At Sunflower Quartz's house...
Amethyst and Angel were sparing. Amethyst lunged towards Angel and went to punch her but Angel pulled out her shield and kicked her in the stomach.
Oof!
'Good Job Angy!" Sunflower chirped.
'Okay, You win this round Pinky," Amethyst chuckled.
Angel chuckled and helped her up.
'You kids wanna eat?" Sunflower asked.
'N'ah, I get my energy from my gem," Amethyst gruffly replied.
'I'd like to try this eating," Angel said in a curious tone.
Sunflower chuckled as Angel followed her.
'I have a few Strawberries in the back and also a few blueberries," Sunflower said happily.
Amethyst practiced her punching and kicking
'Uh, Sunny, You got anything I can practice on?" Amethyst asked.
'I've got this old scarecrow I've not using," Sunflower replied.
Sunflower gave her the scarecrow and went back inside.
'Great, Thanks!" Amethyst thanked her.
Amethyst punched the scarecrow and kicked it, she Then uppercutted it and grabbed it's arm, slamming it down she was putting it back up when she heard: 'Get her!" She sprinted to see what happening, 5 citrine's were surrounding a Pink Pearl.
'We have specific orders to bring you back Together or Shattered!" A Citrine guard growled.
'I don't want to be shattered! I just came into existence!" The Pink Pearl cried.
The Citrine growled and tried to punch her, but their fist was met with Amethyst's.
'She's. Not. Going. Anywhere..." Amethyst growled.
Citrine's metaphorical heart dropped to their stomach but they still tried to stay brave.
'Wh-Who do you think you are to interfere with Yellow Morganite's orders!?" The Citrine demanded.
'Velma Dingly," Amethyst sarcastically quipped.
Amethyst clocked her in the right cheek and grabbed her arm, she spun her around and let go, she was rocketed into the sky until only a star shined.
'You 4 stooges want the same treatment...?" Amethyst angrily trailed off.
'Ruuuuun!" The next Citrine shouted.
They ran and disappeared.
'You okay?" She asked the Pearl.
'Y-Yes, Thank you..." The Pink Pearl replied.
'Hey, No problem, You can live with us!" Amethyst gruffly remarked.
'A-Are you serious!? I Don't want to cause you trouble!" Pearl exclaimed.
'Hey, Don't worry about it!" Amethyst happily replied.
She led pink pearl into the house.
'Sunny! We have a new guest!" Amethyst shouted.
Sunflower and Angel went to meet Amethyst and Pink Pearl.
'Oh, Hi dear! I'm a Yellow Quartz but I like Sunflower Quartz better," Sunflower calmly chirped.
'I'm a Rose Quartz, but I like Angel better," Angel chirped.
'I am of your eternal service my quartz...es..." The Pink Pearl said, formally.
'Uh, Amethyst by the way, You don't have to work for us, let's just be friends," Amethyst remarked.
'I do need a little help around the house," Sunny stated.
'Why don't we all help?" Amethyst suggested. 'That way P here won't be the only one cleaning!"
Amethyst smacked her back in a friendly manner.
Pink Pearl stumbled to the ground.
'I think you were a bit rough on her Amethyst," Angel said.
'Oh, Sorry P," Amethyst nervously chuckled.
'P?" Pink Pearl asked.
'Yeah, It's a Nickname, I call her Pinky, and I call her Sunny!" Amethyst explained.
'Oooh! Nicknames are just a shorter version of a Gem's name?" Pink Pearl asked.
'Yes," Amethyst answered. 'Well, Sometimes,"
Angel and Sunflower giggled.
With Ruby and Blue Pearl…
They travelled until they heard a:
'UGH! I'm surrounded by idiots!"
They fell from surprise.
'What the cluster was that!?" Blue Pearl asked, startled.
'I don't know! But we'd better figure out!" Ruby remarked.
She rushed to the sound.
'R-Ruby! Are you cra-..!? D'oh!" Blue Pearl whisper shouted.
She reluctantly hid behind a Topaz and kindly signaled for them to be quiet.
