Verity starts laughing happily, her arms wrap around Pearl's waist as she hugs Pearl. Pearl's eyes glisten as tears come to her eyes as she looks down at Verity. She begins to giggle then laugh as she hugs the pink sapphire back. Pearl lifts Verity into the air and spins them around. When they stop, Pearl sets Verity down and kneels in front of her. Smiling, Pearl brushes Verity's bangs to the side to look at her eye.
"Verity, where have you been all this time? I tried looking for you after what happened with Pink but I couldn't find you."
Steven steps closer to them, "Pearl, you know her? Is there anyone you don't know?"
Pearl stands up and looks at Steven, "Steven, this is Verity. She was Pink Diamond's Sapphire."
"Pink? Where is she?" Verity looks up at Pearl, who looks pained to say something. Steven is the one to speak up,
"She's gone. She faked her shattering and reformed to become Rose Quartz. She gave up that form to create a new life: me. I have her gem but she doesn't exist anymore. I'm sorry."
Verity collapses to the floor, "She's gone? I didn't know she faked her shattering. No one told me anything." She starts to sniffle, "My D-Diamond! NOO!" She pounds her hands against the floor in rage and sorrow. Suddenly ice shards shoot out of the floor when it coats in pink ice. Pearl and Steven jump out of the way before Garnet stands and walks over to Verity, breaking a few of the shards and kneels in front of her.
"I know it's painful now, but you will get through this."
Tears streak down Verity's face, "She s-saved my life from getting shattered. All this time, I was t-thinking that Pink would rescue me, b-but Pink doesn't exist now. I suffered alone for so long while no one knew where I was!"
Pearl goes back to Verity gently gets her off the floor and hugs her, Verity's eye widens in surprise. More tears welling up in her eye. She wraps her arms around Pearl and cries into her shoulder.
