Cue a ton of jewelry.

Necklaces, bracelets, rings, waist chains, chest chains, earrings, you name it it’s being made. Erdians dress up for important things and finding your forever mate is a very important moment. So Adrian asked the pebbles of Grace’s class to help make some jewelry. They get to practice their building and make Mr. Grace happy. It’s a win-win for them.

If it wasn’t for the fact that Simon is supposed to wear nothing but the jewelry.

He had to explain to Adrian that he wasn’t comfortable walking around naked so at the very least he can wear a cloth around his waist. Adrian would very much like to not see that so yes he can wear the cloth, in fact I never want to see either one of y’all naked.

So they’re on the beach as Adrian tells Simon how to put on each piece of jewelry that the pebbles hand him while Rocky keeps Grace distracted in the house. It’s all going well until an earring slips from Simon’s hand and gets swept up by a wave. The pebble that made it, gonna call her Sweet Potato, freaks out and immediately runs into the ocean to grab her best creation yet.

Cue Simon and Adrian freaking out.

Eridians can’t swim, they’re literally rocks, but most don’t know that cause they’ve never seen water let alone an ocean before. So Simon immediately runs into the waves, scrambling to grab Sweet Potato so she doesn’t sink to the bottom of the ocean. Rocky thinks that it’s time and brings out Grace right as Simon wades out of the water absolutely soaked while cradling Sweet Potato to his chest.

He’s not mad, just telling her that she can always make a new earring to replace the lost one but that they can’t make another Sweet Potato. He’s checking over her before explaining to her and the rest of the pebbles that the ocean is pretty dangerous for them since they will sink to the bottom. Adrian and Rocky are a bit upset cause they think the whole mating process was ruined, Simon is soaked to the bone, and they’ll have to schedule it for another time.

Grace has never been more flustered and turned on in his life.

Simon is standing there, water dripping down his body that was covered in jewelry sparkling in the setting sun. He was cradling Sweet Potato so tenderly while gently correcting her and the rest of the pebbles. And that cloth on his waist.

Goodness that cloth was fighting for its very existence to stay up.

Rocky hears Grace’s heart speed up and sees heat blooming on the human’s face. He glances back at Simon and back to Grace before doing a little victory dance.
