“What did you just call me?”

“I don’t really know enough flowers to have a favorite, to be honest. Soo... Maybe something that’s red like me?” she offered. She was unsure just how many red flowers there were, but she was sure whatever Navy suggested to her, she’d probably like. “Pink would be nice, too!”

“Army? You can’t seriously be accepting that weirdo human’s weirdo nicknames, can you?”

silently, to herself, she tried to evaluate the reasons behindreceiving a stray gift.“..what is it?”

              “A lone Ruby? Where’s the rest of your platoon?                       Rubies rarely travel alone.”

     “Well you’re not the good guy.” Perhaps they were being a bit harsh- for the most part, the ruby’s actions had been completely justified. Poetic, even, but that didn’t mean they had to like it. Steven had really trusted her- he’d really wanted to believe that she’d be happy here on Earth with them, and Connie- well, Connie hadn’t been there, but she had enough self-preservation about her to know that things had the potential to get very bad now. Their friends, their home, their way of life; it was threatened now, and Stevonnie found that if anything, they were not as forgiving as the people who had created them.
