Pearl had just rushed out of the room and Rose was standing next to the waterfalls in her room. She glanced around the room in curiosity. On one of the waterfalls was a copper frame that she assumed there was a photograph inside of. Rose rushed toward the location of the frame, lifting the photo. In the photo there was Pearl and her? She was in the photo, her arm was wrapped around Pearl's and Pearl's arm in turn around hers. Then how come she didn't remember it? How come she didn't remember any of these memories that Pearl and the other gems were reminding her of? What was going on? Rose fell to her knees in distress before yowling "What is going on?" Her breath shaking her speech. She stared at her hands then lifted the photo. It was her, it had to be her yet at the same time Rose was asking herself how could it be her? Rose took a deep breath then dropped the photo, the glass surrounding the photo cracked, Rose tore away at the fragments of glass and lifted out the photo. She held it close to her chest and then shed a few tears. She watched what happened next, the tears lingered on the floor of Pearl's room then suddenly, there was a hole in the floor. Pearl's room had enough power to heal the hole and fast but the image still lingered in Rose's mind. Once again she found herself yowling "What the hell is going on here?" She thought back, every time she cried someone or thing got hurt, Pearl, the floor and whomever that Steven kid was. "It's more like I have hurting tears." Rose mumbled to herself in a laugh. She glanced at the photograph again the edges were wet and bent. "I'm not Rose." she murmured to herself, "But I am Rose." Her distress and confusion led to more tears simply falling on the photograph. The photograph burned away as if acid had fallen upon it. "That's it!" Rose shouted into the air "I have acid tears!" She began to laugh malevolently her cackle ringing through the air. Rose dropped the remainder of the destroyed photograph. "I'm evil." She replied breathing in. She laughed again and threw both hands in the air. After dropping both hands Rose headed toward the exit of Pearl's room and rushed out. She stood next to the temple door for a while standing straight up holding both hands together. Her dress flowed to the floor as she refashioned her hair into her normal curls. She rubbed both hands together as she proceeded to wander the house that still remained unfamiliar. After circling the house multiple times, Rose could hear strange noises leaving the temple. She got closer to the door, Amethyst's gem stone was highlighted meaning the door to her room was not locked. Curious, Rose held her hands together as she opened the temple door. Amethyst's room was a mess as usual numerous items were stacked in towering piles that seemed to be in danger of falling. Around, beside and beneath the towers were puddles that covered the floor. Rose held up her skirt and crossed the floor skipping over the puddles. The sound came closer and closer as Rose found herself able to identify the sounds of voices. Pearl's and Amethyst's to be precise. She rounded a few corners soon finding the source. Amethyst and Pearl were next to each other kissing. Pearl's hand was pressed upon Amethyst's hair and her other hand was cupping the gem's cheek. Amethyst on the other hand had her arms and hands both running through Pearl's hair. Rose continued to watch the two gems with detail. As she watched she soon heard Pearl moan and she herself gagged. Rose put her hands on her hips before clearing her throat and asking "Is this normal for you two?"
The two gems broke apart and the first thing Pearl did was yowl "Amethyst!" As she stared at the purple gem who was blushed deep purple. Pearl herself was just as blue. "Why did you leave the door open?" Pearl yowled again at the purple gem.
"It's not my fault, I was distracted consoling you." Amethyst replied. Pearl sighed and rolled her eyes. "Excuse me." A voice replied, it was the same voice that forced the gems to break apart. It was Rose. Her curls were prominent and Pearl got stars in her eyes as she looked at the former leader. "Man, a lot has happened in the past 20 minutes." Rose replied.
"R-rose." Pearl replied blushing as she stood up, "I'm uh sorry you saw that shameful display." And with that she eyed Amethyst with a scowl.
"Hey you kissed me too." Amethyst replied as she glared back at Pearl.
Pearl cleared her throat, "So…" she replied finding herself wordless.
"I actually was going to tell you something." Rose replied as she ran her fingers through her curls.
"Yes?" Pearl asked seemingly curious for what the gem would say.
"I've figured out how my powers work." And with that Rose gave an evil laugh as she pulled her shield from her gemstone and gathered her sword thrusting it toward Pearl's slender neck as tears of happiness fell from her eyes burning away at the floor.
