Chapter 52: Pink Pearl

Everyone was surprised to know that Pearl knew this Pink Pearl and saying that she was Pink Diamond's pearl.

Amethyst: Wait, wait, hold up. You two know each other?

Garnet: I don't understand.

Steven: Did you say she was my mom's pearl. I thought you were.

Pearl: Well... I haven't always been with you're mother. I was actually only given to her a a couple thousand years before she was given the Earth. She was her original pearl.

Pink Pearl: I get the feeling I've seen you before, but I can't remember what?

Pearl: You don't remember.

Pink Pearl: I guess being bubbled for so long clouded my memory. How long have I been bubbled?

Pearl: You've...you've been bubbled for over 8,000 years.

Pink Pearl's eye opened wide.

Pink Pearl: That long? What did I miss? Where's Pink Diamond?

Pearl and Steven looked at each other with worried looks on their faces. Pearl spoke first.

Pearl: It's a long story.

After telling Pink Pearl about Pink Diamond's rebellion, Steven and the Gara Droids, Pink Pearl was conflicted. She turned to Steven after realizing that she has her Diamond's gem.

Pink Pearl: Do you really not remember me?

Steven: I'm really sorry but no.

Pink Pearl began to tear up.

Steven: She meant a lot to you didn't she?

Pink Pearl: We used to play and goof around a lot. Me, her and... and... I can't remember who else, but I felt like there was another person with her. But I never got a chance to say goodbye to her or remind her that it wasn't her fault for what happened.

Steven: What happaned what?

Pink Pearl: ( points at her broken eye) This.

Steven now look shocked.

Steven: Wait, she did that to you?

Pink Pearl: It was an accident really. She would never hurt anyone intentionally. It was just an unfortunate accident...

Homeworld 8,000 years ago.

Pink Diamond constantly begged for her own colony from White, Yellow and Blue. But they knew she was too young for one and kept refusing. After a recent arguement with Yellow, she marched back to her room angry, where Pink Pearl was waiting for her.

Pink Pearl: Welcome back my Diamond.

But Pink Diamond wasn't paying too much attention to her as all she could think of was how the other Diamonds were treating her.

Pink Diamond: I can't believe Yellow. She just turned me down like that again. They get to have so many colonies, yet I don't even get one.

Pink Pearl look concerned for her Diamond and approached her.

Pink Pearl: My Diamond, never mind them.

Pink Diamond: How can I forget about it Pearl? They do this all the time to me. They treat me like a child simply because I came last or I'm not as tall as them!

As she ranted, a dark pink aura was surrounding her but didn't notice.

Pink Pearl: Um, my Diamond...

Pink Diamond: What does it take to get my own planet? My own colony. I'm just as important as they are!

Finally that aura exploded and let out an energy wave, sending Pink Pearl flying to the wall. Pink Diamond realized was she did and hurried to her.

Pink Diamond: Oh no, Pearl I'm so sorry. Are you alright?

Pink Pearl got up to face her, but when Pink saw her, she gasped after seeing her eye now cracked.

Pink Pearl: My Diamond what's wrong and...and why can't I see through one of my eyes?

Pink Diamond: Hold on Pearl, I can fix this.

Pink Diamond shedded her healing tears to heal her. But it didn't work. She tried applying both on her gem and her eye, but it wouldn't heal.

Pink Diamond: Why isn't it working? I know, I'll take you to the others. They'll know what to do.

Pink Diamond took Pink Pearl to the Diamond throne room where the other three were at.

Pink Diamond: Yellow! Blue! White!

Blue Diamond: What is it now Pink?

Pink Diamond: It's Pearl. She's hurt.

Pink Diamond showed the Diamonds Pink Pearl's eye. Yellow and Blue had disturbed looks on thier faces while White was just mildly disturbed.

Blue Diamond: Oh my, Pink what have you done?

Yellow Diamond: You threw another one of your tantrums again, didn't you?

Pink Diamond: It was an accident. I got mad and accidently hurt her. I can't heal her myself.

White got a closer look at her.

White Diamond: Well Starlight, it appears we have a scarred gem. Now this is just unacceptable. Shatter her.

Two Jasper guards were approaching Pink Pearl, but Pink Diamond blocked them.

Pink Diamond: NO! Don't shatter her.

Yellow Diamond: She's defected and ugly now Pink. It's for her own good. Isn't that what you came for?

Pink Diamond: I brought her here to see if you can heal her.

Blue Diamond: How do you expect us to heal her Pink? If you couldn't heal her, how could we?

Pink Diamond: Isn't there a project of healing scarred gems?

Yellow Diamond: That's still in a work in progress. We don't know how much longer our research team will finish it.

Pink Diamond: I can wait. I'll do anything to heal my Pearl.

Blue Diamond: Yellow, maybe we should let her live.

Yellow Diamond: There you go again Blue, just spoiling her like you all ways do. She needs to take responsibility and she has to learn it the hard way.

White Diamond: Alright settle down you two.

Yellow and Blue kept quiet once White told them too.

White Diamond: Alright Starlight we wont' shatter her, but we will have to bubble her away.

Pink Diamond: What why?

White Diamond: Simple, we are portrayed to be the most perfect beings in the galaxy. We must be perfect along with our empire, soldiers and servents. And you pearl is now imperfect. But you do need a pearl to accompany you so...Pearl.

White called for her Pearl to come, it was our Pearl wearing her servent uniform.

Pearl: You called my Diamond?

White Diamond: You will accompany Pink Diamond here as a temporary replacement pearl for her.

Pearl: Yes my Diamond.

