Phos was WHAT?! Final
*Everyone is searching every part of the pond for Phos, even the shell left behind by the giant slug*
"Did you find her?"
"No..."
"There's nothing inside..."
*Dia watches with a sad face as all the other gems work hard, while she watches a slug. Bortz breaks the surface of the water as he leans on a floating patch of grass*
"Was she there?"
"No"
"There's not a single fragment of her"
"Oh no..."
"Such a handful"
*Bortz climbs out of the pond*
"Down!"
*The slug starts moving around in the bowl that Dia is holding. Jade, Euclase, and Rain start climbing out of the pond, and so do the others that were helping*
"Since she could knock on the shell, Surely at least part of her should be remaining"
"It doesn't seem like she's inside that thing anymore..."
"Hmm... I wonder where she could've gone"
"Yeah..."
"Phos"
*Dia looks down in sadness, then looks back at the pond*
"where'd she go..."
*The slug starts making a racket in the bowl gaining Dia's attention*
"Phos..."
"..."
"Phos?"
"Squeak"
*Dia, Rain, Bortz, Euc, and jade all look at the Slug in shock*
"Squeak"
*Everyone takes off running to the Medical corner spooking Rutile out of his nap*
"EMERGENCY!"
"Okay!"
"Okay, Okay,"
"Someone was horsing around and fell into the pond earlier right? Let me guess it was Phos"
"You mean you slept through all that? Dude.... How?"
"Practice, Rain practice"
"So what's the matter?"
"This"
*Dia dumps the slug onto the operating table as Rutile looks at it in curiosity*
"It's all okay now"
"Rutile'll do something about this"
*The slug starts rolling around on the table as Dia gets a worried look again*
"Phos! Get a hold of yourself"
*Rutile looks at Bortz and Rain in confusion. Both of them shake their head*
"Just what I'd expect from the Diamonds, your wit is just as sharp as the rest of you"
"It's true!"
"I saw Phos get sucked up by a giant snail dropped by the Lunarians with my own eyes. But this is all that was left, the shell was empty"
*Rutile speaks with a face of doubt*
"Your jokes are so, like Phos's head?"
*Jade Blushes in impressment*
"I'm trying to explain the situation!"
*Rutile bends down to get face to face with the snail*
"Shall we"
*Rutile stands back upright and starts putting on his gloves*
"Just take this thing apart to start with?"
*Dia in a panic raises her hand, as the snail stands up right*
"Wait!"
*Rutile starts messing with the bowl the snail was in, as it curls into a ball and shakes in fear*
"Granted it's rather squishy and unreliable, but... If it's Phos, then it should be alright"
"But,"
"If you take an animal apart it won't come back, right?"
"Also Rutile, you're scaring me more than usual"
"Animals rot if they break... Sensei said they're made to pass on generation to generation starting from the older ones to adapt to the environment"
"How vulgar, she's fallen that far?"
"How inconvenient"
"What should we do?
"Let's chop it into tiny bits and see if it can fix it's self?"
"NO! Bad Rain!"
*Dia chops Rain's head as punishment, as the snail shakes in fear*
"I'd like to do something about this before Sensei wakes up"
*Rutile and Rain prepare to fix and powder the gems that need it*
"Anyway, as long as she hasn't been taken to the moon, it's fine. Our work ends here. Dia, return once your arm is mended"
"Ah..."
*Rutile crouches down and starts putting powder on jades exposed leg*
"We're responsible, since we're the ones who told Phos to check the shell out"
"However, since we don't have a solution yet, let's leave this to the doctors for now"
"Oh, right"
*Euclase hands Dia her severed hand, then walks off with Jade*
"Here"
"Phos dropped this, it was hidden under my papers"
"Maybe she just wanted to save your arm, if nothing else"
"Ah..."
"Alright Dia lets get that arm of yours fixed!"
"Ah... Okay"
*Rain takes Dia to sit down, so she can fix Dia's arm*
"There good as new, take it easy ok?"
"Okay Rain thanks for the help!"
*The snail goes to the edge of the table nearest to Dia in worry*
"Squeak"
"Squeak"
"Squeak"
*Dia looks at it and smiles, as she puts it in the bowl and picks it up, and walks off*
-
-
"It's okay
"I'll turn you back to normal for sure, okay?"
"Also um... You know how I said you should try changing a lot? Does that... Maybe... Just a little... Have something to do with... This?"
*The snail"Phos" nods, as Dia crouches and puts the bowl on the ground and covers her face*
-
-
"Ohhh, I knew it"
"Anyway"
*Dia picks the bowl back up and begins walking again*
-
-
"Let's go ask around"
-----------Time Skip-----------
*Dia shows the snail"Phos" to Goshe and Morga, as they have shocked faces*
"For real?"
"For reals"
"Well I guess Dia wouldn't tell jokes"
*Morga Points at "Phos"*
"Well, isn't she just fine like this?"
