"You know what? I think I want this Pearl," says Hessonite to a chuckling Opalite. Her skinny but tall nose looked weird due to the bobbing she did. A Maroon Pearl was confused at which Pearl she was referring to. The Brown Pearl nearby quickly bashed her arm into the Maroon Pearl, who rubbed her arm while cringing in pain.

Black Pearl steps off her assigned platform. "Ooh, yes. The way she walks is so elegant," complimented the Opalite.

The Hessonite looked incredibly excited to see such a flawless Pearl. But deep down, Black Pearl did not feel very good about herself since she was a Pearl. She knew that Pearls were like her were nothing but servants; nothing but property to the aristocracy of Homeworld. This caused a conflict between the upset part of herself and the calm part.

"My Hessonite." Black Pearl nearly stuttered, but luckily she didn't.

"Come with me," Hessonite walked calmly through the halls. Pearls were looking at her, jealous. A few Pearls even scoffed.

"Ugh, she is so lucky,"

"That's the best Hessonite in the galaxy! She better count herself lucky she's also really kind,"

"How?!"

While Hessonite strutted arrogantly through the hallways of the Reef, Pearls glared at Black Pearl. She knew she had the best Hessonite in the galaxy. It was 3HR. She was an awesome Hessonite, and was revered as one of the funniest Hessonites known in the universe. She did have one flaw; she had low self esteem. Many gems she knew hated her and snapped at her, despite all the fans she had.

"What would you like to do, Pearl?" asked Hessonite.

Black Pearl blinked. She was shocked at the question.

"W-well... um... are you sure you want to let me do something?" Black Pearl asked nervously.

"Oh, I'm sure. Wanna go check out the nearby black hole?" asked Hessonite.

"Sure. How many light years is it?" answered Black Pearl.

"One light year away is the supermassive black hole 672 Cyko," Pearl never knew they gave black holes names.

"Are you talking about the black hole in the middle of the galaxy?" asked Black Pearl.

"No. We're about 15,000 light years from there."

"Wow, I thought supermassives were only in the centers of galaxies," commented Black Pearl.

"Well whatever they told you isn't true. Supermassives outside the centers of galaxies are quite rare. Pezzottaite astronomers only know of about 100 supermassives outside of the center of our galaxy. The biggest being around 34,000,000 solar masses," explained Hessonite.

"Oh wow, that is huge," said Black Pearl.

"I know, right? Anyways, let's get inside the ship," said Hessonite.

Black Pearl followed her new owner inside the ship, ready for eternal fun with her new owner. Eternal fun was what she thought, clearly not knowing a new Diamond was still being created.

A/N: This is a shorter chapter because I was just now like, "Oh my stars, I haven't updated this in awhile!"

Long story short, I rushed this chapter just to get this out to Black Diamond's poor fanbase. Anyways, I hope you had a great Christmas and a happy new year!

I forgot about this book for awhile as well. Normally, I wouldn't have this chapter under 500 words because y'know, it'll be too short for many of you all but I was really desperate to get this out so I could post new content. Also, I'm planning on editing some of the older chapters since there were a lot of grammatical mistakes making them difficult to read.
