Ch. 7 Amethyst and Onyx

Night already had fallen onto Beach City as she stepped outside her room, looking around, and only seeing Steven, fast asleep. Amethyst sighed, not wanting to see her other fellow gems at the moment. She needed to see him. She knew Pearl already went to see him, so why shouldn't she. Being quick and stealthy, she ran to the door and went out.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit's all for my grog! My jolly jolly grog!" sang the black gem, a bit off key, as he put more wood into the fire. He was stretching a bit, thinking what he would do tomorrow. Probably go hang out in his old places where he Rose, Pearl, and Amethyst use to hang out. Not much where he and Garnet hanged out though, not yet anyways. He breath a sigh of relaxation when suddenly out of nowhere, he was attack in a hug from behind that brought him down to the sand. He turned to the right side of his face to look up to see a short purple girl sitting on his back smiling.

"Hi there...big brother." said the smiling Amethyst.

"Hello yourself, little sister." said Onyx, smiling back. After Amethyst got off him and he got up, she quickly gave him a hug as he hugged her back. "I was wondering when you showed up. You know Pearl was here the other night."

"Yeah I know, I sort of saw you two talking. Did she say anything bad about me?"

"I'm not allow to talk about that, you know its private." said Onyx, shaking his head smiling. "But I am glad you finally came. I wanted to talk about some stuff. Like how's my favorite purple gem been doing." and began to put her in a friendly choke hold, and rubbing her white hair.

Amethyst laughed as she tried to get out of it. "Onyx, I'm the only purple gem you know."

"Yeah I know, just making sure that you know its you." he said letting go as both sat down on the beach with a sigh.

Amethyst missed Onyx the most, she felt like Pearl was a bit stuck up, Garnet thought she was not serious at all, and Steven was still too young. While Rose Quartz was a different story, Onyx was really there to support her and help her out whenever he could. He would protect her from the other's critism about her recklessness and headstrong impulses. Maybe because he was a bit like her too. They love to lay around some of the time, play pranks on the other gems and people, heck they use to volunteer to go on missions together cause they would have so much fun. He was her big brother, while she was his little sister, or "Little Amy" he sometimes called her.

"So Little Amy, how have you been?" asked Onyx as he sat down on the sand cross legged, while she sat in front of him before putting her head on his knees to look up at him. It was a thing they use to to do.

"UGH! Where do I even start? Pearl's always on my case, we can't even form Opal anymore-"

Onyx snickered. "What else is new, you two are like night and day."

"Yeah...but I'm the fun one right?"

"Of course, after me." said the male gem, earning a snort laugh for the female. "Pearl's just a bit of a perfectionist, you know that."

"I know but, man, she is really just soooo...well you know. I can't even grasp it, its like you and Garnet now, but daily. And speaking of that, how come you and Garnet are like that, you two were pretty close back in the day." smirked Amethyst, causing Onyx to blush a bit of purple for a second, before he shook his head.

"Its a long story." Onyx muttered. "Look, just don't let Pearl get to you, you know she just cares about you, in a strange way."

"Pfft, yeah right, those who do left me." she said as she brushed his hair out to see his eye and gem.

"I didnt mean to leave you." said Onyx, brushing her hair to see her eyes as well. "I was just...force to go."

"Why?" asked Amethyst, for once in those rare times all seriousness. Why did her brig brother had to leave.

"I'll tell you another time, Little Amy." he said, giving her a small smile. "Hey...we will always have Glasgow, right?"

Amethyst smile widely. "Yeaaaah..." she replied, happily. Glasgow was one of their favorite adventures together. Centuries ago they were went to inspect a hidden gem temple below a hillside and had to fight a giant two-headed bear crystal monster. That was fun, but what made it more fun was the fights they had in the Scotland city with some of the local towns people. It was a good day, until Rose found out and scowled them both. They went a few more times afterwards until Onyx left.

"I went there once after I left, you know."

"With out me?" asked Amethyst, joking to be hurt.

"Yeah...but it was not the same. I think it was the company I had more fun with over there, then actually going there." said Onyx, chuckled.

"Aaaaaaaaaw Oni." she said, giving him his nickname. The two then laughed for a bit until they subdued their laughter. "So...did you miss me?"

"I missed three out of four of you. But yes I missed you the most at times."

"I bet though you missed Rose a lot more though."

"I miss her more now. At least you got to say good bye."

"Yeah..." said Amethyst, and then suddenly grabbing his hat from his head, and standing up quickly.

"HEY!" said Onyx, with a chuckle. "That's mine!"

"You want it? Better come get it!" said the purple gem, and began to run around, being chased by the black one. They did this for a while till they got bored and began to talk some more, remembering the good times and joking around, until the fire was out and the sun began to rise.

"You better get going before Garnet find you."

"Yeah...hey, maybe i can talk to her and see if you can come up for breakfast or a mission with us."

"Hm...that would be nice." said Onyx. "I would like that. I doubt it would happen but that would be nice."

"Cool." and gave him a big hug, which he returned. "Later Onyx!" she said and with that went up the hill.

"Where have you been?" hissed Pearl, as she waved her hands looking at the gem's door.

"Out." replied Amethyst

"With Onyx?"

"Yeah, and what's wrong with that, you were with him the night before."

Pearl blushed blue before shaking her head. "That's not the point, if Garnet finds out-"

"Amethyst. Pearl." said Garnet, coming out of the gem door, causing the two of them to straighten up. "Where Steven?"

"HERE I AM!" said Steven, in his happy mood, coming out from the bathroom, all dressed up.

"Good...I need you three to go out to the Rocky Falls Temple to reteive the Scrolls of the Elder Gems."

"Awesome!" Smiled Steven.

"Sure, but um, what are you going to do?" asked Pearl.

"I need to go talk to an old friend of ours." replied the tallest gem and went out the door, not seeing the other's reactions.

"This is not going to end well for either." muttered Pearl.

"You can say that again." said Amethyst

"Are Garnet and Onyx going to fight?" asked Steven, a bit worried.

"I hope not, Steven. Maybe they will just talk to each other."

"Yeah right, Pearl."

Pearl gave the purple gem a look before turning back to the door. "We better just go." she said as she and the others turned to the transporter to leave for their mission.
