Hello, I am just wanting to write I guess. Steven Universe is owned by Rebecca Sugar, I have no right over only the story. Thank you for reading this story and I hope you enjoy.
Pearl stared at the star filled night, thoughts racing through her mind as she sat along the calm filled night. She thought about the drill and the Cluster, before her mind wandered to the sounds of the tides hitting the shore. How the sound relaxed her, no matter what she's been through, the sea and Rose always help her forget everything that happens. Rose. No matter what happens, when she lets her mind wanders, she always manages to think back to rose. Pearl idly dug her fingers into the send, as she started at the lunar light, radiating onto the calm sea until she heard footsteps.
"Pearl, what are you doing up so late?" Steven came into view as he walked to her, dressed in his pajamas. Pearl glanced to him, noticing his more than messy hair and tired expression. "I should be asking you Mister. Why are you out here? You should be in bed." Pearl replied, no hint of emotion in her tone. Steven bashfully scratched the back of his head as he lightly tapped his foot against the sand. "I- uh….Had a nightmare again about Lapis. She was so scared but...I know it might be just a dream but she seemed like she was losing control." Steven said worryful.
Pearl let out a sigh and rested her head against her knees. Lapis. That name, her eyes and psyche. They all seem familiar, but she couldn't place her finger on it. "Steven, did she tell you where she was?" Pearl asked, slightly interested in what Steven has to say. Steven look up to Pearl and gave a nod. "She said she was near the bottom of the sea, nearby but….She sounded like she ran out of options." Pearl gave a nod and stared back to the sea. She remained in her spot, thoughts racing about Lapis and the Mirror.
"Steven, you should really head back to the Temple. It's late, and we have work in the Morning. Also, Peridot might get scared if she finds herself alone." Steven stifled a giggle at the thought. "Heehee, she came so far since then, but I am really glad she is a Crystal Gem. What d o you think about her Pearl?" Pearl's mind wander to the small green Homeworld gem. So arrogant, such an ego, but could she really blame her? She only has those few things to hang onto ever since her defect.
"Peridot is….adequate enough. She may have her temper tantrums but she makes up for it with her tenacity. Its nice to see Amethyst have someone new to explore the town with again." Pearl gave a weak chuckle and smiled at the thought. Amethyst and Peridot are growing to be exceptional friends, if not already as the humans call it, "Besties." But for the past few days, Pearl continue to keep walking outside, always watching the sea. The relationship Peridot and Amethyst share always reminded Pearl of something familiar. Could it be Lapis is connected, or was it all in her mind.
Pearl quickly shrugged off the thought and smiled at Steven. "Come along Steven, we should get some rest for tomorrow." She stood up from the sand, gently patting herself off of clinging sand. Steven light heartedly smiled as he reached out, grabbing her hand. She gently grasped his hand as he tugged her lightly back to the temple, but a nervous feeling came to Pearl as she look back at the sea and its high tides crashing into the shore line.
