Halloween
Merry Christmas everyone! I wish you all the best!
"Uh, Spinel... Why are you wearing that?" Azurite asked Spinel, as Jasper who stood by his side nodded her head.
This day started off as many other days for him since he decided to give living on this planet a chance, but when he saw Spinel in a costume, he knew that something was going on today. He knew that he had the answer somewhere in his head, but looking for it would probably take him more time than asking her.
"Don't you remember? Halloween is today!" Spinel answered, as she was dressed as the Grim Reaper. With her scythe she looked truly scary.
"...Oh... right I forgot." Azurite said, rubbing the back of his head, as he reminded himself that Steven mentioned this holiday, when they were spending their time on this drawing exercise.
"Yeah, me too." Jasper said. It was this day. Nothing was going to make her wear a costume. Nothing.
"So, what about you? What are you going to wear?" Spinel asked Azurite and Jasper.
"...I don't have to change my clothes because I'm already dressed as a Ravager." Azurite answered, after a moment of thinking what to say to her, gesturing towards his red jacket.
"A what now?" Spinel asked him with a raised brow.
"A group of an interstellar crime syndicate comprising of thieves, smugglers, criminals, bandits, mercenaries, bounty hunters and pirates. There are nearly one hundred factions of Ravagers around the universe. Quill used to be a part of them before the formation of the Guardians of the Galaxy. I liked his jacket, so I started wearing the same one as he does." Azurite explained.
"...How many?" Spinel was clearly suprised by the number of factions.
"Over one hundred. I've come across one of them ten years ago, when the Diamonds sent me on a mission." Jasper answered.
Spinel nodded her head in understanding, with a smile, before turning towards Jasper, "What about you Jassie? What are you going to wear?"
"I'm not wearing anything." Jasper quickly answered, cringing because Spinel used the nickname she came up for her, which she hated.
"Are you sure?" Spinel asked her.
"Yes." Jasper confirmed it.
"But are you sure, sure?" Spinel continued to ask her.
"...Yes." Jasper repeated herself, growing annoyed by Spinel's questions.
"Okay." Spinel said with a shrug of her shoulders, "Your loss."
"Whatever." Jasper replied with a shrug of her shoulders.
"So, what do you guys think about my costume? Do I look scary?" Spinel asked, as she made a scary pose, trying to look scary to Azurite and Jasper.
"You may scare some people with it." Azurite answered.
"But not you?' Spinel asked him.
"Yes. After the things I've seen after leaving my ship, like the undead horde of skeletons on Darnel's and Freddy's planet, it's hard to scare me." Azurite told her.
'What about you, Jassie? Do I look scary to you?" Spinel asked Jasper, turning towards he said gem.
"I'm not scared easily." Jasper replied.
"I'll take that as no." Spinel answered, as she looked down.
"You still have time to scare someone, everyone is going to be celebrating this holiday." Azurite pointed out.
"You're right Azzie!" Spinel's eyes brightened up as she moved to the doors, "Let's go out, guys. I heard that funland has opened a new attraction which involes making people and gems afraid. It is called Haunted House or something like that."
"Funland?" Azurite asked her.
"Wait, you haven't been in funland before?" Spinel asked, taking quick glances between Jasper and Azurite.
"No." Azurite and Jasper answered at the same time, which caused them to share a quick look with each other. For most of their time on Earth, since they came here, they stayed in Little Homeworld, minding their own things.
"Then you're going with me!" Spinel told them, extending her both of her hands towards them, after putting her scythe inside her gem. She grabbed Azurite and Jasper both and took them out of their house, suprising both gems, mostly Jasper by how strong she was. Spinel let go off their hands, and took her scythe out as they began walking through the streets of Little Homeworld.
As they proceeded to walk through the streets, Azurite could see how the houses and streets were decorated to look more scary than they usually do. He also saw that numerous gems were dressed in various costumes. Some of them even stopped by to complement them, mostly Spinel because she was the only one from the three of them who wasn't wearing the same clothes as usual, for which the pink gem was grateful while Azurite and Jasper didn't care about it that much.
Several minutes later they finally made their way to this "Funland", and one of the things that came into their view before entering it was a bowl that was filled with candy. There was also a note before it, which said "Take one".
Upon seeing this, Spinel immediately took one candy from the bowl, and ate it.
Azurite shrugged his shoulders, and took one too. He had to admit. The taste of it this candy was nice, very nice, "What about you? You're not trying it?" He asked Jasper as he looked at her.
"I never tried any food." Jasper told him.
"Then try it. It feels weird at first, but it's a enjoyable process." Azurite said to her.
Even though she was a bit hesitant about it, Jasper slowly walked over to the bowl and took one candy out of it. She peeled back the silvery lining, before bringing the candy to her mouth. She eyed it for a moment, and put it in her mouth. At first, the taste wasn't nothing special, but after a few bites, she could feel a very sweat taste in her whole mouth, "...I like it."
"See, I told you." Azurite said.
"Let's go, guys! We have a night of fun ahead of us!" Spinel said, as entered the Funland area, Azurite and Jasper followed her, even though they'd rather be in Little Homeworld, but if they were learning how to live on this planet, then they had to give this place a chance, right?
