"Can one of you guys explain how to summon a weapon?" Holly's expression suddenly became cheery.

"I'll go first!" She said in a singy-songy voice.

(And suddenly they were at a tree, right now, not being written in later:)

Holly gently held a pigeon in her hands, showing it to the young gem.

"Now, Pay attention to this birb, Kevin." She began to explain, "Do you see the pattern and designs of it's feathers?"

"Um, Yeah?"

"Good. Now while you may think this pattern is at random, it's actually a very delicate form of evolution that his species has spent Millions of years trying to perfect and use to identify themselves from other birbs... If you work hard, and dedicate yourself, you master the powers of your gem and create your very own pattern!" After finishing her speech, Holly proceeded to summon her blaster, showing it to Kevin. He didn't understand as well as he would've liked, but appreciated her advice non-the-less. He picked up a feather that had fallen off the bird at some point and left the area.

(Time-skip brought to you by Milton's Milton Factory, 'Don't go to Mory's, he only makes Morys...)

Kevin sat outside of the doughnut shop. staring at the feather, studying it's details. Making sure to get a good look at every nook and cranny.

"Did Holly tell you the pigeon thing?" a voice asked. Kevin looked up to Dan standing above him.

"Yeah," The boy confirmed, "I need to perfect my form so I can paint immortal 'birbs'... I think."

"Listen Kevin..." Dan explained, "Practicing is important, but you need to still have time to mess around. Take me, for instance: I'm a Gem by day, sexy Jewish rock-star by night. And I also sometime's destroy things." Dan proceeded to summon his katana and throw it at a nearby dumpster. The blade sliced the metal container in half.

"-See? Took it seriously and still had some fun with it." Kevin tried his best to process the information. Until a scream zapped him back into reality.

"What did you shag-heads do to the rubbish container?" Caddie yelled. The two grumps ran off, not wanting to get into more trouble.

(Shoulda Rolled...)

Kevin stopped by the arcade to catch his breath. He'd split up from Dan a while back and had no idea of the singer's whereabouts. When his stamina finished returning to him, He noticed two familiar faces leaving the game-house.

"H-hey! Arin, Suzy!" He managed to catch the grumps attention. They stopped to let him catch up to him and explain his predicament.

"So, Holly was too explanatory... And Dan was too straight-forward." Suzy questioned.

"That sounds about right." Arin noted, "Anyway's- do you want our explanation on weapons?" Kevin nodded. Arin distanced himself a little was from the young boy and his wife.

"Okay... Now say something that will irritate me." He instructed.

"Umm... Skyward Sword was a good game?" Kevin tried. Arin's gem began to glow and soon his signature hand-cannon formed around it and fired a lemon at a random object.

"How did you do that?" The young gem asked.

"I channeled the anger from that comment you made and focused it into my gem, then I just sorta let it out... You didn't really mean that thing about Skyward Sword, Right?"

"No. Of course not... So, How does Suzy summon her weapon?"

"Pretty much the same way... But with a Flail instead of a cannon."

"Can I see?"

"Sure!" Suzy then proceeded to summon her flail, throwing it with the scream of an amazonian warrior...

Unfortunately the flail hit an arcade machine, smashing it into a million pieces and causing it to burst into flames. The three gems watched as the fire became bigger, Sirens entering their ears...

"Remember the last 10 seconds of our life?" Arin asked.

"What 10 seconds?" Suzy replied.

"Good to see we're on the same page then." Kevin stated as he began running once more.

(This sounds like a result of bad writing.)

Kevin made sure to close the door when he entered the house, even though he wasn't sure if anyone was following him. The boy slouched on the couch next to Ross, who was playing on his 3DS.

"Hey Ross, how do you summon your weapon?" He asked. Ross simply pulled his shovel out of the gem on his forehead without much effort.

"So.. How did you do it?" Ross shrugged.

"I've never really had much trouble summoning it. It just sort of happens."

"... Goddammit Ross."

"KEVIN TRON ABERNATHY!" A voice rang, "Just because we swear, doesn't mean you can!" Barry looked down at he young grump in disappointment. Kevin let out an annoyed groan.

"I'm just... Why can't I summon my weapon like you guys?"

"Kevin," Barry sighed, "Learning how to summon your weapon takes time. I had a lot of trouble with it when I was about your age."

"Well how did you figure it out?"

"Well, I'm not sure I could recall it now... But I guess i just realized that I needed to protect the people I care about. I tried a few different things, and when those didn't work I kept going."

"So I just have to keep practicing until I figure something out?"

"Yup!"

"Do you think re-creating what happened the last time would help?" Kevin asked hopefully. Barry seemed confused by his words...

"I guess it wouldn't hurt to try."


I was gonna write more, but I kinda ran out of steam towards the end... well that and I have to focus on these other non-GG things I'm doing

I appreciate feedback if you guys have any so, please leave reviews.