'Who are you calling an idiot!?" Ruby growled
A blue gem with a thick but petite body wearing a blue suit with a white shirt below it also wearing white socks with blue slippers faced her.
'Uhch! A common Ruby soldier! Who do you belong to? I shall contact them immediately," The blue gem said, snarkily.
"I belong to me! And ME only!" Ruby sassily quipped.
'Very Funny, Who do you belong to?" The Blue gem quipped back.
Blue Pearl growled and got from the Topaz she was hiding behind.
'She belongs to me," Blue Pearl stated.
'The Blue gem's demeanor changed.
'M-My Pearl! My Shiny, Gracious, Beautiful P-..." The Blue gem tried to monologue but was cut off by Blue Pearl.
'Cut it with the sweet talk, shortstack…" She snapped.
As if a glass had shattered behind him he held in his urge to twitch.
'O-Of course my pearl," He stammered. 'What are you two doing here?"
'Our Commander got us lo-" Ruby stated but was rudely cut off.
'I was talking, to Your PEARL! NOT YOU!" He snapped.
Ruby's face darkened fighting her urge to shed a tear. Blue Pearl growled and grabbed him by his shirt collar, her face darkened as a blue star replaced her right eye.
'Look you little twerp, you will let my Ruby talk or I will. Have. Your. Gem...Got that!?" Blue Pearl lowly snapped.
The Blue gem fearfully chuckled.
'O-Of course m-m-my Pearl!" He nervously complied.
Blue pearl's face lightened up she pulled her hair up and glared at him.
'You better…" The softly growled.
Her face then became perkier as her hair covered her eyes once again.
'Ruby, Continue," Pearl stated.
Blue Pearl gave Ruby a quick hug, which made Ruby feel better enough to talk.
'Our commander got us lost, and we've been travelling for I don't how long," Ruby answered.
'Typical Ruby,Lacking in intelligence as always…" He snootily thought. 'Let me show you the way to the communications base"
'Thank you-..," Blue Pearl Trailed off.
'Aquamarine, Charmed" He replied.
With Sunflower, Amethyst, Pink Pearl and and Angel Quartz…
Sunflower and Angel was dusting the house while Amethyst helped with the heavy lifting.
'Pearl, Honey, Can you sweep the floor?" Sunflower sweetly asked.
'Of course," Pink Pearl responded, politely.
'Thank you, sweetheart," Sunflower chirped.
Sunflower gave Pink Pearl a broom,She accepted it and went to the living room,but then stopped.
Amethyst saw this and grew concerned,She put the wood down and walked to her.
'Uh P, I think she wanted you to sweep the floor," Amethyst reminded her.
'Oooh! Thanks Amethyst!" Pink Pearl chirped.
'No Prob P!"Amethyst replied, happily.
She went back to doing the woodwork, but 4 minutes later when Amethyst was almost finished her concern only grew when she saw Pink Pearl trying to sweep the floor with the end of the broom. A sweatdrop dripped from Amethyst's hair.
She walked over to Pink Pearl and tapped her shoulder.
"Amethyst?" She asked.
'Uh, P, You're supposed to use the other side of the broom," Amethyst said. 'Uh, You mind if I take that off your hands for a sec?"
A slight pause...An Awkward stare...
'Of Course not!" She chirped.
Amethyst sighed with relief and softly accepted the broom from her,She turned it to the right side and gave it to Pink Pearl.
'See? Way more efficient," Amethyst kindly explained.
'Thank you," Pink Pearl chirped.
'Hey, It's no trouble," Amethyst humbly replied.
Amethyst went back and finished her woodwork.
She then went back to Pink Pearl and looked shocked when she saw her staring at the dustpan with dirt in it.
She pointed to the trash can, she felt relief for a sweet moment but that moment was bliss for Pink Pearl had stuck her head in the trash can and lost her balance,Amethyst frantically yelped and caught her just in time.
She pulled her out the trash can.
'Okay..She's really starting to scare me…" Amethyst thought,her eyes widened.
