          There is a cave, not too far from beach city, its in the open but no one has ever seen it or even entered it, so no one knows what is in there.

         Fortunately for all the curious people, a young boy by the name of steven will soon find out...

          "Steven!"  A pearl called out "Yeah?" was the response she received, "Be careful okay? i dont want you to get hurt!" "Come on pearl, Steven is old enough to protect himself yeah? lighten up!" an amethyst laughed, making the pearl scoff "yes i know that but you can never be too careful!". While they were bickering, the boy went downstairs only to be greeted by a fusion: a garnet "hello steven, going out for an adventure? good luck" she said patting the 16 year old's head earning a smile "No, im just going out for a walk garnet" "okay good luck!" With that steven left.

          Steven was glad he left, he needed some fresh air and.... some time away from the gems, oh god that sounded really rude. Steven sweat droped, he didnt mean to sound rude! They were just too much for him, so he is glad he got a break, well thats what the poor overworked boy thought...

════════════════

          Steven sighed, sitting down next to a rock very clearly exhausted. "Goodness i walked a long way" he mumbled and thats when he noticed the cave, it didnt look like a normal cave it was surrounded by blue flowers, that what enticed steven to enter it.

          It was cold and damp, yet still some how beautiful now with some (f/f) (favorite flowers) complementing the blue flowers, then steven reached the center of the cave, and dear lord was it beautiful there, vines, flowers, moss, you name it, it was there.

          Before Steven could admire the scenery any longer he noticed two "gems!?" Steven yelped not expecting to see gems, however he still walked over to them checking them out, "wow... they're really beautiful!" steven awed at the gemstones, "Wait.. these could be actual gems!" He suddenly realized. He then quick stuffed the gems in his pockets and ran off, not noticing the dying greenery he left behind. 

════════════════

        Steven entered the beach-house, thanking the diamonds that no one was home, he placed one of the gems on a table and the other in his hand, he stared at the one in his hand, analyzing it. "Hm... i've never seen gems like these- OH WHAT THE?-" just as steven started to talk one of the gems started to glow and form a shape of a.... pearl? 

          When the new gem fully formed, her eyes snaped at steven, then looking around everywhere until she spotted the other gem in steven's hand, anger forming on her features even though steven couldn't see her eyes due to her long hair.

          "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? HOW DARE YOU HOLD THEM!" The pearl yelled, furious at steven, "YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO HOLD THEM!" with that the pearl snatched the gem steven was holding "Filthy human" she spat before leaping out of the beach-house leaving a confused and worried steven behind, "H-HEY WAIT!" steven yelled rushing after the pearl.

════════════════

          It felt like hours of running to steven when in reality it was 10 minutes, "P-PLEASE WAIT UP!" steven gasped for air still chasing the pearl "I SAID TO LEAVE US DIDNT I?" was what he received. Only after this the other gem started to glow making the pearl stop instantly and place the gem on the floor, Steven stopped too, to see the new gem form.

          The gem was nothing like steven expected, it didnt look like a normal gem but rather like a human? b-but they were blue??. What made the situation even more confusing was that the pearl bowed down to the gem "My larimar!" The pearl yelp "How are you? are you alright?". "Orb" the gem sounded like a human! But their voice was so monotone "Stop bowing" they said and the pearl immediately stopped bowing. "M-my larimar, flower's are um..." the larimar gem looked down and glared at the flower's at bloomed around their feet "unimportant orb" "A-ah! im really sorry my l-larimar!" Steven was shocked at the pearl that was only a minute ago fearless, that now was begging for forgiveness "Orb, answer me this" the pearl perked up "How. Is. That?" The larimar gem pointed to steven making him freeze in fear, their pentagon pupils making steven uncomfortable. 

          "oh...." the pearl glared at steven "that is who awakened us"
