Connie gushed about how he saved her life... twice. Pearl started to dominate the conversation before Garnet pulled her away. Connie left to go home, and the gems lead Soren back to the house after bubbling the gem and sending it on ahead of them.
