"Wow, the sunset along the beach is wonderful isn't it, Emerald?" Jewel said, holding her lover's hands that were gently placed along her waist.

"It sure is," Emerald said, kissing Jewel's cheek.

The two kissed on the lips as the rest of the setting sun disappeared on the ocean. California was a new place for the two, but they thoroughly enjoyed being there. They spent a week travelling the West Coast and ended up in the warm state of Cali.

After the sun had dropped into the sea, Emerald and Jewel made their way to the hotel they were staying at. Emerald ordered some fancy food and the two packaged it up for Azurite. The two gems danced in their room to some kind of beautiful music.

"I love you, Emerald," Jewel said, slowly leading Emerald to her left.

"I love you too, Jewel," Emerald said, "That's why I married you."

Jewel chuckled as she was lifted up and spun around several times. Emerald threw her into their bed and lay next to her, placing her head on Jewel's shoulder.

The two snuggled until the sun came up. Emerald kissed Jewel's cheek as she opened her blue eyes.

"Good morning, Emerald," Jewel said, tiredly.

"Good morning to you to Jewel," Emerald communicated, "Today is going to be a busy day isn't it?"

"Yeah," Jewel said.

The two stretched and exited the hotel room, walking down the corridor. Eventually, they reached the pool and switched their lounge outfits to swimming suits. Emerald shoved Jewel gently into the cold blue water and jumped in next to her.

When they had finished swimming around, the two decided to go to the National History Museum. Jewel looked at all of the exhibits, trying to learn something while Emerald followed her and asked her questions. They came across a small gem that looked similar to a Tiger Eye. Jewel placed her pale fingers on a crack that it had and healed away. It started to glow and float into the air.

Emerald pulled Jewel back as it started to form a body. She formed armor on her hands and got ready to defend her lover from harm.

A long-haired pale gem with stripes all across her body stood in battle formation, "Azurite! Where are ya! I found a human…"

Emerald growled as Jewel held onto her arm, "Who are you? How do you know Azurite?"

"I am none of yer business, Azurite is my leader," the gem said, pulling out a long sword.

"You are our business now," Emerald communicated.

"Okay, well just so ya know, I am pretty powerful for a Tiger Eye!" the gem said, waving her sword.

"You just told us who you are but whatever," Emerald said as Jewel pulled out her spear.

The two ran out of the museum doors, leading Tiger Eye out into the open. Emerald punched her lightly several times to test her strength. Jewel launched light as Tiger ran around, evading most of her shots.

"We have to strike at the same time, she can deal a lot of damage but her defense is fairly bad," Emerald communicated.

Jewel nodded and the two lunged at Tiger Eye, knocking her on her butt. They struck her at the same time in the head and the gem on her shoulder clattered to the ground as she poofed.

Emerald bubbled her and sent her upwards, "Hey Jewel, do you know where all of the gems we defeat go to?"

"Not sure," Jewel shrugged.

"Oh well," Emerald sighed, "Let's continue our vacation."

"Yeah, let's," Jewel said, wrapping her hand around Emerald's waist.
