She just watched; there on her knees, staring in shock as the ban of dastardly rebels retreated off in the roaming eye. The famethyst cheered them on in glee as they left, but one gem wasn't cheering at all.
"Get off of me you insufferable halfwits!" Holly Blue shouted as her expression faded from shock to anger, "Disperse to your cubbys immediately you useless so called quartz soldiers!"
The mood quickly died down as the amethyst soldiers left to their living quarters. Soon after, Holly finally stood up and paced about the entrance of the docking area.
"What am I going to do?" she pondered, "Blue would have my gem if she discovered what happened here, but getting those dults to keep their yaps shut isn't likely to be a hard task."
Holly was now making her way down the pink corridor to have a word with the famethyst, but just before she could get within yards of a diamond door it suddenly opened, she gazed in awe as the towering yellow being stepped out of it along with her smaller pearl counterpart. Holly nervously snapped into her best most inconspicuous diamond salute.
"Ah, there you are agate," Yellow Diamond addressed, "I must say, the upkeep here is very satisfactory."
The agate's cheeks instantly blushed a dark blue from the compliment, "Thank you Yellow Diamond," she replied in flattery, "I do my best."
"Hm, indeed, but this isn't the type of work that should by assigned to an important gem such as yourself isn't it?" Yellow Diamond continued, "I find Blue's use of her court to be very questionable at times, nevertheless, I have to be going now."
Yellow Diamond was right and Holly knew very well, an agate's purpose isn't being the caretaker of some remote outpost. Likewise, the diamond walked off; the heels she sported made loud knocks against floor due to her immense size, but just before her pearl could access the door panel she turned around.
"Oh and please inform Blue that her visitation time here is very limited, for she is needed in the Beta Orime System."
"Yes, Yellow Diamond." Holly replied in assurance.
"Good, that will be all."
Holly eased out of her pose when she went through the door and had breathe a heavy sigh of relief. The agate felt like she was on top of the universe for the moment due to her admiration for the diamond and the recognition she recieved from her, but that feeling slowly fizzled away and was replaced with disgust when she arrived at the entrance door of the famethyst's living quarters. She entered in and they all quickly snapped into a diamond salute.
"You worthless Earth gravels could've prevented that, but you didn't. Instead you assisted them by letting them escape!" Holly yelled at them, getting increasingly pissed by the second, "Which is treason, and there will be consequences; I have to relay an important message to Blue Diamond, and I WILL BE BACK."
8XG saw the angry gem leave the room and resumed the conversation she was having with 8XL.
"Did you see that pearl's weapon?!" She fascinatingly asked the other amethyst.
"Yeah, and that fusion!" 8XL responded, "It was amazing."
"Yeah I know, I've never seen anything like it, but what do you think Holly's going to do to us when she gets back?"
8XL's eyes apprehensively darted at the entrance door, "Maybe the usual, y'know, yell at us some more and give a long lecture about how great she is and how great Blue Diamond is and so on."
"Yeah, it was all worth it anyway, we finally got to meet 8XM." 8XH added.
"Yep, remember when we thought she wasn't going to emerge? And all those days we waited?"
The famethyst's eyes all looked up reminiscent of the time, then the entrance door opened once again.
