Exactly four months has passed since the world was nearly destroyed by an Injector with poison in it. Also, it's been four months since Spinel has even been to Earth.

Just when Spinel was destroying the planet, Steven told her that she can change, and that she will love again. Spinel (accidently) broke the Injector with her fists that she grew very big. A few minutes passed and everything was at peace again.

Then, the Diamonds came and almost immediately started to adore Spinel. I mean, who wouldn't love such a cute gem like her? She had just the cutest little accent in her voice. She had hair like a bunny; two medium-length punk pigtails that pointed up. She also had a nice, round, a-

The Diamonds took Spinel to their palace in Homeworld. That day, right there, right then, Spinel felt like she would love again, and that the Diamonds would be the ones. She sees that Yellow, Blue, and White Diamond loved her. But Spinel started to think that is was just a facade.

Spinel knew that she was created for entertainment. Merely a jester for Pink Diamond. Due to trauma that Pink Diamond caused by leaving Spinel in their garden for 6000 years, she started to think that is was her soul purpose. A toy that gems would just use until they didn't want her anymore. She thought is was bound to happen with the other Diamonds.

Any day now, thought Spinel. They're gonna throw me away soon. They are't gonna wan' me. 'Specially like this...

Spinel started to stroke the black lines on her face. They resembled all the tears she had cried the moment she heard Steven say that Pink Diamond doesn't exist, but before she was gone that she found new friends, and they all had a "happily ever after" without her.

She sighed sadly and went to see if any of the Diamonds' pearls wanted entertainment. She was too afraid of asking the Diamonds themselves. She was afraid that they might reject her. That she would be abandoned. Again.

She started by asking Blue Pearl if she was busy and if she had time to watch a trick that she planned. "Sorry, Spinel. First I have to do my show with YP. Then, I need to draw a portrait of my Diamond and other things my Diamond needs. I will came to you as soon as possible when I'm done."

"That's fine," Spinel replied. She went to go find Yellow Pearl. Spinel got the same answer from her. Basically, she was also too busy. But she was more rude about it. "I'm busy okay? Buzz off."

Well, that leaves Spinel with one more option... Pink Pearl. She really didn't wanna talk to her. Pink Pearl, or, Pip was still not over the loss of Pink Diamond. Pip would keep reminding her of the hen responsible for causing Spinel's trauma. Pink Diamond is the reason Spinel has trust issues. She's also the reason why she doesn't want to be left alone too long.

With another sigh, Spinel dawdled over to Pip, dragging her stretched out noodle arms. They dragged way behind her as she finally reached Pip. "Um, heya, Pip." Spinel started. "Do ya, oh, wanna see a trick or sonethin'?" Pip smiled. "Sure! I don't have anything to do now. And I'm sure you trick will be delightful."

With that, Spinel pulled out three orbs from her gem. She started to juggle.

I don't wanna let Pip see the real tricks. Just somethin' real simple. Thought Spinel. She doesn't deserve real tricks. Wait, what am I even sayin'? I'm the one who doesn't deserve to be here.

Suddenly, Spinel got hit on the top of her head by tree pink orbs, which snapped her back to reality. She was a little flustered, but not totally embarrassed.

Her face turned a deeper shade of pink. A little darker than her hair. That was because she heard Pip giggling. Spine then thought, damn, that laugh is cute. Wait, what the hell? But, still, her smile...

Then, Spinel's gem turned hot, and it started to glow. The newly formed glow in her gem was white, and on the shape of a right-side-up heart, unlike her actual gem. All because she saw Pip laughing.

"Oh no! What's wrong, Spinel? Did I do something wrong? Wait, why is your face pinker then I remember?" Pip is worried about me? What kinda trick is this? But to be honest, I don't even know the answers to those questions. all I know is that this feeling feels kinda nice...

"Uh, nothin', Pip," started Spinel. "It's probably just me..." There a was more concerned look on Pip's face. "Oh goodness... please just tell me what's going on. If it's me, then oh deserve to get...shattered." Pip replied. Spinel could not believe her ears. Well, she doesn't have any, but still. Why would Pip want to be shattered? Because of her?

"Ya don't havft'a do that." Spinel said, the hotness in her gem disappearing, along with the blush on her face. "Well, maybe I should tell the Diamo-" "NO!" Spinel shouted. Pip gasped and stepped back away from her. Pip didn't seem concerned anymore. She seemed frightened- no, terrified at Spinel's expression.

Spinel's eyebrows furrowed, her eyes were spiraling her mouth was in a strong frown, and the noise that was coming from that frown was a growing noise, as if she were a dog. Pip's face said "I'm scared, get away!" But her gem said "Just, shatter me and get it over with!" Pip really wanted to know what was wrong.

"Oh wait! I'm so sorry, Pip! I didn't mean to scare ya. Just, don't tell the Diamonds anything about me." Pip relaxed a little. She understood what Spinel felt. "Pip, I don't think the Diamonds wan' me anymoa'." Spinel said, her accent growing heavy. "Again, s-sorry f-for scarin' y-ya. I-I didn't m-mean ta I g-guess. I j-just..." Spinel was tearing up. "I g-guess. I j-just have t-that effect on otha' gems." Spinel was all the way crying now.

"No, it's okay. I understand. Pip reassured. "You were abandoned by someone you loved so much..." Spinel knew that Pip still didn't believe that Pink Diamond was gone, but it was still nice of this pearl to be so... reassuring.

Then, Spinel hugged Pip. Pip was a little surprised. Usually, Spinel hated physical contact. Then Pip just returned the hug, patting Spinel's head as she did so. Spinel coiled her arm around Pip, pulling her closer.

They were both on their knees at this point. "Thank ya for giving me some attention, Pip." Spinel whispered. Pip replied "I love you, too." Spinel kinda broke the hug and looked at Pip shocked.

Oh no! What did I just say? Oh she's probably thinking I'm wierd...

What? She loves me? impossible! I'm worthless... stupid... She's... beautiful...

Though, Spinel is adorable, funny, and she has a nice...

Pip is very smart, and pretty... she has really big boo-

I mean, I always did...

I think that I now...

Love her!
