I've decided to do a fanfic involving Pearl x Greg cuz why the fuck not.
Steven had just come a day of hanging out with Connie and was ready to go back to eat dinner at the beach house. He announced that he was home but got no answer. Upon inspection, he couldn't find any of them. Amethyst wasn't on the couch watching TV or eating and Garnet was nowhere to be found. Pearl wasn't in the kitchen either. Where was everyone? Usually if they left, they would leave a note. Maybe they were in their room. He decided to check in Amethyst's room first but she wasn't there. Pearl's room was next. No sign or her either. He wasn't sure how to get inside Garnet's room so he decided to watch tv until they got back.
As he flipped through the TV, he found himself unable to relax on it. The sofa felt lumpy. Did Amethyst leave some food packages under the couch cushions again? He hoped off the couch and stuck his hand under the cushion. What he found was a brown leathery book with the words "My Journal" written on the cover. It also came with a lock but it was already unlocked. He wondered who it belonged to so he opened it up. He opened it up and read the first page which read, "Property of Pearl," and even had a drawing of Pearl below it.
"I always wanted to know about more about Pearl," Steven said to himself. With the long history the Crystal Gems had that none of them too much told him about, it'd be nice to know more. Besides, there might be some more information in the book about his mother, someone he was always eager to learn more about. "Then again Pearl might get mad if I do it."
'What she doesn't know won't hurt her,' A tiny voice in his head reminded him. Steven bit his lip and looked back at the warp pad for a solid 2 minutes. When the team didn't show up, Steven ran up to his room and started to read Pearl's diary.
Dear Diary,
My name is Pearl and I am a part of the Crystal Gems. Uh is this how you do this? Seems to be very primitive and nonsense to talk to a inanimate object but this is Earth after all. They do things differently here. I only purchased this thing so I could write out my thoughts. Thoughts I've haven't told anyone, not even that fat man stealing bitch!
"Whoa!" The half gem had to reread that sentence. Pearl was usually careful about her language and he hadn't ever heard her cuss before. Then again he was a kid and Pearl did try to set an example for him so it made sense she might swear in private. Other than that, Pearl was in love with a man once? Interesting.
I would apologize for saying that, but it's the truth. I saw him first and she took him. I had nothing that belonged to me on Homeworld and then when I see something that I want now that I'm free, I can't have it. It's like I'm back there again, expected to what I'm expected and not chase after what I want. How could he be interested in her? I'm way prettier than her! Is it my nose? Amethyst often makes fun of me for it and I ought to make fun of the fact that she's undercooked. However I know she'll just crawl to Rose and whine and then Rose would get onto my case about it. I can't help some of us came out the right way.
"I-I thought Pearl liked mom!" Steven felt confused. Maybe he didn't know Pearl as well as he thought he did. She never showed any bitterness towards Rose. Maybe she got over the man eventually or maybe the man just turned out to be rotten or...maybe Pearl was the rotten one.
Dear Diary,
I tried to tell him my feelings, but it didn't work. When Rose and the others had left for a mission, I told Rose about my crush on a human, making sure to leave out Greg's name. She encouraged me to do it while they were gone. Everyone wished me luck and left me behind. Little did Rose know that I was going to take what was rightfully mine! Sadly I wish that had happened. When Greg came around for Rose, I told that she wasn't there but we could do something together. Greg told me that was fine and tried to leave when I stopped him with a promise to take him inside the temple. I showed him around, something Rose hadn't ever done, including the burning room.
While none of us were supposed to touch the bubbles, I didn't tell Greg this. I was actually hoping he would and he did. My plan was to save him and then once I did, he'd fall madly in love with me like the humans did in the movies. However it didn't go as planned and I couldn't stop the monster and nearly got both of us killed. Luckily Rose saved us. Damn it, if only it had been Garnet. The only downside to it was that Greg began babbling about how amazing it was how she took the damn thing down. Damn it Rose! Garnet asked me why I had brought Greg down there and I didn't even give her an answer. I was too busy being pissed at Rose being a damn hero! It wasn't until she snapped her fingers in front of my face was when I started listening.
"I had it under control," I explained.
"Looked like under control to me," mused Amethyst stuffing her face as usual.
"Pearl, you really shouldn't have brought Greg down there and let him touch those bubbles," Rose said to me as Greg went outside the door . "You both could have gotten hurt or worse."
"I'm sorry," I apologized hanging my head down low. "I just wanted Greg to know more about us."
