A/N: Hello everyone, I am back with chapter 104 of this story. Here, we pick up where we left off last time and move into the last major arc of the story.
Disclaimer: I don't own Steven Universe
The Diamonds and our heroines, plus Greg, gathered around the couch. The Diamonds did apologize for their actions and it was accepted by Pearl. They then sat around and Pearl told the Diamonds about Pink's life as Rose Quartz.
"I can't believe Pink actually faked her death and lived a new life without telling us." said Dean Diamond stunned.
"I'm still hurt by this." admitted Miss Diamond.
"That was Pink." shrugged Pearl.
"Sounds like she kinda sucked." said Amethyst.
"Why you..." began Dean Diamond angrily.
Miss Diamond had to restrain her sister.
"Pink's problem is she never thought about the effect her actions would have on others. She always rushed in without thinking." replied Pearl.
"That I can agree with." sighed Dean Diamond.
"I'm kinda glad Steven can met his aunts." said Greg.
"Oh, how is our nephew?" asked Miss Diamond gleeful.
"My friend Vidalia is watching him now." answered Greg.
"She knows what she's doing." said Amethyst.
"When can we meet him?" asked Miss Diamond.
"Anytime." answered Greg.
Miss Diamond couldn't hide how giddy she was at meeting her nephew.
"Even though Pink is gone, we will have a piece of her with him." said dean Diamond.
A realization hit Dean Diamond.
"Oh God." said Dean Diamond horrified.
"What's wrong?" asked Miss Diamond worried.
"We'll have to tell...her." answered Dean Diamond.
It took a moment for Miss Diamond to realize what her sister was talking about.
"Mind filling us in?" asked Amethyst.
"I think I know." said Pearl.
Pearl braced herself.
"They're talking about White Diamond." said Pearl.
Dean Diamond and Miss Diamond winced.
"I thought so." said Pearl softly.
"There's another one!" cried Amethyst.
"White Diamond is the oldest of our sisters. Then came Yellow and I. Finally, there was Pink." explained Miss Diamond.
"White is the Dean of Delmarva State." added Dean Diamond.
"When people say the Diamonds a powerful family, they aren't joking." mused Peridot.
"Why hasn't she been involved in trying to kill us?" asked Lapis.
"White didn't handle Pink's death well." answered Dean Diamond.
"She punched a hole in the wall." revealed Miss Diamond.
Dean Diamond gave her sister a glare.
"She did." shrugged Miss Diamond.
"They don't need to know that." stated Dean Diamond.
"Sorry." replied Miss Diamond.
Bismuth couldn't help but smirk at their arguing.
"She doesn't talk to anyone and doesn't go out often." said Miss Diamond.
"And now everything has to be perfect." said Dean Diamond annoyed.
"Pearl, have you met her?" asked Garnet.
"I knew Dean Diamond and Miss Diamond. However, I only saw White Diamond. I never even talked to her." answered Pearl.
Pearl tapped her chin.
"The closest I ever got was one time Pink and her talked while I sat nearby. Pink wanted to help her sisters with the school, but as told she wasn't mature enough." said Pearl.
"This is going to be very painful." groaned Dean Diamond.
An idea hit Dean Diamond.
"We have to stop at Beach City University!" declared Dean Diamond.
"Why?" asked Miss Diamond confused.
"I think I have something that might help." answered Dean Diamond confident.
Ruby and Sapphire decided to remain at the house and hold down the fort as it where. Greg returned to pick up Steven and was told to not involve himself. This was something Greg had no problem with. The Diamond and our heroines went to Beach City University. Dean Diamond told the others to wait and departed. The rest of the group had to stand around until she came back.
"This sucks." groaned Amethyst.
"You need to be patient." said Garnet.
"I mean this whole thing. I'm still worried if we can trust them." replied Amethyst.
"I have to admit, I'm not fully sure I trust them either." said Bismuth.
"It's difficult, but we have to try." said Garnet.
"And if something does happen?" asked Amethyst.
"We'll kick butt." answered Bismuth.
"Exactly." agreed Garnet.
Amethyst chuckled.
"I can get down for that." said Amethyst.
Nearby, Peridot stood next to a visible worried Lapis.
"How are you?" asked Peridot.
"Scared. Worried. Anxious." answered Lapis.
Peridot took Lapis' hand in her own.
"It'll be okay." said Peridot softly.
Lapis took a deep breath.
"This is...just all so much." sighed Lapis.
"Yeah. I know how you feel." said Peridot.
"Thanks." said Lapis softly.
Finally, Pearl noticed Miss Diamond avoiding her gaze.
"Miss Diamond..." began Pearl.
"I do feel awful for everything we did." whispered Miss Diamond.
Miss Diamond shuttered.
"I know Pink would forgive you." said Pearl.
Miss Diamond smiled faintly.
"Thank you." said Miss Diamond.
Pearl felt a ping in her bladder and had to run inside. She used the restroom and was headed back outside when she bumped into someone.
"Sorry." said Pearl.
"It's alright." replied Centi.
"Oh. I haven't seen you in a while." noted Pearl.
"I've been around." noted Centi.
Pearl took notice of a book Centi was holding.
"An RAF Spitfire." said Pearl.
"I love flying." said Centi.
"Do you want to become a pilot?" asked Pearl.
"Yes." answered Centi.
"I hope you achieve your goal." said Pearl.
"Thank you." replied Centi.
