(This touches on a harsh, horrible subject that hurt many people. In both mental and physical ways...If you are very sensitive, please leave this page. Even though it doesn't really talk about the event in detail at all.)

It was the morning. Rose and Greg hadn't attempted to have a child yet, but it would come soon.. All of that would have happened in a few years, however. Garnet was off on a mission, Amethyst was lazing around, Pearl was doing her thing..

(Suggesting Steven takes place in the present in an alternate universe. Beach City is in the Delmarva Plateau, so they are only a few states below. If Greg met Rose in the 80s, and Steven is about 10-12, and SU takes place in the present, that means Steven wouldn't even be forming yet.)

The gems did not have a TV, but Amethyst doing her usual messing around with humans, saw some of Beach City's inhabitants standing around, some mourning, some talking with a low mood. Amethyst was curious, and Metal Gear Solid'd her way over the gate. She impishly scampered her way over to the group, tugged on one's leg, and asked, "Why are you humans standing around all sad like that?"

One of the humans responded with, "A plane hit the World Trade Center just about 10 minutes ago."

"What's a World Trade...center..is that something you can eat?"

"No, kid. It's a building a few states up that has THOUSANDS of people inside it."

"Wha?" Amethyst, only having a sliver of sympathy and no idea how to feel about it, shrugged her shoulders and scampered back to the fence. She told Pearl, and you can guess that Pearl didn't even give a single drop of sympathy.

(The entire reason I made this is because I wondered what the Gems did that day. They probably didn't care much. And think about this, this teeny story takes place before the 3 other planes. Even though only 2 including the first one hit WTC, one crashing into the Pentagon and the final crashing simply into the ground because passengers tried to take the plane back over. They were successful but couldn't pilot, I think.)
