"Ahhh," Pearl woke up with a scream as she shot up from the couch. "Pearl are you okay?" Steven asked from the side of Pearl. "Yes I'm fine it was just a bad dream that's all," Pearl said with a nervous smile on her face, " I think I'll go to my room to meditate for a while." and with that Pearl was in her room. Garnet came out of her gem room, and went up to Steven's side. "Is everything okay out here?" Garnet said in a nervous tone.

Pearl was in her gem room meditating, as she let out a sigh. "These nightmares are getting worse every time." Then there was some footsteps and Pearl turned around to see Rose Quartz. "Rose I missed you so-." Pearl was cut off by a sword in her chest and she poofed. The mysterious gem grabbed Pearl's gem and warped somewhere without Garnet or Steven noticing.

When the gem got to her destination she put Pearl's gem in a cell. "That should hold her for now," the mysterious gem said with a little laugh. Then the mysterious gem grabbed Pearl's phone and texted Steven saying that she went on a mission to find a corrupted gem on her own.

Steven got a text from Pearl, and he decided to read it out loud. "I have a bad feeling about that idea Pearl," he said as he texted her back. The gem got the text from Steven, but she crushes Pearl's phone. "They won't find her now," she said to herself.

Pearl reformed with a light purple dress, with pink leggings, and dark blue shoes. "Where am I? How did I get here? Garnet, Steven, Ame-" Pearl was interrupted by a blaster aimed at her gem. "Shut up you clod!" The gem was hidden in the shadows, but Pearl could tell who she was. "Peridot why did you kidnap me?! Garnet will find me!" Pearl said with confidence. "I highly doubt that," Peridot said as she held what was left of Pearl's phone.

"My phone what did you do to it?! Please Peridot let me go back to the others!" Pearl cried out as tears roll down her cheeks. "Now why would I want to do that. Besides I need your skills with technology on earth." Peridot said to Pearl with a evil grin on her face."And why would I want to help you," Pearl said with confusion in her voice. "Because the Earth will end very soon with the cluster!" Peridot yelled with fear in her voice.

With Pearl helping Peridot get off of Earth, and in her spare time Pearl would sleep. Pearl's dreams would be unpleasant for the most part, but this time Pearl's dream was about Steven and the other crystal gems.

Back at the temple Garnet and Steven were starting to get worried about Pearl. Garnet walked into her room, and she unfused into Ruby and Sapphire. "Sapphire what are we going to do? Pearl's gone and-" Ruby was cut off by sapphire." Pearl was kidnapped by peridot." Sapphire said in her calm voice, but Ruby could tell that Sapphire was under a lot of pressure.

Amethyst was in her room unaware about what happened to Pearl. She was laying on a trash pile as she always would. Steven went to visit Connie to get his mind off of Pearl. "Hello Steven what a nice surprise," Ms. Maheswaran said in a cheery tone, "Connie, Steven is here!" Connie rushed down the stair to hug Steven. "Hey Connie can we talk for a minute, I need to get this off my chest,'' Steven said in a sadden tone, as Connie took Steven inside her home.

Steven and Connie talked for a while, before steven started crying. "Steven what's wrong? What happened?" Connie asked with a worried tone. "Its Pearl she's gone. She said that she went on a mission, but she hasn't come back, and now I'm starting to get worried."

Peridot kicked Pearl's cage to wake her up. "Get up you clod there is work to do!" Peridot yelled at Pearl. Pearl shot up, and looked at Peridot with pain in her eyes. "Hey don't cry It's okay, and there is a way to stop the cluster.'' Peridot said as she opened Pearl's cage, and stepped into it, then hugged Pearl in a tight embrace. Pearl hesitated for a moment, but Pearl returned the hug, and started to cry into Peridot's shoulder. Peridot starts to rub Pearl's back slowly, as Pearl shakes with grief. "Shhh it's okay trust me, I promise." Peridot said in a reassuring voice to try to calm Pearl.

After a couple of minutes hugging Peridot soon let go of Pearl, and helped Pearl stand up. "Peridot why are you being so kind to me?" Pearl asked just of confusion by Peridot's kindness. Peridot started to blush when Pearl asked this question,"it's because you and me have more in common than I used to think." Then Peridot and Pearl started to work on a drill that will stop the cluster. "Pearl we are almost done, all we need is the drill head,'' Peridot said with excitement, "I think we should use an injector from the kindergarten." Pearl looked at Peridot with sadness in her eyes. "Wait Peridot I don't know about that, after all Garnet does have future vision, she will be able to see you, or me in the kindergarten.'' Peridot looked at Pearl with fear in her eyes, Garnet the leader of the crystal gems, the one that Peridot feared the most. Suddenly Pearl got an idea. "Peridot can you fix my phone I have an idea," Pearl said in excitement, "umm sure but don't tell them where I am please.'' Peridot fixed Pearl's phone, then gave it to Pearl. Pearl texted Steven saying that she need an injector drill head from the kindergarten.

Right before Steven was about to leave Connie's house, "Connie, Pearl texted me!" Steven ran into Connie' house. "It says that she needs an injector drill head from the kindergarten, the question is why she needs one.''

Pearl let out a sigh, then she started to tear up at the thought of what Garnet would do to Peridot if she found her. Pearl's phone rang, so she picked up, and it was Steven. "Pearl where are you? Are you okay? And most importantly who are you with?!" Steven could hear Peridot in the background of the phone call. "Oh well I, if I tell you promise me that you won't tell Garnet.''

Hours after Steven called Pearl, he went to find Garnet, but he decided not to because of what Pearl told him. When Steven went to find Garnet, he found Sapphire sitting on the beach. "Sapphire there you are! I need to talk to you." Steven said as he ran up to Sapphire. "I know that you do, and that's it's about Pearl." After Steven told Sapphire what happened they went inside the house.

After Pearl and Peridot finish working on the drill, they decide to take a break for a while. "Man that was a lot of work, but now we get some time together." Pearl said as she scooted closer to Peridot. "Yeah so what do you want to do Pearl?" Peridot asked Pearl as a light green blush come onto her cheeks.

After a couple hours of talking Pearl decided to lean on Peridot's shoulder. "Hey umm Pearl I wanted to ask would you-" Peridot was cut off by a roar of a corrupted gem bursting a hole in the wall. Pearl summoned her spear, and started running towards the corrupted gem to try and attack it. The corrupted gem saw Pearl, and swang it's tail at Pearl, and it hit Pearl. Once Pearl hit the ground her gem started to crack. Peridot shot the corrupted gem, and bubbled it. Then Peridot picked Pearl up, and warped into the temple carring her. "Pearl are you okay!" Steven said as he rushed over to Pearl. "A corrupted gem attacked us," Peridot said as tears rolled down her cheeks, "she tried to poof it, but it got her. I am so sorry about all of the things that I have done to your family Steven." Steven looked up at Peridot "it's okay Peridot I forgive you, for now let's heal Pearl." Steven kissed Pearl's gem and it started to glow, then it healed. "Umm Steven there is something that I need to tell you about," Peridot said "it's called the cluster."

After Peridot explained everything to the crystal gems Pearl woke up, and immediately hugged Peridot. "Wait are you going to hurt Peridot?" Pearl asked Sapphire with a worried expression on her face. Amethyst came out of room to see Peridot. "Peridot what are you doing here?!" Amethyst summoned her whip and rapped Peridot in it.

After Peridot explained everything to Amethyst, Pearl came up to Peridot and kissed her cheek.