"She's gross, but she's well-behaved, and even though she's gross, she's not causing anyone any problems. Even if she's gross"
*The snail "Phos" jumps out of the bowl at Morga as they block her with the hilt of their sword*
"Get away!"
"Don't dribble!"
"Slimy!"
"Slimy"
"Don't be so gloomy, Phos looks happy enough doesn't she?"
"Even so, we need to turn her back"
* Dia collects "Phos" and heads to the next group*
"WHAT?! That kind of thing can happen?!"
"Yeah..."
"Oh... Phos can't do anything like this..."
"A way to turn her back, huh"
*Bonito starts messing with the snail "Phos" a little*
"She didn't do anything anyway"
"Yeah. I was trying not to say that"
*Dia walks to the next group, Zircon and Yellow*
"Oh! Phos! You sure took a big leap! Cool"
"I feel like there isn't much of a difference in her presence"
*Dia walks to the next group, Watermelon Tourmaline and Hemimorphite*
"Actually if she's like this, Won't the Lunarians leave her alone?"
*Dia heads to the next person, Red Beryl, Red Beryl puts a ribbon on "Phos"*
"Oh, this is much better than before <3"
*Dia walks back out to the field and sits down with the bowl next to her*
"Phos, you're not very popular, are you"
"If you're not friendly towards everyone day to day, no one will come save you when you're in a pinch you know?"
*"Phos" gets out of the bowl and starts wondering around*
"Hey, are you listening to me?"
"Phos?"
"AH! NO! Don't go eating grass, that's filthy! You'll get all dirty inside!"
*The snail"Phos" lifts their butt and poops, as Dia blushes*
*Sigh~*
"I wonder if what I'm doing is uncalled-for"
"If you've completely changed, then maybe you won't need to care about how other people see you"
"Or about being compared to anyone else, or feel envious or put up fronts..."
*Dia bends down towards the now sleeping "Phos" and covers her with the bowl*
"Don't go yet, though"
---- Time skip----
*Dia stands up and looks at the moons, while holding the bowl and "Phos"*
"Let's ask around a little more"
"I'm sure we'll find someone"
"Someone who needs Phos"
---- POV change Cinnabun in the Hollow Cape----
*Cinnabar hugs his knees as the clip board flaps in the wind*
-
-
-
*Cinnabar stands up and looks out of the Hollow Cape and towards the moons*
"Work..."
-
-
-
*Cinnabar starts leaving the cave and traverses the sands of the beach, on their patrol rout*
"No matter how many rounds I make, the Lunarians won't come at night"
"There's no need for me"
-
-
-
*Cinnabar has a flash back to when them and Phos were talking at the Hollow Cape*
"Why'd I tell a guy like that?"
"It's not like anything is going to happen, I don't expect"
*Cinnabar nears where Dia and "Phos" are as they see a bright shining object in the tall grass*
-
-
-
*Cinnabar releases his silver poison and sends it towards the object as they approach behind it. As Cinnabar nears they hear Dia*
"Mm..."
-
-
*Dia wakes up and rubs their eyes then looks up at Cinnabar, as Cinnabar has a shocked look on their face*
"...Dia-mond"
"Oh, my? Cinnabar?"
-
-
*Dia sits up*
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!"
"OH! It got all dark, and I must have fallen asleep..."
"You're too bright! It's misleading"
"I, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to get in the way of..."
*Dia puts one of their gloves over their head to dim their glow*
"Hurry back!"
"Yeah... OH!"
*Cinnabar starts to walk off, as dia starts crawling around looking for "Phos"*
"WHERE'S PHOS?!"
*Cinnabar stops and turns around in confusion, then starts walking off again*
"Phos!"
"Phos!"
"Huh?"
*Dia stops crawling around, and sit there for a second*
"Where did you go?"
"Oh no, what should I do..."
*Dia Grabs the back of Cinnabar's shirt to stop them from walking off*
"NO!"
"Aww, don't guess what I'm going to say, you and I were born together the same year, weren't we! Help me look!"
"I don't want to! I don't want to have anything to do with that guy ever again!"
*Shuffle*
-
-
-
*Dia and Cinnabar stop arguing as they both look towards the sound*
-
-
-
*Dia rushes to the source of the sound while dragging Cinnabar with her*
"Phos!"
-
*Dia releases Cinnabar as she crawls on the ground and scoops "Phos" into the bowl.*
"There you are!"
"Thank goodness!"
"Ohh, you can't do this to me! Come here, move by yourself, please"
*Dia stands back up and walks towards Cinnabar*
-
-
"Look, it's Cinnabar"
*Cinnabar turns around in worry, but it quickly turns into confusion, as he comes face to face with "Phos"*
"Can you tell?"
