Authors note: hello, sorry I've been a bit inactive but I've not been feeling very confident in my righting skills. I keep putting my fanfic skills down because I didn't think I was good enough but I REALY nice review put me out of that funk and here I am ^^

enjoy the chapter (perinaldo banter is the best banter!)

Ronaldo impatiently rubbed his temple in annoyance "he is a human NAMED Steven and I am a human NAMED Ronaldo!"

"Sooooo identity crisis?"

The irritated blogger face palmed with a groan "no!"

"So are you telling me that a humans name has nothing to do with there place in Society?" Peridot questioned with a bewildered look on her face.

The question raised a lot of questions but the Fryman nodded.

"But how do-" peridot was cut of by a loud knock at the door and panic over took her face as she dived under a pile of blankets in the corner. Seeing the gem was hidden Ronaldo rushed to the door. "Who is it?"

"It's me Steven! Can I come in I brought connie by the way." Ronaldo relaxed at the familiar cheery voice only to tence up again at the mention of connie. "Is she to be trusted Steven?" He asked as he peeped through the keyhole to see the two kids at the entrance alone.

"Of course!" The half gem exclaimed "I tell her stuff like this all the time! I trust her with all my secrets!"

Connie blushed at the comment and raised up the bag she was wearing, "I brought books?" She offered shyly.

Ronaldo slowly opened the door adjusting his glasses "mmmmm... You may enter."

As the two kids rushed in, Ronald's eyes were drawn to a tetrahedron shape bump in the blankets were he saw peridot hidden before and sighed, walking over to the bundle.

"Ok peridot it's safe and you may want to work on hiding better for next time I can see you under there." With a tug of the blanket, Ronaldo reviled peridots hiding place but under the covers was...

"A cactus?!" The three exclaimed in unison. They stared as the plant was engulfed in light, shifting into the familiar green gem who sat proudly on the floor.

Peridot turned to the unfamiliar human in confusion as she extended a hand and introduced herself.

"Hello, my name is Connie, I'm I friend of Steven it's very nice to meet you peridot."

Peridot looked at the humans hand blankly. "Why are you showing me your arm?" She asked. Steven chuckled in the background.

"It's how we politely introduce ourselves silly!" Steven exclaimed. "Wow! So you can shape-shift into a cactus? That's so cool!" His eyes shone like stars as he remembered the events of two weeks ago. "*gasp* wait, you were the weird cactus at the communication hub weren't you!"

Peridot sweated nervously, "uh maybe?"

She was. She couldn't forget that hiding plan if she tried, all those nights staking out the hub waiting for a response from the homeworld, the constant fear of being found by the crystal gems. She shuddered at the memory and opened her screen to check for any sign of response. Until she saw the three Stare at her tech with fascinated diamond shining eyes. She grunted in annoyance.

"Ugh! Do you clods mind!?" Peridot snapped at them, losing her patience.

Connie shyly looked away while Steven and Ronaldo continued to stare. "Wow!" Ronaldo exclaimed, "how do you do that? Is that like a laptop in your hand? HOW DO YOU CHARGE IT?"

The green gem was taken aback from the bombard of questions but was amused at humans reaction. "Oh it's just my tech, I should of expected you stupid primitive humans to be impressed by it." Peridot bragged to the still in awe human who was quickly typing on his phone. "It's powered by my gem like most other tech on homeworld in an efficient and renewable way, I read in my sources that you humans still use your limited supply of liquidated ancestors to power your earth 'technology'."

Ronaldo raised his finger in a mater of fact way "actually we are currently studying and testing alternative power sources like wind power and solar power." He countered making peridot smirk at the challenge.

"That would make sense to invest in that, but tell me... Do those methods help contribute to, I dunno, DESTROYING YOUR OWN PLANET?"

"Oh snap she went there" Steven whispered as he and connie relocated there seats to see the display better.

"Oh yeah? Well... They don't and that goes to show were trying to look after the planet unlike YOUR KIND AND THEIR PLANS!" Ronaldo playfully challenged as Steven and connie cheered and ooooooed in the background

"Pfff please, what do you know human?"

"More than you might think"

"Oh REALY? Then tell me, why am I here and what are our plans for this place? I could use a good laugh."

Ronald's glasses shone in the dim light as the theorist smirked "your here... Because the diamond authority sent you to earth to assist in there plans to hollow out the earths core for transportation of the planet!"

Everyone's jaw dropped as silence filled the room. The proud conspiracy theorist smirked with pride at the stunned gem before him.

"Now what was that earlier about "stupid primitive humans" peridot?
