The morning after their talk; Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl where enjoying a day feeling grand. They showered, got dressed and gathered for breakfast. As they ate, Pearl clanged her spoon against her cup.
"The planning for Operation Rescue has begun." said Pearl.
Amethyst an Garnet nodded their heads in agreement.
"Now, how can we help Lapis and Peridot?" asked Pearl.
"It is best if we try away from Jasper." answered Garnet.
"Jasper won't let them out of her sight." mused Pearl concerned.
"She won't let Lapis out of her sight." replied Amethyst.
"She doesn't keep Peridot close to her?" asked Pearl surprised.
"Peridot seems to have more freedom." answered Amethyst.
Garnet let out a thoughtful hum.
"She's not as worried about Peridot." deduced Garnet.
"Makes sense." shrugged Amethyst.
Amethyst took a large mouthful of food.
"There's no way Peridot can stand up to Jasper." added Amethyst.
"Peridot is much smaller than her." noted Pearl.
"She's a munchkin." joked Amethyst.
"Look who's talking." said Garnet cheeky.
Amethyst cried out.
"Ya got me there G.!" declared Amethyst.
Garnet nodded her head.
"Back to the subject at hand." began Pearl.
Amethyst and Garnet nodded in agreement.
"It clearly sounds like talking to Peridot first might be the best move." noted Pearl.
"Yes." agreed Garnet.
"The question is when can we get to her." mused Pearl.
"She goes to advanced computing classes." noted Amethyst.
Pearl saw a chance.
"Is Jasper with her?" asked Pearl hopeful.
Amethyst laughed at this.
"Jasper wouldn't be caught dead there." answered Amethyst.
"We have an opening." noted Garnet.
Pearl nodded her head in agreement.
"So, who's gonna talk to her?" asked Amethyst.
The three thought about this.
"We'll do it together." answered Garnet.
"Right." replied Pearl.
"Fine by me." added Amethyst.
"How will we do?" asked Pearl.
"We have to let her know we want to help her." answered Garnet.
"We've tried that." noted Pearl upset.
"Yeah. It hasn't helped us one bit." noted Amethyst.
"We need to gain her trust." stated Garnet.
"Like trying to find a common interest." said Pearl.
"Exactly." confirmed Garnet.
"But, what exactly does she like?" asked Amethyst.
The three women thought this over, but all drew blanks.
"I've got nothing." answered Pearl.
"Amethyst, you where around her in your class." mused Garnet.
"I'm not exactly her friend." said Amethyst.
"We'll figure something out." decide Pearl.
"Right." agreed the others.
The three went to university and attended their classes. As the day neared its end, the hoped to catch Peridot before she went to her advanced computing. Alas, they would not succeed in their endeavor today as Peridot could not be found. The three went about their business. As night fell, the three gathered back home.
"How where you days?" asked Pearl.
"Fine." answered Garnet.
"Whatever." answered Amethyst.
"What about you?" asked Garnet.
"Fine." answered Pearl.
"Upset about earlier?" asked Amethyst curiously.
"I'd be lying if I said no." admitted Pearl.
"We'll do it. It'll just take time." replied Amethyst.
"Exactly. I won't be disheartened!" declared Pearl.
Pearl headed to her room when she noticed the kitchen floor.
"The floor is filthy!" cried Pearl.
"I was making food earlier." shrugged Amethyst.
"Why didn't you clean it?" asked Pearl.
"Didn't get around to it." answered Amethyst.
Pearl grumbled and walked off.
"She's upset." noted Garnet.
"Yeah." agreed Amethyst.
Pearl returned with a broom, dustpan and mop.
"I'll clean this up." noted Pearl.
Pearl turned and began to mop the kitchen floor.
"Check this out." whispered Amethyst.
Amethyst slipped over and grabbed the broom.
"Head up!" exclaimed Amethyst.
Amethyst wildly swung the broom, but Pearl effortlessly blocked it with her mop.
"En Garde." replied Pearl confidently.
Pearl began to wield her mop like a sword as Amethyst hopelessly fought back. Finally, Amethyst tripped and fell on her butt.
"Oh!" cried Amethyst.
Amethyst looked up to see Pearl's pointing the mop inches from her face.
"Touche." said Pearl proudly.
Amethyst began laughing as Pearl helped her up.
"That was impressive!" declared Amethyst.
Amethyst got back to her feet.
"Where'd ya learn to fight like that?" asked Amethyst curiously.
"Rose Quartz taught me." answered Pearl blushing.
"Tell us!" requested Amethyst enthusiastically.
Pearl thought for a moment.
"Help me clean and I will." said Pearl.
Amethyst let out a groan at this.
"Fine. But, only because I'm too damn curious." relented Amethyst.
