well, as soon as she saw you, her pupils expanded, twinkling like stars in the night sky. she squished her cheeks comically as she exclaimed; "AWWWWOH!!" then all at once, her arms stretched towards you, making you yelp as she picks you up and pulls towards her face until you were nose to nose with her. "and what are you supposed to be?" she asked in a cooing voice. Greg raised his eye brow, looking quite confused and uncomfortable. "a uh.. a puppy?" he answered, almost hesitantly. spinel looked up for a moment, a comically confused look on her face. "a Pop-pee?" she giggled. "what's a pop-pee?" she repeated unintelligibly. it's what I am! "Bark bark!" you chirped cheerfully and some what proudly. spinel looked back at you, her bright smile back on her face. "whatever you are, you suure are cute!" she chirps, rubbing her cheek on your head. your pupils dilate and your tail wagging picks up speed. it's been so long since such sweet words grazed your ears. let alone hear it in that cooing voice a puppy just can't resist! thank you so much! thank you, thank you! "yip! yip! arf! yip!" you piped, panting happily, tongue lolling from your mouth. she laughed happily, throwing you up in the air and catching you a few times before she holds you up to her face. her laughing hitched when you begin to lick her face in happy gratitude of her kind words. "that tickles!" she exclaimed, before placing you atop her head and started dancing and bouncing around the room.

"HOLD ON A MINUTE!"

she paused and looked at Steven, a dopey smile on her face as you panted happily atop her head, looking at steven curiously. "don't you remember anything that you've done?!" spinel smiles innocently. "remember what?"

"wowee!" spinel exclaimed staring up at the giant tick still embedded in the grassy hill, steadily injecting it's pink contents into the earth. you still lay comfortably on her head, staring up at the ominous thing in concern. you don't know how long it's been, but you can see the ground around it slowly becoming darker. that and the pungent scent of dead grass and acid reach your sensitive puppy nose. I think it's getting worse! "Arf! arf!" spinel looks up at you and gives a sweet smile, taking you off her head and holding you upto her face. "yes, it is very big!" she coos, hugging you into her chest. you blink a few times. that's... totally not what I said. "rrf..." you muttered indignantly. however she again started to dance with you in her embrace, laughing giddily, melting away any form of annoyance and replacing it with amusement and joy. she paused when steven called; "you don't remember anything about this?? like when you said I didn't stand a chance against your injector??" she held you in one arm and used the other to itch her head, as she gave a comical yet genuinely confused stare at the boy. "I said what now?"

you took a glance up at steven, who now had a hopeless look on his face. well, you couldn't really blame him. his friends have no clue of what's going on. nor do they remember their full past. Just their "original" purposes.. sorry, boy.. there must be something for you! "arf arf!" you replied sympathetically, looking toward the more brighter side of the town. Steven looked toward the direction your muzzle pointed, and his eye caught a large building with a slow rotating blade atop it. Steven's eyes flashed like an idea struck him. "of course! bismuth, lapis and peridot can help!" he suddenly said, prompting you to turn your head to look at him quizzically. Who? "great thinking, pup!" he exclaims, giving you a brief, slightly rough pat on the head, before breaking into a run. "come on! we've got to figure out a way to fix this!" spinel giggles and boops your nose. "such a smart poppee you are!" she cooes, placing you atop her head and dashing after steven with ruby and Sapphire.

I was looking at that big donut place, but whatever floats your boat!
