SCREEN NAME: Ophelia REAL NAME: Goes by Cat on Discord, the Plexipedia discussion boards, and roll20. Possibly short for Catherine, Cathleen, or a related name, or possibly just derived from her preferred online username catinthebox. GUILD: Moonstone SPECIES & CLASS: Specter Bard GUILD RANKING: 59th percentile

[ B A S I C S . ]

Ophelia was among the first wave of players to enter into Gem Quest after its initial public launch. She was also among the first players to devote extensive time and resources to creating original items via the game’s crafting system, and to establish a player-made shop to sell her personally crafted items.

Ophelia is a specter bard who plays for the Moonstone Guild. The most recent reports on her activities from other players place her primarily in and around her shop location in the City of Magic in Level 11. From this location, she provides custom equipment, magic items, and repair services.

Her most recent level cleared, according to Plexipedia, was level 36. Ophelia has previously been a member of two parties, according to Discord and Plexipedia users, but left both. At the time of writing, she is thought to be without a party and providing material and crafting support away from the Moonstone front.

She has been linked with the Discord username catinthebox#6439 by Discord users rebelscum#8992 and arches#4731. Through her activity on the official Plexipedia Discord as Cat/catinthebox#6439, she has been heavily involved in discussions of in-game crafting and items since shortly after Gem Quest’s public launch. Under the username catinthebox, she is also a regular contributor to entries on items, materials, and the Gem Quest crafting system and skill tree on Plexipedia. She’s a regular respondent to inquiries about the location and properties of in-game materials, the mechanics and applications of crafting, and GQ lore bites and side quests.

[ S T A T S . ]

The following stats are based on the reports of two former party members with previous access to view Ophelia’s stats. Ophelia’s stats are set as invisible to all players other than party members, and she is currently reported as being without a party. Stats included here may therefore be outdated.

STRENGTH - 0/X*

DEFENSE - 2

CHARISMA - 6

PSYCHE - 7

WILLPOWER - 7

CAUTIOUSNESS - 4

AGILITY - 8

ENDURANCE - 3

INTELLIGENCE - 8

LUCK - 5

* Specters do not have a Strength score.

[ T R I V I A. ]

Based on the most recent data about player-run businesses in the Gem Quest economy, Ophelia’s shop in the City of Magic is ranked as one of the top 10 most frequented player-run business in the game, and one of the top 20 most profitable in terms of coins. She also is currently thought to be a serious contender for the title of player character who’s created the largest number of distinctly titled and ranked items not derived from existing crafting guides or official in-game item lists.

According to Discord user arches#4731, corroborated by other members of her TTRPG gaming circles with a presence on Discord, Cat is a university student currently based in Dublin, Ireland. Her accent has been described as “difficult to place, but definitely kind of Irish.” As mentioned above, Ophelia is an active online TTRPG player who plays in multiple Dungeons and Dragons groups on roll20, including one with arches#4731.

Her in-game appearance features the typical washed-out color palette, vague transparency, and occasionally misty form of a Gem Quest specter. In regards to fashion, Ophelia is noted for her exclusively black and white color scheme, fondness for layers and stripes, omnipresent elaborate collars and/or capes, and strong tendency towards gothic, steampunk, and Victorian-inspired styles.

Her in-game persona is that of an inventor and musician murdered after delving too deeply into the disappearance of her older brother at court, returned to the land of the living to find her brother, make her mark on the world, and avenge herself on her killers. She has never been seen to deviate significantly from her set character within the game, even for the purpose of practical conversations or casual discussions with party members.

[ C R E A T I O N S. ]

In-game, Ophelia currently works as a crafter and shopkeeper specializing in magical items and minor gadgetry. She is best known for pioneering the use of symbols, glyphs, and runes in the crafting of custom magical items. Most of her crafted items are rune-powered magical instruments or small weaponry, trick/trap devices, and clothing/accessories with added utility. A small selection of especially notable and/or common items crafted by Ophelia are listed below. For further information, visit Ophelia’s section in the Player-Crafted Items Index.

Screaming Lute - A modified beginning bard instrument, customized to serve as a container and channeler of magical energy. Creates a variety of effects through the use of engraved runes on the lute’s surface, each of which is activated by a different note or chord played on the instruments, and an unidentified internal source of magical energy. So-named for its tendency to scream in abject agony and despair whenever the magical effect of a B-level spell or equivalent is fired from it.

Whispering Flute - A modified bard instrument customized to fire off a limited number of blasts of Ventium and Murmurationium upon the playing of specific notes in conjunction with a small extra motion by the wielder.

Shifting Cloak - A cloak embroidered with symbols along the hem that allow it to change color, pattern, length, hem, and apparent fabric quality based on the other current attire of its wearer. Custom versions can be made that allow the cloak to shift into specific, commissioner-requested appearances when paired with certain outfits and/or wardrobe items.

Performer’s Cloak - A cloak that trails illusory sparks, smoke, glitter, or flower petals (depending on the make) in precise proportion to the amount of movement the cloth’s fabric makes. The effect is only visible to persons other than the wearer, though it does appear in captured in-game images of the cloak. Vigorous swirling, twirling, twisting, or thrashing of the cloak creates effects dense enough to impede or obscure the vision of persons within range other than the wearer.

Wielder’s Gloves - A pair of gloves enchanted to turn fingerless at a key word or signal from the wearer or when the wearer reaches for one or more specifically linked weapons or tools. They also create a powerful adhesive effect between the palms of the gloves, the wearer’s hands, and any item linked to the gloves, an effect that can only be disabled on the wearer’s signal. This eases the handling of certain finesse weapons and makes the wearer nigh-impossible to disarm.

Mood Ring - A magically accurate mood ring. An early creation, notable for the fact that one of the first things Ophelia is known to have done in Gem Quest was sit down and take 5 in-game days to figure out how to make a really good mood ring. Improved versions can have their mood-responsive color-changing enabled or disabled with a key word or signal, display the color of the mood of another wearer with a ring linked to one’s own, or (with limited charges per day) display the mood of a chosen NPC or PC target within range.

Trick Gem - A glass vessel with a permanent illusion charm etched into its surface, usually giving it the appearance of a gem or other small loot item of A rank or higher. The illusion can be dispelled only by breaking the glass, as the enchantment is part of the glass itself; thus, it can stand up well to moderate standard attempts to check for magical effects or dispel magic, as long as no one thinks to throw the “gem” at the nearest wall. If transferred to another person other than its current owner without a chosen signal/permission from its owner, a small mechanism within the hidden vessel will trigger after one minute, exposing the true contents to air. This liquid ignites instantly, causing significant fire damage to the gem’s new holder or (if already transferred to storage) to their inventory. Ophelia claims that the needed etchings cannot be done on an Unbreakable Bottle, thus making a sturdier version aimed less at blowing up thieves and more at pulling impressive con jobs non-viable.

