...

Those are some giant gems!

"Whoa, you guys are really big!" Mabel exclaims.

"I didn't think gems could be that big." Wendy states, calmly.

"Same here." I hear.

Danny and the gang come out of the assault vehicle. They must have gotten here at the same time as we did. As look at the gems, I see a fourth, normal-sized, gem with them. Now I'm wondering what kind of gems the four of them are...

"Steven, are you ok? You look..uh.." Dani asks, sounding unsure.

Steven looks confused at first, then he realizes what Dani was asking. Steven partially transformed again.

"I'm ok. I'll explain later." He states.

Wait, speaking of...!

"Steven, we found another corrupted gem!" I exclaim.

"You did?! Oh, gosh, are you guys ok?" Steven says, clearly worried about us.

"We're fine, dude. We managed to poof it." Wendy explains.

Steven's eyes widened.

"Please don't tell me you put the gem in your pocket..." He says, now nervous.

"No, I put the gem in the jar." I state as I take out the jar.

Steven lets out a sigh of relief.

"What kind of gem is she?" Jazz asks.

I hand Steven the jar and all five of them look at the gem inside.

"She's an Aquamarine." The five of them state in unison.

An Aquamarine gem? I wonder what they do.

"I'll just quickly bubble her and send her off." Steven says.

He does exactly that, and really quickly too.

"Why were you concerned a moment ago?" I ask.

"We ran into two more corrupted gems earlier and saw some kids almost put them in their pockets." Steven explains.

"It sounds like you dudes had an interesting day." Soos points out.

"Yeah. Really interesting." Mabel says.

"So, Steven, are these your new friends?" The pink gem asks.

"Yeah, they are." Steven confirms.

He introduces all of us to these gems without missing a beat.

"Guys, this is Spinel, Blue, Yellow, and White."

"It's nice to meet all of you!" Spinel exclaims as she stretches her hands to us.

"Wait...do we know you?" Tucker asks.

"No?"

"You maaay have seen Spinel and White earlier while ghost hunting." Steven says.

"That was you guys?!" Dani exclaims.

Something sounds familiar...

"Blue, Yellow, and White?" I ask.

"Yeah, these three are...the Diamonds." Steven says.

...oh...I need to stay calm...

"The Diamonds?!" Mabel yells.
