Bad Luck!

This is a Steven Universe Fanfiction episode. See the Appearances and Traits of the Characters here.

This story takes place in a certain time period after Steven Universe Future.

Polychrome Jasper and the Spectrum Gems are having a fun time at the beach in Beach City. The weather is sunny with little to no clouds. Polychrome is in her gray one-piece bathing suit, Tangerine is in her brown bikini, Birdseye is in black one-piece, Black Opal is in her colorful bikini, and Phoenix Lapis is in her red bikini. Polychrome and Tangerine splash each other while Birdseye and Black play volleyball. Then, Phoenix splashes Polychrome and Tangerine with a huge wave of water via her hydrokinesis. When Polychrome, Tangerine, and Phoenix get out of the pool, Polychrome complains that she is burning up. "Oh my gosh, my skin is on fire", she moans. Tangerine replied, "yeah, but isn't your skin already red?" Phoenix is shocked that there are pirhanas biting her legs. "Ouch, my legs. Someone stop them!", she exclaims. "Brrr, I am freezing! Someone get me a towel!", Tangerine complains. "Relax, it's not THAT cold. It is just a beach, not a life-sized refrigerator", Black remarks. After that, Black keeps farting nonstop. Turquoise sees everyone around her suffering and shrugs and replies "nothing bad is happening to me." Then she puts on her scared face and whimpers "right?" "What could be hurting us like this?", Black asked while repeatedly farting. "I dunno, but you should stop farting. You're embarrassing yourself in front of everyone", Polychrome said. Tangerine implored to Black, "What the heck did you eat?"

"I ate white bread. I didn't eat beans because they absolutely stink!"

"You stink for saying that beans stink. I love beans!"

"Whatever."

"AAUGH! The pirahnas are killing me! Polychrome, what should we do!?", Phoenix complained. "I dunno, Polychrome replied. This situation must be giving everyone except Birdseye bad luck."

"Wait, you're on to something. Since Birdseye is turquoise, which is related to green, then she is immune to bad luck", Black responded.

"Then let's make ourselves green!"

In the forest, Polychrome and her teammates except Birdseye are in their normal clothes. They try covering themselves with green leaves, but the wind blows them away. Then, Polychrome, Tangerine, Black, and Phoenix get electrocuted by a thunderstorm.

Next, the team buys green paint buckets from a store. Back in Beach City, the members, with the exception of Birdseye, attempt to cover themselves with them, but the paint is absurdly dry. After that, the team feels hopeless. But then, Hope Diamond, Carmeltazite, and Blue Tahitian Pearl enter the scene. They show evil grins. "Come on!", Hope Diamond said. "Let's spread bad luck!" "Hey, that giant woman is causing all sorts of trouble!," Tangerine yelled. Hope directed her attention towards Tangerine and her friends. The Spectrum Team and Hope's team are facing each other, but at a short distance.

"Mwa ha ha ha ha! Yes I am! And I see that you are enjoying it!"

"Hey, what you're doing was not enjoyable. It is torture!", Polychrome exclaimed.

"So what? I can torture whoever I want! And if you think you can stop me, I will make you suffer even more!"

"Come on. Let's stop her," Tangerine replied. "Not if I have anything to say about it. If you have a problem with her curses, you have a problem with me!", Blue Tahitian Pearl shouted while standing in Tangerine's way with her arms spread out. Tangerine summons her whip and poofs her. Now her body is gone, except for her gemstone. "If you want to mess with my diamond, you'll have to go through me! 'Cuz I am stronger than you think!", Carmeltazite exclaimed with her arms spread out. Tangerine poofs her. Hope Diamond then summons crows to attack the Spectrum Team. These gems complain, but then Tangerine and Phoenix fuse into Red Banded Jasper, scaring the crows away. Red Banded Jasper has a combination of Tangerine's and Phoenix's hairstyles. She also wears a black crop top with a red infinity symbol on it, as well as black leggings. Her body is red and has a pattern similar to that of a real-life red banded jasper. She also has four arms and four eyes. Her height is similar to Hope Diamond's. Hope summons crows to charge at Red, but she hits them with her fiery whip. Red tries harming Hope with it, but Hope dodges and cuts it in half with her black cat claw projection on her right hand. Hope pounces at Red and they hit the ground. They continue wrestling each other until Red knocks her off with her legs, launching her to the ground. Red and Hope summons their wings. Red's wings are fiery, but Hope's looks similar to a crow's. They fly up into the sky and try to attack each other with their fists until Hope scratches her face with her black claw projection on her right hand. Hope then hugs Red's stomach and throws her until she falls back on the ground. Because of this, Red splits back into Tangerine and Phoenix. Hope Diamond flies back to the ground and yells "Mwa ha ha ha ha! You cannot stop me! You are cursed!" "Oh no, we're doomed!", Birdseye complained with her hands covering her eyes. Black Opal recalls the scenario in which Phoenix complained about the pirahnas attacking her and Polychrome claiming that everyone except Birdseye is suffering from bad luck. "Hey, I think I have an idea!," Black said. Black fuses with Birdseye to defeat Hope Diamond. "Mwa ha ha ha ha!", Hope yelled. "You think you can beat me?" Parrot Wing Chrysocolla is the fusion of Black and Birdseye. Her hair is similar to Birdseye's, but longer. She also retains Black Opal's clothes and Birdseye's wings. Parrot Wing's clothes are dark green and red. She is as tall as Mega Pearl. Hope tries summons crows to attack Parrot Wing, but she drives them away with her loud screeches. Some of the crows hit Hope because of those screeches. Hope gets mad and summons a giant crow to attack Parrot Wing, but she slices it with her sword, making it disappear. Hope then tries summoning a thunder cloud over Parrot Wing's head and causing it to zap her. But due to Parrot Wing's good luck (because of her green color), it was ineffective. Hope pounces her and they wrestle each other. Eventually, Parrot Wing launches her off with her legs and the two try fighting each other with fists until Parrot Wing punches Hope in the face with her left fist. Hope then falls onto the ground in defeat. Parrot Wing splits back into Black and Birdseye. "So Hope, do you have anything to say for yourself?", Black asks with a firm demeanor. "I am sorry. I just wanted to have some fun, but instead, I only caused chaos and suffering. I even started a brawl, but karma eventually hit me in the face like a boomerang", Hope replied. "When Steven put an end to the Great Diamond Authority's tyranny, I was not allowed to rule any colonies, so I got bored and started causing trouble. Can you forgive me?" "I forgive you", Polychrome responded. The rest of the Spectrum Team forgave Hope.

After that, the Spectrum Team, along with Hope Diamond, Carmeltazite, and Blue Tahitian Pearl started splashing each other and having fun in the ocean in Beach City while wearing their swimsuits. Hope Diamond is in her black bikini, Carmeltazite is in her black one piece with golden four-pointed stars on it. Blue Tahitian Pearl is also in her bikini.

## Trivia

* Carmeltazite yelling "If you want to mess with my diamond, you'll have to go through me! 'Cuz I am stronger than you think!" is a reference to the fact that Carmeltazite gems are stronger than even diamonds.
