Chpt 2

There is a tall man walking into an Adoption Agency. He has black hair, glasses, a green button up shirt, and blue jeans. He has filled out papers for a child with a very “special case” when it comes to adoption. He is currently comping in to adopt a young girl named Y/n and another very unusual kid that must be adopted with Y/n. That’s what it says on the papers at least.

The young girl was sitting on the couch in the loft room waiting for her new guardians arrival. She didn’t think much of, knowing that she’d be stuck with the same mayor of “parent” that she always felt with. Ruby was sitting next to her, worrying about how the father may act like and how she could make a good first impression, or if this guy was even a good person to begin with.

You see, Y/n and Ruby both had some..family issues throughout growing up. Ruby knows that her treatment wasn’t as bad as Y/n’s since gens don’t need sleep, eat , or any other human things. Y/n on the other hand, hasn’t been cared for like a normal human child should be cared for, and Ruby was aware of that.

“So” Ruby started looking at Y/n. “What do you think this new guy looks like?” Ruby was trying to start a conversation with her to brighten the mood.

”I don’t know” Y/n said still looking down. “ We don’t know anything about this person. What if he’s bad? Doesn’t matter what he looks like” Y/n said with a meanish tone.

Ruby stared at her awkwardly, seeing how she failed to cheer up her best friend. She decided to nudge it off for now and stay quiet for Y/n’s sake. Then, Y/n finally looks over to Ruby. “ Sorry if that came off as harsh, I’m just worried that this new guy will be terrible like the others. I know that the facility said that he would be a better person, but I don’t believe them”. Y/n says looking a bit sat and worried.

”Don’t worry, I’m sure that he’s good. And if he’s not then we can try again!” Ruby said in an attempt to cheer her friend up again, but this time worked a bit.

”Thanks Ruby, your always there for me huh?” Y/n said rubbing the top of Ruby’s head or hair I should say.

”Hey! Stop that!” Ruby said laughing trying to push your hand off.

”Y/n, Ruby”. One of the facility workers came in. “ He’s here. Please come with me”. The two girls were interrupted but both Y/n and Ruby obliged. Both girls walked into the room that held their new parent.

Once they were in the room, they saw a tall man that didn’t look scary as Y/n or Ruby thought he’d be. “ Hello, you must be Y/n and Ruby” he stated with a gentle yet study voice. “ I’m Henry Greyson, it’s a pleasure to meet you both.” He stuck up his hand and Ruby went to shake it, while Y/n was cautiously looking at him.

”Y/n!” Ruby whispered yelled to the girl. “ Your supposed to shake hands?” Y/n looked over at Ruby, but ignored her anyway.

” I see” Henry put his hand down.” Well, let’s just hope you get use to me soon huh?” He said in a joking matter.

” Yes” Y/n said in a voice that didn’t really care.

”Mr. Greyson. Please finish signing the rest of these papers so you can leave”. One of the facility workers said handing over the last of the papers.

“Of course” Henry stated walking over to the counter to finish writing down important information.

Y/n and Ruby stood there is silence, until Ruby decided to break it. “ He’s not that bad, right?”

” Who knows, this could all be just an act. He may not care about us and just want the money for him and his family”. Y/n said in a mean but worried tone.

” Come on girls” Henry said after finishing the last of the papers.” Let’s head to the car and show you guys where you’ll be living at for now on”.

Y/n and Ruby both agreed and walked outside with their new parent, saying goodbye to a few children and facility workers on the way. Once they came to a stop, they saw a Toyota Tacoma black truck parked in a parking space. Both of the girls have never seen really nice cars or clean ones to say.

“I see you guys are pretty amazed with my car I see huh?” Henry chuckled while unlocking the car and opening the door for the girls.

” Shiny “ Ruby’s eyes turned to stars and she hopped in the car excited already buckling her seat. Henry looked over at the other girl who was cautiously looked at the car deciding wether she should get in the car or not.

”Are you coming?” Henry asked curiously. “ I won’t bite, and neither will the car “ He stated in a joking matter.

”…Yeah” Y/n said as she sat next to Ruby. Ruby must have noticed the look of worry on Y/n’s face and held her hand.

” It’s gonna be okay” Ruby said giving Y/n a light squeeze with her hot hands. Y/n got use to the feeling of Ruby’s skin when she was younger so it wasn’t something for her to fret about.