Nuisance Galthrops - Small, four-spiked area denial weapons individually etched with runes to keep them invisible until either a key word or signal is given by the person who deployed them OR they pierce flesh. Each does a single unit of damage, and they cannot penetrate most boots or foot armor in one hit, though repeated strikes from them are likely to damage and/or pierce most materials.

Summoner’s Box - A small wooden box with a red Summoner’s Crystal built into its frame, usually slightly behind and to the side of a small hole hidden within a panel of intricate decoration. If the lock is opened without a specific signal or key word chosen by its owner, the opening of the lock will trigger a small metal spike to crash into the gem, shattering it and summoning an angry imp or other small demon hostile to those responsible for doing it damage via opening the lock.

[ L E V E L S . ]

LVL. 11: THE CITY OF MAGIC & VALLEY OF MONSTERS. Ophelia’s workshop and storefront are located in one of the major retail districts of the City of Magic, close to the starting points of several in-level quest lines involving the city’s undead residents. She is also frequently spotted in the city’s cemeteries, various haunted houses, and the local apothecary shop noted as the level’s fetch-quest hub.

LVL. 16: THE BURIED TEMPLE OF AMAUNET. Ophelia has been spotted in what appear to be multiple independent runs through the temple, and some of the inscriptions on her items have been noted to resemble the temple complex’s rune system.

LVL. 20: A MIDWINTER’S NIGHT DREAM, & LVL. 35: THE ENCHANTED FOREST & THE FAERIE COURT. Favorite material foraging/collection locations.

LVL. 36: RAINBOW ROAD & THE SEA OF STARS. Ophelia’s last known cleared level, completed after parting ways with her second party two months ago.

Katze Comic - Bellow ANGST

So my friend KatzeBrah ( @katzebrah ) DID THIS REALLY ANGSTY, SAD BELLOW COMIC

And since I’m sick and can barely do anything, I share in this depression and wrote a fic for it.

WITH A HAPPY CLICHE ENDING. Yaaaaay.

The hallway opened out in front of her. Everything floated by as if in a haze. She had been working for days straight; not a single rest in the pursuit of perfection. Steady lighting grew brighter as she walked, guiding her feet while she took each step without thought. Her head buzzed with equations, logistics, star maps; every need detail she had to bring up at a moment’s notice. Yet ever in the back of her mind she held onto a small joke to mumble out, just to hear that laugh again.

Yellow Diamond let out a sigh. With the ever expanding reach of colonies and armies, she was seeing Blue more and more. It still wasn’t enough. The sound of her footsteps echoed through the empty halls. If there was another gem, they’d remain silent out of respect. Yet she felt nothing, only herself: the pulsing light of her form taking up space amid more solid matter. The memories of a thinking, feeling general holding the power of the stars in her hands. A distant sound caught her ear and Yellow turned, glancing over her shoulder. Behind, the hallway stretched endlessly.

“…Yellow.”

She turned back at once at the whisper. A marble door loomed in front of her wreathed in carvings of weeping gems, their faces guiding flowing water down from etched frowns and closed eyes. She didn’t even need to push the door for just the touch of her hand caused it to open. A wave of calm swept over Yellow. This was just a routine visit, a casual discussion between two Diamonds. She could smell the faint fragrance of the oils Blue used in her hair and closed her eyes, imagining the soft touch of her fellow general and the gentle smile in greeting.

The room was cloaked in shadow, the windows covered in curtains. An ever present breeze drifted through. It mixed with the sound of flowing water always present in Blue’s chambers. She enjoyed serenity in her free time, and the hushed beauty left Yellow breathless no matter how many times she tried to emulate it in her own room. It was as if it required Blue’s very presence to unlock the pleasant secret. Yellow gave a relaxed exhale, glancing about the room with her arms behind her back.

“Blue? Are you in here?”

Though calm, she couldn’t wait to see the pleasant face again. The darkness in the room seemed to close in around her, guiding her steps forward.

“Yellow.”

The voice was low, spoken in desperation. Yellow froze, her gaze falling on an outreached hand, delicate even as it trembled. On the finger glowed a familiar golden ring.

“H-Help me, Yellow.”

Blue was weak, lying on the ground. Tears streamed from her twisted face. The outline of her beautiful form was flickering with chunks missing. She could barely keep her eyes open. Using the last of her energy, she managed to crawl forward. Yellow’s entire core shivered at the sight of Blue Diamond reaching out to her. It took only a sickening moment for her terrified stare to find the gem nestled between soft hair: a radiant diamond now dull and cracked beyond recognition.

“Blue?!” Yellow fell to her knees, barely able to accept the reality in front of her. “What happened?” She gently took Blue by the shoulders, keeping her steady. Her fingers went through the struggling form of light as her voice grew to a frantic shout. “Who did this to you??”

Blue couldn’t keep her head up anymore. She fell into Yellow’s arms, outline flickering rapidly. “Yellow.”

There was a moment Yellow saw a faint, weak smile. Perhaps there was still hope. Then the next words poured out broken, forced in sheer desperation. It was the last time she’d ever hear that voice.

“I l-love. Y-you.”

The darkness of the room closed in as Blue’s light faded. In a fraction of a moment she disappeared, replaced by only the shards of her gem mixed with still falling tears. They dropped onto Yellow’s outstretched hands, joined by the golden ring. No longer did it glow, instead falling dull and lifeless into Yellow’s palm, its warmth quickly fading. The remaining tears flowed down through the cracks of her fingers as she stared wide eyed at the shards. They too were not reflecting even a shimmer of light as if the once glorious gem had been nothing but a common sand stone now broken in her grasp. Her own ring, made to capture the elegant glow of Blue’s gem, faded to match the dismal hue.

------

Her hands trembled, causing the shards to clink together. The truth of the situation poured into her mind, yet Yellow fought back. How could she hold such a wondrous gem in her hands, now shattered, now dull, never to see her again, never to hear her laugh, to see her smile. She closed her eyes, tears forming.

“Blue.” She whispered the name, afraid if she spoke it louder it would cause more damage. “No. Blue. No.” She clutched the shards against her chest, feeling them cold against her own gem. “No. No! NO!”

Electricity flowed around her as her emotions gave way to physical form. Air crackled and burned as her entire body shook with a mixture of rage and denial all flowing through sheer desolation. Her voice tore through the horrible silence.

“This can’t be true!!”

“You let her die.”

Yellow glanced up, recognizing the answer to her scream. She couldn’t bear to look but forced herself, eyes hallow as she opened her mouth to speak, only able to say one word.

“Pink?”

