It had been quiet on the ship for awhile saved for Spinel’s soft weeping and that’s when one of the Rutile twins spoke up.

“You can make more friends.” The left one said.

“Yeah you can make so many more friends.” The right twin chimed in.

Spinel remained quiet soft sniffing was heard as wet pink eyes peered at them.

“It’ll be great just imagine.” The right twin said, sounding so happy.

There were pleasant looks on all the gems on the ship all except for the small pink spinel who stared with confusion.

“Just think we won’t have to fear of being shattered.” Rhodonite sighed.

“Or judged based on our looks.” The right Rutile twin said.

“Or our skills and talents.” Padparadscha added in with the right Rutile twin.

“Or our status rank.” Florite hummed.

“But most importantly.” Lars said. “We won’t have to serve any diamond.” He said.

All the gems on board agreed yet Spinel seemed confused, she would no longer be serving a diamond. How bizarre. Spinel would have never thought that she would go against the diamond authority but it didn’t look like she had much of a choice. The small pink gem didn’t think she could serve anyone other than her diamond. She didn’t want to even fathom what it would be like if she served another gem. Probably wouldn’t be treated well….again.

Spinel rubbed the last remaining tears from her eyes and looked out at the vast amount of stars out in space. Spinel looked as Homeworld grew smaller and smaller, she wondered how far away from the entire planet Homeworld was she when Oink left her in the garden. Spinel didn’t want to think about it, it scared her a little. She must’ve been so far away from Homeworld. With the warp pads everything seemed so close but now that Spinel was leaving her home she couldn’t help but think.

Home the garden was once a lovely home and now it had transformed into her small personal hell. Spinel could feel tears bubble up in her eyes again. She sniffed which caught the attention of an unlikely gem. Spinel sniffed, rubbing her teary eyes and could see through her blurred vision a caterpillar like body wrapped around where she sat. Spinel cried out in fear but stopped as it was only Fluorite, a fusion as Homeworld put it. Spinel sniffed as she listened to a slow yet seemingly calm voice speak to her.

“It’s alright.” Fluorite said.

Spinel sat there sniffing, rubbing her wet eyes and despite how bizarre this day was these gems were just so nice and kind to her. Spinel was grateful for the comfort. Spinel wanted to say thank you but despite not talking it seemed that Fluorite understood her. The small pink gem gave a tired sigh and rested herself against Fluorite slowly beginning to close her eyes but suddenly snapped upright. She had no clue what she was doing but it scared her it felt like she was shutting down and she didn’t like that. Spinel began to focus on the stars. She remembers counting so many stars in the garden and right now there were so many stars out she didn’t think she could count anymore. The small pink gem felt like she had been counting for so long . Spinel’s soft pink eyes traveled around the shop and that’s when they stared at Fluorite. Spinel couldn’t help but state. This gem was so different yet she was so kind. Spinel stared at her colorful form; she couldn’t help but admire Fluorite for her oddity but Spinel found her colors and her form fascinating and comforting. The cool,gentle colors on Fluorite’s form were relaxing to look at and Fluorite had this calm aura around her which seemed to ease Spinel. Despite the way Fluorite spoke it was nice to hear and oddly enough comforting and she was nice to lay on as she was soft yet cool. Maybe it was just Spinel’s lack of physical contact.

The small pink gem would always be grateful that Fluorite had come over to comfort her. However Fluorite was again needed and the small pink gem was one again alone. Spinel sighed, she really had nothing to do except….the small gem looked down at the notepad Kars had given her and a small smile began to spread on her cute pink face.

Captain Lars Barriga stared out into the mass majority of the stars in space . The young pink teen sat there navigating the ship’s direction and making sure everything ran smoothly in the ship. To think one day he was working at a donut shop and then he. Was picked up by these giant aliens called gems snatched him from his home and tossed him in a human zoo. To be taken without warning, away from his friends, his family and his home. Lars couldn’t remember how long he had been away from earth but he wasn’t going to wait a single second on that horrible planet known as Homeworld. Lars couldn’t wait, soon they would all be free. They would be happy sna safe.

That thought alone seemed to make the young captain happy. Who would have thought someone like him would be out flying in space with s bunch of gem rock aliens. It seemed like only yesterday he escaped the human zoo and was hiding away from the Amethyst guards. Lars couldn’t remember exactly how he survived but he managed to do just fine by taking some water and food from the zoo. Lars couldn’t he,p but smile despite his struggle he managed to steal a ship from a high status gem as his way of sticking it to that crazed robotic planet

Lars couldn’t help but chuckle. He wondered who the poor sap was and how embarrassing it would have been to have their ship stolen by a human. Lars chuckled again knowing that he had taken a high class gem’s ship would have been an utter shame and humiliation to have their ship taken by what they called “lower life form.” However to have it taken by a human mini less would have been humiliating at best. Lars couldn’t he,o but laugh a little putting a hand to his mouth and try and muffle it out. It was just too good to not enjoy.

Spinel place the pencil down or what she liked to call the drawing wand and stared at her drawings. One was if her escaping the garden and running away from Pink Diamond’s son and his topaz guard and amethyst guard. It then shows her rejuvenating a topaz guard and running again before jumping off a bridge and seeing those weird machines. Before one could get to her Spinel had drawn the Rutile twins saving her and bringing her to see the rest of the off color gems.

Then the small gem drew the present, explaining her story and leaving Homeworld on a big ship. Spinel looked down at her drawing pad and couldn’t help but smile as she began drawing them heading to earth. Ah, earth. A colony she was left for by her diamond. Spinel narrowed her eyes not wanting to think back on that painful memory anymore. Once Pink had her colony she just left Spinel and didn’t come back. Spinel blinked a couple of tears away and swallowed a painful lump that was stuck in her throat.

Sox thousand years .

