Young Greg hopped over the fence and into the snow, hoping to find his soon to be wife Rose Quartz. "Uh Rose you here?" He called out. Bright lights shown out from the front of the temple. He ran over to the entrance, and was surprised at what he saw;
Christmas lights, Wrapping paper, and a large and very messy Christmas tree. The large pink gem turned around and gave him a warm smile.
"Hello Greg. How do you like it?" She said proudly.
"Um..." he gulped. "It's very nice but.. it's not all exactly put together right.." He said hoping he wouldn't hurt her feelings.
Rose pouted. "Awwww Greg but Garnet and i researched this human holiday and i thought this was correct... Guess a gem can't understand the meaning of this so called christmas.." She crossed her arms. Greg waved his hands. "A-Ah no! I never said it was bad it looks great! I just think you need to fix the lights and the Christmas tree, and maybe learn some christmas traditions."
Garnet set down a box full of ornaments. "Perhaps you could teach us a few things about this holiday you humans celebrate to help us better understand it hmm?" She said in her soft, low accent.
Greg snapped his fingers. "Oh yeah! I can teach you guys all there is to know about Christmas!" He exlaimed.
Rose smiled and clapped her hands. "Ooo yay teach us them!"
Pearl warped inside the temple carrying a box of christmas lights. "Hello Rose i got the-"
"Hey Pearl!" Greg yelled a greeting.
Pearl narrowed her eyes and sniffed. "Hello...Greg." She said displeased.
Rose folded her hands and looked at Pearl. "You're just in time Pearl! Greg's about to teach us about Christmas!"
"Ohhh fun~" Pearl said sarcastically as she set the box next to the large christmas tree. "Tell us what you know then." The gems sat down in front of Greg, with Amethyst in Garnet's lap, as he told them about Christmas Tree's,Presents,Hot
Chocolate,Snowmen-Which Greg had to inquire that they were not in fact real men, and mistletoes. After he told them this he helped them put together the perfect christmas. After a few hours the temple was lit up with Christmas lights and filled with everything Christmasy. "Awwww Greg!!! It looks so great!" Rose ran up to Greg and gave him a big hug.
Garnet spotted Amethyst sitting under the christmas tree with a sad look on her face. While the two chattered she snuck under the christmas tree and patted the small gem on the head.
"What's the matter Amethyst?" The red gem asked her. Amethyst buried her face into her knees. "We were having fun until Greg showed up.. why does Rose always want him to be involved with everything? Why can't we just have this holiday as a family?" She asked. Garnet removed her shades. "Well..Greg is part of our family now. You know Rose loves him very much.. and we should do what we can to support her." She said with small tears forming in her eyes. Amethyst's eyes widened at her expression. "No Garnet don't cry! You're not supposed to cry!" She said worriedly. Garnet shook her head and wiped the tears from her eyes. "I'm sorry, i'm promise i'm okay." She then smiled and held up a mistletoe above their heads. The purple gem's eyes lit up with curiousity. "You know what that means right?"
Amethyst slowly shook her head. Garnet grinned and kissed the small gem's plump lips, making her cheeks blush a dark purple. Garnet pulled away slowly and gave her a warm smile. "Merry Christmas Amethyst."
Amethyst eyes were filled with astonishment. "M-Merry Christmas Garnet." She managed a smile and hugged her tight.
"Thank You..."
