AN: Short Chapter

Chapter 14

"Urgent orders from Pink Diamond!" Manager Peridot exclaimed catching everyone's attention. "The second Control Building will be turned into living quarters to the humans that are set to arrive after Earth is destroyed." She signed. "This takes priority over everything else, so let's get to work, for our Diamond!" she exclaimed. 'How troublesome.' She sighed. She wouldn't fail, none of them would least their Diamond finally unleash her wrath on them.

Earth – Beach City – Universe Home/Temple

The end of the world was one thing and Steven had been barely holding it together. That's why Connie didn't want him to be alone. This was where Stevonnie came in, to take command and take some stress off of Steven's stressed out mind. "We need a surplus of food, but we obviously can't bring any animals aside from Lion, we're good on medicine, clothing, blankets, sleeping bags, and entertainment." Stevonnie said listening off what they had. "Aside from food, what else do we need?"

"Stevonnie." Pearl called.

"Pearl, yes, what is it?"

"The ships are full, we can't fit anymore humans or gems." She stated. "We can't save anymore of them." Stevonnie looked to her with wide eyes. They would have no choice but to leave behind over 7.8 billion humans, they would die. "Stevonnie." The fusion sighed and flopped down onto the couch. Pearl sat next to them. "Listen, I don't to leave any of them behind either after all, I defended this planet and the humans for thousands of years." She grasped their hand. "I'm sorry."

"No, it isn't your fault, we knew this would happen eventually." They said. "How many do we have?"

"187, we're at maximum capacity." They had to leave the planet now, they couldn't put it off. Stevonnie stood up, and left the house with Pearl. The ships were on the beach along with the passengers. "We've told them the truth as you can see." Many of the humans were crying. "I'm really going to miss this planet."

"Yeah, same here." They sighed. "At least the Cluster will be safe, it's really deep underground sonic might not even notice." That's when they noticed it. "Is dad/Mr. Universe holding hands with mom/Rose?"

"Oh, yes they've been catching up, spending time with each other and they've even talked about finally getting married." Pearl stated. "They're very happy."

"They deserve it." They smiled. "I wonder if I'll ever get married." Pearl looked to the fusion in confusion, what were they talking about? Were these Steven and Connie's feelings? Or maybe these were Stevonnie's personally developed feelings. "I'd like to know what it feels like."

"What do you want to feel?"

"Love, I want to know what love feels like." They sighed.

"Pink!" Blue called.

"Hm?" they looked around, but didn't see the Diamond anywhere. "Blue, where are you?"

"Next to you." the usually towering Diamond was indeed standing next to them. Blue was smaller, she was Garnet's height to be specific, but this made her shorter than Stevonnie who was the same height as Opal.

"Blue, what happened to you?"

"Apparently, my original size made the humans uncomfortable, they feared that I might step on them." She explained. Blue had stayed behind while White and Yellow went back to Homeworld. "Being this small feels odd."

"You're used to towering above everyone, now you're really close to their level so it's a new experience for you." They explained. "It's a good thing." Blue looked down at the humans and gems, now she could see them closer.

"Pink, you're very attached to these humans, I'm surprised White is willing to let you help them." She said. "She's being very lenient with you and allowing you to act on your own." This was very much true. "She didn't even try to make you unfuse with the human you keep with you all the time."

"You really don't like it when Steven fuses with Connie." Stevonnie said with a smirk. "Hm, would you like to fuse with me?" Pearl and Blue Diamond looked to the fusion with surprise and shock. "Fusion isn't disgusting or shameful, it's beautiful and can bring two gems together; that's why it's amazing when two different gems fuse." They laughed. "When they do then they create something new and amazing!"

"Pink, have you lost your senses, fusion is—"

"Bad? You don't know until you try it for yourself." They stated. Pearl was completely silent, she didn't know what to say in a situation like this. Stevonnie was really trying to get Blue Diamond to fuse with them. The fusion grasped her hands. "Come on, be adventurous for once, and we're family so it's cool." They hoped that this wouldn't be weird. The two began slowly moving and Pearl backed away. A sense of curiosity from Blue was all it took for them to both glow white. Their bodies blended together, and began to grow larger before fully taking form. What emerged was tall and cute.

Purple eyes with diamond pupils, long curly pale purple hair and skin, light blue eyes, 4 arms, and two purple diamonds. The fusion had a much more feminine look, and looked oddly young despite her size; like a 14 year old human girl. Her clothes consisted of a pair short dark purple jeans, and a short hooded robe that reached her waist. It had two holes that allowed her two gems to be see. Pearl stared at the tall diamond human fusion. She retained Stevonnie's height. "Oh my stars." Pearl gasped out. "Stevonnie, no, Purple Diamond?"

"This is fusion?" Purple Diamond looked at her arms and examined her body. "I'm a fusion." She laughed. "This is amazing, I'm amazing!" she exclaimed with excitement.

"Uh, Purple, please calm—" the newborn fusion jumped high into the air. "Of course." Pearl sighed.

Purple felt nothing but pure joy as she soared through the sky without a care. "So, this is what fusion feels like, that's what I am." She stopped. Now she could see beyond Beach City, now she could see just a little piece of the beauty that Earth held. Despite its immanent demise, it was still quiet and peaceful, and the wind felt great on her skin. "Is this what that fusion that calls herself Garnet feels all the time?" she leaned backwards. "My name is Purple Diamond and I exist." She looked at her hand. "I am alive." She wanted others to know who she was, she wanted people acknowledge her existence and accept everything that she was.

Attention, this was what she wished for; it would bring her immense joy. "The other Diamonds have to—no they can't!" There it was, internal conflict between Steven and Blue. Purple could feel herself becoming undone because of the duo that created her. "No, not yet, they have to see us—they have to see me!" the disagreement continued until they split and fell onto the hill, right next to the lighthouse.

"That was pretty cool." Steven laughed.

"Purple Diamond, she's an amazing gem, I felt it all of it." Blue said. "Is that what fusion always feels like?"

"Yeah, unless it's forced and then it feels horrible for the other gem though and can cause suffering." He said. Hopefully, she would understand that there was nothing wrong with fusion between different gems. He wanted her to understand so that she'd be more accepting, if she did then White would never see it coming.
