Chapter 1: Something Entirely New

I remembered. That day so clearly, almost like it was the true first day of my existence...all days before it...let's just say that as if they were just another cycle added to other one by one; making all those years fold into each other as one...long...continuous day. I remembered my years of service well, but the details of those individual years were so similar to one another that...they blurred into each other.

But the details of when the rebels attacked and the fusion appearing before me...it truly started as any other. A new colony, a young hydrogen oxygen terrain based planet in the fourth quadrant galaxy, was a bright prospective for Homeworld. From what I heard from the Court, this planet was filled with rich nutrient soils and a boiling molten core perfect for our Kindergartens.

However, my Mistress, Blue Diamond, and I weren't sent from Homeworld for matters like colony progress. That was Yellow Diamond's realm of responsibility. My Mistress and the Court would only visit the colony planets for diplomatic matters like negotiation with the local intelligent life forms or settle peace among Gem Duty Fractions.

The news of the small rebellion may have caused gossip among the Court, but My Mistress was not worried in the slightest. Her serene face never falter during our journey to the small planet. I have traveled to a hundred, perhaps even two hundred planets with My Mistress. All planets from afar looked the same, her faith and confidence was always steady and straight forth, and her face as still as darkness itself.

Truly, Gems did not lie when they said that this planet was small and young. It almost looked...innocent. Pure. Untouched by intelligent life. A very easy and desirable conquest for us, and yet...why was My Mistress bringing the rare Sapphire? She was just created not too long ago, she was inexperienced with travels and diplomatic matters of the colony. But more importantly, if this small rebellion was no such threat to us then...why do we need the psychic abilities of the rare Sapphire? If My Mistress so certain, then why...?

Back then, I tried to subdue these thoughts and let them disappear in the back of my mind. After all, Blue Diamond always knew what to do. She was...the leader of peace and harmonious dialogue. Her actions were always the good of the colonies, the good of us all. She had her reasons, no matter how mysterious they seemed to be.

The rare Sapphire had three Rubies with her. Two of the guards were perfectly brutish and ready for battle as programmed, however one of them stood out to me for some reason. She was strangely calmer than the other two. She had the stability and rationale of a commander, but she didn't earned enough respect from her comrades to earn the title.

We arrived at the new colony promptly. With each visit, I see the new towers, temples, and facilities; but never...the planet itself. My Mistress was never interested in such matters, and she shouldn't be...based on what I knew then. The Court settled smoothly in the Cloud Arena...once they stopped complaining about the living conditions they suffered through the journey. Of course, their complaints came in the form of refined whispers from the sides of their lips. Yet they sang praises of this so called unacceptable journey when in the presence of My Mistress. It seems that the Court will never learn; empty flattery doesn't amuse My Mistress in the slightest. Then again, any form of a compliment...or conversation...
was just noise for her. She didn't care for any of it and she didn't want to care about it. Gems of the Court would find it hard to believe, but...there were times when I knew more about Blue Diamond then they did.

There were times when I knew more about her than myself. But...to a Pearl...this was a good sign. It meant following one's program perfectly. Who we as Pearls are defined by the nature of our Mistress and how well we knew of our Mistress. We were also defined by the status of our Mistress. I was a Diamond's Pearl, a superior to the rest of the Pearls. I was what every Pearl dreamed to be. Everything that I had...they wanted. So...I was the perfect Pearl then, which meant that...I should have been completely satisfied.

My Mistress and I waited for the requested presence of the rare Sapphire. Under my patient facade, I actually was anxious. It was strange, usually the words of other gems meant nothing to me. It meant nothing because their words eventually become blurry faded details of my memory. I shouldn't care what this Sapphire says. I shouldn't be anxious and excited. I shouldn't draw attention to myself because...the attention as always is on My Mistress. She was important, not I. Her feelings...or rather...her opinion and thoughts mattered greater than mine.

"My Diamond," The rare Sapphire proclaimed, entering into the private curtained space of My Mistress, "I have arrived."

I clenched my fists slightly into my chest. I used all my will to not let my anxiety crack past my facade. My grip did not lessen when Blue Diamond spoke:

"Sapphire, tell me what will happen here?"

