"No... no... NO!" Greg said as he threw the notebook across the beach, Greg sighed as he picked up the notebook. "Ugh, dark hearted unicorn? No, pitch black flowers? No, my favorite flavor is death... Absolutely not, This is impossible."
Earlier...
"Ok rose what do you want in the song?" Greg asked rose pencil ready, "Hm, well unicorns! And flowers! And puppies! And anything colorful! *gasp* like a rainbow! Ooh ooh also ice cream!" Rose said excitedly, "I lament the day I let you have a taste of my ice cream." Greg said half-joking, "hardy har har, so do you really think you can make a song out of all this?" Rose asked "Oh I know I can, piece of cupcake." Greg said confidently "Haha, you're adorable mr. Universe." Rose said hugging him, "So I've been told."
Back to song writing...
"Ugh... I need some help."
Greg approached an old abandoned gas station, why she always insisted on meeting of all places he would never know. He walked to the back room inside was a cloaked figure in a candle lit room, "Hail traveler, what business do you have with me?" Greg rolled his eyes, "Vidalia we meet here like every Tuesday." The figure stood up revealing there was something else in the room, "How dare you refer to me with an earthly name, demon attack this pathetic fool!" A shadowy figure formed in front of Greg screeching, "Amethyst I know that's you, I can see your gem." Amethyst transformed to her regular self before slapping Greg, "Fresh!" Greg grimaced while rubbing the spot where she hit him, "Whatever commander buzzkill." Vidalia said putting her hood down, "so what's up comet?" It was a nickname she labeled him with since they met, "I need help writing a metal song for rose." Vidalia gave out a small chuckle, "Alright Greg! Welcome to the dark side." Amethyst said while sitting and eating some chips she pulled out of who knows where, "Yeah she gave me some 'key points' for the song." Greg handed over the piece of paper to Vidalia, "... You do realize I'm not a miracle worker. Well, not a free one anyway." She said with a smile that scared the living day lights out Greg, "... What do you want?" Vidalia tried hiding her smirk, "I want you to write the most disgustingly lovey dovey song for me." Gregs jaw dropped, "WHY?!" Vidalia broke out laughing, "because it'd be hilarious! Besides isn't it worth seeing rose so proud of her little universe?" Greg thought to himself for a second, "... Fine." As Greg was leaving he heard Vidalia call his name, "Yo Greg! Give me some details on her personality and whatever! I can't go off of nothing you know!" Will this even be considered metal? Greg decided not to think about it too hard.
As much as he hates to admit it, he really didn't know rose. But he knew someone who did, "Hey pearl! Listen, I have a favor to ask..."
"And just exactly why would I help you?" Pearl said bitterly "Because then I can give you credit for helping." Pearl perked up at the thought of getting recognition from rose, "So, what is it that you need my help with?" Pearl asked avoiding eye contact, "Well to write it I need to know Rose's personality, things she wants to hear, ect." Pearl thought for a moment, "Fine, but I have to say I'm surprised you don't expect me of foul play." Greg smiled shaking her hand, "Oh I know a knight of your caliber wouldn't dare think of something like that, besides you'll never sabotage something with your name attached to it." Pearl smirked "Touché."
On the beach...
"Ok so give me some basics." Greg said ready to get some actual progress done, "Hm, well she's... Amazing, always looking at the beauty in such ugly things. And she has always-" Greg was amazed he's never seen this side of pearl, and he knew she meant every word because she didn't take the opportunity to insult him, "and she's just an incredible leader!" Greg quickly got in on it too, "Oh and her hugs and kisses!" Pearl had a look on her face like she was in a dream, "Like an angel graced us with their presence." Greg had the exact same look, "And her voice! It's like hearing heaven gates opening." They got lost and soon gained their composure when they realized they were leaning on each other, "AH! Geez thanks pearl now I'm going to have nightmares!" Greg screamed brushing off his cloths, "At least you can escape into sleep, I have to be haunted by it every second that passes!" Pearl said shivering, "Anyway you think we have enough material?" Pearl stood calm as ever, "Yes I think so." Greg decided that was his chance to leave.
At the run down gas station...
"Here's the material." Vidalia took it from his hands, "Ugh geez man! I'm gonna get a cavity from all this sweetness!" She said with a disgusted look on her face, "Hey we had a deal-" Vidalia shooed him off, "Yeah, yeah. Just have the song by Friday." Greg sighed knowing what he had to do, "Do I really have-" "Yes." Vidalia said not even letting him finish. This better be a good song.