'Uh, P, Could you give me a sec?" Amethyst asked.
A slight pause.
'Yes!" Pink Pearl chirped.
'Thanks," Amethyst replied.
Amethyst went to Sunflower and Angel, Sunflower had finished her half of the closet and was climbing down the ladder.
'Finally finished dusting," Sunflower chirped.
'Uh, Sunny, I have some concerns about our...guest…" Amethyst satated.
'What's wrong, Dearie?" Sunflower asked.
'She's having some...head problems…" Amethyst replied.
'Head Problems?" Sunflower asked.
'Yeah, Remember when you asked her to sweep the floor?" Amethyst asked.
'Yes,That's in my memory bank!" Sunflower half-Joked.
'Well hers seems to be wiped," Amethyst remarked.
Sunflower watched as Pink Pearl stared at the dustpan with dirt.
'Oh Dear, Let me get my human psychology book," Sunflower said.
Sunflower went to a door and put her hand on the hand shaped circle that was beside it, It scanned her hand and opened the door by itself.
She went in and grabbed a Yellow book with a number keypad on it,she put in a code and watched as the unlocked unlocked itself,She opened it and looked through the pages and stopped on one.
'You know why she's acting like that?" Amethyst asked.
'My Dear Amethyst, She seems to have a condition humans call Short-Term Memory/Short-Term Memory Loss" Sunflower answered.
'What's that?" Amethyst asked.
'It's the Inability to remember information for more than 30 seconds,They can remember something from 20 years ago or in this case 20,000 years ago but they can't remember what happened 20 seconds ago...This causes forgetfulness,confusion and difficulty focusing and or concentrating on the task at hand," Sunflower answered.
'Poor girl, Something must've malfunctioned whenever she emerged…" Amethyst trailed off.
'Well Darling, All we can do is love her, treat her like everyone else and hope for the best, we do have to keep an extra eye out for her though," Sunflower Sighed.
'Alright, I'm done with the woodwork so I'll keep an out for her while you two finish cleaning," Amethyst offered.
'Oh You're such a dear!" Sunflower chirped.
Amethyst blushed a bit.
'Hey, It's no trouble!" Amethyst humbly insisted.
She went to Pink pearl and kindly reenacted someone flipping the dirt into the trash can, Pink Pearl opened her mouth in an o shape and copied Amethyst,flipping the dirt into the trash can,Amethyst gave her a thumbs up and smiled.
With Blue Pearl and Ruby…
They followed Aquamarine and his many Topaz's but one stood out,She had her gem on the right side of her face while the others had it on the left side of their faces.
'Maybe you can do something competent for once," Aquamarine sneered.
Topaz teared up, Ruby and Blue Pearl looked up to her concerned and waited until he left.
'Hey, You okay?" Ruby asked.
'I-I'm fine…" Topaz lied.
'Alright," Ruby said, cracking her knuckles.
'N-No No No! Don't beat her up!" Blue Pearl Frantically whispered.
'I'm not gonna beat her up! I promise!" Ruby shockingly replied.
She lunged at Topaz as Blue Pearl "Gulped" but was surprised to see Ruby tickling her.
'Here comes the tickle monster!" Ruby happily exclaimed.
Topaz giggled and happily teared up to no end.
'Sto-...St-...ahahahahahahahahaha! p-pl-...St-Staaahhhp! Okay Okay! I'll tell you what's wrong!" Topaz submitted,
'You happy?" Pearl asked.
'Yep! I'm happy!" Ruby proudly answered.
Ruby hopped off of Topaz as Topaz stood back up and dried her tears.
She sighed.
'Our Boss he..he insults us...If we even make one mistake he barks at us and berates us...And I can't take it anymore!" Topaz cried.
Blue Pearl shed a few tears and rushed to her,She gave her tight embrace and started sobbing with her.
'Tch, Ya bunch of crybabies," She said in Tsundere-like manner as she rolled her eyes.
2 seconds later…
'Come here ya big lug!" Ruby cried.
