![]() If she was in any pain, Pink Pearl didn’t show it, she just continued smiling at Rose reassuringly. Rose studied Pink Pearl’s face as she squeezed her gem, checking to see if any cracks appeared on her friend’s face. Rose put her hands on Pink Pearl’s gem, wishing she had her sword as it could poof Pearlie without damaging her gem. “I know you will,” Pink Pearl said softly, putting her hand on Pink’s face, wiping away her tears with her thumb, still smiling. ![]() “I’m going to have to poof you for a little while but afterwards, I will explain everything, I promise.” You shouldn’t, Rose thought bitterly as she touched the side of Pink Pearl’s face, which thankfully had no cracks. “Of course, I do,” Pearlie replied immediately without a trace of hesitation. Only to get Pearl, she would have to lose Pearlie. Nonetheless, at least they could face it together, perhaps figure out a solution to this impossible problem, this unthinkable situation they were somehow thrust into. Granted, Pearl might not know what to do any more than Rose did. All Rose wanted to do was hug her, tell her how sorry she was for not being better, thank her for being a mom to Steven when she couldn’t be, and tell how much she loved her. She had been sent back to thousands of years before the rebellion, before her friends, before Earth, before Steven, before…. (Not that her realization had stopped her from hurting hundreds of other gems.) Unless she missed her guess, she had been sent back to a time just before she broke her pearl, realized just how bad she was and never allowing herself to harm another gem ever again. She had somehow traveled back in time to eight thousand years ago. Or at least not yet,” Rose replied, her head swimming. “Do you want to talk about it?” Pearlie asked gently. She brought up her hand to brush away the fresh tears spilling down Rose’s cheeks, still not understanding why her diamond was crying, but doing her best to comfort her anyway. Pink Pearl just stared at her diamond with a quizzical and concerned expression on her face. STOP IT! I CAN'T DEAL WITH ONE MORE HORRIBLE THING SHE DID, OKAY?! I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT IT! I DON'T EVEN WANT TO THINK ABOUT IT! I JUST. “Pearlie,” she breathed, reaching upwards to touch the non-cracked face of her first pearl. ![]() Her eyes widened when she realized who was standing in front of her. “Pink,” a gentle voice whispered as a hand laid on her shoulder. Rose was torn between feeling pride that her son had changed so much for both the Crystal Gems and Homeworld and devastation knowing that everything he had gone through was all her fault. She had never wanted him to suffer for what she had done, to clean up her messes. How could she have let this happen to him? All she had ever wanted was for Steven to be able to grow and change like she never could, to be human. It was overwhelming, suffocating her as she watched Steven deal with every single consequence of her actions. His memories flew through her head like she was watching a movie. All she cared about was her son, her baby, her Steven was hurting and it was all because of her. She didn’t care what happened or why she was alive. A loud whooshing noise rang in her ears and tears made everything blurry so Rose had no idea if anyone was calling out to her or following her as she made it to her room and collapsed onto her knees, desperately trying to muffle her sobs, not wanting to deal with anyone even if they only wanted to comfort her. Terrified, confused and devastated, Rose fled, running as fast as she could to her own palace. “Starlight, what is the matter with you?” White inquired, a strange note in her voice that sounded almost like concern. Steven! Something had happened to her baby and it was all her fault. “White,” she said shakily, unable to believe her eyes as she struggled to understand what had just happened. “Starlight, did you hear what I just said?” White Diamond demanded, causing Pink Diamond-no Rose Quartz- to stare at her in horror. “These pink outbursts of yours are getting out of control.” Pink Diamond’s Original Pearl | Volleyball.
