Tetras P.O.VThe trip to this city was taking far longer then I expected, Chrysolite was constantly talking about these space ships that she planned on creating for the empire. And her little friend- 'What was she called? Snine?' Eh I can't remember, i'll just call her Tiny. Anyway she was also yapping about these ships that apparently meant a great deal to the empire we apparently serve.
"Uh, so, what do I do exactly?" I asked for either one of them to answer. Chrysolite seemed to think about my question for a second before replying. "Well... For now, nothing." I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion, nothing? "So... What, I'm just supposed to stand around and look pretty?", "For NOW, you are assigned to Chrysolites laboratory.", Said Tiny before she continued, "But after we manage to construct the space traversing vehicles that the Great Diamond continuously pesters Chrysolite for, then you will be getting your own assignments from the Diamond."
I grumbled as I rested my head against my palm, "Sounds boring..." I flinched after I noticed the suspicious looks I was getting from the two other gems. "Whats with the sudden change of attitude, Tetra?", Chrysolite said, one of her eyebrows could be seen behind her glasses, assuming she raised one in suspicion. "U-uh, no reason..." I turned away from Chrysolite to stare out into the endless barren wasteland that is our home planet, I could still feel Tiny's hard glare staring into the very minerals of my gem, did she know what I was feeling?
Suddenly a light flashed in the distance, temporarily blinding me; I blinked a few times before squinting back, I was surprised to see a humongous city, sprawling with gems of different colours, shapes and sizes. I was in awe of it all; the buildings that seemed to stand taller then the sky, the glimmer each and everything had... But I was mainly thankful for it saving me from an awkward conversation. "Ah! we're finally here!" Chrysolite said happily with a smile, she turned to me; both her hands balled up into fists with excitement as she held them up in front of her, "I can't wait!" I laughed, this childish excitement was a new sight, but a welcomed one nonetheless, "What's gotten you so uppity, Chrysolite?" Tiny asked, looking up from her finger screen thing, Chrysolite seemed happy to deliver an answer, "Well, if all goes well and Tiger's Eye is ranked, then we can finally finish off our initial goal; Emerva ; and send the Prototype off for its first flight! It'll be a historical moment for all of gem kind!".
Chrysolites genuine excitement seems infectious, Tiny cheered along with Chrysolite while I sat there smiling- pretending to have any idea of what's going on in the slightest. The moment quickly died down as we neared the city, shadows of glimmering towers covered our hovering vehicle, I glanced out the window once again, getting a clearer look at the gems I had spotted from afar, they seemed to have noticed me and were just as surprised to see me as I was them, suddenly, a look of excitement grew on their faces as they started to cheer and wave. More gems appeared shortly and before long a group turned into a crowd, they waved while shouting an array of welcomes and compliments. I waved back gingerly, "What's their deal?" I asked, waving at another Ruby. "White Diamond has informed the empire of your creation, she believes you are destined to be ranked Unique, as such the gems shall treat you like a hero." said Chrysolite, sounding like she's dealt with this stuff before, which in all honesty, she most definitely has.
"Oh." I said bluntly, our vehicle approached a strange looking building, wierd circular disks stuck out seemingly at random all around the exterrior, it looked like a small palace of sorts. "Adventurine? Park us at the entrance. That'll be all needed from you for now." Chrysolite said, leaning forward to better project her voice, a thumbs up was stuck out from around the front of the hovercraft with a quiet 'Of course', "Wait what? There was a gem there the whole time?", "Duh." Said Tiny, "How else would it know where to go?", Chrysolite opened a door and exited the vehicle with Tiny on her shoulder, shortly being followed by myself, "I dunno, you guys seem very smart so I just thought it drove itself?", Tiny opened her mouth to reply, but Chrysolite beat her to it,"Thats... Not a bad idea." I looked confusedly at Chrysolite, "Huh?"
