It was a nice day a perfect day for training, Connie walked into the temple everyone was gone on a mission. Pearl left a note for her young pupil it read.."Dear,Connie

I'm sorry I couldn't be there for your training session today so, I did the next best thing i left my training holograms for you. Also, don't push yourself Connie don't rush progress. -Love, Pearl"

Connie giggled rest her sword(Rose's sword) on her shoulder warping to the Arena as she saw the Holo-Pearl holding a thin sword awaiting a command. Connie sat her bag aside then walked up to the the blue hologram of her teacher. "Do you wish to engage in combat?" The hologram said with her mechanical voice pointing her sword towards Connie.

"Yes. Advanced setting." Connie said as she got into a stance the hologram quickly and Connie begin to fight.

-Time Skip-

Connie panted heavily her clothes dirty and she had more cuts on her arms and a few on her sides. She didn't mind the cuts because whenever she trained with Pearl she got a few cuts and bruises. She defeated the hologram she turned to the get her bag as she felt something go through her chest feeling blood dripping from her mouth. She looked down seeing the hologram's sword in her chest Connie was shocked tears falling down her face.

The hologram disappeared before saying "You lose." Connie fell and carwled towards the warp going back to the temple as she coughed up blood 'I can't believe I made such a beginner mistake..I hope they are at.. the temple...or..I'm really dead...there was so much I didn't get to tell Pearl or Steven..' she thought in her head as her eyes slowly closed. The Crystal Gems heard the warp pad go off and turned around everyone gasped in shock. Pearl covered her mouth looking at her pupil, her responsibility...with a sword in her chest.

"N-no Connie I should have stayed and trained you! It's all my fault..." Pearl cried looking at Connie's body the pool of blood getting bigger Steven was just as shocked.
