Hey, everyone. Ellis here.

So, a lot of you seemed to like this, so here's another piece. Like I said, I kind of want to put my own twist on this. I won't give out very many details/spoilers. But, if you want to literal something for you. Then feel free to write me a comment about it.

Now for Part 2!

The little pink-haired girl sat on the floor with the bubble gem from yesterday. It was ten o'clock in the morning and she really didn't need to do anything major at the moment. So, now was a good time as any for it. So, she stood up, got mentality prepared for the worst, and pop the bubble. After a couple of moments, the gem glowed and began to formed. Soon, the orange buff woman was kneeling in front her. She crouched before her, "Good morning, how do you feel?"

Her snapped at her, "A human? No, your hair's… pink…"

The pink girl narrowed her eyes, "Geez, what gave you that idea? Of course, my hair's pink, but believe or not, I am human…"

The buff woman laughed, "You got to be kidding me! With hair like that, you might as well be a gem yourself!" She stopped laughing after a moment, "Now who are you and what am I doing here?"

"Name's Penelope. Penelope Pink. As you can see, I live around here. I found you in the ruins near here. That place can be dangerous with all the monsters lurking there." Penelope stared at her now, "Now who are you?"

"I'm a Jasper! Known as the Perfect Quartz on Homeworld!" she said, almost proudly.

"Perfect quartz, huh? Well, that's a funny way of putting it given how I found you. Then again, what do I know? I'm just the weird Pink girl that's crazy enough to live around here." She turned and went to go put on her shoes.

"Wait! So, you know who poofed me?!" Jasper exclaimed.

Penelope looked at her, "Yes, I do."

"Who—"

Penelope brought out one of her pink Gauntlets and Jasper gasped, "YOU!"

"In my defence, you were a little crazy when you dragged yourself out of the ground! I only bubbled you for a day to cool off!" She returned the gauntlet, "Look, I don't mind if you stay or go. Just don't cause any trouble, or I WILL put you back in a bubble, got it?"

Jasper laughed, "I like to see you try, Pinky."

"It's Penelope, Cheeto Puff, and two can play at that game." She said, smiling.

Jasper looked both astonished and confused. Penelope heard her muttering Cheeto puff as she left to tend to her garden. She, honestly, could care less what the giant brute did as long as she didn't make a mess. Besides, today the market was coming for her oranges since they're in season right now. So, she had to get everything ready to go. She was in the middle of taking inventory when she finally noticed Jasper looking down over her shoulder at what she was doing.

"May I help you?" Penelope asked, annoyed.

"What are you doing? You're clearly a gem, so why do something as ridiculous as… grow food? Gems don't eat!" Jasper reasoned.

"Well, for one thing, I grow food to survive. Not only can you eat them, but also use them as a bartering tool for others goods that you do need. Surely, you have a similar system in your so-called Homeworld?" She explained, continuing her work.

"Well, yes. But, we still have no use for food!" Jasper argued.

"Well, then I'm clearly not a gem cause I have needs like hunger and sleep." Penelope clarified. As if on cue her stomach growled, meaning it was probably a good idea to get lunch soon.

"What… was that?" Jasper inquired, looking a little put off by the sound.

"Hunger."

The look on Jasper's face at her answer: priceless. Penelope smiled in satisfaction, "It's called being Human, Cheeto Puff. But, you wouldn't want to try and understand, now do you?"

She went back to work, wanting to at least finish up so that she can eat. By the time she was done, she noticed Jasper hadn't really budge. She stood there as if she was off in her own space somewhere.

"Hello, Earth to Jasper! You okay?" Penelope tried, a little concerned about this.

Jasper managed to snap back into reality, "Huh?"

"You alright? Spaced out on me there, Cheeto Puff."

"None of your business, Pinky. I was just remembering something is all. And what, in Diamonds name, is a Cheeto puff?!" She asked, highly confused now.

Penelope smiled now, "Come on. I'll show you." She took Jasper's hands and lead her back into the house towards the kitchen area. After rummaging through the snack cabinet, she pulled out the bag of cheeto puffs and pulled one out for Jasper to see.

"This is a Cheeto puff. It is a very delectable cheesy snack that we humans like to eat." Penelope explained, eating the puff for emphasis.

"…I do not look anything remotely like THAT." Jasper growled under her breath.

"No, but the two of you are similar in a number of ways. For example, both of you are orange, white, and poofy. And by poofy, I mean your extremely fluffy-looking hair. Seriously, can I touch it?" Penelope said, her eyes twinkling with stars.

"Uh… Why?" Jasper asked, slowly backing away from the now creepy-looking… gem child thing?

"Cause it's fluffy and it looks really, really soft." She replied, her smile getting bigger as managed to corner Jasper into the couch, "Please?"

Jasper, looking completely uncomfortable, decided to use couch as barrier by hopping over it and making a run for the door. Penelope ran after her cause she had the uncontrollable urge to get her hands on that hair. She, occasionally, had moments like these where she felt the need to admire or touch certain things. Usually simple things she saw every day, others were a new thing altogether. It was odd for her to do these kinds of things, but now she was just having fun with this one. Jasper, the 'Perfect Quartz', was trying to outrun her all because she was scared of one little pink-haired girl touching her wild, white mane of fluffy hair? It was kind of hilarious really. Occasionally, she'll throw things like empty baskets at her to try and slow her down. She evaded them and the moment Jasper stopped long enough, Penelope pounced and tackled her to the ground. Successfully, getting her hands of the fluffy mane of hair of a shocked Jasper.

"OH MY STARS, IT'S SO SOFT I COULD DIE!" Penelope exclaimed, happily buried her face in it.

"Please, do! Die happily if that's what it takes! Just don't touch me with THAT face again!" Jasper screamed, sitting up with Penelope still holding on to her like a koala to a Eucalyptus tree. Penelope giggled as Jasper pulled her off, "YOU are the most terrifying gem…thing I ever met! Just what kind of gem ARE you?!"

Penelope's giggling died at the question; her expression forlorn. "I'm nobody. I'm just a lowly pink-haired brat that runs a garden and hunts monsters by herself. That's all I want and that's all I'll ever need. I don't need to become something that someone else wants me to be. I just want be me: Penelope Pink. And no one will ever take that away from me!" She said, getting up and brushing the dirt off her.

"I have to go eat something. If you would, kindly, picking up the baskets, I'd appreciate it. But, like I said, do what you want. Just don't make a mess here." Penelope said, walking back to her house and left Jasper to herself.

So, how is it? Please leave a review.

Laters,

Ellis Alpha
