A Gem AU is next! Which one you ask? Well just our own.

Meanwhile, John and George were in a weird Gem universe. Being a green pearl and an emerald respectively. John and George were on the run from an enormous Jasper because they accidentally fused without knowing.

"What's with that thing?! First we're made of some kind of ice and now we're sharing a body!" George squeaked, trying to defuse.

"I think we're supposed to be gemstones, how do you get ice out of emeralds?"

"Get back here you flawed gems! You need to be shattered!!!" Jasper shouted.

"Ah Just leave us alone!" John snapped, launching a spiked ball at Jasper, resulting in it poofed.

"Wha... What did we just do? Is that dead? Did we kill it?" The two asked each other, defusing from stress and confusion.

"Kill? You talk like filthy humans." Out of the shadows, a black pearl emerged. "She was simply poofed back into her gem, I take it you're new around here."

"New as in from a whole different world! We used to be humans, now we're ice-I mean gems." George stuttered. "What is this place?"

"Just a sort of rebel base me and m... A diamond I happen to assist have been living in, far away from Homeworld since he wasn't enjoying it there." Black Pearl explained.

"Wait, your diamond?" George asked.

"Yes, we're led by four Diamonds.. Well formerly five. Black, whom I... Serve was booted out, they claimed he was nothing more than a mindless beast. Of course, they don't know him like I do."

"Well, where is he? Can we meet him?" John asked.

"I suppose so, but be careful. He gets nervous around new people and then gets into a fight-or-flight mode."

"Alright, will do." George said.

Wandering around, John and George stayed close, not knowing how this strange new world acted. But soon a giant man with a snake tail in place of legs was in sight. "Black, I have some visitors. Green Pearl and Emerald." Black Pearl announced.

"Hello." John introduced, seeming unphased by the tail. Black Diamond doesn't seem to respond. He was staring at something in his hand. "Hey, what's that he's holding?"

"Oh, he's holding Hope Diamond, though Hope hasn't come out of his gem yet." Black pearl said. "Hope is very special to Black, that's why he keeps him close."

In an instant, the gem formed into a much smaller light blue diamond. "Hello.. Sorry if his size might intimidate you.. Black may look feral, but he's harmless." Hope explained sliding down his tail. "He only trusts me and his pearl, we bonded after being rejected by the others."

"Others? But why would anyone do that? You both seem really nice." John asked.

"Well, I can speak French so they saw me as a threat."

"How is knowing French threatening?" John asked.

"Well, they thought my romantic speaking would overpower them, since French is a romantic language. Black on the other hand was constantly kept on a leash and used as nothing more than an executioner, here he was able to live freely how he liked."

The larger diamond in question let out a low growl, picking up the three and hugging them close. "Whoa, easy there big guy."

"Why doesn't he speak? He hasn't said anything yet."

"Oh, he was never taught to speak. Black looked more animalistic, so they treated him as such.."

"We can teach him to speak if he'd like it." George said.
