Garnet was taking a break from cleaning the beach of unearthly shards, staring at the sunset. She couldn't quite put her finger on it, but something was off. Something she could feel but couldn't see. She started digging up large pieces of metal, watching Steven get distracted by different seashells and stones. It was getting late, and they were trying to get as much work done while there was still daylight. Steven eventually convinced everyone to come inside and save the rest of the work for the morning. Steven was asleep and the other gems were off doing frivolous things on their own. Garnet was sitting on the couch, staring out the window. She was contemplating whether to fill Pearl and Amethyst in about the off feeling she had. As she rolled the idea around in her mind, she was a flash coming from outside; it was a portal.

She rushes outside to investigate the new gateway. She was on high alert. This was more than likely to be the reason she was feeling weird. Once she got close enough, she could see a figure standing in front of the portal. She armed herself and ran full speed ahead. They were too fast, jumping into the air before she could get to them. She was trying to see the future for him, but everything was blurry and she couldn't make it out. It was frustrating her, driving her crazy like an itch she couldn't scratch. She slams her fists onto the sand and lets out a scream before continuing to attack whoever this was. Suddenly, she saw a gleaming green light coming from the sand. She moves her focus from the being to the glow. She was confused about what it was, it looked like a watch but she was confused because of how bulky it was. Her first instinct was to smash it but she immediately took two things into consideration: One: she had no idea what the use of this device was and how detrimental this situation could get if it was destroyed. Two: she could use it as leverage to get information from this being.

"STOP!" the being yelled, his voice booming over the shore.

"OR WHAT?!" she yelled back, her voice carrying the same passion.

He was now standing about ten, maybe fifteen feet away from Garnet. The portal was closed leaving little to no light, all she could see was his figure. One of the first things she noticed was how lanky he was. He threw his guitar over his shoulder and put his arms up, slowly approaching.

"Is that an accent I hear?" he asked her.

"Was that you stalling?" she befuddled. He laughed and started getting closer.

"Are your intentions on this planet hostile?" Garnet asked.

"Only if you break my watch," he said, he was now only 5 feet away from her.

She was a bit taken back by his form. He had big hair like her, for how fast he was moving it didn't surprise her to see how skinny he was. He had spike cuffs on each arm with a matching choker around his neck. He looked like the men on Greg's band posters. Before she could react one of Hobie's webs flew past her and was attempting to take the gadget from her grasp. She held on as hard as she could without breaking the thing. This caused her feet to be dragged towards him through the sand, the sudden motion knocked Garnets glasses off. They were practically chest to chest, he seemed to be taken back as much as she was. They stood on the shore, making direct eye contact with each other. They both smirked at each other before all hell broke loose, Garnet smashed her armored fists against the sand. Hobie jumps into the air and uses a web trying to get ahold of his watch. She could tell he wasn't entirely human, solely based on the way he was fighting. He was so powerful yet controlled with his movements and combat, mortals on her earth weren't as.. articulated. They were going back and forth for a while, mostly doing each other's attacks.

"You should know that I take protecting planet Earth very seriously, anything it takes," Garnet said.

"Looks like we have a lot in common, I don't want to cause any problems on your bloody planet. I came here by accident. Just relax with the aggro," he said now with his mask on.

"How did you get here? I saw you come through a portal," Garnet said.

"It's a long story of love; not every song is meant to be sung. Not to mention the details are probably over your head, really crazy shit," he said.

"Walks on the beach were made for long stories. I am two gems with a body that is both light and matter. I've been alive for thousands of years and fought in a war against my home planet that took many of my allies' lives. Not much is over my head," she said while unarming her fists.

"Fair enough, that's pretty deep,” he said.

They started walking down the shore line, Hobie explained his powers and where he got them from. Explained what the Web-Watch was and how he could travel dimensions. They bonded over some of the trauma they had experienced while fighting for what’s right. She explained how on homeworld the fusion of two different gems was unheard of and how horrible the reactions were when she fused infront of people. Hobie compared it to how the police and media on his planet always villainize him even when all he does is help people. Garnet had been on Earth for so long that she forgot what it was like to be.. impressed and surprised by new people or things. Pearl, Amethyst and herself were usually the most unique people in the room. People were infatuated and entertained by how unpredictable and worldly they are. She was getting a taste of that from Hobie, it was nice having an interaction that she didn't know the outcome of. He asked her if she was British which made her laugh because she had never even been to England. Garnet began explaining what the crystal gems were and why they rebelled against the diamonds. Hobie commenced her and the gems on their bravery and gave condolences of their losses. It didn't take long for them to start comparing how similar they were. The accent, the hair, their need to stick it to the man. The fact that they were bathing was fighting a war that would cause more damage than repair. They were now just sitting in the sand, Hobie was talking about his plans if he woudln't have become spider-man. He wanted to tour and play shows but obviously that wasn't in the plan for a while. She understood how she felt completely, she would sometimes wonder what she would do if she had absolute freedom. If she didn't have to fight or protect anything or anyone. Wondering if the war she's fighting is worth what it took from and out of her. Hobie asked her about her gems and she explained what fusion was. He was in awe about this, talking about how it's similar to humans.

