Once both Pearl and Steven got back to the house, they opened the door and were greeted by Garnet and Amethyst.
Amethyst looked at Pearl with a blank look on her face, while Garnet looked at the both of them. Again, her face was also blank.
Pearl sighed, and closed her eyes.
"I have something to say..." Pearl stated solemnly.
"A-Amethyst's, I'm so sorry for what I said to you. That was way out of line and I shouldn't have said it. I was just...angry. I wanted to protect you and Steven from the whole Diamond Authority thing, and while I'm still not telling you both, I hope you have the heart to forgive me. And you must be mad at me for not trusting you with the information, but some secrets should just remain...untouched." Pearl exclaimed, holding back tears.
"Ever since Rose died I've been lost. I can't find myself anymore. I don't know what my purpose is. I-I just wish I could get over it, but I can't and it's killing me inside. A Pearl like me shouldn't be having these emotions. I'm so sorry Amethyst and Steven. I truly am. Please forgive me..."
Amethyst looked at Pearl with a blank expression, but when Steven looked into her eyes, he saw sadness in them.
"I guess the only right thing to do is forgive you. It's okay Pearl. No hard feelings...But you're still no fun. Heh." Amethyst said with a smile, walking towards her room.
"Heh, I guess I should loosen up a bit..." Pearl whispered, tears in her eyes, but still managing to smile.
Steven sighed in relief. This whole predicament was finally over. That's one less problem he had to deal with. Tonight he had to go on his Computer and start researching stuff online for any supernatural events that may have been caused by the Homeworld Gems.
Pearl went back to her room, and so did Garnet, leaving Steven by himself. Steven got out his phone and texted Connie.
Steven: Hey Connie, have you solved any clues so far?
Connie: Not at the moment, but I am trying to draw the space ship we investigated earlier. It could help us.
Steven: Okay, cool. By the way, we'll have to go back to the Kindergarten soon. Peridot had some kind of underground base their and we should investigate that too.
Connie: Sounds pretty dangerous, especially with her on the loose but...okay. I also printed out the pictures we saw on that Computer back on the ship, and I'm getting ready to put them on the coardboard I talked about earlier. That should record our information we have on her.
Steven: Good. And I will definitely tell you my secret tomorrow. Promise.
Connie: Okay, good. I was getting worried about you.
Steven blushed at that...Wait, blushed? Was he actually blushing?
Steven: Yeah. I'll talk to you later.
Steven put his phone back in his pocket and sighed.
"I really need a break from all of this..." Steven said as he sat on his bed.
He really did. Having to go through all of this is really taking it's toll on him. He just hoped he could relax someday and not have to worry about any of this. But of course, he's a gem, and gems don't have normal lives.
