Hey there! I am alive! But I wanted to post this story somewhere and I remembered I have one of these accounts! But problem is- I have no idea how to INDENT MY PARAGRAPHS!

It is my top most pet peeve so if you guys could help out a bit by telling me how- you will be my angels! Thank you!

In a world where little Steven Universe was not yet born- nor where an alien race had come to protect earth existed- a romance had yet to blossom. It was no simple amalgam of love and war, or one where it was mutual at the start. No, this time, there was only a single force that brought about the hope of the two ever being together...

Though for it to be a diva by the name of the Duchess, this revolution in their lives was most definitely going to be a confusing one.

Despite their age in another time, in this one they are but high schoolers. In this school were few who were known as the Crystal Gems for their lustrous personalities. They were popular, beautiful, and very characteristic. Pearl was one of the more refined yet quiet sort. She was brave but confined. Many thought her name suited her and many lusted after her beauty and grace. Had they truly known her for her stuttering mess when embarrassed like her closest of friends, it is a true possibility of her being even more loved.

One of her closest friends was Rose who almost always helped her through hard times. Rose told her everything and just the same, Pearl told her. But while Pearl liked to keep to herself and her choice of friends, Rose liked to snoop. She was friends with many people, her courage and charisma a contagious sort of trait. In fact, while being a Crystal Gem meant being popular, she was popular even among them. If you save for the few who thought themselves better.

Amethyst was the very laid back sort. She could be considered the gangster of the school who loved, more than anything, to eat. She was friendly...sometimes and the class clown the next. And though despite her clownish acts, like the rest of the crystal gems, she was at the top of her class in all things. She was also close friends with Garnet. And she like Garnet gained their names.

Garnet was one of the more quiet few who prefered to do as she pleased rather than explain herself. She was extremely athletic and took harsh words from no one. Her hair was another story that gave her more personality. Her and Amethyst had made a name for themselves in the school. With their own group of gems they became notorious for their fiendish acts. True hearted but mischievous all the same.

This love story is between the graceful yet easily embarrassed Pearl, and the mischievously quiet yet true hearted knight that is Garnet. And though one could start while everyone is at lunch and conversing among themselves and cause a little accident for the two to face each other- this story starts instead at a diva's concert.

"Was it necessary to bring me along, Amethyst? Sugilite was the one who wanted to come..." Garnet stated, her voice monotonous as they sat in the large auditorium waiting for the show to start. Amethyst waved her hand to dismiss what Garnet said.

"Awe come on G, The Duchess is the best artist of the year!" She said, patting her friend on the shoulder, watching the stage expectantly. "Plus- I won those tickets from the radio. If I took Sugilite, she probably would've blown up the school with her ego."

Garnet hmph'ed but nodded reluctantly groaning a low "True..." But that didn't mean she wanted to be there. She liked the more groovy music, the kind that was more cultural and dance invoking. Diva's rarely caught her attention and the ones that did only interested her by a single song and then fell out of her line of sight. All others only annoyed her.

"Don't be a bummer. She's a cool singer! I'm pretty sure you'll even like 'er. Plus this is probably the only time you'll ever have seats so close to the front. We're- what? -like two rows back?" Amethyst said to the tall girl sinking in her seat with her arms crossed. She was biting the inside of her cheeks waiting for the long hours of the pointless concert. Amethyst mumbled beside her, something along the lines of Garnet and her possible lesbian crush on Duchess.

"I'd leave my preferences out of this." Garnet stated blankly, shifting to get comfortable. Amethyst put up her hands rather quickly, a cheesed smile on her face.

"Hey, I'm just sayin-" she stopped once the lights dimmed out and the lights on stage began to brighten. "Ooooh! It's starting!" Amethyst stated, taking an enthusiastic hold on Garnet's arm and shaking it. Garnet groaned inwardly, half expecting someone to walk on stage and start blaring into the mic. Instead came a man.

"Hello, everyone! It's very nice to see you this evening. Our staff and agencies, companies and our very singer all extend warm welcomes to you all. More so for coming tonight on the last day of the Dutchess' tour. So without further ado, we grace you all with The Dutchess' new album- Top of the World!" And the crowd erupted into applause, Amethyst hopping up and down in her seat. Her arm had been laced around Garnet's so she was moving with Amethyst's bouncing.

The entire auditorium went dark when the lights on stage went down while the man walked off. Whispers and excitement flowed over the people before the first word of the song came on. And the lights sprang alive to show a girl on the stage, her arms sweeping over her head as she began to sing.

"~I'm the number one! Princess in the whole wide world! So make sure you know by heart how to treat me!~" She said, her movements minute but fluent as she moved. Her attire was a lollita dress, her hair done in a very obvious, artificial way. What was more interesting was the mask that covered most of her face, only her mouth exposed freely.

"~Got it?~" She sang, her pose a sassy strike of the hip, and a finger pointing to the crowd and Garnet was intrigued. Metaphorically speaking- if she were a man she'd be hiding a boner. As for being a woman- could someone explain her ovaries again?

For the rest of the concert, Garnet could only watch- surprised at herself for taking such a strong attraction to the diva. The highlight of that night however was while the last song was being sung and The Duchess walked to the edge of the stage. She was holding a note before she pointed into the crowd. Not at just anyone- but at Garnet who, behind her visors, was wide eyed and actually flustered. Amethyst beside her was shaking her arm in just as much excitement bubbling in Garnet's stomach. The stout girl beside her was trying to congratulate Garnet on being pointed at. So by the time the concert was over and by the time The Duchess had said her goodbyes to those that were at the concert, Garnet was transfixed with the diva.

"So did you like the concert?" Amethyst asked as they were in the line for merchandise in the end. People were filing out of the stadium, cameras clicking and flashing outside- no doubt trying to catch the diva as she too left. Garnet was silent a moment before she sighed.

"I think I like her...Music I mean." Garnet stated, asking for a t-shirt and a poster.

Amethyst was snorting, holding back a laugh before she let free while they were walking away. "I knew it!" She yelled, shivering once they hit the cold air outside. Garnet smiled wrapping her leather jacket around her tighter when Amethyst looked to her.

"Vengence" was what she said as they walked for Garnet's car. And that was in their freshman year.

Now- in their senior year, the crystal gems are living out the rest of the best four years of their lives. That is, finding their careers and means of living. Garnet continued to like the diva- Amethyst right in assuming she formed a lesbian crush on the celebrity. The silent crystal gem always thought it sad- but at the same time she knew she could help nor wanted to. But aside from this stoic girl in her senior year was Pearl who was peeking from behind her book at Garnet. Rose was watching in amusement. Amethyst was devising a plan while she and Garnet's group converse.

And here is where our drama begins.
