A/N: Hello to all, I am back with the next installment of this story. Here; we focus on the Fryman family, return to the battle and bit and focus on Pearl.

Disclaimer: I don't own Steven Universe

It was a sunny and beautiful day in Beach City. While most people where busy enjoying the beautiful (mostly to continue the rebuilding) but, this as not the case for Peedee Fryman. Peedee was lying in his bed with the lights out and the blinds drawn. He would avoid his family. There came a knock on the door and the door opened.

"Hey son." said Mr. Fryman concerned.

Peedee was facing away from the door.

"Hi dad." replied Peedee flatly.

"Can, you look at me please." requested Mr Fryman.

Peedee sighed and rolled over.

"How are you doing?" asked Mr. Fryman.

"Meh." answered Peedee.

"Can...I get you anything?" asked Mr. Fryman.

"No." answered Peedee.

Mr. Fryman sat down next to Peedee on the bed.

"What's wrong?" asked Mr. Fryman worried.

"I am so sick of it." answered Peedee.

"Sick of what?" asked Mr. Fryman.

Before Peedee could answer, Ronaldo opened the door.

"Dad, where is the good camera?" asked Ronaldo.

Mr. Fryan let out a sigh

"Not now." answered Mr. Fryman.

"I need a better camera for my blog." whined Ronaldo.

"I am talking to Peedee!" snapped Mr. Fryman.

"I will go when I get the camera!" cried Ronaldo.

"You don't need the camera!" cried Mr. Fryman.

Mr. Fryman jumped to his feet.

"Yes I do!" exclaimed Ronaldo.

Peedee let out an anguished cry.

"What's wrong?" asked Mr. Fryman.

"It you two!" answered Peedee angrily.

"What do you mean?" asked Ronaldo.

"The reason I am upset is because of you." answered Peedee angrily.

"What did we do?" asked Ronaldo, offended.

"You've constantly argued." answered Peedee bitterly.

"We have been at each others throats since this whole ordeal." noted Mr. Fryman worried.

"Ever before this!" spat Peedee.

Mr. Fryman and Ronaldo shared a guilty look.

"It's been going on for years." said Peedee sadly.

"Peedee..." began Mr. Fryman.

"Forget it." said Peedee bitterly.

"Peedee..." began Ronaldo.

"I said forget it!" cried Peedee.

Peedee rolled over turning his back to the door.

"Just go." said Peedee flatly.

"Please, talk to us." said Mr. Fryman.

"Wow." gasped Ronaldo.

"Leave!" cried Peedee.

Mr. Fryman and Ronald stepped back.

"Maybe we should go." suggested Ronaldo.

"I don't want to leave him." said Mr. Fryman.

"I think we might be making this worse." shrugged Ronaldo.

"Okay." relented Mr. Fryman.

The two left and Mr. Fryman closed the door.

"Goodbye Peedee." said Mr. Fryman worried.

The battle raged on in Beach City. Pearl and Stevonnie fought back - to - back to so they could not be attacked from behind. Several of the Onyx soldiers continued attacking multiple times, but Stevonnie and Pearl managed to block them. The Onyx soldiers where clearly getting more and more frustrated as the fighting continued.

"You're doing great Stevonnie." said Pearl.

"Thanks." replied the fusion.

Two Onyx soldiers swung their swords at Stevonnie.

"Ahh!" cried the Onyx.

The Onyx swung their swords, but Stevonnie blocked one with their own sword and the other with their shield.

"To slow." said Stevonnie.

Stevonie shoved one of the Onyx away with their shield then pulled their sword away.

"Got you!" cried the Onyx.

The Onyx raised its sword, but Stevonnie destroyed its physical form with their sword.

"You'll pay for that!" cried the other Onyx.

The Onyx charged, but it was reckless so Stevonnie destroyed its physical form with their shield. Stevonnie bubbled their gems and sent them to the Burning Room.

Meanwhile, Pearl was using her spear to block the attacks from a trio of Onyx.

"You doll!" cried one of the Onyx.

The Onyx swung her sword, but Pearl again blocked it. However, Pearl then spun her spear knocking the sword away.

"How?!" exclaimed the Onyx.

Pearl turned her spear and destroyed the physical form of the Onyx.

"Which one of you is next?" asked Pearl.

The Onyx attacked together and swung their swords. However, Pearl swung her spear around like a fan knocking the swords out of their hands.

"No!" cried the Onyx in unison.

Pearl thrust forward and destroyed the physical forms of the two Onyx. Pearl quickly bubbled the gems and sent them to the Burning Room.

"Whose next?" asked Pearl.

Two more Onyx attacked, but Pearl easily destroyed their physical forms with her spear. She then bubbled their gems and sent them to the Burning Room.

The Onyx soldiers shared glances.

"I'm waiting." said Pearl.

Several more Onyx soldiers attacked, but Pearl easily destroyed their physical forms. She bubbled their gems and sent them to the Burning Room.

"Charge!" cried an Onyx.

Multiple Onyx attacked, but Pearl destroyed their physical forms. She then bubbled their gems and sent them to the Burning Room.

"Damn." growled an Onyx.

