Five Rubies
Ruby walks out of the barn and nervously steps towards the other rubies, smiling. The rubies are chatting amongst themselves. Doc is standing on top of the pod, instructing his group.
"Focus, Rubies! This is an important mission from Yellow Diamond! so we can't mess it up." Ruby slides up next to Navy, sweating. "Ehehey, uh, what are we all doing over here?"
All of the rubies look at her with suspicious expressions. Leggy raises her hand. "Yeah, what are we all doing here?" Doc folds his arms. "We're here to retrieve the leader of the Earth mission."
Doc raises an eyebrow. "Hey, wait a second. It seems like there are more of us than usual. He leans in closer. Navy shrugs. "There's supposed to be five of us." Army clenches her fist after holding up five fingers.
"Five rubies!" Eyeball holds up five fingers as well and nods as Leggy looks at her. She then holds up five fingers as well. Doc begins counting and pointing. "One, two, three, four... five." She forgets to count herself.
"Ah, never mind." Ruby breathes in relief. Doc continues. "The leader of the Earth mission must be around here somewhere." Ruby nervously points at the barn, forcing a poker face.
"Well, she's definitely not in that barn." Doc looks at the barn. "Wow, I didn't see that before." She points at it. "Maybe we should look around in there." Ruby quickly covers up to abort.
She raises her hands. "I'll go!" Navy looks at her. "By myself!" Ruby runs away groaning. Navy waves.
"Ba-Byee!" Ruby runs to the barn and stands at the doorway in panic. "They want to search the barn!"
Steven noticed. "We heard." Along with Pearl."We saw." Peridot looks in anguish. "I'm scared!" Amethyst holds up a baseball bat. "Let's ambush them!" Sapphire speaks up. "No, no one needs to get hurt. Let's be sensible."
Ruby continues to panic, his face still sweating. "What do I do?" She bites her fingers. Sapphire holds Ruby's arm and reassures her. "Just go out there and tell them that this is a place where humans live."
Ruby takes a breath and calms down. "I don't wanna go alone..." Steven speaks up. "Ooh, I'll come! I'll be your backup." Amethyst hands Steven a baseball bat. "And here's some backup for your backup."
