Trying to Smile Again Continued (Steven UniverseUniverse Fic)

Part Six Chapter Seven: Pink Amazonite

Pink Amazonite. A fusion of Steven Universe and Spinel. Two opposites, coming together to form just something in between. As the name implies, this fusion's gems were pink, and her body was pink. Her big, poofy, hair was held up by two hair ties; one on each side of the top of her head. Some hair did hang down in the front, slightly covering one of her eyes. She had four eyes to be exact. Two on the right (one above the other) and two on the left (one was also above the other). She had four arms, two sets on each side, and they were connected to one arm (like Smokey Quartz's and like Sugillite's). She wore a pink jacket, with a black shirt underneath. There was a yellow star design, with Spinel's gem in the middle. Steven's gem was near the, exposed, bellybutton. She had two legs, and wore short ripped jeans, and her shoes resembled Spinel's more. Finally, her weapon was like a pinwheel... only deadlier. It had a long, bending-cartoon-like pole for a handle, with a mold of Spinel's gem on the end. At the top was Steven's shield, two actually; combined to make a sphere, with a small gap in between. Out of that gap, poked out many sharp scythe-like blades, and when Pink Amazonite pressed the button on the weapon, the wheel of death spun!

Pink Amazonite sat on the ground, inspecting herself, and studying her features. After hearing corrupted Pink Pearl's screech, she snapped out of it.

"I just want to talk," Amazonite said in a sweet, angelic tone. "Please... Pinky... don't make me hurt you."

"Pinky?"

"It's a nickname I gave her... I know it's stupid, I just-"

"No, no! It's a wonderful nickname, I bet she likes it too."

"Heh, thanks Steven... but let's focus on savin' her."

"Right!"

Pink Pearl stepped closer, and closer, eventually turning into a run. Her beak open in frustration. Amazonite quickly leaped our of the way, rolling on the sand as she fell. She got up, dusting herself off, and stared at the gem.

"Uhh, Pink Pearl! I know you're still in there! If you listen to us-or, I mean listen to me, then I can help you," Amazonite shouted from afar.

Pink Pearl shook her head, fighting to listen to her friends, but she couldn't. She squawked back at the fusion, flying into the sky.

"So that's how we're playing then... well, guess I'm going up!"

Pink Amazonite's legs coiled into a spring, and shot up into the air, following the corrupted gem. Luckily, with Steven's floating powers, she could stay in the air really long; even longer, now that she is a fusion! The fusion stretched out her arm to latch on to the birds back. Once attached, Pink Pearl swayed violently in the air, trying to shake the gem off. The fusion bobbed in the wind, due to her elasticity.

"Wooooaah! Calm down a bit, will ya?!"

The corrupted gem listened, but not in the way she hoped. The bird-like creature stopped, as if frozen in it's tracks. With her arm stretched out, this caused Pink Amazonite to slingshot into the gem, smack her face hard on it's back.

"Ow!"

The gem started to fall, and began to unfuse.

"No, Spinel, we have to stay together!"

"I can't! I'm not good enough! Why me, why not another Crystal Gem-actually! Why am I a Crystal Gem?! I'm useless!"

"You're wrong! I've seen your potential! I've seen how much you've grown! And I've seen how strong you are! Sometimes, and I mean this, I look up to you!"

"R-Really," Spinel whispered amazed.

"Yes! You are so amazing in so many ways! The fact that you can do so many nice things, after being left alone like that... it's so inspiring! And I no you hate me bringing that up, but it was the best example, and the strongest! I mean, you almost succeeded in your plan to destroy Earth, on gems who have been dealing with stuff like that for millennials!"

"I... I guess you're right... and... do you mean it... you look up to me?!"

"Yes... and I hope we can be best friends again."

"Heh... well, you finally got me Steven. We're friends again!"

The fusion fused back together, and had a huge blush on her face. Neither one knew, that they were both blushing. They were so glad to be friends again!

Pink Amazonite fixed her posture, and landed safely on the soft sand. She noticed a twinkle in the sky, followed by Pink Pearl nosediving her! This time, she wasn't running. She pulled out a shield from Steven's gem, and the rejuvenator owned by Spinel from her gem; and fused them together to make her pinwheel of death! She caught it, and rocketed off the ground, stretching her arms in a tornado motion around herself. Then when she and the corrupted Pearl met, there was a quick, WOOSH, as they passed. The fusion landed confidently on the ground, and Pink Pearl landed safely too... or so she thought. On wobbly legs, she fell to the ground, and poofed! Pink Amazonite's attack was a perfect hit!

She walked over to the gem that was half buried in the sand, and cheered with joy, jumping up and down like a kid. Suddenly, she unfused, and Steven and Spinel giggled happily.

"I can't believe that actually worked," Spinel laughed, pumping her fists in the air.

"I told you it would work," Steven said, walking over and bubbling Pink Pearl's gem. "Now we just have to heal her! Then we'll be-"

"Wait," Spinel cut in, sounding serious. "What... how did this happen?"

Steven dropped his happy demeanor, and walked pass Spinel, motioning for her to follow.

"I'll tell you on the way to the fountain... but my idea is just a guess."

Spinel nodded nervously, eyes twinkling with concern. What could have hurt her friend?

"So after..." Steven looked at Spinel, who was looking straight back with unknowing eyes. "You went into the beach house, Pink Pearl and I talked. We were worried that we upset you. We were just about to come check on you, when Pink Pearl noticed a twinkle in the stars," Steven said, as they stepped onto the warp pad. "After that, the twinkle started to become a blinding white flash! Then, Pink Pearl corrupted! I think I know what caused it too..." Steven looked down at his feet, stepping off the warp pad into the fountain garden.

"What's that," Spinel asked cluelessly.

Steven turned his head to Spinel, stopping in his tracks. Spinel gasped, she couldn't believe what she heard. Was it true?! No way they would do that again... right? Spinel knee they were bad... but there's no way it was...

"The Diamonds!"
