Ok, so this is my first fic that I've posted online, so sorry for any mistakes. I was inspired by a fic that's now been taken off, called Out of this world, in which Steven gets taken into space instead of Greg. I've always wondered what Blue Diamond's reaction would be to Steven would be like, and this story would come to mind. By the way, Steven is about five when this story starts. Anyways, I own no characters or songs in this fic, that goes to the creators.

"Oh pink, why did it have to be you, why was it you who had to pay the price?" wallowed Blue diamond. Ever since the war, Blue hasn't stopped mourning her fellow diamonds death, even after 5,000 years had passed. She remains a leader, but not the strong leader a diamond should be. Most of the time she directs all here orders to her pearl, the only one, besides her fellow diamonds, who has seen her cry. She could never explain her feelings to her pearl though; she was the most stoic gem in her court, she could never relate.

So, whenever the pain inside built up, she would travel to earth to one of her sights, the spires, kindergartens, e.t.c, just so she could remember they days she was there to comfort her. All this usually did though was make her feel worse.

"I come here to your palanquin, hoping that some part of you still hears my cries. Everyone I turn to tells me to move on, but I can never do that, knowing your gone forever. You were there to support us in all our endeavors, blessing each of our colonies with your gift of life. All our gems thrived thanks to you. And when you finally had a planet all of your own to use, your gems, your very creations turned against you, fought you, SHATTERD YOU!" She cried to the skies with that last line. Not a day has passed that she hasn't thought of Pink diamond, her untimely demise, and what they had to do to ensure no one else met the same fate.

"But even after all that, I can never hate this place. You loved the earth, the potential it had to benefit our kind, even when hope seemed lost. I could never find any hate for earth, for to hate the earth is to hate everything that you stand for. But now we've lost sight of that. Our kind is dwindling away, our powers are waning, our proud culture lost and crushed, and our authority, divided. Without you, we remain as shattered as your shards. Please, I beg of you, answer me." She begins to lose focus as the tears just flow in. "Give me a sign that you're here, a sign of hope for our kind."

Blue diamond just cried more as she barely manages to whimper out that last part. She has repeated that prayer for nearly six centuries, and every time it has gone completely unanswered. Maybe yellow diamond was right. This was getting her nowhere. Perhaps it was time to destroy the earth. At the very least, she would stop getting so distracted by how much of Pink diamond was there.

Before she could walk back to her ship, she heard a faint rustle. She turns around, only to see a bush. She stares for a second, only to find a sound that she was far too familiar with, a sound of sorrow. And it all came from the bush. Could it be that someone came to mourn pink diamond too? A gem that managed to survive the corruption.? She leans over and gently moves the leaves of the bush. What she saw was unexpected.

A human, young, male from what she could observe, and smaller than the carnelian at the zoo. He had a bushy set of curly brown hair, and was wearing something pink and yellow that clearly was too big for his body. In his hands was a small light brown object with a peculiar shape. What really caught her attention though was the fact that he had tears pouring out of his eyes like a river down a current. Though when she looked closer, she saw that, while there were bits of sadness on his face, it didn't really look like he was crying. In fact, now that she thought about it, it looked as if her tears had somehow become his own.

The human itself didn't notice the towering blue figure above him, until he noticed that the sun wasn't shining on him. He looked up, and saw blue diamond inspecting him. She expected him to be running in fear, but after a very brief moment of fear on his face, he looked up to her to say something.

"W-what a-a-are you doing" he said in a small but clear tone.

"Why are you crying, young one" she spoke in a soft voice.

"I-I rea-ll-y don't know" he manages to squeak out. "I found m—myself all suddenly all sad. Then I see you crying to your friend pink, and that made me sad. No one so pretty should be so sad."

Blue's face slightly soften at that. She would often hear such compliments from here subjects, but she knew that was out of obligation. She couldn't explain it, but just hearing this come from him, she felt the sincerity come from him.

"Did that pally-queen belong to your friend, to Pink" he asked curiously.

"Yes." She said, feeling somber at the mention of her name. "To pink diamond. It belonged to her, as did the earth itself. She risked it all to save it for our kind. But now, those efforts were in vain, and her legacy soon to be gone" Not being able to hold it in anymore, she just fell apart. "I-I try to be strong for her, but I can't, when I know I'll never see her again.

Steven watches as the diamond tries to recollect herself. "She's really sad, she lost someone. Maybe, maybe I can help" He thought before he speaks up.

"I-I know what it's like to lose people you love" He states.

Blue diamond freezes at this statement. Her intrigue with the human now grew. How could a human of all things, now the thoughts and feelings of a diamond?

"Really, how?" she says with the utmost curiosity.

"My mother, the one who gave me life, is gone too. My family say that she "gave up he physical form to make me", I don't k ow what that means, but I know enough to know I'll never see her".

Blue diamond was taken back. She didn't expect such a sad tale to come out. The fact that he didn't seem to grasp the concept made it all the more somber to hear

"How do you cope with it, how do you find peace with it?' She sobs.

"Well, I know that she loved me enough to give me life, and I give back that love by being happy for her. Cause every time I'm happy, I imagine its her loving me back. Do you have happy memories of pink?

"Yes"

"Then that's what she has left you, happiness. If you always be happy when you think of her, than she'll always be apart of yoU". Steven stops his surprisingly deep speech to take out his ukulele. "That's what I needed for my song" he shouts as he begins to play.

If I could, begin to be

Half of what you think of me

I could do about anything,

I could even learn how to love

As he continued his song, Blue just lit up. Not only did this human know what he was going through, he knew how to deal with it better that she did. And hearing that song , she realized that this being was truly something else. Before she could say something, she noticed from underneath his shirt a bright pink glow, and when got closer, she saw a gem, a bright pink gem.

A rose quartz.

She was taken back. "But, but you, aren't you human?"

"Steven looks down before explaining" oh , you mean this, well my mother passed this down to me before she left, so I guess I'm a gem-human".

The diamond was having trouble processing this. A gem, on a human?! That was impossible, unimaginable, yet when she looked at him, a human, a creature that was dust compare to a diamond, yet spoke with just as much wisdom and strength. She saw something amazing, something to believe in. Oh, pink diamond would have loved to meet such a creature form her work, her legacy.

Her legacy.

Blue thought for a minute. The cluster wouldn't arrive for a little less than a decade or so, but still, this boy didn't deserve to perish, especially when he carries the most important part of her work.

"What's your name, little quartz?

"Steven universe" He said prouldly.

"Steven" She smiled, that name was simple, but charming "Your home won't be here for long, would you like to come with me" She stretches out her hand with hope.

Steven, who was always eager to go somewhere new and also excited at seeing a hand that big, jumps on."Yes!" he shouts for joy.

As she walks back, now with a human in hand, she could only think of one thing.

"Thank you, pink".
