I was watching her, seeing her crying over the loss of pink diamond. I had gotten separated from my dad and seeing her this way made me have sympathy for her. I've realized now the hurt and anger my mother has caused in protection of the earth but it was all for the best. Now I understand why garnet was trying to keep me from coming here.
As I was backing away, I stepped onto a branch loud enough for blue diamond to hear.
"What was that Pearl" Blue Diamond did not look away from the palanquin.
"I will see my Diamond"
Her pearl was slowly coming to me. I tried to hide in a bush but it was too late, she has already seen me. Her shadow cast over me.
"Uh, hello. Nothing important about me, just a regular old human. I couldn't let blue diamond see my gem at the risk of her possibly attacking me.
"What is it pearl"
"It is a native child my diamond. And by the looks of it, a male native."
"Bring him to me."
The blue pearl gestured me to come with her. Knowing I wouldn't be able to get away from her, I complied. As I got closer to blue diamond, I saw the look of anguish on her face. Tears streaming down her face, quiet sobbing. I've only seen that look on pearl whenever she misses my mom.
"Look at her legacy. Shattered by her own kind and all for what, to save this planet? What is so important about this planet that led Rose Quartz to shatter her own diamond!"
Seeing the anger in her face, I tried to comfort her about her lost loved one.
"I know how it feels to lose someone you love"
Blue diamond looks at Steven in a state of confusion.
"You do?" Blue diamond never knew that humans could understand a Diamond's sympathy.
"Yes. My mother; the one who gave me life died while I was being brought into this world. I'm heartbroken knowing that I will never be able to meet my mother and knowing what was she like."
Blue diamond gave sympathy to Steven. She wanted to know how he dealt with her death.
"How do you cope with her loss, young one?"
"Well, I know that she loved me enough to give me life, and I give back that love by being happy for her. Cause every time I'm happy, I imagine it's her loving me back. Did pink diamond give you any happy memories?"
"Of course"
"Then that's how you cope with loss. Pink Diamond would probably not want you to be depressed forever."
Blue diamond looked down at Steven with a small smile. This child has given her something to live for so she decided to return the favor. She would take the child to the human zoo to avoid the cluster emergence. (What she didn't know was that the cluster was bubbled and was not going to emerge anytime soon)
Steven was grateful that he helped blue diamond cope over loss. He thought everything was going to be okay until…
"What is your name young one?"
"Steven Universe"
"Steven, a massive geo weapon is about to emerge and I do not want you to perish."
"What?" Steven didn't want to reveal that the cluster was bubbled for fear that homeworld could invade but he had no idea what blue diamond said by not wanting him to perish.
Suddenly, Blue Diamond grabbed Steven and called for her armship. The ship landed opening a door. Steven now realized what she was doing.
"Let's go my pearl"
"Of course my diamond"
As they were walking towards the ship. Steven was struggling in blue diamond's grasp. I'm being taken into space! I can't leave, my family is here!
" HOLD ON, CAN'T WE TALK ABOUT THIS FIRST!" I mean, I have family and friends here! I can't just abandon them!"
Blue diamond wasn't able to hear him due to her hood covering her ears.
After entering the gigantic ship, the door started to close. Looking behind, Steven had one more glance before it was fully shut. What he saw broke his heart.
Garnet was watching him leave earth. She had her sunglasses off, all her eyes were dripping with tears. She could only watch as the armship slowly hovered up then took off in hyperspeed. She could only yell out his name.
"STEVEN!"