She had been playing with the one person who she believed was her best friend, who had left her to rot. It was funny though, Spinel had never seen earth before but now that Pink was gone and Spinel left the garden she could finally see earth. The thought of seeing earth made Spinel happy. Even forgetting the horrible mistreatment and punishments she would dish out to Spinel. The hair pulling, grabbing her pretty rough to the point of bruising, putting her down or much harsher punishments like being hit, kicked, punched or thrown around like a rag doll. Spinel could eerily remember her diamond dissipating her form via ,by crushing.

Spinel could feel her body freeze up and get cold.. Pink Diamond has just about enough of Spinel . The small pink bubbly gem one day was a little more excited than usual but that was because of a reason. Spinel had made a gorgeous flower crown for her diamond and the tiny pink gem just couldn’t wait to show her. However Pink Diamond was in a rather sour mood but Spinel couldn’t help herself. She really wanted to show her diamond what she had made her and when Pink had back handed her the poor gem causing her to hit the floor causing her to drop the flower crown Spinel looked up feeling a painful sting longer on her cheek. That happened so fat and without warning.

Spinel had no clue what she had done. The pain lingering on her sensitive pink skin causing tears to well up in her eyes. She gave out a pained whine and looked at her diamond eyes fearful and her body trembling.

“P-Pink.” She whined pitifully trying to suppress a sniffle.

The littlest diamond stared down at the small pink spinel with little to no emotion in her eyes. It scared Spinel to see her Diamond’s face like that. To see that there was nothing in her pink diamond eyes that they had grown dark and without light seemed to make Spinel fear for the worst and without warning Spinel cried out and n fear as Pink Diamond grabbed her a little more rough than usual and proceeded to squeeze the sides of the small and now helpless spinel. Spinel shrieked from both lain and fear. She could feel something warm trickle up her throat and out her mouth. It tasted like metal and Spinel could feel it spill out of her mouth and drip down her chin. She hadn’t realized at the time that it was blood.

Her blood.

Spinel stared on in horror as her dis one stared down at her with a hateful glare while her hands pressed against Spinel’s sides. No matter how much she cried and sobbed telling her diamond that she was sorry that only seemed to make her more angrier. The squeezing felt horrible; it felt like her inside were being caved in. Spinel couldn’t tell if this was the way she was going.to die but by the looks of it, it seemed that way. Spinel could feel her eyes rolled back, tears spilling down her face as her vision blurred and she could only see darkness . When Spinel had reformed her diamond was no longer there but the pain of what she had done was. Spinels whimpered unbaked to hold back the painful sobs which resulted in outwardly wailing.

She couldn’t understand why her diamond wanted to do something like that, wasn’t Spinel being a good gem? A good little gem for her diamond. It didn’t matter right now. Spinel just wanted to rest for a moment. The small pink gem limped over to a path of forget me not flowers, her absolute favored flower and when she laid down she must’ve blacked out cause she couldn’t remember what had happened after she had closed her ryes.

Spinel shook her head, not wanting to think about Pink Diamond right now . The small gem gasped when she felt a small bump in the ship. Maybe that was normal.

lCaptain you might wanna take a look at this.” The left Rutile twin said.

“Yeah it looks serious.” The right Rutile twin said in a shared whisper

Lars began to check some of the camera footage and frowned.

“Oh no. “ he said l

“O-oh no..l.what do you...mean?!” Rhodonite asked , getting a little worried.

Spinel looked over to the orange sapphire who spoke.

Spinel after warping away from the garden opened her eyes to realize she was in Pink Diamond’s armory. Spinel stared around in slight awe. She never thought that her own dAmond would have a spot to keep all her weapons, but now wasn’t the time for memories Spinel needed a weapon that would keep her safe. Spinel quickly looked around searching for anything and knew she was running out of time. So she immediately grabbed a small rod with a small button on the side of it.

Huh. What could this be?

The small pink gem didn’t have time to wonder as someone was already in the armory with her sending the small gem in a panic.

Oh no! Oh no! What was she to do?

Spinel sounds around and could see that the yellow Topaz was getting closer to her and Spinel began to panic. She must’ve panicked and accidentally pressed the button on the small rod and gasped softly as she watched as the rod began lifting up much taller before an electric buzz sound was heard along with the sight of a sharp looking scythe blade at the end of it. Spinel gasped at the sight,

“St-stay back!” Came a pained soft barely audible voice from the small gem.

The small spinel coughed painfully the whole process of talking felt so forgin to her. She had stayed so quiet in the garden that it was so weird hearing her own voice. Now Spinel subterfuge that the much bigger gem had even heard her speak. Spinel watched as the big topaz gem mainly used for guarding certain places stared at the scythe weapon in fear . The small pink gem didn’t understand why she was so frightened by such a weapon she was holding. Spinel was so tiny and the gem was so massive yet the weapon the little pink gem held in her hands was one not to be trifled with. However when the gem caught sight of how hesitant the young spinel looked the topaz moved closer but would soon learn or rather….forget that it would be a mistake she would pay dearly for. Spinel gasps and quickly brought down the weapon which sliced through the gem with ease. Spinel cried in fear when she saw the gem’s face how shocked they looked so much so that it unsettled Spinel a little.

Spinel watched with terror filled pink eyes as the thin cut from strike exposed light and the small pink gem watched as the top half of the topaz’s form began to droop which unsettled the small pink playmate even more and suddenly the massive gem poofed into a cloud of yellow smoke. Spinel stared at the gem that clattered onto the floor and listened as the noise bounced off the walls of Pink Diamond’s armory. For a moment all time seemed to stand still.

Had she? Had she defeated…a topaz guard?

Spinel stared at the gem and sucked in a breath, she looked around and could see that the amethyst guard was no longer there with her. She must’ve ran off when she saw what the small pink gem had done to the topaz and must’ve gone off to get back up. Well Spinel had another reason to leave Homeworld. The small gem made a beeline towards the warp pad and while putting the weapon that she grabbed in her gem for safe keeping. She needed to get out of here she just defeated a giant topaz guard, now as much as she was surprised that someone like herself a small playful spinel managed to take down a giant topaz guard made her so surprised she was also fearing the consequences .