"You know, as humans grow and mature we take things from our past and use it to create the people we are today. Before I became Spider-Man, I was.. yeah a twat to put it bluntly. I didn't kill that person, he's still with me but now understands that he wasn't as good of a guy as he thought. Sometimes I even find myself almost making important decisions with that old mindset but it's like the newer me grabs his hand and leads him the right direction," he said as they looked up at the sunrise.

"You're a cool dude, Hobie Brown," Garnet said.

"You're a pretty fly bird Garnet," He said.

Steven eventually came out looking for Garnet. He was shocked by Hobbies presence but then started asking about his guitar and other pins that were on his clothes. He was then dragging him back to the house, specifically to show Hobie his dad vans and all his music. Garnet followed, watching as Hobie answered all Steven’s inquiries about his style and instrument. They were now sitting listening to Greg’s records which Hobie really liked, anything underground was Hobies scene.

“Can you stay for Sadie’s concert tonight? She is the lead singer of Sadie Killer and The Suspects. Maybe you could even perform, that would be so cool!” Steven said as he pulled out one of her CDs to sample.

“I don’t think he can stay Steven, he also has a version of Earth that needs his protection,” Garnet said.

“The only reason I’d stay was for a good show,” Hobie said, taking a bite of the pancakes that Steven made.

Everyone that met Hobie seemed to really like him, he was reserved yet polite. The show was going to start any minute, Sadie and her band were backstage tuning their instruments. Steven was running around last minute to make sure everything was taken care of. Pearl was hanging out with Amethyst leaving Garnet in the crowd with Hobie. They were making small talk about people in the crowd. Not in a negative way or anything, more like people watching. He was admiring how colorful everyone was, there wasn’t a single frown in the crowd. He was talking about how on his Earth everyone was so preoccupied with how they were preserved by strangers and how it showed in the way they act.

“Concerts on my Earth nowadays are more about taking pictures to prove you were there. Those wankers end up watching the entire performance through a screen. They probably wouldn’t be able to remember it if it weren't for the 100s of pictures on their phone. I can see the difference here though, people are more connected, I love to see it,” he said, shoving his hands into his pockets.

“There are still those types of people here, even more so on homeworld,” Garnet said.

“Well, I’m glad there aren’t too many of those people here,” he smiled.

The lights were now starting to go down, indicating that the band was about to start the event. Once the band came on stage, the crowd was going crazy. Even Garnet began swaying back and forth to the music, same as Hobie. After a couple songs Sadie called Hobie on stage and everyone was mesmerized with his preface. He was jumping around and swinging while playing guitar in perfect rhythm. Garnet was really enjoying watching his performance, Steven and Greg had shown her many genres of music and all the media that came along with it. Watching Hobie perform was different, she could never predict what he would do next and it created a feeling of suspense that Garent wasn’t used to. It was nice to see how much he enjoyed performing in his facial expressions. Sadie was dancing with him as they performed together, he crouched down real low so that they could both sing into the mic at the same time. Normally her band mates would be keeping the same serious look on their face but they were grinning ear to ear; matching Hobie’s energy. Hobie was having a great time too, it was nice to look into the crowd and see smiling faces instead of the flash from a cell phone. Once the song was over, Hobie swung from the stage and in front of Garnet who was at the back of the large crowd.

“See you around,” he said, giving her a peck on the cheek before opening a portal and leaving.

Suddenly Sapphire and Ruby were unfused, and Ruby was practically on fire. Safire was a bit confused but then realized it due to jealousy. Sapphire then ran after her, eventually catching up farther down the shore. Rubying was still fuming, breathing heavily with her arms crossed.

“I’m sorry Ruby. The reason I was so preoccupied with Hobie was because I couldn’t predict his future and wondering about it was making me blind to your feelings. That was wrong and I’m sorry,” Sapphire said, setting her hand on Ruby’s shoulder.

“I was just jealous because that’s how we used to be,” Ruby said, more sad than angry.

“Oh Ruby, I still feel that way about you. I think part of the reason he interested me was because he reminds me of you. I will always love you more than anything and if you don’t want anything to do with Hobbie we can tell him that if he ever comes back. I’m so sorry I made you feel this way Ruby, and I'm even more sorry for not noticing,” Sapphire said, wiping a tear from her eye.

“I love you too Sapphire, I’m glad we talked about this and I understand why you had so much interest in him. I would be lying if I said I didn’t think he was cool,” Ruby said, taking Sapphire into her arms, twirling around before fusion and making her way back to the concert.
