HEY! I'm back! So yeah. I have a poll on my profile so if you want to check that out feel free. Other then that I really have nothing to say other then if you see any mistakes let me know. Well, enjoy!

Edit 2/3/17. I fixed some grammar stuff, so now it should sound better.

"Maybe."

Everyone was quiet, then Garnet and Ruby burst into laugher. Sapphire just smiles. Pearl starts to giggle. "Well how about we eat that cake?" Pearls asks.

Still smiling Sapphire gets up to cut the cake. "It's good to see you again Pearl. I still remember the times when Garnet and you were little, how you used to always cling to her." pausing to place a piece of cake onto a paper place she was holding. "You two were inseparable. With all of your playdates and sleepovers."

"Mum, please." Garnet groaned.

"Then the day you meet Rose changed that." Sapphire handed the slice of cake to Ruby who gave it to her daughter. "Garnet became quite that day. You may not remember, but Garnet used to talk almost all the time." Sapphire handed another slice to Ruby who again handed it to Garnet, who gave it to Pearl. "That was the day I knew." Sapphire gave Ruby her slice of cake then sat down with her own before continuing. "She fell. Hard. She fell for you."

"Mum, please stop." said Garnet looking down at her partly eaten cake slice.

"I will only stop when I'm done with my little story." replied Sapphire with a rare grin.

"Mom, make her stop."

"Well, you stop if I ask nicely Sapphire?" Ruby asked, already knowing the answer.

"Hmm, no."

"There you go, I tried," said Ruby with her hands in a surrender. Pearl watched not really knowing what's going on. "Um, am I missing something here?" Pearl asked.

"YES! You're missing the fact that Garnet has loved you forever! Why do you think she saved you from Jasper that day?!" yelled Ruby.

"..." Pearl couldn't believe it. Did Garnet really care about Pearl even BEFORE they meet? They were only kids back then. How can someone care so much about a person before even talking to them?

"If you're asking yourself 'why didn't it she just talk to me before hand?' it's because she was scared."

"MOM!"

"Oh, you know it's true don't even try to hide from it. You were scared of a girl who at the time mind you looked like a stick." said Ruby.

"Okay, even I find that insulting." said Pearl frowning.

"But am I wrong?" asked Ruby staring into the younger woman's eyes.

"No." Pearl said quietly looking at the uneaten slice of cake, then she took a bite.

"Ruby, you maybe right but you're one to talk. We're both shorter than the average woman." year said Sapphire putting a hand on the said woman's shoulder.

"And how many years's have people called you short or shorty? AND you were okay with it?" Ruby shot back.

"I've been okay with it since we meet." Ruby was speechless. "And do believe you would call that a burn." Ruby grinned; she knows where this was going.

"Then if I've been burned can I have a hug?"

"Why?"

"Because there is no better way to treat a burn is with ice." Garnet face palmed. Soon followed by Pearl. Then the two sighed. Pearl looked the time. 9:45 pm. Has it already been over 3 hours? Garnet saw Pearl look at the time, oh it's been that long heh. "Well mom, mum, it's been great seeing you again and thank you for the cake but I really must be going, I work in the morning and so does Pearl."

Sapphire looked away from Ruby, then smiled. "Yes, it is getting late. Come on Ruby, we must let them live their lives."

"I don't wanna go." Ruby waned.

"Fine by me, that means no kisses and cuddles, though." said Sapphire knowing that would break her wife. Ruby was up and ready to go before anyone could say anything she grabbed Sapphire's hand and started into her eye. "You wouldn't!"

"I can and I will. Now, let's go, if you're ready." with that Sapphire, kissed Ruby's cheek then went to hug Pearl and Garnet good bye. That's when Ruby realized something. "Wait, who's apartment is this?" Garnet looked at Pearl, "Well ?" sighing Pearl said, "It's mine, Garnet lives right next door." Pearl point to her right.

"I TOLD YOU THAT WAS GARNET'S APARTMENT!" yelled Ruby to Sapphire. Sapphire turned her head to look Ruby in the eye "And why do you think Garnet's in Pearl's apartment and not her own then?" At that Ruby did not have an answer. But she didn't have to Sapphire already knows why. "They were on a date." Pearl looks away her cheeks turning red.

"Alright, mum." said Garnet starting to push the two older women to the door. "I think it's time for you two to go home." Garnet paused to open the door. "I love you, bye." and with that Garnet pushed them out the door and into the hallway.

Turning around Garnet sees Pearl sitting on the couch with her face in her hands. "Are they gone now?"

"Yep."

"I'm going to clean then." getting up Pearl grabbed the used paper plates and put then in the trash, walking back Pearl took the used napkins then threw them away with the plates.

There was something about watching Pearl clean. Garnet just, liked seeing her doing anything really. Looking at the time Garnet grabbed her things, really it was just the leftovers from the cake. "Well, it's getting late. I'm going to go. See you later?" Pearl looked up from her work before answering. "Hm? Oh, yes, of course. Just um, holler if you need me." said Pearl.

"Ha ha, well alright, see you later then, bye." with that Garnet left Pearl in her own apartment.

Pearl looked around the room thinking. "That, took a turn I didn't see coming." said Pearl thinking out loud. "Wait. It's Garnet's birthday?!" Pearl ran to her calendar to see that it was true. July, 5th. That day Garnet was born. "How could I forget something like that?" sighing Pearl grabbed her cloths and when to take a shower. I hope Garnet had a good time. Why do I have to be do messed up! How could I forget a friend's BIRTHDAY! I'm just a broken girl who thought she could change the world. Now, look at me! Scars. All I got are scars and there never going to go away. Turning off the water Pearl got changed, brushed her teeth then went to bed. Garnet doesn't need Pearl. No one has. No one wants to be with her. If people did, then she'd have a real family. Turning over on her side, Pearl fell into an uneasy sleep.

So, yeah. Pearl is still messed up from the war and stuff. There's going to be more on that later so don't worry too much. When? I don't know yet. Between school, homework, and anime, I don't know how much free time I have. I want to thank everyone who has reviewed, followed, and favorite this. It really means a lot to me. By the looks of things, this is the one chapter I have that is over 1,000 words without the AN. Guess who's feeling proud.

Review? Yes? No? Maybe so?
