Hey guys, I'm sorry for the late up date. No, I'm not dead. Just been busy with school work.

Butt. In the episode called Friend ship. When Pearl said that she was just a 'Pearl' and needed someone to tell her what to do. It got me thinking.

Like were the Pearl gems like soldiers on homeworld? hmm. Motionless soldiers maybe?

By the wayt the new episodes of Steven Universe messed me up.

Hope you enjoy :)

Garnet sighed sadly. She held her hands against the broken gem pieces.

Nobody said a word for a few seconds.

Steven slowly walked up to her. He pat her back. He didn't know what to say. He wiped away the tears. "Garnet..Its...It's going to be alright."

"No. It's not Steven." She answered coldly. She slowly paced her hands over the broken peices of Pearl and dragged them towards her. " It's not going to be okay and you know it."

-Hours later-

Garnet stared at the pile of what used to be Pearl. She just stared without showing any real emotion. She was in the kitchen. alone. Steven took the others outside of the house to leave Garnet alone.

"I..I don't know how to feel." Amethyst suddenly blurted out. She gaze down. She sat crossing her legs. and sighed. "I mean...Pearl's gone..She's really gone."

"Amethyst." Steven begin.

"I didn't even get to say goodbye." She said sadly. "And..And she's gone now."

"But.-"

"You can't say anything that will fix this Steven." Amethyst said. She looked away and hugged herself tighter. "Not this time."

"Uhh.." Greg wasn't sure what to slowly begin to walk backwards. Tears were in his eyes as he gazed down. Sure, him and Pearl didn't get along, but he still cares about her. "Maybe I should.."

"Yeah.." Steven agreed. "Take Lapis and Peridot, Alright Dad? Show them around town. I..I'm sure they'll like that."

"Sure, Kiddo." Greg gave a soft smile. "Man..Today..Today was a crazy day. But I'm glad that you're here now and safe."

"Same here dad." Steven hugged him. "Same here."

"I'm so sorry Steven.." Lapis said as she followed Greg. Peridot nodded sadly and followed. Steven waved them goodbye. "I hope things work out."

Seconds went by. Only Steven Midnight and Amethyst were left.

Amethyst couldn't take it any more. She broke down and begin to cry.

"Amethyst" Steven hugged her. "I know! I miss her too!It was just..."

He gazed into the window. He saw Garnet just sitting there. Non-moving.

"I.." He begin. "I'll be right back. I need to check on Garnet."

Steven slowly walked in through the door. "Garnet?"

"Hello,Steven."

"Are you doing alright?"

"I'm fine."

Steven pulled up a chair and sat beside her. He could tell that she was in lot of pain. "Garnet? I..I know. I miss her too and-"

"Steven." She stopped him and slowly turned towards the young gem. A little smile spread across her mouth. But it looked like a smile that would bring bad news. "I have an idea."

"Idea?" Steven's eyes widen. Though he was a little nervous of what it was. "W-What idea?"

"Yes. Stay here." She got up and begin to walk toward the warp pad without saying another word.

"Wait Garnet!" Steven watched her walk to the warp pad. He wanted to know. She didn't stop and didn't look back. He sat there and wiped away the tears.

-Minutes later-

Steven laid his head on the table. He looked up when he heard the warp pad.

"Garnet?" Steven saw her carry one of the clusters..From kindergarten. "Uh..What are you doing?"

"Steven. Remember when we went to go catch Peridot and we saw..." Garnet paused. " Those hands things that came out of these clusters?"

"Yes. How could I forget?" Steven said. "But..What are you going to do?"

"Go get Amethyst and Midnight." Garnet said as she gently gathered the broken pieces of Pearl. "And Peridot and Lapis."

..

"There's only one way to save Pearl." Garnet said as she paced back in forth in the living room. "We need to place all of her broken gem pieces in this cluster ."

"Do you think It'll work?"Amethyst asked filled with hope.

"We don't think. We know! Of course!" Peridot answered. She stood up and walked toward the cluster. "These things were built to re-save gems. To bring them back when their gem breaks or falls apart."

"So,She'll be back then? Good as new?" Steven asked excitedly.

"Not exactly." She answered. "Pearl will be back. But She won't remember anything."

"Anything?" Steven said sadly. " So..She won't remember us?"

"You can't be for sure. " Garnet said calmly and trying to hold back her anger

"I am. Pearl will be back. But like I said. She won't remember anything. No war. No earth. Not even Rose." Peridot said sadly. She gazed back at the cluster. "Pearl will be like a new Pearl Gem. She will remember our names. Like You amethyst. Cause that's your gem name. She won't have any memories of you guys. That's what I'm trying to say."

"Peridot's right." Midnight who was gazing at the mirror in his hand. He spoke up. "She'll be back..but not the same as before."

"Well." Garnet spoke up after a moment. She chuckled softly. "I guess it's our best shot then. Real Pear or not. I need her back."

-Weeks later.-

Steven and Amethyst laid in Steven's bed. To them, time was going slow really fast. Garnet and Midnight were in the kitchen. Sitting on the chairs and thinking. Sometimes, Steven would catch Garnet staring at the cluster that Pearl's gem was in. Steven laid back on his bed, him and Amethyst were staring at the ceiling. Normally Amethyst would be eating Steven's snacks and Pearl would yell at her. But Pearl wasn't here. She was gone.

"Man.." Amethyst begin. "This month..It just been crazy."

"Yeah.." Steven gazed around. His room was a big mess. He sighed. "If only Pearl was here."

"Yeah. She could come back."

"And..What if she doesn't come back."

Amethyst looked away. "I guess we'll have to get used to it, Without her being here. Garnet is broken."

"Yeah.."

There was a loud beeping sound. It was coming from the cluster.

"Could that be.." Steven begin. Sitting up he gazed down into the living room at the cluster.

"She's back!" Amethyst cried out. She ran downstairs towards cluster. She screamed happily. "Pearl's coming back! Everyone!"

Garnet and the others entered the room. The beeping stopped. A large white blur was slowly starting to come out from the top of the cluster. It was starting to form Pearl. Seconds past. Everybody gasped at what they saw in front of them.

Pearl was there, Pearl was back.

She was back and was standing right in front of them. Alive and breathing

But something was wrong. And Garnet was the first to notice it.
