Hey everyone, guess what... This story got over 200 views! yes I appreciate small goals as much as big ones.

"Peridot, can you explain your involvement with them?" Questioned Pearl as Peridot began to blush.

"Please, allow me to explain. It all started many Earth revolutions ago..." Began Aqua while still tied up by Amethyst's whip.

~FLASHBACK: HOMEWORLD: SECTOR 735B: PRISON NO.49~

"I can't believe I'm on prison check-up duty." Complained Peridot as she stomped through the halls of the prison with her screen up as she looked back and fourth from the cells to her screen, calling prisoners' numbers and checking off their respective numbers.

"...And prisoner number 380,572." Finalized Peridot as she looked to the prisoner with pity. He was slightly taller than Peridot (with her limb enhancers) and his skin was light blue, lighter than his clothes; He wore a long sleeve shirt that widened a little bit towards wrists and had a large yellow diamond on the front. The diamond had lines that pointed clockwise coming from all four points. His pants were the darkest part of his outfit but still blue. He wears boots with lines that made arrows pointing at the toes.

He simply sat against the wall before he looked up at Peridot and his eyes opened wide. He got up and walked to the field separating them and spoke.

"Well hi there, don't you look nice, I'm Aqua." He complemented in a flattering way while introducing himself.

"Uhh... thank you, but I can't interact with prisoners." she said as she leaned back and started to blush, trying to avoid the conversation. She never felt the need for relations but something about him made her... feel different about what she thought.

"You're right, enough sweet talk, I have something important to let you know about."

"What?" Asked Peridot.

"I have no reason to be here and I'm sure neither do you. If you help me and my friend out, you can come with us." She stopped to think for a moment and soon responded.

"You're defective, you have to be here." She answered.

"But we're gems like everyone else! We don't care what anyone else thinks of us!"

"But others will."

"Then I guess we'll just rot here, all three of us!"

She looked at him with his trusting eyes, and responded.

"I have a job to do, I can't help you... but good luck out there." She walked away and later the field of his cell disappeared.

He looked down and closed his eyes as he teared up.

"Thank you." He said before he ran down the hall.

"I'll regret that later." Said Peridot to herself as she saw him running down the hall through the camera system.

Hey guys, sorry for being a day late but here it is.

SPOILER ALERT!

My next chapter will be a little away from the main story, also it's something I'm doing for Halloween c-ya next week ;)