Spinel had defected a high ranking guard, if they found her they would surely punish her. Spinel swallowed hard thinking of all the terrible things they could,possibly do to her making her shiver in fear. They could shatter her if found guilty . Which would obviously be the case since she had dissipated another gems form with a weapon which wasn’t technically hers. Would that make her a their? , The small pink gem shuttered of what the new pink diamond would do if he ever got his hands on her. The thought alone made Spinel scared, she couldn’t nor wouldn’t want to think of what could happen to her except a shattering of course. Spinel stepped onto the transportation device which wished her away from her diamonds weapon room and when she felt herself finding her destination Spinel promptly fell flat on her face. It had truly been a long time since she used a warp pad. So she was a little rusty, but there was no time for that Spinel needed a place to hide.

Homeworld may be a big planet but under the wasteful eyes of the diamonds it made the planet seem so small. Spinel never thought in all her existence she would defy a Diamond’s orders. Running away from the garden, dissipating a high ranking gem’s form and not only had she escaped….well sort of escaped the new Pink Diamond but now she could be taken to him and be kept as a trinket.

No way!

Spinel didn’t want that, she didn’t want that at all. Spinel could hear the amethyst guard and Pink Diamond’s new replacement, walk off the warp pad to which the small pink gem quickly hid behind a pillar. Spinel wasn’t going to allow them to catch her….not without a challenge. The small pink gem ran in the opposite direction and took a sharp left not caring how many odd looks she got from other gems passing by. Spinel was just happy to be away from both of them. However that feeling was shirt lived as she heard a few shouts from the amethyst guard who was hot on her trail.

“Hey! You! Stop right there!” The purple gem hollered.

Spinel’s body went rigid but she soon enough found herself running again. Nope, nope, nope she did not want any of that. She needed to try and hide somewhere, anywhere. Spinel hurried off making to try and lose them by hiding herself among the vast crowd of gems passing through, however in doing so she felt so many gems staring at her confused,. Spinel looked away not liking their unfriendly looks yet none of those gems stopped her. Perhaps they didn’t want to be involved in whatever it was she had done or didn’t want to get into trouble themselves.

Spinel hurried though taking another sharp left, there weren’t many gems in this area which wasn’t good since she could no longer hide amongst a big crowd. Now they would definitely see a small dirty disheveled pink gem running away from a high authority diamond and a quartz soldier. Spinel ran though, she ran as fast as her little legs could carry her and didn’t dare look back so when Spinel reached what looked to be a bridge she began to panic. Of course she could keep running but Spinel knew eventually there would be help on the way and she would be caught. Spinel as stupid as it sounded got onto the ledge of the bridge and watched as the amethyst guard came to a stop.

“Whoa,! Whoa! hey there’s no need to do that. Let’s just go back to the palace. I'm sure your diamond will understand what happened.” The amethyst said trying to coax the gem off the ledge of the bridge.

Spinel felt a sharp pang in her chest, a hot heat radiating from her gem. She wanted to scream at the purple gem and tell her off that who she saw wasn’t her diamond. Spinel shook her head and gritted her teeth. That new new diamond. He was the one who took her away from Spinel in the first place. Why should she ever bow down to him? Pink was her best friend and he took her away from Spinel. Conflicted feeling began bubbling up inside her head as she shut her eyes.

Was Pink ever her friend?

Did she not love Spinel anymore?

Spinel could feel, tears bubbling up in the corners of her eyes as memories began replaying in her head. The memories all of them were tainted by betrayal and sorrow and Spinel never thought her diamond would do something like this in all her lifetime. Without warning the small pink gem jumped off of the bridge and down into the darkness below.

She secretly hoped she’d die from this.

Oh how wonderful that would be, she would no longer have to feel those horrible negative feelings that made her feel worthless and unloved. Or hear those terrible thoughts that lingered in the back of her head. Instead of feeling a sharp pain and nothing more when falling the small gem felt her body hit the ground with a soft thud and when she groaned, opening her pink eyes and looking around she couldn’t help but feel disappointed that she was still somehow alive. Which meant she would still feel those negative feels and emotions she had no clue how to deal with. It was unpleasant but Spinel slowly got up and winced almost falling during the process. Luckily the young gem managed to use a wall for support to lean her eight against and keep her upright. Her legs were so sore and her back and feet were hurting so much. At least she managed to get away from the supposed new diamond and amethyst guard.

Question was. Where on Homeworld was she? Spinel never seen anything like this. She was always brought to the palace and straight back to the garden and Spinel even inside the palace wasn’t allowed in certain places most of which were near the Diamond’s chambers. She was however allowed to enter Pink’s room and Spinel was so happy spending many happy hours playing together and before she knew it she was taken away back to the garden. Well it was fun while it lasted. With sad eyes the small pink spinel waved goodbye to her diamond and watched as her beloved friend disappeared into the bright blue light of the warp pad, but now Spinel had no clue where she was.

Well only one thing left to do now, find another way out of Homeworld. She couldn’t stay in Homeworld anymore, not after what she did. Escaping a diamond, going against diamond orders despite her diamond already being long gone and dissipating a high ranking gems form. Nope, she was no longer able to return now. There would only be a good shattering for her. Spinel shook with fear. No, no, no. She didn’t want that she didn’t want to be killed. The tiny pink gem looked around frantically. Where should she go? Were they gonna find her? Spinel swallowed thickly and proceeded to walk forward, or they might find her. The small gem hurried and kept walking for what seemed like forever. Her legs aches up once again and the small pink gem needed to stop for a small break. Her legs were killing her. Spinel sighed and looked around where she was before groaning softly rubbing her back where the pain spiked up. Spinel could see that in the rocks were small holes were gems must’ve emerged from.