"It's okay. Just be careful. By the way, how was the date with you know?" She had that fucking grin on her face. I wanted to smack it off so bad.
"He didn't show up," I sighed. "Maybe he was just busy. I dunno."
Rose told me not to give up and she hated to see me unhappy. Too late, you giant bitch.
Dear Diary,
I don't think I'll ever fuse with Rose again. Greg was putting on a music video and Rose was going to be in it singing a song he wrote. I eagerly volunteered to be in it as well so he made be a back up dancer. The giant cow was trying to make it seem as if it wasn't that bad as she told him it would be perfect for me as I was a good dancer. I wanted to tell that walking cotton candy to bite me right on my ass but I didn't say a word. When I saw her touching all on Greg during the song, I wanted to kick her in the face. It was as if she were showing off something that she had and nobody else did.
Then I got an idea. We'd fuse as Rainbow Quartz and then I could get close to Greg that way! I ran up to Rose and whispered the idea into her ear. She loved it and told Greg about it who gave his approval. While we danced, I made sure to send him flirtatious looks behind Rose's back. At first he was shocked and the second time when I sent what humans call "bedroom eyes", he turned red in the face. Then again maybe it had been when I also made the gesture for him to come over to me, which coupled with giving him "the eyes" and licking my lips meant sex judging from the movies.
We then fused into Rainbow Quartz and danced for him. I even got to touch that messy, glorious hair of his. I would have ran my fingers through his hair longer but Rose wanted to move to another location for our dance number. To keep the fusion from breaking apart, I followed behind her. She danced for a while before unfusing as we did a split. Rose eagerly asked Greg what he thought while behind her back, I fluttered my fingers at him behind her back and wiggled my eyebrows at him. I even mouthed "I'm the flexible part."
"What are you doing?" I began stretching as soon as Rose turned around.
"I'm just stretching," I said innocently. "Its been a while since we've been Rainbow Quartz."
"Yeah but..." Rose interrupted by asking what he thought. He tried telling her he liked it, but he was too distracted by my position. I was making sure to touch myself all over my body in a sexual fashion. I may not have Rose's shape, but I was going to rock whatever kind of shape I had. Greg sent me a weird look only to go back to talking with Rose and he even walked off with her. He didn't even look back at me the whole time he walked away. I think I really need to get help to get with Greg, but from who? Bah I can do this for myself.
Dear Diary,
Greg asked me what I was doing yesterday and I pretended that it was part of the dance. He didn't believe me at all but he didn't say it. I could see it in his eyes. I told him I wanted him to be part of the fusion when I beckoned him to me. When he started asking about what I was doing stretching, Rose came out thus stopping him from getting anymore answers as she was ready to go and the two of them went off together. That was a close one. Hopefully Rose didn't get too touchy with my man. While I was outside collecting shells to make into a present, Amethyst jumped on my back and knocked me over. I ended up chasing her around the beach for a while until she threw a rock at my face. That gave her enough time to go inside of her room and lock the door. I'll just get the little shit later when she thinks I've forgotten.
Dear Diary,
I've done it! I didn't think I'd ever be able to do it, but I did. I grabbed one of Greg's shirts! Not just one that Greg made for fans and whatnot, but one that was actually on his body! It smells of corn-dogs and has some mustard stains on it, but it was one his body and it smelled like him. I even managed to grab one of his brushes and a cute pair of white boxers with stars on them. As a matter of fact, I'm wearing them right now. It's the closest thing I'm ever getting to having him near me and I'll take it. Part of me says it's not enough, but it's all I can get until I can do something about Rose. Maybe I should nab his toothbrush.
"That's really creepy," mumbled Steven.
"What's creepy?" Steven jumped and quickly shoved the journal under the couch. It was just Amethyst.
"Oh uh nothing," He couldn't let the older gem know he was snooping through Pearl's diary. "I just thinking about about a show Connie was telling me about and if I should watch it or not."
"What's the name of it?"
"I uh forgot. Where's Garnet and Pearl?"
"We got separated back and I just made it back before them. Now if you don't mind, I'm hungry. Wanna go out for burgers?"
"Sure!" Steven hopped down from the couch and followed his guardian out of the house. He wondered if Amethyst knew about Pearl's crush on Greg but he couldn't tell her about him reading Pearl's diary. She might slip and tell her and then Pearl would be mad at him. No he'd just keep it to himself for now.
More to come soon.
