Over The Hill

By. Jaroberts251

Chapter two

Hey everybody, this is your boy, Jaroberts251, and I'm here to bring you chapter two of my adopted story, 'Over The Hill', and I hope you all enjoy it. Now on with the story...

"Oh! You almost forgot your gnome costume Wirt!" Greg said excitedly, almost as if he wanted Wirt to put it on.

"It's not a gnome costume!" Wirt said, putting it on. "It have no idea what it is! I don't know why I even wore it in the first place!"

Greg sighed, and said, "Okay, but can we get Beatrice?" Wirt smiled and said, "Sure, Greg. After the dinner." So the two went out to the diner, and then to Beatrice's house. Wirt was smiling the biggest smile Greg ever saw, and he was wondering if he had a bit of a crush on her.

"So, where does Beatrice live, Wirt?" Wirt stopped, his smile turned into a blank expression. "I... I... I don't know..." Wirt stammered, his ears were as red as cherry.

"Well, at least we can try to find out." Greg said, this time having a big smile.

(In Beach City...)

"Amethyst, are we going to the fry shop to get some bits by a new way?" Steven said, puzzled, because he was in a part of town he didn't know.

"No, we're just going to a hill I used to go to all the time." Amethyst said, with a small smile on her face. "What did you do up there?"

Amethyst stopped in her tracks, (which is very common too, now) and said, "Just private stuff Steven, nothing to worth wondering about."

"Ummm... okay." Steven said, puzzled.

Sorry that was a bit short, the next part of this chapter is still having to do with the gems, just Amethyst remembering what happened on the hill.

"Have you got the corrupted gems?" It said. "Yes. They're right here. Now give me Emerald!" Amethyst said, very serious. "I'm sorry, your friend didn't come today." It handed her an Edelwood branch.

Amethyst grasped, "YOU turned him into a TREE?! A TREE? YOU WERE GOING TO TURN ME INTO ONE TOO, WEREN'T YOU, YOU PSYCHO?"

"Now, Amethyst, don't get upset with me, he's just weak right now." It gave her a lamp, "Your friend Emerald will stay alive as long as you keep this lantern lit. Good deal, huh? Your friend's life for keeping this lantern lit for the rest of your natural life."

She almost grabbed it, then backed away. "No. That's just stupid. I can give the gem to Rose, and she can heal him. Although, she did say she may have a kid soon."

Amethyst walked back to temple, Rose wasn't there. "Probably just a mission." She thought. But then Pearl and Garnet walked into the room. In Pearl's hands, was a baby boy with a Rose Quartz on his belly. "No!" Amethyst gasped, "She can't be..."

Pearl looked concerned, "What did you need her for? I thought we told you she was having a kid soon." Amethyst frowned, held up a green gem. Pearl looked like she would drop the baby she was so worried. "Emerald?" What happened to him?" Amethyst had tears forming in her eyes, "Some sort of freak monster turned him into an Edelwood tree."
