A/n:So I have a rough plan on what I want to do. It'll be easier like that.. But, it'll be short
Just a warning.
Oh ya, just something.
Everytime I post a chapter of this. I usually post a one shot not too far after.
Onwards!
The kindergarten, a place where gems were made. However, it required the life of the land to thrive in the environments in Homeworld.
Why do you think Earth was being fought for? It was the center of life. The most promising planet to be landed opon.
Too bad for the rebellion, if they weren't in the way, they'd have that planet taken care of. Controlled beyond most beings reach.
So for now, theyd have to deal with the kindergartens on this planet and the ones on other planets.
This wasn't the point on this certain gems mission, however.
.
"Aquamarine 211, ordered here by Blue Diamond."
The Jet looked up from the records she was surveying when she heard the name, her amber eyes reflecting nothing
"On what business?"
Aquamarine sighed, "We are short of a dancer. Blue Diamond requested me to get a new one. Due to the fact I am the lead dancer."
She tapped her foot impatiently, really wanting to get this over with.
She wasn't the most.. Social with other gems (unless they were friends) So she usually got her work done before asking questions.
The Jets eyes widened at the mention of the "lead dancer"
"No way, is it to replace the Azurite that messed up at the Diamond ball? Man, that gem really screwed up."
Aquamarine clenched her fist, trying to push down the urge to punch the taller gem.
Instead, she smiled, a sickeningly sweet thing that she was used to forcing.
"Yes, and if I may ask. Is there any other gem to guide me through this place?"
Jet shrugged, "You see, most of the Obsidian are in the Quartz kindergarten, we needed them especially for the upcoming rebellion fight.. So.. I'm afraid not."
Aquamarine wanted to slap herself right then and there.
Are you kidding me? This is bullshit.
Expecting a gem to know where the hell they were going in a place they had never seen, or been to.
"Oh, alright. I'll find an Azurite then."
The Jet went back to surveying the records.
"Yup, right. That's fine with me."
.
Aquamarine scanned the kindergarten, shuddering slightly at all the holes drilled into the walls.
Who's to think that this place has grown thousands of thousands of gems! This place gave life! And now it looks so... She looked around, seeing the wilted grass, dead flowers, and barren ground. Dead..
She had been wandering the kindergarten for quite some time, having passed the Onyx and Carnelian sectors.
Azurite.. Azurite..
The name echoed throughout her head.
It pained her to think of her friend, it really did. But, life goes on. And you can't let emotions get the best of you.
She shook her head, before looking at the sky, letting her thoughts wander.
"Especially for the upcoming rebellion fight.."
The rebellion, she had heard of it.
Countless gems had been switching sides, fighting for the life of Earth. While the others had stayed on her planet, fighting for their diamonds,
She sighed, kicking one of the many rocks littering the ground. (She had even managed to kick one rock, into two rocks!)
She didn't want to think about that either, but, its better than thinking about her deceased friend.
A gem was the leader, a quartz? She didn't know that exact facts. But, she was interested in it. (Why do you think she was near the computer in 4B anyway? Research comes with a price!)
Shadows were more prominent at this time, they littered very crack, every surface. But the bright moonlight dispersed more than enough patches in order for Aquamarine to see.
It was so bright, Aquamarine thought she could the power from its glow course through her veins.
She could very easily blend into the shadows(grey, mgrey skin, duh!) Easily making her very hard to see.
The cliffs on the side of the floor had evened out, gradually turning back into normal stone. Having been untouched by any of gem kind.
Aquamarine stopped in her tracks, her face falling
Annnnd I'm lost.
This is just perfect!
She scowled, hitting the wall next to her.
A small, fist sized crater was imprinted into the stone.
Well, damn. Didn't expect to be that strong!
Whatever!
She turned around, preparing to head back where she came. Possibly to yell at that Jet for being such a little shi-
"Topaz to Rose Quartz-"
A girly voice echoed throughout the kindergarten, making Aquamarine jump behind a one of the rocks. (The one she kicked into two!)
Who is that? Its certainly not a gem of Blue Diamonds court..
And Rose Quartz? Why does that sound so familiar?
She crouched down, hand on her other. Preparing to summon her weapon
"Did you see anything?"
Aquamarine looked around the side of the rock, seeing a gem. A bright one..
Tourmaline? No.. Those are green.. Tanzani- no of course not! Turquoise? Pfft, as if. Topaz? Is that it?
She had long orange hair, red at the tips. Along with an orange shirt, a pink diamond on it.
