"Wait what? That's the ending? Lame," You rolled your eyes as the classic Disney film Sleeping Beauty, "She's so stupid. Why would she even touch the stupid spindle anyways? Classic Disney sucks. It's always the man who has to save the girl. I've just about had it," you rambled on and on. Bryan took the disc out of the DVD player. As he got up you thought you heard a bump and a yelp in the distance.

"Look, (Y/N), it was different back then. Just look at how Disney movies have evolved over time," Bryan, the Disney geek decided to turn this into some deep conversation, "I really appreciate the fact that-"

"Whatever, just let me rant,"

"Ah, (Y/N). Possibly the biggest feminist in all the land," Bryan sighed. You snorted. Your rambling continued even as the next movie lit up the room and the opening song could be heard all around the house.

"Okay, now. Chill. I put on one of your favorites, (Disney Movie)."

This immediately shut you up and stars glistened in your eyes as you attentively watched the beginning of the film. You hummed along to the song and scooted closer to the TV with a fat blanket wrapped around you. However, the peace was soon interrupted.

"GAH!"

A somewhat familiar yell followed by a crash could be heard upstairs from your movie watching lair in the basement.

"Oh, shoot." Your eyes went wide and you abandoned your companion and the warmth of your insulating blanket. You bolted up the stairs after hearing a loud crash, like glass breaking and slammed the door open. You peered into the living room. One seat was overturned and your vase of flowers was on the floor in a puddle, but not broken. As you looked along into the kitchen you could tell the figure went into that very room. You crept to the kitchen. Before turning on the lights you grabbed one of the knives you keep in a rack near the entrance. Gripping the newly obtained weapon you groped for the light switch. In a flash, you flipped the switch and charged into the kitchen.

No one.

There was only some chairs out of place and a broken glass window. You cautiously made your way over to the gaping hole and stared into the night. Only trees and plants could be seen out there. You immediately put the knife you were gripping on the table and ran to your room to check on the peridot.

Your heart deflated when you realized it wasn't there at all. You soon heard footsteps behind you.

"Holy chicken tenders, (Y/N)! Did you see that hole in the kitchen," Bryan flipped out, his voice occasionally cracking, "That scared the crap out of me! Hm? (Y/N)? What's the matter?"

"It's gone," you mumbled, "The peridot. She wasn't dead. It was her that trashed our house and left."

"Where do you think she went?"

And idea quickly flashed through your mind.

"Hang on. The ship! She must have gone back for her ship!"

You quickly slipped on some shoes and your coat before dashing through the door and into the woods. Bryan followed close behind. When you finally arrived at the crash site, the trashed ship was gone as well as the mechanical parts.

"What? It should be here! That thing was totaled," you cried desperately. Your million dollar opportunity of discovering alien life was gone. Vanished. Kaput.

"Let's just forget about it, (Y/N). We have the early shift for work tomorrow and I don't want to be late."

Bryan eventually convinced you to follow him back to the house. You just went to bed right away instead of finishing your movie.

~Time Skip~

"(Y/N)! What's the matter with you? The family at table four has been waiting for their pizza for 45 minutes. And you need to go seat those two people over there!" Bryan scolded you as you lazily sat. Yes, you were still upset over the loss of your alien life proof.

"All right already! I get it. I'm sorry," You snapped. It kind of came across a little more harsh than you anticipated.

You wordlessly served the large pizza to the table four family before speed walking back to the front of the restaurant to seat the two waiting. As you got closer you saw it was one of those weird ladies (the purple one) and the boy who lived by the beach. The boy looked very uncomfortable and was dancing around while the purple one laughed.

"Um, hi," you awkwardly said, "Please follow me to your table-"

"Where's the bathroom?" The curly haired kid blurted out and stared at you desperately. You awkwardly pointed him the the right direction. Before you could say anything he ran to the bathroom. You decided to just seat the purple one for now. She ordered drinks for the two of them.

When you came back from filling up their glasses with their requested beverages the boy was sitting across from his companion.

The kid looked up at you with an embarrassed expression, "I'm sorry about that. My bathroom has kind of been occupied. Since yesterday night."

You processed the information before awkwardly nodding, "I-I see..."

"Wait a minute. Not like that," the boy sheepishly chuckled, "There's just this...girl who's been living in my bathroom."

You were still confused, "Oh. I still don't understand that, but alright kid,"

"My name is Steven! And I can explain, actually. You know the crystal gems?"

"They're those women you live with, correct?" you raised an eyebrow and he rapidly nodded.

"Yes! So, we caught one of our number one enemies last night! We don't know why, but she was small, unlike normal and was walking around the town. But Pearl found her ship and her 'limb enhancers' and we brought them back to the temple and we have her trapped now!"

Your eyes widened at the mention of the ship.

"Where did this Pearl lady find the ship?"

"Um...in the woods in the northern part of town, I think," The young boy responded. He narrowed his eyes suspiciously, but not menacingly, "Why?"

You didn't want to really admit it was possibly your alien that would have made you millions, so you cam up with a quick lie, "Well, I just think it's an interesting story. I'd like to see the crash site."

Steven's companion shoved her beverage of soda, glass and all, in her mouth, "Liar," she simple stated through disturbing crunches.

Steven nodded twice, acting as if he was a detective. It actually looked quite humorous.

"Alright, kid, just tell me one thing. Was the girl green?"

"Yup. Her name is Peridot."

Your eyes lit up. Maybe you could kinda "steal" her back as alien proof.

"That's her!" you yelled out, "I picked up her gem after she crashed and after I took her in she trashed my house and then left."

The boy stood in his seat on his knees, "She was yelling about you! She called you... a something clod?"

The purple lady spoke up, "A filthy clod."

"Yeah, that!" Steven chimed, even though it wasn't exactly something to be excited about.

"You should come see her later. I want to make her apologize for wrecking your house. Maybe the gems and I can help you fix it?"

You thought for a moment, "I'd like to see her again, but you really don't have to help fix my place."

"We can repair it easily! And that's awesome! Come to the beach later!" the boy chimed.

His friend made an evil face, "And don't be late," you smiled after she started laughing, signifying she wasn't serious.

You waved before walking away.

'Yes! This is my ticket to earning millions!'
