First up was Pearl.
Tourmaline sat with her on the beach with Lion, makings an odd circle of sorts. in the center of the circle a hologram was playing, only Steven's memories of pearl at the moment
She showed Pearl singing along with Steven the first time he played the crystal gem song, even so long ago he was fascinated with the love on her face when she sang about Rose Quartz.
Pearl's wonder at the first time he summoned his shield.
Steven's wonder at seeing Opal for the first time.
Fusion practice, and the amazement at Stevonnie.
Catching her watching while he slept, even though she promised not to.
Pearlception, Steven going deeper and deeper into Pearl's Gem.
Rainbow 2.0 and saving Ruby and Sapphire's gems
The concerts with Steg, and showing some of Greg's thought's about Pearl (all good)
His and Connie's wedding, the large cake she baked for them, and for once, she actually tried some.
Tourmaline backtracked to memories from Rose herself, hidden away in the gem.
Rose and Pearl's first trip to the kindergarten.
The siege on the cloud arena.
The first time they fused into Rainbow Quartz.
The war
Every time Rose caught Pearl being jealous of Greg
The last time they fused into Rainbow, mere months before Rose became pregnant with Steven
Steven's birth, the last thing Rose saw before his arrival, was her.
Even further back, there were memories from Pink specifically.
Pearl being presented to Pink.
Simple day to day,cycle to cycle life of the smallest Diamond.
Every time Pink returned from playing with Spinel.
Every time Pearl joined in the visits to Spinel.
The start of the Earth colony.
The invention of Rose, and their first trip. (It was shown again because it was very important to Pink)
The Crystal gems coming together, and every time Pearl was told not to tell the new allies that she was the Diamond they were all fighting.
A Single Pale Rose. The last time she was ever Pink.
The hologram started again, this time with Steven as an adult, in front of a mirror.
"Pearl, I know this must be very hard on you. You lost your Diamond and Reason for being made. You lost Mom, and your reason for independence, and now me, and I'm so sorry. I don't want to leave you, but I've been alive way too long for a human, and it's time for you to truly be your own Pearl. You've changed so much since I was born, and more so since Spinel. Though he can't tell you in person, there's a memory I want you to see. Then you can wrap up with Tour. Since you can now go into the Pinkscape, there are a few things just for you, in the white chest. Please take care of them, some of them are very old."
The hologram changed one more time, Steven was sitting in front of his father Greg, and they were talking about Pearl. The conversation started off simply enough, like the other memories with Greg, just recapping some past adventures and complimenting her intelligence and ingenuity. Then Greg said something Pearl would never forget, " After she came back from Spinel's rejuvination, she's been different, better, she doesn't rely on you, son, or Garnet. Her fusions are more graceful, and I've noticed Opal's memory getting better. To be honest son, I'm starting to think of her differently myself, and I haven't felt this way about another person, let alone a gem, since your mother, and I think it's why Steg and Opal work well together..."
"Dad? are you okay?"
Yeah, Stuball, I'm just trying to say I think I've fallen in love with Pearl. Please don't tell her though, If i get to that point, i want to tell her myself, you can tell her if i don't after I'm gone."
Steven and Pearl's voices overlapped when they said over the memory "He never did tell you/me" Then the hologram faded away.
Pearl stepped in through Lion's mane, and was immediately surrounded by the fuzzy pink grass, and as promised, on lion's hill, was a white chest and a key. She opened the lid and inside was Connie's sword, and a reforge of Rose's sword. Also included was a snow globe of beach city in pink glass to mimic Steven's bubble, and a metal shield that looked like Steven's. The gift that surprised her the most were portraits of Rainbow 2.0, Iridescent Quartz (a fusion of Opal and Steven), Tiger's Eye (Sardonyx and Steven), and Obsidian. Pearl remembered getting those paintings done, Sour cream's daughter definitely took after her grandmother. But what she treasured the most was a picture, obviously done on a computer, of Steg and Opal playing a Beachapalooza, and in the foreground was Greg and Pearl leaning on each other playing the guitar and bass, Steven and Amethyst Dueling on his guitar and her drums. "I think I loved you too" Pearl said sadly holding the picture, "but it's over again, isn't it?"
She stepped out with her chest, tears streaming down her face. Tourmaline looked at her, and gave her a hug," I'm done here, but when this is all finished, i'm always here to talk things over, and Jet and Black as well."
"Thank you, I think I will talk to Black Pearl, after I've put everything away. Do you think Rose's room would activate with the ring Steven gave me? There's someone I need to see"
"You know, I think it very well just might. That ring is supposed to make you the closest thing to Pink Diamond here on Earth"