*"Phos" stretches out their snail hand*
"MY, my, she looks so happy"
-
*Cinnabar points at the snail in the bowl with a deadpan face*
"Is this your pet? You have awful taste"
"I can't tell what you Diamonds have going on in your heads, you Rain and that Battle Maniac"
"Well you see, this is Phos. Phosphophyllite"
"The little jewel"
"you rescued a little while ago"
*The snail starts rolling around in the bowl, as Cinnabar puts their hand to their face*
"Explain..."
"No, wait, I don't want to know..."
---Micro time skip---
-
-
-
"So basically..."
"You're saying that guy got eaten by a giant snail left behind by the Lunarians and turned into this"
"Yep"
*Cinnabar facepalms themselves in dissapointment*
*Sigh!~*
"Do you... Seriously think that kind of thing could happen?"
"HUH?!"
"... Before he was eaten, was there any damage to the snail's shell?"
"The Lunarians dropped it all hard and Bortz made a hole in it when she stepped on it, I guess...?"
*Cinnabar puts their hand to their chin with a smug look, and turns around to walk off*
"Why?"
"No reason, I just felt like asking"
"Too bad for him"
"Bye"
"Hold on"
*Dia grabs the back of Cinnabar's shirt to stop them*
" "I know how to fix him!" right?"
"Don't put words in my mouth!"
"I haven't said that!"
"Everyone says Phos should just stay like this, are you going to be like that too, Cinnabar?"
*Cinnabar opens their eyes wide then closes them slightly and looks away*
"No"
-
*Cinnabar faces Dia and crosses their arms*
"That guy... Would be better off gone"
"She's a nuisance, a pain, and she just does whatever she wants"
"She's simple and artless and she can't do a single thing"
"She's a mess who forces herself on people without caring how much trouble she's causing for them."
"I hate her"
*Dia gets a sad look on her face, and then a look of realization*
"Cinnabar"
"Did phos confess to you or something?
*Cinnabar opens their eyes wide in shock then blushes hard*
"Where did that come from?! I've always hated how you see everything like THAT!"
"Well I couldn't hear it any other way"
"By the way, you just talked more than you have in the entire last century put together"
*The snail looks at Cinnabar with hearts in it's eyes*
"Do you like him? You've got really awful taste"
"NOT YOU TOO!"
"Anyway what are you?!"
*Cinnabar starts walking off for the third time*
"Huh?"
"This guy's just a mystery snail, thoes with shells"
"Eat rocks to fix or strengthen their shells, look"
"The ones around here are all white, since they've been eating the beach's white sand, you wouldn't know since your eyes are always glued to the clouds, but the ones around the cliff are the same red it is"
"That noisy, tactless idiot oughta just shut up and plug up holes at the bottom of the ocean forever"
"She oughta just be a mint green mark on something's shell forever"
*Dia dawns a look of sudden realization, and takes off the glove that was wrapped around her head as she points towards the school's pond*
-
"...So, in other words"
"Phos has been turned into part of the shell right?! See! I knew you knew!"
"If we get together the parts that are the same color as her...!"
"Of course, we're immortal!"
*Dia starts running towards the school with the bowl in hand*
"Don't bother, with a guy, like that!"
"There wasn't any point to saving her!"
*Cinnabar still stands there yelling at the fading Dia*
"No matter how many times she comes back, she'll still be a useless dissapointment!"
"But"
*Cinnabar looks at his hand as he makes a Sliver poison replica of Phos with a look of sadness on his face*
"I wont call her a "Liar" not just yet"
-------POV change Bortz ---------
*Bortz is crouched on top of the bell tower infront of the school scanning the area for the missing diamond, when they finally spot her, and jump down to her*
"Where were you?! Until this late"
"I figured it out! We can turn her back!"
*Dia tosses the bowl and snail to Bortz and runs off*
"Wha?"
"H, Hey!"
*The snail tries to kiss Bortz*
----POV change Rain----
'Dia's been gone a long time I hope she's ok, o speak of the devil'
"EVERYONE, COME HELP!"
*Everyone follows Dia to the Schools pond to pull the shell out of the water while Rain and Rutile head to the medic corner*
---POV change 3rd person---
"It's night-time, but show us your nerve! One, Two, Three!"
"PULL!"
*The shell with one very hard pull from everyone is yanked onto the walkway*
-
-
*Jade and Euclase start chizzeling the mint colored peices while everyone else passes the full bowls to the Medic-corner*
*Snap*
"Ugh, it's stuck on hard, this is gonna take some doing, bring more light!"
----Time skip after all the peices are collected----
"This is every part that was a different color"
*Rain and Rutile start putting the shards back together*
*Clack* *Clack*
*Clack*
*Clack*
*Clack*
*As Phos is put back together their awarness comes back slowly until they wake up in the morning*
-
-
*everyone stops moving about and stares at Phos as they sit up*
