Somewhere far from Beach City
A lonely road coming straight from Beach City seem to stretch for miles, both sides surrounded by an endless sea of grass that goes on forever. The colorful stars are twinkling in the beautiful night sky with a few clusters nearby, with the full moon out. Not a single building...not even a house can be seen anywhere other than a small gas station.
Then a pair of lights appeared over the horizon from one side of the road, headlights from a vehicle as it cruised down the empty road. It swished by. Followed by a stray of loose grass swaying in the air.
After moments later...another pair of headlights is seen over the horizon, much brighter than the other vehicle and bizarre looking, little hard to see in the darkness. But however..it was none other than..an RV that says UG on it. But who's driving it? A robot with a big head with a grin on his face that looks slouched down, small red cap with a coffee colored T-shirt that says "I Love Fun" is seen in the driver's seat. Whirring, robotic noises created whenever he turns his head.
Tiny Miracle is scanning the area of where could Uncle Grandpa and his friends could be since they had to escape the RV. The large vehicle has apparently survived the flaming impact and crashed landed perfectly on the wheels a few miles back...it was quite an experience for the robot. "Hmm I wonder where Uncle Grandpa and the others went? This place doesn't familiar to me..I guess I have to keep looking" He suggested,continuing down south as he sees nothing but the moonlit road and grass around it. There is a faint bright green color out in the field but Tiny Miracle somehow managed to ignore it. It was a quite a drive as the night dragged on, but the robot hasn't given up yet.
He caught a glimpse of a green sign that says "BEACH CITY" with a number 10 beside it. "Beach City? Never heard such a place" Tiny Miracle said, looking at the sign. Then out of nowhere..something stumbled out of the grass on two legs and it was surprised by the made Tiny Miracle put the RV on a screeching halt until it stop a few feet away from it. He took a good examination of this thing since the lights help. It has different shades of green, both regular and lime green parts and some black. Its a humanoid looking person with a feminine body with a roughed-up triangle shaped hair that reminds the robot boy of a nacho chip and its wearing something on its face and a round-edged triangle shaped thing on the forehead.
"What is that thing? A woman in a costume in this place?" He said to himself out loud, assuming it's a female due to its body type.
The humanoid is shielding her eyes from the intense light. "Well it looks like she's in trouble, I shall perhaps assist her!" Tiny Miracle dimmed the lights and then exit the driver's cab and out of the RV, using his three legs to stretch out of the entrance and walked in front of the to his helpful nature, he couldn't seem to help himself neither. He looked at the humanoid still standing in an awkwardly stance. "Hello ma'am..are you in need of assistance? he promptly asked, with his hands rotating. The humanoid's expression seems to be a surprised one as if she never seen a robot like this before.
"What an interesting machine...it can talk, move on three legs and able to function that large machinery" She thought, looking a gaped with mouth slightly hanging open "Where did it come from? Who created it...?"
"Ma'am?" Tiny Miracle asked which made her snap out of her thoughts "Still require assistance?" The humanoid walked forward, closer and closer until she only stood in front of him, looking down at him "As a matter of fact...I do" she spoke "I have been lost out here for quite some time and I was beginning to lose hope"
"You don't have to anymore..because I'm here!" Tiny Miracle retorted "Even though you haven't said Tiny Miracle!" The humanoid just looked at him "Uh what's a tiny miracle?" She bluntly asked.
"Not a tiny miracle...that's my name!" Tiny Miracle explained "I like to help out everyone of all kind!"
"Strange label for a mere weak-looking robot...but then again it likes to assist and then maybe what other choice do I have? I can get this "Tiny Miracle" to assist me to take down those inferior traitorous Gems, find Jasper and that blue watery brat and leave this useless chunk of rock!" She grinned
"So what's your name ma'am?" Tiny Miracle politely asked "And are you wearing a costume?"
The Gem's grin is replace by a frown,crossing her arms "The name's Peridot" Raising an eyebrow "No, this is not a costume..this is my outfit from the Diamond Authority in my Homeworld"
"Well nice to meet you Peridot! Come on let me give you a lift" Tiny Miracle turned around, motioning her to come along in which she did. The sound of clunking emerged from her feet.