Pink Diamond stood before her, a normally cheerful, expressive face blank as cold eyes judged. Her color was dull with just enough rose to give a hint of her usual exuberance.

“You let her die. Just like you let me die.”

Yellow said nothing, unable to even form a coherent thought through her misery let alone speak. All she could do was stare down at the lost Diamond and the cracked shards of Blue shaking in her hand as she trembled.

“You didn’t protect us.”

Pink’s voice trailed away, yet she remained still, gazing up with piercing intent for each of her words. Yellow leaned back, suddenly consumed by fear.

“W-what?? No, no!” Doubt flooded her thoughts. She returned to ever moment she had spent with Pink, with Blue, always wanting to be there for them. Yet she had her duties, she had her reasons. The shards in her hands cut into her form as she clutched them hard. When she spoke again, her voice was a shaking mess. “P-pink, please. I-I never m-meant-“

“You failed them, Sunray.”

Yellow flinched, turning in surprise at another familiar voice. Above her, White glared down with the same judging stare, her face passive yet filled with remorse. Though her pet name was used, White’s voice was far from cheerful. It poured out grim, wreathed in disappointment. Yellow felt tears fall down her cheeks as every word her leader said bit into her core.

“You were supposed to be the strongest.” White turned away, unable to even look at her failed Diamond. “And you didn’t even protect them. You didn’t even try.”

Yellow recalled every moment she had ignored Pink’s wishes. She had to make her into a good Diamond, didn’t she? It was for her own good, the good of the Empire. And Blue; she couldn’t keep grieving at the Zoo. She had to be a leader for her subjects. Every interaction, even the sweet ones, singing in the extraction chamber, the gentle moments shared in secret, the cute jokes, the silly pranks; they all turned to dust in her mind. Everything she had done had been wrong. Yellow’s hands flickered as Blue’s shards cut into them, her grip desperate.

“They are gone now.” White’s harsh truth continued, stating what Yellow was now repeating over and over in her thoughts. “Gone because of you.”

Yellow bowed her head, still on her knees as she wept openly. No longer would Blue be there to comfort her. No longer would she ever feel that gentle touch on her shoulder reminding her to relax. She clutched the gem shards, whispering to them.

“Please. Come back. Please.”

Never would she have a chance to let Pink forgive her, to allow Blue to let her emotions out. She had failed. Yellow fell against the ground, curling up in her agony. She wanted to do nothing but lay there for the rest of her doomed eternity, holding onto the shards of the only one who could make her smile.

-----

Tears pooled under her, soaking the ground. The cold touch caused her to open her eyes. She was in a different room now. Head spinning, she painfully sobbed into her hands, gripping as tight as she could. It didn’t matter if White would shatter her or even lock her up. Nothing mattered any more. Slowly she opened her fingers, wanting to catch a glimpse of Blue’s gem even though the shards were now lifeless. She stared into an empty palm. Even the ring was gone.

“What?”

Yellow sat up, looking around on the ground. Instead of a cold, stone floor she saw a pillow and the edge of a bed with sheer curtains hanging down. Lost and terrified, Yellow backed up, bumping into someone.

“Mmm. Yellow? What’s wrong?”

Yellow turned her head slowly, trembling in disbelief at the sound of the voice. Behind her, Blue sat up with tired yet concerned eyes. A gentle hand reached out to rest on her back. Yellow inhaled, releasing the pent up emotion in her with a shaking exhale.

“B-Blue!”

She dove on top of her fellow Diamond, arms wrapping around her as she held her tightly. Tears flowed freely as she showered kisses down Blue’s face and neck, nuzzling into that soft hair.

“Yellow! Not so hard! You’re going to poof me.”

Yellow jerked back, suddenly terrified all over again.”I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to I-“

Blue placed a finger over Yellow’s lips. “It was just a joke.” She grinned. “I love seeing you so enthusiastic.” Keeping Yellow silent, Blue leaned down and gave a slow kiss against the golden general’s gem.

“Mmmph.” Yellow closed her eyes, anxiety and panic flowing from her as she slumped forward.

Blue held her, snuggling into her pointy hair. “Now, what’s this all about? We’ve only been asleep for an hour.” She kissed Yellow’s neck. “Did you really miss me that much?”

“What?” Yellow leaned back up, still in Blue’s arms. She pulled the elegant Diamond closer against her, never wanting to let go again. “Sleeping?” It gradually came back to her. An idea from Steven: organics rested by lying down and closing their eyes. It would calm their thoughts and rejuvenate them. Blue wanted to try together.

“Yes.” Blue trailed her lips over Yellow’s, giving a tease of a kiss before she smiled back. “It was nice. I closed my eyes and felt you next to me and everything seemed to fade away.” She was blushing now, unable to handle Yellow’s intense stare. “Everything expect you.”

It was Yellow’s turn to blush now. She found herself still breathing hard from the horrible images. Looking down into her hands, she saw them empty. Yet the feel of the broken gem in her fingers remained, as well as Pink’s and White’s words. She closed her eyes, pulling Blue flush against her. Every inch she wanted to feel, every bit of warmth she wanted to absorb. Her ring now glowed along with Blue’s, ever humming as the Diamonds embraced each other in solidarity.

“That’s not what happened for me.” Yellow looked away, eyes distant.

“Oh.” Blue wiped a tear from Yellow’s face, understanding.

They lay down against the bed again, still in each other’s arms. Yellow buried her face into Blue’s hair. She could feel the relaxing lull of sleep coming again and fought against it. After a long moment, Blue’s gentle voice broke her from her thoughts.

“I miss her too.”

Blue massaged Yellow’s back.

“It was worse than that.” Yellow fought back a sob, instead letting a few tears out as she nuzzled Blue’s soft locks. “I love you, Blue.”

Blue leaned back, a warm smile on her face. She took Yellow’s hand so their rings glowed together. Yellow squeezed back, still recalling the dreadful feeling that she’d never caress those fingers again.

“Steven said sometimes people have bad sleeps, nightmares he called them.” She looked Yellow in the eyes.”You don’t have to sleep again if you don’t want to.”

Yellow frowned. “But you enjoy it. I don’t want spoil this new experience.”

Blue didn’t have to say or do anything, only smile how she was now. That pure, blissful smile as she held back a giggle. Yellow forgot all about her bad dream, lost in those eyes.

“It’s alright. As long as I’m with you.”

Yellow leaned closer, kissing Blue’s lips before trailing down her neck to the perfectly intact, glimmering gem set just above her breasts.

“I’ll stay with you.” She whispered. “I’ll lay here while you sleep. Protect you from any nightmares.”

