"I hate her!" The young diamond cried, her pink face flaring with red-hot anger. " I tried talking to her Y/n! You saw!"

"You didn't listen to me, my diamond." Y/n spoke, a twang of annoyance plaguing the subtext of her words. "You cannot demand for something with your sisters. You must negotiate like a leader."

"But I tried!" Pink diamond whined, elongating the 'i's in her mouth.

Y/n sighed, a short-lived exhalation of air escaping her lips. "My diamond, I think it would be pertinent to talk to all of the diamonds before resounding to the conclusion that all is lost. Chances are, it will come with time."

"But I want it now!" The diamond exclaimed, stomping her foot on her final word. Y/n put down her pad, no longer wanting to take notes on the childish behaviour, and suggested the idea of going to Yellow Diamond. "Yellow? Well, I haven't talked to her in sometime now..." And by 'sometime', she meant 31 homeworld hours before.

It was only a matter of time before the Pink gem would need to see her Yellow sister. Y/n had only seen her silently. Y/n didn't particularly like the yellow matriarch, however it was better than an ill-behaved child of a ruler. Of course the diamonds were beautiful creatures, regal and pretty, yet their lack of emotion and sentiment left a rather large flaw within them. Yellow's lack of cool colours in her spectrum, leaving her hot-headed and ill-tempered without the balance of peace, calm melancholia. With Blue, it was much the opposite. Her sadness and mystery making her too impartial, fearing for upsetting Pink. She had bold conviction, yet failed to exercise it where most necessary; for example, Pink's raging behavioural problems. Although Y/n was sent to help Pink, she had no authority to tell A Diamond what to do, she could only advise Pink Diamond, however, they ought to pay some attention to the gem. White Diamond had been rumoured to have created Painites due to her pressure and lack of empathy. But Y/n had never been told such by any credible gem other than rumour-mongering sapphires. White diamond had indeed created Painites, however, only two dozen were ever created. Not many were needed other than when the odd diamond or high ranking gem went off the wall with some post-retrograde depression or another. She had only been assigned to Pink so far.

"Okay!" Pink clapped curtly, drawing Y/n out of her thoughts. "Let's go see Yellow!"

Y/n once again sighed, something Y/n had grown to do more as she grew further into this job. "Of course my diamond."

The two gems positioned themselves on the warp pad as a flash of light carried them to yellow diamond's Kepler B6 moon base. Where she was tapping away at her diamond control centre. She looked quite pretty, beautiful, even, but as are all
Diamonds. What Y/n thought was common knowledge. A simple attraction to someone whom law on homeworld stipulates that you must love, adore and have total loyalty and allegiance to. Of course Y/n was bound to be up their backside, if only a bit!

"Yellow!" Pink diamond called, excitement dripping from her tongue as she lulled the 'l' syllables. This caused an audible grunt from yellow. "Yellow! It's me, Pink!"

"I gathered." She growled sarcastically. "I told my guards not to let anyone in while I'm working."

"Yea! That's why I didn't listen to them!" Pink giggled. Y/n took amusement to how unabashedly carefree she was, not caring for anyone or any thing. It was quite sad. "So.. what are you doing?"

Yellow glanced over at the pink gem from the corner of her eye and Y/n situated herself next to Yellow pearl, who shifted uncomfortably in her presence. Completely avoiding the question, Yellow diamond remarked, "must you really have that therapy gem in here?"

"She's my friend Yellow." Pink pouted. "She's always talking to me! More than what you do."

The snarky remark earned an even snarkier scoff from the Yellow gem. "You can talk to me when you learn to grow up."

"See y/n! They never care!" Pink cried, earning a look from yellow as if to say 'watch what you say next'.

Y/n performed the diamond salute before stating, "my diamond, I'm sure that Yellow diamond would listen if you conveyed your ideas in a more thought out and diplomatic way, as a diamond would."

Y/n looked up for Yellow Diamond's approval, which she got in the form of a satisfied scoff. "I've been trying to tell her that for the last thousand years! There's no getting through that one."

Pink sulked. Crossing her arms and making her body language closed off. Prompting a groan from Yellow. "Pink, come here". Yellow Diamond tapped her knees, causing Pink's eyes to be filled with stars. She jumped up, and scaled the giant yellow chair, popping herself upon the giant Gem's knee. There was almost a part of Y/n that wished she could be in the place of Pink. God what was she thinking. Bloody idiot wanting to sit on a diamond's lap! Well, all gems are supposed to love their diamond, so perhaps that was where these thoughts were deriving from.

"So this is Zercon planet 393x, and they house the primal kindergarten for common jade gems. They have the capital Bz6g5. That was my 3rd colony. It was my prized possession before I created Jelude 9, arguably one of my best colonies." Yellow gushed over her work, obviously prideful of her accomplishments. "You will be doing this one day too, Pink."

"Woah!" Pink gasped in awe. The sublimity of the situation casting over her features. "Y/n! Come here and see this!"

Y/n looked at Pink, then shooting her gaze to Yellow Diamond. Their eyes met for a brief moment, The yellow gem looking her up and down. Before patting her knee, beckoning the smaller gem. Y/n hesitantly took orthodox steps towards the older gem as a gloved yellow hand lowered for her to step upon. And so she placed a careful foot upon the palm of the diamond's hand and falling to her knees gently. Yellow diamond placed Y/n on top her thigh, soft and pillowy. The screen filled the three gems' vision, star maps with yellow markings all over.

"Now, you must command the drop ships, allow the economy to grow, maintain balance within the society, and so forth. It's a lot of responsibility. But you will be able to figure it out, I will always be here to aid and guide you." Yellow cooed, something that Y/n had never seen. Yellow took her index finger and rubbed Pink's fluffy hair in affection.
