Pearl, Dean Diamond and Miss Diamond where forced down to the basement by White Diamond. To their surprise, White's Pearl was waiting for them. They found three chairs set up next to each other as they reached the basement floor.
"Sit." ordered White Diamond,.
As she was still holding her Beretta 92 pistol, there was no other option.
"Maybe she's going to tie us down and toss us off a bridge." thought Pearl morbidly.
White's Pearl began to tie them up.
"Yup. Tossing us off a bridge." muttered Pearl flatly.
"Now, I know you think I'm going to kill you." began White Diamond.
"Whatever could have given us that idea." sighed Pearl.
White Diamond shot Pearl a death glare.
"However, I'm not going to." said White Diamond.
Dean Diamond and Miss Diamond where relieved, but Pearl was skeptical.
"Instead, you're going to be re - educated." said White Diamond.
"And this is different from the Xinjiang re - education camps how?" asked Pearl.
White Diamond scowled.
"I'm really getting under her skin." thought Pearl.
White's Pearl walked up with a roll of duct tape.
"Ma'am, should I apply this?" asked White's Pearl.
"Yes." answered White Diamond.
White Diamond walked over to a movie projector.
"I plan on forcing you to watch this video until I have broken you. Then, I shall rebuild you without your imperfect flaws." explained White Diamond.
"So...the Ludovico Technique." said Pearl.
"Oh yes. From A Clockwork Orange." said Miss Diamond.
"This is nothing like that." scoffed White Diamond.
"It's exactly like that." said Pearl.
"I do fail to see a difference." added Dean Diamond.
"Enough!" snapped White Diamond.
Miss Diamond and Dean Diamond recoiled. Pearl found herself oddly amused by how easily White Diamond was getting rattled.
"You will be quiet and you will undergo my treatment." said White Diamond.
"It's not like we have much of a choice." said Pearl.
White Diamond was peering holes in Pearl.
"You might want to be careful since she does have a gun." warned Blue Diamond.
White Diamond regained a confident smirk.
"You would do best to listen." said White Diamond.
"This is the third time I've had a gun pointed at me. The first was by the Emerald, then Dean Diamond and now you. I'm used to it." said Pearl dryly.
"Why must you continue to make things more complex than need be?" asked White Diamond.
"I guess it's a curse of mine." answered Pearl.
White Diamond pressed the gun right against Pearl's forehead.
"Do you think I'm afraid?" asked Pearl.
"You should be." ordered White Diamond.
White Diamond pistol whipped Pearl with her gun.
"Pearl!" gasped Diamond.
Pearl winced a bit.
"I'm okay." said Pearl.
Miss Diamond sighed in relief.
"Oh thank goodness." said Miss Diamond.
Is that all you have?" asked Pearl defiantly.
"It's time for your re - education." answered White Diamond.
"That doesn't scare me." said Pearl.
"My Pearl. Please put duct tape over her mouth." ordered White Diamond.
White Diamond watched her Pearl obeyed placing duct tape over the mouth of Pearl. With everything set, White Diamond began her re - education.
"You'll be fixed soon." cooed White Diamond.
Meanwhile, the others where still outside. Garnet, Amethyst, Bismuth, Peridot and Lapis had huddled together. They began to brainstorm idea of how to get inside. They had been thrown out of the home, but where not forced off the property thanks to an oversight by White Diamond. Not knowing where the Diamonds where or if they where being watched, the group had to be very careful. However, they saw security cameras.
"Anyone have an idea how we're getting in there?" asked Lapis.
"We'll have to break in." answered Amethyst.
"I'm pretty sure that is illegal." noted Peridot concerned.
"At this point there's no other choice." said Garnet.
"We need to disable the camera somehow." said Bismuth.
"If we had spray paint that would help." said Lapis.
"Or tape." added Peridot.
"I have athletic tape in my glove compartment." revealed Amethyst.
"I don't think that'll work." said Garnet.
Amethyst was upset, but quickly hit with another idea.
"I have Tinactin spray in my car." said Amethyst.
"Is that for athlete's foot?" asked Bismuth.
"When you wrestle you have to share a locker room." answered Amethyst.
"I don't think that'll be helpful." said Lapis.
"It's a spray." said Amethyst.
"Which means we can use it to blind the cameras." realized Garnet.
Everyone felt their hope rise up.
"We'll have to use a back door to get in." said Garnet.
"There has to be one." stated Peridot.
"Then let's bust it down!" declared Amethyst.
Bismuth laughed.
"I wish I knew you longer. I like you." said Bismuth.
"Won't we need a lookout?" asked Peridot.
"I'll do it." offered Lapis.
"Let's go." said Garnet.
The five began sneaking along the side of the house.
"Keep your heads low so we aren't see." noted Garnet.
"Not a problem for you Peridot." joked Amethyst.
"Look who's talking." replied Peridot.
Amethyst covered her mouth while laughing.
