Steven listened closely to every word Pearl spoke that night. When Steven asked her about Zircon her face lit up.
"Zircon and Lapis where sisters, they were not your usual sisters though, they did not get a long most of the time they are together. They would fight about stupid things, mostly personal space." Pearl said briefly pausing after the word space. She sat down on the water tower.
"It's been a long time since I've heard that word." She whispered. They spent the next two minutes in silent. Then Pearl got up.
"When I met Zircon, the other gems I befriended, Sapphire and Turquoise, they said that Zircon's state of mind aged when she found out that Lapis was gone.
"Into the mirror, right?" Steven asked hoping he was right so he wouldn't find out anymore-gruesome details of Lapis' past. Thankfully Pearl nodded.
"Anything else you want to know?" Pearl asked she hoped Steven did because it felt good to recount her past. Steven nodded.
"List the blue gems." Pearl sighed she looked at Steven longingly. Steven could tell she really missed Rose. Steven wished he got to know her better too. Pearl cleared her throat.
"Well, there is Sapphire, Lapis, Zircon, Aquamarine, Topaz, Turquoise, Amethyst, Boriana, Tanzanite, I, and that traitor Moonstone!" Pearl looked furious. But then her expression softens.
"At least one good thing came out of that mess, I met Rose."
"Can you tell me about Moonstone? For one last birthday wish?" Steven said hoping this would be an awesome adventure story. Pearl rolled her eyes.
"I suppose so, Moonstone was one of the newest members, and about 100 years old too be exact. She was close with the commanders of the fleet. But the day they needed all the gems to do their work she betrayed everyone. She fled to home world. And I heard she's the star commander just because of the little stunt she pulled." Pearl said drawing out her spear and cleaning it.
"Now Steven it's time to go to sleep, Garnet will get really mad if she sees you up at this time!" Pearl said leading Steven outside of the gem room.
"Goodnight Pearl!" Steven said as he snuggled into bed thinking about how heroic Pearl was.