My attention returned back to Sapphire. She told My Mistress, "I foresee the rebels attacking the Cloud Arena. Before they are cornered, the rebels will destroy the physical forms of seven gems...including two of my ruby guards and myself."

I turned my gaze slightly up towards My Mistress, to see what her reaction would be to this future. Despite her cloak, I was able to see her shadowed eyes clearly. Her eyes looked tranquil as always, but yet deeply focused on the rare Sapphire.

"Immediately after my physical form is destroyed," the rare Sapphire continued, "the rebels will be captured."

I turned my gaze back at the rare Sapphire, just to catch a glimpse of her reaction to this future. Predictable as it may be, with a rebellion as small as this, her physical form would be sacrificed in this future. Usually, Blue Diamond's Court members have some kind of reaction to the lose of their physical forms. They took great pride and care in their appearance, just the thought of it even scratched would appall them. They thought themselves high above any action involved labor and fighting; therefore, if their physical form reflected any contact with such matters...the other aristocrats would judge them harshly.

And yet...I did not receive such a reaction from her. But rather, I gained a sense of her accepting her fate like a loyal soldier. She truly was a rare Sapphire indeed, accepting her fate no matter un-fitting it may seem to be for her circumstance.

"The rebellion ends here." The rare Sapphire finished.

"Thank you Sapphire," My Mistress said strangely relieved, "that's all that I needed to know."

"I look forward to speaking with you again once I reform back on Homeworld."

She curtsied to My Mistress before leaving us and returning to her Rubies. My mind became overwhelmed with even more questions before. Why did My Mistress sound so relieved after receiving the prediction from the rare Sapphire? The future assured the end of the rebellion, a task manageable from the beginning. My Mistress showed me signs of a straight and narrow path to peace before arriving to this planet, and yet now, she showed relief from some kind of doubt. What was going on?

In order to ease myself, I told myself that it was unsuitable for me to ask such questions. As a Pearl, it was my duty to not question My Diamond. But to support her whenever she commands me to do so. I even asked myself why I was asking myself these questions in the first place. I hadn't before for any other journey to a colony, so why now? At the time, I didn't have a direct answer.

I then distracted myself with the sight of the rare Sapphire. She seemed to be talking, ever so quietly to the Ruby next to her. As I squinted, I realized that this was the calmer Ruby she was talking to. This distraction seemed to work, for soon my anxiety faded when I focused on those two gems. Specifically, at the way the rare Sapphire smiled ever so slightly and the way the Ruby looked at her when she smiled. Something drew me close to them. Something about them made the tension in my body relax and feel as though...I was floating. Temporarily, I forgot the presence of My Mistress and the rest of The Court. My gem felt so warm...

Suddenly, the rare Sapphire's prediction came true. The rebels attacked with full force. There was two of them and they called themselves the Crystal Gems. At the time, I was caught off guard and almost lost balance off of My Mistress's Gazebo-Sect. I didn't catch a glimpse of the rebels as My Mistress and I took cover towards the other side of the Cloud Arena in the Gazebo-Sect.

I saw the aristocrats scramble for their lives, desperately finding cover. I heard My Mistress's guards and the Rubies charge full force towards the mysterious rebels.

When the Gazebo-Sect found a secure spot on the other side of the Cloud Arena, I saw My Mistress's guards, and two other guards, fallen to the feet of...a Pearl?! I couldn't have believe it! Even if Blue Diamond told me of this herself! This Pearl wielded a weapon, no two! I have never known of a Pearl that would fight for her Mistress. Why would her Mistress program her Pearl against her original function? This Pearl's Mistress, the large pink gem, was a perfectly capable fighter on her own. She took down a Ruby fusion on her own, so why did she need her Pearl? Especially to finish off two mere Ruby guards?

This Pearl was so terrifying, horrifying, and lively to me back then. She was everything that a Pearl wasn't suppose to be. And I couldn't remove her rebellious scowl from my memory.

