(Horrible Fact: Sometimes this new phone I got deletes either the entire chapter I'm writing or a huge portion of it. Hopefully my memory allows me to write it down again, and I have some new options to keep it around.)

(Homeworld: Tower)

Pink looked up when she heard the door open, but to see who entered made her current mood no better.

Pink: What are YOU doing here?

Black: Hello again Pink. Listen, I...wanted to apologize, about all this. I'm certain you don't wish to speak with me, but I just want to try and smooth things over.

Pink: You know, I might've been ok with that apology, if it came before being locked up for six months!

Black: Oh c- Pink, I'm trying.

She stood up within an instant.

Pink: And who exactly told you to try? Yellow, Blue or White??

Black kept a straight face while looking at the floor.

Black: ...All three.

Pink: Oh great, this is just PERFECT! Now you got them involved in this!

Black: And just what is "This"?

Pink: All I wanted was to be like you all, but every time I try you shut me down!

Black: And every time we gave you a chance, something bad happened.

Pink: How convenient, that! Almost as if someone's been making sure it goes that way!

Black: Oh, you aren't possibly saying that I'M to blame!

Pink: You aren't so clever Black. I know about your Lounge, "Funny", the damn Automatons! But they don't have a clue!

Black: Ok. What do you intend to do about it then?

Pink: I have some ideas...

Black: And these would be-urk!!

Suddenly, Pink rushed at Black and punched him square in the face, sending him flying into the reinforced stone wall. He sat in the crater for a moment, taken aback by this action.

Black: ...Fine then...if that's the way you want it...

------

Blue: Was it right to send him alone?

Yellow: How else could he settle this dispute?

Blue: Pink isn't in a good state of mind, she might do something rash!

Yellow: Like what, FIGHT Black? I'm sure they're already over it-

CRASH!

Yellow: What was that?!

A moment later, two Jades, a Ruby, and three familiar Otons hurried in to avoid the commotion for outside.

Jade: M-My Diamonds, there's a fight, in the streets!

Ruby: It's Black and Pink, they're...they're throwing each other around!

Both Diamonds: WHAT?!

Alpha: Oh, I just KNEW something bad was gonna happen, why did we tell her??

Yellow caught that last comment, and she looked down at the machine with cold, unblinking eyes.

Yellow: What was that just now..?
