Suggested by DiamondFan:

Blue diamond goes to one of her colonies to recieve the newest batch of Lapis Lazuli gems. She finds one with a more masculine appearance, and yellow specs of pyrite. Instead of shattering him, he is welcomed into her court. She calls him Steven.

Blue diamond's ship landed on the surface of her colony. Finally, her newest Lapis Lazuli gems were done. She had come down to take them back to Homeworld herself, wanting them to truly understand their purpose.

As she walked over to the group of Lapis Lazuli gems, she noticed they were all huddled around somebody.

Her haunting voice echoed over them, and they all snapped to attention, saluting her. "What is going on here? Why are you all looking at?"

They all parted for her to see, and her eyes fell on a short, stocky Lapis Lazuli. This one looked different than the others. Instead of having smooth, or long hair, their hair was poofy, and shaggy. The outfit was different as well. Instead of a two piece dress, they wore a one piece suit. The gemstone was on their stomach.

As well as the clothing, and physical appearance, this Lapis Lazuli gem had bright golden specs all over their body. It was clear that these specs were bits of Pyrite. This gem was defective.

She looked down at them, and frowned slightly. "You there. Come closer."

The Lapis Lazuli nodded, and silently walked past the others. Blue diamond held her hand down. Once they stepped onto her hand, she raised them to her eye level.

Her voice was softer now, but still just as haunting. "What is your purpose?"

The gem shrugged slightly. "I'm not sure, my diamond. I know who you are, however. So, how may I serve you?"

This gem smiled brightly, their eyes sparkling with admiration.

With a sigh, she looked down at the others. "All of you, get on the ship, we are returning to Homeworld."

They all filed onto the ship, and Blue still held that defective Lapis Lazuli.

While they flew she spoke, asking him many questions.

"Why do you look like that?"

"This is how I emerged, my diamond."

"Why is your voice different than a normal Lapis Lazuli?"

"I am not sure, my diamond."

"Do you know you are defective?"

"I am defective? Why is that, my diamond?"

"The flecks of pyrite. How do you feel?"

"I feel good, my diamond. I am excited to see my Homeworld."

"Do you believe you may be of use for the empire?"

"I will do my best, my diamond. For you."

As she spoke to the others, they all knew their purpose. It seemed to be an instinct to all of them. All of them, except for this defective, strange looking one.

However, she found herself interested in the seemingly always happy blue gem. As they landed at Homeworld, the other Lapis Lazuli gems went to their sectors, waiting for orders. She looked down at the defective one.

Her voice was soft again, this time seemingly full of kindness. "I will help teach you your purpose."

The gem nodded happily, and saluted. A large smile, and shining eyes remained on their face.

With a hum, Blue spoke again. "You are different. I shall call you Steven. Is that understood?"

Steven bowed to her. "Yes, my diamond. I will be more than happy to learn from you."

At that, Blue carried him to her palace, ready to teach this Lapis Lazuli all about his purpose.

After all, a Lapis Lazuli is very important to the empire. She was certain, under her guidance, Steven would be a great gem.
