Their story {Spinel x Reader} (ON HOLD)

Chapter 5

Previously:

Walking down the hill to the beach house, you decide to start up a conversation. "Hey, Steven. Did you know that you kind of sounded like my father back there?", your question. Steven gave you a snickering look. "What? No!", he said trying to deny it. "Yes, you did, young man! Now here I thought I was the adult here!", you joke, walking up the steps. (You are about 17 to 18 in this soo yea)

Now: 

You and Steven place all of the gems on the coffee table, just to get a good look at them. You call Greg to tell him what happened. After your call you find Steven sitting on the couch, you decide to sit next to him. The air between you two is extremely tense. You look at him for a moment, You open your mouth to say something but is interrupted by the concerned shouts of Greg.

"Steven! Y/n!", hollered Greg, bursting in the door, running towards us. "I can as fast as I could! Are you okay?", Greg exclaimed, changing his gaze to the crystals on the table "Holy Shhh--!", Greg shouted, stopping halfway to be interrupted by you. You quickly shot Greg a death glare to not curse in front of Steven, Greg looks away in slight fear. 

"Shhhhe really got everybody! Is that her?", Greg says frantically, changing the subject to the pink gem on the table. "Yeah...", Steven said, in disbelief. "Who?", Greg questioned. "No clue...", you said, shrugging. "Why?", Greg asked confused. "No idea...!", Steven says, overwhelmed slightly. "How?!", Greg finally asked. "She hit everyone with this.", you say revealing the handle, while pushing the button. To show that it was a powerful laser scythe.

"Woaaaahhh!", Greg panicked at the sight of the weapon.  You press the button again, it reinserts itself to its handle form. You return it to Steven, he puts it in his left pocket. "Phew...", Greg sighed. "It did something extra weird to Steven and now his powers aren't working correctly, look.", you explain. "Er... Steven could you...?", you ask, trying to sound polite.  

"Uh, sure!", Steven replies. He tries to summon his shield, but it soon begins to glitch and eventually disappears. Both you and Steven sigh. "We just have no idea what's going on!", Steven groans. "Well, kids! Now you how I feel almost all the time.", Greg joked. You giggle at Greg's remark, he always was that kind of father. As in terrible dad jokes. 

"But, you know what else? Any minute now the gems are gonna do that thing, where they glow and float in the air and reappear better than ever!", Greg says, pridefully picking up and holding Pearl's gem. Those kinds of things that Greg says, they always make you feel happy. Man, no wonder Rose chose him. "Huh?", Steven says, puzzled at the sight of Pearl's gem floating in the air and glowing. (she's usually the one who takes the longest to forms so yea)

"See, here she comes! Good ol' Pearl!", Greg remarks. "Yeah, she'll know what to do!", you say, brightly. Your happiness soon fades into confusion. You see before you is a clear, baby blue-colored oyster shell formed around Pearl's gem. "Huh, well that's new.", Greg says obviously. "No kidding.", you reply. "Please identify yourself.", spoke the magic clam. "Um... Greg Universe?", Greg answered. 

"Greetings, Um Greg Universe. Please state the preferred customization options.", spoke the floating oyster shell, politely. "Uh... What am I supposed to say here?", Greg whispered. You gave him a shrug and derp face, Steven replies. "I-I don't know!", Steven said, shrugging with you. "Default setting selected, please stand by.", replies the magic shell. The clam swiftly moves to the center of the room and places itself on the floor. 

The magic oyster opens itself. A form of light began to arise from the center of the shell, eventually fading into a form of a person; Pearl. She opens her light blue eyes, with a blank stare. She looked ...different. She looked just like she described when she was under the service of Pink Diamond? Greg stared back with a similar look, but his describes amazement. "Pearl!", Steven shouted full of hope.
