A/N: Okay, guys! here's Chapter Thirty-Nine. It's incredibly short, but it makes up for it in Wham Value. I hope you enjoy!
A Triangle in the Stars
Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Impossible Dream
Pearl was floating in a void, still seemingly asleep. She jerked awake soon enough, in this strange place, and looked around, eyes wide. An eyebrow rose, symbolizing her confusion, "What...?"
The Gem floated around, scanning the area, when suddenly the darkness lifted a tiny bit. It was an eye opening, and the hellish pupil was looking right at her. She gasped, and readied her spear, shuddering a little. She had a bad feeling about this. A really bad feeling.
It didn't do anything other than stare at her, however. Or, rather, as it soon became apparent, someone in front of her. A familiar someone. Someone with pink ringlets. Pearl could barely understand this at all. Why was she dreaming about something she'd never seen before?
Pearl blinked. She saw Rose gesture different things, but didn't hear her speak. She didn't hear the owner of the eye speak either. But she could see that her mentor, her lover, was the tiniest bit afraid. Maybe a little subservient?
No.
That just didn't seem right. Pearl always knew Rose as a strong, independent Gem, who bowed to no one and let no one bow to her. What was it about this eye that invoked such a change..?
And suddenly she felt herself falling, and she screamed. Neither Rose nor the mysterious figure could hear her. They grew farther and farther away, and darkness started clouding her vision. And soon she jerked and bolted awake, gasping and sweating, eyes completely wide. Pearl looked around, and saw Garnet and Amethyst and Keyhole sleeping comfortably. She then groaned. Oh, how she envied them...
A/N: I told you it was incredibly short. Later on, or tomorrow, I'll post the next one. I hope you enjoyed it nonetheless, and please leave reviews. I solo'd this. :3
Also, just so you know, my computer cord is on a sometimes thing now, so the days I upload this story are going to be sporadic, but it's always going to be a week in between, with exceptions to extremely short chapters. However, since I'm not receiving any reviews, I may wait till Friday or Saturday.
Have a nice day!