Was this?....Was this once a kindergarten? That would make sense due to the holes she saw. Spinel continued to walk and stopped when she heard a strange noise. She stood still listening closely for the noise and then it came again. It sounded like a drone like device and the small pink gem caught sight of what she was hearing. It was a round metal sphere with a glowing red light in the center of it. There came a strange noise emitting from the metal sphere as it scanned an area with a red light and proceeded to fly over s different location. Spinel tilted her head.

How strange. Were they looking for something?

There was no time to think as Spinel turned and yelped seeing the same machine behind her and without fail scanned her until the bright red light reached her gem. Spinel didn’t even have a chance of understanding what was happening and watched in horror as the machine turned violent attempting to yank her gem out. Spinel gave out a shriek as she stumbled back away from the now deadly device narrowly escaping its grasp. She idiot understood why that machine wanted to do that but she decided it was best not to know. So the small gem took off running away and running as fast as her small pink legs could go and could see in the corner of her eye that the first machine that tried yanking her gem out was hot on her trail. Spinel gasped seeing another machine coming at her at full force. She was done for, there was two of them coming at her and nowhere for the small pink gem to run. Spinel froze in fear shutting and biting her lip as tears formed in her pink eyes. Was this how she goes out?

Spinel shook and shuttered fear freezing her in place and slicing right down her very core. Suddenly the small gem felt her hand being grabbed and pulled into a small secret cove and the small pink gem squealed as the two machines quickly flew past each other . Spinel watched with scared yet shocked eyes as the machine slowly flew off in an attempt to look for something else. Spinel painted softly she was so lucky if whoever this gem was hadn’t helped her she might have been good as shattered.

The small spinel stared up at the two gems who looked to be connected or maybe that was the darkness playing tricks with her eyes. Or so she thought, a red light appeared coming from their red gem which was located on their navel. Spinel could only stare in horror she didn’t know what she was staring at was real. Two gems connected by the hip. Before Spinel opened her mouth about to scream in terror a hand immediately pressed against her mouth silencing her.

“Shh.” The left gem said putting a dingle hand to their mouth looking worried.

“If you make too much noise p, that machine that was following you might find us.” The right gem told her.

Spinel stared at them wanting to speak but her throat felt so dry and raspy talking felt almost impossible for her. That and the years of not using her own voice must’ve taken it’s terrible toll with her. However the small gem still shook as she was scared of seeing something completely different. She didn’t even know what type of them they were.

“Hey it’s okay.” The left one said calmly.

“We won’t hurt you.” The right one spoke.

Spinel looked up and smiled softly at them she didn’t want to be rude but knew that speaking right now wasn’t really an option. She was great fun that they seemed to understand...well a little.

“You're not hurt are you?” The right gem asked.

Spinel shook her head

“C'mon we should go.” The left gem said calmly.

Spinel nodded and followed the two strange red gems down into the depths of the cavern. Spinel was relieved though they seemed to be far away from those scary machines and there seemed to be more emergence holes. Spinel wondered where they were going and honestly wanted to ask since it was probably best that she didn’t follow complete strangers but than again they did save her life so were they honestly strangers?

“We’re the Rutile twins by the way.” The right gem said to the small pink spinel.

“Who are you?” The left twin asked.

Spinel opened her mouth trying to say something p, anything but nothing came out. She tried again hearing something raspy come from her mouth which ended up swindling her into a coughing fit. It hurt. It really did hurt. Spinel could feel a bit of blood get onto her hands as she coughed trying to regain air. Despite not needing any. Both twins panicked a little when seeing her distressful display.

“H-hey! You don’t need to talk if you don’t want to. We understand.” The left twin cried.

Spinel painted softly her coughing dying down and she nodded wiping off the pink blood off of her bottom lip. She had no clue what had happened, she was just trying to speak and then last thing she knew she was coughing out blood. Six thousand years without talking really did mess her up she figured. Spinel shuttered not wanting to dwell on why she was unable to speak and simply followed the two Rutile twins and stopped when she heard a voice.

“I will predict that the Rutile twins will return safely and bring a new gem into our quarters,” a small orange gem chimed.

“We know Padparadscha, it already happened.” Another voice said coming out of their hole they had four arms and four eyes and at first it started Spinel seeing something so different causing her to yelp put in fear which caused the other gem to cry out in fear as well.

“Hey it’s okay, it’s just our friend Rhodonite. She won’t hurt you.” One of the twins said calmly reassuring the frightened spinel.

Spinel on the other hand felt terrible for scaring another gem who most definitely didn’t deserve to get scared. The small gem opened her mouth in attempt to apologize to the gem she spooked but knew that talking would prove to be pointless and she closed her mouth. The small pink gem instead gave the fusion gem an apologetic look to which Rhodonite seemed to acknowledge.

“I-Kts alright I’m sorry if I scared you too.” Rhodonite said and took notice of Spinel’s gem.

“W-wait? Your gem is a perfect cut. I’ve never seen a gem like yours before.” She said calmly.

“Maybe she’s a special gem?” Padparadscha said cheerfully.

“What type of gem?” Rhodonite asked out loud.

Spinel remained quiet as she stared at the two gems and gasped when her eyes caught something lurking around behind the two gems causing her to gasp and back away in fear.

“Oh that’s Fluorite she won’t hurt you.” Padparadscha states calmly.

Spinel nodded but she still seemed afraid of the odd looking gem.

“So what’s your name?” The orange sapphire asked.

Spinel looked down feeling sad for a moment unable to speak.

“She can’t talk.” The left Rutile twin said, placing a hand on her shoulder.

“She can’t?” Came a sad tone from Rhodonite.

“So sad.” Padparadscha said, looking swd.

Spinel looked away ashamed for being unable to speak.

“It’s alright. You don’t need to...if you don’t want to.” Said a slow toned voice from Fluorite.

