Disclaimer: I do not own anything, expect the OCs. This is just a story for fun.
On planet Olympia, Peridot was finishing up a couple of projects in Techmo's workshop. The projects in question were a large green mech robot with a crab like design Peridot had dubbed the Peribot and a large drill with four spider like legs on the side. Peridot enjoyed tinkering and building and she was very proud of what she made. Lapis, Mimi, and Jeff entered the workshop and Peridot went to greet them.
"Hey Peridot, we were fixing to explore the city a little bit. Care to join us?" Said Lapis.
"I would be happy to join you." Said Peridot.
The little group left the workshop and headed towards the city.
A few miles outside the Capitol and the city, Jack was in the clearing of a forest with his Jack-O-Bots. The trickster villain was still feeling a bit down by his defeat at Django's hands and he was trying to come up with a plan to get back at him. Jack zapped the ground a few times with his scythe a few times to try and make a horrible plant monster grow. However he was down in the dumps and wasn't feeling too creative, so the only thing he did manage to grow was a small pumpkin with four stubby legs, two pumpkin seeds for eyes, a carved mouth, and a stem for a tail. The little pumpkin ran around and barked like a dog. Jack was annoyed and dismayed by his latest creation, so he just decided to head back to the Shard to sulk and try and come up with a new plan. The villain and the robots left by flying into the sky together and the little pumpkin just ran into the woods to explore.
Up in the atmosphere the Shard was approached by a medium size round ship with a pointy top. Hookocho contacted the ship with the communication computer screen demanding to know who was aboard and what their business was. The gem, Aquamarine appeared on screen and said she had been called upon by Jasper to assist and aid with the invasion of Olympia. Jasper appeared on the bridge of the Shard and confirmed that she did summon Aquamarine for help with a special project. Aquamarine's ship docked with the Shard and Jasper went to speak with Aquamarine. When Jasper arrived in the hanger, she saw that Aquamarine wasn't alone. She was accompanied by a large fusion gem named Topaz. Jasper could tell Topaz was a fusion because there were two gemstones on her body. Topaz's gemstones are on both sides of her head, where ears would be. She had light yellow hair in a short, flat top-like fashion, yellow skin, and a tinted orange visor that covers her eyes and the sides of her head. Her eyes were brown. Topaz's outfit consisted of a maroon vest with Yellow Diamond's insignia, a mahogany top underneath, and dark brown bottoms that covered her feet. She had a large, broad, and muscular build with relatively short legs and large, powerful arms, a square head, and chin.

"Hello Jasper. I'm here to fix your blunder, with my amazing skills, and my associate Topaz." Said Aquamarine with an arrogant smirk as two butterfly wings made of water appeared on her back and she flew over to Jasper.
Jasper gritted her teeth a little, but managed to resist the urge to attack the small gem.
"I underestimated the warriors of this planet in the past. I have learned from my mistakes and plan to take my revenge on the leader of this world. To do that I need power. Power I can get by fusing with a gem called Lapis. The problem is getting Lapis to fuse with me and keeping her from turning her powers against me once we're fused." Said Jasper.
"Well now that shouldn't be too much of a problem. My skills can help work things between you two." Said Aquamarine.
"Good." Said Jasper with a nasty grin.
Back down on Olympia, in the city, Mimi and her group had come across one of the city gates. Mimi wanted to explore the woods outside and after a brief talk with the guards and telling them they wouldn't go too far, they were allowed to go out. The little group moved out taking in all the sights and beauty of the forest, when all of a sudden they all heard a rustling sound from some bushes. Out came the little pumpkin Jack had created. The pumpkin came running up to the group barking playfully. Mimi thought the pumpkin was the cutest thing she ever saw and smiled and petted it. The little pumpkin seemed to like this and it let Lapis, Peridot, and Jeff pet it.
"What exactly is this thing?" Asked Lapis.
"Well it's a plant called a pumpkin. They normally don't move around, so this must be a special pumpkin." Said Jeff.
"Pet?" Asked Mimi giving Jeff big puppy dog eyes as she held the pumpkin.
"Alright we can keep it as a pet, but we need to name it and keep good care of it." Said Jeff.
The group thought for a few minutes and then Mimi came up with a name.
"Pumpkin."
"Short, but I think it works." Said Jeff.
"Simple." Said Peridot.
"I like it." Said Lapis.
The newly named Pumpkin barked in agreement.

The group took their new pet back into the castle. Mimi insisted Pumpkin was a girl, before they gave the pet a bath. Soon night fell and after giving Mimi a bath the group retired to the room they shared. Peridot did a log date for the day on her tablet and then cast a glance at her friends who were either sleeping or reading a book. Peridot smiled at the little peaceful scene. She enjoyed being with these people and she truly felt like a real part of the group. Peridot then turned her tablet off and went to her bed to lay down as she thought of more things to build in the future.
To be continued.
