Welcome back! Steven Universe belongs to Cartoon Network and Rebecca Sugar.
"My name is Nathan." The boy said.
"Hello Nathan." Garnet replied
"Can I call you Nath? Its a cool nickname!" Amethyst wondered out loud.
"Hello Nathan, I have some soup for you, it will help you heal." Pearl kindly explained whilst setting up a mini table on his lap and placing the soup on it.
"Thank you..." Nathan murmured as he went to sip the soup.
"Be careful! it's hot!" Pearl cautioned. Nathan replied by stopping and started to blow gently on the soup surface. As soon as he took a sip he felt tremendously better.
Maybe they are being serious... but that doesn't explain why they look and sound like the Gems... I need a doctor to check on me. I'll just deal with it for now, I guess its kind of cool. Its pretty unnerving to think that they don't look like that in real life. He proceeded to finish the soup, feeling awkward under their gaze. He seemed suprised at how nice the soup was and began to tuck in realising he was ravenous. Thinking back, Nathan realised he couldn't remember much. He remembered his family in the Uk and he was just re-watching the early episodes of Steven Universe...! He had just started to watch the episode 'Cheeseburger Backpack' and then he heard a noise out his window, there was a huge thud and someone entering his room, then a bright flash and extreme pain... then nothing...? He couldn't remember what they looked like nor what happened after. He started freaking out again.
"Yo, Pearl what do we do?! He's hyperventilating! WHAT DO WE DO!?" Amethyst screeched worried. Pearl was softly speaking to Nathan to calm him down.
"Hey, its okay. We are here, we wont hurt you. We protect humanity!" Pearl cooed. At her words he began to breath even faster. She didn't know what was wrong until Steven moved her out of the way and said to him.
"Hey, Nath. We won't hurt you, we will try to do whatever we can to help." his words seemed to sooth him.
"Okay... okay... I need to wash, please." They were confused for a moment till they saw the state he was in. Garnet went to pick him up but he insisted he walked. Somehow he knew where the bathroom was but they just assumed he had seen it when he woke. They helped him down the stairs, he didn't resist help there, and he walked to the bathroom. He went in and locked the door. A minute later they heard a scream.
"AAAAGHH! WHAT THE HECK!" The gems rushed in after, forgetting the door was locked.
"Nathan! Whats wrong!" Garnet shouted through the door. There was no response for a while.
I... I... I've got a a GEM?! A DIAMOND no less! How- How wha?! This doesn't make sense I thought I could deal with this! I was just going to Sho- "Nath! Dude, we cant help you if you don't tell us whats wrong!" Amethyst proclaimed.
"No! Get the hell away! I can't deal with this! Its too much!" Nathan cried out.
"I'm coming in!" Garnet announced. She then kicked down the door after checking her future vision to confirm he wasn't behind it. She then stopped, slack-jawed at the sight in front of her. Nathan was on the floor and... had a Diamond gem!? She was for the first time at loss at what to do. Pearl had a explosive reaction. Pearl then screamed. "HE'S A DIAMOND! HE WAS JUST SHAPE-SHIFTED ALL THE TIME! POOF HIM...HER... IT!" Steven and Amethyst were completely oblivious at why they had such extreme reactions to Nathan having a diamond gem, Steven had thought it was pretty cool but was appaled at what Pearl had said and jumped in front of Nathan to protect him.
"NO! HE HAS DONE NOTHING WRONG!" He yelled.
"ITS A DIAMOND! ITS EXISTANCE IS WRONG!" Pearl countered. Steven was shocked to hear those words coming out of Pearls mouth. She wasn't evil? Surely she had a reason for this? No! I will protect him! Steven stayed where he was. Eventually Nathans voice pierced the tense atmosphere.
"Give me a chance please. All I remember is being home, then someone entering my room and a bright light and searing pain! Then all of a sudden I'm here!" Nathan exclaimed. Garnet cut in.
"We will give you a chance... Nathan..."
"What!? You can't let it off!? Garnet!?" Pearl screeched.
"My decision is final, Pearl." Garnet asserted. "Now lets give Nathan some privacy. He needs to wash and I have broken the door." Then she left, Steven and Amethyst following, then Pearl begrudgingly went last. Finally alone, Nathan began to take a shower whilst thinking over the events of the past couple hours...
"OH NO! THE SEA SPIRE!"
If you're wondering why I chose my gem to be a diamond, it has nothing to do with the Homeworld diamonds or the power it posses, its merely because it's my birthstone! =D Thanks for reading! Please review! Constructive critisicm is allowed, hate posts are not tolerated.