Blue rested her head on top of Yellow’s fluffy hair. “Mmm. My guardian. I like that.” She pulled Yellow up so their eyes met again. At first a little kiss before she spoke again. “And I will do the same whenever you want to try again.”

Yellow nodded, face a full blush. Her cheeks grew even redder when Blue lifted her hair loop and placed it around the stern Diamond’s neck. The soft hair was snug and warm against Yellow’s cheeks and she nuzzled into it.

“There. Now you’re all protected.”

Yellow smiled, finally relaxed. All pain of her nightmare had faded, giving way to Blue’s soft voice and radiant eyes. They lay together for the next few hours, talking about their fond memories of Pink as their rings glowed along with their gems. Yellow remained stoic, never falling asleep again as long as she could protect Blue.

INVADER PINK- The Pink Nightmare Part 1

INVADER PINK

The Pink Nightmare

In the Farthest reaches of space, beyond the limits of the human imagination was a planet whose name was unknown. But to its inhabitants it was known as Homeworld. This fractured planet was home to the mightiest conquers in the universe known as the gems. Light based creatures known for their gemstone and insane power. This race has gone across the cosmos taking planet after planet in order to further grow their numbers. And today would be the start of their biggest expansion yet. Thousands upon, thousands of ships slowly descended upon the planet in calm orderly lines entering the atmosphere and landing at the space docks.

At least until one small ship flew in. The small craft violently pushing its way through the other ships destroying the once orderly lines. The ship burning through the atmosphere and coming in hot towards a sparkling city. The ship narrowly dodging building and bridges, well one bridge got nicked as it flew by. The ship coming up to a dock pushing another ship out of the way as it landed.

Many gems looked at the ship confused as it settled. The ship opening and a set of stairs descending. The gems looked on curiously at what was in the ship, until something revealed itself, a pink ballet slipper with a little white poof on it. Upon seeing that all the gems gasped in recoiled as a towering figure exited the ship. The figure took a moment to look around before pulling out a small device and throwing it before the gems. The device landed and then formed into a metallic donut shape and began to float from the ground. The figure then leapt from the ship onto the device and pink bubble forming in the center of it which they landed on. The figure then began to run on the bubble making it move forward, all the gems getting out of the way as the figure barreled through. The figure then jumped on the bubble launching it and itself high into the air where it proceeded to bounce across building moving towards the center of the city.

In the center of the sparkling city was a Citadel where thousands of gems were flooding in of every shape color and size making their way into a massive stage area. Yellow and Blue lights shined on the area as two small figures stood in the center stage.

“Everyone, behold! The daunting, beauty and elegance that is, Yellow Diamond!” Yellow Pearl said striking a pose

“Ahem, everyone prepares yourselves emotionally for the overpowering elegance that is, Blue Diamond.” Blue Pearl said as she gave a small bow

As soon as both said their piece a pillar of light erupted from the ground. And once it died down two massive figures stood before the gems. Two of the rulers of Homeworld Yellow and Blue Diamond. The arena erupted into cheers at the mere sight of their grand leaders shaking the entire citadel.

“Thank you, Thank you. Your all to kind.” Yellow says quieting them down

“Woooo!” one lone gem cheered

“And you’re just brown-nosing.” Yellow said glaring at the gem

“Oh.” The gem said sadly

“Our dear gems, welcome to start of Era 3!” Blue Diamond says as the gems cheer again

“Under our leadership you shall be instrumental in the continued expansion of our race across the universe. Every gem has a role they must fill, and it is through your obedience that this well-oiled machine keeps running.” Yellow says proudly

“Now before we begin the assigning, we would like to take a moment to once again congratulate a special gem. Carnelian Facet-3G6, Cut-4WF, whose brave sacrifice helped us achieve victory in the battle of Leo-Dejo.” Blue said as the light shined on a gem in the crowd who was missing half its body but still waved to the crowd with a pained smile

“How are you?” Yellow asks

“It only hurts when somebody touches it-AAAAAH!!!” Carnelian screams when a ruby touches the fractured gem

“Right. Now let us begin I will take a number of you to the western quadrant to do battle with the Allama Armada who have been a thorn in our side for a while now. You all must be prepared for battle.” Yellow says sternly

“I will be handling the eastern quadrant. The planets we colonize will pose little resistance, still there will be much data to gather and records to be made.” Blue said

“So, without further delay-.” Yellow says until a Massive crash filled the hall getting everyone’s attention

“WHO DARES-?!!!” Yellow yells angrily looking to the doorway with energy crackling around her

“EXCUSE ME!!” A bratty voice says down the hall shocking Yellow and Blue

“That voice.” Blue says frozen

“Pardon me! Coming through! It’s nothing personal I’m just important!” the voice says getting closer

“It can’t be!” Yellow says in disbelief

“MOVE PLEASE!! SORRY!! THAT’S NOT AS BAD AS YOU THINK IT IS!!” The voice says getting closer and closer

Until a pink blur entered the arena and leapt over the crowd everyone looking in awe as it soared overhead landing before the Diamonds. The Diamonds looking on in shock as the figure pocketed it’s traveling device into its massive head of Pink hair.

“PINK DIAMOND?!!!” The two gems yelled shocked as they looked before the smallest and youngest of the Diamonds

“Hi Yellow, Hi Blue, and no White- as usual. My invitation must’ve been lost. If I hadn’t heard from that Jasper, I would’ve missed this. That would’ve been unlucky for you.” Pink says with a small chuckle

“You-weren’t-invited!” Yellow says with a growl trying to contain herself getting an elbow from Blue

“Pink…. Dearest, weren’t you supposed to be having your lessons in the Classroom?” Blue said kneeling down a bit to talk to her

“Oh, I quit when I heard about this.” Pink says

“You…. Quit…... your lessons.” Yellow says annoyed

“Come on it was so boring. I have the fracking schedule forever etched into my gemstone.” Pink reasons

“That was the point! So, you can finally mature and act like a Diamond!” Yellow said looking down at Pink

“Besides, this is the beginning of Era 3! All the Diamonds should be here, it’s a time for new beginnings and new ideas. Like me having a colony!” Pink says with a wide grin

“NO, no, no, NO!! That’s not happening, you’re going back to your room and then we’ll discuss you leaving your lessons once were done here.” Yellow says pointing out of the arena

“COME ON!!! IT’S BEEN SO LONG!! You can’t start the new Era without me! Yellow I was a big part of your invasion on PeeTee-345, don’t you remember?" Pink pleads

"Oh yeah, I remember." Yellow groans pinching the bridge of her nose

(57 years ago)

Sirens wailed and Gems were running and screaming as an enormous pair of Pink's mechanical legs march through crushing everything in its path. The Tiny monarch was inside laughing maniacally as she controlled the legs stomp furiously on everything in her path. A team of gems inside as well controlling the laser fire.

