(Jarek's Castle)

"What's taking Magma so long with her bath?" Jarek said, setting her third hamburger patty on the plate, with a napkin to let the grease drain from it.

"I don't know,I went up to the bathroom, and checked on her after hearing her scream. I asked her what happened and she said she fell." Black Diamond said, eating her own burger.

Jarek shook his head.

"What do you think went on down there?" Black Diamond asked.

"In the mines? Who knows, she seemed like she was really pissed. Regardless of that, she has to learn a lesson from this. She can't just start fights with Tundra." Jarek said.

"Thanks, dad." Tundra said.

"And you too, you need to calm your temper when it comes to things like that. You still have to do one more thing for me." Jarek said.

"And what's that?" Tundra said.

"You have to beat me in a match of Minecraft, on my survival world." Jarek said.

"I don't even know how to play that." Tundra said.

"Oh don't worry, it's incredibly easy. Even for you." Jarek said.

"Ugh, fine. If I win, I get to have my stake from the match." Tundra said.

"Yes, I'll reward you with plenty of steak." Jarek said.

"That too." Tundra said.

Jarek cracked his neck.

(SNAP!)

"OHHH! Oh my neck!" Jarek panicked.

"Did you pop your neck again?" Black Diamond said, concerned.

Jarek tilted his head, and looked at her.

"Ahh, I got you again!" He said, revealing it to be a joke.

"Ugh, you have to stop doing that! I thought you were serious!" Black Diamond said.

"Calm yourself down, and I'll give you another footise massage." Jarek said.

"That's fucking gross." Tundra said.

"It wasn't that gross." Orange Aquamarine said, playing with her teddy bear.

"EW! You're sick!" Tundra said.

"You too, you and your anime boyfriend." Orange Aquamarine retorted in a simple voice.

"Anime boyfriend, eh? What's his name?" Jarek asked, interested while setting up his console.

"That's nothing you should be concerned about!" Tundra defended.

"Was it Ichigo?" Black Diamond said, leaning to her, teasing.

"What?! I don't know what you're talking about!" Tundra said, blushing dark blue.

"Hey, you gonna play or what?" Jarek asked her.

"Yeah.

Black Diamond giggled a little, walking to the couch.

"Alright, let me get the game started." Jarek said, walking to his Xbox One console.


(AFTER THE GAME)

RESULTS -

TUNDRA AMETHYST WINS


(30 minutes later) - Post match results

Jarek shook his head.

"You dork." Black Diamond said, petting him.

"How could I lose? I guess she learned too fast." Jarek said.

"And now, I get my steaks. Get to work, slave." Tundra said.

"Yes yes, you're very funny." Jarek said, getting up and walking to the kitchen.

Tundra did a victory dance, reveling in being victorious.

"Tundra, stop." Black Diamond said.

"Why? I won." Tundra said.

"Yeah, but now he's gotta prepare some steaks for you, and he's really tired." Black Diamond said.

"Don't guilt trip her, I'm not even that tired." Jarek said.

"That's besides my main point here, what I mean is : (At Tundra) you're using bad sportsmanship." Black Diamond said.

"How is her being happy that she won a bad thing?" Jarek asked.

"She's being a selfish winner." Black Diamond said.

"How?" Jarek asked.

"You said you were tired, right?" Black Diamond said.

"Yes, but that's not important right now. I've been out there for a long time, and now I can't even do what I want in my own castle now?" Jarek said.

"I didn't say that. Don't put words in my mouth." Black Diamond said.

"I know what to put in your mouth." Jarek said.

Black Diamond shook her head at him, in disapproval of his implication.

"Just kidding, chill." Jarek said.

"Ugh. I'm going to bed." Black Diamond said.

"Please. You look exhausted, compared to me." Jarek said.

"What?" She said.

"You do." Jarek said.

She walked away.

Jarek shook his head, and looked back at Tundra.

