Homeworld was so much, but her colony was too. It never ceased to astound Pink Diamond. So many things happened at every moment, but unlike Homeworld, it wasn't uniform and expected. It was the complete opposite.
"Pearl?" Her pearl looked at her.
"Yes, My Diamond?"
"I wish to see more of Earth." Pink Diamond said formally. Her excited smile ruined the façade. It faded when her pearl didn't smile, instead turning and going down the steps.
The walls were bare. Her pearl laid a hand on the observation orb, her sharp gaze turned toward Pink Diamond. "My Diamond?"
What did she want to see today? "Somewhere with water." The walls lit up with a dizzying array of colors for a moment, then stopped. Pink Diamond gasped.
It was so different. It was surrounded by a dirt wall, good for a Kindergarten. But there was so much water, more than she ever saw on Homeworld. Curious little organics swam and flew and crawled. Pink crouched. She wanted to know about it all.
"This is a pond. There is only a small amount of water here, but several types of organics, called fauna and flora, different from the bipedals, live here." The words registered faintly in the back of Pink's mind.
Green circular things floated on top of the water (those are lilypads, a type of flora, My Diamond). White things (lilies) grew on top of them, and little green things (frogs, fauna) jumped from one onto the other. Tiny things (dragonflies) flitted on top of the water. The water itself was so many different colors, the green of the lilypads but blue too, white at the shore and she was falling, falling so much deeper in love with Earth and what was she going to tell Yellow and Blue and White?
