Child of the Moon

Opal

Hey guys! Looking back at these chapters, I can't help but smile at how far along this story is. Anyway, here's the new chapter!

-Luna's POV-

I gazed at the large mountains. Steven got up and asked, "Is this where the heaven beetle lives?"

"Apparently," said Pearl, not sounding too excited.

"All the way at the top," Amethyst said, with the same enthusiasm as Pearl. I glanced between them; this is going to be a long mission. "So," said Steven, "when you fuse, do you turn into a GIANT giant woman or a regular sized giant woman? Does one of you control the right arm and the other control the left arm?"

I started getting curious about these questions, but Amethyst moaned, and Pearl said, "Come on, you two." Both Amethyst and Pearl started walking away, and we both had to run to catch up. Something told me talking about Opal was getting them irritated. But my curiosity got the best of me. "These are important questions," I said, catching up. They ignored me and we continued climbing the mountain trail. We got to the bottom of one set of stairs and I looked up; yep, this is why I'm here. I can take the air pressure of the mountains. Circo would've been crawling up the stairs.

"Wow, these sure are a lot of stairs," Steven said, "How about you form Opal and give me a piggy back ride?"

"What about me?" I said. Steven laughed nervously, but Amethyst and Pearl said, "No."

Steven seemed pretty down after that answer. I sighed and said, "I could give you a piggy back ride Steven"

He gasped and before I was ready, he jumped up on my back. I stumbled and fell flat on the ground. I spat some dirt from my mouth and said, "A little warning next time."

"Sorry," he said. Just then, there was some rusting from the bushes and a goat walked out from them. Steven shouted, "Look out! It's a magical goat guardian! Quick, form into Opal! It's the only way to defeat it!"

Steven jumped off my back and ran away. I stood up and petted the goat. It bleated and I smiled. Pearl sighed irritated, and said, "Steven, we only fuse for deadly situations. does this look like a deadly situation?" As she said this, she pointed at the goat, who seemed offended by this. He bleated and bit Pearl's hand, making her yell in pain and scold the goat. Amethyst fell on her back laughing. Steven sighed and said, "I'm never going to see Opal." He then took a deep breath and, surprising us, he sang:

"All I wanna do is see you turn into a giant woman,
A giant woman!
All I wanna be is someone who gets to see a giant woman.
All I wanna do is help you turn into a giant woman,
A giant woman!
All I wanna be is someone who gets to see a giant woman.
Oh I know it'll be great and I just can't wait to see the person you are together.
If you give it a chance you can do a huge dance because you are a giant woman.
You might even like being together and if you don't it won't be forever.
But if it were me, I'd really wanna be a giant woman,
a giant woman!
All I wanna do is see you turn into a giant woman."

I smiled as Steven sang as we walked along. At one point he stopped and said, "Come on Luna, sing!" I hesitated but I joined in. soon enough, the both of us were singing and probably annoying the heck out of Pearl and Amethyst. Soon enough, we reached a bridge of some sort. Where there were floating rocks spaced out along the cliff. The goat we found earlier jumped and landed on one of the rocks, far from us.

"Wait for me, Steven Jr.!" Steven shouted running to jump. I quickly grabbed him and said, "Are you crazy?! You can't make that jump!"

"Oh! Pearl! Amethyst! You two should fuse and make Opal, then she can lie down and make a bridge!" Steven said. I sighed; he still hasn't given up on the idea yet.