"I don't know about you, but I'm gonna hit the showers after this." Jarek said.

"That's fine. I'm gonna go out for a walk." Tundra said.

"Fine, just be back here by 8." Jarek said.

"Very well." Tundra said.


(Space)

"I don't understand. What did we do that was so wrong to Orange?" Blue Diamond said, sobbing her hands.

"You didn't do anything, Blue. (Pat) There (Pat) There." Yellow Diamond said, trying to comfort her.

Then the screen started to haze slightly.

* TRANSFERRED! *

Blue Diamond looked up from her hands, with wide eyes.

* HACKING COMPLETE *

"Hack?! Who could be doing this?" Yellow Diamond said, tapping on the digital keyboard.

Orange Diamond appeared on the screen again. This time, she had tears in her eyes.

"Mother, I.. I didn't mean to hurt you. I really didn't." Orange Diamond said.

"Orange! Come back! Please!" Blue Diamond said.

Orange Diamond looked at Yellow Diamond, who only nodded.

"Please." Yellow Diamond said.

"She was tired of this cruel burden. When she realized what she was doing, she was brokenhearted. And she loved you both with all her heart, but all she saw was the back of your hand." Orange Diamond said.

"Who?" Yellow Diamond said.

"Pink?" Blue Diamond said.

"And then I tried to help her, I did the best I could to get to her, but I lost my mind, and became someone else." Orange Diamond said.

"Orange?" Yellow Diamond said.

Then the screen showed an image of a humanized disguise of her.

"My name was Vivian, and I created life from my gem. I fell in love with the earth, just like she did." Orange Diamond said.

"Orange, why are you telling us this?" Yellow Diamond said.

"The end for me is near. I feel my light going dimmer by the second. I wanted you both to know the truth. I love you both with all my heart, and gem. Pink Diamond wasn't shattered. She's alive." Orange Diamond said.

Blue Diamond gasped, with her heart fluttering. If she were human, she would have had a heart attack.

"Orange, you have to come back. Where are you?" Yellow Diamond asked.

"I'm-"

* CONNECTION TERMINATED! *

FILE DELETED

"Yellow, we have to go to earth. That's where she would be, and probably Michael, and Michelle." Blue Diamond said.

".. Yes. We're going to earth. To find her, and Pink Diamond." Yellow Diamond said.

"Pink.. is she really alive?" Blue Diamond said, covering her mouth with a saddened expression.

"I don't know. But we'll find out soon enough." Yellow Diamond said.

The Yellow ship flew forward, increasing its speed for earth, which was still about a good few 1000 light years away.


(Heart of the Castle)

Orange Diamond sniffed through her nose, with her eyes closed.

"It is time for me." She said. A tear came out of her right eye.

Then with a few more breaths, her light based form faded away, with the gemstone falling to the floor, and her essence entered the large crystal behind her.


(Living Room)

Jarek opened his eyes, and felt her disappearance, and her energy enter his body.

"What's wrong?" Black Diamond said.

"She's gone.. " Jarek said.

"Orange?" Black Diamond said.

Jarek nodded, looking at her.

His skin tone then faded to orange.

"Whoa, this is weird." Jarek said, seeing the change on his appearance.

Magma came into the room, where fresh, clean clothes, and a towel on her head. When she saw her father's sudden change, she laughed.

"HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!"

"Stop, it's not funny." Black Diamond said.

"Yeah sis. This is serious. He just turned orange!" Tundra said.

"No no, it's fine. I now realize what this means. I'm all that's left of her." Jarek said.

"Oh Jarek.. " Black Diamond said.

Jarek looked at Magma, who was confused.

"Look, this is the first time you've been in the mines, and it won't be the last time." Jarek said.

"Well I don't want to go back down there. AT ALL. I'm still very mad at you for earlier." Magma retorted.

"There will be rewards down there, but you have to find them. And they will not be easy to get." Jarek said.

