Oh gee thanks for following, it means a lot too me!
Master of the Boot- I have to say that I really like how multi faceted Mia is
She's got very different relationships with different people and it really serves to make her more believable
Speaking of that I love how yellow pearl has evolved from a sassy sycophant to a hard no nonsense teacher
Even though she has a lot, and I do mean a lot, of her mother's traits she has her own personality and is quiet complex. Yes, she is Stubborn, hotheaded, proud, reserved, and of course short tempered BUT! She is also Protective, Has her happier moments, caring, and ETC. but I don't want to spoil her, or then what's the point of reading this?
And Yellow Pearl, is still sassy but she has become protective over Mia, As you sort of know, things are rocky with Mia and her father, and thus most of Mia's rearing has been up to YP, Even though she's not as protective as Pearl, she still fears for Her Diamonds safety, maybe not as a mother like Pearl does for Steven (at least in my own perception) But like a relative none the less. And Since Yellow Diamond isn't there to teach Mia, it's up to Yellow Pearl to handle all her lessons.
ENOUGH BLABBERING!
On with the story!
Thanks for the 350+ views too!
"You must focus on you're breathing, Mia. Connect with the energy around you." Yellow Pearl instructed, taking an unnecessary breath to prove her point.
"I know." The Blonde sighed, rolling her eyes behind her closed eyelids.
"Feel the energy around you."
"I know..."
"No, No! Don't speak, listen to the wind, feel it, breath it." The lemony toned gem said.
Mia huffed. "I know, Pearl, look, I know you're trying to help me focus my energy so I can properly throw my destabilization, but this just isn't working for me." The fawn skinned girl stood, and brushed off her slacks. "I'm going to try and find somewhere else I can focus, alone."
Stepping onto the warp pad, Mia warped to one place she knew was mostly quite.
It wasn't very long before another interruption broke Mia's concentration.
"Mia? What are you doing here?" Steven asked, looking inquisitively up at the blonde balanced on one of the hands of the temple.
"Trying to focus on my energy, Rose- I mean Steven." She corrected herself, as she slid off the fingertips and stood before him.
"Wait, did you know my mom?" He asked, with starry brown eyes.
"I- Yes... The first time I met her, it was the most terrifying moment of my life." She said, a small smile creeping onto her carved face.
He gasped and sat down in front of her. "What happened?! Tell me, please!"
"Well." She hummed, sitting down in front of him. "It all started after my father was on his way to the ship with me."
FLASHBACK STORY MODE; ACTIVATE!
Mia squirmed in her fathers arms until he finally set her down before her wringing pulled his shoulders from their sockets.
"Mi- Mia... Ai-yi, yi... Girl you are going to give me grey hairs." He sighed, beginning to chase after the running one-year-old.
She squealed happily, and began running even faster, around her tip of the beach to where her ever loyal Pearl awaited her.
But being newly one, and new to this action of walking and running on her feet, she tripped in the soft, white sand and skidded through some rocks.
Granted, she wasn't very hurt because she was a Diamond, but it did give her cheeks a few minor scratches, and quiet a scare.
She sat up and brought slightly chubby legs close to her chest and clutched the golden stone imbedded on her collar. Small tears slid past the corners of her eyes, and tiny, hiccupping whimpers escaped her throat.
A large Shadow loomed over her, and a tender hand touched her back, then a soothing voice asked. "Are you alright little one?"
Mia gave off a loud whine and shook her head.
"Wear does it hurt?" The figure asked softly, her white and pink dress ruffling softly with her movements.
Mia opened her gold eyes, and went to show the figure her face, but as small amber orbs looked up slowly, they came to rest on the pink stone set in the woman's navel. It was horrifyingly familiar, described in such detail from her mother's stories, this was no human woman, and this wasn't an ordinary gem either. This being before the girl was none other than the notorious war criminal: Rose Quartz.
"Atterer!" Mia screeched, both hands flying to cover her gem, this would surely be her end if Rose knew she was a Diamond, and in such a weak form.
The Curly haired gem was caught off guard by the child's outburst.
"Atterer! Atterer! Atterer!" The little girl continued to cry, her building whimpers growing louder with her mounting terror.