"MY DIAMOND PLEASE!!! THIS IS OUR COLONY!!!" A Peridot pleads

"SILENCE CLOD!!! Increase power! LASERS, I DEMAND MORE LASERS!!!” Pink yells causing the Peridot to frantically moves dials on a screen

“And you push more buttons, MORE BUTTONS!!!" Pink says laugh maniacally

Yellow sat on a throne face in her hands as Pink’s legs marched by destroying everything in its path.

“MY DIAMOND!! Pink is-.” Yellow Pearl says coming in

“yeah.” Yellow says defeated

“Aren’t you going to-?” YP asks

“YEAH?!” Yellow says glaring at her

“…...yes, my Diamond.” YP says exiting the room and Yellow sunk into her chair the sound of screams and explosions filling the air

(Present Day)

“What?! I thought we were under attack.” Pink reasons

“By what? THE DIRT!!!” Yellow growls before Blue puts a hand on her shoulder

“You caused a lot of damage Pink. I mean you crushed my Pearl.” Blue says

"Right before I put her back together again" Pink gestures to a BP, who is a shambling mash of limbs as she crawls about like an ant. Blue's current Pearl grabbing her Diamond's cloak and hiding behind it slightly

“PINK!! You-are not ready- FOR A COLONY!!!” Yellow yells

“Bu-But it’s not fair! You both got colonies when you were 12,000.” Pink pointing accusingly at the two

“Yeah, but by then I wasn’t bringing pet organics into the Citadel or distracting gems doing their jobs with a new ‘bouncer’ trick I learned. In fact, I never did that ever!” Yellow argued

“I was observing those organics to see how they would react in a gem environment. And the other gems love when I do my tricks.” Pink said

“I actually do, there was this one time she bounced off the wall and….” One gem whispered to another only to then get zapped and poofed by Yellow

“YELLOW!” Blue yelled accusingly

“This is why she can’t have a colony; she isn’t taking this seriously. The way she is now, she is incapable of being the leader they’ll need to control a colony.” Yellow says

“I am taking this seriously! So, I do things a little different? Doesn’t mean I’m ineffective.” Pink says

“Pink you have a…… special way of doing things. But it’s not the Diamond way, the right way.” Blue says

“B-but I have ideas! Things that could work for other colonies if you’d just let me show you!” Pink pleads

“Oh stars, not this Organic integration idea again.” Yellow cringed Blue doing so a little as well

“No no no, please just listen. It can work if we can control the population, we wouldn’t need to create so many gems and kill the planet so quickly. We can have a colony last twice as long.” Pink said holding up two fingers

“Pink, organics are…. Well useless. They’re chaotic, disorganized, expire incredibly fast, and are…. just really disgusting.” Blue said with a cringe

“And hard to control.” Yellow added

“Eh, what’s a little rebellion to us. It’s like you said Yellow ‘You just gotta break’em down until they listen’ like you did with those Jaspers. Right guys?” Pink said looking to a group of Jaspers who was deathly silent looking at Yellow

“WE ARE NOT DOING THIS INSANE PLAN, JUST SO YOU CAN PLAY WITH ORGANICS!!” Yellow yelled

“B-but I’m being serious, honest.” Pink said looking sadly

“Pink your serious, is not the seriousness needed for a colony.” Blue said trying to reason with Pink

“W-Why not? You both have so many worlds and I don't even have! It's not fair! You never let me do anything important except make parties for your victories! You send me away for 50+ cycle expecting 100! YOU TREAT ME LIKE I’M NOT EVEN A DIAMOND! I want one! I want my own army! I want my own planet! I deserve it! I'm just as important as you!” Pink yells stomping her foot and pointing at the two

Yellow then roughly grabs Pink’s arms glaring at her intensely shocking everyone in the room. “Then why don't you act like it, Pink?!”

A chill went down Pink spine, she wanted to shoot back with something but she had nothing. She simply bowed her head in defeat as Yellow let go of her arm.

“Yellow that wasn’t necessary.” Blue said

“Pink, got to your room-NOW!” Yellow said sternly pointing to the exit, Pink doing so her head still bowed her massive hair covering her face, but anyone close enough could hear a small sob from her

The suddenly all the lights went out in the citadel surprising everyone. Then in the center of the stage between Yellow and Blue a beam of white light shined down. And in the center of that light was a White pearl arms stretched out. Blue and Yellow yelped and jumped back upon seeing the tiny gem, Pink turning around and wiping some welled up tears in her eyes.

“Greetings everyone from White Diamond.” The Pearl said creepily cheerful

“Pearl? PEARL! PEARL IT’S ME!” Pink said happily waving to the gem

“Pearl! Pearl! Pearl! Pearl it’s me! Right here! Pearl! Pearl! I’m right here! Pearl! It’s Pink! Pearl! Pearl! Hey Pearl!” Pink yells and waves at the gem despite being only a few feet away from her and getting no reaction

“Pink you were supposed to spend 100 cycles in the classroom, yet you only spent 54.” The White Pearl said in the same creepy voice

“Yeah well….” Pink says

“Ever so eager as always. Since you are so passionate White has been persuaded to give you a chance.” White Pearl says

“WHAT?!” Yellow and Blue yell

“I’M GETTING A COLONY?!” Pink says eyes sparkling

“No, but if you do this right it could lead to one.” White Pearl says as a 3-D space map overtakes the room

“Pink, my Diamond has decided to give you a special assignment to prove whether you are ready for your colony. My Diamond has decided to give you a special assignment.” White Pearl says as Pink gasps

“SPECIAL?! JUST LIKE ME!!” Pink says with Diamonds in her eyes as a Space Map fills the room

“You are to take a small squadron to an unexplored section of space and look for new planets for us to colonize. If you find any suitable planets you will contact us so that we may send the proper aid and begin colonization. But you will be the one in charge, all the planets you find in that sector will be yours.” White Pearl says, Blue wants to interject but is stopped by Yellow

“All-Mine? S-so If I find like 50 planets, I get them? No Blue, Yellow, or White stepping in and telling me what to do?” Pink asks with a nervous laugh

“Yes, do you accept?” White Pearl asked

“…… yes-Yes-YES!!! Thank you, thank you so much! You will not regret this!!” Pink says as Blue and Yellow look concerned

“You will be given some gems to help with your exploration. Now-.” White pearl says

“HI BEST FRIEND!!!” A high pitch joyous voice shrieked echoing through the building

Pink looked up and her eyes widened at what she saw descending on her. “SPINEL?!!” Pink yells as the small pink heart gem landed on her face wrapping her limbs around her in a hug. All the gems in the hall only looked on confused as this situation proceeded to get weirder.