”Okay girls! You both buckled?” Henry asked.

“Yes!” Both girls said though Y/n’s voice was a bit quieter.

”Alright then! Let’s head on over to your new home”. Henry said with excitement in his voice. Y/n was still cautious about this whole situation, but, it feels better than her past families. She may not be able to trust this man, but maybe she will later.

The present day

Over the past 3 months, Y/n and Ruby had learned a lot about Henry. First of all, he was single. He had no family and that was one of the reason why Y/n and Ruby were adopted. Also, he worked as a heart surgeon and was on the rich side of society. Y/n and Ruby were treated like actual children. They both got paid attention too, got plenty of food, and even got their own rooms! Of course,. Y/n and Ruby will sometimes sleep together since they are still getting use to be separated from each other.

Ruby started to trust Henry way faster than Y/n. She even called him dad sometimes. Y/n on the other hand, still didn’t fully trust him. After so many years of neglect, she hasn’t fully healed or is use to this new life. She is trying her best to get along with her new caretaker, but it’s something that cannot be changed that quickly.

Currently, Ruby and Y/n are in the backyard. Both are looking around for critters to watch and find. They both enjoyed doing that ever since they were little, well ever since Y/n was little. They were over by rocks and trees.

”Hey look!” Ruby said in excitement after finding a snake.

”That’s a Ring-neck snake” Y/n said to Ruby. Ruby has been on earth for many years now, but still can get confused with different creatures since most look the same to her.

”Are they venomous?” Ruby asked, snake already in her hands.

“Not to humans “ Y/n stated lifting another rock that hid two big roads under it. “ Aww~. Look at these guys”. Y/n picked up the toads and showed them to Ruby.

” Wow those are big fellas huh?!” Ruby said excited before putting the snake back where she found it and taking one of the toads from Y/n’s hands.

“Awww it’s so cute! And bumpy” Ruby laughed as Y/n chuckled beside her.

”GIRLS!” Henry called from the house. “LUNCH IS READY!” Ruby and Y/n out the toads back in their spots and rushed to the house.

“What’s for lunch?” Ruby said while walking into the kitchen. Now, gems don’t have to eat, Ruby has already explained that to Y/n and Henry, but she still likes to taste food and likes to try to “fit in” with society.

”Pasta!” Henry said while serving the two girls food.

”This looks delicious!” Ruby said eating pasta with Y/n for the 3rd time. Both of the girls were never served such great food and have only ate pasta three times in their life! All from Henry’s place.

”It is” Y/n chuckled taking a bite.

”Well I’m glad you like it “ Henry stated sitting down across from the two girls. All three of them sat together in a comfortable silence. Until Henry started to speak up.” I have some news for you girls and I don’t know if you’ll like it or not.” Henry said with a halfway smile.

”What’s the news?” Y/n asked with a sort of worried expression upon her face.

”Well, you know how my job at the hospital has been…not that great lately?” Henry asked

”Yeah! You complain to me and Y/n ALL the time!” Ruby talked a little bit louder than before.

Henry chuckled and began to speak again” I’ve decided that I will be attending to a different hospital”.

Y/n and Ruby were quiet. They were both confused on why he had told them that information. So Y/n spoke up.

”Why are you telling us that?” She stated in a rudish tone.

” In order to for me to work in that area, we’ll have to move” Henry said taking another bite.

”WHAT!” Y/n and Ruby said in union.

“ I know you guys think this is a bad idea, but maybe moving out of the city would be good for you two.” Henry said.

What was he talking about? Y/n and Ruby both LOVED their new life even if one of them barely showed it. Plus, both of them aren’t city kids. Has Henry even been paying attention to them? Or is that just something he needs to say to try to convince both of the girls to be okay with leaving.

They would miss so much. Adapting to different life styles was already hard enough, now changing again?! They would miss their rooms, the streets, their school, the backyard and every creature that they’ve ever found back there.

Henry noticed the looks on their faces and looked away guilty. Ruby seemed to notice and decided to give it a try.

” So…where is this ‘area’ at?” Ruby asked warning a side glance from Y/n.

“ Oh!” Henry said looking at both girls again. “ I haven’t told you where we’re moving to yet huh? It’s called ‘ Beach City’”.

