Standing in the middle of the throne room, Steven Universe is chatting with Blue Pearl and Yellow Pearl while the rest of the Diamonds are looking over their now liberated colonies.
"So, what are you two planning on doing now you're free to do what you want."
Blue pearl opens her holographic panel as she swipes through her drawing. "I was thinking of taking your suggestion and draw." Blue Pearl says calmly.
"That sounds great Pearl! Maybe you could come to Earth and draw some stuff there!"
"That would be nice…"
Steven turns to Yellow Pearl, "What about you? Do you have any plans for the future?"
Yellow stands there, her back straightened with her hands behind her. "I'm not sure at the moment. I've been serving my Diamond for so long. I don't know what I want to do."
"That's good too! You can try anything you want to do and figure stuff out." Steven looks behind him he felt one of the Diamonds stand up. Yellow stands up from her throne and Yellow Pearl immediately salutes Yellow Diamond, who responds by lifting her hand to Yellow Pearl as a sign to stop.
"What's up Yellow?" Steven smiles at Yellow Diamond.
Yellow Diamond kneels down to be closer to Steven's height. "Steven, I have received word that Peridots are coming to the palace to do maintenance on the warp pad here. So, if you want to get back to Earth today you have to use Pink's old warp."
Steven gives Yellow a thumbs up, "Alright, that's fine. Speaking of Earth, I should probably head back now. Lars and I are having dinner with the Off-colors tonight."
Blue Diamond hears this and stops what she was doing, standing up and comes over to Steven. "Steven! You're leaving already?" Blue scoops up Steven and presses him against her cheek. "It feels like you just got here…" Steven chuckles a bit nervously.
"I'll come back Blue."
Yellow Diamond looks at Blue with a pan stare. "Blue, you're swishing him." Blue realizes what she's doing and gently puts Steven down.
"I'm sorry. We just don't get to see you that often."
"I'll come back and visit again. I need to look over the construction of Little Homeworld back on Earth." Steven says before looking to Yellow Diamond and lifts his fist up for a fist bump. Yellow gives him a confused look as she takes her index finger and touches Steven's hand. "We'll keep working on that, Yellow. See ya, White."
White Diamond looks up from her holographic reports, obviously tuned out from what was happening. "What? Oh, have a safe trip, Steven."
"Okay... Well, bye!" Steven puts his hands in his pockets and turns to leave the palace.
Humming to himself, Steven makes his way to Pink's old room, deciding to walk instead of jumping because the last time he was running around on Homeworld was the trial about Pink Diamond. In the distance, shouting could be heard which catches Steven's attention.
"What's going on?" Steven questions to himself before going towards the noise. A pink blur zooms past him, which makes him take a step back for a second in surprise. He decides to follow the blur, hearing voices behind him.
"I'm sure she went this way!" Red Crazy Lace Quartz yells from behind Steven.
He stops when he loses track of the gem, he turns around when he hears foots steps behind him. Two quartzes stop in front of him, Red Crazy Lace Quartz and a Green Jasper. Upon seeing Steven, the two quartzes both salute Steven with the Diamond symbol.
"Pink Diamond! We were unaware of your presence on Homeworld."
Steven nervously laughs as he holds up a hand. "There's no need to salute, and it's Steven. What is going on?"
"We're under orders to apprehend a dangerous gem that escaped in the area. It should not concern you my Diamond. We are tracking her now and she will be captured soon." The Green Jasper speaks to Steven. "But I should warn you to stay away from the area to ensure your safety."
"I-I'll keep that in mind. I haven't seen anything around here." Steven tries to look around nonchalantly, trying to see if there are any other gems around.
The two quartzes both bow to Steven, "Thank-you, my Diamond." They go down a corridor and Steven facepalms with a sigh.
"It'sSteven…." He turns around and starting heading to the warp, but when he takes a step a soft voice speaks to him from one of the caverns.
"You lied to them. You saw me."
"Huh? Who's there?" Steven looks around him.
"You saw me and you lied to them." Steven sees a pink head peek out from behind a rock, where the voice is coming from.
"Who are you?" Steven questions calmly. "Are you the gem that they were talking about? I'm not gonna hurt you."
Upon hearing that the pink gem comes out to meet Steven; her hair is bright pink, bangs covering her face. Her dusty pink ballgown reaches the floor with a sweetheart bodice and a heart design in the front. Her pink gem is placed in the center of her abdomen, triangle in the gem which shows that she is a Sapphire.
"A-a Pink Sapphire? How are you a "Dangerous Gem"?" Steven looks at her with a puzzled expression.
Pink Sapphire shakes her head as she folds her hands in front of her. "I am not Dangerous. I escaped because I was imprisoned for being made wrong."
"You're an off-color?"
Pink Sapphire steps closer to Steven who stiffens up for a second. "You said your name is Steven, but they said, 'Pink Diamond'. Where is my Diamond?"