She was hugging Topaz too.
They cried together.
'I-...I appreciate your Empathy but...But I think we should probably atleast let eachother go," Topaz professed.
'Y-You're Right," Ruby said, letting go and drying her tears.
Blue Pearl tried to dry up her tears but shed one more before they completely dried up.
Aquamarine came back.
'Shh! He's coming back assume your positions!" Topaz whisper shouted.
She stood tall and her face stoic once again,Blue Pearl faced away as did Ruby.
'Alright,we need to find a way to Escape, and to take her,with us!" Ruby whisper so Aquamarine couldn't hear.
'What!? Are you crazy!? We'll be cracked for sure!" Blue Pearl Frantically.
'Oh Heck No! He can poof me! But he's NOT Poofing you or her! NOT ON MY WATCH!" Ruby almost whisper growled.
Blue Pearl blushed a blue tint.
'Alright, I'm in, What's the plan?" Blue Pearl asked.
'Whenever we get to the communications room we'll see a little escape pod every Communications room has one incase of emergencies,well, accept for the diamonds since they can pretty much fend for themselves,So what we'll do is ask for Right-Gemed Topaz to guard us as "Extra Precautions" so that after we communicate with Blue Diamond we can sneak her off the ship!" Ruby replied.
'That's Brilliant, Ruby! You're so smart!" Blue Pearl whisper chirped.
Ruby's entire face became a slightly darker shade of red.
'W-Well, I was the leader of my squad," Ruby stated.
'Here's the Communication Room! I apologize for it's...lack of room but I hope it'll due," Aquamarine said.
'It will due," Blue Pearl replied. "I would like for her, to guard us to make sure we are not disturbed,"
'Of Course," Aquamarine chuckled.
He then used his water wings to fly to Topaz and whispered:
'Make sure you don't screw up this one..you incompetent pebble...or I'll have you shattered…."
As if hit with a shooting star she hid her urge to hyperventilate and complied with a "Yes Sir…"
Ruby lowly growled as a vein mark appeared on her head.
'I'll see to it that you're not disturbed," Aquamarine chirped as he bowed.
Topaz followed them into the room.
Blue Pearl Opened the Communication Device and put in the code White,Yellow,Blue, Pink, led her to 4 diamond shaped Icons but one was crossed out, it was Pink.
She tapped on the blue one and waited until Blue Diamond to appear.
Blue Diamond took the camera and gasped with delight.
'Pearl! I'm so happy you're safe! But, Where's Agatha?" Blue Diamond chirped.
'My Diamond,She showed Incompetence and Fear whenever a corrupted gem aggressively approached us and tried to force the Ruby guard to fight them alone,The situation became so dire that I had to put her in her place,in that moment of weakness she tried to choke me and allowed the monster to blindside her and throw her a far away distance,We tried to find her but to no avail," Blue Pearl explained.
Blue Diamond's eyes widened,her fists clenched.
'How dare she harm a member of my court...I'll be sure to tell Yellow Diamond about this,She'll know what to do with her," Blue Diamond snootily snapped.
'Yes, My diamond," Blue Pearl replied.
Blue Diamond ended the transmission, Blue Pearl turned to Ruby.
'Is it Ready?" Blue Pearl asked.
Ruby had already gotten the code in and gave her a thumbs up.
'Topaz,could you show us how that escape pod works? Blue Diamond wanted us to escape in there," Blue Pearl lied.
''Uh, Sure," Topaz complied.
Topaz opened it and was surprised whenever Ruby and Blue Pearl pulled her in with them,Ruby put in the code to close it.
'You close it!?" Blue Pearl frantically asked.
'Yep!" Ruby replied.
'Wh-What's Going on!?" Topaz asked,Frantically.
'No Time to explain! Just hold on for the ride!" Blue Pearl exclaimed.
'Here we go! Hold on to your non-existent boots! 3..2..Ooooooonnnnneeeeeeee!" Ruby shouted which was extended when the mini pod launched and soared from the station entirely.
