Like every day, it was sunny and the sun was high in the sky. The waves were peaceful and the seagulls were squawking outside. Not a single cloud in sight as some people were swimming and there were a few boats out in the water. Even with it sunny, all the Gems of the team were inside relaxing with their lovers.
Steven, Lapis and Blue Pearl were watching a funny TV show. Pearl, Yellow Pearl and Onyx were in the living room having a deep, meaningful conversation with each other. Jewel and Peridot were laying on the couch, sleeping in each other's arms with smiles on their faces. Garnet was leaning against the wall looking out the window at the seagulls flying around with a content smile on her face. Soren, Amethyst and Pink Pearl were snacking on regular Chaps.
"Hey, Soren. Amethyst?"
"Yea?" they answered together.
"Does the beach house ever make you remember the day when you two saved me and got me to be part of the team?" Pink Pearl asked with a smile.
They both nodded and smiled.
"It does, yea… Every day… It was the start of the best days of our lives together," Soren said laying a head on her shoulder.
They all started to remember that day so well.

Peridot had just joined the Crystal Gems with the help of Jewel. Peridot didn't go down easy but after her defeat she was ok with joining them. Soren had the task of taking Peridot's ship pieces into the Temple into Garnet's room. It honestly didn't take more than ten minutes and he was proud that had finished so fast. He smiled and headed for the exit of Garnet's room when something caught his eye.
"I finished everything but what's that?" he said, practically a whisper.
It was a pinkish gem in a light blue bubble. He walked up, wanting to get a closer look at it. Soren jumped and grabbed the bubble to look at closely.
"Wait- is this… is this who I think this is? Is this-
Pop!
Oh no!he thought, as he tried to catch the gem before it hit the floor but it didn't.
An inch off the floor it started to glow brightly. The gem was a pearl, a pink pearl. She had formed completely and she looked up to see Soren staring down at her.
"Wow, it is her. It's been many years since I last saw her."
"Oh no! It's you!" she cried looking fearful and angry.
Pink Pearl summoned her pink spear from her pearl on her belly with her arm shaking slightly.
"You're one of those rebels who helped shatter my Diamond!" she cried, shaking.
The door behind him opened up to reveal everyone except Amethyst, Jewel and Peridot.
"Why is she out Soren? She was bubbled up-
Pink Pearl pushed past them and escape through the door leaving the Crystal Gems stunned.

Amethyst was laying in the living room laying down on the couch thinking about what she would do for the day. She had just finished a bag of Chaps. She flipped her lilac colored hair out of her face when the door to the Temple opened up. Amethyst barely glanced at her then realized she was had escaped the bubble. She jumped up as the others came through.
Pink Pearl ran outside to the water's edge when Amethyst's whip wrapped around her legs. She looked back afraid as Amethyst came up on her quickly with the others behind her. Amethyst felt bad because she looked more afraid than anything else and it wasn't her fault that she felt the way she did. Soren jumped in front of them from getting too close to the scared little pearl.
"Listen! There's no reason to gang up on her like this! It was my fault- I accidently popped her bubble! She's really not that bad. She's just scared!"
Pearl stared at him, "She tried to run-
"We all did!"
Pearl nodded, "Ok, then. I trust your judgement."
"Thank you Pearl. If anything, Amethyst and I can watch over her for the time being if that makes you feel better."
"I think that is a splendid idea," Garnet said placing a hand on Pearl's shoulder with a smile.
Pink Pearl stared at Soren in amazement.
"I'm down for that!" Amethyst said walking up to her with a smile.
"Yea! Just like I'm doing for Peridot!" Jewel said taking her mother's hand.
"We tell her how great this place is and we can become friends. She can see everything for herself. Anyways, the more Crystal Gems, the better!" the short purple gem said putting an arm around Pink Pearl's waist.
"Ok, it's decided then. We don't have any missions for today so I think that's fine," Pearl said with a small smile.

