## Plot/Script

???: She's awake.

??? 2: You sure?

???: Certain.

??? 2: W... What is she anyways?

???: A special kind of peridot.

??? 2: Really? Like one that actually has powers?

???: Yeah, and she has an enhanced knowledge of technology too.

??? 2: Cool. Better than normal peridots.

???: Of course.

??? 2: Is she the only one?

???: Oh, of course, Aquamarine.

Aquamarine: You're one to speak.

???: Naturally. After all I am... Uvarovite!

Aquamarine: Really? \*uses sarcasm\*

Uvarovite: Anyway, apparently she used to be a normal peridot.

Aquamarine: Like the others? Ugh, her life must've been so lame. But now she has powers! That's a definite improvement.

Uvarovite: \*laughs\* Guess you could call it that.

Aquamarine: Wait, what's her new name?

Uvarovite: I think... Olive Peridot.

Aquamarine: Ooh, that's a nice choice. It still has peridot in it but it's still different.

Uvarovite: I think so too.

Olive Peridot: Ughh... My head hurts... Where am I? The last thing I remember was... Wait. You guys *upgraded* me?! I can feel... power! Power in me! It's... It's amazing!

Aquamarine: Thank Yellow Diamond. She was the one who decided you were worthy of an upgrade.

Olive Peridot: \*eyes shine\*

Uvarovite: Anyways, you weren't upgraded to lament about how much you love Yellow Diamond all day. This way.

Aquamarine & Uvarovite: \*exit the room and start walking down the hallway\*

Olive Peridot: \*hastily follows them\* So uh, where are we going?

Aquamarine: To Yellow Diamond.

Olive Peridot: Oh, ok.

Uvarovite: We're here! \*opens the doors\*

Olive Peridot, Aquamarine, & Uvarovite: \*bow\* My Diamond.

Yellow Diamond: She's gone through the process?

Aquamarine: Yes ma'am.

Yellow Diamond: You are both dismissed.

Aquamarine & Uvarovite: Yes my Diamond.

Yellow Diamond: Olive Peridot.

Olive Peridot: Yes, my Diamond?

Yellow Diamond: You have been chosen to be special.

Olive Peridot: I understand that, my Diamond.

Yellow Diamond: Good. I need you for a special mission.

Olive Peridot: Of what kind, my Diamond?

Yellow Diamond: I need you to research on Emerald. She has contracted a mysterious disease, and anybody who stays within her range for more then ten minutes gets the disease as well.

Olive Peridot: Yes, my Diamond.

Yellow Diamond: Good. For your services, I will allow you to stay in this elite room and relax for a bit.

Olive Peridot: Yes, my Diamond.

Yellow Diamond: \*leaves room\*

Olive Peridot: Yipee!! Freedom in an Elite Room! Ooh, they even have the softest cushions! Ooh, one of those high-chair things! \*looks around\* Nobody's here! \*climbs onto a the high chair\* Ooh! Great view! Wait, is that one of those voice operated closets?! Wait, ahem. Open closet number 4B.

[Closet door 4B opens]

Olive Peridot: Squeee! \*goes inside closet door and gasps\* I forgot these closets were made in case of a lockdown or emergency! Beds, weapons, even food! Wow! I could stay locked in here forever!

[*Computer: Locking closet forever*.]

Olive Peridot: Wait, what? No! No, no, no! I didn't mean it! It was a metaphor! Noo! I locked myself in one of the private closets! Nooo! Wait, calm down. Closet, cancel lock.

[*Computer: Cannot undo the last action, sorry.]*

Olive Peridot: What?!? Nooooo! I'm stuck here! Wait, somebody must be around! HELPPP! HELP ME! I'M LOCKED IN A CLOSET!!!

[*Computer: Searching for... 'Locked in a Closet'. Three thousand results found. Would you like the watch the movie 'Locked in a Closet?'*]

Olive Peridot: No!

[*Computer: Ok.*]

Olive Peridot: Ugh! Hmm... I'm too tired to think now... Maybe I'll take a short nap... On this lovely bed... \*climbs on bed\* So soft... and... com... fort.... able...... \*falls asleep\*

[A short while later...]

[Door creaks open]

Olive Peridot: \*is awoken\* Huh? Wait, Blue Diamond and Yellow Diamond?! I should tell them I'm here... Or... maybe stick around a bit.

Blue Diamond: You're certain it's the Cluster Disease?

Yellow Diamond: Most certain. Olive Peridot! Get out!

[Silence]

Yellow Diamond: She must've already left.

Blue Diamond: \*sits down at a chair\*

Yellow Diamond: I don't want to frighten our subjects.

Blue Diamond: Nor do I.

Yellow Diamond: We'll lie to them, just as we always have.

Blue Diamond: If that's the most secure method for you.

Yellow Diamond: Hmm... Let's go to another room. I feel like we're being watched.

Blue Diamond: Follow me.

[The Diamonds exit the room]

Olive Peridot: Lie to us? Just as they always have? What would that mean? I wish I could unlock this mystery....

[*Computer: Unlocking Closet*]

Olive Peridot: \*falls out of closet\* Gah!
