It was another avage morning in Beach City. Thomas was still considering what to do about the staff of Beach City station. However his thoughts were interpreted by the sound of a phone. It was Steven's, so he quickly picked it up and said "Hello."
There was a sound of constitution, and an all too familiar scotish voice telling them to stop. "Steven!" Blue Diamond then said "Uh hey, Blue." Steven said a little nervously "Sorry about that, there's still a lot of constitution of New Homeworld still going on. Not a lot of quiet places."
"I understand." Steven said "Anyways, can you put your mother on the phone?" Blue Diamond asked Steven to look at Rose next to her "Um, sure. Give me a second." And he turned to Rose "It's Blue, she wants to talk to you."
"Well I don't want to talk to her." Was all Rose said. This led to an argument that soon involved the entire room and eventually led to Rose picking up the phone. Rose sighed heavily before saying "Hello Blue." in the most passive aggressive way possible.
"Hello Pink, oh I mean Rose!" Blue Diamond said before nervously chuckling. It had been a genuine mistake, but to Rose It was as if was insulting her. "What do you want, Blue?" Was all she said.
"Well you remember the Human Zoo we made you?" Blue Diamond asked "You mean the one you built for me instead of listening to my wishes of leaving earth alone?" Rose asked, the passive aggressive tone becoming more and more regular aggressive.
There was a silence for a moment "Right… well after Tobies… eh… attack we decided to decommission it." "You What!?" Rose ask yelled "Don't worry, all the humans and gems are safe and sound." That revived Rose at least.
"That's the main reason I asked, well that and I still miss you…" This cough Rose by surprise. Was she really that caught up over her, she would have figured Blue and the rest of the Diamonds would have given up on her at this point. Maybe… Maybe…
"Anyway." Blue Diamond continued, pushing Rose back into reality. "After a lot of consideration, we've decided to bring them all to you." That cough Rose by surprise once again "I see… When are they coming?"
"Uh later today..." Blue Diamond trained "WHAT!?" Rose shouted, even louder than before "I know-I Know." Blue Diamond said "But we've been so busy and Yellow and Orange didn't even want to give you a warning." That didn't surprise Rose, at least from Yellow. She didn't know the other side of her family very well.
"Alright" Rose said "I'd better tell Thomas and get everything arranged." "Alright then." Blue Diamond said "One last thing before I leave you to it." And there it was, the killing blow "I love you."
Rose wasn't sure what to say for five seconds. But considering what Blue Diamond said before appears to be genuine, it wasn't hard to know what to say. "I love you too." Rose heard Blue Diamond gasp, before the call ended and Rose put down the phone.
When she looked back up, she saw everyone looking at her with various looks. Percy and Steven gave a 'aw' face, Thomas, Gordon and Edward gave a reassuring look, Edward and Henry gave a confusing look and Toby, Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl gave disgusting looks.
"Soo…" Rose trailed off before explaining the situation, which led to mixed feelings. "I didn't wreck the Zoo that much." Toby said defensively "I know blow up byond repard space stuff when I see it."
"Yes," James began "But we mustn't forget that Homeworld is rebuilding after an invasion. It is probably a better use of resources to scrap it rather than to fix a base with no strategic advantage." The others had to agree with James, he was usually right about Homeworld pnce being a lawyer for it.
"I just thought of something." Percy said suddenly "If all of the zoo inhaptace are coming, that includes the Rose Quartz's." That caught everyone by surprise, they wanted to tell Percy that that was impossible. But a look of realisation soon crossed everyone's face.
Suddenly the room began to shake, not hard but softly and just really the plates and silverware. Thomas looked outside and soom everyone joined him to see a train coming down the line.
It was eight sodor express coaches, four red in the back and four green in the front. In front of the train were two black 0-6-0 tender engines. The train stopped at Beach city station and the two engines looked around confused.
"So what do we…" Rose began to ask Thomas, but stopped when he realised he wasnt there. She then turned back to the window to see Thomas in train mode puffing torages the train.
The two engines sat the platform, waiting for… well something. Each had a pain of name plates on their sides, the one in the back name plates said Donald and the one on the front said Douglas. "Oi, Douggie." Donald said "Where is everyone?"
"Eh don't know, Donnie." Douglas said looking around and spotting no one. The reason was because everyone was hiding, after hearing the sound of Donald and Douglas arriving there was slight. Of course the main reason was because it was still early.
"Maybe it's still early?" Donald sagestided. "Maybe…" Douglas trailed off and did one last sweep of the area. He spotted a blue tank engine puffing torages then "Oh the big man's coming." Douglas said.
"Hi there." The tank engine said when he stopped in front of the two "I'm Thomas, im-" "The Diamond in charge" Donald said "We know." "Only temporarily, but yes." Thomas said before continuing with "I'm glad one side got some heads one."
"How bad?" Douglas asked "Less than five minuts ago." Thomas answered. Donald rolled his eyes "Figures." "Anyways." Thomas continues "You can let them out now." The two did the engine equivalent of nodding and all the doors on the coaches.
Out came the Amethyst and Rose Quartz's. They began playing in the said or just paying in it and generally causing a ruckus. Then came some stragglers who were norvis, but eventually came and joined the shindig.