Pearl approaches Pink Diamond.

Pearl: I am here to serve you Pink Diamond.

Pink Diamond: White I... I can't accept this.

Yellow Diamond: White don't give her another Pearl, she's going to break her again.

White Diamond: Nonsense Yellow, I'm sure Starlight here can learn to be more responsible. Now Pink, this is your new pearl unitl you're old one is healed. Until then, she must be bubbled away. Oh and don't break her.

Pink Diamond: No, this isn't fair.

Pink Pearl: My Diamond it's okay.

Pink Diamond turned to her.

Pink Pearl: If this is what it will take for me to heal and to see each other again, I'll do it.

Pink Diamond: But I don't know when I'll see you again. Oh this is all my fault. You're in this situation because of me.

Pink Pearl: It's okay. It's not your fault.

Pink Diamond: Yes it is. I scarred you.

Pink Pearl: I know you well. You would never hurt me on purpose. I'll see you again soon.

Pink Diamond: ( sighs) I'll miss you.

Before the two of them could get a chance to hug goodbye, Yellow zapped Pink Pearl with her electricity and poofed her as everything went blak now.

End of Flashback.

Pink Pearl: Next thing I know, I reformed yesterday and was attacked by that Bomber guy and wondered around this world with the warp pads scattered until I wondered here and witnessed your fight.

Pearl: I'm so sorry you had to go through all that.

Pink Pearl: So...you were my replacement?

Pearl: Only temporary. Well supposed to be temporary. All Diamond's had to have a pear land that's why. You know that.

Pink Pearl: ( sighs) I know.

Garnet: Well I'm glad we found you. You should come with us. It's not safe for you to wonder around if you don't know where you are.

Pink Diamond: Oh I don't want to be a burden.

Steven: Not it's fine. There's so much to show you here on Earth. We'll help you get settled in. It'll be great to have another pearl in our team. You guys would have a lot to talk about.

Pearl: Um, yes alright. Let's go uh...Pearl.

Pink Pearl: Okay Pearl.

Steven: Remind me to do something about that.

They headed back to the house to help would soon help Pink Pearl get settled in on Earth.

Meanwhile at Gien's ship.

Gien: You failed me again Bomber!

Bomber: My lord, please it wasn't my fault.

Gien: You had one job. One job and you couldn't do it.

Bomber: But it was that fusion. She's the one who took down the Steelshell bros.

Viggo: And where were you during their destruction?

Bomber: I was with them, but then I took off after they were all destroyed.

Viggo: So you ran away from the fight.

Bomber: ( dropping to his knees) It was just me against the whole team. I had to retreat. Not to mention our supply of Gartronium is running low and I wasn't fully charged up. You know that Viggo. Tell him master!

Viggo turns to Gien.

Viggo: He does have a point on one thing my lord. We are running low on our energy supply.

Gien: Agreed. Bomber, you bring a valueble point.

Bomber: Yes, I think we should halt our attack for a bit and restock on energy.

Gien: And so we shall. You will go and restock on our energy supply to make up for your failure.

Bomber: Uh... of course master. I will bring a team with me to get started.

Viggo: But I advise he should be supervised.

Gien: I thought the same thing. Acha, Kocha. Go with him and make sure he doens't plan anything else behind my back.

But Gien heres no response.

Gien: Acha, Kocha did you not here me?

Gien turns around and realizes they're not in the room.

Gien: Where are those fools.

Meanwhile in Acha's room.

Acha was watching Crying Breakfast Friends again with Kocha by him looking annoyed.

Kocha: I seriously don't get why you're into this.

Acha: Becaus this is the newest episode. The last one was like three months ago, maybe more. I mean what's up with that?

Kocha: I don't know but I know what's up with you.

Viggo enters the room.

Viggo: You two!

Acha and Kocha panics as Acha quickly shuts off the t.v.

Viggo: What are you doing?

Acha and Kocha: Uh, nothing.

Viggo: Get out here. Our lord has a mission for you.

Acha and Kocha: Yes Master Viggo.

Viggo leaves leaving the two behind.

Kocha: You heard him, let's go.

Acha: But what about the new episode?

Kocha: It'll air again, now come on!

Acha and Kocha arrived to Gien with Bomber.

Kocha: What is your command my lord?

Gien: You two are to accompany Bomber during his gathering of Gartronium. Make sure he behaves himself.

Acha: As you command my lord.

Acha and Kocha walked towards Bomber.

Bomber: I can't believe I have to go with these two morons.

Kocha: Now, now. Be a good boy and maybe we'll go get a Gartronium treat back home.

Bomber: Shut it doll face.

Kocha: Whatever.

The three of them teleported out of base to start their mission. Gien leaves the room to go back to his lab.

Gien: I will be in my lab to continue research on Huntress's return. I expect to here a new plan of attack from you soon.

Viggo: Of course my lord.

Gien leaves and Viggo was left alone and was in the main control room, sitting down at his work station and drinking some wine.

Viggo: I need a new plan of attack, but what though?

He accidentaly knocks over a box of old blogs, he goes down to pick it up but stops when he see's that these were actually Peridot's old blogs.

To be continued...

Author's Note: That's it for this chapter. I wanted it to imply that Pink Pearl's eye was an accident and not from abuse, I don't know I don't remember the episode too well whether it was implied to be intentional abuse or not. We'll continue with her next chapter. Also I'm not 100% sure if this is how our Pearl met Pink Diamond or if she once belonged to White Diamond, so this is just a guess from me. I hope you enjoyed and please read and review. Thank you.
