Steven Universe and Alexandra Crystal Gem Universe

Ocean Gem

"Alex is...grounded?" Steven asks.

"Yes, she's grounded!" Pearl says and folds her arms.

"She disobeyed an order," Garnet adds.

"And now we're gonna BURY you 'till you've learned your lesson!" Amethyst says and she holds up a shovel.

"I—I don't think that's how grounding works..." Alex says quietly.

What's wrong with me? Why am I feeling so sad? She thinks and looks down at her Gem.

[Flashback. ]

The gem levitates, soon it's forming a physical, humanoid form.

It looks different than the Crystal Gem and yet similar.

Alex blushes slightly as she sees the Gem in front of her

A warm feeling made its way through her body. It's like her Soul and her Gem are singing in a perfect harmony.

...

"I'm sorry...Lapis. I can't... Steven is right...this is my home." Alex says sadly. Why was I feeling sad? I just met her. 

"Fine." Lapis sighs but she also sounds slightly disappointed and hurt.

Alex feels like something inside her is screaming to follow her.

[Flaschback end]

And what was that power that I used to push away Garnet? I didn't mean to do it...I haven't been able to use it. Alex sighs in thoughts.

"Alex?...A-Are you okay?" Steven asks her with a very concerned voice.

"Huh?" Alex looks up and sees Steven and Amethyst look at her worried.

Pearl and Garnet on the other hand exchange a concerned glance.

"Uhh,...yes!... I'm fine," Alex says with a small smile.

"Are you sure? You seem kinda sad... Is it because you're grounded?" Steven asks her.

"Steven, I'm fine...I mean it." Alex says before she sighs and looks at the Gems.

 "So, are you gonna BURY me now or what?" She asks with a forced smirk as she looks up at them again.

"Alex...this is not how grounding works," Pearl says as she slightly glares at Amethysts.

The door opens, and the Gems turn around. They see Greg standing in the doorframe heavily breathing.

"Dad?" Steven asks.

"Uh, you guys better come, check this out. " Greg tells them.

They all follow Greg towards the beach.

"The ocean!" Steven exclaims.

"...It's...gone." Alex says shocked.

"Hey, it's those magical ladies!" Mayor Dewey yells into a megaphone. "What's going on here?"

"The ocean is gone, obviously!" Garnet says simply.

Alex snickers slightly.

"That's right. Now it's just a desert. No one wants to take a vacation to...Desert City! Aww, we're gonna lose all our summer business!" Mayor Dewey says.