"SPINEL? How did you escape the classroom?" Pink asked as she pulled the gem off her face and held her up

"I followed you when you left my diamond!" Spinel said happily with a toothy smile

"But I didn't see you on the ship." Pink says confused

"I held onto the outside!" Spinel says laughing

"I was flying dangerously fast; I'm surprised you held on." Pink says as she lowered her to the ground

"I think I swallowed an asteroid on the way here!" Spinel says smiling showing a hole in her teeth were the space rock flew through Pink giving a nervous grin

“Oh, great your Spinel’s here. Well why don’t you leave her to your room, she’ll be here when you come back.” White Pearl says

“Oh no, Spinel’s coming with me.” Pink says pointing to the small gem

“PINK!! If you are going on a mission you need to focus and-.” Yellow says

“Very well you can.” White Pearl says

“Excuse me?” Yellow asked confused

“Yellow and Blue Diamond, White Diamond requests your presence immediately.” White Pearl says as she vanishes in her bubble once again

The Two Diamond give a concerned look before they to vanished in a pillar of light. Thus, leaving Pink and Spinel in front of the huge crowd of gems who were waiting for something to happen. An awkward cough filled the air.

“Soooooo…... WHO WANT’S TO SEE ME JUGGLE?” Pink says with a smile not sure what to say at the moment.

“……. I do!” One gem yell

----

Blue and Yellow appeared in the Pristine chamber of White Diamond, the Luminous gem towering over the two with her calm smile.

“White, I don’t think this is a good idea. Pink is still so…... under-developed she’s not ready-.” Blue pleads

“What’s your game? That sector you showed is a dead zone, there’s no suitable planet’s out there! I’ve seen it.” Yellow says with narrowed eyes

“What?!” Blue asks shocked

“Yes, it is, but Pink doesn’t know that.” White says

“Your gonna send her to roam some barren section of space?” Blue asks

“Of course, this is all just Starlight’s newest game. She comes asking to feel important, so we let her. She isn’t going to take this seriously, it’s just another chance for her to play. She's even bringing her favorite toy. Let her play this little game until she gets bored and comes home, then she can get back to learning to be a true Diamond. Plus, this little distraction will keep her occupied while we work.” White says

“She will leave immediately; you will give her the bare essentials she needs for her trip. Best to see her off. Oh, she will have some much fun with her little game.” White says with a smile

---

“THIS IS NOT A GAME SPINEL!!” Pink says now in her room gathering various things

Spinel sat on a chair kicking her legs as she watched Pink run around the room the pebbles hanging onto her.

“This is it! This is my chance! I am going to show them that I am a Diamond! I cannot mess this up! I and doubly determined to do this! And Your gonna help me Spinel!” Pink says pointing to Spinel as she held various crystals in her hands and hair

“YAY! ADVENTURE!!” Spinel says clapping her hands

“Yes, Spinel! To the farthest reaches of space to discover new world in order to expand the gem empire. You and me facing untold dangers and gaining unimaginable glory! You are gonna be the first Spinel to colonize another world.” Pink says grabbing Spinel getting an amazed ‘Ooooooo’ from her

“And finally, FINALLY!!! Yellow, Blue, White! They’ll see, they’ll see I got what it takes. That I can stand with them. That I am a Diamond, just like them.” Pink says looking out to HW imagining her greatness

“Are you having that fantasy where you have the other Diamond’s respect and are sitting next to them instead of below them in the throne room. And where your super big like them.” Spinel asks

“I told you that dream in confidence.” Pink says glaring at Spinel

“No, it’s super cute.” Spinel says smiling

“Either way, this starts the Legend of Pink Diamond!! LET’S GO!!” Pink says pointing towards the door only for it to open revealing Blue

“So just you and a Spinel are going to colonize a planet. Need I remind you that you are only cataloging and coming back to us, before you colonize. And I believe a few more gems will be needed on your journey.” Blue says looking down at Pink

“Oh-yeah- I guess a few more hands would help.” Pink says sheepishly

“This mission will be smaller so I will send a small team of our best gems to go with you.” Blue said as a group of gems stepped up in front of blue

“These Rubies will serve as your protection, and they are led by one of our most experience ruby commanders.” Blue said gesturing to 5 ruby soldiers

Pink examined the soldiers they were all pretty standard rubies all with a gem on their bodies. One on their left arm, another on their left leg, one with theirs on their belly, one with a gem with their left eye. And finally, the commander who had their gem on their right palm and wore a Yellow visor and a red headband.

“Ah rubies, I would’ve preferred Quartz. But you all look capable and your commander brave and strong. I expect great things from all of you.” Pink says

“Thank you, my Diamond.” The rubies say saluting

“And this shall be your sapphire.” Blue said gesturing to the small blue gem beside the rubies

“Ooooo, a sapphire. I’ve always been fascinated with your type. I will look to you to set me on the path to victory, as long as it doesn’t involve me doing something stupid.” Pink says

“I will try not to over step my boundaries, my diamond.” The Sapphire said saluting and bowing getting a nod from Pink as she walked away

The Ruby commander than walked up to the Sapphire

“Me and my rubies shall give our all in protecting out Diamond and you my clarity.” The Ruby said with a small bow

“She’s going to be disappointed in the next 2 minutes.” Sapphire said getting a confused look from Ruby

“This shall be your Peridot.” Blue says gesturing to the green gem

“Top of my sector, not to brag my Diamond. Here for all your tech-based needs.” Peridot says saluting

“Good to hear, I like tech. Especially ones involving travel like my bouncer. And not to brag myself, but am an expert with ship tech.” Pink says

“Flying a roaming eye through an asteroid field and around a sun only to crash it into a small bodega does not make you an expert.” Blue says

“YES, IT DOES!” Pink says stomping her foot

“Right, and Finally your Pearl.” Blue says

Pink’s eyes immediately sparkle at the mention of Pearl. A large smile takes over her face as she holds out her hands. Blue then holds out in her hands a Pearl and Pink’s face fell.

“Who the heck is this?” Pink says

“Your Pearl.” Blue says

“B-but this isn’t-.” Pink says

“White is still holding your previous Pearl. This Pearl is specially made to serve and assist you with your other Duties.” Blue says

“You think I can’t do this by myself?” Pink says offended getting an unsure shrug from Blue. Pink was about to yell until the Pearl landed before her

“I wish to serve you to the best of my ability, my Diamond.” The Pearl says bowing before Pink

Pink got a good look at the Pearl and sighed with a light blush on her face

“I…... know you will, welcome to my court Pearl.” Pink says with a groan

“YAY, NEW FRIENDS!!” Spinel says from the back

“Now Pink, it will be your job to guide these gems on this mission. You will be the pillar holding up the foundation of your…. Colony. And these gems will look to you as their perfect leader.” Blue says

“I know, blue I’m ready for this!” Pink says just as Blue scooped her up and hugged Pink to her face

“Ooooooh be safe my little Pink!” Blue cried

“B-Blue it’s hard to look like a strong confident leader, when your crying over me!” Pink complained embarrassed

“Oh of course, they’ll be waiting by your ship for you once your ready.” Blue says as she walks out leaving Pearl with Pink

Pink lets out a sigh as she goes back to pick up the various crystals. Pearl approached as Pink tried to organize.

