Chapter 6: Quartz playtime

You were riding on the shoulders of one of the two Amethysts, being carried through the hall while you talked to the other one. "So there's more of you?" The Amethyst nodded. "Yeah, plenty of us, there's also a few Jaspers, and one Carnelian, you would like her, she's short, like you." The Amethyst poked your nose when she said that, causing you to laugh a bit.

The Amethyst that carried you squatted down, allowing you to slide off. You land on your feet as the door in front of you opened. You couldn't believe what you saw. The room was rather large with different cubbies that you assumed were for the Amethysts, but what really surprised you were the amount of gems in the room. There were too many for you to count, but there had to be more than 12. Most of them were all different shades of purple, with purple gems on various locations, the one that caught your eye was the Amethyst with the gem on her cheek with the shark-like teeth.

Aside from the Amethysts, also among them were orange-skinned gems with red stripes in different patterns. You assumed them to be the Jaspers. You stared in awe until one of the Amethysts that escorted you spoke up. "Hey guys, look what we got!" All the quartzes halted their conversation and turned their heads towards you. The room went silent as they all stared at you. They seemed to have a mix of confusion and curiosity as they mumbled to each other. It was a little overwhelming, they didn't look threatening, in fact, they looked friendly, some of them giving you a little smile as they glanced your way. The issue was that there was so many of them.

"Hey, human, come here." One of the Amethysts spoke, she had violet skin and bright blue eyes. You hesitantly approached the gem, she squatted to your eye level. "Where'd you come from?" "Blue Diamond brought them here." One of your escorts spoke up. The blue-eyed Amethyst looked down at you. "Blue Diamond?" "Yeah, she's my mother." The muttering around the quartzes continue. A second Amethyst spoke, this one had pinkish skin with a gem on her right hand. "Why is it so puny?"

"It's not matured yet." "They had a name for it, what is it again?" The two of them, plus a few others, threw around some questions until you answered. "I'm actually a child." They stopped the chattering, then there were snickers and some quiet laughter coming from the quartzes. "What's so funny?" You turn towards them, confused. Another Amethyst spoke up, it was the one with the gem on the cheek. "Oh nothing, we just don't see young humans very often, and of course, they all end the same way." She states with a mischievous smirk.

"Wh-What happens?" She squatted to your eye level, making eye contact while keeping her smirk. "Just throw them into space." You squeak and whimper, covering your head and shaking a little. The crowd of Amethysts then burst out in laughter, you look up at them. "Oh stars, your face!" The Amethyst you were talking to said that while she picked you up and hugged you. "I'm sorry, we just had to!" "That was priceless!" "Can't believe you fell for it!" The Amethysts commented among each other. You chuckle a bit, cause it was a bit funny, you had to admit.

"What are you Amethysts doing?" The chattering and laughter stopped when you heard another woman's voice. Coming out of a cubby was a Jasper, but she was different. Instead of big and bulky like the others, she was skinny, and had short fluffy white hair. Crawling out of the cubby with her was a smaller gem. She had red skin with long burgundy hair. She looked different from the others, so you assumed that was Carnelian. "What's a human doing here?" The Jasper cut through the crowd, walking over to you. The Amethyst put you down as the Jasper squatted to your level. You respond as you look at her. "I'm (Y/n), I'm under Blue Diamonds care." The Jasper smiled and patted your head. "That's cute kid, call me Skinny, this is Carnelian." She pointed to the smaller red gem. Carnelian came over to you, she was just about your height, maybe a few inches taller. The two of you stared at each other for a minute.

"I'm not the shortest anymore!" She shouted and she quickly picked you up. You were a bit startled at the sudden action, but then started laughing as she carried you around. This was going to be fun. You chatted with the quartzes for a while, they were fun to be around, and you were happy Blue dropped you off here.

