*Author's notes: This is a summarized version of the events in the 6000 years the Crystal Gems spent on Earth through Pearl's perspective, focusing more on feelings than events. Here there is a mix of popular theories with some of my own, and some things purposely unclear and not obvious. I will post this firstly as a 10 short chapter's story, and once I finish everything, I'll post all of the chapters together as a whole story. I'm not a native speaker, so I may have some mistakes, feel free to show me them. I'll post the chapters as I translate them from my original text. Hope you enjoy.


I was called from my position by my superior and shifted from all the other Pearls, as I had done a few times before. That would not be my first mission, but I wasn't one of the most experienced among my class either. If it were allowed for sure I would be demonstrating some excitement. But no, I was a servant, a machine designed, engineered and brought into the world to serve and not to feel.

I walked down a long hallway, slightly behind my superior, as she explained me the mission. It was relatively easy; there was no risk of confrontation, and I was only allowed to know that it would be a visit to a distant planet from another galaxy. However, my superior displayed so much nervousness, so much anxiety that I almost dared to question her about the mission. But as soon as we reached the hall where the ship was kept I could understand. I did not know at the time the actual extent of my mission, but I knew of my new Superior. She was higher than any other Gem present, and more lofty. She had the posture of an authority, and I knew that although I was just like all existing Pearls, I had been assigned to a special mission. I would be the servant of great authority.

As expected, my feelings were complete devotion and admiration right from the start.

We entered the ship, accompanied solely by some few other Gems, all High Gems with a role in the mission. I received only the necessary details, and no one spoke to me.

After the initial conversations about the mission, everyone was free from socializing to fulfill their duties or at least begin plans for the arrival. I followed the Authority to her office and there she spent time contemplating information on projected screens, until she turned to me, looking me in the eye, and said,

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Pearl, I hope you do not mind being mine for a while"

I did not know how to answer, just mumbled a few words with no real meaning. No one ever addressed a Pearl that way, as an individual ... ... almost as an equal ...

"As you wish, Master, your wishes will always be orders"

"Of course," she said closing her eyes and turning once again to the informations.
