This is set a little before Earthlings.
Steven woke up thinking he had heard someone talking; the voice was soothing but it was scared. It was more like thoughts than actual talking to him. He threw his covers off of him and headed downstairs to the screen door. Look outside and someone sitting in the shallow water while the waves washed up on them but there was no movement from them. Lion was sitting on the porch not caring about the presence of the person in the ocean.
Steven walked down the stairs creeping slowly making sure he didn't startle the person. He wasn't sure if it was a person or a gem sitting there but the person had light pale blue blue it almost looked white. Steven stopped at the water's edge staring. The thoughts had stopped once he stepped outside and it had to be coming from her.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
The person turned around and she was most definitely a gem.
"Oh you're a gem!" Steven said and she jumped up looking scared.
"I mean no harm! Don't! I won't go to your Homeworld! I'm not from there!" she cried.
Steven looked shocked unsure why she would say something like that.
"No! I'm not from Homeworld either. My name is Steven Universe. I'm half gem and half human. I'm from Earth."
The gem frowned, "You are a hybrid?"
"Yea!"
Steven smiled at her. She tilted her head to the side studying him. She had pale blue skin that was a lighter than Lapis' skin and there were some purple splotches on the right side of her face and right leg. Her gem was an upside down tear drop like shape when purple and blue mixed together. Her arms and hands were black but it had to be her clothes as it reached all the way down to her knees and she wore a cerulean colored dress with a diamond shaped cut out with her gem in the middle. To Steven her eyes were the most interesting part s they were purple faded to blue.
"What kind of gem are you?" he asked sitting next to her in the cold ocean water.
"I really don't know. Someone had told me I was an amethyst but I'm not sure."
"Oh... well you don't look like the Amethyst I know but you could. Do you have a name?" he asked nicely smiling.
"No... I don't know."
"Well since we think you're an amethyst we can call you Amy since there is already an Amethyst."
"Amy."
"You like it?" he asked.
"Yes. Thank you Steven. What's a human?" Amy asked looking at him curiosity.
"It's a species on this planet. Its the only one that can talk besides the gems that live with me. They live with me and we are called the 'Crystal Gems'! We keep this planet safe from Homeworld. My Mom helped them too at one point until she gave up her physical form to have me."
"Crystal Gems? Are those new types of gems?" Amy asked.
"No, just the team's name. We all wear stars too!" he cried standing up.
"STEVEN! WHERE ARE YOU!?" it was Pearl yelling for him.
"That's Pearl! Would you like to meet everyone?" Steven asked.
Amy looked hesitant but nodded anyways.
"Let's go!" he cried grabbing her black hand and pulling her to her feet.
"Garnet! Amethyst! Come out here!" Pearl yelled as she saw Steven was dragging a new gem up to the house.
"What's wrong Pear- oh who's that?!" Amethyst yelled and Amy flinched.
"Amethyst be nice! She's an amethyst too!" Steven said defending the petrified gem.
Garnet came outside staring at the gem, "Are you a fusion?" she asked.
"What is a 'fusion'?" Amy asked looking confused.
The trio looked at each other.
"Maybe she's like Jasper! Like how she has tiger stripes," Steven said.
"You're an amethyst? I figured you'd have more purple on you than that," Pearl said staring at her.
Amy ducked down behind Steven but it didn't help much considering she was a little taller than Pearl. Amy was visibly shaken by all the new things going on. Steven patted her hand that was on his shoulder trying to reassure her that everything was going to be ok. Steven turned around and took her hand.
"Let's go inside Amy. I'm really cold and I need dry clothes."
"Um... what is this? A shelter of some kind?" Amy asked looking up.
"It's my house. We can talk inside. You just sit on the couch and everything will be ok."
Amy's eyes widened at everything on the inside. It was all new things she had never seen before. Steven led her to the couch and she sat down touching the fabric amazed by how soft it was. She sat back loving how she sank into the cushions. It was reassuring and she liked it but what she didn't like was the way the Crystals Gems were looking at her.
"Amy can we ask you some questions?" Garnet asked.
"Sure but you have to promise not to take to the Homeworld. I don't what it is but it was scary and I was dragged there against my will," she whispered.
"You aren't from Homeworld? What planet are you from?" Pearl asked looking scared.
"It would be better if you just told us what happened and how you got here," Garnet said smiling calming down the blue gem.
"O-ok."
"Yay! Story time!" Steven cried jumping onto the couch.
Amy smiled and fidgeted with her blue dress before she started.
"I just remember waking up. I was in some kind of storm and everything. I just remember it was green, orange and a dark blue color and I was alone. It was like I woke up out of nothing. I know I have been alive for a very long time... There were many storms on my planet... sometimes it would be really bad and I would disappear sometimes but I would reform when I felt it was safe.
"After it took some time to predict the storms I managed to stay ok for a while... There would be some light from a passing comet sometimes but it was pretty dim there. I remember suddenly there were bright light and I heard voices. Something about collecting the gases for more gems but I had no idea what that meant. They were there for a while and I did my best to hide."
Amy looked nervous and her beautiful eyes began tearing up.
"They found me and forced me on a metal thing they called a ship. There were many gems there but I remember one who was bigger than the rest. They kept calling her Pink Diamond. She was very pretty and she seemed knowledgeable. She wasn't forceful like the rest and she was very nice to me. She told me I was different but I just wanted to go home. I loved my planet.
"They were having problems with a weird looking creature. It strange looking and it had many hands but no face. She looked bothered by it and something about... it just stuck together... They were stuck together and they were shattered. It exploded into a cloud and something shiny fell onto the ground. Pink Diamond ordered they to crush it and they did.
"We reached a place with lots of other gems. It was nice kind of. There were all different ones and Pink Diamond asked me what I was but I had no idea. She told me I looked like a amethyst but like a sapphire too. I didn't know any better. She told me things would be ok and then all the sudden they took me away. She looked really upset that they had taken me away."
Amy covered her face and cried softly. Steven patted her back and she looked at him trying to smile.
"They asked what weapons I had and I didn't even know what that was. They said I was made on that planet and that I was special but the Diamonds were afraid of me. They brought someone with a weapon as they called it and they had it placed over my chest when she stopped them. She said destroying me would be the wrong thing to do. When I realized what they were going to do I... I got scared.
"I fought many of the gems in the room but I made sure not to break any of them. I don't know why she helped me escape but she did. She did ask me to come back sometime to help her and that she may not be the same like she was but I could help her. When I escaped the Homeworld... I used the rock in space to launch me away from there because I didn't know what else to do."
"Pink Diamond," Steven said looking at the Crystal Gems and they looked shocked by Amy's story.
"It took me a long time to get here. I remember seeing a lot of ships going back and fourth but I stayed hidden in the rocks and dust of space. Things looked like they have changed since I had first left but I couldn't tell you how. I entered the atmosphere here a couple days ago and I landed in the water you have there. I didn't know anything of this planet and I'm sorry for crashing in. I wanted to see if I could make it back to the Homeworld when I go strong enough to save Pink Diamond but I am not strong."
"Pink Diamond has been destroyed," Garnet said and Amy started to cry more.
"It's ok Amy! Things will be ok and you can stay here!" Steven said holding her hand patting it gently.
"Things won't be ok because I couldn't help the person who made sure I was ok!" she cried.
"Steven make sure she gets some rest. We'll be back as we have an important mission to go on," Garnet said and Pearl stood up.
"Come get us if you need us. We are going to the Kindergarten to check some things out."
"Bye Steven!"Amethyst said as they jumped on the warp pad and disappeared.

