Chapter 2: Pearl the Human

Pearl groaned in pain. When the liquid touched her, her forehead burst into pain and her insides felt queasy like if they were filling up with organs. And was her mouth filled with … saliva? Or maybe she was wrong and the liquid had destroyed her gem and this is what dying feels. At least she had saved Steven from that threat. Speaking of Steven, did she only stall time for the monster to attack him? Her thoughts kept on thinking for the worst until she heard a familiar voice.

"Pearl, are you okay? You look almost like me!"

Steven! He was alive … unless she was dead which meant – Pearl sputtered into tears.

"Pearl, please wake – wait, are you crying?"

Those words Steven said must have meant that … she was alive and so was Steven!

"Oh, joy!" Pearl cried out and hugged Steven while crying tears of, well, joy.

"Pearl, you are okay, right? Also, your skin awfully feels like human skin … and looks like human skin too.

Wait, what?

Pearl stood up from kneeling and looked at her reflection in one of the geysers.

"Oh my goodness," Pearl stuttered while shuddering, "I'm … a human!"

Her two main Gem features were gone: Her sky blue skin and her PEARL!

"Where's my pearl?" Pearl freaked out.

"Is this it?" Steven asked while picking up a smooth white oval stone.

Pearl sighed in relief. At least she hadn't lost her weapon.

"Now Pearl, you never answered me. Are you okay or not?" Steven asked again.

"Kind of; I mean, I am a human now." Pearl replied, with a bit of madness (the insane mad mind you) hidden in her voice.

"Well no wonder you look different, you're a human now!" Steven said in astonishment.

"I thought it would be obvious. I even shouted it after all." Pearl replied.

All of a sudden, around the area where the human stomach is located, a rumbling sound came from the zone.

"Looks like someone's hungry." Steven said with a cheeky smile.

"Oh no, I am NOT going to eat food and have the progress you humans call "Digestion"." Pearl grumbled.

"Sorry Pearl but if you're a human now, you got to eat food. How about we go down to Garnet? She'll probably have something real good." Steven replied excitedly and he raced towards the warp pad.

Pearl sighed and decided to follow Steven.
