"What's going on?" Rose asked a random gem when they'd arrived at the earth's kindergarten.

"One of the new borns emerged to early and is out of control." The gem replied, trying not to show the fear in her voice.

"Where?" Rose said calmly. This was okay. She could handle this. She could put her subjects at ease.

"Th-that way." The gem pointed. She was tiny, barely taller than sapphire. She was obviously weak when it came to strength. Most gems who tended kindergartens were weak. The strong gems did the fighting and exterminating.

"Is this a good idea?" Pearl asked nervously trotting along behind Rose and Sapphire. If it wasn't for her constant nervous chatter Rose thought she surely would have forgotten it was Pearl's first time planet side by now.

"Of course." Rose Quartz gave her servant a reassuring smile. "I'm called to help with crisis like this all the time."

"You are?" Pearl's eyes widened. She new her princess was strong, and could certainly hold her own in a fight, but she'd never dreamed of Rose being called directly into dangerous fights. Had she known she would have insisted on accompanying the princess on missions long before now.

Suddenly a series of animalistic screams erupted from up ahead. "Let's go!" Rose said.

"Wait!" Sapphire grabbed the princess's wrist. The out of character contact made Rose stop in her tracks.

"What is it?" She asked concerned. For Sapphire to panic was unheard of.

"I can't see our futures." Sapphire explained, "What ever comes next is uncertain."

"You can't see anything in the future?" Rose was shocked, "Not even a glimmer?" Sapphire shook her head in reply.

"What should we do?" Pearl asked her princess. Rose didn't have time to answer, because the corrupted gem was upon them.