A few more Onyx attacked, but again Pearl destroyed their physical forms and sent them to the Burning Room.

"We're really cutting through them." noted Pearl pleased.

Another wave of Onyx attacked, but Pearl spun like a ballerina and destroyed their physical forms. Pearl then bubbled their gems an sent them to the Burning Room.

"We're getting killed." said an Onyx worried.

"What do we do?" asked another Onyx.

"Attack me." answered Pearl.

Several Onyx took the bait and attacked. Pearl again destroyed their physical forms, bubbled their gems and sent them to the Burning Room.

"Next." said Pearl

"How are we being beaten by a Pearl?!" asked one of the Onyx angrily.

"I am the Renegade Pearl that fought alongside Rose Quartz five thousand years ago!" declared Pearl.

The Onyx where stunned and murmured among themselves.

"That explains it." noted one of the Onyx.

Little did they know, another gem overheard this.

"Let's go." said Pearl.

Pearl charged, but was blindsided.

"Well, we have celebrities." said the Jasper.

The Jasper turned back to the Condor Agate.

"Keep the freak busy while I put this Pearl in her place!" ordered the Jasper.

"I am not going down easy." said Pearl.

"Perfect." replied the Jasper.

Pearl paced nervously on the deck of the temple. Finally, the familiar motorcycle arrived with Sheena on it. Pearl climbed onto the back and held Sheena tightly. Sheena took off and they drove back to Sheena's residence. Once they arrived, Sheena parked the motorcycle and they went inside. They again sat the kitchen table.

"How are you doing?" asked Sheena.

Pearl let out an exasperated sigh.

"Troubled." answered Pearl.

"What's wrong?" asked Sheena worried.

"It's Steven." answered Pearl.

Pearl bit her lower lip.

"He's really not doing well." confessed Pearl.

"You're his mother..." began Sheena.

Pearl let out a chuckle before Sheena could finish.

"Actually, his mother was named Rose." said Pearl.

"So...you're an aunt to him." said Sheena confused.

"I am not sure." replied Pear, heavyhearted.

Pearl took a moment.

"His mother passed away." said Pearl.

"I'm so sorry." replied Sheena sincerely.

"Thank you. She asked us to raise Steven and we are." said Pearl.

"Where you close?" asked Sheena.

"She was everything to me." answered Pearl.

"You loved her." noted Sheena.

"She cared about me a lot, but someone else one her heart." explained Pearl.

"Steven's father." guessed Sheena.

Pearl nodded her head in affirmation.

"Yes. I had a rocky relationship with Greg - that's his name - for while, but we've improved." said Pearl.

"I think she'd be proud of you. You've done a damn good job raising Steven." said Sheena.

"If that was true, Steven wouldn't be in the situation." said Pearl guiltily.

"What happened?" asked Sheena.

"It's a long story." answered Pearl.

"Give me the abridged version." replied Sheena.

"Our home planet learned we still exist and attacked us. We fought a brutal battle and its taken a toll on Steven." said Pearl.

"Okay." said Pearl, not believing this.

"Sheena, remember how I told you I was an intergalactic fugitive who fought for Earth's independence thousands of years ago?" asked Pearl.

"Yeah." answered Sheena.

"That was not a joke. I meant every word of it." replied Pearl.

Sheena was clearly surprised by this.

"You can understand if I am skeptical." said Sheena.

Pearl thought for a moment. She then reached up and pulled her spear out of her gem.

"Does this help?" asked Pearl.

Sheena was left speechless. Pearl then returned her spear to her gem.

"I'm dating a six thousand year old alien." said Sheena freaked out.

"I understand if you don't want to see me again." said Pearl softly.

"Of course I want to. I still love you...I just need time to wrap my head around this." said Sheena.

"I understand." sighed Pearl.

Pearl rubbed her face.

"You want to know what I think?" asked Sheena.

"Yes." answered Pearl.

"I think you should go home." said Sheena.

"I see." said Pearl sadly.

"Whoa! I did not mean it like that!" cried Sheena.

"Huh?" asked Pearl confused.

"I meant go and be there for him." said Sheena.

"Thank you." replied Pearl.

The two lovers kissed then departed. They rod back on Sheena's motorcycle and returned to the temple. Sheena dropped Pearl off and they left. Pearl waved and watched Sheena leave. It was only once Sheena was gone that Pearl went inside. Pearl found nobody else except for her and Steven. Pearl walked up the steps looking at the picture of Rose Quartz as she did. Pearl then knelt down next to Steven.

"Hello Steven." said Pearl softly.

Steven did not answer.

"I understand you're not in a good place right." continued Pearl.

Steven remained silent.

"Humans are not made for battle. The experience of war is difficult for anyone." said Pearl.

Steven stayed silent again.

Pearl let out a sigh.

"I don't need you to reply." said Pearl.

Steven remained silent.

"I will be here if you ever need to talk." said Pearl.

Pearl got up and began heading down the stairs.

"Thank you Pearl." said Steven.

Pearl stopped for a moment and stopped.

A/N: That is where we'll end things here. I loved it when Pearl is motherly and her relationship with Steven. Next time, we return to Mayor Dewey and Steven. Please review.
