ask or dare W/Steven, the gems, diamonds, and fireteam Nova

lapis, Steven and Stella talk to me

Me: *sighs* why must life be so damn stressful.

Lapis, Steven and Stella walk up to me.

Lapis: honey, are you ok?

Me: *looks up and sighs* I'm fine lapis.

Stella: Zach, you know you can talk to us right?

I get up, move forward, and phase on my mixed solstice armor set.

Me: *annoyed* I'm fine.

I summon my wings and fly off to the kindergarten.

Steven: I'm not the only one who can tell that he's not fine, right?

Lapis: I can easily tell something is bothering him.

At the kindergarten

I snap my fingers and summon a massive group of rock monsters, I summon my sentinel shield and dawnblade, and go into diamond fragmented state.

Me: why must life always be hell for me, I lost my naneena in middle school, I got picked on to the point it affected my mental health, all this rasict shit on the news, covid-19!

Nearby

Stella: ok, using my powers, I am able to block zach's gem senses.

Lapis: good, maybe now we can find out what's wrong.

Steven: guys, you should come and see this.

Lapis and Stella come over to Steven and see Zach fighting rock monsters, Zach is in his diamond fragmented state, sentinel shield and dawnblade summoned.

Back to the fight

Me: why can't I ever do anything right, I'm no hero, I'm a failure, a nobody, I'm nothing. *I fall onto the ground as my rock monsters disappear, I start crying*

Lapis: Zach?

I look up and see lapis, Steven and Stella.

Me: h-hey you guys.

Steven: Zach *sighs* we heard everything.

Me: I told you guys I'm fin-

Lapis, Steven and Stella engulf me into a hug.

Stella: Zach, you are not fine, let us help you, your friends and family are here for you.

Me: *stops crying and sighs* ok, let's go talk to my momma blue.

We get up and go back to the beach house.