The main door inside opened with Tiny Miracle stretched his legs inside, followed by Peridot who has a mixed of amazement and shock. The RV is much larger in the inside than it is outside as she sees the living room, kitchen, plants, a hand couch and other stuff in there. "How is this possible? The interior is much larger...where did this come from?" She glanced around
"Welcome to the UG RV Peridot!" Tiny Miracle said. This caught the Gem's attention "The..what?" she wondered
"The Uncle Grandpa Recreational Vehicle! I'll show you around!" Tiny Miracle walked off, while Peridot walked with hesitation "Uncle Grandpa...?" she asked
The movie ended about an hour ago. Steven,Pizza Steve,Giant Flying Tiger are asleep. Lion who showed up earlier, quickly got associated and introduced to the UG crew by Steven, fell asleep beside the bed on the floor. The only light and noise of static is from the television. Uncle Grandpa and Mister Gus are still barely awake, their eyes are very droopy, and area around them is darken a bit. Mister Gus yawned "Well that was a pretty cool movie...and I'm pretty tired" He groggily looks at his good friend. Uncle Grandpa also yawned, smacking his lips.
"Yep, me too" Mister Gus looks back at the static screen for a minute "Well, I'm going down to the kitchen to get some water you want some to-" The green dinosaur realized he's gone when he turned his head. He looked over the ledge and saw Uncle Grandpa already, sitting at the counter in front of the sink,drinking a glass of water
"Way ahead of ya Mister Gus" He said which made the dinosaur chuckled, getting up and going downstairs.
In a matter of minutes, Uncle Grandpa and Mister Gus are snickering and trying not to laugh out loud as they were talking about Mister Gus' numbskull cousin Nathan from Florida. "The funniest thing he did was making a cotton candy beard and said "cotton candy beard y'all" in a country accent" finished Uncle Grandpa as he snickered again.
"Man..yep that's Nathan alright heh heh" Mister Gus chuckled
"Hey guys" A female voice is heard, making the man and dinosaur turned their attention to the source..there she stood. It was Amethyst, having a smirk and her arms on her waist looking at them. "Good morning" Uncle Grandpa greeted
"Hey Amethyst...its quite late aren't you tired?" Mister Gus assumed. Amethyst nodded her head "Nah, I don't get tired at all during the night because Gems don't need to sleep" she said
"That's pretty interesting" Uncle Grandpa commented
"Yeah, so what are you two up to?" Amethyst came to the counter, and sat on the edge on it "Planning anything fun?" She has an interested look
"Not at this time, me and Uncle G are just done talking about my cousin Nathan who visited us a while back" Mister Gus said
"And boy you should've seen him...crazy and very funny guy I'll tell ya" Uncle Grandpa added
"What did he do?"
"He got hit in the head by a ride, hit in the head by a hammer, stuck some stuff into his nose and made a cotton candy beard" Uncle Grandpa answered
Amethyst laughed "Sounds like the kind of stuff I would do..only if Pearl and Garnet wasn't around"
The man and the dinosaur gave a look. "Well anyway...where did you guys come from? You have a home?" The Gem asked, overlapping her leg over the other but soon as she asked that, Uncle Grandpa suddenly appeared beside her "Since me, Mister Gus, Tiger, Pizza Steve and Belly Bag been riding around in our RV for a long while, we kinda forgot where all of us originally came from..maybe except for Mister Gus"
"Our RV is also our home" Mister Gus chimed in "But we lost it while we traveled here...and we're hoping if you can help us find it so we can get back home" He offered
Amethyst looks a bit confused "What does this RV looks like?"
"Like this" Uncle Grandpa reached into Belly Bag, took out a photo and handed it to her. Which she looked over, which happens to be their RV. She was even more confused cause of how strange it looks with a bunch of items on it like the head of a zebra on the front end. "Okay then...what a weird looking RV" She stuffed the photo in her pocket.