One Ruby was still left, I couldn't tell if it was the calm Ruby from before or one of her other comrades. The rebellious Pearl didn't notice the surviving Ruby; she closed in on the rare Sapphire. I bowed my head solemnly. Sapphire's prediction was coming true. I don't know why, but...because of the intimate moment between her and that Ruby...I couldn't help but feel...sorrow for her. And the potential sorrow to the Ruby she bonded with for a moment, that is, if her physical form wasn't already destroyed by now.

"NO!"

I abruptly brought my head up and...my eyes widened...my jaw dropped. Not only did that surviving Ruby push the rare Sapphire out of the way, but...a bright light consumed them. Much like a...but it couldn't be cause...two different gems can't fuse.

That's impossible, and yet...it did happened. Their fusion, at the time, was hard to even described as a fusion. At the time, I saw her more as a new creature rather than a gem. Even though I should have...but this new creature didn't disgust me.

Her colorful, wild, free hair was so alive to me. Her splattered, holed, mismatched clothing flowed like art. Bizarre yet wonderful, unintentional art. Nothing like the art back on Homeworld. Certainly no gem on Homeworkd would ever consider this as art. She was tall, unusually elegant, and entrancing. She drew me in like...how the rare Sapphire and Ruby did earlier.

A warmth returned to my gem, only it increased with each passing second. I looked down my chest and I was shocked to see my gem glowing! Glowing! It had never glowed before. The only time that a gem glowed was to summon their weapon or tool. Pearls didn't have weapons and tools. In that moment, I was bewildered and confused to no end.

I quickly covered my gem with both of my hands, silently commanding it to stop glowing. I couldn't let Blue Diamond see it. Luckily, she wasn't looking my way. Her eyes were darted at the fusion on display. The whole Court was glaring at the fusion. My gem's glow faded when the Gazebo-Sect crawled towards the center of the room. I regained my composure, and stood loyally at My Mistress's sides.

Once The Court got over it's shock of the situation, they were not shy to speak of their outrage to insult the new creature. Thus didn't surprise me. But what did was the fact that the rebellious Pearl did not attack the fusion. The rebels retreated without a trance.

The bright fusion light consumed the room, and the rare Sapphire and Ruby returned to us. My Mistress's voice broke through the angry mob, "The rebels have fled. Sapphire, this not the scenario that you described!"

I had never heard My Mistress so furious before, her soothing voice was now the sound of fire building in the boiler heat system.

"This is..." The rare Sapphire stuttered nervously, "This is not what I saw! I don't know what happened! I..."

"No!" The Ruby proclaimed, jumping in front of the rare Sapphire, "It was me!"

Based on her sincere tone, I knew then that it was the calm Ruby. I instantly felt a heavy weight inside of me, sinking at an alarming rate.

"Clearly," My Mistress replied, returning back slightly to her usual tone. "How dare you fuse with a member of my Court?"

"Forgive me! I..." The Ruby pleaded.

"You will be broken for this!" My Mistress suddenly yet powerfully declared.

I rapidly jerked my head to her, temporarily gawking at her command. However, I remembered myself and position. I made a quick recovery back to my original position before she could see. Before any of them could see.

And at My Mistress's word, The Court circled and surrounded around the two gems. Getting closer and closer.

But Fate was soon altered again when the rare Sapphire took the Ruby by the hand, swiftly dragged her to the edge of the Cloud Arena, and jumped off. My jaw dropped once more, but this time ever so slightly and subtly.

The remaining guards and soldiers ran towards the edge of the arena, to catch the traitors. However, they were stopped by My Mistress:

"Let them go."

Everyone turned to My Mistress and gasped...including me. Only silently.

"They will meet their inevitable end soon enough." My Diamond explained.

And with her final word, all was quiet and still at the Cloud Arena. Yet our thoughts were rapid and wild. Especially mine. There's a reason why I remembered this day above all others. This was when I slowly and unconsciously drifted from the Pearl I used to be.

Author's Note: Gazebo-Sect is just my name for that throne traveling mechanism Blue Diamond rode in for the episode. So guys, what did you think of my interpretation on Blue Diamond's Pearl so far? Do you like her narrative? Does she match your headcanon? Did I make her personality distinct and unique? Do I need to improve? Please let me know in the reviews. Chapter Two will be published on next Friday.