Spinel looked up junking from what she saw but smiled and tried not to get so spooked by the gem she was seeing. Spinel was grateful. These gems, they understood her situation.

“We shouldn’t waste too much time Lars is waiting for us.” Rhodonite said.

“Right.” Both twins said in union.

“I will predict that captain Lars will be waiting for us to leave.” Padparadscha chimed.

Everyone began heading down another secret tunnel of the underground of Homeworld and . It was so strange Spinel could see so many holes of where gems had emerged from. Who knew that there were underground tunnels and kindergartens down here. Spinel could see from the other side of the tunnel that there was a spaceship waiting for them. There standing near the ship was a tall pink thing that Spinel couldn’t seem to recognize. They didn’t appear to be a gem that the small spinel had seen before, granted she never saw any gems ever since she was placed in the garden, but the tall pink creature didn’t seem to even look like a gem nor have one. So this must be Kars as the other gems called him

The pink captain looked to be wearing a cape and some gloves having a captain like appearance. His eyes scanned the small pink gem and he looked at the two Rutile twins as they spoke explaining the situation.

“We found her in the caverns.” The left twin said.

“We wanted to bring her along with us.” The right twin replied.

Lars as stared at the small pink gem and listened as the small orange sapphire spoke up.

“Can she come?” Padparadscha asked sweetly. Lars remained quiet which scared the small gem as she desperately needed needed to get out of Homeworld, she was deathly afraid of being shattered for her crimes of what she had done, she didn’t think she could fathom what they might do to her when they find her.

“She can come.” Came a calm voice p.

Spinel sighed relived on hearing that but looked up as he spoke again.

“I will ask, what’s a gem like you doing all the way here?” He asked her gesturing to her perfect cut gem.

Spinel stared at the pink human and looked down knowing of what would come next.

“She cannot talk.” Florite said slowly.

Lars nodded and stared at the small pink gem sensing her frustration.

The pink teen closed his eyes and sighed. They needed to get moving.

“C'mon let’s go. I don’t want anyone to find us.” Lars replied, turning to head into the ship.

Spinel jumped at the mention of being found, if she was caught she would have to find somewhere else to hide, or worse. She followed the gems inside the ship and watched as the ship's doors closed; this was it. She would leave Homeworld for good. In all honestly it did make her feel very sad thinking about how she’ll never be able to see her diamond again, how she’ll never be able to play in the garden like they used to or how she’ll never be able to see her beloved friend Pearl again. Spinel could feel her eyes water but she sucked in a breath. No, she couldn’t think of going back now. There was nothing there for her anymore. There were no games, no friends, and no joy. Just the dying garden and she didn’t want to got there anymore. Spinel shuttered, wiping her wet eyes. No she didn’t want to stay in that scary garden any longer it made her gem ache and her mind spiral downwards into not so nice thoughts.

Spinel stared out of the windows and watched as they flew out in one of the cave’s openings and into the sky and away from the machine-like planet. Spinel looked at the world below her staring at the white, yellow, blue and pink buildings and towers. It was so bizarre to see. All those years spent in the garden and only now was she seeing Homeworld. It both frustrated and saddened Spinel, but she tried to not think about it too much. She didn’t want to start crying all over again like a big baby.

‘Like a big crybaby that you were a useless whiny baby that Pink hated,’ her mind hissed.

Spinel teared her eyes away from the window when the pink boy spoke up.

“Since you're here now, can you tell us who you are? Or how you ended with the Rutile twins?” Lars asked her.

Spinel looked at him, opened her mouth and closed her mouth as she looked down, unable to speak. She gently tapped her throat and shook her head as if to tell him her unfortunate situation.

“Ah right forget, my bad.” The pink teen said and dug around for something.

Spinel looked away for a brief moment but gasped softly when this nice thing other than a gem handed her a pad of somwesort and a thin object.

“Can you write?” Lars asked her.

Spinel stared confused tilting her head. The young captain sighed . Right aliens he forgot. Yet he was determined to get any information about this gem.

“Well as you can guess I’m Lars. I’m captain of this ship.” The young teen said.

Spinel looked at him and smiled kindly at him which drew relief from the young captain. Well at least she understood what he was saying. That was a start.

“I assume you already met the off-colors.” He said.

The small gem stared at him confused.

“He means us.” Rhodonite added.

The small gem turned to face the odd gem and pointed as if to say ‘you guys.’

The Rutile twins nodded the right one speaking.

“Yes, that’s us. We were hiding from the machines you saw.”

“We needed to remain hidden so Homeworld wouldn’t find us.” The left Rutile twin said.

“If they did find us.” The left one said looking away.

“We would be shuttered without question.” The right twin said finishing the sentence for her other half.

Spinel gasped softly pink eyes darting around anxiously.

“It’s okay though, as long as we get to earth and meet with the rest we should be safe.” Lars said, trying to ease the sacred gem.

Spinel looked at the captain of the ship and replayed what he arias. Meet the rest? Did he mean that there were more gems? Gems like the Rutile twins and gems like Padparadscha and Rhodonite? Spinel remained silent thinking to herself. Earth, they were heading to earth? Was he being serious? Spinel snapped out of her daze when she heard the small orange sapphire speak up.

“What about you?” Padparadscha asked Spinel.

Spinel looked down trying to think for a bit, even though she was unable to speak and didn’t understand or know how to write she decided that she could maybe draw something out and try to explain her situation. Lars and the rest of the gems looked on as the small pink spinel began exposing her story in a drawing. First she should probably tell them her name. The little disheveled gem did her best to draw out the garden in space. She drew a large rock with a dome around it and herself surrounded by flowers and all organic matter.

“Is that….where you came..,from?” Florite asked slowly.

Spinel nodded..

“So you came from a garden in space.” One of the Rutile twins said out loud.

Spinel nods again.

“Alright. What else?” Lars asked.

