Pink Diamond grinned wide as she stared at the opaque projection of her computer, several Pearls carefully inputting her exact commands.
She was a gem of massive stature (but still the shortest of the Diamonds), broad shoulders, and a plump belly. Her tight, dark pink body suit was accented by her lighter-colored, messy mane of hair, and her eyes were a wild red. She was a fearsome foe on the battlefield, having shattered many gems in her life time with her mighty shield.
She blinked at the screen, leaning in closer to examine a small planet on the farthest east of the computer's display of the surrounding galaxy.
"That planet..." she growled, her voice a deep rumble. "What is it?"
One of the Pearls, a small one under Yellow Diamond, jerked to attention.
"T-that is Sector 145.7, my lady! It is populated by a small race of blind, harmless creatures-" she squeaked, avoiding eye contact with Pink Diamond.
"Send my ships to destroy it." Pink said simply and curtly, crossing her arms.
"But, Your Highness...!"
"Are you talking back to me, pathetic Pearl? Do you wish for me to shatter you where you stand?" Pink snarled, stomping her large foot forward. The small, insignificant yellow gem barely came up to Pink's gigantic thigh, so intimidation was simple for Pink to achieve.
"I'll process the order right now, dear Pink Diamond..." her voice had minimized to a frightened whisper, her dainty hands hastily pressed buttons on the transparent keyboard before them. The other Pearl looked just as spooked, but kept to herself to avoid trouble.
The sound of heels clicking against the made Pink Diamond glance up.
White...
White Diamond was the kindest of the Diamond Authority, constantly taking in small and useless rejects into her court to employ as servants. She endlessly waxed about how much she 'loved' her various Quartzs and Pearls, which Pink never understood.
"Ah, Pink! I've been looking everywhere for you!" Her joyous voice carried down the long hallway.
The tall, slender faced gem ran to Pink Diamond, her flowing white dress trailing behind her. The diamond gem on her forehead shimmered with the same intensity as her caring eyes as she started to speak with Pink.
"Come, come! I have something very important to show you." White took Pink by the hand, dragging her away from the Pearls and computer console. The lowly gems that were left behind saluted as they exited the room.
Stomping through the halls with her arms behind her back, Pink glare inquisitively at White Diamond. She had always been a strange, enigmatic figure compared to the rest of her sisters of the Diamond Authority, with her passive and gentle disposition. Their differences annoyed Pink to no end, but she was forced to tolerate her.
White Diamond led her into a large room covered in stain glass windows. The colored glass was inscribed with scenes from gem history, such as the Moon Goddness vanquishing the original inhabitants of the Homeworld. The depictions of such violence brought a smile to Pink Diamond's lips.
"I have a very important gift for you, dear Pink." White murmured softly, moving to a heavily decorated treasure chest and shuffling through it.
"I am aware of how you tragically lost your darling Pearl some weeks ago..." White whispered, tears misting over here passionate eyes.
Pink Diamond squinted. "My 'darling' Pearl?" she questioned.
White's upper lip stuck out in a sort of whimper, as if the phrase had pained her. "Yes, my dear! That beautiful Pearl that stood by your side for hundreds of years! Don't you remember losing her in the most recent raid you went on?"
Pink vividly remembered the raid (as she had a blast and had killed many enemies), but it had just dawned upon her that one of her Pearls had disappeared. She owned a numerous amount of the pathetic servant gems, so she found it hard to keep up with all of them.
Pink wasn't even sure why White was making a big deal of the death of a single Pearl. It's not like it mattered, did it? That Pearl was just a made-for-order luxury item, just like the others.
"Right..." Pink murmured, tapping her foot on the pristine marble floors. "So what is this gift you had for me?"
White retrieved her hands from the chest, cupping a small clam shell with a bow tied around it. "I searched through my stock of un-activated Pearls, and I finally found this beauty in the rough!" Shoving the Pearl container into Pink's palms, White Diamond waited with baited breath for her to open it.
Pink Diamond slid the ribbon off, pulling open the shell. A glistening, oblong cream-colored gem sat on a satin pillow.
"Uh..." she wasn't sure how to accept the gift. Pink Diamond had no need for another servant running at her feet and tripping her. "I'll activate her later." That was probably a lie.
"She's beautiful! And very fancy, too!" White Diamond exclaimed as Pink started to leave the room. "I hope you enjoy!"
