Peridot's POV
The day had finally ended, but Peridot was still spending time with Lapis. Together they laid on the grass watching the stars with their pet pumpkin. It had been a long day for both of them, they had finished planting the seeds for there farm.
Last year was so successful, they had even had a harvest dinner with Steven's uncle. Looking at the stars on Earth made Peridot feel at ease, speciality with Lapis. "Isn't a beautiful night, Lapis?" Peridot asked, turning her head to see Lapis to her right.
Lapis nodded. "I think it's wonderful, though it's so much more peaceful to see them from earth," she replied, her answer made Peridot smile. I bet Steven and those Crystal Gems would love these stars as much as me and Lapis.
Suddenly the sound of the warp pad made her jump up in surprise to see Pearl, Amethyst, and Garnet. She looked harder to see if Steven was with them, but he wasn' could see that something was wrong, both Pearl and Amethyst looked upset about something. It was hard to make out what Garnet might be feeling.
"Hey guys...what brings you here?" Peridot asked as Lapis got up from behind her and both of them walked towards them. Pearl went up to Peridot, looking quite upset about something.
She was about to ask Pearl, but was instead knocked off to the ground by a punch of Pearl's fist. "Pearl, stop this! This won't solve our current problem," Garnet shouted, clearly irritated.
Lapis looked at Pearl shocked and confused as Peridot looked up at Pearl in fear. "Pearl...What's the meaning of this? I haven't done anything wrong!"
Pearl pulled out her spear from the glow of her gem, Peral's tears were falling from her eyes. "After all these long months I thought you had finally become someone we could trust, but I should have never gave my trust to you so easily," she said angrily.
"You gave Homeworld that stupid list of human names! Steven risked his life to save them. It's all your fault that he's gone," she blurted out loud. Peridot looked at Pearl, horrified. "Steven...was taken by Homeworld?!"
Just the mention of the home she used to care about made her remember so many months ago when she had met Steven for the first time. It wasn't really eye to eye, since she was taking to him though advanced gem technology.
She remembered asking him about if there were other Stevens like himself.
He had told him the other human names, she soon after gave the list she had written herself to Yellow Dimond before heading off to earth with Jasper and Lapis as there prisoner to destroy the Crystal Gems.
Peridot could feel a sharp pain of agony in her chest, making it hard for her to find her voice.
It seamed that all the memories of the past had came back to her, painful ones of what she knew she did before realizing of a life she could have without the law of the diamonds chaining her down.
"It's my fault, I never wanted this to happened to him," she whimpered, as tears fell from her eyes behind her visor. She clutched her head both in horror and terror of what Pearl might due to her.
"Pearl, stop this madness! What's gotten into you?" Lapis asked Pearl, trying to stop her from doing something that she might regret later. As she was trying to stall Pearl. Peridot was still questioning herself.
Why was I the way I was back then? Maybe if I hadn't given that list to Yellow Diamond, you would still be here. "What is the point of this fighting? We have to save-," Lapis was about to continue but was knocked to the ground by the swipe of Pearl's spear.
Pearl walked up to Peridot with a spear in hand.
"Peri, run!" Amethyst shouted though she ignored her cries because she was still in shock. Amethyst kept trying, Peridot did not answer. Pearl was about to strike with her spear and poof Peridot, she knew she was ready for what was coming.
But the blow never came, she looked up in surprise to see Pearl's spear had been stopped by Garnet and Amethyst just in time. "Pearl, stop this! What Peridot did in the past doesn't matter now, she is one of us. It's the future that matters now, we need to put our pasts and differences behind us," Garnet said.
"We'll need Peridot and Lapis to help us if we want to save Steven". Pearl's spear soon disappeared into the air and wiped her tears away with her hand.
"I guess your right, I was foolish to blame Peridot for everything that has happened to us. It's just that...I wasn't myself after Steven was taken away" she finally said slumping down to her knees.
Everyone gathered around Pearl, giving her a comforting hug. Peridot hesitated for a few moments before finally being able clear her regrets from her mind and joined the rest of them.
Though tears still fell, Peridot knew that she would do her best to help save Steven.