Spinel hummed and began writing in very old gem language her name. At first it didn’t seem like anyone on ship seemed to understand the old text but Fluorite smiled.

“Spinel.” She said slowly yet there was a happy calm feeling in her voice.

“Huh?” One of the twins asked.

“That’s her name.” Florite said calmly.

Everyone on board looked at the small gem and smiled. Happy to know her name finally after some time without her even speaking and Lars smiled kindly at her.

“Welcome aboard Spinel.” He said causing the small gem to giggle happily though tege were some coughs mixed in with it.

Spinel then proceeded to draw her diamond, Pink Diamond.

“That’s your diamond who you served.” Padparadscha chimed cheerfully.

Spinel paused but nodded.

The small pink gem shows them her diamond asking yet not receiving a colony, then after asking so many times she finally gets a colony of her own. Earth. Spinel begins to draw herself and her diamond, both of them smiling and the small gem sucks in a breath trying to steady her hand as it keeps shaking. Spinel proceeds to draw Pink stopping Spinel from coming to earth. Spinel shutters But continues on drawing Pink telling her to wait in the garden. The off colors remain quiet noting her slight distress. Spinel slowly and carefully begins draws out her diamond telling her that this was a game and draws herself standing there with a smile.

The small spinel The begins drawing the garden dying off, the flowers withering the trees dying the garden losing its color becoming pale and disgusting it's once beautiful stature now lay in ruins for all those who are unfortunate to stumble upon it. However that’s when things began getting disturbing as Spinel began drawing the garden in a much heavier darker line with the pencil as she began to eerily and realistically depict what it was like for her. The dying grass in the garden rotted before her eyes. Pillars of the garden crumbled before her, the trees twisting and bark falling off of them while the breaches looked like massive hands ready to snatch anything up in their path. The flowers withered and dead shriveled up into morning but a disgusting disfigured plant and the butterflies no more as they too died alongside the garden. The pounds were nothing more but a sickly looking black goo with dead and dried plants of once water lilies and such. It overall looked dreadful to be in and her details in the drawing was nightmare fuel.

Spinel breathed heavily, her eyes were shaking and she was practically trembling, she she had managed to draw herself standing all alone in the dying garden and as she stared at the drawing she made she could feel an onslaught of tears flooding her eyes and she was unable to hold them back as she felt the, spill down her cheeks. It reminded whist as Lars spoke in a soft and gentle tone.

“She left you behind..” He whispered.

Hey everyone before you read aid like to point out in this AU fusions are one being. Meaning that two gems didn’t need to do a fusion dance in order to make a fusion it’s just a one being. However gems cam still do fusion dances and create more fusions of their one its just some fusions are one being, I’ve been wanting to make something like this but I wasn’t sure how I’d go about it. Sorry if this doesn’t explain much you can ask me some things in the comments below and be sure to put down a comment of the story. :3 please enjoy.

Thousands of light years away laid an asteroid in the middle of space and there from that asteroid lay a garden rotting and in ruin. It had once held such glorious beauty, blooming beautiful flowers and organic life. However that was years ago and now the unfortunate garden was left to waste away in decay. The in the rotting garden stood a small pink gem standing so perfectly still hands clasped together and a smile that was beginning to fade from her soft features. Yet she stood there waiting patiently for her diamond.

Pink Diamond.

Before leaving the garden to go to earth, which Spinel desperately wanted to go with. The small gem remembers clinging to Pink Diamond’s arms wanting her to stay a little longer and play a little more. Spinel at that time couldn't see the annoyed look on her diamond ‘s face. The flash of annoyance was gone as soon as it came, Pink Diamond kneed down to eye level with the pink heart shaped gem and told her that they could play one more game before she had to leave. Pink had told the small naive little gem to stand still and wait. A waiting game.

“Now remember Spinel. Stand very still.” Pink Diamond said booping Spinel on her nose.

“This'll be so much fun.” Chimed the innocent pink gem not knowing the true horrors and psychological damage she would face in her game.

Spinel watched as her beloved diamond walked off not even looking back not even once, it stung a little but the small pink gem brushed it off as her diamond would come back for her and they could play all sorts of games in her new colony. So Spinel waited and waited, night after night all alone in the garden. Spinel normally didn't like being alone but she tried to focus on winning the game her diamond made up. So the small pink gem smiled brightly looking up at the warp,pad.

She wanted to make her diamond proud. Spinel had lately been causing Pink to become upset with her which caused her diamond to have to ‘punish’ her. Like pulling her hair, kicking, slapping, pinching, whipping or beating her. Calling her really mean names. Throwing her against pillars and threatening to shatter her if she didn't behave. Humiliating her in front of other gems and threatening to break up their friendship. Spinel sniffed trying hard not to think about those horrible memories and blinking away tears. She swallowed a painful lump and tried to keep a happy face.

She was just being a naughty gem and it was normal for her diamond to put herein her place when she was acting out. It was because Spinel was being a very bad girl. So she must deserve those things….right?

…..right?

However the game she and Pink were playing began to last a pretty long time and yet Spinel was determined to win no matter how long it took.

Oh if only she knew.

The game was pretty boring Spinel had to admit and the more days passed on Spinel had taken up on star gazing to try and pass the time. It was so beautiful, the night sky full of so many stars, they looked to be smiling down on the small pink gem waiting in the garden. Pink doll like eyes stared up at the glittering stars that shined bright above her. The small heart shaped gem began counting some of them smiling as she did so. Spinel after some time of counting stars signed wondering how long it had truly been . Spinel looked around the garden again. Had the flowers always looked so….sad.

Spinel’s eyes gazed at a couple of golden flowers that looked to be withered, the small gem fought the urge to move and tend to them and felt a small knot form in her stomach.. Something about this game didn't…..didn't feel right. Spinel shook her head trying to bury all those weird feelings she was feeling. Her diamond would eventually come for her. She was playing this game right.

