Blue Diamond ran down a long, curving corridor of the Human Zoo, her Pearl following suit as fast as she could—for her Diamond was far larger than she could ever hope to be—in hopes of reaching the room where Pink Diamond's Gems were held, hoping no harm had yet to come to them. She eventually reached the door that lead to the room, and with a smile on her face, Blue Diamond did a quick gesture with her hands and the doors opened, and she entered the room to check up on her late colleagues precious Gems… But that's when Blue Diamond saw something she wished she could erase from her memory completely. That's when Blue Diamond saw something she hoped she'd never have to see. It was something that the giant Gem wished she could've avoided seeing, something she didn't want to lay her eyes upon. But she had no choice but to lay her eyes upon it, whether she wanted to or not. Her Pearl, too, wished that she didn't have to see what she was seeing right now, but knew that there was no turning back.
They were laying their eyes upon a magnificent being; it was a being who was far giant and majestic in stature than the already giant and majestic Blue Diamond. It bore the appearance of a beautiful woman, with hair that flared up like it was a ball of fire, and she was dressed in a long, flowing outfit that sparkled and shimmered as brightly as the starts of the night sky, and situated on her forehead was a small, geometric shape that also sparkled and shimmered like a star in the sky. And while the gargantuan woman was beautiful in every way, from her appearance to what she wore, there was one thing about her that caused Blue Diamond to fall to the floor, and once again cower in complete and utter fear. It was something that caused tears to once again well up in her big, beautiful eyes. It was something that made her knew that all hope was completely lost:
Everything that made up the giant woman before her—her hair, her eyes, her dress, and even her forehead—was completely white like a piece of paper. Completely stark white, like the petals of a flower, or the shell of an egg. To Blue Diamond it was terrifying, to see the absolute absence of color in the being she saw before her. There was no blue, yellow, or pink to be seen in the gargantuan woman…just a bright, spotless, sparkling white. It was unnerving. It was unnatural. It was like the woman was something that was too otherworldly to be true. But no, Blue Diamond knew that she was very much real and was standing right in front of her…and she knew her fated was completely sealed.
"Now, now, Blue," the giant woman said, her voice light, beautiful, yet scarily monotonic. "Is that any way to carry yourself?"
Blue Diamond broke from her trance, and hurriedly got up from the floor, stood up straight, and—albeit reluctantly—crossed her arms and formed a diamond shape with her hands.
"F-Forgive me, White...White Diamond," Blue said.
"What was that?" White Diamond inquired.
"Oh! U-Um, I meant... Forgive me, my... m-my... My Diamond."
"That's better. Now..."
With a faint motioning of her stark white hand, the bubbled gems began to circle around the pink room once more.
"I was told you've been having some trouble letting all of this go," White Diamond said. "Is this true?"
Blue Diamond looked down at her Pearl, who was standing completely still like a statue, as usual.
"Y-Yes, my Diamond," Blue Diamond said reluctantly.
"I see," White Diamond said.
With another faint motioning of her hand, the gems stopped in place. White Diamond lifted her hand up, and a sole gem floated towards her, she gave the pink bubble a poke with her massive yet dainty finger, and it dissipated into nothing, and held the gem that was inside the bubble in-between her fingers. Blue Diamond opened her mouth to say something, but decided against it, knowing it would undoubtedly be the last thing she'd ever do.
"Tell me, Blue," the gargantuan Gem said. "How do you think she would respond if I were to do...THIS?"
White Diamond gave the gem in-between her fingers a simple squeeze...and in an instant the poor gem shattered into thousands upon millions of pieces. And that's all it took for Blue Diamond to finally lose it, for she let out a blood-curdling yell that echoed throughout the room, and lunged her entire being at the gargantuan Gem before her. But alas, all White Diamond had to do was snatch Blue Diamond up with her giant white hand. The blue Gem was now trapped in White Diamond's grasp, her grip so strong that Blue wasn't escaping it any time soon. The blue Pearl, as usual, didn't move an inch...but deep down she realized that all was lost.
"This behavior of yours is incredibly disappointing," White Diamond said. "Look at you—your gem's been cracked, your yelling and acting like your some...primitive creature... I've done so much for this empire of ours, and here you are, willing to throw all we've worked for away...to save a long shattered gem."
Blue Diamond scowled. White Diamond smirked.
"Come and take a look, Pearl," White Diamond said. "Come and take a look at everything a Gem isn't supposed to be."
