Padparadscha sapphire and ruby sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G 😍😍😍💏💏💋💞💞💞

“Pada...something Sapphire? I don’t know who that is.”

She starts to blush, though, at the teasing.

Please protect them both!!

“That does sounds fun, but…”

“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!”

“Yeah I can definitely do that. I’ve been picking flowers all morning and there’s a bunch of pink and red ones.” She sat down across from the other Ruby. She took a bunch of red and pink daises and began twisting them in her vine.  “Do you wanna make one too?”

Leggy nodded, pleased to hear that the colors of flowers she requested had already been acquired.

She was then asked if she wanted to make one too, and her eyes lit up. The other rubies might not have approved, but she had to admit she quite liked the look of these ‘flower crowns.’ It was just Navy there, too, and she supposed she could get away with making a flower crown without the others finding out. “Well... Sure! Can you show me how to make one, though?”

     “No,” That, at least, seemed to irritate the ruby enough for her to lift her face out of the dirt. “This is not our home. Our home is-” Her torso was hefted upright on strong arms, and the older soldier all but glared daggers at the younger. She’d never wanted to hit a gem fresh out of the Kindergarten before. 

                                  It’s not her fault, she doesn’t know, it’s not her fault, SHE DOESN’T KNOW. 

     “Our home is Homeworld. We- we belong on Homeworld!” 

Leggy creased her brows, sitting there in a sullen silence. If their home was Homeworld, and they were trapped there on Earth, then something was very wrong.

Yet, Eyeball looked like she was about ready to just give up. Leggy couldn’t understand why the other gem would give up so easily, especially considering how much the other gem seemed to revile the planet Earth. That, and she hadn’t seen the gem give up before.

Though the gem hadn’t had long enough to develop any strong opinion on Earth herself, if the other rubies disliked it, she disliked it, and she was determined to get away from it.

“Then we should go back, right?” she insisted. “We can’t just give up!”

Considering Garnet could be pretty intimidating when she was looming over other gems like that, Leggy could appreciate that Garnet had knelt down to her level. 

She reached out to grab Garnet’s hand, to get a closer look, and gave a small gasp of surprise when she saw the Ruby Gem. “Yeah… That really does look just like my gem!” 

Her eyes were drawn to the other gem next, though, and she placed a tentative hand on it. Leggy had not gotten the chance to meet many gems in the short span of time between being made and being sent off to her first mission, so Sapphires were completely foreign to her. “That’s a Sapphire? I’ve never met a Sapphire before. What are they like?”

“Mmhmm,” Garnet answered, smiling all the while. She had no problems in answering Leggy’s questions. This ruby just was easy to talk to, and she needed the time taken to talk to her. It just seemed right.

“It doesn’t surprise me that you’ve never met one. Sapphires are rare Gems,” she said. “They’re very elegant, and beautiful…” That could have been a Ruby thought slipping through. Then again, it wasn’t hard to mask it. Ruby really did think that Sapphire was the most beautiful Gem to ever grace the world. Others might have disagreed.

“They seem cold and unfeelin’ on the surface, but that’s only because they can see the future. They know what to expect a lot of the time. But when you take the time to talk to ‘em… To get to know ‘em, you’ll see how kind and understandin’ they are. Sapphire… She’s someone Ruby essentially can’t imagine livin’ without,” Garnet explained. It was true enough. Garnet herself couldn’t live without either of them. She would always exist within them, but couldn’t exist without them.

“Really? A gem that can see into the future?” Apparently, gems came with a lot more powers than she had previously thought. Whoever these Sapphires were, with the ability to see into the future and all, must have been powerful, high-ranking gems. That, and Garnet’s flowery description of her made Leggy feel like Sapphires were a gem to be admired. “Sapphires sound pretty amazing the way you describe them.”

The fact that they were actually fused together, however, was a subject of confusion. It went against what very little she did know, in fact. “So like... A Ruby and Sapphire can actually fuse together? I didn’t think we could even fuse with other gems... Especially not with higher-ups.”

leggy.

@aeipathic liked this post for a starter

“To be honest, I’m not really sure what’s going on.”

It had all been a whirlwind: The trip to the moon, being sucked into space, and eventually being picked up in the ruby ship and being brought back to Earth. It was a lot that had happened in a short amount of time, and Leggy was struggling to keep up. 

It was made even more confusing by fact that the enemy seemed to be helping them.

“Aren’t you supposed to be the enemy?”

