Gem was lying in her grave. She had made a small room for herself there, intending to live out the rest of her days there, where she'll inevitably die and be at peace with the rest of her friends.

There was a small issue however, she wasn't dying. When she'd buried herself there she had expected to lose all her lives within a month or so due to starvation or other means but the death never came.

Hours turned into days, days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months..

Gem didn't know what was happening, had she been dreaming? Was she just down there for a short period of time but had gotten impatient so timed seemed like it slowed down?

.. Eventually, the months had turned into years. Gem didn't know how long she'd been down there, rotting away in that room she'd intended to be her final resting place, still looking the same as before she trapped herself down there

Restless nights and boring days came and went, Gem wished she could just close her eyes and fall into a blissful sleep for the rest of eternity. During these days, Gem ruminated on what her life was before and what awaited her back on the surface. She wondered who was left alive, if any.

There were times where she wanted to dig herself out, escape this nightmare she's putting herself through. However, she always decided against it in the end. (It's not like she could leave if she tried to anyways)

'No one would be happy or maybe even be there to see me alive anyways.. ' She bitterly thought, remembering when Scott read out Jack's will which told them to kill her because she was still on her first life and the others actually tried to go through with it.

Finally, after what felt like decades(maybe even more) she managed to finally get some quality sleep. When she awoke one thing was immediately clear to her. She wasn't in her room anymore

She slowly stood up trying to not fall, unfortunately, Gem currently had the grace and stealth of a dramatic, dying rat. Having done nothing but lay down and eaten practically nothing for the past few decades (or even centuries)

While she was trying to get her bearings someone grabbed her hand and helped her up.

"Erm, hello there" The stranger said, he had brown hair and a beard (He was also wearing some unusual clothing, in Gem's humble opinion) Gem didn't know who this was but it did look like he meant no harm

"Uh.." Was all Gem managed to get out once she got over the shock of the new person suddenly appearing, she internally berated herself for that

He paused, clearly expecting more of a response. "My name's Pixlriffs" The man smiled nervously, holding out his hand

Gem hesitated a bit "GeminiTay" She muttered, shaking the stranger's- Pixlriffs' hand

I didn't know where I was going with this, I was just watching Gem's X life series and this manifested itself in my head so apologies if it ended a bit abruptly

Also I might post this on Ao3 too
