It's summer!

Sorry all. As I said in the other chapter my updates will be far in between. Cuz I have two part time jobs and will eventually have summer college classes. So I'm very sorry to all those who've been enjoying the story.

So here is the chapter enjoy.

{Shapely Crisis}


Steven giggled a lot as he played in the sand. He and the Gems had a long beach all to themselves. Steven loved coming out here to play in the sand.

Amethyst glance over and smiled turning into a bird flying over to Steven before turning back to herself. Steven giggled as sand sprayed everywhere. Pearl gawked from where she was building a castle out of sand. Garnet smiled slightly from where she was laid out on the sand.

"Amethyst! Don't get sand all over Steven." Pearl said angryly.

"Don't sweat it P, he's loving it." Amethyst said pointing to Steven who started throwing sand in the air giggling.

Pearl looked angryly at Amethyst. Steven then giggled as he threw sand at Amethyst. Pearl blinked and snorted seeing the sand get in Amethyst hair. Steven got up and started to walk away as Amethyst glared at Pearl.

"Don't fight in front of Steven." Garnet's voice called from where she was laying on the sand.

Steven wanted to go into the ocean for a bit walking away from his two angry watchers. He calmly walked to the ocean. He watched the tide come in and out. He stepped forward just as a huge wave crashed into the beach. Steven cried out and his body reacted his form becoming smaller and freaked out as the tide carried him out.

Pearl and Amethyst looked up as they heard Steven yell. Garnet stood quickly jumping out towards the surf. Pearl and Amethyst got up as she came back holding a small yellow triangle.

"Garnet!" Pearl said looking at the little triangle, it was wearing pink sandals, had a black star on it's stomach, and had one single eye.

"Steven." Amethyst said quietly as the small form started crying.

"Steven it's okay, your okay." Pearl said as Garnet handed her the smaller form.

"But..but I'm.." Steven said looking out from his one eye tears blurring his vision.

"Steven your you, and we love you. We will always love and protect you Steven." Garnet said seemingly knowing what he was going to say.

"I love you guys too... Umm how do I go back." Steven said blinking at his yellow form.

"Hmm try thinking about what you usually look like that usually helps me out." Amethyst said with a smile.

Steven nodded closing his eye as he thought about what he usually looked like. His form shifted in a pink ball back to his normal Stevenish self. Steven opened his eyes and hugged Pearl as she set him down. The other two Gems joined the hug.

"Umm can we keep this between us? Dad would freak." Steven asked knowing his father usually freaked out at his strange powers, both Gem and his other odd abilities.

"Sure thing Steven, but you will have to tell Greg eventually." Garnet said ajusting her shades.

Steven nodded hugging onto Pearl again as she picked up his larger form and they left the beach.


"Found him." Ford said looking at a computer screen.

Dipper and Mabel rushed over their Grunkle Stan not far behind them.

"Where is he?" Dipper asked looking at the map Ford had up on the computer.

"That might be where we will have a problem. Remember that ship I showed you Dipper?" Dipper nodded. "They weren't the only aliens to land on Earth. The other aliens are alive and well. And they live where the weird energy is coming from.' Ford said with a frown.

"Well what do you know about these other aliens?" Dipper asked as Stan and Mabel looked surprised.

"Not much, except they've been around for a long time." Ford said digging around until he found and old book.

He opened and flipped through the pages. He stopped at one of the pages and showed the others. It was an artist depiction of the settlement of a town called beach city. It was a huge four armed woman with pinkish hair fighting a sea monster. Then lower on the page was another drawing of four women. One was big and had long curly pink hair, another was slightly shorter and had brown hair in a cube shape with old style glasses on, there was a very pale one with orange hair an odd stone in her forhead, and finally a young purple one that was a lot smaller then the rest.

"This is from 200 hundred years ago." Ford said before he spun around clicking something on the computer.

He moved aside to show another picture of the same form women, wearing different outfits, and the purple one looked older.

"This is a picture taken maybe 9 years ago by a musician. These aliens are really long lived. I've even found mentions of these guys throughout history going back at least 500 years. All the same discribtion of these four women. We have to learn more about these guys, I doubt they mean us harm. It doesn't hurt to cover our bases though." Ford said with a smile Dipper shared the smile, it was one of new mysteries to be solved.

Dipper was kinda giddy he would probably be the one making a journal about these aliens, Mabel shook her head probably at him.

"S it'll be me and Mabel heading there?" Dipper asked softly.

"Yeah as much as Stanley and I like adventure we are getting to old for this. We are going to leave it to the next generation of Pines. I'll be making the stuff you'll need to capture the new Bill. We need to bring him back to Gravity Falls. It's the only place I know he can't escape from." Ford said with a grimace.

"And we'll try to figure out how to banish the guy for good." Stan said with a frown as Ford nodded.

"It will take us awhile to gather the supplies you'll need. So it will be a year at least until you both can make the trip." Ford said as Dipper and Mabel looked concerned.

"I know the time frame worries me too, but it is very necessary." Ford said with a nod.