“What are these my Diamond?” Pearl asks

“Oh, just some stuff I’ve been working on. Top secret colony stuff I’ve been hanging onto for years.” Pink says examining a crystal

“There are so many. You are really taking this seriously.” Pearl says

“Of course, I am! This is my chance to finally show them all, what Pink Diamond is made of!” Pink said trying to be serious despite the small pebbles running across her

Pearl hummed before having her gem glow enveloping the pile of crystals. They all then vanished into her gemstone, surprising Pink and Spinel.

“I will have to discuss the actual organization later my Diamond, but I’ll keep them safe.” Pearl says smiling

“Oooooo, do me next! DO ME NEXT!!” Spinel shrieks

“Oh wow, I haven’t had a Pearl in so long I forgot you all can do that. Well done Pearl, you’ll come far here! Now let’s get going! TO ME SPINEL!!” Pink says as she holds out her arms

Spinel them jumps on her back wrapping her arms around her shoulders and her legs around her waist becoming a backpack. Pink then takes off down the hall Spinel giggling as she was carried. Pearl had an uneasy smile but followed.

---

In one of the gems ports a massive pair of Pink legs stood as the team of gems looked up at it in surprise.

“I heard about it, but I never actually thought it real.” The Ruby commander says

“The ship will be controlled by Pink, but we’ll be running support making sure it keeps running. I hope you all are well-versed in some ship engineering; we have three roaming eyes on board for surveillance purposes.” Peridot says looking at a chart made from her limb enhancers

“They’ll manage.” The commander says looking to her team who were looking at the ship

Then Pink finally arrived confidently with Spinel on her back. She saw the ship and immediately exploded into excitement.

“YOU’RE GIVING ME BACK MY SHIP?!” Pink says eying the legs

“You’ll need it to travel…... though we did remove all the heavy artillery from it just to be safe.” Blue said whispering the last part

“Alright then let’s get this show on the-!” Pink says before getting interrupted by “PINK!”

Pink turned around to see a stern Yellow looking down at her arms crossed

“Oh yellow, nice to see you. And no White as usual.” Pink says

“Pink…… there’s something I need to say.” Yellow says actually sounding a bit unsure

“Okay.” Pink says eyebrow raised

“Pink-I…... sometimes I can…... and you…...oh-kay. When I look at you, I see…... I know that.” Yellow stammers

“Yellow, if you need to write this down you can call me later. But I gotta go now-.” Pink says until Yellow jabs a finger on her head squishing her poofy hair and holding her place

“YOU-are not going anywhere! You are gonna stay here! And you are going to LISTEN!” Yellow growls getting a nod from Pink

Yellow puts her hands together taking a breath and trying to gather up some courage. She then drops to her knees wanting to get lower to Pink and holding out her hand. Pink cautiously steps onto her palm and is lifted up.

“Pink…. you are a Diamond, don’t ever think that you aren’t no matter what happens. You are meant for greatness and it never comes when we expect it. You have you own special way of doing things. And while very inefficient and sometimes destructive, it is your way and there is merit to it.” Yellow says kindly Pink’s eyes widening

“Pink, I know you are capable of great things. I just worry that your antics will get you in deep trouble if you were to ever get out there. But now I realize that it is best to leave you be and let you ride this out. Just know that…. When you are out there…... what you are looking for, may not be what you need.” Yellow says

“Oh-okay Yellow, I-I’ll be sure to remember that-.” Pink says surprised by Yellow tone only to then get a hug from Yellow

“You are a Diamond, and you are going to be a great one. No matter what happens never lose pride in yourself.” Yellow says her voice wavering

“I-I won’t yellow, please let go.” Pink says enjoying the moment but not wanting to admit it

“Aw this is nice.” Spinel says still on Pink’s back surprising yellow making her let go

“Hmf, anyway good luck.” Yellow says blushing making Pink smirk before turning to the gems

“Now, I know you all probably have heard stuff about me. I want you all to forget that, cause what you are getting now is 100% pure-uncut-PINK DIAMOND! You are all about to apart of something great as we venture into the great unknown to further our mighty empire. You will all be remembered as not only the pioneers of the new frontier, but at the first of the Court of Pink Diamond. The story we forge out there will not only be mine, but the story of our COURT! NOW LET’S GO!!” Pink says proudly as Spinel claps for her and the other salute

Yellow and Blue watch Pink and the others enter the ship. The Massive legs shudder and began to move. After knocking down a few ships the Legs take off towards the sky, the two Diamonds looking on with a smile but also worry.

“Don’t worry, this will be good for Pink. White said so and she’s always right.” Blue says trying to encourage her making Yellow’s sad frown deepen.

In space the pair of Pink legs took off through the void. In the main control center of the room Pink stood with her gems surrounding her doing various things.

“Ah this thing still runs like a dream.” Pink says

“Coordinates are set, we are on route for the unknown sector.” Peridot says

“Excellent! Soon we will bring glory to the gem race and DOOM to our enemies!” Pink says with a grin

“Yes, my Diamond!” The rubies said, the commander realizing Sapphire just left the room

“I’M GONNA SING THE DOOM SONG!!” Spinel says jumping in front of Pink

“Oh, that isn’t-.” Pink says trying to stop her before

“ Doom, doom, doom, doo doom, doom, Doom, doom, doom, doo doom, doom, Doom, doom, doom, doo doom, doom, Doom, doom, doom, doo doom, doom, Doom, doom, doom, doo doom, doom, Doom, doom, doom, doo doom, doom-!” Spinel sang as she did a little dance everyone watching just put off by the display

“Sooooo…... how long is she gonna do this?” Peridot asks

6 MONTHS LATER

Where Mischief Lies Pt. 3

The air was sweet and the sound of the ocean below was oddly comforting, considering her current situation. The sun was beginning to set and the sky was burning with every shade of pink and orange. Kit had a small twinge of a wish for her sketch book and oil pencils.

Her annoying, while be it kind, host gave a heavy sigh from behind her. “I’m sorry. Am I bothering you?” Kit growled over her shoulder. Loki was leaning against the frame of the double French doors looking bored. He’d unbuttoned the top few buttons of his shirt and had left the jacket open. She unfortunately was still in her dress but had kicked off the heels and removed the earrings. From the outside it looked like the set up in one of the silly novels Mariah read. Even the twist of her being a prisoner fit.

