It was a bright and sunny day at beach city, more than usual. The waves gently rolled across the beach, the sound of the sea was only interrupted by the calls of seagulls dipping in and out of it. Since there was a town meeting in the city hall the beach was almost completely abandoned. It was the perfect day for a walk along the beach. Obsidian lived in the city of Jersey, a very dirty and violent city. Getting outside of that area and into a place as fresh and natural as the beach was a requirement for her sanity. She would often visit when the humans were scarce. She walked down the beach, taking in the sea air and the noises, quietly meditating to relieve stress.
Obsidian was by no means a calm gem though, she normally could be described as wound up and energetic, but today was different. Every gem she had met on earth had some twisted view that had made her uncomfortable. Although she had become attached to many of the gems she met, she never felt at ease about them. Usually these beach walks consisted of looking for sand dollars, eels, and other marine life that had washed up on the shore. Today however, she didn't look for any fun in this walk, it was only for the purpose of meditation. Then it appeared. Her weakness.
The smell of fries wafted through the air, she knew that stopping this meditation would prevent her from losing any stress, yet the smell beckoned. She started walking a bit faster, as if she could escape the tempting scent. Only after about seven seconds from smelling the fries she was off. She ran across the beach quickly toward the fast food shack. Wrapped in a trench coat she was unrecognizable and easily mistaken for a human. She silently purchased the fries and ran back to her spot on the beach, hoping to somehow continue mediating. She sat down and began eating her meal, watching the ocean. She removed her human garments, sure that she was safe from view.
