Day 3: Ball/Party
Basing this fic off of my main fic series "Hope"!
"But Mooooom! Do I really need to go to this ball? Its so boring!" Aqua Diamond begged her mother, Blue Diamond.
"Yes, I'm sorry, sweetie, but it is a tradition," Blue said as she brushed her daughter's unruly hair.
"It's a stupid tradition, in my opinion."
"Your sister said the exact same thing when she was younger."
"Mom, please, don't talk about Pink…"
"I'm sorry, sweetie. I don't mean to make you upset."
Aqua Diamond sulked a bit and said, "It's okay, I just wish she could be here with us."
"She is, in memory. We have Steven now and I know you love him deeply."
"Wait, Steven is going to be here?!" Aqua Diamond tried to turn around but the brush snagged in her hair.
"Ow, ow, ow!"
"Don't move so quickly" Blue Diamond smiled and said, "Steven is going to be at the ball along with his friends and Crystal Gems."
"Yay! Ouch, Mom, when are you going to be done with my hair?"
"In a few more minutes, you have my hair remember? It's a task to take care of it, my angel."
"I know, Mommy." Aqua twirled some of her hair and said, "I love you, Mommy."
"I love you, too, sweetie." and Blue smiled.
Blue finished brushing Aqua's hair and styling towards Yellow's hair style. It didn't perk up in the front like Yellow's, rather it smoothed out like Blue's. Her outfit consisted of a dress that was similar to Blue Diamond's but more reserved. Green Diamond was off getting ready with Yellow since Aqua begged to be with Blue.
"Now, Aqua, I don't want you fidgeting with your hair and messing it up, do you understand?"
Aqua knew exactly what her mother was talking about. Every time she would get nervous or tired, she would twirl her hair through her fingers, her sister would do it as well. Blue didn't think it was a bad habit though, she just wanted them to look their best on the night of the ball.
There was a knock on the door, followed by a voice.
"Blue, are you two ready?" the voice said.
"Yes, my love, why don't you two come in and see?" Blue answered.
The door hissed open, revealing Yellow Diamond with Green Diamond in tow. Green Diamond was wearing a suit of armor similar to Yellow's but her gem was more covered.
"Mommy!" Green yelled as she ran towards Blue and jumped on her.
"Stars, Green you can't stay away from Mom for more than an hour?" Aqua said as she pestered her sister.
"Shut up, Aqua! You're lucky they are here or I would beat your-"
Yellow put her hand on Green's shoulder and said, "Now, now you two, that's not what I want to see at the ball, understood? This is a special occasion, Steven has come to attend."
"Yes, Mama." the twins said in unison.
The twins were matured to about a ten-year-old in human terms even though they were only a year old. Grabbing her sister's hand, Aqua Diamond ran out of the room towards the warp pad.
"Slow down, you two!" Yellow Diamond yelled.
"Sorry, Mama!" Green Diamond yelled back as her and her sister warped to the ball room.
"I wish I still had that energy." Blue Diamond said as she laughed.
"Oh, my love, you still do. Just not right now." Yellow Diamond said as she wrapped her arm around Blue's waist.
Blue wrapped her own arm around Yellow's waist and the pair walked out the door towards the warp pad. Hopefully, their daughters didn't make their entrance without them. They were supposed to enter as a family, not as single Diamonds. The warp pad sprung to life as they warped through the stream, ending up at the ballroom. The twins were waiting for them, still holding hands. Their pearls were there also, waiting to introduce them.
"Is everyone ready?"
"Yes, Mommy!"
"Alright then, Pearls, please introduce us!"
The family of Diamond stood behind the curtains as their Pearls went out.
"Behold, the luminous Yellow Diamond in her radiance!" Yellow Pearl chirped.
"Prepare yourself for the lustrous Blue Diamond in her brilliance!" Blue Pearl announced.
"And their daughters, Aqua Diamond, and Green Diamond!" the Pearls said in unison.
Aqua and Green Diamond both walked out, their hands still together. Following the twins, Blue and Yellow walked out, still with their arms around each other waists. With the help of their mothers, Aqua and Green both found their thrones. To keep an eye on them, Yellow made sure they were put in between herself and Blue. Yellow helped Blue onto her throne before making her way to her own. She quickly glanced at Blue to make sure she was enjoying herself. After a few minutes of waiting, the ballroom quieted down for the next arrival. They didn't want an introduction though.
"Blue! Yellow!" the person yelled.
"Steven!" Aqua Diamond screamed before jumping off of her throne and running towards him.
"Aqua! Be careful! Remember he's smaller than you! And slow down and watch for gems!" Yellow yelled as she pinched the bridge of her nose.
"Oh Yellow, let her be. She's young." Blue responded.
"But- alright, but only because you told me to, my dear."
"Mommy? Mama? Can I go see Steven too?"
"Yes, Green, just be careful." Blue said as she moved her hand through her daughter's hair.
"Okay, Mommy!" and Green got off her throne and ran towards Steven.
Aqua and Green were both talking to Steven and each of them gave him a hug. Blue looked over at Yellow, she was smiling. Happy that their daughters were enjoying themselves.
"They are growing so fast, aren't they, Yellow?"
"Yes, my love, it was like yesterday that we were holding them in our arms as gemlings."
"I can't believe it's been a year and so much has changed. We've learned so much and now Steven is a part of our lives."
"It's all for the better, right, Blue?"
"Yes, my love, it is. It will all be better for all of them."
Yellow got off of her throne and made her way over to Blue's throne. She leaned down to kiss Blue on the lips, hearing her children's disgusted response in the background. Blue smiled at Yellow, happy to be with her true love…
At the Ball…