Then came the Zoomans, who carefully came off the train and to the platform. And finally fell out a very tired, disheveled looking Holly Blue Agate. Thomas' smile grew through all of this, and he couldn't help but naught when he saw the state of Holly Blue Agate.
He then heard the sound of puffing and saw Timothy pulled up, with Steven and Rose in tow. "Wy-Six!" Steven said running over to the Zoomans. "Steven!" the leading Zooman said and the two joined and the two began to chat.
Rose walked slowly behind, not sure what to do or say. She decided to stand back and look around. She couldn't help but smile when she saw all the Quartz's having fun on the beach. However there was one Rose Quartz just standing there.
She turned to look at her, revealing her gem position, It was the exact same as her. Rose then quickly looked away.
"Look, Douggie." Said Donald, catching Rose's attention "It's Pink Diamond!" "Hold ya weesh!" Said Douglas "She prefers to go by Rose!" He then turned to Rose "Sorry about that ma'am." He began "My brother speaks before he thinks."
"It's fine." Rose said "I meant no disrespect." Donald defended "I was going to say there's Pink Diamond the hero." That cought Rose "Well I don't know about that-" "Don't be so modest." Donald said, interrupting Rose.
"A ruler who wanted a better life for her people and fought for their freedom. Yours a tr6e daughter for Scotland if i ever seen one." By then time Donal finished, Rose was blushing a deep shade of pink and smiled.
"Well... thank you." She trailed off "Anyways." Thomas said before turning into gem mode, Timothy soon did the same "I have to make an announcement." He then turned to Timothy "You have the megaphone" Timothy smiled and pulled out a red an white electronic megaphone.
"Perfect," Thomas said and started walking to Holly Blue Agate, who was still laying in the sand. She moved her eyes when he saw Thomas moving torages her and winsted when she saw hus hand coming closer.
She opened her eyes and saw that Thomas was holding out his hand. Holly Blue Agate accepted and was helped up by Thomas "You know." She began while dusting herself off "If I knew I was training a Diamond, would have treated you nicer."
"No you wouldn't have." Thomas said blunty "Don't lie to me." And he began to walk away. Holly Blue Agate followed and standed to Thomas' left when he stopped in front of the quartz's. Timothy, Rose and Steven soon followed.
Thomas began to jess with the megaphone causing the Quartz's to notice him. "Ah yes, hello!" Thomas said though the megaphone "My name is Thomas and in charge here. Now we didn't get too much heads up about your arrival so we don't have your homes ready, so you have to stay on the beach for a while. And there's also a few rules you need to follow.
All the Amethyst's grone "I know-I know." Thomas said "But there for your safety I assure you you." and he began to say the rules "1. Don't leave the beach 2. Don't break anything. That is all" And with that he turned off the megaphone and turned to Steven.
"Take the Zooman to get some new clothes." He said, Steven nodded and returned to the Zoomans. Thomas followed to talk to Donald and Douglas. "You two must be tired." He said "There's a shed that should be safifiant."
"Aye, Alright" Douglas said "Lead the way!" Donald said and the three puffed. Thomas then began thinking Gem Town, how many new houses then need to make in day and many ogher thoughts.
He then shook the thoughts off and mumbled "I sure everything will be fine..."
"Everything will not be fine!" Peridot shouted. She was talking to Duck, who was in train mode at Gem Town station. "There's no way we can get more than two hundred houses in a day." Duck couldn't help but chuckle at Peridots panicking.
"And who says we need to have them today?" He asked "We can get them in two or three."" "Yes but…" Peridot trailed when she saw Duck puffing away "That can't be…" he muttered when he saw Thomas puffing with Donald and Douglas on either side.
"Well I'll be." Duck said, catching the three's attention, "Donald and Douglas!" "Oi, Duck!" Donald said "Lang time na see!" Douglas added. "I'd say the same to you." Duck chucked before asking "Where have you two been?"
"In storage." Both twins said at the same time "Wance th' gem-engine project fell though thay hud na uise fur us 'n' we wur pat thare." Donald explained "As well as young ollie, bit he escaped. We haven't seen him since."
"Well a shame." Duck said "I like to have another great weastener around here." "He paused "Aw well, just glad to have you two." "Aye, 'n' we're glad tae be 'ere.." Douglas said "Now we're off to the sheds for a rest."
The twins did the engine equivalent of nodding and headed to the shed at the far left of the yard. Thomas meanwhile headed back to Beach City to make sure everything was alright. He was still the leading Diamond, so if anything bad happened, he would be responsible.
When he arrived, Steven was there with the Zoomans now wearing regular human choaths. "Hey uncle that." Steven said "I told the Zoomans about the station needing staff, and they want to work on it."
"Oh?" Thomas said, raising an eyebrow. Really he would take them right away, but it's alway good to play hard to get. Wy-Six coughted to clear his throat. "Yes we need a job and a home maybe, since you are offering?"
"Well…" Thoman said before pausing impressively "Will you work hard?" he asked, the Zoomans nodded. "Will you be friendly?" The Zoomans once again nodded "Well then alright."
The Zooman cheared and Thomas just smirked. And this everyone had their place. The Amethyst houses were completed in a week and the Zoomans moved in a set of new houses next to the station. And everything was fine for the most part, except for a few things. But that is a story for another day.
