Master of the Boot -I love the drama
What makes it so fun is that she's obviously a hard woman, but the challenges and enemies ahead of her are formidable
It's like a video game, a hard hero needs hard enemies and Mia has them
I love how you put that! That sounds really cool and it's true. She's got a very tough road ahead of her, and that's not going to be easy. I mean, she hasn't even met the other diamonds yet, and that'll be a HUGE confrontation.

The blonde stared at her hollowed reflection, brown hoody pulled over her matted blonde hair, eyes dull and sunk in, bags clinging under from lack of sleep and emotion.
"Hurry up! The bus is gonna leave any minute!" Aden shouted up the hall, the duo of equal foot steps thundering past her closed door, as she stared down at the switch blade knife softly pressed to her wrist.
"C'mon, Mia, we gotta go!" Zane said outside her door, panic in his tone.
The teenager shook her head and closed the blade, later, she'd do that later.
Everyone stared at her, her first day back, since that dance, and no one knew her name, knew her face, knew nothing about her.
She bumped into someone, and she wasn't at first sure who until she looked up and met the rich brown eyes of Lars.
"Hey! Watch where you're going." He said, pushing around her, in attempt of getting to class.
"Don't you remember me?" She asked, her voice graveled and eyes sparkling with a dull glimmer of hope.
He paused, stared at her, flipping her hood back slightly to get a better look at her paled face and sunken in eyes. He saw that fraction of a smile, the only amount of a smile she would ever allow to be seen. "Mia?! What the heck are you doing here?!"
"Just trying something different... It's good to see you." She said, softly smiling to her best friend.
He stared at her, blinked, and stared some more.
They both had math class, and as he explained, their teacher, Mr. Lichtenberg was known for being a harsh teacher, from surprise tests to constant algebra drills.
Of course, being who he was, especially with her, Lars decided to mess with Mia.
Her phone pinged, and like a fool she opened the link he had texted her, one of her least favorite ABBA songs playing for only a few moment before her face turned crimson as the joke hit her. Spinning around she glared at him mouthing. "The day I fuckin do that is the day my interest becomes a teacher!"
He snickered as they returned to the lesson, but he still texted her.
Lars- I dare you to do that when we leave class
M- Go f urself Laramie.
Lars- Nah, not unless it's SA_WEET! X)P
M- I can't even believe you! Focus on the stupid lesson!
Lars- then you do as the song says when we leave -3-
M- I'm not doing that!
Lars- You're gonna do it Mi-mi!
M- No I ain't! Go suck a gem destabilizer!
Lars- Sure, you armed with one? ^-3-^
M-... I really hate you.
Lars- I'll do it, if you do.
M- I know you better than that. You won't.
Lars- I will! I swear on my mom! C'mon it'll be great!
M- Ugh, fine you damn adrenaline junkie.
They returned to the lesson and waited for class to end, but it didn't end soon enough for either of them.
"Hey, Gustav!" Lars beamed, getting up from his seat the second the bell rang.
He looked at the boy approaching him, and the girl on her knee in front of him. "Let me count the ways I love you!" Mia snickered, rolling her eyes at the cheesy math pun.
The auburnette raced past him, a quick kiss placed on the stunned man's cheek, quickly followed by the Diamond hybrid who slapped his rear.
The both ran out, howling with laughter, and for the first time in over a month Mia was smiling genuinely.
Blue.
White.
Pink.
Blue crying.
White fire.
Pink causing.
Blue crying, screaming.
White fire consuming.
Pink causing rage.
Blue crying, screaming at.
White fire consuming, burning.
Pink causing rage to.
Blue crying, screaming at me.
White fire consuming, burning me.
Pink causing rage to fill me.
Mia felt herself breaking it seemed as the images ran through her head and blurred together, fast, faster, fast yet faster still.
She woke up in a cold sweat, tangled up in her sheets her head pounding furiously. She blinked trying to shut off the memory of the nightmare and her alarm.
School. She had to go to school. Mia got up and sat there in shorts and a sweatshirt, she'd go to school in this it wouldn't be the first time.
But that nightmare, it was getting worse and more frequent. Why couldn't it just leave her alone yet?! Mia had tried and failed as a diamond so why should she continue bothering a lost cause? She was crying again, but she wasn't sad. The tears smelled sweet almost, a bittersweet and lilac mingled in with it and a summer's rain.
Then finally she had a peaceful night's sleep, or so she thought.
There were flowers gently waving around her, and sweet soft blades of grass tickled her cheeks. There was anger, remorse, grief, pain, and a lost feeling. She was speaking but the words were muffled and she didn't know what was said.
The tears came again only worse, dumping like buckets from Mia's eyes but she didn't notice, her alarm was ringing she had to go to school again.
You know what? School could wait, it wasn't like she didn't already know that. Something stirred in her which hadn't in a while and that was a crackle of lightning.
Mia walked out of her room with a new sense of pride, and in the time it would normally take her to decide between cutting her wrists or not that morning she was up eating breakfast.
"Mia what's wrong? You're... You're crying?" Sandy asked, not having realized that Mia was never out of her room this early.
"I had a dream of the diamonds again." Mia answered, touching her fingers to her cheeks and staring at how absolutely moist they became in a few seconds.
"Dream, not nightmare. This is good. I think. Why the tears then?" Sandy asked, still rather concerned about the large quantity of water.
"I don't know, I think it was the Diamonds. But I wasn't me... I was...I felt sad, uncontrollably so... I was angry to but I don't know what at. I think I was seeing and feeling through Blue Diamond..." Mia said, rubbing her forehead. "I need to go I think... I just have this feeling that, that I have to."
"Then go. You have an amazing intuition Mia and you out to trust it." Sandy said gently kissing her stepdaughters cheek.
Mia nodded and ran to her room and shut the door, throwing open her closet she grabbed the box she'd buried and tossed aside the lid. Inside was her old clothing, still blood stained, ripped and down right ruined by Jasper, Mia picked it up and tossed it away, there was no sense in keeping something ruined. Grabbing clothes from her closet she chose a tight yellow dress shirt and buttoned it all the way to her gem.
Her sweater vest was shredded so there was no use salvaging it so she took a leather vest from her closet. In fact it looked quite well on her. Next she put on some olive colored leggings rather than her former bronze. About the only peice of clothing that survived was her boots which she pulled on and smoothed out over her legs.
Mia brushed a few pieces of hair out of her face and looked at her visage from foot to head and then she realized something. Her hair had grown and now hung at her shoulders which was something she wouldn't allow if she was going to be a diamond. For Mia Diane Yellow Diamond was not a girl with depression and long hair but a young woman with short perfectly formed short golden blonde hair.
It was a simple enough fix though, Mia summoned her sword and gathered her hair to the top of her head and cut it with the blade, short in back and slightly longer in front just how it ought to be.
Blue Diamond's emotions were stronger that day and Mia shared this with her Pearl who was overjoyed to be in the service of her Diamond yet again.
Because Mia just knew something was going to happen she resumed her sword training with her Pearl.
Steven demanded she let him in sometime around noon but she was so busy with reports she originally played it off until the boy shouted something that made her feel sick and her head spin.
"BLUE DIAMOND TOOK MY DAD!"
Ok so I know that this is short but does it work? I really hope you guys like it.