     To be entirely honest, Pearl hadn’t been quite sold on the idea of bringing back the rubies in the first place. True, leaving them stranded in space was a little harsh, but Pearl would shed no tears over it if it ensured their own safety. But Steven was adamant, and she had to admit that it was probably better to keep an eye on them here on Earth than run the risk that they’d somehow manage to get back to Homeworld on their own.

     Besides. Rubies weren’t really all that dangerous.

     “Yes, well,” she sighed at the ruby - given the general confusion, she was pretty sure this was the newly-made one, though she was still working on being able to tell them apart. “As long as you don’t try to betray us to Homeworld, we don’t have to be enemies.” And if they did try to betray them, Pearl was more than prepared to poof them in an instant. “Whatever Homeworld may have told you, we aren’t a menace to Gemkind. We just want to be left alone.”

“But you already tricked us like, twice, and all we wanted to do was find that Gem Jasper.”

She’d been told only the bare minimum on the Crystal Gems and, well, anything, so most of what she’d learned about them had been from tidbits spoken from her fellow Rubies and from living experience. What she did gather from that very little, though, was that the Crystal Gems would resort to all kinds of trickery if need be.

It didn’t help, either, that she learned recently that one of the Crystal Gems had shattered a Diamond. She didn’t trust them, but also she feared them.

“How do I know this all isn’t some other trick?”

While she was right about Pearl being unable to kick her, she hadn’t been expecting Pearl to just pick her up. All she could really do, then, was dangle helplessly as Pearl confronted her.

Pearl was threatening to kick her back to space, and that, needless to say, made her very nervous. It was a miracle that she’d finally gotten back on solid ground, and she certainly didn’t want to go through that again, especially if she had to make a crash landing again. She had very little doubt in her mind, either, that Pearl was capable of kicking her back into space. She’d seen the Crystal Gems do some strange things, and kicking someone to space hardly seemed out of line among those things.

“I… I don’t know what I’m doing here! I just got here! Without the rest of the squad, I don’t even know what I’m supposed to be doing,” she hurriedly explained, desperate to avoid such a fate this time. “Please don’t kick me back into space…?”

Pearl opened her mouth to snap that of course she couldn’t actually kick the little ruby back into space, but then she reconsidered.  This one’s naivete could actually work in her favor.  Assuming it wasn’t an act like that other one…  But this ruby was a much darker red than the rest of her squad, and though the shade of a Gem wasn’t always indicative of their age, hadn’t one of the others called this one “newbie”?  “Fine, I’m not going to kick you back into space.  Yet.”

“How old are you, anyway?”  That seemed to be a safe enough question.  And it might give her some more insight in how to deal with this one and how much of a threat she might actually be.  Any Homeworld Gem could be dangerous, but a newly-made ruby might pose somewhat less of a threat.

It was reassuring to hear that Pearl wasn’t planning to kick her back into space, though the added in ‘yet’ made her a bit nervous. Did that mean Pearl was just going to kick her back into space later, or did it just mean she’d only get kicked back into space if she did something wrong? She honestly wasn’t sure, but that was hardly a new feeling for her.

“Well... I’m only a few months old, if I recall correctly. That mission we were sent to Earth for was my first mission, and I’d only been around for a few days.” She hadn’t gotten the chance to see many gems, or really much of Homeworld, before she was shoved off on a mission with the rest of the Ruby squad. Most of what she learned in between then was from experience, or from being told so by her fellow Rubies. “Is it that obvious I’m new to it all?”

[gemnewbie-blog]

Woah, since when did this happen?

Leggy didn’t know what recent events Pearl was talking about, but she certainly wasn’t going to just allow herself to be kicked away like that.

So, in what was supposed to be a genius idea on her part, she grabbed on to the other gem’s leg.

“Ha! Now you can’t kick me!”

“What?!”  She tried not to shriek, but…seriously?  Stars, where had this ruby even come from?  Pearl wasn’t sure it was worth worrying about at that point.  If one could re-enter the atmosphere…  

This one seemed almost playful, rather than angry.  Of course, Navy had been…obnoxious, actually, if Pearl really wanted to be honest about it.  The sweetness had been cloying.  Even their Ruby, who was a genuine sweetheart, had a bit of an edge to her.

However, she definitely couldn’t kick the ruby attached to her leg; that much was right.  Pearl rolled her eyes and grabbed the ruby by the shoulders, pulling her off and lifting her to be at eye level.  “This would be an excellent time to tell me exactly what you’re doing here…before I do kick you back into space. “ She was exaggerating, of course, but surely the ruby could figure that much out.

While she was right about Pearl being unable to kick her, she hadn’t been expecting Pearl to just pick her up. All she could really do, then, was dangle helplessly as Pearl confronted her.