The first that they went to inside the haunted house and when they came out of it, they could easily say that their experience with it was rather disappointing. The only part that took them off the guard for a second was the part when some weird sponge hit Jasper in the face and they had to stop her from tearing it down from the ceiling.
"Well, I'm disappointed." Spinel said, disappointed by how this place tried to scare them but failed miserably.
"Was that place supposed to scare us? If yes then even those two beetles from Little Homeworld would make a better job at doing it than this place." Jasper stated.
"My exceptations were low and I'm still disappointed." Azurite agreed with them.
Spinel then opened her mouth, and was about to say something, but then she heard a familiar voice call over for them, "Spinel! Jasper! Azurite!"
The trio of gems turned in the direction of the voice and saw Steven who was dressed in a cat-like costume. There was another human was with him. A girl who seemed to be about his age.
The thing that got Azurite's attention was the fact that Steven was dressed as a cat, or something similiar to that.
"A person that stopped the Diamonds dressed as a cat, I can only imagine how much people like the Whitebound brothers would pay me to see that." He thought to himself, before quickly shaking his head at the thought of three brothers who were one of the people who were giving him contracts.
"Steven! I thought you were going to dress up as that superhero with shield you told me about. After all you both use shields and even have the same name." Spinel pointed out, as Steven and the other human approached them.
"I was dressed as Captain America last year. When it comes to my Halloween costumes, I'm trying have different one each year." Steven explained as Spinel nodded her head in understanding, then he looked at the human by his side, "You remember Connie, right?"
Spinel nodded her head as Steven looked at Azurite, "And, Connie this gem here is Azurite."
"So, you're the male gem Steven told me about?" Connie asked Azurite.
"As you can see." Azurite answered, trying to figure out who this "Connie" was, "And you are... I'm sorry I don't know who you are."
"This is Connie. She's my best friend." Steven introduced Connie to Azurite.
"Well, then. It's to meet you." Azurite said as he extended his hand to Connie, trying not to make it look awkward. She smiled at him as she shook his hand.
"So, that's a nice costume, Spinel." Steven said to Spinel, once Azurite and Connie shook their hands.
"Thank you." Spinel thanked him with a smile.
"What about you two?" Steven asked, as he turned to Jasper and Azurite.
"I'm not wearing any ridiculous suit." Jasper quickly answered.
"I'm dressed as the Ravager." Azurite explained.
"But, you're wearing these clothes everyday." Steven pointed out.
"See, kid. That's the magic of my clothes, people may consider me a Ravager, even though one of my closest experiences with them was when they tied me up to chair after some guy named Taserface took over their crew." Azurite said, holding back a chuckle. No matter how many days passed, this guy name was still one of the most hilarious things he came across in his entire life.
"Taserface? Are you for real?" Spinel looked like she was stopping herself from bursting into laughter. Steven and Connie seemed to be stopping themselves from bursting into laughter as well. Even Jasper chuckled at that.
"Yes." Azurite confirmed with a nod of his head.
"Did he shot tasers out of his face?" Spinel wanted to know the reason why this guy had such a ridiculous name.
"No. For him it was metaphorical. It was supposed to strike fear into the hearts of anyone who hears it, but it only made people laugh. Just imagine, I and Rocket are tied up to a chairs, and Groot in locked in a cage above us, and this guy tells us his name, and we burst into laughter while being in his custody." Azurite answered.
"I can only imagine how angry he must've been at you." Spinel assumed, chuckling.
"Oh, he was, believe me he was." Azurite said, cutting the part of the story where Taserface was blown up with the ship after Groot with the help of Kraglin got Yondu's fin, which allowed him, Rocket and Yondu escape from their imprisonment.
"How angry?" Spinel wanted to know.
"Very, angry, very." Azurite explained, trying to hide another detail from this story. That detail was the fact that Taserface drew his knife and was seconds away from killing Rocket, if it wasn't for Nebula.
Spinel laughed, before looking over at Steven, "It was nice talking to you, but we should get going."
"One more thing, Spinel. When we were passing by, we saw you walk out of the Haunted House. Can you tell us, if Is it worth going there?" Steven then asked them.
"No!" Spinel answered, loudly, very loudly.
"It's a waste of time. My exceptations were low and I was still disappointed." Azurite added.
"Same here." Jasper added her part as well.
Steven and Connie both seemed to be taken aback by Spinel's scream, nodded their heads. The two groups said goodbye's to each other before parting ways to do whatever they had planned for tonight.
For the next few hours, Azurite, Jasper and Spinel were doing whatever they came up with. Well, Azurite and Jasper didn't really cared what they were going to do, so they just came along with everything that Spinel came up with.
When they finally came to their house, Azurite said his goodnights to both of his roommates, before making his way to his room.
As he laid down on his bed, and was about to close his eyes, a familiar sound rang through his ears. He just received a message from someone.
He opened his device to see who just sent him this message.
It was from Shi'ra.
"Hey Azurite. What would say if I visited you in the next week? I think I found a way how to make our ships faster than they already are."
