Chapter 1
So Rose was this gem who believed that Earth deserved to be protected from these other gems. She was the one who pretty much saved me from that Kindergarten. We became really good friends. After that, that's when I met two more friends: Garnet and Pearl. Garnet is more of the calm and collected type, (And also a fusion. Just thought I'd point that out.) while Pearl is the one who went NUTS over Rose. Oh believe me, she was totally desperate to make Rose her girlfriend. It was kinda sad...but also funny. But mostly sad, since it's been going on for over 5,000 years. Imagine that.
What's even more hilarious is that she got friendzoned by her. All because of a HUMAN, who is pretty cool. He was the one who got me into drumming. Oh yeah, I drum like a freaking pro. His name is Greg. He was some rockstar who went by "Mr. Universe." I was OBSESSED with his hair, so I grew it out to make it look just like his...Don't judge me.
Garnet and I got along with him just fine. Pearl on the other hand...wellll...no. You should've SEEN Pearl during that time. She was so damn SALTY to Greg. Very, very salty! She was as salty as the ocean itself! But can you really blame her? She was trying to impress rose for CENTURIES and Greg won her over with no effort.
To be honest, if I was Pearl, I would have been salty as well.
But anyways, years passed and surprise surprise: Rose was pregnant.
Let me repeat that: Rose was PREGNANT.
WITH A HALF-HUMAN BABY.
It was no surprise that all of us were not so pleased with the news. I was just left dumbfounded, while I'm pretty sure Garnet was struggling to find some words. And Pearl...ohhohohohoho, you should've seen Pearl.
She was freaking PISSED at her and Greg.
They ended up getting in this argument, but that's all I know considering I took no part in it. In the end though, she ended up accepting Rose's decision. But she was not done with Greg. She blamed HIM for Rose, who was about to leave. (Overdramatic of her, I know.) Apparently a gem can't exist with her hybrid baby at the same time or whatever. I dunno. Even Pearl doesn't know how that works. But anyways, it was only a couple hours until it all began. Steven was going to be in this world and Rose was going to disappear.
We were all crying that day. Greg was crying, I was crying, Pearl was just a mess, even the brave Garnet was crying. And I don't blame her. Rose was with us for so long, and just like that, she was going to disappear. So of course we were going to be sad.
It was in the middle of winter, and it was only a matter of time before it happens. Everyone said their goodbyes to Rose. She made all of us promise her that we will protect the Earth along with her child. Garnet said goodbye to her first. Pearl said goodbye to her second. Greg said goodbye to her last. You're probably asking "Amethyst, what about you?" Well that's the thing.
I didn't say goodbye.
I just ran out. Out of the house and across the beach as soon as I saw Rose's gem glowing. I ran like a complete coward while Garnet was calling me to come back. I knew it was time, and I didn't want to stick around for it.
I just wanted to run away and never come back here. I wanted to be alone for the rest of my life. Those flashbacks of Rose... When she saved me from that Kindergarten, when she taught me how to fight, when she made me feel like I was something... They were all beginning to fade away as I saw the bright light grow brighter, followed by Rose screaming.
It was possibly the most painful scream I'd ever heard.
I ran faster and faster as I heard her screams beginning to be replaced with what sounded like a baby crying.
I was just done at that point. I wanted someone to make that pain in my imaginary heart go away. I wanted to be shattered, whatever it takes...
I just wanted all of this to stop.
