FLASHBACK
She opened her eyes. This was the very first time she's opened them. Everything was blurry and slowly came into focus. In front of her she could see a figure, walking towards her. The figure was almost a giant compared to her and she could see the curls on the figures head bouncing as she walked closer, pink in color. She knew this no longer just a figure but maybe...a person.
She didn't know what was going on or who she, herself, even was; Until the pink figure spoke.
"Hello there. My name is Rose Quarts. Pink Diamond of the Diamond Authority here on Homeworld. But you may simply call me Rose." She spoke with such calm, joyful tones while still seeming in charge. Rose Quarts smiled. "I have learned that your name, my dear, is Emerald."
The gem, now known as Emerald, looked up. She looked confused. She tried to speak but Rose spoke first. "Don't speak. I know you're probably wondering what this place is and why you are here." Emerald nodded and Rose Quarts nodded back and spoke again. "Well, Emerald, you are on Homeworld. A planet where beings such as you and I are 'grown' from the planet. We are called 'gems'. Before we show oor ture forms we are just a simple gemstone, and when we do show our forms our gems will place itself where you show your true strength from. In your case, your gem is on your forehead. You must learn very fast." Rose showed Emerald her gem and where it was located; In this case, her gem was located in her mid-section.
Emerald reached up to feel her gem and found that a cold hard object was protruding from where the pink gem has said. Rose found a mirror and showed to the new gem her form and what she looked like. In the mirror, Emerald could see a somewhat short figure. She was a pale but visible green in skin-tone. She noticed her eyes were a piercing green and seemed to jump from the mirror at her and her hair was a forest green and curled in every way possible and was very unruly. Her small, angular face was beautiful and she was happy with the way she looked. Even though she was small in stature, Rose Quarts had said something about how she would grow as she became older.
Emerald. That was her name. She smiled and turned her attention back to the pink gem, now smiling and giddy knowing that the new gem was pleased with herself and she asked "Well, Emerald, shall we continue?"
END OF FLASHBACK
PRESENT DAY
Emerald gasped, opening her eyes once again. She knew she had been forced into her gem, but for how long?
She looked around, searching for any type of life or even just an animal. She couldn't see anything. Nothing but an abandoned field filled with what seemed like earth strawberries. Strawberries and weapons left over from the rebel war. But when she had been fighting it was just an empty field. Now there were fruits growing and everything was so much different. How long had she been in her gem? She must have been poofed in the war. Luckily no one found her and smashed her gem.
The green gem walked around, still searching for any kind of life. She looked at the assortment of weapons. They were all different colors and some she could recognize. Friends and enemies of the rebellion. She had fought against her home world along side her commander, Rose Quarts, who was now only known as such.
She found a puddle and looked at herself in its reflection. She was now much taller and more mature in her looks. She was still her usual colors but somehow seemed different. Her hair was now in a ponytail. Still unruly and curly. Her beautifully chizzled face seemed to be different as well, when she has fought in the war she had very child-like features. Now she looked mature and seemed to hold pieces of her history in her striking green eyes.
Emeralds clothes were a blackish green with stars on her shoulders. Her mid-sleeved shirt went approximately to her belly-button. She had on long black legging-like pants that also had stars on the knees.
"How long was I gone?" she asked herself. No one was around to hear her so she continued. "Where's Rose...And where is everyone else?"