"So Amethyst what was that about Gems not needing to sleep?" Mister Gus asked
"Oh yeah, it's true Gems don't need to sleep or eat, and we don't age either but we can still get hurt...and die" The lavender Gem explained
"How long you, Pearl and Garnet been here?" Uncle Grandpa wondered
"About more than 5,000 years we been living on this planet"
"Heh you're still much younger than me" Mister Gus said. Amethyst looked at him funny yet surprised "Much younger than you? How so?"
"I'm a dinosaur...I've been around for millions of years back in our world and I know all of the events that happen throughout history..well almost and I even hanged out with Uncle Grandpa's ancestor" She was stunned. A living thing much older than her? His body doesn't appear to be an illusion like hers.
"That's pretty interesting I suppose" She hesitated
"What about Stevie Boy-wonder here?" Uncle Grandpa stretched his arms, snaked its way to Steven and pointed at him. She still wants to know how is he doing that. "Steven is half gem-half human, I don't think he can live as long as us"
Mister Gus suddenly yawned "It's getting late and I'm going to lay down"
"Yeah me too..nighty-night" Uncle Grandpa activated his propeller and flew to the couch and started sleeping
"Well good night Amethyst..we'll see you when the sun comes up" He got up and laid down on the couch. Amethyst watched them fell asleep, baffled what the green dinosaur said. She hopped off the counter and went to the door..before she entered. She looked back "Good night guys" and entered her room.
She traveled around the piles of junk until she eventually found Garnet and Pearl standing in an open area. She's still a bit upset when Garnet was destroying her things when they were looking for the Slinker. "Hey guys" she spoke first
"How was the talk with Uncle Grandpa and them?" Garnet asked
"It was kinda interesting..they're still odd though but that green dude..Mister Gus is older than us" This made Pearl and Garnet gasped silently "Older than us?" Pearl asked
"Yep, he's been around for millions of years, he's the oldest living thing in his universe"
"That means that..."Pearl started with her hand over her mouth, looking very worried
"Mister Gus is older than all of us combined" The deep blue, orchid colored Gem finished for her
"Is it possible that Mister Gus may know about Rose,Homeworld, us and our culture?" Pearl half-yelled at Garnet
"Most unlikely..he and his friends are from a different universe they've probably never heard of us"
"Okay..if you say so" This calmed the bird Gem down "I'm still not sure about it
"So what we were gonna do about them now?" Amethyst butted in
The Gems all have pondering thoughts, with hands on their chins. "We're going to train them tomorrow morning" Pearl spoke up
"How are you gonna do that "Miss Perfect?" Amethyst teased which irritated her, but she shook it off
Pearl answered in an nonchalant tone "You'll see"
"That ends the tour of the RV Peridot..how are you liking it so far?" Tiny Miracle asked a slightly creeped out Homeworld Gem as they both left the elevator. "It was... fascinating" Peridot strained to say that word but Tiny Miracle brushed that aside
"Good! Now if you excuse me, I'm going to make some microchip subs" He walked away to the kitchen and began making the sandwiches. Peridot sees this as a perfect time to put her plan into action during the tour. She grinned, took out her weapon and sneak on Tiny Miracle and shocked him as soon he was about to take a bite of the sandwich. Slurred, glitchy noises were heard from the robot, smoke was coming out of his head and fell to the ground.
Peridot separated her fingers to form a small holographic screen and begin to speak in it "Homeworld, come in Homeworld this is Peridot..I have to seem to discover a robot that's able to function a much larger machine and I will begin a much closer examination..Peridot out" She brought her fingers back together and she spotted a curtain, she narrowed her eyes "Hmm..." She went to the curtain and went in. She was in the driver area which she looked around, she then managed to get in the driver's seat, gripping on the steering wheel. But she was lost of how to make the RV accelerate "Now how to make this go?" she examined on what to press.
She stomped on the gas pedal by accident, and off she go. A portal came out of nowhere in front of her, showing a street and a bunch of houses and she went in it.
That was chapter four! How was it? Good? Okay? Great? let me know in the reviews! Wonder where Peridot and Tiny Miracle end up? Who knows? What does Pearl have in mind to train Uncle Grandpa and his friends? Find out in the next chapter!
