It was a nice and sunny day in keystone as the weather was perfect for a walk or a lunch outside .The sun warmth reached a small diner where a certain gem sat alone beside a table waiting .Jazz gazed through the window watch as people walked around minding their own business living their lives normally. Normal was a word that he or rather now she forgot what it meant a very long time ago. the gigantic figure that towered over everyone the diner waited patiently in the corner of the diner as every now and then gained a stare from the customers and occasionally from the waitress that was taking orders from every side of the dine and finally she gained enough courage to approach the red haired gem to take her order.
"Can I get you something? » Asked the waitress fearing that the giant women will snap at her, Jazz turned to her and gave her a faint smile while saying "Sorry for not ordering sooner, it's just that I'm waiting for a friend of mine and when he comes I will order"
"OH, I understand but I must tell you that you have to order soon or I will have to ask you to leave «Said the waitress trying to add some authority into her voice but that did not make the red jasper flinch, not even a little but she kept her posture waiting for an answer from the hulking figure
"Ok,I understand and I assure that he will be here soon"And as soon as she ended that sentence a handsome man in his early late thirties came into view while pushing an old man on a wheel chair while moving his head around as if he was looking for someone,the elderly noticed the red haired gem and motioned for the for his escort to push him toward gem smiled as she saw them getting closer to her table
"he's here"Said Jazz as she directed he gaze to the old man and his escort "I will order later"she added and when the waitress turned around to see who it was she was surprised to see her boss pushing his that this giant women was an acquaintance of her employer she took the hint and went back to do her job
"About time you showed up old man"Said Jazz mockingly
"Ah shut it Freddy,im nothing but a sack of half dusty bones and skin"
"Just kidding Greg,and you know no one called me Freddy in ages"
"Yeah,nearly seventy years to be precise"
"hey big guy,can you believe that I'm as old as this guy"
"I'm sorry but this is bullshit"
"hah,you don't believe it . then take a good look at this picture"the crystal gem said whil holding her hand and projecting a hologramme from her gem,it showed a young Greg playing video games with Jazz with a kid next to them cheering for man couldn't believe what his eyes saw,seeing his father younger self in picture was something but seeing him like this was something else,sure technology was advanced these days but the hologramme that the lady projected from the gem that was located on the palm of her left hand was far beyond the crapy ones that they had that age but none the less it confirmed their claim,he thought his father was crazy back when he told him about that ageless friend of his when he was a kid but seeing her with his own eyes changed a lot of things.
"So that giant women that you told me about when I was a kid was her,well that explains a lot of things"Said the man
"Don't be like this Jason,after all he was a human just like us and he was my roommate"
"wait what?what do you mean be he was a human and what do you mean by he?"Asked Jason
"my boy,sit down Because this is going to be a very long story"
"Jason,you might want to do as she said son"The old man in a wheel chair told his son which the younger one complied and sat down
"This all began when I was 23 years old and was a human,I was a guy named freddy and I used to be this old man roommate,we just finished working and we had a day off.i was still asleep when your dad kept nagging at me to answer the phone but I didn't even move and told him to answer it for me which he did,it turned out to be my mom telling me not to forget our annual family reunion and I told that I will be,I gave your dad the video game I intended to play when mom called me and went on my the middle of the ride I saw something glow at the edge of the road,it got me curious and I went to check on it.I picked the gemwith my left hand and just when I thought it was only a normal gemstone it glued itself in my palm and from that thing went down the hill…"
"Come on Freddy,don't leave him hanging and don't leave me like him too and I know that I heard the story couple of time back at the time but it won't hurt to hear it once again"
"I want to continue telling the story but let'ss get something to eat"
"I thought you gem don't need to eat"
"We don't but we can do it if we want to"
"Don't worry,dad and Freddy you can order whatever you want and it's on the house"
"that is kind of you , thanks for the offer but next time I will pay alright"insisted the nigh-immortal being,soon after the three finished their food Jazz was asked again to finish her story
"So like I was saying things went down the hill,the gem sank right into my arm and began to burn my body like crazy and I felt something crawl inside my hand and when I took a look my veins started glowing and I blacked out,the only thing I remember is that I screamed for help and after that nothing.I just woke up and thought it was just a nightmare and I was dead wrong,the gem was still on my hand and I looked like a totally new person and for a moment there I kinda like it but I made up my mind to go to beach city and meet the fam but then again I remembered how I looked and quickly gave up…"
"that's not the freddy that I know,the one I know does not give up even in prank and I got these burn marks on my arm to prove that"Old Greg said,showing what seemed to be a nasty looking looking burn on one of his arms
"Nasty,and like I was saying I got desperate and gave up until they found me"
"who found you?"
"I'm ain't telling until you tell me how thing ended up when I was gone"
"Damnt it Jazz,you and your stupid got me and my boy here hyped for the rest of you story"
"dude ,this is the first time we met in ages. I think I have the right to know how my OLD roommate was doing,seems fair to me don't you think Jason"
"yeah she's right dad well this is the least you can do since you guys haven't met like in fifty years or something"
"yeah yeah,catching up is what we ar here to do"
"Sorry for not meeting you in person Greg but thing went down the wrong way and I couldn't face anyone,I know I texted you and I know we talked a lot on the phone but not meeting you or mom and dad back at the time was one of my biggest regrets"
"Don't sweat it Freddy,now the thing is back at that time when I was playing the game you gave me your mom called asking if you left and I told her you went by and there was no sign of you,that got your whole family worried sick about you,your uncles and aunts searched every cornerof beach city and California looking for you but it was a hopless search until they got your email telling them your sorry and that you will not be coming back"
"that was one of the hardest thing that I had to do,felt like stabing them in the back bro"
" You never had a choice and I understand,I mean if I was turned into a genderless and ageless alien I'd go crazy but you did family thought you were dead but you comforted them,I'm not going to say that it's a good move but at least you comforted them"
"you know what maybe we can finish this talk later because you two are coming with me"
"Where are we going exactly?"they asked,Jazz smiled and pointed to the sky
"We are going to space"
There you have it my dudes,the fourth chapter is here as you noticed both Jazz and Greg's stories are not that complete but I promise you this,in the next chapter Greg will get to complete his story while Freddy or should I say Jazz Story will begin and as you already noticed she only recalled some of the events that happened to her while she turned into a gem but let get down to what I really want to Say . this Story will be continued no matter what and like this one my other stories will be updated and continued aswell except for fusion,the new chapter of that story is kinda hard to write and it's progressing at a very slow rate,probably going to have two or three filler chapter to make thing even more that every thing is Said I wish you all a happy day.
