Large arms, much larger than Pearl's, surrounded

the young gem, holding her gently, swaying her back and forth as she sobbed into a large gem's chest. She remembered a large pain in her forehead just moments ago, but it was gone now, faded into a dull headache.

"It's okay." The gem spoke quietly. Her voice

was powerful, but held a gentleness and compassion that Yellow Diamond's didn't have.

Peridot glanced up, blinking away the tears,

trying to make out the gem that stood over her. The one that had fixed her gem. Bright light shone from behind her and all she could see was a silhouette with a bit of color on the edges. She was a large gem that towered over Peridot, with long flowing curls

that cascaded over her shoulders. From the little bit of color on the edges, the green gem could tell that they were pink.

"It's okay. Yellow Diamond can't hurt you right

now. I won't let her." She spoke calmly and Peridot could make out a faint smile on her lips.

A smile that filled the green gem with relief.

It was an honest smile of someone who would never lie. Soothing and just a little wistful. It was a smile she knew she could trust.

The smile left her face and the gem's black

eyes looked down worriedly. "You need to rest. A cracked gem is a big deal. I may have fixed it, but you still rest."

Peridot frowned, opening her mouth to argue,

but she knew the gem was right. She was tired and struggling to keep her eyes open as she lowered her gaze.

"You're safe here." The voice of the gem standing

over her and Pearl melded into one. Peridot could hear the comfort and sorrow in both. It was enough to bring a fresh wave of tears to the green gem's eyes, but not tears of sadness or hurt or pain. Tears of joy.

Peridot looked up after the last seconds of

the memory faded and she was left back to just the present to see Pearl with tears of her own. It made Peridot feel surprisingly good. Like she wasn't alone. Carefully, Peridot wrapped her arms around Pearl's waist, returning the hug and burried her head

in the taller gem's chest, letting the the tears fall down her face freely. "I-I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." She spoke quietly

"I know." Pearl whispered. "I forgive you."

The words were gentle and sincere, bringing a smile to the green gem's face.

"Thank you." Peridot replied weakly, the smile

taking over her entire face. She felt happy for once. She didn't have to worry about Yellow Diamond and those memories couldn't hurt her anymore. Maybe things would be okay here on Earth. Maybe everything would work out. The effect the past had had on her

would never leave the green gem completely, but maybe she could make her future better. Her superior couldn't bother her here. She was safe. She was free.

"Come on." Pearl said quietly, slowly breaking

away from the smaller gem. "Let's get your gem fixed up." She extended a hand toward the other gem.

Peridot took the white gem's hand with little hesitation, smiling up at the taller gem thankfully. Yes, things would

be better here. Things would be better now. She could be happy here, among these gems. Finally, she could be happy.