Wasn't she?

Spinel had to be doing this right. Spinel looked away from the warp pad and up at the stars again. She just needed to be patient that's all. So as hours turned to days and days into weeks which turned into months Spinel could see that the garden was changing. Not right away but slowly.

Slow and painful.

It started with a couple of flowers that withered and Spinel tried her best to not pay attention but then more and more flows began dying off and Sponel began to get nervous and the poor pink gem began feeling a pit of helplessness. When her favorite flowers, the beautiful blue forget-me-nots , withered away and died off, it was the very first time in a long time Spunel cried. She wept sorrowful tears of sadness at the uncork ate loss of her favorite flowers.

Little did Spinel know that there would be many incidents that she would shed more painful and bitter tears. Spinel sniffed and found herself unable to rub and wipe them away. She could only allow them to stream down her cheeks and drip down her chin.

Spinel sniffed as a few hiccups came out of her. She loved those flowers and it was a terrible shame to see them leave and wither and die. Spinel hadn't felt this sad since Pink had…...had. Spinel’s face scrunched up in pain and sorrow as she didn't want to think about ‘that’ memory. The thought made Spinel psychically ill. The nasty, dirty feeling. The tainting, the cold,floor. Spinel didn't want to think about it. The thought alone made Spinel begin to cry all over again.

Something about crying and having no one to wipe them up made the poor gem feel even more alone. It was just the unable ability to while her wet eyes made her want to cry even more. She was all alone. Absolutely no one was here and she was thousands of light years from Homeworld. Spinel really wanted to play this game with her diamond but...it was terribly lonely and dreadfully boring. Spinel only hoped that her beloved best friend would return safely. Spinel missed her. Sponel loved her. So the small gem waited.

...And waited

….And waited

….And waited.

Spinel looked around the garden which was terribly unkept and slowly becoming more and more dead. Spinel swallowed a painful lump in her throat, when Pink Diamond returned Spinel could tend to the garden and make it all pretty again. The sweet thought seemed to ease the tiny pink gem.

She just needed to wait a little longer.

Her diamond would come soon and say that she had won the game and Pink Diamond would tell her that she was a good gem, scooping her up into her arms and finally taking her to earth. Spinel smiled wistfully at that thought and stared up at the warp,pad. That's when the small gem noticed that there were more stars out than usual. More stars than she had counted before.

How much time had passed?

Spinel shoved her questions aside and smiled beginning to count the newly found stars she was given. Jerez there were so many stars but luckily Spinel was a good counter and managed to count all of them she could see. It was a good distraction but that's when the garden began to descend down into darkness.

Spinel’s legs hurt from standing so long, she wasn't used to standing this still for long periods of time. She was meant to run, jump and play.

Not this.

This was a game...so it should be fun right?

Spinel looked at the warp pad…..again.

If this was a game, why wasn't she having fun? Or at least she thought she wasn't having fun. Spinel sighed, she just needed to wait was all, maybe she wasn’t seeing the true nature to this game. The small pink gem kept her eyes closed but listened as there came a crumbling sound not too far from her. The noise had snapped her out of herd and the small gem turned to see that one of the pillars had crumbled to the ground from where it had once proudly stood.

Spinel had yelped our in fear when she saw it happen as the loud noise echoed against the glass dome of the garden. Spinel stared at the pillars around her some managed to remain while most were in shambles with vines weaving between their cracks and broken pieces. It was sad but Spinel tried to not think about them, maybe they could get a bismuth gem to fix up. Spinel winced in pain again. Her legs hurt for sure but her feet were absolutely killing her. Spinel glanced down with her eyes and gasped when she saw that vines had entangled her ankles and feet keeping her in place. There were sharp thorn growing on them which would explain the uncomfortable pain she was feeling.

How?....how did these get here?! How long was she standing still for?! Spinel swallowed a painful lump as she looked on at the overgrown and dying garden. What could possibly be taking her diamond so long? The small pink gem looked up at the sky again, there were so many pretty stars out, many, many more. Where did all the time go?

Did time even excise?

Spinel could feel her heart sink a little. The small gem tried to convince herself that it was just a coincidence and her diamond was just running a little late that was all. Pink Diamond would come fro her soon. She was her best friend after all. She cared about Spinel.

….right?

Spinel could feel her stomach twist and turn. What if...what if her diamond wasn’t coming back? Spinel didn’t like that thought and decided to not think about it too much. She was her diamind’s playmate, her best friend. She had to come back….right? Spinel could feel tears bubble up in the corners of her eyes, she began to doubt herself and it didn’t feel good.

‘Why isn’t she back yet?’ ‘Is she still colonizing earth?’ ‘Am I doing this right?’

Spinel’s mind began to spiral.

‘What I’d I’m not doing this right!’

Spinel bit her lip and shuttered. She didn’t like to think that she had been playing wrong the entire time. That made her stomach hurt more and then there came a sharp pang in her chest that made her wince in discomfort.

What was she doing wrong?

Spinel gasped softly a thought came about, was it because she was looking up at the stars? Instead of the warp pad. The small pink gem bit her lip and kept her eyes fixated on the transportation device instead of gazing at the stars. There were so many of them now she didn’t think she could keep count. Besides once Pink returned they could count as many as they liked. So the small gem in the rotting garden waited….and waited.

Spunel’s back and legs were aching so bad right now, she desperately wanted to stretch or take a break from standing. Spinel’s ankles and feet wer3 so sore she didn’t think she could stand any longer. The vines were entangled and wrapped around the young gem’s legs and they felt as if they were beginning to embed themselves into her feet. It hurt….it hurt a lot. Spinel tried to look on the bright side. Her diamond would come for her her diamond would bring her back to earth and-

‘Stop. She isn’t coming for you.’ Spinel gasped she didn’t like that voice, it cold, and unforgiving. The small pink gems sniffed.

‘She doesn’t want to play with you anymore.’ Her mind hissed.