“Beach City?!” Y/n hit the table out of surprise. “ We’re moving to Delaware!? We live in California ( sorry if you don’t, you can change it), that’s across the US!?.

“Yes I know it’s far and it may take a while, but it’s great there! I grew up in Delaware and it was great!” Henry said trying to excite the girl. Sadly this didn’t change anything.

”Yeah? But did you grow up in that area? Beach City?” Y/n said with an irritated tone.

”Well..not..in..that..area” Henry said slowly.

”Then you can’t tell us it’s great if you’ve never even been there before.” Y/n got off her seat and walked to her room upstairs.

”Jeez” Henry sighed, rubbing his temple lifting up his glasses a bit. Henry knows about what has happened in Y/n’s past and knew that she would act differently towards him. He knows that he should be use to it by now but he’s still not.

”I’ll go check on her!”Ruby said jumping off her seat and running up the stairs into Y/n’s room. “Y/n? Why did you do that? I know that you don’t like this but at least give him a chance?”

” I know Ruby, but it’s just- I don’t want this to change. I don’t want anything to change. The house, the neighborhood, the school, even the mean grumpy old man that lives next door to us”. Y/n said laying on her comfortable bed.

Ruby chuckles at the last statement” I know, I’m scared too. But Mr. Greyson has been so good to us. Don’t you want to let him know how much you appreciate his effort?” Ruby said. “ And besides, I REALLY want to go to a beach” Ruby said with puppy dog eyes” If your not doing it for him, then can you at least do it for me?”

Y/n looked over at Ruby, noticing the puppy dog eyes that she learned from a dog that once came up to her and begged her for her donut. Y/n let out a loud king sigh and sat up facing Ruby.

”For you” Y/n started. “ I will do this for you.” As soon as Y/n said those words, Ruby got excited.

”EEEEEE” Ruby screeched jumping up and down on Y/n’s bed. “I’ve never been to a beach before! What do you think it’ll be like!”

” I’ve never been to one either. But I’m sure we can look up pictures later” Y/n said picking up their phone.

“ We should tell Henry!” Ruby said jumping off Y/n’s bed.

”..Yeah” Y/n said, recalling the events that happened earlier.” I do need to apologize anyway. And maybe he’s right? Who knows, there could be more creatures that we haven’t met in Delaware yet?” Y/n said trying to look on the bright side of this new change.

”Yeah that’s the spirit! We might even meet a new grumpy old man!” Ruby yelled excited.” Let’s go Y/n!”

”Im coming!” Y/n giggled at her friend’s antics.

Both Y/n and Ruby raced down the stairs into the kitchen, hoping to find Henry in the room. But he wasn’t there. They both walked over to his room and knocked.

”Yes?” Henry said opening the door while on a phone call.

” We’ve both agreed that we will move to Delaware with you!” Ruby exclaimed.

” Huh? Really ok good. I’m actually on the phone with the airline. I was gonna cancel but never mind!” Henry puts the phone back up to his ear.” Hello?. Yes. I would like to keep the tickets please. Ok thank you.” Henry hung up and walked back over to the girls. Y/n began to speak up.

” Hey Henry?” Y/n said looking at Henry. As soon as she got his attention she continued” I apologize for how I acted earlier”.

”it’s alright kiddo, we all make mistakes and you were just scared. I get it change it hard. But I promise you both that you will have a great time in Delaware.”

”When do we board the plane?” Ruby interrupted with interest and excitement since she and Y/n have never rid in a plane before.

“Two weeks”. Henry said looking at his calendar. “ I would start packing now before the trucks come. Their gonna pick up our stuff earlier and get a ship to transfer the cars.

”Okay well do that” Y/n half smiled walking with Ruby up to her room.

She didn’t know why, but somehow she feels like she’s gonna enjoy her new life at Beach City.

Yas I have finished chapter uno! There may be some spelling Mistakes or whatever but it Otay 👍. I hope you enjoyed this. I know that the reader hasn’t met the Crystal gems yet, but I wanted to show off Y/n’s life a bit and how the neglect over the years affected her. Don’t worry you guys will meet probably on the next chapter! Which I am working on now because I have insomnia and I can never sleep 😂😭. But this was pretty long and I’m going to either make them this long or longer because I know that people don’t like short stories, or at least most. Anyways goodbye and stay tuned!