“No,” he replied. “I’m just waiting for more questions.”

Kit had asked all she really wanted to know. The necklace had been a gift to a mortal he had once known for protection. It had been stolen by another powerful being and the mortal killed. From the text of the charm etched in the gem, Kit could guess that the Loki had loved the mortal. That was a question she didn’t feel the need to ask. There honestly wasn’t much left to discuss. Well there was one last question, but she needed time to work through her embarrassment to ask it.

“I’m still thinking.”

He chuckled. “I’m starting to get nervous at the thought you are putting into your questions.”

She ignored him and went back to looking at the scenery. Mariah was probably in a full blown panic by now. She prayed her sister wouldn’t get desperate and call for help from home. It was a possibility. If it meant saving her, Mariah would give up her freedom. Kit worried her bottom lip. She needed to get back.

“So how long are we going to play this game?” She asked.

Loki slowly walked forward. “As soon as you get all your answers.”

“Well, I don’t have anymore questions and the ones I do you won’t give me a straight answer on. So take me back.”

Loki shook his head. “You haven’t asked all your questions.”

Kit raised an eyebrow. “Yeah I have.” She turned and he was right behind her. She took an instinctual step back but bumped into the rail. The sound of her heartbeat filled her ears. Her brain fuzzed out like a bad satellite connection and she blurted out, “Why did you kiss me?”

Loki smirked and leaned closer. “Do you want me to do it again?”

A flash of anger and Kit swung with all her strength. Her fist never made contact. He was gone and she was falling face first. Before she hit the trough however, strong arms grabbed her waist and pulled her upright.

“Falling for me already?”

Furious and embarrassed, Kit shoved away from the smirking trickster and stormed back inside. Loki was sitting on the edge of the table when she entered the dinning hall. He held up his hands before she could start yelling at him. “I’m sorry. Don’t be angry.” He was still smiling but Kit knew it was the best apology she would get.

“Let me make it up to you.”

“How?”

His fingers snapped and a silver dagger was in his hand. Her silver dagger. “You stole my dagger?” The night of the auction, Kit hadn’t noticed its absence till they all had returned to the house and had just accepted that it was gone for good. But no, the dammed trickster had taken it.

He shrugged. “You stole my necklace. Seemed fair.” He held the blade handle out towards her. “You can have it back. A sign of good faith.”

Kit hesitated, then walked over and took the dagger. “Thank you.” She stroked the familiar leather braided handle and the line of the blood groove. Mariah had given it to her the Yule before they had left home. It had truly broken her heart to think of it been lost to her. She hadn’t even had the nerve to tell Mariah she’d lost it.

Loki’s voice was soft when he said, “I can tell it means a lot to you. I’m sorry if it’s absence has caused you grief.”

Kit met his eyes. No more laughter or mocking. Genuine sincerity. She quickly looked away and grumbled, “I still don’t forgive you.”

He chuckled. “Understood. Why don’t I try something else then?”

She looked at him with suspicion. “Like?”

“First. You need a wardrobe change.” With another snap, the silk gown was gone and the comforting feel of denim and cotton replaced it. The clothes weren’t hers, but they were more her style than the dress. She fingered the silver buttons of the maroon leather jacket.

“I approve.”

“Thought you might. Now, let’s go.” He wrapped his arms once more around her waist and pulled her up against him.

There was no time to complain. The air was spinning around them and Kit buried her head in the crook of his neck. Her stomach rolled and she felt like she was being dropped from the tallest peak of a roller coaster. Even when she felt solid ground under her feet, she didn’t let go.

“We are here,” he whispered in her ear.

Kit shoved away and tried to breath through the dizziness. Lights flashed in front of her eye and that’s why it took her a few seconds to notice where he had taken her. “The Louvre?”

He shrugged. “Seemed like a good idea. Don’t you like art?”

“Yes, but I’m confused as to how you know that.”

“Lucky guess.” He turned away but not before she saw a shadow pass over his eyes. She wanted to ask but he was already walking off into a gallery. She looked around at the grand entrance she had only seen in books and on websites. Since the lights were off is was had to make out every detail. Lights off? Kit turned and looked out the glass window of the front door. The sky was pitch black.

Kit chased after Loki. “This place is closed! Do you want to get arrested?”

“Why would we get arrested?”

“We are in one of the most famous museums in the world after hours!” Kit growled. “This place must be crawling with guards.”

Loki gave her a withering look. “Between the two of us, I’m pretty sure we won’t be caught.”

Kit wanted to argue but Loki kept walking. He looked at her over his shoulder. “You can stay here if you want. I’m going to enjoy the beauty of the art world.”

She hesitated moment, the jogged to catch up with him. Even in the poor lightning, everything was breath taking to behold. Pieces Kit had never believed she would see were right in front of her. For that short time she wasn’t a hunter or a witch without a coven. She didn’t even flinch when Loki grabbed her hand.

“And of course,” he was now saying. “The beautiful Mona Lisa.”

Kit rolled her eyes. “Next.” She tried to walk away but he pulled her back. “What’s wrong with the Mona Lisa? I thought girls loved this painting.”

“A. I’m not most girls. B. I don’t want to get into the hype of a glorified selfie.”

Loki grinned. “You really don’t like that painting.”

“No!” Kit went into a rant over how there were much better and skilled pieces of art in the world. That then started another about Leonardo Di Vinci and how he was a horrible human being to begin with. She caught the warm smile on his face and raised an eyebrow. “What?”

He moved slowly, his hand cupping her face. The other gripping her waist and pulling her close. But she still didn’t understand, or maybe didn’t want to understand, what he was doing till his mouth was on hers.

She kissed him back. Her hands wrapped around her neck, keeping him in place while her lips parted and her tongue swept in to taste him. She felt the earth shift around her and her head spill. He pulled back. Gave one last peck. Then was gone.

The sound of a door opening had Kit’s eyes shooting open.

“Kit! What the hell? Where did you come from?” Sam Winchester was standing in the doorway of her and Mariah’s motel room. She was back.

Her dazed mind quickly cleared and pure rage took over. “That son of a bitch! Every fucking time! The next time I see his stupid face I’m going to bash it in!”

Sam held up his hands. He recognized the look she had in her eyes" he had seen it the night of the auction and hadn’t understood the amount of hate behind it. “Kit, are you hurt?”

She ignored him. “If the tricky bastard thinks he can just... UGH!” Sam had just enough time to duck before the thick book one of the girls must have left out came flying at his head. He continued to tried and talk her down but quickly gave up and retreated outside to call his brother and her friend for back up.
