Jimmy : You knew?!
Rachel : And you didn't think we should know?!
Greg : First, didn't know you didn't know. Second, is it my fault he looks as fancy as you?
They wanted to continue but when looking at each other, they did feel a bit proud.
Jimmy : W-well can't say you're off.
Rachel : I AM proud of his charms but still fo you know anyone else who'd have that kind of relationship?
Greg now wondered if he should tell them about Rose, Quartzes, and Zoomans... Or about Clarence Yellowtail's dad although he knows little on that department too..
"Looks like you two didn't change that much"
The pair then found another old friend of theirs.
Rachel : Well if it isn't Sara the bone face?
Jimmy : No kidding. You look bigger than previously..
He got slapped at the back of his head from Rachel
Rachel : He meant with your hair! Your hair which is as fluffy as ever.
She plays with it a bit like a pillow making her blush a little.
Pryianka : First off, nice to see you too. Second, Sara is my middle name not the nickname I especially prefer bones on screen not on my face.
Jimmy : Oooh how serious. I wonder how Wirt lives with that?~
Pryianka paused on that for a moment or two before answering
Pryianka : I... no, I'm not with Wirt. Not anymore. Haven't seen him for years really.
Jimmy : Really? That's… fine too… I guess.
Pryianka : It's fine, we had our time once. But times changed. I now have a family of my own, Doug is doing what he can and so do our daughters.
Rachel: Ouh yes we've seen Connie! She's a smart adorable one! I don't think I've seen the other one though.
Pryianka : Oh yeah, we adopted Nora shortly before Connie was born. Her father died in accident, and her mother was nowhere to be seen. So Doug and I took her in, she came here to celebrate what Connie calls the 'Geman Union'. My colleagues wanted to come too but in that case who'd be looking over the hospital.
Doug joins in
Doug : So what are you talking about here?
Jimmy : So you're Doug? Nice to know ya, we should take a drink sometimes moving forward since we'll be here for a while.
Doug wasn't sure if he should answer on that.
Doug : Drinking too much gets you in accident.
Rachel : Wait where's Greg? *sigh* looks like he wandered off while we didn't look.
Greg : Geez kiddo, they found out something. And they aren't delighted.
Jamie : I know Mr Universe. I feel uncomfortable you get punches for me.
Greg : Nah if anything, I really am in need of teaching responsibility as I'm told lately. Looks like as a dad I'm not really a good example...
Jamie didn't know what he meant by that, but his line of thinking was that it a family matter between him and Steven only.
Jamie : I don't know what to say other then wishing you good luck. Sometimes we learn later than needed.
Greg thinks 'Even when it's too late?'
Greg : Well yeah thanks, I'll be going. Schtu-ball looks like he needs some support now after a flop on the stage.
Jamie nodded rubbing his nose again from previously
He then gets surprise jump from Spinel behind him
He tried hard not to gasp as his back scar is irritated
Spinel : Peek a boo!
Jamie : Spinel whats wrong with you?
Spinel : Oh you know the usual~
Her reflection didn't go anywhere for long this time
'See what a surprise without surprise'
Spinel *whispers* yeah yeah stay out of this. So! How does your nose weight?
Jamie rubbed his back as he sighs
Jamie : Lighter in comparison, thank you Spins.
Spinel : Spins?... You came up right that yourself or someone told you? Where's your danger Noodle now heheh~
Jamie : Ha ha. You look more uplifted than before too.
Spinel : ... Yeah, I have you to thank really.
Jamie : Ah again, let me guess my nose distracted you?
Spinel : Heheh no no although that too in part worked. No , I wanted to say... Thanks for not letting me down back then. You know with rejuvenator...
Jamie : Ah that, I didn't think erasing one's memory wasn't the solution there. Steven gets it now.
Spinel : Yeah, he is very protective of me... 'Well for a reason'... But nothing like a reset button though. And again thanks for helping me there and being here too. It means a lot.
Jamie : Sure thing. I'm glad to see you're making acquaintances...
Spinel remembered that one quite peridot 'That one is still getting on my nerves, wonder where she is now'
A few moments later a screen projection appears yet again throughout the palace
Surprised was Spinel when the very peridot she remembered appeared on screen
Minutes ago
Greg : Hey Schtu-ball? How are you holding up?
Steven : Heh been doing better.
Greg : Ouh.
Steven : No no wait I'm fine. Sure I got tired a bit but that's what I get for ball management. 'Plus some nightmares which don't let me to flucking sleep'
Blue Diamond : He does all this for us and Spinel. You and Pink had a wonderful hybrid child, loving and kind.
White Diamond : Even to his own wellbeing, he is trying to give each of us all the time he can.
Yellow Diamond : I will admit "Greg", I didn't think a human could lead a gem but you are not bad.
Greg : Okaaay. First off, I agree with Blue partially. Secondly, I hope your "schedule" has time to sleep and rest Steven And Yellow, I led him only half his life and much of the rest goes to the gems really...
Steven still had bad taste in his mind from that trip to his grandparents... His dad wasn't any better either.
Steven : Yeaaah, well okay let's now okay think of the important stuff. Looks like we won't have any unwanted guests here. Rogue gems don't seem to appear, Riot isn't here either so...
Greg : Can I ask who is that and how bad is it either him? I've been away so I need some catch up.
White : Ah yes, we too would like to hear more from you Steven.
Steven mentally slapped himself. What was wrong either his head?!
He knew he forgot something but about this?!
Steven sighs "Alright, so we have two threats. One is a rogue gem that tried to kill Spinel, they failed luckily but luck may not be there forever... and then there's a shady guy called Vincent Riot, a human by appearance but possessed abilities of strength equal to a Quartz like Jasper with additional power to transfer to different locations. Nothing like we seen before"
White : Steven! And you failed to tell us beforehand? If that humanoid can simply enter this palace , how would we protect our Stardust?
Blue : Calm down White, Steven did all the work not to ruin Spinel's ceremony. I don't think mentioning a shatterer ups the 'party mood'
Steven : That and maybe because I don't remember. My mind was getting messier recently and with those rejuvenation devices influencing influencing my gem, my memories may have been blocked. Who knows what else I forgotten to mention?!
Yellow : Wait what devices do you mean? Did something happen?
Greg : Ouh boy do you have amnesia at this early age already?!
A screen projected above everyone showing a peridot that Steven have not seen before
Nevertheless many looked up in curiosity to see what does she have to say
"Greetings to all gems and humans on Homeworld. I am Olivine, and I wish to show you something peculiar about the main representatives of this union ball"
Ooops this doesn't sound very good does it?
Like always trouble unexpectedly lands on their heads.