Sometime later, Pink Pearl walking around the inside of the beach house inspecting every inch of it. She was so fascinated by all the Earth things. She didn't mind one bit that Soren and Amethyst were watching her the whole time. Pearl would occasionally walk in and check up on everything but it would be the same. Pink Pearl would check something out while Soren and Amethyst ate a snack.
"Hey Pearl."
Pearl turned, "Yes, Soren?"
"Where did Jewel and Peridot go?"
"I believe they went into town."
"You think we should take her there?"
Amethyst finished off her bag of chips and licked her fingers, "Yea, that sounds great! We haven't been out in a while and I think it would be fun!"
"Want to go into town Pink Pearl?" Soren asked and she stared at him.
Pink Pearl wasn't sure how to think about anything. They had destroyed her Diamond and here she was staying with them now. She felt like it was wrong to do but what other choice did she have in the matter? She looked over at Pearl who smiled at her more genuinely this time and she couldn't help but smile back.
"What is a town?" Pink Pearl asked.
They all headed outside into the sun and Pink Pearl shielded her eyes. It was bright, something she wasn't quite used too yet. She could see some humans as they made it closer to the town that Amethyst had described to her. It was all kinds of different colors and so many Earth words. There were small humans, tall ones and wide ones. It was so odd to her.
"Why are some of them smaller than the others?" Pink Pearl asked pointing at the children.
"Those are kids. Humans start out as small, helpless babies and grow up into adults," Soren explained.
"Oh."
"So, what should we try first?" Amethyst asked smiling brightly.
"I don't understand."
The couple looked at her.
"Which part?" Soren asked.
"Why is this planet so special to all of you?" Pink Pearl asked.
Amethyst looked at Soren then at Pink Pearl, "I am different from both of you but I was born here. This is my planet."
Pink Pearl looked surprised.
"You were pretty upset when you lost Pink Diamond right? Can you imagine losing Homeworld too?"
She gasped, "Is that what you're trying to do?!"
"Not at all. Amethyst is saying she wouldn't want her planet taken away like you wouldn't want Homeworld destroyed. I honestly wouldn't want it destroyed either but I don't want them destroying the home of the person I love."
I never thought of it that way.
"Wow. I had no idea Amethyst. Thank you."
The purple gem smiled at her, "No problem."
Amethyst pulled them through town to try all kinds of different food. Amethyst had to explain how to eat food but making "other parts" to do it. Pink Pearl had no problem shapeshifting the parts and she loved all the food Amethyst would show her. Humans were such strange creatures but they were interesting in what they created. It was a whole different world than Homeworld.
Pink Pearl thought it extremely interesting watching Amethyst show Soren things that he had never experienced before. She watched smiling as Soren tried out a ping pong machine or a new kind of shake. Even though the Crystal Gems had destroyed her Diamond, they weren't bad gems. She really liked Amethyst and Soren a lot.
After a while they reached Funland Arcade. Pink Pearl enjoyed the games and watching Amethyst play with Soren. They seemed so in tune with each other. No one ever saw that kind of thing in Homeworld. Pink Pearl crossed her arms watching them with a smile on her face.
"I think she's enjoying everything," Amethyst said sneaking peeks at Pink Pearl.
"I think she is too. Let's go watch a movie and then head to our special place."
They ended up watching a romance movie at the movie theater. Pink Pearl was so fascinated by the giant screen and the loud sounds coming out of the speakers on the sides. Amethyst explained to them both about how they played the movies. The movie played for about two hours and it was over.
"Did you like it?" Soren asked and Pink Pearl turned to them with a nod and some tears in her eyes.
"Are you ok?" Amethyst asked and she nodded again.
"I like movies," she answered with a smile.
They spent the next couple of hours walking through Beach City, through the woods and through some hills. Finally, they reached some tall mountains. The sky was starting to turn dark blue with some of the brightest stars peeking out. The horizon showed yellow and orange colors as the sun continued to disappear. It was so beautiful.
"Well, we took a really long walk. Here we are," Amethyst said tiredly but she was smiling.
The wind started to blow lightly and leaves started blowing in the breeze.
"What is this?" Pink Pearl asked in awe.
"We are in the mountains. This isn't even the highest one though. There's no warp pad otherwise we would have taken one," Soren said.
"This is one of the many reasons why I love Earth. I love my home," Amethyst said.
I can see why.
"We would just like you to trust us."
She smiled at them and nodded, "I trust you."
They stood there for a short while staring, at the dark sky covered in bright stars of all kinds.
"I see why you love it here."
Amethyst and Soren looked at each other with a smile.
"This place is so amazing. Will you bring me here more often please?" Pink Pearl asked turning towards them.
"As often as we can," he asked.
They went home walking the same way they came. Pink Pearl took in everything about her surroundings. It was better than before. There were smells she never noticed. Small details about the flowers and animals around her. They reached the beach house the Crystal Gems lived in finally and she took in another deep breath.
Home.

The three of them walked through the door. Everyone was busy doing things with each other. There was no one barking orders or calling for someone to get punished. She never had to fight against her will or be someone's little trophy piece ever again. She was her own gem. She had new friends and she was ready to stay but she still missed Homeworld a bit.
"Do you understand why we stay and protect the Earth?" Pearl asked softly.
Pink Pearl smiled up at her, "I think I do."
Pearl moved to the side and Pink Pearl walked in. She felt like she had someplace she finally belonged in and it felt great.
"Hey, we can watch some videos so you learn some more about what it's like on Earth if you want?" Amethyst suggested with a grin.
"That sounds lovely."

They sat there with smiles on their faces.
"That is something we would never forget. That's how we all became close from everything we did together. Then shortly after that we all started dating," Soren said.
Pink Pearl smiled, "Yea, you took me to the mountains and asked. That was so perfect."
Amethyst blushed, "Maybe we should revisit sometime. It has been a while."
"How does it sound going to our room in the Temple and have some fun for the moment?" Soren asked with a smile and a wink at the girls.
They giggled and nodded with blushing faces.
The Temple Door opened and they headed inside. The door shut behind them and they headed for their king-sized bed. Amethyst phased off her clothes first then Pink Pearl and then Soren followed suit. They climbed onto the bed together. Pink Pearl laid down first and Amethyst crawled onto her left side with Soren on her right.
Soren started kissing Pink Pearl's neck slowly with Amethyst kissing her lips. It was almost like her first time with the couple after she had decided to stay on Earth. Their caring touches stayed the same just like the first night. Over Pink Pearl's face, Soren and Amethyst started kissing passionately.
Pink Pearl started stroking Soren's manhood and slid a finger inside of Amethyst. The couple moaned in the surprise pleasure that Pink Pearl gave them. They stopped kissing each other and Soren went to kissing Pink Pearl. Amethyst crawled down in between her legs and started licking her wetness. Soren pulled away and went behind Amethyst.
She slid her fingers into Amethyst's wild mane of hair and tugged lightly making a moan escape the purple gem's lips. Soren slid inside of her next making Amethyst shiver with excitement. The love between the three of them was strong enough to make every night they were together in that bed magical. Pink Pearl was close to the edge, she couldn't help it but arch her back and cry out.
"I'm ready Amethyst…" Soren whispered in a sexy voice.
She cried Soren's name and he moaned loudly from his orgasm. They fell onto the bed together with happy smiles.
"Goodnight girls," Soren said and the girl whispered goodnights back.
He pulled the large comforter over them and they all fell asleep.