"Now I've got to convince someone her sister didn't actually die." sighed Pearl.
"Huh?" asked Centi confused.
"It's a long story." groaned Pearl.
"I find breaking difficult news can be a very difficult task." noted Centi.
"Yup." muttered Pearl.
"But, you must persist. It might seem like you have no chance, but never lose hope." said Centi.
Pearl nodded her head.
"That's good advice." said Pearl.
Centi blushed.
"I thought I said wait outside." said Dean Diamond as she approached.
"I had to use the bathroom." said Pearl.
"Fine. Let's go." said Dean Diamond.
"Bye Centi." said Pearl.
"My name is Nephrite. Nephrite Park." revealed Nephrite.
"Goodbye Nephrite. And thank you." said Pearl.
The group left and headed to Delmarva State University. However, White Diamond had left already. Thus, they returned to the Diamonds home. Pearl couldn't help but feel a bit creeped out after her last time here. As they arrived, Amethyst spotted a white Cadillac Escalade already there. Dean Diamond noted this meant White was here. They gathered outside the home.
"Now what?" asked Amethyst.
"I guess we go in." answered Bismuth.
Bismuth began walking, but Garnet threw her arm out stopping her.
"What's up?" asked Bismuth.
"I think we need to be more cautious." answered Garnet.
Garnet looked at the Diamonds.
"It would be a bad idea to march up to White." said Miss Diamond.
"She can be...volatile at times." answered Dean Diamond.
Lapis gulped worried.
"It's okay." whispered Peridot.
Lapis smiled.
"We need a plan." said Pearl.
Everyone shared glances looking for someone else to come up with a plan.
"Miss Diamond and Dean Diamond will talk to her alone first..." began Garnet.
Garnet looked at her friends.
"Once they feel she's ready...we'll join you." said Garnet.
"I guess that is simple enough." mused Miss Diamond.
"That is if she's ever ready." groaned Dean Diamond.
"Are you ready?" asked Garnet.
"Yeah!" declared Amethyst.
"Let's do this." said Lapis.
"I'm in!" exclaimed Perdiot.
"You can count me in!" declared Bismuth.
"I guess so." said Miss Diamond.
"Ready as ever." sighed Dean Diamond.
"Let's go." said Pearl firmly.
The group walked to the house and reached the front door.
"Here we are." said Dean Diamond wearily.
Dean Diamond reached for her keys, but the door opened.
"Oh My God." gasped Pearl in horror.
Before them was a women who looked like a spitting image of Pearl.
"Hello. White has been expecting you." said the woman in a robotic tone.
"Pearl, is there something you aren't telling us?" asked Garnet.
"It is nice to see you again cousin." said the woman.
"This is my cousin...Pearl Byrd." revealed Pearl.
"A please to met you." said the new Pearl.
"My uncle, her father, is the brother of my father. We where both named after our grandma, there mother." explained Pearl.
"This is going to be confusing." sighed Amethyst.
"Please come in." said White's Pearl.
The group entered and where led to the parlor.
"Haven't been here since i was taken by force by Aquamarine." chuckled Pearl.
Miss Diamond winced.
"Sorry. I shouldn't have joked like that." said Pearl.
"It's fine." replied Miss Diamond.
"The Zircon cousins..." began Pearl.
"Are doing fine. After the incident, they where paid and left." revealed Dean Diamond.
Pearl was relieved to hear this.
"My cousin will follow me and the rest of you will stay here." said White's Pearl.
"We need to talk with White." said Dean Diamond.
"She is not available." replied White's Pearl.
"Pearl isn't going alone!" declared Bismuth.
"There is alternative." said White's Pearl.
"Then I'll go." decided Pearl.
Pearl followed her cousin up the stairs.
"So...it is really nice to see you again." said Pearl.
"Yes." replied White's Pearl, in her robotic manner.
"How are you?" asked Pearl.
"Okay." answered White's Pearl.
"Is something wrong?" asked Pearl.
"Of course not." answered White's Pearl.
"You never acted this monotonous before." noted Pearl.
"This is who I am." stated White's Pearl.
They stopped at a door and White's Pearl knocked.
"Come in." cooed a voice.
White's Pearl opened a door and Pearl entered. There, sitting behind an office desk, was White Diamond. A cup of tea on her desk.
"Help yourself." said White Diamond.
Pearl began drinking the tea. It was chamomile and Pearl couldn't stop drinking.
"So you are the one who added Starlight in faking her death." said White Diamond.
"You know?" asked Pearl surprised.
White Diamond laughed as Pearl finished the tea.
"It wasn't hard to figure out." answered White Diamond.
Pearl began feeling odd.
"I figured those diuretic pills would make you drink the whole cup." said White Diamond.
Pearl felt her knees getting weak.
"You...drugged me." realized Pearl.
"The Valium is kicking in." said White Diamond.
Pearl collapsed on the floor.
"You ruined our perfect, orderly family. We cannot have that." said White Diamond.
Pearl passed out.
A/N: That is where we'll end things for now. So, we've got Pink/White Pearl (I'm not calling her Volleyball) and White Diamond into the mix. I wasn't sure what to do with Pink Pearl so I made her the cousin of our Pearl. Also, I planned on having White Diamond be the dean of Delmarva State since I came up with this story which was right before we met Blue Diamond and she kidnapped Greg. If she existed, this is what I was going to do with her. Next time, the aftermath of this. Please review.
