Hey everybody, I know it's been a while since I posted a chapter of any story but I'm been busy. Anyway I've decided to write one or two more chapters of this until I can think of another topic for future chapters.
Chapter 5
It was a Saturday afternoon when Pearl, Garnet and Sardonyx packed up the picnic stuff and situated at the park. Sugilite and Opal met up later and after them arrived the others who had brought their own things, even Steven and Connie were there with Rose and Greg.
"Who wants to play Frisbee with me?" Jasper asked everyone.
"Frisbee? What are we, 3? I have a better idea, I brought a football" Sugilite replied pulling it out her bag.
"Even better, the kids can have the frisbee. Let's play" Jasper exclaimed excitedly.
"Let me guess, you played football in highschool" Opal deduced.
"Yep, best defense in the state" Jasper answered.
"Not bad, but I was the quarterback of my highschool football team and the only one who could catch my passes was my wide receiver" Sugilite replied.
"Well let me try and catch it then, I promise you I can do it" Jasper said determined.
"If you say so, I advise you to go long" Sugilite replied stepping back with the football in hand, she watched as Jasper ran far away from the others, "that's good right there!" She yelled. She cocked her arm back and stepped back before throwing it towards Jasper, when everyone looked at Jasper they saw her running farther away before she finally and caught it with one hand. Jasper feeling brave threw the ball back just as hard and it flew right to Sugilite who caught it easily, Jasper ran back to everyone and stopped panting.
"How was that? Told you I could catch it" Jasper replied.
"Well you really did it, I'm impressed with you. No one has ever caught my passes before, I think we could both be friends" Sugilite laughed holding her hand out.
"Yeah, we should join each other in our work-outs" Jasper answered back shaking her hand firmly.
"Let's not go that far, you may have caught my pass but there is no way you can handle my workout regiment" Sugilite replied.
"I'm pretty sure she can run farther than you Sugilite, she may not be able to lift as much as you but she'll be fast" Opal answered.
"I'm going to go play with Connie and Steven" Sardonyx exclaimed following the other two kids.
"Don't stray too far you three! Stay where we can see you!" Pearl exclaimed.
"Excuse me? Sorry for interrupting but I wanted to talk to the woman next to you" a guy replied walking up to the group.
"You mean Garnet?" Pearl asked.
"Yes, she's the one who quit kickboxing. I wanted to speak to her about an opportunity that came up" the man answered.
"Okay, I'll be right back" Garnet replied standing up and following the guy a little far from the group, "so who are you and what do you want to talk to me about?" she asked.
"I was walking past the gym one day and saw you training some people, I looked on my phone to make sure it was you and it turns out you were. A spot just opened up in a secret underground kickboxing arena, the amount of money you win out of that place is enormous" the man explained.
"I don't kickbox anymore, sorry" Garnet answered.
"But I know you miss it, you can do it secretly without no one knowing about it. I know you don't want to teach kickboxing but go back to it again, if you ever change your mind then here's my card. Call me when you want to make some real money" the man replied leaving.
"Hmm that was strange" Garnet replied looking at the card, "Mr. Zack, I'll have to think about it" she replied to herself before slipping the card back in her pocket and walking back to the group.
"What did that guy want Garnet?" Opal asked.
"Just asked about my kick boxing career, I told him I don't do it no more" Garnet answered.
"You never did tell me why you quit kick boxing, you were really good at it" Opal replied.
"That'd when I was still in college, me and Pearl decided to start a family and I didn't want to spend my time kicboxing when I could be with my family. So I gave up on it and just settled for teaching other people it, it was safer that way as well" Garnet explained.
"I see, I knew it was good to put trust in you that you would be there for my baby sister" Opal replied patting Game net on the shoulder.
"I am not a baby anymore Opal" Pearl exclaimed.
"You may be older now but you'll always be my baby sister" Opal said ruffling Pearl's hair making her squak in complaint.
"Oh Pearl, you're just so funny to tease right Garnet?" Opal asked.
"Yeah, it can be a riot sometimes" Garnet answered.
"Whose side are you on? You're suppose to be defending me here" Pearl exclaimed.
"Heh sorry, just having a little fun is all" Garnet chuckled.
"Mommy! Mama! Look what we found!" Sardonyx exclaimed. In her hand was a hurt puppy who had a big gash on it's leg and it was bleeding a lot.
"Oh the poor thing, who would do something like this?" Pearl asked taking the puppy and putting it on the blanket as she took out a first aid kit.
"Horrible people is who, I swear people of this earth need to respect the life on earth" Opal replied.
"I'll have to clean and then wrap it up" Pearl replied putting some peroxide on a rag and dabbing at the gash then she wiped it clean and took a bandage wrap and wrapped the dog's leg.
"Can we take him home with us Mommy?" Sardonyx asked.
"Well I don't know sweetie, he is a stray. He would need shots and a bath, what do you think Garnet?" Pearl asked.
"Well we can't leave him like he is, let's take him home and treat him until his wound heals and then we'll see if he can stay or not" Garnet answered.
"I'm fine with that, as long as we help him ai'll be happy whether we keep him or not" Sardonyx replied, she sat on the blanket and petted the puppy on the head.
"You two are wonderful people" Rose exclaimed.
"We're just suckers for puppy dog eyes" Garnet replied.
"I guess we are, let's eat the lunch and then sit here until the sun goes down so we can watch the sunset together" Pearl suggested.
"Sounds like a plan to me" Opal replied.
"You better not have eaten my half of the basket Amethyst" Jasper replied.
"No you still have your side, although I was considering it" Amethyst answered making Jasper pull the basket away. Sardonyx was happily eating her bento box while sneaking a couple of peices to the puppy while she thought no one was looking.
"When did you guys start eating bento boxes?" Opal asked.
"A girl at my school brings one to school all the time, one day she brought one for me and we ate it together. I came home and told my parents about it and they said they would try it" Sardonyx answered.
"It's quite easy to make and healthy for you too, I looked up a couple of recipes online and I liked them" Pearl added.
"I just eat it for the healthy part" Garnet responded. After lunch everyone sat watching the sunset, Sardonyx was sitting in Garnet's lap while Pearl leaned her head on her shoulder.
"Today has been amazing, I'm glad you quit kick boxing so we can have days like this all the time" Pearl replied quietly.
"Yeah well I'll do anything for my family, if it means making you guys happy" Garnet replied back, shereached into her pocket and felt the card. 'Maybe I'll just check out the scene before deciding anything' she thought to herself. After the sun went down everyone went home and went to bed except Garnet who stayed awake thinking about the man today.
