"Space you say, well that's a new one" The elderly on the wheel chair

"Trust me Greg, you still haven't seen a single thing and we are not going to space exactly. More like orbit to be more precise" Jazz said, the gem formerly known as Fredrick James Porter was excited to show her old friend something that is going to blow up his mind well amaze him is more like it. As the three stepped out of the building Jazz held her hand and motioned for something and to their surprise a red sphere appeared out of nowhere, the spherical object got near them and a door opened. The red Jasper help the elderly getting inside while his son help himself, it shocked the two humans even more to see how big the inside of the sphere was.

"I'll be damned," Jason said while looking around and examining the interior.

"That's right kid, still have many things to show you, ยป The red one said while typing something

"I still have a lot to tell you Greg, what happened in the past seventy years cannot be summed in just one lunch so I want to invite you to my house. Maybe play some video games for old time's sake"
"you are my only friend Freddy, we share a strong bond that time or age cannot destroy."

"Thanks bro, really appreciate what you did for me back at the time. I tried to get back to my mom and dad but they rejected me, said that I was not their son anymore but only my big brother believed me. That got him into serious trouble with the family so I eventually had to cut down every tie with him for his own sake. I was alone but thanks to the crystal gems and a series of events that I would rather not talk about it"

"I say these crystal gem are good friends"

"More like family, they gave me home where my own flesh and blood renounced was heartbreaking what my family did to me but they will always be the people that I once loved, hell if it wasn't for my big brother I would have hated them wholeheartedly but guess that time can really vanquish hate. After they helped me out I got on my way, became a wandering gem and that is a very long story that I would tell you about later." Said the quartz gem, while recalling her past life as a human, for her the first years after she became a gem were too harsh to be handled alone and if it was not for the crystal gems well she wouldn't dare imagine what could have happened to her.

"Okay boys, strap in for the ride of your lives" The red haired gem said as she pressed some sort of a button, which made the red sphere starting to make a humming voice as if it was replying to her. Soon the red sphere took off with light speed toward the sky; it was not seconds until they reached the vast empty void of space. Beautiful, even if it was a soulless empty void that creep the living shit out of you but it remains beautiful. Nonetheless, the old man was happy, like a fat kid with the keys to a candy store and so was his son, sure, he said he wanted to be an astronaut and explore space when he was a kid but this was beyond his wildest dream

"I wish the kids were here, they would really love it"

"Don't worry; I will make sure I pay you a visit once I'm in the solar system again. Now you still haven't see my house yet, it's in the orbit of Mars"

"Stop lying"

"No I'm not my dudes in fact, we are already here." Jazz said while pointing out to what look like a giant red hand, circuit like line were all over the ship. It radiated an aura that left the two human with their mouths wide open, unable to close them, the sheer size of the star ship amazed the two men.

"Well I will be damned; this is what I call a space ship." Said the young man

"It's a starship not a spaceship, and besides my crew would love to meet you"

"What crew? You never mentioned any crew"

"How I got to be their leader is a very long story, I will tell you about it when we get back to earth"

With a motion of her hand, a hole appeared in the palm of the hand-shaped starship, which fitted the sphere like ship, they were onboard. Darkness flooded the red sphere for a moment startling the two organics, scared, almost losing their cool but they managed to stay calm as light came back and they found themselves in some kind of hallway.

"Alright guys, welcome inside my starship. Now this hallway leads to the command room and also my personal quarters so how about going now, the rubies are busy and they won't be able to meet us as I asked them to maintain the ship and keep it in one piece while I was gone so let's get going"

Jazz P.O.V

Getting to spend my time with my best friend one more time was the best thing that I did in ages. Ever since I found my gemstone seventy years ago my life changed completely, I don't regret going through things that I never thought I'd go through even in my wildest dreams, we did have a good time the three of us and after that I took them back to earth. A week later Greg died in his bed, watching his favorite show. I guess that was the end of his ride, he had a good run and he accomplished a lot but my ride is far from over, in fact this is just the beginning . My name is Jazz. Remember that.

All right people, this is it, the end of this story which I really enjoyed writing so much and if you take a closer look you will find that many thing were left without a proper explanation. If you take the hint you will know that I'm planning to write a sequel for this story, well the sequel will be telling the prequel story of Jazz and what she did for the past years prior to the last two chapter. I will write as many chapters as I can for that story and probably it's going to be the longest story that I ever wrote , I think that it will be likely more than twenty chapter but I can't guarantee it though. I will try to keep up my word and I will make it the best story I wrote. I already have ideas for the first four or five chapters and it looks promising. Until the next time I write, goodbye and have a nice day
