Red's P.O.V.

"Red" I heard someone yell. I opened my eyes and looked down, to see Steven looking up and waving at me. I smile and stood up, after standing up I began to do some stretches. "Well hello to you to Steven" I said looking down at him still smiling. "Oh sorry, is it ok if I call you Red" he asked nervously, afraid that he had done something wrong. "Of course you can call me Red" I said with a smile on my face, reassurance him that he didn't do anything wrong.

"So what are you doing today" he asked. "Well I was going to watch the Homeworld Gems, and make sure they don't do anything" I said while watching the Rubies talk to each other.

"Well why don't you come hang out with me for the day" he asked. "Oh I don't know Steven, I don't think the others will allow me to go with you" I said. "Wait right here I'll go see if I can convince them" he said.

He then ran inside the door closing behind him. I felt a tug on my cloak which prompted me to look down. I saw it was one of the Rubies, her gem was on her leg. I looked over at the other Rubies and saw that they had their gem's in different locations on their bodies.

I brought my attention back to the Ruby in front of me. She had her arms in the diamond salute, and was looking at the ground. "What is it Ruby" I asked.
"Well I wanted to know if me and the other rubies could spend time with you my Diamond" she said nervously, while saluting me.

"Well I don't see any harm in it, and please call me Red" I said smiling down at her. She finally raised her head up and looked at me. She gave me this big happy smile, which made my smile widen.

"Hey Red they said you could come with me, but amethyst and lapis will be coming with us" he said while running up to me and the Rubies. "Oh I don't know Steven, I was just about to spend time with the Rubies" I said trying to let him down easy.

"Oh they could come with" Steven said enthusiastically. "Well what do you say, do you want to join me, Steven and his friends on our little outing" I asked wanting to make sure they were comfortable having Steven and his friends their.

The Rubies all huddled around each other in a circle discussing. After a minute or two of deliberation the Rubies broke out of their huddle and faced me and the others. "We don't mind them tagging along" one of the Rubies said, her gem on her naval.

"Well then let's go" shouted Steven as he started to run to the strange level of wood. I followed after him at a slow and calm pace. From their we went to the Big Donut where Steven got some donuts for us. I had to shrink down in order to walk into the store. Even though Gems don't need to eat, I ate one just to try it out.

To say it was delicious was an understatement. And it appeared to me and Steven that the Rubies agreed, as they started devouring the donuts. We had to restrain them and drag them from the store les they barge in and start eating all of the donuts.

After that we went to this "arcade" as he called it and played some games. Of course I had to shrink down to a smaller size but again I didn't mind. I was enjoying this one racing game as it was fun and exciting to play.

Steven and the other Gems were also playing games. However out of all games one caught my eye. I was a game called "Meat Beat Mania". However as soon as I started walking towards it I was dragged out by Steven, the others right behind us. 'Huh that was weird' I thought before following Steven to our next stop.

After leaving the arcade I decided to remain in my small form, as to not keep going back and forth every time we entered a store. We then went to this "Funland", Steven explained that it was like the arcade only with rides and games you get to actually play.
