Dianite was gliding past a large gem when suddenly it split in two. Curiously, she peered out from behind a tree and watched as the dark gem and light gem proceeded into an argument. Things were heating up between the two, and she dared move closer.
There was utter turmoil between Black Quartz and Cerussite.
See, BQ had taken control of Topaz; forcing both of them to do something Russi was uncomfortable with doing in the first place. Because they were angry at each other, Topaz unfused right in the middle of their bickering.
âYou canât do that! That wasnât even fair!â Cerussite yelled, her arms crossed as she sat in the cold dirt.
Black Quartz played with her hair for the first time in forever, happy that she could get some time to herself.
âOh Russi⌠please. Come on. Donât tell me you didnât have funâŚâ She spoke, her voice deep and sultry.
âOf course!â They said in unison almost hauntingly. The two shared another glance, following a blush. Their blushing lead them to turn away from each other.
However their focus was still on Dianite. BQ was subconsciously piecing together the rest of the story in her mind, though; she wanted to tell Dianite all about the events after Cerussiteâs rescue. Especially the part about her stealing a ship and flying off to the earth. After all, it was too easy in Homeworld. Their ships were always open and ready for departure.
âWell. Itâs really difficult for me to remember this dream exactly sometimes, itâs best when I go to the place where it always happens.â
Dianite lead the two gems down a straight path where after a short walk they were greeted with an open meadow, full of flowers and rocks that were up to your knees. She took a deep breath in through her nose, closing her eyes and enjoying the aroma of the flowers. She kept her eyes closed as she told the first part of her dream.
âWalking, playing, prancing, having fun in the meadow,â she took a few steps forward, kneeling down and brushing her fingers through the blue morning glories with a purple star in the middle of them, âthen I look over to where the forest surrounds the meadow, and see this, eerie green glow,â Dianite stood up, her eyebrows being draw together. She opened her eyes and showed her friends over to a rock. âRight here.. This is where she would be, but everytime I get closer, or try to, it just seems to get further and further away.â She looked down, âand I would hear humming, from the birds, and tweets, and it would be beautiful, until my dream ended in a black fuzz.â
As Dianite led the two gems through the crevice, they reached a meadow ridiculed with flowers. Morning glories were especially prevalent. In a sense, both BQ and Russi took a short gasp. They had seen many meadows, and had danced together in quite a few.
But the one they brushed their feet through right then and there became their most breathtaking experience any field of flora could offer.
Those stars didnât help either, as they helped the two remember their past. Their relationship with the Crystal Gems as a whole.
âDianite⌠thats so⌠beautiful.â Russi spoke softly, her arms wrapped around BQâs as she hung on for dear love. BQ nodded, somehow folding her own arms while keeping her wifeâs small hands wrapped in the crack of her armpit.
âI betchaâ sheâs a green gem. that green glow could be the glow of her gem!â The larger gem added.
âMaybe⌠or it could just be her aura.â
âPossibly⌠I dunnoâ, D. This seems to be a toughie. Youâre probably going to have to keep dreaming to find this babe. Or actually somehow come across her on earth. Or on any other planetâŚâ BQ added again. Russi nodded in agreement, but also decided to continue on as well.
âOr it could be a âheâ. Or âtheyâ. Who knows who they are by now⌠it was just a glow to Dianite in her dream. It could be a frog giving off that green glow⌠or a reflection of something else. I donât even think it has to be someone at allâŚâ
âYeah.. youâre right actually.â
âI know Iâm right, silly. Heheh.â Russi buried her face into BQâs bicep. The two shared another laugh, but then covered their mouths. For some reason, the two felt as if their PDA was a little too rude and overwhelming to handle.
âWe should get back to the cave⌠who knows if that spider can find a way back here. You never knowâŚâ Cerussite pointed out as the realization popped into her mind.
Dianite was still trying to recall what the green glow was, if it was a person or thing, she at least thought it was a person, a shape like that is unmistakable. She shook her head and came back to reality when Cerussite recalled the spider situation.Â
âYes, yes of course, we really should go.â She looked around at the rocky area, then at the flowers as she glanced upwards in Russi and BQâs direction, smiling and leading them back to her cave.
On the way back to the cave Dianite saw a flicker of a shadow from the corner of her eye. As she turned to look what moved, a giant spider leg came into contact with her side, throwing her against a tree. She groaned, but was determined to get this thing out of here, and away from her friends. The leg was moving back into position and Dianite grabbed ahold of it, climbing up the arm because she was feeling too weak to fly. She got over halfway up when the spider noticed her on itâs leg and began shaking its leg ferociously. Dianite managed to keep hold on the spiderâs leg as she continued to climb up onto it. In the blind spot of the spider, Dianite sat on itâs neck, feeling something squishy behind her. The spider was still moving around, throwing Dianite backwards into the squishy mess as it burst open, spilling out what seemed like millions of baby spiders that were a foot tall. She squirmed and fell off the spider, landing into the water where the waterfall and pond meet. Â As she came to the surface she looked over at Russi and BQ feeling helpless with no special weapon, tiny spider crawling all over the place.
"Oh my stars... this- how..." The two gems took a second to grasp what had truly happened.
The large corrupted spider urged its body to squeeze out of the cave and into the area around them.
Better yet, the small baby spiders were beginning to swarm all around the gems. Once they turned their direction towards BQ and Cerussite, they spun each other around and caught each other in a scandalous pose before both flashing and growing into the fusion they've come to be.
Elestial Quartz was back. Again. And ready to annihilate the risky alien creations. It didn't help that these things' mother was forcing its way out of the hole in the cave. It was shapeshifting and transforming to fit; but glitching and constantly changing at the exact same time.
