(Y/n)'s P.O.V.

My eyes shot open when I heard a buzzing sound near my ear. I was still half asleep that I woke up and started tearing up my room trying to find what was making the nose before I realized it was just the alarm I set on my phone. I put my phone under my pillow so when the alarm went off, I hear it right away and when I'd go to turn it off, I'd be up for the day. It was still bright out since I came home so early in the morning so it was basically the afternoon. I didn't need much sleep, 4 hours or less was fine. I was use to pulling all-nighters that my body adjusted to less sleep than most people would want to get.

It was rather dark in my room and for the first time, I actually wanted to let some sun light in so I went over to my curtains and opened them slightly. I was feeling clean after taking a nice hot shower. Since I was basically taking a nap, I decided to just put on the clothes I was planning on wearing for the day. I grabbed an apple off a bowl in the kitchen and a sandwich which I accepted as a breakfast. I spotted my keys on the kitchen counter and a stick of bubble gum before grabbing them and headed out the door.

I was on my way to meet Amethyst. I had no idea what she wanted to show me but it must be important. Usually when I got to the temple, Steven would greet me excitedly but I suspected he would still be asleep from our nightly activities. He as well as Lion were asleep on his bed. I instead found myself alone in the living room. I was about to sit down on the couch when the warp pad suddenly activated and Amethyst appeared when the pillar of light went away.

Amethyst: Good, timing. Come on.

She said happily before gesturing for me to stand on the warp pad while I managed to finish my last bit of sandwich before tossing my apple core into the trash can nearby.

(Y/n): So how does this thing work-

I began to ask before I was interrupted by us instantly warping to a place I didn't know. Almost immediately, I felt like I was flying and it felt weird considering as I human that I can't fly and being off the ground for this long wasn't normal unless you were an astronaut in space. I don't know if it was gravity or magic but Amethyst and I were moving with this giant beam of light with such smoothness. I wanted to stick my hand out of the pillar of light but decided not too. It felt like we were traveling for an eternity but no sooner had we began to travel, the warp pad had brought us to our destination and the light went away as quick as I had started to ask my previous question. Not knowing I actually had to prepare to land, I found myself falling flat on my face as Amethyst chuckled at me.

Amethyst: Sorry, this thing is like an escalator, you have to be prepared to get off.

(Y/n): Duly noted.

I said painfully as I rubbed my face that I knew had turned pink. Despite my temporary pain, it seemed to all go away when my eyes widened at this outer worldly place I was witnessing. All I could do was look around in amazement at these freakish gem looking technology and millions and millions of holes in the earth.

(Y/n): What is this place?

I asked bewildered.

Amethyst: This is the kindergarten. This is were I was born....well, made.

(Y/n): Woah, I don't know what to say, it's huge and purple. Are only Amethyst gems made here.

Amethyst: Yeah. I wanted to show this to you because I thought it was the only way for you to truly understand who I am.

(Y/n): What to do you want me to understand about you?

I questioned. I figured everything I knew about Amethyst was right in front of me.

Amethyst: That whole conversation about fusion got me thinking about this. This is the only thing I can think of to explain all of that to you.

(Y/n): Alright, I'm listening.

Amethyst: Amethyst are like big soldiers, their huge and powerful. When I was made, I guess something went wrong and I popped out later than the other Amethyst. When I eventually came out, they were all gone and I was the only one left here. Not only that, I was alone and different. Look at me, I was so much smaller than the Amethyst I met on home world. I felt so wrong...

At this point, Amethyst had unconsciously turned into her younger self. She looked up at me with saddened eyes and it took all I had to not call her cute and scoop her up but I figured now wasn't the time.

