Beach city, a place, that other city envied a lot. The city offered few things, but the peace the few citizens of the city lived in was something others craved for, little did they know that this small town was a magnet for disasters, ranging from giant monsters that spit acid or flying robotic head that shoots fire and ice and giant worms and many more. Luckily, this city has the crystal gems to defend it but not today. The 15 of August is a special day for Nora universe who really enjoyed celebrating her birthday with her family and friends, her morning went smoothly as she woke up to see amethyst waiting for her.

"So what do you want to do girl, I'm free this morning so we can do whatever you want." Said the purple quartz

"Well, I was thinking about handing some invitations to Sour cream

And Buck and Jenny, Kiki and the others so care to come with me?"

"Pass, that sounds boring"

"Oh come on Amethyst, there will be free donuts if you come with me." Said the demi gem with a smile on her face.

"I will accept your bribe, this donut better be good or this gem will unleash her pranking demon on you," the purple gem said spreading her arms trying to look big

"Bring it on Amethyst; I still have few tricks that I haven't shown you from the last time," Nora said and then started laughing which made Amethyst laugh too and when they were about to leave Garnet showed up only to get a flying hug from the 14-year-old Nora.

"How is our birthday girl?" Asked the leader of the crystal gems, returning the hug with a warm smile, to her, Nora meant everything.

"I feel great, now I'm going to hand my birthday invitations with Amethyst." Answered the little girl

"The donut bribe always works." Said the fusion while chuckling a bit

"What can I say, a donut is my kryptonite and I can resist it."

"Well, I will leave you two do whatever you want. I have to get my present ready." Said the fusion

"OH, can I know what it is?" Asked the demi gem, hoping that Garnet would tell her

"I'm sorry Nora but I can't tell you. You will know when the time comes." Said the fusion while patting the girl on the shoulder

"But I want to know, please," Nora said while giving the fusion a cute puppy face.

"Oh no Nora, those puppy eyes won't work on me this time. You will know when it is time to eat the cake that Pearl is making for you."

"Pearl is making me a cake, sweet because her cakes are the best," Nora said while heading with Amethyst to the door holding a pack of envelopes in her hands.

The duo first stop was at the donut shop, to buy Amethyst her bribe and invite Sadie and Lars to her birthday. Lars upon seeing the kid with a pink envelope in her hand frowned; he did not understand why she never gives up trying to be his friend and while Sadie liked her, he did not, her always-happy attitude made him feel uncomfortable every time he meets her.

"Hi Nora," Sadie said smiling at the demi gem

"Hi Sadie" the small girl replied "Give Amethyst two extra deluxe chocolate donuts with sprinkles on me" The girl said "Oh wait Sadie, here is an invitation to my birthday," Nora said, while handing the blond donut shop worker one of her pink envelopes

"That's so sweet of you," Sadie said while handing Amethyst the donuts just for the purple gem to devour it like she never ate before.

"Oh laaaaaaaaaaarrrss" She called out to the 18-year-old

"What do you want, you little weirdo" Lars said only to be poked by his coworker to knock it off "what do you want" he hissed just to be hit in the back of his head as a second warning from Sadie. The small girl handed him another envelope

"Why should I go to your party, it's probably going to be lame," Lars said while holding the envelope as if he was holding something horrible.

"Everyone will be there, Buck and Jenny and Sour cream will be there so does everyone I know and will be there too," Nora said

"I will be there if the cool kids are there too." He said and after that, the gem duo left for the abandoned warehouse where they found a trio consisting of Buck Dewey, Sour Cream and Jenny Pizza gathering Sour Cream D j equipment from his practice round. After quickly handing out all of the invitations, Nora went back to the beach house in order to get ready for her birthday.

At the barn

Everything was ready to go, all the people Nora invited came to her party, which made her extremely happy. Conner Maheswaran, Nora best friend helped set everything in place and with the help of the crystal gems, her birthday was perfect. She was happy, could not ask for anything more.

"Alright shtoo-ball, give your old man a hug," Greg said giving his daughter a big hug

"Daaaad, come on put me down so we can go eat the cake."

"Sorry Nora, but I can't help it. Yesterday you were just a baby and now you're turning 15, I can't help but give you a big hug." The bald father said with tears of joy streaming down his face

"I love you too dad, now if you excuse me I want to see if period and lapis are enjoying the party." The demi gem said

While everyone was enjoying the party, a loud sound echoed through the sky above them, every party guest looked up, trying to figure out what just happened only to see an object falling toward them at a great speed.

"Gems take the humans to safety; I will take care of the threat." The leader of the crystal gems said but it was too late for that. The falling object crashed near the barn with so much force that it caused a huge crater on the ground.

Nora's curiosity took the best of her, she went, and she went to check what crashed into her party.

"Garnet, come check this out. It's an escape pod."

"Don't touch it," she shouted, startling the girl.

When Garnet neared her and the escape pod, she felt something inside it, something so pure and innocent that nearly made her drop her guard down. The fusion extended her hand to touch the pod; to her surprise, the machine released a hissing sound and started opening its upper half, Amethyst Along with Pearl, Peridot and Lapis came near Garnet. Curious to see what's inside the pod, they all leaned in to get a better look and what they saw shocked them so much that the only thing they were able to do is just stare at the content of the fallen pod.

Well that was fast. This chapter was fun to write, the idea of this story came to me when that retarded kid leaked lion 4 alternate ending on you tube. Anyway, the fun will begin next chapter. Hope you enjoyed reading this.

Goodbye and have a nice day

Nova quartz out.
