Steven Universe: The Other Stories

Milky Quartz (Before Future)

"WHO ARE YOU?!  WHAT ARE YOU DOING ON MY SHIP?!"  The new gem said, slightly scared.  "Oh, woah, calm down.  What's your name?"  Steven asked.  "I'm not giving away any info you, you tell me who you are first!"  Milky responded with.  "Well, I'm Steven Quartz DeMayo Cutie-pie Diamond Universe.  This is Peridot, and that's Lapis.  We're not here to hurt you, we just thought you were Jasper."  Milky looked somewhat confused.  "First of all, I'm Milky Quartz. Second of all, That Jasper?  Of course not!  The last time I saw that Jasper was back in...  back before I got exiled..."  Milky looked down at the floor a bit, before setting a course to a random planet called Fraii.  "Wait a minute, exiled?  Are you..."  Peridot looked somewhat surprised.  "Are you what, Peridot?"  Steven responded, looking down at Peridot.  "Back in Era 2, a Milky Quartz was exiled for an incident.  Nobody knows what truly happened except the diamonds, a few witnesses, and a random Lavender Pearl."  Peridot said.  Milky looked over at Peridot.  "That's me.  I can tell you what happened..." Milky said.

"It's Era 2, and I'm hanging around by a forge.  I've been taking orders from the diamonds for thousands of years, and I'm somewhat getting tired of it.  In the forge there's my dear friend, Lavender Pearl.  She's a pearl that where's a white dress with long, flowing hair.  She was beautiful...  there were about 12 other gems in the forge, but I was ignoring them.  There was a sapphire being guarded by 3 rubies, a bismuth, giving out weapons, and a handful of Quartz soldiers, like me.  My friend, Lavender Pearl, really wanted a weapon, but the Bismuth was saying no because 'The diamonds say pearls are servants'.  I eventually got tired of it, and I yelled something I regret to this day...  

'WELL, WHO CARES WHAT THE DIAMONDS SAY?!'

Everyone in the forge gasped, and turned to me, including the bismuth.  I realized what I said, and grabbed Lavender by the arm, bringing a longsword with me.  I hopped on the warp pad with Lavender, and we teleported to a place nobody would look for us: The planet known as Fraii.  It was a nowhere planet, boiling hot, barely had life, not good for kindergartens, but the diamonds didn't care.  Some of the worst gems have come out of there.  Me and Lavender hid on Fraii, and built a house.  We then went to the other side of the planet, and realized why the diamonds made it a colony.  One side was a desolate fiery wasteland, but the other side was green and full of life, and where the gems actually emerged.  I thought it was amazing, and looked at the new part of the world.  And we hid there for thousands of years, our bounty on homeworld growing bigger each day we weren't caught.  Amazonites and Alexandrites were sent after us, hunting us down.  We had Aquamarines and Topazes on our tails, and Moonstones and Ambers, practically every gem.  Eventually, I had to leave the planet without Lavender because we had a very bad situation.  The kindergarten there reactivated.  Eventually, I crashed on earth, and stole supplies from shacks, houses, skyscrapers, building, anything to get back to her.  And after 2 weeks, I restored my ship.  Now I'm just heading back to Fraii, hoping to see her again..."

The trio of Steven, Peridot, and Lapis felt really bad for Milky.  He just wanted to see his friend, and deactivate the kindergarten destroying where they lived.  "We can help you."  Steven said.  Milky got a small smile and looked at them.  "Really?"  She responded.  "Of course!  Peridot, make the ship go faster!"  Steven said.  "On it!"  Peridot responded.  "Lapis, use your water to wrap the ship in a ball and throw it."  Steven said to Lapis.  "I'm on it, chief!"  Lapis jokingly said.
