Chapter 13: Fusion Dance
Beach City
It was five days after the dance at Evergreen Valley Middle School, and Turquoise was sitting on the beach with Caesar.
"You know," said Turquoise, "I don't even know your last name."
"Jefferson, Caesar Jefferson." said Caesar.
"Could you show me some more dance moves?" said Turquoise.
"Sure." said Caesar.
Caesar and Turquoise both stood up.
"First, the twirl." said Caesar, "Now, I hold your hands, I raise one of them up, and you'll spin around once, try it."
Caesar held Turquoise's hands, raised one of them up, and Turquoise spun. Turquoise then went crazy and started dancing like there was no tomorrow.
"Hehe, I thought you wanted me to teach you some dance moves?" said Caesar.
"I'm just in the moment." said Turquoise.
Caesar started dancing as well with Turquoise. Turquoise felt so alive dancing in the sand. But just then, Turquoise's gem started glowing. Turquoise accidentally bumped into Caesar, and then it happened. A blinding flash appeared, and from it appeared a tall figure. The figure had long bushy black hair, with twirls in the back. The figure wore a large black coat, with a green shirt with a yellow star under it, and wore blue jeans, and had ballet shoes on. The figure also had Turquoise's gem on it's forehead.
"What happened?" said the figure, "Oh my god! Turquoise, what happened?!"
The figure looked down at it's feet.
"We...we fused." said the figure, "Fused?! What's fusion, is that a Gem thing? Yes, fusion is when two gems are able to sort of phase into each other, and their body and mind become one. I gotta show the others."
The fusion then started running over to the Universe Residence.
Universe Residence-A Few Seconds Later
The fusion of Turquoise and Caesar had arrived at the Universe residence. The fusion put it's hand on the doorknob and took a deep breath. The fusion opened the door and walked in. Connie was in the kitchen, making dinner. Connie heard the door open and close.
"Ah, Turquoise, you're back." said Connie, "So, any new dance moves you could show u-"
Connie turned around, and what she saw freaked her out, causing her to drop the plate she was holding. The plate smashed onto the floor. Footsteps could be heard walking down the stairs.
"Connie, what was tha-"
Steven looked to the fusion in confusion.
"Mom, dad, it's me, Turquoise," said the fusion, "I accidentally fused with Caesar. Hello Mr. and Mrs. Universe."
"Turquoise?! You fused with Caesar?!" said Connie.
"Are you mad?" said the fusion.
"What? No, it's just, this is incredible. I'm so proud of you, Turquoise."
"Just like when me and your mother fused all those years ago." said Steven, "What shall we call you? Hmmm, I know! How about Turqsar?"
"Turqsar?" said the fusion.
"Well, it's the best combination of your names I can think of." said Steven.
Amazonite and Aquamarine walked down the steps.
"What's going on?" said Amazonite.
"Turquoise fused with her friend Caesar." said Connie.
Amazonite saw Turqsar, and bursted out laughing. Amazonite was laughing hysterically, his loud laughs could be heard anywhere in the house.
"This is so hilarious!" said Amazonite.
"Woah, awesome." said Aquamarine.
"Your brothers are a handful huh?" said Turqsar, "Yeah, they can be."
"You two remind me when me and Steven first fused." said Connie, "Ah, memories, precious memories."
"Maybe we should unfuse now." said Turqsar.
"No no, you just fused, you need to have fun with this new fusion, have a great experience." said Connie.
Steven then walked over to Turqsar.
"Turqsar," said Steven, "you are not two people, and you are not one person, you are an experience, make sure you're a good experience. Now, go have fun!"
"You're right dad!" said Turqsar.
Turqsar then opened the door, closed, it, and started to jump around.
"Precious memories." said Connie.
"I know," said Steven, "it puts me to tears."
Beach City-A Minute Later
Turqsar was running through Beach City, jumping around.
"Hey, I have an idea." said Turqsar, "Let's see how good swimmers we are fused together."
Turqsar then jumped into the water on the beach. Turqsar started swimming rapidly. Swimming and swimming and swimming.
"This is so fun." said Turqsar, "So alive!"
Turqsar then swam back to the shore. Turqsar was now soaking wet, their bushy hair now going down their back and over their face. Turqsar fixed their hair.
"I'll fix the twirls later." said Turqsar.
Suddenly, the ground started shaking violently. Turqsar looked around in confusion.
"Uh, what's going on?" said Turqsar, "I don't know."
Suddenly, in front of Turqsar, a serpent-like figure emerged from the sand. It looked like a giant green snake, and it had a green gemstone on it's tail.
"What is that?!" said Turqsar, "It must be a corrupted Gem monster. Is this really what the Gems fight nearly every day? Yep, pretty much. Don't worry, I shall summon my sword, and we shall fight this thing."
Turqsar surrounded their two hands around their forehead gem, and a sword appeared.
"That's your sword? It's awesome!" said Turqsar, "Thanks, now let's take this monster down."
Turqsar then charged forward at the Gem snake monster, and slashed at it's stomach. The snake monster charged it's head forward, ready to bite down on Turqsar. Turqsar dodged the attack and took another strike with her sword at the snake monster. The snake monster reeled in pain. While the snake monster was overwhelmed by the pain, Turqsar jumped up and slit the snake monster's throat.
The snake monster fell onto the sand and exploded in a cloud of smoke, it's green gemstone laying on the sand. Turqsar quickly ran over to the gemstone and bubbled it, then transporting it back to the temple.
"That...was...awesome!" said Turqsar, "Is this really your life? Yes. Your life is so awesome."
Turqsar then yawned.
"Well, I'm pretty tired, and dinner's almost ready, we should unfuse now." said Turqsar, "Well, okay."
Turqsar then unfused back to Turquoise and Caesar. Both Turquoise and Caesar laughed.
"Well, I better be going." said Caesar.
"Wait." said Turquoise, "I just want to say one thing. When we fused together, I've never felt so alive, and when we were fused, I saw how great of a person you actually are, it made me feel...better about myself."
Caesar smiled. Caesar was just about to speak. But then, Turquoise ran over to Caesar, her lips meeting with his. It was all so sudden, so sudden that Caesar's mind and heart was racing. Turquoise kept her lips locked with Caesar's for another few seconds before finally separating her lips from his. Caesar looked to Turquoise in surprise. Turquoise just smiled.
"Bye." said Turquoise, who turned around and started walking back to the Universe Residence.
Caesar just stood there. He had only known Turquoise for five days, he didn't expect Turquoise to just kiss him like that, but it warmed Caesar's heart.
A spark had gone off in his heart.
Ship it, I dare you.