From behind White Diamond sprang up a tiny Pearl, who hopped from behind her master onto her shoulder, and then jumped across her arm onto the hand she was holding Blue Diamond. Much like her master, everything that was one this Pearl's person was white; her hair, her skin, her clothes, her eyes...everything that was her being was just a lifeless and glistening white. Compared with Blue's Pearl, who was a somber, depressing, yet lively and charming shade of that very color...and the blue Pearl knew it, for she broke her usual statue-like posture to stare long and hard at the white Pearl, sneering all the while. But the white Pearl didn't notice, for she was too busy looking Blue Diamond straight in the eye.
"You are correct, my Diamond," the white Pearl said, "she is a rather...dirty-looking thing."
Blue Diamond sneered at the white Pearl, who gave the blue Gem a nasty little smirk.
"Just look at her gem, my Diamond," the white Pearl said, pointing at Blue Diamond's gem in her chest as bit were continuing to flake away from it. "What a ghastly thing, letting herself go like this... And to think that stupid little thing down there actually feels good answering to you...pathetic."
The blue Pearl from down below gritted her teeth. White Diamond gave another little gesture to the white Pearl, and she formed a diamond formation with her hands and hopped away back into the background.
"Anyway," White Diamond said, "if isn't obvious enough for you already, I do believe it's time for you to let all of this silliness go, Blue."
"...H-How?" Blue Diamond asked, White Diamond's tight grip on her body causing her to cough. "How can y-you just...s-say that like her death was...n-nothing?"
"I take it weeping and moaning for the next five-thousands years is the more appropriate response, then?"
"S-She... She was YOUR creation. H-How...How can you be so c-careless about this!?"
White Diamond rolled her giant, milky white eyes, and threw Blue Diamond onto the floor. Shards of her gem scattered around the pink floor, which was enough for her blue Pearl to break her usual indifferent countenance and gasp in horror. The white Pearl was in the background, giggling under her breath, but was loud enough for the blue Pearl to hear. She took a bold step forward, but Blue Diamond put her hand in the way, stopping her Pearl before she wound up doing something uncharacteristically stupid.
"She was weak, Blue," White Diamond said, towering over both Blue Diamond and her Pearl. "No Diamond of mine would let herself get shattered by a lowly Rose Quartz."
"...She was my c-colleague, my...f-friend," Blue Diamond said, getting up from the floor. "T-These Gems...they're all I have to...r-remember her by... W-Why can you not u-understand that?"
White Diamond cackled.
"Are you listening to this, Pearl?" White Diamond asked.
"Indeed I am, my Diamond," her Pearl replied from the background. "It would seem she still refuses to look at the bigger picture."
"At first I thought Yellow was wasting her time calling me over here..."
White Diamond crept closer to Blue.
"But now I realize that she did more than the right thing."
The gargantuan Diamond started to creep even closer. Blue didn't move an inch.
"...But I am not unkind," she said, "which is why I've decided to present an offer of my own to you instead."
Blue Diamond raised an eyebrow.
"What k-kind of an offer...my Diamond?" Blue Diamond asked.
White Diamond snickered.
"These Gems, this zoo, those humans and other Quartz soldiers...I will allow them all to live," White Diamond said, "I will leave each and every one of them untouched, now and forever. ...But only on one condition."
"...What?" Blue Diamond asked.
White Diamond bent down to Blue Diamond's eye level, her glistening white skin so bright and close to Blue Diamond she nearly went blind.
"I will erase your mind of Pink Diamond," White Diamond said.
Blue's eyes widened.
"From your clearest thought to your foggiest memory, I will empty your mind of her completely," White Diamond said. "You will forget everything about her; every moment you shared with her, every word you exchanged with her...even the day she was shattered. I will cleanse your mind of everything pertaining to her, and once I've finished you won't remember anything, not even her name."
"And if I refuse?" Blue asked.
The white Gem grinned.
"I'm certain you know exactly what I'll do if you refuse," White Diamond said. "So...which will it be?"
Blue Diamond looked down at her Pearl, who long since returned to her usual statue-like posture. But on closer inspection Blue knew her Pearl was once again on the verge of completing breaking, and Blue couldn't blame her in the slightest. She directed her gaze at the background, where White Diamond's Pearl was casually sitting down with her legs crossed, snickering all the while at Blue's misery. And then she looked White Diamond straight in her large, lifeless, milky white eyes; she stared at the massive Gem for what seemed like hours, contemplating on what to tell her: Let her erase her mind of Pink Diamond, or have her solve the problem in her own, twisted way. Blue Diamond clenched her chest, her Gem still cracked and shards still flaking of from it...
And with look of pure confidence on her face...and, of course, a couple of tears escaping her big, lovely eyes, Blue Diamond looked White Diamond straight in the eyes and said...