"What kind of rewards?" Magma asked.

"Stuff that can benefit you in many ways. I don't give these treasures to anyone, you're the first one I'm selecting, and the most likely the only one." Jarek said.

"Wait, do you know where all of them are?" Magma asked.

"No, but they belonged to my family, and I want you to have them." Jarek said.

"Hm... okay. But only because I want those rewards." Magma asked.

"What about me? Why don't you want me to go with her?" Tundra asked.

"Because you will be having a different task. Tomorrow, I'm going to take you to my barn, where you will meet my Fire Opal." Jarek said.

"Fire Opal? Is it even possible for a Fire variation of an Opal to exist?" Tundra asked.

"Well, she exists, so yes." Jarek said.

"(SNORT!) Obviously!" Black Diamond said, finding humor in that.

Jarek laughed a little.

"You guys." Tundra said.

"And me?" Orange Aquamarine said, looking up at Black Diamond.

"You will remain here, where you will be learning through your mother about Homeworld." Jarek said.

"Aww. It's boring here!" Orange Aquamarine whined.

"Well, get used to it because you live here." Jarek said.

And so they all went to bed after that.


(Space)

Yellow Diamond looked at the photo of her, Pink Diamond, Blue Diamond, and White Diamond, but just her smile and chin were in it. At the top of the photo.

"Why couldn't we stay this way? What went wrong?" She thought.

"Yellow?" Blue Diamond said, noticing her holding the picture.

Yellow Diamond snapped out of her train of thought, and looked at her.

"What is it?" She responded in her normal tone.

"Is that the photo Orange took of us when we all spent time in my chamber?" Blue Diamond asked.

Yellow Diamond sighed through her nose, and nodded.

"I really miss them. They were everything to me." Blue Diamond said.

"I know, Blue. I know." Yellow Diamond responded.

"I have a strange feeling. It was as if Orange was trying to tell us goodbye. Like she was dying or something." Blue Diamond said, feeling saddened and disturbed.

"She wasn't dying, Blue. I know she wasn't. She couldn't have been." Yellow Diamond said.

"You don't know that! Anything could have happened to her! We don't even know if she's actually on earth! You said you found Jarek on Tallon IV, right? She could be there!" Blue Diamond said.

"... I know where she is. But if I tell you, you'll kill her." Yellow Pearl said.

The two looked at her.

"Explain at once." Yellow Diamond demanded.

"When I was poofed by Purple Diamond, I remember her saying something else before she left." Yellow Pearl explained.

"What'd she say?" Yellow Diamond asked.

"Yeah, enlighten us." Yellow Peridot said.


(PAST)

Yellow Pearl's gem laid there.

Purple Diamond took out her diamond communicator and contacted Jarek.

The diamond shaped device opened, and showed a diamond like screen, showing Jarek.

He was panting.

"Yes, Purple?" Jarek said.

The falls are ruined. We cannot bring power to the sun statue. The waters are contaminated and incurable." Purple Diamond said.

"That's tough. Now how are we going to get out of here?" Orange Diamond asked.

"I don't know. But I ran into interference with Yellow Diamond's Pearl." Purple Diamond said.

"Destroy her! She cannot live to tell them where you were found!" Orange Diamond said.

"It will be done." Purple Diamond said before ending the transmission.

[EXPLOSION!]

"AUGH!"

She fell off the mountain top.

Yellow Pearl's gem fell off too, being blown away by the force.


(NOW)

"And that's what happened." Yellow Pearl said.

"And just when were you going to tell us this if we didn't talk to Orange?!" Yellow Diamond asked, appalled.

"Nobody ever asked. And I didn't want to worry you." Yellow Pearl said.

Yellow Pearl pounded the arm of her chair and walked off.

Blue Diamond was left, frowning at Yellow Pearl, still with tears in her eyes.

"I'm serious." Yellow Pearl said.

Blue Diamond turned away from her.
