Zuko awoke at dawn the next day. He could see through the crack in the tent that the sun was just barely peeking out over the horizon. There were no other sounds around him. So, was he the first one awake? Zuko shifted a bit, not wanting to wake anyone. It was strange; now that … Continue reading
At first, Peridot wasn’t completely sure the fusion had succeeded. The two Gems seemed to take a much longer-than-average time to form, as if they couldn’t decide if being together was an advisable idea or not. However, when they did eventually settle and the resulting fusion stopped glowing, she seemed stable enough. Her outfit was … Continue reading
“Sien, stay close now,” Ren warned a few hours later. The foliage was getting thicker by the moment and Katara could see they were approaching another rise in the rock. Sien slowed by a pace, but still insisted on taking shortcuts through shrubs and over rocks to get herself ahead, rather then trudge along with … Continue reading
Peridot took pride in keeping herself informed. Never go forward without knowing everything there was to know about a situation and then some — that was her philosophy. First thing the next morning, the Steven announced that despite his ability to prompt Pearl Half #1 into regenerating, he had been unsuccessful in getting Pearl Half … Continue reading
Packing up was easier the next morning. Partially because Zuko and Katara knew what to expect and also because Zuko’s bloodbending was much improved now that the moon was coming out again.

“Whoa, you look really weird!” Amethyst announced when Sea Glass descended the stairs and walked into the kitchen. Garnet’s version of dinner appeared to be a not-too-healthy, but incredibly delicious spread of hot dogs, rolls, and a wide variety of hot dog condiments. Amethyst jumped off her chair and walked up to the odd trio, … Continue reading
Ren spent the rest of the day packing up the tent for their trip. Katara offered to help a few times, but Ren insisted she “had a system” and didn’t want them meddling in it. It left Katara more than a little frustrated to have a major crisis on their hands and not much she … Continue reading
Steven knew what he would use to store the two pearls even before he got up to his room. A few years ago on his birthday, Garnet had gifted him with the G.U.Y.S & G.A.L.S Super Deluxe, super-soft, carrying case/pillow. It had seemed to him to be a weird addition to the G.U.Y.S. lineup at … Continue reading
Katara woke up early the next morning to a child’s face staring a few inches from hers. “Wah!” She startled backwards. “What are you doing?” “Momma tolds me to watch you while she was gone.” “Oh.” Katara cleared her throat. So much for her plans to leave early. After the hospitality their hostess had showed, … Continue reading
Peridot narrowed her eyes at the objects in front of her. The identity of said objects was not that much of a mystery… they were obviously two pearls. Nearly identical in size and shape, the only subtle difference seemed to be that one had a orange tint to it, while the other, more of a … Continue reading
