It was a hot day on Homeworld. Gems were working on new technology and gemlings played outside. There were training days for young gems at a certain age. And today was one of those days.

"Alright, you need to concentrate. Summoning your weapon isn't hard, Topaz." Jasper said. She tried training Topaz on her own. Topaz had to be trained or else she would be destroyed. And Jasper would lose her rank to Yellow Diamond. Jasper had to impress her with Topaz if she was going to get a higher rank.

"I'm trying! Aunt Jasper, why must I fight? I don't need to summon my weapon if I have my talking skills. You know I can talk fast and confuse my oppenents." Topaz asked. She looked at Jasper smiling.

"Topaz... Please just try it once, for me." Jasper said. She walked over and tickled Topaz. This would work, Jasper knew it would.

"O-okay! I will try! J-j-just stop t-tickling m-me!" Topaz said laughing.

"There." Jasper said as she got done tickling her.

"Okay! I'll try!" Topaz said. She giggled at Jasper's concentration face. Then her gem began glowing. "My gem-!" Topaz yelled with pure excitement.

"Try summoning your weapon!" Jasper yelled.

Topaz reached back towards her gem. She pulled out her orange nunchucks. "I did it!" Topaz yelled.

"That's my Topey!" Jasper said as she hugged Topaz. "Now let's go show Aunt YD."

"Aunt YD? Who's that?" Topaz said. She was swinging her nunchucks while Jasper put her on Jasper's shoulders.

"Uh... Aunt Yellow Diamond. You'll like her." Jasper said entering the building. The building was where Yellow Diamond was located during the day. Jasper walked up to a white gem working behind a counter.

"Welcome to Homeworld's Command Center. Do you have an appointment? And if you don't, I can gladly help you make one." Quartz said.

"Uh, no I don't. Can you please tell Yellow Diamond that Jasper is here with big news?" Jasper asked.

"Yellow Diamond is certainly busy right now. And it seems that I can help you make one. Our next available appointment is in 1,394 years. Care to make one?" Quartz replied.

"Can you please just tell Yellow Diamond that Jasper is here with Topaz Citrine?" Jasper said becoming impatient.

"Fine." Quartz leaned over to the intercom. "Miss Diamond, there is a gem down here claiming to be a Jasper who has big news about a Topaz Citrine."

"Send them up." Yellow Diamond replied.

"You can go up." Quartz said. She pointed to an elevator that was made out of glass.

Jasper walked over to the elevator. She hit the button and they went up to Yellow Diamond's floor. Jasper quickly put Topaz down.

Jasper and Topaz walked into a huge room. There was a desk in the middle with yellow chairs around it.

"What is the big news, Jasper? I was just getting ready to take over another planet. We need more gems grown." Yellow Diamond said. She didn't look at Jasper or Topaz.

"Topaz Gem 3,689 has learned to summon her weapon. She can summon it through- er- happiness." Jasper replied. Her voice went cold and mean. It wasn't the voice that Topaz was used to.

"Oh, she did. Let me see." Yellow Diamond turned around to face Topaz. "Summon your weapon, now."

"Wh-what?" Topaz was scared. "Aunt Jasper, what's going on?"

"Aunt Jasper?" Yellow Diamond looked at Jasper.

"The runt calls me that but I can't stand it. She thinks I'm her mom or something. Summon your weapon, Topaz Gem 3,689." Jasper said. Her voice still cold and mean.

"I-I'll try..." Topaz stuttered. She thought of Jasper tickling her earlier. Then she summoned her weapon. "I did it."

"Good. She should do it whenever, not by happiness. But, it's a huge step for her. Make sure she can summon it whenever by next week. If she doesn't, I'll have her destroyed. As for you, you have went up a little bit on your rank. A litt bit yet and you'll reach the next rank. Just... Keep training Topaz Gem 3,689." Yellow Diamond said.

"I will. Thank you, your highness." Jasper bent down before grabbing Topaz and leaving.

As they left the building, Topaz began crying.

"Topey, what's wrong?" Jasper asked.

"You! You just called me a runt! And a Topaz Gem 3,689!" Topaz replied crying even harder. Jasper grabbed Topaz and hid behind a bush.

"I did that so Aunt YD won't get mad. I won't ever call you that again. I promise." Jasper said.

"You promise?" Topaz asked sniffling.

"I promise." Jasper said. Topaz lunged out and hugged her tightly.

"Let's go home, Jasper." Topaz didn't feel like calling her "Aunt" anymore, at least for now.

The two gems walked home in silence.
