Pearl heard the clock ticking, she has been lost on her memories for the past half our, and she snapped out of her memory just to see the clock had advanced to indicate it was 10:33.

"Oh!" Pearl gasped in surprise, she already wasted half an hour on her thoughts, not thinking in her assignment.

"That memory… is so valuable." She looked up at the portrait of Rose Quartz that was above the door and said "I can feel you… every time I`m around him…" Pearl opened the door and left the house.

She gazed at the beautiful scenario that stood right in front of her, every time the sun touched the sand in the beach, it would reflect the light as if the beach was full of little crystals, and the water was so clear and blue, she could see everything below the sea from the house.

The sun was almost at its top spot and the whole sky was a bright blue, Pearl sighed at the view and stretched her arms, and when she started walking downstairs she heard laughter that came from the other side of the temple where the fence used to be.

She could see three teenagers walking towards the house, even though she did not know her names, she could recognize them from that time Steven found Peridot`s ship.

The three teenagers saw the gem and pointed at her "Look!" said the girl. Pearl recognized her voice; she was one of the daughters of the owner of the pizza business but could not remember her name.

"Oh! Its one of Steven`s moms!" Pearl blushed at the thought of people thinking the gems where Steven`s moms, because even though the gems looked after Steven most of the time, they only considered themselves as guardians.

"Oh! Hi!" Pearl replied and jumped towards the visitors landing right in front of them. "Wow!" "Cool!" "Impressive!" the three teenagers said at the same time, they had never seen such jump that close.

"How may I help you?" Pearl said to the visitors and asked for their names.

"My friends call me Sourcream." "Buck Dewey" "I`m Jenny, I`ve been here before remember?"

The gem nodded and asked again "I´m sorry, but why are you here?" The three beings that stood in front of her looked at each other "We are looking for Steven" Said the man with the shades.

"Oh I`m sorry but Steven went out on a mission and won`t be here until late."

"Aww" "bummer" "too bad!". They all said in disappointment and thanked Pearl.

Pearl said goodbye, but then, an idea came to her head "Hey wait!" The gem cried to the teenagers, ran to them and declared "I need your help…" The three guys looked at her confused and asked "What do you need?" "Its Steven´s birthday tomorrow and I don`t know what kind of gift I must give to him."

"Is it Steven´s birthday tomorrow?" "Is he throwing a party?" "Should I bring my own ice?" Once again they all talked at the same time, and Pearl was starting to think that, somehow, they might be synchronized.

"Yes, Steven`s birthday is tomorrow, No, we are not having a big Party, we are just having a family dinner at 8 P.M. and there is no need for solid H2O." Pearl tried to say patiently, she felt like her time was running out with them.

"So can you give me some suggestions for his gift?" Pearl insisted once more. "Wait, how come you don´t know what kind of gift should be given to Steven? Aren`t you like his mom or something?"

Pearl blushed once more, but this time it wasn´t because they said the gem was his mother, she blushed because Jenny was right, Pearl has been living with the little boy for the past decade and could not figure out what the boy would like for his present.

"Well…" The white gem tried to explain but could not give an excuse.

"It`s ok Ms. Gem we can give you some ideas!" Sourcream said with a determined look on his face "You could give-" The light skinned boy was interrupted by Buck when he asked Jenny "Wait… you said you were here before?" "Oh yeah! It was when the afro lady crashed into my dad`s business roof and he was so mad! HA HA!"

Pearl had lost her patience, if she was going to get a gift before her team returned from the "Mission" she had to ask the good people of beach city for help, but this trio wasn`t going to help her. "Well, thank you anyway…" Pearl bid farewell and ran towards the city.

Sourcream saw this and told his friends "I think she got tired of us…" The other teens turned around and saw the white gem run towards Fryman`s fries. "So I guess we should come at 8 tomorrow night huh?" Jenny turned to her friends and smiled at them.

"Didn`t you hear?" Sourcream protested "We can`t come, its family and saviors of the Earth only!" "Yeah man…" Buck added "But we are Steven`s friends! We can`t let him be on his birthday all by himself! Besides, we were the ones that got him ungrounded, he owes it to us." Buck said with his cool voice tone.

"Then its settled!" Jenny cried in determination "We are turning this party upside down!"

A/N: Oh jeez… guess there is not stopping the cool kids! I only wanted to thank you guys for the constant support you all have given me! And I`m going to finish the "Surprise!" Special (Pearls memory) a little bit later on the story so don`t feel like I skipped a chapter! –LumbarRouge8