Two Lithe gems stepped between the two, one scooping up the upset child, the other standing protectively before Rose, each holder her own weapon threateningly at the other.
Mia whimpered loudly and buried her face into the crook of Yellow Pearl's neck, as the smooth canary hued gem held her tightly in one arm, her axe held in the other.
"Don't you dare even think of touching MY diamond or the wrath of Homeworld will rain down on you thousands of times harder than last time, until not one of you Crystal gems in even dust!" The Servant threatened, backing up slowly.
"If Homeworld even thinks that they have authority here well they can kiss my-"
Rose cut off her most loyal follower with a question, her voice hollow and almost trembling. "Is that... Yellow?"
The Servant didn't respond to the question verbally, but gave a quick nod, her gaze fierce, and probably just as scared as the girl she held own expression.
The rebel pearl looked to her leader, and then to the girl. "What?! Bu-but that has to be some trick! Yellow Diamond would never come to Earth, let alone become... Like that!" She squawked.
"My Diamond made her own choices and this, Mia, is the product of that you lowly rebels. And even if I have to hunt everyone of you down myself I promise you won't lay a finger on her." Yellow Pearl hissed, backing up even further.
"We won't. But maybe, between her and I we can work out some sort of compromise? Between Homeworld and Earth?" Rose proposed, gently nodding to her own Pearl to stand down.
Yellow Pearl glanced down at her mistress, who glanced up and gave a tiny nod, even though she was still far from her mother's level of intellect, she was far smarter than the above average toddler.
"We will be in contact with you, Rose quartz." The Gem said, before letting her weapon retreat to her gem, and wrapping her arms tightly around the young diamond and running down the beach, towards the ship they called home.
The yellow gem sighed as the ship doors hissed shut, and she slowly slid down the cold wall, her skin of light felt as though it was burning with fear.
Mia looked up at her with reddened and curious, calculating gold eyes. "Rrl? Oks?"
"Yes, yes. My Dia- Mia... I'm fine. Are you alright?" Yellow asked gently, brushing an unruly piece of gold back behind the child's ear.
She got a confident nod in return, and the small girl brushed some dust from her shirt and puffed up her chest proudly, as if to say: Why wouldn't I be ok? I'm a Diamond and nothing can hurt me.
FLASHBACK STORY MODE: DEACTIVATED
Steven stared up at Mia in wonder, he didn't know many people who were his age who knew much about his mom, or people that liked to talk about her all the time.
But there was a question bubbling in his mind. "What did you mean by 'atterer'?"
There was a look of distant, repressed pain reflected in golden eyes as she stared out towards the expanse ocean. "A story for another time Steven." The words shaped her dry lips and raked past her vocals.
From her perch she rose, and stepped onto the warp pad, but before leaving she said. "You'll know what it means in your own time."
A day, a week, another month, things were getting dull, and with no sign of the team sent to earth Mia was growing quite bored of her lessons, as well as the mundane search for her court. It was so absolutely hot outside that it wasn't pleasant for training, or doing much of anything.
So, she sat dully on her bed in nothing but a pair of torn jean shorts, tossing a bubble up in the air with no amusement.
"Ugh, My diamond. One of your human acquaintances is here to see you." Yellow pearl cringed from the doorway, glancing behind her.
The golden girl pulled her discarded tank top on over her bare chest and said in a bored tone. "Let them in."
"Yo." The tall and lanky boy greeted, stepping into her darkened room and flopping down on the large golden canopy bed.
"Hey." Mia regarded softly, sitting crisscross near the head of her queen sized cushion.
"So.. There's this dance coming up at school, and I wanted to know if you wanted to come and, you know, hang or whatever." The boy said, tilting his head towards her, his icy blue eyes showing far more emotion than his tone.
A smile tugged at her lips, a bitter smile, and she scoffed coldly. "You know how they treat me there... I don't think it'd be a logical Idea if I came, but thanks for the invite SC."
He looked a little hurt and disappointed, but his tone was aloof. "Yeah sure... I mean that's ok... It's not like I... you know."
"Thanks for understanding Sour cream... But, I will think about it." Mia said, as Sour cream sat up and bid her farewell.
