Note: This is my first story, please, please, just don't write rude comments, I was a bit mad on the first chapter. I am sorry, if you have a review to write for this story, or any story, please post nice and/or helpful ones. Thank you.
"I guess we'll buy it." Steven said, smiling, he watched as Pearl looked around the small shops, at strange objects, such as a rusty bike that self-peddled, and a candle that lifted itself up, and lighted any hall, never burning out. "You know what," the Teen said, "since you but a lot of stuff here, I'll give you these for 99% off!" "Are you sure? I mean, that's heavy equipment there, and your store doesn't get alot of customers until summer." Steven said. "I'm sure. You have helped me in customers, and, I was the one that mailed that Wacky Sack to you." Davis said. "What? So that didn't come from Wacky Sack?" Steven said, surprised. "Never-mind that. I'll be coming, along, just in case." The Teen winked at Pearl, and Pearl nodded back. As they left the weird store, Davis flipped the sign from "Open! Come in!" to "Back Whenever" before leaving then, locked the door that had posters of weird and magical oddities.
As they walked on the Boardwalk, it seemed like no-one was there, no people, no boats, no animals, nothing. Just a thick, smoky gray, eternity of a fog. "Doesn't this seem... I don't know... weird?" Pearl asked. Amethyst nodded slowly to her. "It is strange, but it's nothing compared to the Great Gem Fog of 467 B.C., that was a really bad fog." Davis said, walking through the almost endless fog. Steven, surprised said, "How would you know about that? I thought you're just a regular teen." Pearl, almost excited, said, "Well, Davis may look human, but..." and before she could finish her sentence, Amethyst yelled out, "He's just like us! Isn't that cool?" "Is this true, Davis?" Steven asked curiously. Davis stopped, as if to think about it, and said, "Yes, it is true, I am a Gem." Steven, in disbelieve, said, "Then, can you show me your Gem?" Davis turned towards Steven, and removed his left hand glove, leaving his right on still on his other hand, looking kind of strange, and there, on the back of his hand, was a shiny red, almost chrome, Ruby. "But how?! But why?!" Steven asked curiously and excitedly.
Pearl, now truly excited because she was about to reveal Gem History, said, "Well, in the Great Gem Wars, Davis, or Ruby, whatever you want to call him, was one of our Greatest Generals, but, we were almost defeated, and the enemies we fought against were Gems that thought they were too good for us, but the truth was, they needed us to survive. Ruby secretly led out his troops to the enemies base, and placed what Humans would call a "Bomb" on their base, and set it for 2 days, when the highly explosive weapons were being delivered. But, Ruby and his men were caught, but they didn't find the bomb. Ruby and his men were doing everything they could, trying to dig holes, trying for any way to escape, but then one day, a Guard forgot to lock the door to their cell, and so they snuck out to the warp pad, and used it to get to our base, just before the bomb went off. Ruby watched from our base as the enemies base was blown up, watching everything that happened. But, it turned out that there was a spy for the enemies of our side, and she discovered the truth behind the demise of their base. After the war, even though the enemies lost, they were hunting to get back at Ruby, and so, to help himself from being harmed he gave up his regular Gem form and made himself look like a human, still keeping his gem, and he still hasn't been caught." Pearl finished, calming down from telling Steven that major piece of gem history.
Yes, I know it's kind of long and short at the same time, I don't have much to write sometimes, it's kind of weird, but in chapter 3, I am going to say something that's a bit of a spoiler, one Gem is forced to retreat to her/his gem.