..strange.
She, herself, was wearing an ever so standard, uniform (for a dancer, of course) with her diamonds sign.
The gem-Topaz- nodded, "Ya, lots of gems are here."
Aquamarine narrowed her eyes, catching on to this conversation
A spy? For the rebels? This is ridiculous! How could she have gotten through-
"The Obsidians are at the Quartz kindergarden-"
With the thought coming back to her, she nearly slapped herself in realization.
Oh, so that's why.
The Topaz shuddered. Before looking around.
She didn't seem to see anything, as she shrugged and went on.
"There's Carnelians, all kinds of onyxs, Azurites, Obsidians.. Jets are the supervisors.. And I saw a Citrine, not here. Awhile ago."
Citrines? Never seen one of those before, she had probably seen her in yellow diamonds court..
Aquamarine closed her eyes when she said her friends name. (Azurite of course, she had never met any of the other gems but an Onyx.. Once, anyway. But that's another story)
The Topaz looked down, putting her hand into her pocket
From this view, Aquamarine couldn't see what she was doing. And she had no idea what either.
Small words fluttered through the wind, though she, herself, couldn't identify them.
"Good.. Thanks, Topaz. You can come home now."
"No problem, Rose. Thanks."
Aquamarine continued to watch as the gem sighed, before looking up at the stars.
A small smile formed on the orange gems lips, as if thinking something nice.
Aquamarine couldn't take it anymore, who the hell could smile here?
This was a place of death! A place of survival of the fittest! A kindergarten! For the stars sake.
And, she was a spy. Even though she might've been curious to the thoughts/actions of the rebellion, she was still a homeworld gem! A loyal one, at that.
Right?
She slowly stepped out from behind the rock, keeping to the patches of shadow.
She leapt beside the other gem. Who, quickly jumped back, summoning two ninja stars in a bright flash of light.
Aquamarines gaze didn't waver as she stared at the gem.
For a moment, Blue eyes met amber in silent accusation.. And a bit of wonder.
Aquamarine, however, was the first to let the true words out.
"Who are you? And what are you doing here?"
.
Olivine groaned, resting her head on the desk in front of her.
It had been days since the device had been hacked and taken out of their hands.
Yet she couldn't get it back.
Rose hasn't been able to do anything but provide comfort, so it had mostly been put up to Olivine herself.
She had no idea how or why the chip in the system occurred. It had all just happened so quickly and-
She shook her head, not wanting to get caught up on some unimportant thoughts.
She quickly scribbled something down on her screen, keeping note of the energy levels being transmitted. If it were (so to say, rise dramatically in number, they would know if anyone was trying to get back into the system)
Olivine knew it was a futile attempt. Whoever had done this had most likely gotten all the information needed by then, having no excess reason to continue going into the board to retrieve more...
She rubbed her temples, ignoring her crumpled up lab suit and papers around her feet.
Suddenly, a loud beeping noise sounded, interrupting Olivine from her thoughts.
She leapt up, racing to the machine, teeth gritted.
Someone was trying to get into the system!
She mentally sighed in relief. Wait.. That means they might actually catch who had hacked into the system and stolen the files!
The pulses were gaining in frequency, making some of the less protected (software wise) machines glitch around her.
She didn't care, she just wanted to get this over with.
When she caught up with the pulses, she frowned.
This isn't what I expected.
The pulses being submitted were those of a video message. Which she couldn't exactly decipher from here.
She sighed, typing rapidly on the keyboard.
She connected her screen to the data, waiting.
"Well, well. If it isn't Olivine. Its been a pleasure," Olivine growled when she heard the speaking of a gem she knew all too well.
She was regretting turning on the message.
"I'd just like to thank you for your information. The device you had created was quite.. Interesting, to say to the least. I'm glad we got ahold of it.."
"How did you do that?! Getting the files should've been nearly impossible!" She screeched, digging her nails into her palms.
Sadly, this was a recording, repeating again, and again, and again. Over and over. So they couldn't hear her pleas.
"To thank you.."
"Got ahold of it.."
"Its been a pleasure.."
She screamed, banging her fists against the desk in anger, those words repeating over and over.
Somewhere (away from Earth) an orange and black gem grinned, turning away from a screen, chip in hand.
Just like that. The projection stopped.
A/n: yup, crappy. I know. I wrote it on the night I published shades of blue, so... Didn't have much time.
The next chapter will be the one that takes longer as it might be a battle scene..
So uh! I hope you enjoyed!
Review please :3
