Chapter 3: Experiences

Blue Pearl has been pacing around the cell for who knows how long since the other Pearl had left. Being here. Doing nothing is driving her nuts. She doesn't want to do nothing. Because doing nothing means she is thinking and she doesn't want to think. She doesn't want to think. She'll only think about what she did and what she did….to her.

" Don't think. Don't think." She says in her head. But saying don't think makes her think. It does nothing but the opposite.

She start hyperventilating as the memories start flooding back to her without anything to stop it. Everything flashing over. Over and over and over again.

She walks over to a wall and hits her head against it. It hurts, but it stops her thinking for one second. One second of relief before the memories come back. She does it again. This time harder. The memories don't come back longer.

" Stay out. Stay out!" She screams in her head as starts to repeatedly bang her head harder against the wall. The more time she does it, the more times it will not be there to torment her.

The door of her prison door flies open and footsteps rush over to her. She is taken by surprise when she suddenly yanked away from the wall.

She starts letting out a muffled scream and struggles to get out of the strong gem's arms. Only this time, it was in anger. Why are they doing this to her?! Why can't they just leave her alone?!

She is suddenly thrown on to the bed and she is faced with a gem that looks like a version of a Ruby if it weren't for the fact that she's much bigger, has a cyan color scheme and has visors over her eyes. She eyes the two gems on her hands and figures out that she's a fusion. Which freaks her out even more.

" No. Stop it. Stop it!" She yells at Blue Pearl as she grabs her flinging arms and forces them on to the bed.

Blue Pearl growls and she continues to struggle against the gem. She doesn't make out what the gem says next. She just wants to forget. She wants to forget what she did.

The Amethyst comes in with rope and the gems ties her wrists and ankles to the bed as she struggles with all of her might. Although she's not at all strong compared to them.

" We'll untie you when you calm down." The Fusion says taking a breath as Blue Pearl continues to grunt, whine, and bang her head against the bed as they leave and shut the door. Unfortunately the bed is much softer and doesn't create the pain she needs.

She just wants to forget. Can't anyone understand? She just wants to forget.


" You tied her to the bed?!" Pearl says in outrage to Garnet.

" She was hitting herself against the wall and becoming violent. It was my only option." Garnet says justifying the decision.

" Pearl. I was there. She was really hurting herself really bad in there." Amethyst defends Garnet's decision.

" Well thanks to you we might have lost all progress with her. If we had any at all!" Pearl nearly shouts. Which surprises her. Why is she suddenly becoming attached to this Pearl she has only know for a little bit.

" We might have to bubble her." Garnet says. " She's becoming unpredictable and it's becoming impossible to know what she might try next."

" You said not too long ago that you don't want to bubble her." Pearl says the very thing.

" Yes. I did. I also didn't know she was going to do this to herself. We don't know what's she's capable of and we don't know how she'll react around others. Especially Steven." Garnet says

" But the only thing she's a danger to is herself." Pearl says. " Putting her in a bubble will do nothing but delay the problem for later. I don't know the best way to help her, but I know that this is not the solution."

" Well do you have a plan that doesn't involve her not hitting herself and us not having to tie her up?" Amethyst says.

" Well. Nothing seems to come to mind." Pearl says. " But…. We shouldn't resort to the bubble. At least not yet. I just need to be able to establish some form of communication with her. Hopefully in the attempts that we can help her."

" Look. We might be no good around her, but you still might have a chance." Garnet says. " Hopefully her feelings for you haven't changed after what's happened."

" I hope." Pearl says thinking about the other Pearl.


Pearl comes up to the cell door feeling really complexed about the gem on the other side. It's not like she doesn't care about the poor gem. She's a fellow Pearl. She always had a soft spot for them because she knew what it was like to be in their shoes. But she seems to keep on taking responsibilities she never wanted to have in the first place. She didn't want to look after another gem. Even if she was another Pearl.

She sighs as she opens the door to find the Pearl finally calm down and just lying still on the bed facing the ceiling.

" Blue Pearl." She says. The Pearl shifts her head to face her. Even though her eyes are covered by her hair, she knows she's looking at her.

" Look. I'm sorry for earlier. We just didn't want you getting hurt. And I understand you're mad about it, but what other choice did we have? Letting you destroy your form on your own?" She says in frustration.

The Blue Pearl turns her head away from her in shame.

She continues as sits on the bed beside her, " Look. I don't even know first thing about you. You can't even talk. You most likely you can't write. I don't how I'm going to work with you. I don't even know what to do with you."

Pearl then surveys the area and takes note of how small this place feels. It really feels like a prison. Even though it is, it feels maddening for Pearl to even be in here for a few minutes. Let alone the amount of time Blue Pearl has been in. It's then that Pearl realizes what this gem needs.

" Alright then." Pearl says in frustration as she starts to untie the gem. " You know what? Here's what's going to happen. I'm going to untie you. We are leaving this cell and getting you some fresh air. Because being in this cell for as long as you would drive me insane and I think that's what going on with you. But you have to be cooperative. I don't want hurting yourself or anyone around you. And I don't want you to leave my side for a second until we get back. Do I make myself clear?"

Blue nods as Pearl unites the last binds and helps her sit up on the bed.

" Good. Follow me." Pearl says as she helps her out of the bed and leads the fellow Pearl out of the cell.

Blue follows her down a crystal hallway without being more than five feet away from her and it wasn't long until they went through a strange door into another strange place of its own kind. Made out strange materials that creek under her every step.

" This is Steven's room." Pearl explains as she continues walking through the place while Blue Pearl surveys the area a bit. " We'll come back here later. Right now we're going outside to meet with the others."

When they go through another door, Blue Pearl is suddenly blinded by heavy amounts of light. It takes her a bit before her eyes adjust to be able survey the area of this Earth.

Something about it seems peaceful to Blue Pearl. Water lapping the ground in a strange pattern. The sounds of a warm breeze and the water is all comforting to her. Which in a way, settles the nerves she has been having from the start.

She follows the other Pearl down the steps and suddenly jolts her foot away from what is at the bottom of the steps. It was the same strange soft material that she came across when the ship crashed.

She gingerly tries again lets her one bare foot embrace the soft warm ground before she does the same with the other. This is all new to her. Her feet had only known the cold, hard surface of Homeworld. She has never felt something like this and she doesn't know if she wants to get off of it or embrace it.

" Blue Pearl!" The other Pear catches her attention from a distance. " Come on!"

She looks at the Pearl before turning her attention back onto strange ground before making another step.


Two chapters in one day. I know I said a few days later, but I have been sick all day today. I had nothing to do other than write up the chapters. So I guess this is a nice treat for you guys Anyway I hope you guys like it.

I decided to extend the story to maybe about ten instead of five. Mostly because the material I want to get in exceeded the five chapter limit I set up. But I promise, It will be done before my summer is up.

Tell me what you think.
