Lesson
The Caste Room Gems

“Welcome to a very special section of the class Steven!” A chibi version of Pearl spoke, for the next few lessons we will be taking a look at how homeworld has classified certain gems!” She turned over the chalk board revealing a red heart indebted gemstone.

The gem glowed and a chibi Spinel formed in her past form. “Hello class today I will be teaching you, but before I start I’ll need a teaching assistant.

“Oh oh! Pick me!” Steven called out.

“How about you in the Yellow!” a chibi Cat’s eye came up and stood next to her.

“Aww man! Since when are you even in this Class!?” Steven yelled.

“I transferred today.” Cat’s eye retorted.

“Now let’s get to the lesson! Spinel’s are like rubies but rarer and stronger.” Spinel flexed. “Now unlike rubies who are given out as common gem soldiers, us Spinels are designed to be bodyguards of a specific gem and to protect them at all cost.” As she spoke Cat’s eye flipped the chalkboard which had illustrations of what Spinel was explaining. “Spinel’s are trained in special kindergartens called Academies where we are rated on our skills and competence to determine what gem we will be assigned to. Since it was war and I was the highest ranked Spinel I got to be assigned to Blue Diamond during the rebellion, but it was mostly uncommon for Spinels to end up in Diamond’s court. More likely we will guard a high class gem like a Calcite, Morganite, or Lapis Lazuli.

“Don’t forget those nobel Cat’s eye’s...I know that’s who you wanted to serve… Cat’s eye crossed her arms and faced away from Spinel. “Cat’s eye’s are supposed to be high ranking yellow gems, unless they come out wrong like me. I wasn’t even worth a body guard yet alone a body, they were gonna shatter me on the spot.”

“WHAT!? Kitty you know that’s not true!” She Spun Cat’s eye around and picked her up. “There’s only one gem I want to serve and only one body I want to guard!” Spinel kissed Cat’s eye on the neck.

“Oh Spiney… Hahaha….This is highly unprofessional...and Steven’s hahaha ight…” The two started laughing before glowing and forming a Chibi Tiger eye.

“Class dismissed!” Tiger eye shouted with a huge grin across both her mouths. The star closed around her.
