Sodalite's glare was locked. "Why are you hosting two of the most powerful gems on this lowly planet in a weakened form?" She growled. "And why don't they know their own names? He shouldn't be embarrassed of his gem. He should be proud the Crystals one their rights for this planet." She sighed.

"For the record, my son bought them fair and square twelve or more years ago. It's not his fault they turned into literal discoloured babies." Stan argued.

"So their base is in Piedmont?" Sodalite asked. Stan nodded. "How have you been training them?"

"Uh, they'll figure it out eventually." He said, looking at the bubbled gems she had displayed. "The hell'd you get this?" He asked, poking at a white tinted bubble. "Cat's Eye is like, the king amongst cool looking gems, no offence."

"None taken. You should really get on training those kids. I'll even help if you really need it." Sodalite spoke. "Although I might be a little out of practice." She hummed thoughtfully.

Stan inspected the chrysoberyl. "Did this used to be..."

"Yes. It was a gem. Sadly, corrupt at this point. There are many corrupt gems out there, Stan. Let me train Lunas and Solana." Sodalite said.

"No way." Stan said. "And this gem looks weird." It was a bolo tie with a turquoise stone in the middle.

"Turk?" Sodalite sighed. "She really was beautiful..." She furrowed her brow. "Stanford, these kids need training." She said sternly.

Stan rolled his eyes. "There're not ready! They'll get training when they're old enough. They'll be the definition of innocent until I say they can be otherwise."

Sodalite sighed. "I still believe this is the wrong choice."

"Look, when I notice their powers starting up, I'll give you a call." Stan compromised, getting up and exiting the office, without another word from Sodalite.

He went to the lobby to find his two multicoloured grand... brother's grand kids. yeah. Talking it up with- No!

"Come on, kids." Stan said, pushing his kids away from the tiny, white haired menace they were socializing with. Gideon.

"But Sta~an." Mabel whined.

"No butts, except yours out the door. Come on, Sodalite's there if this ever happens again, so let's go." They got in their car and drove off, Stan swerving everywhere.

The secretary looked at the next scheduled appointment. "Gideon Charles Gleeful." She called, then blushed as she noticed there was only one family in the lobby. "Only door to your left."

"Why, thanks." Gideon said cheerfully.

His dad, Bud Gleeful put his hand on his son's shoulder. "Now, son-"

He was interrupted by a high pitched "Don't touch me!!!" By his son, swatting away his hand. He cleared his throat and opened the door. "Father, wait out here." He entered.

He sighed as he entered, seeing one of his enemies before him. "Sodalite." He greeted.

"Gleeful." Sodalite scowled back. From the back of her head, she pulled out a blue gun-like weapon and aimed it at the dangerous child.

"Modernized your bow and arrow, I see... very clever." Gideon giggled. He looked at the bubbled gems at his side. As he popped one, Sodalite moved up and her gun started glowing. The gem glowed dimly, thank goodness it wasn't ready.

"Gideon, don't make me do this, I am under oath not to harm any form of human consciously." She said in a commanding tone.

He swiped another bubble off the bookshelf they laid on, popping it. "Whoopsie, looks like I dropped one." He said, his tone turning angry. When he got to the cat's eye, Sodalite blocked his path and stood tall.

"Fool! Gideon, you are a fool. Do not awaken chrysoberyl! You may not have the faintest idea on what you've done if you did." Sodalite said.

Gideon got in a defensive pose. "You are the fool!" He took an object out from his pocket. A violetish blue, square shaped gem.

Sodalite scowled. "Return him, Gideon."

"What? This old thing?" Gideon threw the gem behind him and Sodalite ran to catch it. She pet it before trapping it in a bubble. She looked back to find that Gideon... was gone. So was the cat's eye and turquoise. Her expressed tensed into an angry scowl.

"GIDEON!" She shouted at the ceiling. She stomped to the lobby and found it empty.

"Lite, are you ok?" Her secretary friend asked.

Sodalite huffed. "For now."

"Stan, was that actual magic? Why was that woman calling me Lune?" Dipper asked the driver. He was too curious for his own good, and that's exactly what his Grunkle told him.

"You're too curious for your own good, kid. You're probably delusional from the meds she gave you." Stan lied, keeping his eyes on what looked to be road.

"What about his arm? What happened to his arm, huh?" Mabel questioned.

"Your gems are connected with and control your molecular forms." Stan said, now squinting at the road. "If it breaks, your body starts breaking."

"So... we're magic?" Dipper asked, looking at his arms in wonder.

"No." Stan shut down. "You're..." He looked for a lie. "One of a kind, it's a birth defect. It happens in twins, your skin condensed itself into hard stone-like calluses that hold your fragile unstable bodies together." All new information he told, lies.

"Oh." Dipper said. So, what did Stan's word mean? One of a kind, birth defect, fragile, unstable.... did he just call them mistakes? Or some kind of freak or something? Either way, it was definitely a put down.

Mabel seemed interested. "Woah, really? Freaky!" She took off her sweater and started poking at her gem that shown through a hole she cut in her shirt.

"So don't be breaking them!" Stan shouted, not keeping his eyes off the dirt path he trailed off on. "How the heck did you break it in the first place?"

"Dipper and I were fighting gnomes!" Mabel blurted, Dipper cringing.

Oh, they were gonna be in trouble, weren't they? Doing dangerous stuff is always number one in things not to do! Fighting those gnomes was very dangerous. Not to mention inexplicably magical! Dipper panicked internally, externally getting sweaty and almost shaky. He hated being yelled at!

"You kids and your imaginations!" Stan laughed. Dipper relaxed and gave a confused look. He proceeded to look at Mabel with the same expression. His orange sister just shrugged and gave him a reassuring smile. He sighed, grabbing at her resting hand. He knew how much she claimed she didn't, she felt just as connected and reassured as he did once they held.

"I guess I can be a bit paranoid sometimes..."