"What are we going to do?" Pearl asked.
"We can let her stay but if she finds out the truth about Pink Diamond she may try and hurt Steven," Garnet said looking at the broken injectors.
"I think she'll be ok. We can give her a chance can't we?" Amethyst asked.
"I don't think that would be wise," Pearl said looking uncomfortable.
"She seems more lost and confused than angry Pink Diamond was shattered. I wonder why Pink Diamond would want to save an alien gem? Maybe there is more to this than we thought."
"Garnet are questioning Rose's decisions?!" Pearl yelled and Garnet shook her head.
"Maybe there's more than what Rose knew too."
Amethyst looked lost just like Amy did.
"Can she stay around? I like the idea of having an amethyst around."
Garnet smiled and nodded, "We are going to let her stay. If Pink Diamond thought she was worth saving then we have to keep her from being recaptured."
"I agree."
"With Steven's help maybe she'll be able to tell us more," Amethyst said smiling.

"Sleeping is weird looking Steven," Amy said smiling at him sadly.
"It makes me feel better sometimes. Come and try it; it will be like a sleepover!" Steven cried jumping up.
Amy followed Steven up to his bed and he clicked on his TV. The sudden light and sound scared her enough for her to scream cracking the windows. Steven shut it off as fast as he could as she dove under the covers trying to protect herself. Steven lifted the covers to see she was badly shaken.
"Why did you let them in here?!" she whispered frantically
"No, they aren't here. That's a TV. It has images and sounds. It's what we humans use for entertainment when we're bored."
"Oh..."
"Come out from underneath and we can watch it. Would you like that?" he asked smiling.
"Maybe..."
"Hey Steven," Amethyst called.
"You wanna come to the sleepover Amethyst?! I'm teaching Amy how to do it!"
"Sure!" she cried running up the stairs to join them.

Jasper sat in the middle of the Beta Kindergarten staring at the corrupted gem monsters she had spent time catching. It seemed to her they weren't going to be enough to take down those traitors but she couldn't be sure. They roared and fussed, biting on the bars but they couldn't get out. She was disgusted by them all.
"You things are filthy pieces of shit. After I beat Rose Quartz I'll be sure to destroy every single one of you."
She sat down in the middle of the cages and put her face in her hands. My diamond... Pink Diamond. I will avenge you.
