(Ford POV)
I was down in my " basement" but I decided it was time to get out of my little hole hoping no one would be awake at this time I opened the vending machine and slowly closed it while looking at both sides and I was shocked to see a pink Steven making some kind of drink and making a waffle mix looking that as shocked as I was.
He looked down and saw he was pink and then he looked at me (what if he's dangerous just like bill I have to do something WHAT if this is bill and he possessed someone) I immediately took my gun out and told him "follow me"
He didn't protest and just followed me down to the basement where I had just come from
And I was lucky enough to have a bill escape proof cage that was made with strong metals to keep that weird Dorito trapped " get inside"
"Um Mr pines I know you want answers but this is a little too much" "Sorry but I cannot take any risks so please cooperate"
He seem to be very anxious inside the crate en tough he had plenty of space seem like it reminded him of se me thing because he kept closing his eyes and getting lost in tough "bill I'm not playing games with you get out that child's mind this instant" I said while pointing the memory erasing gun at the teenager "AHH no please I don't know who bill is but I can explain" he said while sobbing a little "explain yourself why where you pink? More like why are you pink and are those slits in your eyes BILL? I said angry "NO they aren't slits they are diamonds but no I'm not a - he ignored what he just said and continued and I will explain but please put the gun away" "ok ok I will" he seem to have calmed down a lot but not enough to not panicking I think he was a little close to what seem like a PTSD attack I know because I've had those before "I wanted to tell you this sooner than the other ones because Mabel told me you where weird too" he said while pointing at his hand and I looked at them "tell me what" "Oh stars this is gonna be a very long story let ask something first, can I get out the cage it's making me incredibly uncomfortable "oh yeah I'm sorry but if I see something that makes me suspect you could be a threat you are going back? He nodded and I offered him a seat which he took and I took one as well "do you know what a gem is?" I was paralyzed because I knew what they where and I was a really don't want any troubles with them "yeah I actually do know what they are" "oh that's gonna save some time" do you know who rose quartz is? "Yeah she was the quartz who shattered pink diamond right? I saw him take his hans towards his stomach and grab it strongly "well that is not exactly how the story was" "huh?" It left me wondering how this kid knew about gems was he one why he looked like a teenager why is he a boy if? "Ok let me start from the beginning. Pink diamond begged the other diamonds for a colony and she finally got it the colony's name was the earth but she wanted go explore it so she shapeshifted into a normal rose quartz so she could go around earth without them knowing it was her but once she saw that they where not making life for nothing but taking away life and tuning into dust she knew she had to do something" the boy rolled his eyes annoyed with what he had just said "so she and her personal disguised Pearl wanted to kick every gem out the planet but something changed one they saw two different gems fuse a ruby and a sapphire two completely different gems fuse in front of blue diamonds court she noticed that there was something on earth that set gems free so she be friended that totally new fusion made out of love and found new Allies along the way including a amathyst who was 'not right' the boy said with a sad tone on his voice "but then she got the idea to fake her own shattering with the help of her personal Pearl who had promised not to ever speak about the even and no to tell anybody what they had done and after some time on earth the pearl fell in love with her diamond who had shape-shifted into rose forever but she found love in a human called Greg universe and here I am" he said while looking at me waiting for my response while I was kid of surprised and shocked from the story "your some sort of hybrid?" I said while making mental notes to write this in my new Journal "yeah and I also have my moms powers some I like and some..."destructive"
"What kind of powers?" I said while grabbing a nervy notebook waiting for him to do something so I could write it "I can shape shift but all gems can do that" he said while turning his feet longer so he was taller than ford "I also have a shied I use in many ways" "does a non magical sword count? "Yeah everything and do you have ability's? I said it in a tone which sounded like a fan girl "I have healing spit that works in humans, gems, and objects" "I can make myself very Light so it's technically floating and..my diamond powers" he said sadly with a guilty look "what are those powers like? "I get pink if I experience any kind of strong emotion I can make myself change my form to an extra strong and intimidating one  I can be so powerful I could shatter someone without knowing,turn into a m-" he turned pink before he could finish his sentence and started sobbing while putting his hands on his face and I was starting to think he was dangerous but I shoved those thoughts away because he looked like he did this to protect us and bill doesn't show much emotions "i think your good I don't know what you did to make you feel like this but you seem like a nice boy" "thanks Mr pines but could you please not tell anyone you can study me with my permission because I know you want to just look around but I want to tell the kids ok my own I hope you understand" I indeed wanted to study him and I think I can let him tell the kids so "of course you can tell them just hope you know the sooner the better those kids are very good at solving mysteries" i said in an honest tone "yeah Mabel saw me turning pink" he said while looking at the floor "heh the mystery twins can solve lots of mysteries so the seiner you tell those kids your a diamo-"I AM NOT A DIAMOND I AM NOT LIKE THOSE MONST-"
He shouted but seem like he remembered something and he started crying "please don't call me a diamond" he said between quiet sobs "why don't you have a diamond" yeah but they did horrible things and I don't want to be called one yes I do have a diamond but do t call me one please it makes me feel 'like them' "I understand your worry and I'm sorry I called you that Steven" he sighted with relief "thanks Mr pines" "just call me ford" "thanks ford could we go upstairs I still have some breakfast to make" he said while the pink in his skin was fading " "of course I'll go open the vending machine, but before we go could I please know if I  could see your gem powers in action perhaps you could tell me when you want to" "I will Ford" "oh and tomorrow we are gonna go to find an anomaly would you care to come?"
"I would love to" I swear I saw stars in his eyes "would you care to join for some together breakfast?" "What is that" "it's a special breakfast that has to be eaten together"
"Oh yeah I would appreciate it" I looked at him by he had already started to walk towards the kitchen and took a bowl of something and started mixing it "do you think the kids are up" he said while looking at me "probably" I responded "I have an idea" he said with a malicious look on his face "what now?"
I looked at him worried "a prank :3" "how do you plan on doing that" he didn't let me finish my sentence when he shape-shifted into a cat and told me "my aunt is to blame for this"
He said while giggling "can I watch" "yeah just don't give it away" I was really good at hiding so I t followed him to the kids rooms and they where both up just talking to each other when cat Steven winked at me and when to the room.