"What is going on here?!" You heard an irritated unfamiliar voice from behind, making the gems around you freeze in fear. They then scrambled to hide you behind them as they turned around and made that weird symbol with their arms. "What's going-" You tried to ask Carnelian what was going on, but she just shushed you. "Be quiet, the boss is here." The boss? You peek over from two Amethysts, seeing the new gem. She had blue skin, like a few other gems you saw, she had blue eyes and her hair was a pale blue, in two buns. You thought they were horns at first glance. When she turned her back, you saw her gem on the back of her head.

"What are you all crowding around about?!" She shouted at a pair of Amethysts. "N-Nothing, Holly Blue Agate." So that was her name. "Why are you all crowded in here? Get back to your stations!" She shoved a couple of Amethysts and they scrambled for the door. She shouted at a few more, the crowd starting to diminish. You got nervous, it was becoming harder to hide. Carnelian hid you behind the Jaspers, where she got to next.

"As for you hideous off-color betas, get back to your places!" She shoved Skinny, making her bump into Carnelian. You tried to hide when she turned her head in your direction. She squinted her eyes when she thought she saw something. "What is that?" The Jaspers close the gap, trying to hide you. "N-nothing, Holly." One of the Jaspers said but she was shoved aside. The two of you met face to face, Holly's face having a mix of emotions, Anger, confusion, but also curiosity. She quickly snatched you up, holding you by the shirt.

"What is a human doing here?!" She shouted to the quartzes while you squirm in your grip. "Put me down, you big blue meanie!" You wiggle your arms and legs, while Holly just rolled her eyes. "Ugh, again with the noises, can't you learn to speak?" You start to get angry. "I am speaking!" Holly laughed in amusement, starting to carry you out of the room. "Well, might as well put you where you belong."

"Wait!" Skinny interrupted, Holly turned to look at her with an annoyed expression. "The human's under Blue Diamonds care, she assigned us to watch over them." Holly turned her gaze back at you, and quickly dropped you. "You know my Diamond?" She still sounded irritated, but now a little more curious. You nod at her. "Yes, she's technically my mother." Holly let out a sigh, rubbing her temples. "Alright, fine, all you Quartzes watch over the human, and as for you..." She looked at the Quartzes, then back to you. "Behave yourself or I will throw you into the zoo." She intimidated you a little, but you knew she wouldn't hurt you. She then turned and walked away, leaving you with the quartzes. You felt a hand on your shoulder, it was an Amethyst with a curl in her hair. "Was it something I said?" You wondered why Holly was so bitter. The Amethyst just chuckled a bit. "Nah, she's just cranky." You chuckle a bit, hopefully she has a sweet side. "So what do you wanna do?"

You have no idea how much time passed, but it was all spent with the quartzes. You played a few games, one being hide and seek. You hide in a corner while counting. "9....10! Here I come, ready or not!" It took them a while to get the hang of the game, but they learned to love it. You search around the facility, looking for any hiding gems. They were starting to get good at hiding. You spotted Carnelian hiding behind some furniture. "Gotcha!" Carnelian laughed a bit and came out. "You got me." You heard footsteps in the hallway behind you, and you turn around. "Oh, you are busted." You rush down the hallway, spotting one of the Amethysts. She was a dark magenta colored Amethyst with a chipped tooth. You gave her the nickname Chip. "Gotcha!" You yell at her as she kept running down the halls, making you chase after her. You eventually got closer and jump, pouncing on her back.

"No! Help the humans got me!" She playfully shouted, making a few Amethysts peek out from their hiding spots. You laugh a bit as you cover her eyes with your hands. "No, tiny hands, my only weakness!" She exclaimed as she reached her hands out, trying to find her way around. You laugh out loud as she collapsed to her knees. "They're too strong!" She then laid face down on the floor. "Uhh, Chip?" You poke her cheek, making sure she was ok.

You yelp as you were suddenly scooped up by a Jasper. "Gotcha!" You nicknamed her Spike because of her wild, spiky hair. Chip laughed and got up, taking you from Spike to give you a hug. You eagerly hugged her back. "Haha, That was a good one." Spike ruffled your hair as Chip carried you, resting you on her hip. You relax a bit, resting your head on her shoulder as she started walking to the others. Best day ever.