Spinel bit her lip she didn’t want to think about any of that. It hurt to think about the bad thoughts. She didn’t like it. Pink was coming Spinel just had to wait a little longer. Spinel could feel another wave of tears on-flowing in her eyes but tried her best to hold them back. Spinel didn’t want to cry but knew that was easier said than done. Spinel began blinking away tears and swallowed a painful lump in her throat. She didn’t want to hear that scary and cold voice in the back of her head anymore but hadn’t known that it was only the beginning. That voice would continue on talking to her whether she liked it or not.

Spinel just needed to wait.

How long had Pink Diamond leave? Spinel tried to remember, it must’ve been awhile ago bu5 now the garden truly was overgrown and was slowly rotting away. It was horrible to watch as the one place she come to love was being destroyed right in front of her. Spinel wept pitifully as she stared at the garden which lay in ruin. Even the pond was changing; the once clean and clear water was now a nasty green-black looking goo. Spinel hadn’t realized that her own appearance had changed too.

Her hair was messy and tangled, her appearance was dirty and unkept and her gem was dull and had lost its shine it had once had; years of grime had caused it to lose its glorious gleam. It would be alright Spinel tried to reassure herself. Surely her diamond would understand why she looked the way she did and get all cleaned up and have a good laugh. It would be alright.

Right?

Spinel sniffed staring at the warp,pad and then she saw it go off a blue flash cake from the transportation device and Spinel was so close to running off towards it to tell Pink that she was sorry that the garden looked so a mess but….there was nobody there….absolutely no one. Maybe the warp pad was broken? Yes that had to be it. Spinel sighed and continued playing the unfortunate game. To think she was so close to winning that she almost was about to run and lose cause she thought she saw Pink. How silly of her. She decided to brush it off however that’s when she began hearing something...it was a voice. But it wasn’t inside her head this time. It was.,,here...in the garden.

It was her diamond! Pink Diamond. She was here?! Spinel could’ve sworn she heard her diamond giggling. Spinel loved hearing her diamond’s laugh but this time it sounded more…

Malevolent.

Something about it was not right. It was as if her diamond was laughing at her rather than with her. She wasn’t even laughing at her in the good way either. The poor gem had to listen on as her diamond’s voice began to mock her, telling her all sorts of cruel and nasty things. From telling her that she was worthless to she was never intending on coming back for her. It even came down to she never wanted a clingy spinel in the first place let alone a friend like her at all.

“You’re such a stupid naive little gem thinking I woild want a a clingy little toy like you. A pearl is far more superior than you.” Pink Diamond said coldly.

Spinel’s body trembled, her eyes widened in horror. This...this couldn’t be happening. Why?! Why was she saying all of these horrible things?! What had she done to deserve that? Had she truly not played the game right? Was Pink angry that she had lost? Or was it something that she had done that she didn’t know yet.

“Having you as a best friend was the last thing I wanted. You were merely a replacement for my broken pearl. I can’t believe the other diamonds gave me an old and boring toy which became useless to me over time.” Pink’s voice hissed.

Spinel shook violently. She couldn’t believe what she was hearing.

“A gem who was so clingy and needy, so annoying you were practically begging for your shattering. You were just a disgusting little parasite p. Clinging to whatever showed it a small amount of attention and love.” Pink Diamond laughed cruelly.

Spinel whimpered choking back painful sobs that she desperately wanted to release. She didn’t want to hear any of this she didn’t want to hear what else her diamond disliked about her. Spinel shuttered as she heard her diamond speak again.

“I hated everything about you Spinel. I hated the way you walked, the way you spoke in that annoyingly high pitched voice. The way your shoes made that awful squeaky sound. I hated how you were presented to me in such a disgraceful fashion with her stupid baby like appearance and your heart buns and clothes. Everyone looked down on me for having such a childish gem like you. They all treated me like a less than...all because of you.” Pink Diamond hissed bitterly.

Spinel shook tremors racked her frame as her eyes wr blinded and blurred by the tears of sorrow that streamed down her soft cheeks. Spinel shut her eyes, her face contorting in pain as she listened on. Was this true?! Had she really been so terribly to her diamond that she was the rea- Spinel opened her eyes to see that...no one was here….it was just her. The small pink gem had blinked..but she had seen...she had seen Pink Diamond..

Hadn’t she?

Spinel blinked a couple more times and shuttered. Maybe….maybe it was all in her head. Maybe Spinel might have imagined all of that stuff. The pink gem didn’t know what happened, it sounded like Pink but Spinel could never see if it was really her. Whatever it was it was both scary and buzzard. Spinel had no idea what had happened to her. Spinel really wanted to move but couldn’t bring herself to investigate the sounds she heard. It was due to fear of upsetting her diamond and fear of what could be in the garden with her.

Spinel tried to ignore the dark feelings and the prickling paranoia that crept up in the back of her head. The young gem couldn’t wrap her Brian around it that she had heard her diamond but hadn’t seen her go through the warp pad. The pink heart shaped gem sighed, she hoped that her diamond would come back soon, she desperately wanted wanted to play something other than this game and move around again.

Her legs, ankles, feet and back were killing her and Spinel was getting awfully tied. Spinel slowly began thinking that what if her diamond really wasn’t coming for her? This left a painful feeling to rattle in her gem causing Spinel to wince and whimper. Pink wouldn’t forget her. Would she? Spinel bit her lip to the point that she had accidentally made it bleed. That was the odd thing about her, most gems don’t bleed yet..,Spinel did somehow.

How strange. Maybe she could ask Oink about it when she got back? Spinel grimaced at the taste of her own blood. That metallic metal taste was both bitter and gross. Then there was a bright pink flash that grabbed the young gem’s attention. Spinel knew that it was the garden's communicator and turned to face it. Was it Pink? Had she connected to the communicator to tell Spinel that she was coming to get her and to be patient.
