Orange Steven AU. Episode one: Found. Part: 1

—————————————————

The Gem looked out onto the empty wall, they really didn’t know how long the were waiting, or even what they were waiting for. There used to be plants there, but those all died. They might of helped them, but when it came done to it, this wasn’t a place plants were supposed to grow. The Gem Looked at their Orange surface, they were a lot like those creatures that roamed here. Maybe that was what they were supposed to do? No, even those creatures were lying to themselves, that wasn’t what they were originally. The Gem may not have known to much about themselves, but they knew that they weren’t lying to themselves about what they were.

The Gem heard a whooshing sound in the distance, and saw a bright blue pillar strike down from the sky that quickly dissipated. The Gem lept up to the top of the cliff to gain a better look. They saw four figures step off a raised circular area of blue rock. One was short and violet, another was a little taller than The Gem and was pale, and another was maroon skined and very tall. The last was even taller, and was pale. Curly pink ornamented their head, and an aura of dishonesty tainted her every action.

The pink one began making noise, these noises brought thoughts in The Gem’s head, in doing so they conveyed meaning.

“Aww, the plants here died”

The maroon one’s eyeless face contorted into a look of confusion.

“There were plants growing here?”

The pale one nodded.

“25 years ago, we tried to get some of them to grow in the Prime Kindergarten, getting the same type of plant, and even cuttings of the original plants. Nothing worked, not even in nearby areas of the site within the Beta Kindergarten, after a year of trying to get it to work we gave up and just hoped it would spread”

The maroon one adjusted their glasses.

“Hmm”

The pink one looked wistful.

“I wonder what happened to them”

The pale one responded.

“To who?”

“To the plants, we never determined why they were growing, and now we have the mystery of why they stopped”

“We may never know”

The maroon one looked on quizzical.

“Can I see the site?”

The pale and pink ones looked to each other and than back at the maroon one.

“Um, sure. Follow us”

They walked to where The Gem used to be standing, and was now Standing motionless above.
