"Rose, look at this," Pearl said, grasping an ornately crafted mirror in her pearly-white hands. Pearl, along with her leader Rose Quartz and her comrades the balanced Garnet and the childish Amethyst, formed the once-larger alien team, the Crystal Gems. All of them were Gems, and true to name, they were… gems.

From behind Pearl, Garnet stepped forward to speak. This other gem was tall and looked reserved, indicated by the opaque glasses she wore. While considerably stoic to strangers, she was warmer to those she cared for. "We found this mirror at the Galaxy Warp." Garnet gestured to the mirror.

"Yes! In fact, I'm pretty sure it's powered by a gem artifact." Pearl then looked down at the mirror, eager to please Rose, her lover. "Mirror, show me the Galaxy Warp." The mirror did no such thing. With more intensity, Pearl repeated herself, and the mirror repeated itself too. Meaning nothing.

"Oh, stupid thing!" Indignantly, Pearl threw down the mirror down to the floor of the temple she stood and lived in. "It must be broken. I wouldn't be wrong, would I, Rose?"

"Be careful! You don't know what could be in that!" Garnet reached down to pick up the mirror while reprimanding Pearl.

"Garnet…" came Rose's calm voice as Garnet stood back up. "Could you please hand me the mirror?" Garnet complied.

Rose looked at the mirror, and then flipped it to the back. "Pearl, you said that you thought this was powered by a gem artifact?"

"Well, I'm sure it is, even though it's definitely broken!"

"Actually, Pearl, I'm not so sure of that." Rose showed the two other the backside of the mirror. "Look, the gem… it's cracked."

It took a while for Pearl to understand Rose's intent. "Rose, don't tell me you're—" She trailed off there.

Rose didn't respond, and faced Garnet. "Garnet?" She said simply.

The other gem was silent for a while, thinking. But soon, she looked up to Rose Quartz and only said, "Do it."