"Touche." conceded Amethyst.
The got to the back and found a back door, but it was locked.
"We;ll have to find another way to get in." said Bismuth.
The four turned and found traditional glass greenhouse.
"Damn, how much money do they have?" asked Bismuth.
"It would seem like a lot." answered Peridot.
The four could see into the greenhouse.
"What type of flowers are those?" asked Amethyst.
"Pink hibiscus." answered Garnet.
The other trio gave her a surprised look.
"My moms had some."explained Garnet.
Meanwhile, Lapis saw a maid headed for the door.
"Uh oh." said Lapis concerned.
Lapis made a bird call to warn her friends.
"Hide!" cried Garnet.
The four hid behind a nearby tree.
"If it's a Diamond, I say we show no mercy." whispered Amethyst.
The door opened and Lemon Jade exited with a bag of trash. The four walked up on her with Lapis joining them.
"We need to talk with the Diamonds." said Garnet.
"I am afraid they are busy." said Lemon Jade.
"It is very important. We can wait." replied Garnet.
Lemon Jade thought it over.
"Okay. Come on in." shrugged Lemon Jade.
Lemon Jade let the five in. They entered and where led to the massive kitchen.
"Damn!" cried Peridot.
"We could use a kitchen like this." mused Garnet.
Amethyst ripped the fridge door open.
"Whole Foods." whistled Amethyst.
Amethyst looked around.
"I don't see beer." mused Amethyst.
"The Diamonds find beer to be uncouth." revealed Lemon Jade.
"That sucks." replied Amethyst, mouth full.
"What are you eating?" asked Lapis.
Amethyst showed off the label.
"Finlandia Swiss Cheese." answered Amethyst.
"I don't think we should raid their fridge." noted Bismuth.
Peridot walked over to the fridge.
"Hey Lapis, want some Boar's Head roast beef?" asked Peridot.
"Sure." answered Lapis.
Peridot ate a slice of roast beef then handed one to Lapis who ate.
"I really don't think you should being doing that." said Lemon Jade worried.
Amethyst, Peridot and Lapis ending their fridge raiding.
"I'm sorry for that." offered Garnet.
"It's okay." answered Lemon Jade.
Lemon Jade thought.
"I guess you should wait in the common room." mused Lemon Jade.
"Um...sure." replied Bismuth.
"White Diamond does not want to be disturbed, so you might need wait." noted Lemon Jade.
"Where is she?" asked Garnet.
Jade paused for a moment.
"I'm not sure I should tell you." said Lemon Jade unsure.
Footsteps could be heard coming up the basement.
"I think we're about to find out." said Garnet.
The basement door began to open.
"Brace yourself." warned Bismuth.
The door opened and White's Pearl walked out.
"I believe i told you to leave." said White's Pearl.
White's Pearl turned to Lemon Jade.
"Did you let them in?" asked White's Pearl.
Jade dropped and would quickly kowtow to White's Pearl.
"It was an accident! I promise!" cried Lemon Jade.
"I will inform White Diamond of this." stated White's Pearl.
"No! Please!" begged Lemon Jade desperate.
"It's not her fault." said Lapis worried.
"We tricked her." added Peridot.
"She failed to recognize your deceit." stated White's Pearl.
Lemon Jade began shaking.
"You're freaking her out!" exclaimed Amethyst.
"Why are you here?" asked White's Pearl.
"We where for Pearl." answered Garnet.
"And we aren't leaving without her." added Amethyst.
"I am afraid my cousin is being re - educated at the moment and is not available." said White's Pearl.
"What do you mean by re - education?" asked Garnet.
"White Diamond is removing all of her flaws just she did for me." answered White's Pearl.
The five women where creeped out.
"What do you mean?" asked Garnet.
"You see..." began White's Pearl.
A laugh stopped White's Pearl who turned around and saluted.
"My Diamond!" exclaimed White's Pearl.
"Jade, your failure to keep these five out of the house will be punished." said White Diamond sternly.
"But..." began Lemon Jade.
"No buts!" snapped White Diamond.
Lemon Jade hung her head and went to the kitchen.
"Now, like my Pearl said, I re - educated them." said White Diamond.
White Diamond stepped aside allowing Dean Diamond and Miss Diamond to come up. Both had creepy smiles on their faces.
"Hello there." said Dean Diamond, in a monotone voice.
"Everything is perfect." added Miss Diamond.
"What the hell did you do to them?" asked Amethyst horrified.
"I removed their imperfections." answered Dean Diamond happily.
"You're a monster!" declared Bismuth.
"You haven't seen the best part." said White Diamond.
White Diamond stepped aside allowing Pearl to come up. She had the same creepy smile on her face.
"White Diamond, thank you ever so much for making her perfect." said Pearl.
A/N: There you have it. I wasn't sure how to do the re - education scene exactly so I didn't mention it. I know it's probably rushed too. Next time, we finish this arc. Please review.
