Holly Blue and the Awful Horrible Very Not Good Day
Chapter One

Holly Blue Agate was a very important Gem.

She had an important job minding an important Zoo for an important Diamond. Blue Diamond. It was nice to be so important!

Blue Diamond had given Holly Blue Agate many nice things to help her work. She had:

A very nice hangar, for all of the nice ships that came to visit.

A very nice window, to look at the humans in their nice zoo.

A very nice cubby, where she could send Naughty Quartzes for a Time Out.

But one of the nicest things of all that Holly Blue had was a nice whip. It was blue and it went whizzz and whee and zap! If Holly Blue found someone who was up to no good, the nice blue whip would make them be good again.

Holly Blue Agate thought that her job was very nice indeed!

But then, one day, something happened that was Not So Nice.

That day, Holly Blue found a bunch of Naughty Quartzes who were being very naughty indeed! They were playing in the Zoo's engine room. In fact, it was dangerous! Holly Blue yelled at them and told them to get out.

"No!" the Quartzes cried.

"Get out!" Holly Blue said again.

"NO!" the Quartzes cried again.

So Holly Blue took out her whip to make them behave.

But then one of the Quartzes hit her in the stomach- oof! And another hit her in the head- bang! And someone heavy fell onto her back- ouch!

"Stop!" Holly Blue yelled. "Why are you doing this?"

"We don't like you," said Amethyst 8XJ.

"You hurt us," said Amethyst 8XL.

"You're mean," said Carnelian 4ZL, which was not a nice thing to say at all!

The Quartzes pressed buttons and pulled levers. Things beeped and booped and blipped.

"What are you doing?" Holly Blue said. It was hard to talk because her tummy really hurt.

"We're leaving," said Amethyst 8XJ.

Holly Blue thought these Quartzes were being very silly indeed. "Where could you possibly go?"

"Where we were made," said Jasper 9VJ.

"Our home," said Carnelian 4XL.

"Earth," said Amethyst 8XL. She pressed one last button. There was a flash of light and the engine ROARED!

The very bad Quartzes stole the whole zoo. The whole zoo!

That wasn't nice. That was terrible!

oOoOo
