She started the morning just the same as always. Out of bed, yawn, grab a new change of the same outfit 'no use in change when what you has is perfect' she thought, a towel and toiletries and into the bathroom. There she turned the knobs on the shower starting the water flow, then continued to undress daintily, toss the clothes into a nearby laundry basket, and slip into the warm water to wake up her drowsy body. After getting cleaned up for the day, she dried off and slipped into the change of clothes, trotting to her bed and made it all neat, like always. As she was finishing the last fold of the sheets, a knock startled her.

"Come in!" She stood upright and turned to face the newcomer. In walked the most muscular of the group; a tall woman of about 7 feet whom always has a calm and melancholy mannerism about her. They stood in silence for a few moments until the smaller of the two cleared her throat.

"Are the others awake yet?" Pearl questioned, a tone about her that Garnet couldn't quite place.

"They are," she replied, her lips resting in the same angle they're always at, "though Steven wanted to go collect seashells while the tide hasn't washed all the good ones away yet."she finished, an awkward silence taking over the room once more.

"Then I should go make breakfast for him, he'll be hungry when he's done. Oh do you think Amethyst would like some food too?" Pearl made her way to the door of her room to start cooking but was blocked off my Garnets form. When she didn't budge after Pearl attempted getting past again, she gave the tall gem a puzzled look.

"Pearl, you know quite a bit about portraying emotions and all that worldly stuff, right?" Garnet faced down at the pale gem.

"Why yes, I suppose I know a good amount... Why? Is there something you needed to know?" Pearl took a step back to get a better look at the darker woman in front of her. There was a pause...

"Well, I was wondering how-..." Garment was cut off as Amethyst and Steven ran through Pearl's door, Amethyst chasing after Steven with a live crab held above her head. The two younger gems ran circles around Garnet and Pearl and when Pearltried to get them to calm down, they laughter from the short gems sounded over her voice making it very inaudible. Pearl sighed and before she could move, garnet's voice echoed through the room.

"I'm going to start breakfast," and with that the tall gem turned to exit.

"Great! I'm starving!" Amethyst looked at when Garnet had just been and followed suit. Steven stayed after to say good morning to Pearl and then ran right after the purple girl. Pearl sighed again and followed him out to where Garnet was in the middle of cracking an egg into a piping hot pan. She took a seat next to The two young gems and zoned out while Steven began to show her all of their morning findings. A few seconds later, Amethyst was snapping right in front of her eyes; she was brought out of her little moment. Blinking the confusion from her eyes and turning to the smaller gem, she was given a raised eyebrow.

"What was that?" Pearl cocked her head, not knowing why she was getting such a look. Amethyst responded by leaning in close to her ear and whispered.

"Take a picture next time, save yourself the embarrassment." Pearl immediately pulled away and gave her a look you'd get from a freshly caught fish.

"I don't know what you're tal-" with that, Garnet carried four plates to the table and set them down one at a time in front of each of them. When she placed Pearl's down in front of her, the pale girl could not have given Garnet a bigger smile. It was a smile so big that it crinkled the edges of her eyes and scrunched up her nose. Amethyst tapped on the table to bring Pearl back down from whatever planet she just warped to. With a cough, they all began eating; Pearl with her head down to focus only on the plate as her cheeks continued to get a deep, dark blue. 'This is going to be a long day...'

She started the morning just the same as always...
