Author's Note: YO! This is a request from TheWriter946, for Pearl and a song from one of the ever popular and famous Musicals Les Miserables.
Now this takes place in the main UF continuity and during the time when the other crystal gems where still corrupted and bubbled back at the temple.
Empty Chairs at Empty Tables.
Every year, Pearl enters the Bubble room alone.
She always does this since the first of their comrades where brought here in their secure and peaceful containment.
Since there was no knowledge of how to reverse what has been done to their comrades, nothing to cure them of their corruption, this is where they must remain.
Pearl looked at every gem, remembered all their faces, both of when they shared joy and laughter, and the look of horror at their new forms.
Pearl hugged herself as her body trembled, "This is all my fault." She whispered,
"I'm sorry."
Pearl: There's a grief that can't be spoken. There's a pain goes on and on.
Empty chairs at empty tables, now my friends are lost and gone.
Pearl stated remembering how she and Rose stated assembling any gem that believed as they did, stating from Garnet to Bismuth and on and on.
Pearl: Here they talked of revolution. Here it was they lit the flame.
Here they sang about tomorrow and tomorrow never came.
Tears threatened to fall as the memories carried on as her gem created holographic images of her memories. Where she stood beside Rose as she gave a speech to their fellow Crystal Gems about the life that they all will have when the war is over and earth will be safe.
Pearl: Form the center to the corner. They could see a world reborn and they rose with voices ringing and I can hear them now!
They very words that they had sung. Became their last communion.
On the lonely battlefield at dawn.
She gasped when the images changed to the moment when she, Rose and Garnet saw their comrades transform in pain to their new forms.
Quickly she ended the images and fell to her knees as her tears finally fall.
Pearl: Oh, my friends, my friends forgive me.
That I am here and you are not.
There's a grief that can't be spoken.
There's pain goes on and on.
Pearl slowly stood up and used her holograms one more time, and created an image of each of the bubbled gems original forms. All of them looking at her, their expressions showed no joy or hate, just blank stares.
For what would they think of her, what would they think if they all know what their fate has become?
Pearl: Phantom faces at the window.
Phantom shadows on the floor.
Empty chairs at empty tables.
Where my friends will meet no more.
Oh, my friends, my friends, don't ask me, what your sacrifice was for.
Empty chairs at empty tables.
Where my friends will sing no more.
The images fade once more, leaving Pearl alone with her friends.
Alone, in silence.
The End.
Author's Note: Heavy stuff man. Heavy stuff. Thankfully they are all cured now right? By the by I wonder what the no longer corrupted Crystal Gems feel when they find out about Rose/Pink Diamond? Also Hope you enjoyed your request TheWriter946!
