"So uh rose wanna help me with the tune?" Rose smiled and sat next to Greg. He played a few notes, asked about her opinion, but it all ended with them laughing remembering amethyst transformed into a stork while doing impressions of pearl. "My, my mr. Universe I didn't realize you knew so much about me." Greg felt a little nervous, "Well I had a liitttle help." Rose looked up with a confused look on her face, "Who?" Greg felt sick saying it out loud, "Pearl." It's not like he hated her or anything, he just thought she could try to treat him like a human being... Or at least how one human being treats another human being. Rose starting giggling, "So you and Pearl got together to write this?" Greg decided not to add in the part about Vidalia, "Yeah we spent at least an hour or so writing it." Rose started laughing, "Hey now! Don't go making me jealous!" Rose joked, "Hey no need to worry! We just have a common interest is all." Greg leaned in when, "Oh sorry am I interrupting something?" Pearl said. Smooth. "Getting a bit sloppy on your time there Pearl we almost kissed." Greg said sarcastically, "Well that's your fault for trying it in public." Rose smiled, "But Pearl we're on the beach nobody cares!" Greg smirked, "Almost nobody cares..." He said it under his breath, rose didn't catch it but Pearl sure did, "Yes well rose, garnet and amethyst need our help fighting some... Giant hand I think they said?" Rose got up, "Of course work first then fun. Bye Greg!" Greg put on a goofy smile and waved, "byyye..."
At the gas station...
"Hey Vidalia! I'm here for our regular hang out time!" Of course. No response. Probably waiting to try and scare him again. He walked to the usual room when, "MARTY?!" Marty looked over slightly frustrated, "Oh well look who it is! Mr. Universe, the cosmic kid, star child! The bailer." Marty said very bitterly, "Whoa, calm down man! It's just Greg!" Vidalia said in her usual seat, "Vidalia what's... HE doing here?" Greg asked avoiding eye contact, "Well I need to tell him something. And I'm kinda glad you're here too... I'm pregnant..." All Marty and Greg could do was look surprised, "WHAT?! Oh no I am not dealing with this!" Marty said bolting out of the room, "Eh he'll calm down... Probably." Greg looked at her concerned, "I hope so... Soooooo. Baby on the way that's uh... That's great!" Greg said nervously, "Yes, and you're the father!" Greg eyes grew to the size of dinner plates, "That's impossible we never-" Vidalia started laughing, "I'm just pullin' your chain man." Greg laugh nervously, "So I'm guessing Marty?" "Yes." Greg reassured her everything was going to be alright. All the while praying this kid didn't end up screwed up beyond repair, "So... You wanna be the God father?" Greg smiled, "Sure." They talked for an hour or so before Greg started to leave, "Hey! You still owe me a song!" Greg shouted back, "Yeah I know!"
"Well that was fun!" Amethyst said as they teleported back home, "Oh hey girls." Greg said tuning his guitar, "Oh Greg! I have a surprise for you!" Rose grabbed his hand, "You're going to perform the song at a concert on the beach!" Greg has felt scared plenty of times, like his first day of Highschool, almost falling off a motorcycle when he was seventeen, or that one time he walked in on the girls fighting a giant monster on the beach. But never in his life has he felt such pure honest fear like now. "Really?! That's.. That's great!" Rose smiled, "Oh I knew you'd be surprised!" Greg laughed nervously, "Well you know me..." Rose got up looking a little sad, "Sorry but I have to go with garnet to take care of something. Bye!" Rose said waving to Greg, "Bye..." Greg sat there waving when he felt something on his lap, "A... Cat?" The cat stretched and yawned, "Would you keep it down I'm trying to sleep!" Of course. Amethyst. "Hey what's with making me your bed?" He said petting her, "Well I wanted a nap *yawn* besides... I need to go see Vidalia... Hey be a friend and carry me there." So that's what she wants, "Fine I just want to get something to eat first." Amethyst was fully awake and transformed back into her regular form, "FOOD?!" Oh boy.
At the fish stew pizzeria...
"Ah welcome to the fish stew pizzeria! Nice to see you again!" Greg walked over to the counter, "Same to you Kofi, I'll have three large pizzas with everything on it." Kofi looked confused, "having a party or something?" Greg laughed, "Nah, I'm just here with my friend." Greg pointed at amethyst, "Three large pizzas for one man and a little girl? Aw what do I care so long as I get paid!" Greg and Kofi laughed before heading to a table.
At the gas station...
"I can't believe you!" Greg yelled at amethyst, "What?! all I did was get more pizza!" Amethyst shouted back, "Yeah, you ate his entire stock and didn't have any money!" Greg yelled sternly. Amethyst blushed from embarrassment, "The pizza wasn't even that good anyways..." Vidalia finally chimed in, "Alright, so how's big bad Kofi getting his money?" Greg sighed, "I promised to give him all the earnings from the concert." Vidalia perked up with interest, "Concert?" Greg fell back in his chair, "Rose booked a concert for the metal song..." Silence. "... Pft... Hahahahahaha!" Both Vidalia and amethyst burst out in laughter, "Didn't you already know anyway?" Greg asked amethyst, "No haha I was... Haha, asleep on your lap... Hahahahahaha!" This 'journey' just keeps getting better...
Almost the end! Stay tuned!
