Chapter 3: New Experiences
Outside Of Crystal Gem Temple
The three kids all sat while Steven and Connie talked about fusion.
"The way that fusion is done is by a dance," said Steven, "but not just one dance routine, it can be for other types of dance, as long as it works."
"To demonstrate, me and your father shall fuse." said Connie.
"Yeah, Stevonnie!" said Amazonite.
Steven and Connie stood in front of each other. Steven and Connie held each other's hands as Steven twirled Connie around. Suddenly, a bright flash emitted, and out from the flash jumped out Stevonnie.
"Hello, students! I am Stevonnie, and today, I shall teach you how to fuse." said Stevonnie, "Are you kids ready to learn about fusion?"
"Yeah!" said the three kids.
"The way that fusion works can vary between different Gems," said Stevonnie, "it can work through dance, but there are other ways it can work."
"What about you and Aunt Garnet?" said Turquoise.
"Garnet is the embodiment of Ruby and Sapphire's love for each other," said Stevonnie, "and I am the embodiment of Steven and Connie's love for each other, our love for each other is so strong, that we don't even have to fuse through dance, we can just do it through hugging, or even, well, kissing."
The three kids both giggled at that last part.
"We'll do Turquoise first." said Stevonnie, "Turquoise, who would you like to fuse with?"
"Aunt Pearl." said Turquoise.
"Alright then." said Stevonnie.
"Remember when we used Lapis?" said Jasper, "Man that was horrible."
"Yeah, tell me about it." said Lapis.
Turquoise stepped up next to Pearl.
"Remember, to do fusion, just do the dance moves that you think are right, just get expressive, that's how fusion works." said Stevonnie.
"Alright, Turquoise," said Pearl, "Let's do this."
Pearl then started doing ballet moves, and so did Turquoise.
"Turquoise, are you copying my moves?" said Pearl.
"No, I just really like ballet dancing too." said Turquoise.
Pearl and Turquoise continued doing ballet moves.
"Catch me Aunt Pearl." said Turquoise.
Turquoise did a ballet twirl and jumped up, to which Pearl caught her. Both Pearl and Turquoise's gem started glowing. Then there was a bright flash.
From the bright flash emerged a figure as tall as Garnet, with black hair running down its back, two eyes, with a Pearl gem over the left eye, and a Turquoise gem over the right eye. She was wearing a light blue dress, with a star on the torso, and was wearing Pearl's shoes.
"My goodness, what a fusion." said the fusion, "Oh my gosh, I'm so excited, I can't believe we did it! What shall this fusion be named? How about White Alabaster? I love it!"
"You did it Turquoise!" said Stevonnie, "Good job!"
"Thanks." said White Alabaster. The fusion then unfused.
"I did it, yes!" said Turquoise.
"You did great, Turquoise." said Pearl.
"Thanks Aunt Pearl, woo!" said Turquoise.
"Up next, Amazonite." said Stevonnie.
"Woo!" said Amazonite, "I pick Aunt Jasper!"
"Alright then." said Stevonnie.
"Wonder how I'm gonna be able to dance with me, what with me being tall and him being short." said Jasper.
"I'm sure it's fine, Jasper." said Stevonnie.
Jasper then started doing disco-type dance moves. Amazonite tried doing cartwheels.
Amazonite cartwheeled his way over to Jasper.
"I got you." said Jasper, who held Amazonite. Both of their Gems started glowing.
From the flash emerged a figure with long white hair, orange skin, a Jasper gem on its nose, and an Amazonite gem on its belly, wearing Jasper's shirt and Amazonite's coat over the shirt.
"I can't smell anything." said the fusion, "Well, that's what happens when your gem is on your nose. Our name should be Smoked Topaz. Nice name."
Jasper and Amazonite separated.
"And now for Aquamarine." said Stevonnie.
"I want to fuse with Aunt Garnet!" said Aquamarine.
"Okay." said Stevonnie.
Aquamarine stepped beside Garnet. Garnet started doing her own dance, while Aquamarine started jumping around.
"Not much of a dance." said Jasper.
"Don't be rude, Jasper." said Peridot.
Aquamarine jumped into Garnet's arms, and a flash came.
This figure had the same square hair as Garnet, but was now as tall as Jasper, and wore Garnet's outfit, and Aquamarine's blue shirt with the star in the middle over it, and had the two gems of garnet on the two hands, and an Aquamarine gem on the right shoulder.
"Yes!" said the fusion, "Aquamarine, we should be called Tanzanite. I love that name so very much!"
The two then separated.
"Woah, I guess we unfused from all your excitement." said Garnet.
"I didn't really expect all three of them to learn how to fuse the first try." said Stevonnie.
Stevonnie then unfused back to Steven and Connie.
"Very good job you guys." said Connie.
"We'll have to try your Gem weapons as a fusion when you kids get older." said Steven.
"That was awesome!" said Amazonite.
"Why don't we order a celebratory pizza for your successful fusions?" said Steven.
"Pizza!" said Amazonite.
"I guess we can order a large pizza." said Connie.
"Let's go home and order a large pizza." said Steven.
Steven, Connie and the kids walked back to Steven and Connie's house, waving back at the Gems.
