Hey everyone, so here's some fics that take place in between chapters of Seditionis Adamas specifically. this request came from October Heart. Enjoy!

Yellow Pearl couldn't accept being idle. It wasn't quite written into her programming but all through her life the most stressful had been when she could do nothing. So she checked in on the ship. She had gone to the barn alone initially but now she was being followed.

Pumpkin had been a constant presence throughout the ship building, though even with explanation Yellow wasn't entirely sure how her existence was even possible. Usually Pumpkin stuck close to the Crystal Gems or Blue who had been much more initially accepting of her general organic weirdness. Apparently when no one else was around though, that point was completely moot.

Pumpkin wouldn't leave her alone, not that she was being obstructive by any meaning of the word, actually the quadrupedal gourd was being quite helpful, collecting various tools that had been left out and bringing them to her. Yellow Pearl would put them away and Pumpkin would whine for a few moments before leaving and returning with another piece of equipment. Eventually Yellow Pearl exited the ship and headed for the warp pad only to be stopped once again by Pumpkin this time holding a protrusion from one of the organic plants on the planet.

"While I appreciate your help earlier, I don't know what I'm supposed to do with that." Yellow Pearl said, feeling a little bit ridiculous talking to a non sapient creature. Pumpkin dropped it at her feet and barked at her. While she wasn't as fervent about her hatred of organics as her Diamond, Yellow Pearl did understand her disdain. How was she supposed understand that?

"She wants you to throw it for her." Lapis Lazuli said. Yellow Pearl squawked, not having heard the other gem land behind her.

"What?!" She said, too startled to even bother to try to remember the proper term of address for a Lazuli. Lapis picked up the stick and handed it to her.

"Just throw it, like over there or something." Lapis said gesturing towards the barn. Yellow pearl looked at the stick in her hand, then at an eager looking pumpkin and then at lapis who looked at her expectantly. Yellow Pearl threw said stick gently so that it landed a few feet away. Pumpkin barked excitedly and ran after it. She picked up the stick and ran back over to Yellow Pearl and dropped it at her feet again. Yellow Pearl glanced at Lapis again who was smiling fondly at Pumpkin.

"She just wants to play, it got quiet again all of the sudden out here." She said.

"And this is..enjoyable for her?" Yellow Pearl asked, lapis' had a reputation for being flightly and incredibly stuck up. This one, a Lapis Lazuli and Blue Diamonds chief terraformer nonetheless, seemed to be neither of those things.

"I guess, Steven taught her how and now she bugs me and Peridot to play with her all the time." Lapis said with a shrug "If you want to stop just tell her no, she'll get the hint, she's very smart."

Yellow Pearl almost asked what possible intelligence an animated piece of organic plant life could have. But, due to the fact that the planet was 75% water, and Lapis seemed to be attached to said organic plant life, she refrained. Yellow threw the stick again.

"You really enjoy this?"

"Enjoy what?" Lapis asked leaning up against a nearby tree, watching Pumpkin.

"Being... here, you're not doing anything." Yellow said.

"Nope, and it's great," Lapis said folding her arms. "Court was exhausting, and now..." Yellow Pearl didn't need her to finish the sentence. Homeworld had advanced a lot in the millenia following the rebellion on earth and it wasn't just those who had been separated from it that were overwhelmed by those differences. Yellow threw the retrieved stick again, it was something to do.

I can't promise any kind of regular update schedule for it but I will definitely take requests for it here and in the main fic. let me know!