Amethyst: I know Steven already told you that after a while I met Rose and became a member of the Crystal Gems and all that. It was here that Steven showed me that I was fine the way I am and I truly believed him but then I met you and you made me feel like there was nothing I couldn't do or be. When you said you wanted to fuse with me...I-I was happy but sad at the same time. I want to fuse with you to but I was scared of what we might create even if we could. When I fuse with Garnet, we create Sugilite who is too dangerous. Garnet won't really fuse of me because we both know Sugilite is strong but dangerous at the same time. Opal is one of my more stable fusions but it's so hard to focus when I'm with Pearl sometimes that if we don't find pace within each other, any conflict between us at all with make us split apart. Besides, Pearl doesn't really like fusing with me unless she has too. Don't get me started about Alexandrite because she's the most unstable because I'm in there. Apart from her, there's Smoky Quarts when Steven and I are together but I admit that she's not as cool. We only fused once and I guess we still have a lot to find out about each other but I won't keep my hopes up. I want someone to fuse with forever like Ruby and Sapphire. their so perfect for each other, so balanced and that's why I like fusing with Garnet because she makes me feel so strong. I get jealous sometimes when she and Pearl are Sardonyx because I know they are a better match for each other than me, she's everything you want a fusion to be. Even Steven and Connie make a better fusion and those two are human! I'm messed up and so I create messed up fusions.

Amethyst was talking so fast and she was so upset that she was spewing tears in her child like form. I knew she didn't necessarily have to breathe but she really looked like she needed some air. She must have kept all of this bottled up with me as her only true outlet and what exactly could I say about this. I never knew fusion was such a beautiful yet complicated thing and I just had to bring it up. I didn't mean to upset Amethyst like this, I was just thinking theoretically but this must be my fault.

I wanted to console her and I stepped towards her in her toddler form as she cried into her palms but she simply ran away from me.

(Y/n): Amethyst wait!

I yelled at her as I ran after her. Her legs may be shorter than mine but she sure was fast considering I can't remember the last time I actually used my legs to run. The Kindergarten was like a maze, a maze of nothing but huge slopes of dirt and holes. I had know idea where she ended up but I had a good guess. The only place she could have gone to was the hole above me which was smaller than all the others. I don't even want to describe to you the struggles of climbing up to that hole but I was glad I managed to make it up there before I lost my grip and fell. The hole was dark and kind of shaped like Amethyst but it wasn't too deep. I heard Amethyst crying from inside before the hole suddenly began to glow as her gem lit the place up with a warm purple light.

I didn't say anything but I merely hugged Amethyst from behind, desperately hoping it would ease her sadness. I closed my eyes and held tightly onto toddler Amethyst before I felt her shape shift back into her normal self. I opened my eyes slowly to find that our faces were very close together.

(Y/n): You know Amethyst, I'm not perfect either. There are so many times where I wished I could be something better or to just stop being a screw up but not when I'm with you. There's still a lot I don't know about gems and even more thing I don't know about Amethyst but I know you. I love you ok. There, I finally said it. I'm extremely embarrassed but your the perfect Amethyst for me. I like that your short, I like that your personality is wild, I love how my heart beats when I'm around you and how I can't stop thinking about you, I don't care if you were made wrong. We're the same. I like that your not like other Amethyst because you truly are unique and you stand out. You know, I was going to stop Steven from vising me but I'm glad that I didn't because then I never would have met you but who knows, maybe we would have still found each other anyway because the world just works like that.

Amethyst sniffed and turned to face me as I wiped away her tears because speaking up.

Amethyst: I get now. I understand what Garnet meant when she said Rose and Greg fused even when they physically didn't. They fused emotionally, like us.

Amethyst said before she suddenly leaned in and kissed me. My heart at this point was beating so fast that I actually thought I was going to faint but instead I held onto Amethyst and savored the flavor of her mouth. Her lips were plump and warm and she tasted...well she tasted like food but in a nice. In a situation like this, I let my instincts take the lead and my left hand combed through Amethyst's long hair while  my right hand roamed on her body, I didn't get far before my phone ring. However, I didn't let it ruin everything, I knew it had to be my parents and after being in the middle of one of our "moments", at least I'd be able to call them back and say that I was bringing someone home for them to meet.