"It's on like, this Saturday you know, if you change your mind." He said, doing a boy scout salute to her as he walked out of her room and down the many halls before exiting.
Bad childhood memories began to bubble up inside the young diamond. Her few years in a learning institute had been utter torture, and nearly drove her mad. The teasing the name calling, the fights, and the trouble she would get in all to just be seen as a part of a whole, to be seen as a kid.
It's not like she cared what they thought now, she was a Diamond and she was above the rest. So, it didn't matter to her what they thought now, but it still bothered her what they thought then.
SECOND FLASHBACK MODE ACTIVATED!
Mia stood against the brick wall, a smile tugging at her fawn lips, she so desperately wanted to be picked, hopefully put on her friends team. Everyone knew she was strong, stronger than most of the older athletes. But they also knew Mia as a freak. The girl with weird eyes, a rock in her chest, and weird powers.
Her smile faltered as the lines got thinner and thinner, every time they had a chance to pick her they would pass her up.
Finally, the last person was picked for the dodge ball teams, and a large tubby boy, with tousled blonde hair with red lowlights groaned and tossed a beanbag at her, signaling she had been chosen for his team, the blue team.
"Ugh, c'mon Dorito hair. Lets get this over with." He groaned, rolling his eyes.
Mia ran up and stood in the middle of the line, Lars to her far right, and Sour cream to her closest left. The blonde haired boy cracked a sharp toothed smile, pulling his hoody tighter around his waist as they waited for the coach to blow the whistle.
And when he did, there was a cloud of dust kicked up as children struggled to grab balls and hit the opposite team.
Mia already had almost been hit by other balls, many times, most of them a 'rouge' ball from her own team.
But as the balls continued flying and teams continued thinning, one of the rough red rubber balls came sailing towards the blonde's head, hitting with enough force to send her skidding forward into the asphalt.
"Why'd you get in the way of my shot, Dorito brain!?" The blonde and red haired boy shouted angrily.
The Diamond girl stood and brushed the bits of rock from her face, eyes wild with budding anger. "I didn't! You threw that at me intentionally!" She snapped, standing and racing towards him ready to deliver a heated blow.
He beat her to it, sending a fast and harsh blow towards her face which hit her square in the nose. The girl staggered back and clutched her sore nose, withdrawing her hand to see blood covering her dandelion yellow fingerless gloves. "JAX! YOU JERK!" She screeched, sending one blow, with inhuman strength and power, to his jaw, which sent the bully sailing a few yards back.
When the cloud of dust settled, the rude child stood, clutching his jaw in pain and crying, a nasty burn in the shape of her fist located where she had struck him.
"Go see the principal right now you two!" The coach yelled over the commotion, pointing at the two battered children.
Jax stood up painfully, and brushed past the girl, whose temper he had flared, and made his way to the principals office.
That was the day, not Jax got expelled, but Mia, even though she acted in self-defense.
SECOND FLASHBACK MODE DE-ACTIVATED!
Mia sighed and shook her head, that had been almost nine years ago but it still rang fresh in her mind, her nose throbbing with phantom pain.
She stood and looked at herself in the mirror.
She'd changed some, from that little girl. She was of course; taller, but she was also smarter and had better control of her temper. Not to mention she was far more skilled in combat now.
Maybe, just maybe she would go. It might be fun to see what had happened to most her piers. What a shock it might be, a tomboyish girl such as herself, showing up in a dress, linked around Sour Cream's arm. She laughed to herself, yeah that would be a real laugh.
But that thought wasn't so opposing in all honesty. She looked over her form again and then glanced over to her closet in the corner, full of outfits and some of her mothers outfits and armors.
Mia let out a nervous airy laugh, her mind was running with her and she was following, besides, she wasn't even that beautiful, flat chested, boney, thin, and utterly an eye sore to most boys and young men.
She closed her golden eyes and shook her head, rubbish is what she was thinking. Turning on bare heal she walked out of her room and to the helm of the ship, A diamond's work was never done, and if she wanted to go to the dance she would have to get extra work done.
Ok, yeah, a little shorter than normal but it wasn't a bed chapter right? It gives us a glimpse into her past doesn't it? And to who her friends are?
Oh well, what ever. Hope you enjoyed this!