Amethyst grabbed the broom and they began cleaning.
"Out with with it!" demanded Amethyst eagerly.
"I think it's safe to we both want to know." stated Garnet, joining them in cleaning.
"First, I need to give you a little backstory..." began Pearl.
Pearl quickly told them about her run-in with the trio of Neo-Nazis.
"Fucking idiots." sighed Amethyst.
"It's sad when ignorance clouds someone's mind." added Garnet.
Pearl nodded her head.
"Just glad nothing happened." said Garnet.
"Totally. Rose was awesome." added Amethyst.
"Yes." said Pearl dreamily
Pearl blushed in embarrassment.
"After that, I asked Rose to teach me how to defend myself and she agreed." began Pearl.
Pearl was exited to train with Rose. She went to Rose's apartment for the first time and her heart was nearly beating out of her chest. Rose let her in and Pearl was awe-struck at how beautiful the apartment was. It had pink wallpaper and Hibiscus flowers where everywhere. They made room and then Rose went to her room returning moment later with two objects in her right hand and cuddling clothing in her other.
"We need to put our protective clothing on first." said Rose.
"I'll go to the bathroom." replied Pearl.
"It's to the left." said Rose.
Pearl went to the bathroom, but struggled to put the attire on.
"How are you doing Pearl?" asked Rose.
Dressed in her underwear, Pearl was struggling to put her breeches on.
"Fine." answered Pearl.
Pearl fought to put her leg in the hole, but wound up falling.
"Ouch." groaned Pearl.
Rose opened the door and giggled at the site.
"I can help." offered Rose.
Pearl stammered in embarrassment.
"It's fine. Nothing I don't have myself." shrugged Rose.
Rose helped Pearl and helped her get dressed. They then returned to where they had made room.
"One moment." said Rose.
Rose went to her room and returned with two swords.
"Take this." said Rose.
Pearl obeyed and took the item.
"That is a fencing Sabre." noted Rose.
Pearl examined the weapon.
"Mask on." said Rose.
Both women put their masks on, completing their ensemble.
"Ready?" asked Rose.
"Yes." answered Pearl.
"Everything begins with your stance." began Rose.
Pearl nodded her head.
"Keep your stance wide. Keep your body lowered." continued Rose.
Pearl spread her legs widen and lowered her body.
"This isn't so bad." muttered Pearl.
Pearl then went on the offensive.
"As your moving forward, balance is the key." said Rose.
Pearl evened out her body to try and maintain her balance.
"Right foot. Left foot." continued Rose.
Pearl moved her right foot then her left foot.
"Now go even fast." said Rose.
Pearl began to pick up her pace, but Rose went on the offensive.
"And as your moving backwards, keep your eyes on me." continued Rose.
Pearl's foot rolled and she fell over.
"Oh my gosh!" cried Rose.
"I'm fine." sad Pearl.
Rose extended her hand and helped Pearl up.
"You're good. With practice you could become really good." said Rose.
Pearl looked at Rose and blushed.
"You do it for her." said Pearl softly.
Pearl gushed as she finished her story.
"No offense, but you where really gay for Rose!" laughed Amethyst.
Pearl frowned disapprovingly.
"It's a joke." said Amethyst.
Pearl growled and marched off.
"What's she so pissed about?" asked Amethyst.
"Huh." mused Garnet.
In her room, Pearl had thrown herself onto her bed. Pearl couldn't believe what Amethyst had said. Not because of her joke, Pearl had come to accept this, but because she felt like it degraded Rose. Pearl took the picture she had of Rose and held her close to her. As she did, Pearl thought about to her time with Rose Quartz.
"Rose made me feel like I was everything." noted Pearl, to nobody.
Pearl moved her legs a bit.
"Oh Rose." said Pearl.
Pearl looked at the ceiling.
"Nobody could understand my feelings for you." said Pearl.
Pearl was silent for a minute.
"You where more to me than anyone." continued Pearl.
A thought suddenly came to Pearl.
"I couldn't." said Pearl.
The thoughts got stronger.
"It would only reinforce then degregation." said Pearl.
Pearl tried to think of something else.
"I have done it before." mused Pearl guilt.
Pearl groaned as she gave in.
"Dammit." cursed Pearl.
Pearl removed her pants then her panties.
"Oh Rose." moaned Pearl as she began.
A/N: That is where we'll end things. If you've read my stories, you'll notice I don't write sex scenes as a personal choice, but I won't deny that's human nature so I imply or note sexual content, but I don't write the actually action. I referenced "You do it for him" here just as did with "Stronger Than You" earlier and that is one of my favorite Pearl songs. Next time, the three attempt to talk to Peridot. Please review.
