Chapter 5: First Day

- Tuesday - Earth -

"Congratulations Ms.Pearl you got the job!!" was heard as a semi-obese Japanese man excitedly told his new employee. "What!! Really I-I-I did?!?!?!" Pearl asked her new boss with very obvious tears in her eyes.

After accepting her new job at the restaurant, Pearl immediately left to tell her friends about the exciting news. While Pearl was on her way home she saw out of the corner of her eye a extremely custom built metallic blue Corvette Stingray. Instantly knowing who drove said car she turned just as the car came to a stop.

"So Pearl," said the driver "how'd it go with your job interview?" "I got the job!!!!" she told the three peaple in the car. "Anyways what are you guys doing here?" she asked "Isn't it obvious? We're her to see how it went during the interview." said Peridot from the custom back seat

"Well anyways why don't you get in the car Pearl Me, Peridot, and Lapis are all going to the temple anyways." Steven asked Pearl "Sure" the tall Gem said as she got inside the car with the teens.

As they left on there way to the temple it got deathly silent during the ride a quality not usually found when on rides.

"Uhh you know Steven I think I speak on behalf of both Peridot and I when I say that ever since we moved to Beach City these last few months have been great. You know hanging out with you, Connie, and the others hell you even saved me once." Lapis said attempting to break the silence.

"Really? Well I'm flattered that you really think thaaaaa- Hold on!!" Was all he was able to say as they all felt a powerful explosion that was able to make the car fly in the air for just a few seconds. However those few seconds felt like hours to those inside the car.

" *cough* *cough* Uhhh is everyone okay?" Lapis asked her friends and sister in the car. "Good thing we were all wearing our seatbelts right? Heh he, " Steven joked "heck look the car even landed on it's wheels." Steven said as they all noticed what he said was true How was that possible they all thought as they got out of the Stingray

"Uh Pearl why is there a red dot on your gem?" Peridot asked as she noticed a dot on Pearl's head. "What?" Pearl said skeptically after she herself noticed the dot.

"Guys... What the heck is that?" Lapis said aloud as it turned into a scream.

Just then a big bipedal robot was starting to go towards them bearing a strange symbol on its hull.

"Lapis, Peridot get behind me and Pearl." Said Steven as both he and Pearl summoned there weapons. Once both girls did what they were told two things happened one some person came out of a little explosion on the building next to the robot as they then proceeded to get on the robot's roof/back and using some sort of strange weapon to shoot the robot twice causing the killer machine to fall to the ground defeated.

Steven, Lapis, Peridot, and Pearl were all shocked due to the event that just unfolded to them. Unable to move or comprehend what is going on they're just standing there. The robots attacker used this as a point to show them why she's here.

"Hello? Hellllllllllo? Anyone?" she said waving her hands around the shocked gems just as they all snapped out of the trance. "Oh silly me I forgot to that I move fast."

"Anyways thank the gods your alright. Oh how rude of me to forget to tell you my name my name is Cream Pearl but you can call me Cream." she said nonchalantly.

"What was that thing?" Pearl asked Cream as she examined the downed bot

"I don't know but I bet it has something to do with him." Cream deadpanned. "Who." The pearl asked only for Cream to dismiss it as nothing...
