Steven was ecstatic! The gems were leaving for a long mission which meant he could delve deeper into the past, he cracked open book number three.
"Ugh, Pearl what are you doing?"
Pearl was cleaning some of the things on the beach, "Cleaning! Greg showed me how to do it, it's such a fun thing to do! And it makes this place look less like a bear cave." Amethyst smiled, "Oh you mean like-" Amethyst started to glow as she changed form, "this?!" As expected she shape shifted into a large purple bear, Pearl dropped the duster she had found somewhere, "Amethyst! What have I told you about shape shifting?!" Amethyst laughed, "Come on Pearl! Give momma bear some honey!" Amethyst started walking towards Pearl, "You wouldn't dare!" Amethyst smiled with her sharp teeth, "Oh but I would!" "AMETHYST"
"Hm. Something strange is going to happen at the temple? I can't see it quite clearl-" Garnet stopped dead in her tracks, "Oh hey Garnet! You want in this bear hug?" Pearls head popped out of her arms, "SAVE YOURSELF GARNET!" Garnet sat there knowing that the two best things she'll ever experience even she can't really predict, "... Sure."
Rose and Greg were walking around the city, "So Greg, what do you want to talk about?" Greg scratched the back of his head, "I don't know. I'm not that interesting." Rose laughed, "Well I disagree." Greg chuckled a little, "Well what your dreams? Didn't you want to be a big musician?" Greg sighed, "Yeah, I wanted to be the best musician in the country. I remember people made fun of me for it all the time." Roses face fell a little bit, "Oh, really?" Greg laughed, "Yeah this one guy even wrote your music sucks in my year book, and he signed it on behalf of the entire world!" Rose looked horrified, "That sounds terrible!" Greg shrugged, "Comes with the territory, I'm pretty happy though." Rose's had a confused look, "Why is that?" Greg looked up at her, "Well Vidalia told me she made preparations for that tape she took of the concert we had on the beach. She's gonna send it to my home town so they can play it at my highschool reunion, so one day I'll be able to show them I made it big." Rose stopped walking, "That's... Wonderful." Greg had a confused look on his face, "What's the matter?" Rose slowly looked up, "You've given up so much just to be with me, and I-I haven't given anything..." Greg put a hand on her shoulder, "Hey come on! You have totally given! You've been treating me more as a thinking individual compared to some toy." Rose choked back a couple tears, "That's not really giving is it though?" Greg paused trying to think of something to help console her, "Look everything is fine the way it is." Rose looked Greg in the eyes and grabbed his hand, "Then let me do something for you! Or let me give you something! Anything!" Greg chuckled, "You don't have to do or get me anything." Rose had pleading eyes, "... Fine, I'll drop it for now. But if you think of anything tell me." Greg nodded, "Got it."
After a little while of walking Greg turned his head to look at Rose, "Hey I thought of something." Rose smiled, "Oh really? What?" Greg look towards the sunset and held her hand, "I always... Wanted a kid."
