White sat in her head ship, waiting patiently for the return of her fellow diamonds.

".... Pearl, what's that on the scanners?"

The pearl pulled up the image, seeing a ship that looked like a cube. It then shifted into a giant red sword.

"OH WHITE DIBITCH!" Tamara yelled through her ships speakers.

White momentarily considered shattering her on the spot.

.

Tamara took a deep breath of the air on Homeworld, grinning to herself as she turned her ship back into a cube. Red Diamond's ship had the ability to become any armour or weapon for the other ships, a support ship if you will.

Tamara stepped out of the ship with Netty and Red Pearl, seeing White's pearl meet them.

"White Diamond request to see you, Red Diamond." White Pearl said.

Tamara sighed, saying "Alright.... Netty, RP, I need you to get Kevin and tell him to head to the forge. I've gotta surprise for him."

She entered a bubble with White Pearl, the two disappearing to go to White Diamond's ship. Once they arrived, White Pearl disappeared, leaving the two diamonds alone.

".... Hey." Tamara said, looking up at White Diamond.

"Red, how nice of you to return with Pink. Now, we can finally get back to expanding the Diamond Empire!" White said with a slight excitement.

".... Is that all you have to say to me?" Tamara questioned, a fringe of annoyance in her voice. "White.... I want you to leave the Earth alone. There are innocent people on that planet, and there's no reason to colonize-"

A bubble formed, dropping Kevin down onto the floor. Her eyes widened, White Pearl appearing next to him.

"Oh, what's this? A human? Pink did love those little things, they are quite fragile though.... Why don't I put him into the zoo? That way you can continue your work in peace." White said, examining the human.

"Tamara.... Tammy!" Kevin shouted, backing away from the large diamond.

"Hold on, White! I said to leave the Earth alone! Kevin is human, that makes him a part of the Earth!" Tamara yelled at White.

"Well, I never exactly agreed to that deal, now did I?" White said, turning her gaze to Tamara.

"Hey! Tamara is twice the gem you'll ever be!" Kevin said, pointing at her.

".... I just had a brilliant idea." White said, turning to Kevin.

White pointed her hand at Kevin, a pale colored laser beam firing out and striking him in the chest. He was sent flying back, skidding across the ground.

"KEVIN!" Tamara yelled, running over to him.

The center of his chest had smoke coming from it, Kevin's form having a weak pulse.

"Oh, relax Firefly. We can just get you a new human, and without this one, there will be no more distractions-"

White paused, the smile on her face dropping st Tamara's eyes turned I to diamonds.

"WHITE DIAMOND!"

Tamara glared hard at her, red aura flooding through the room. The pure rage that she felt was enough to overpower White's calmness, said girl setting her hands alight with red flames.

She barged into a laboratory, multiple Peridot's freezing in place and doing a diamond salute.

"GET ME HOLLY BLUE! AND LISTEN TO ME YOU WORTHLESS PERIDOTS, IF THAT HUMAN DIES, YOUR LIVES ARE FORFEIT!" Tamara screamed, unleashing a fury that not even her mother could match.

.

".... You wished to see me my diamond?" Holly Blue said, doing a salute.

"Yes.... Leave me and Holly Blue alone for a moment...." Tamara said, all the other gems in her room leaving.

Once they left, she completely went from serious to sad in a flash.

"Oh Tamara.... What happened?" Holly asked, Tamara walking over to the gem.

"Holly, you have no idea how much I've needed your presence the last few days!" Tamara groaned.

Unbeknownst to the other gems, Holly Blue and Tamara had become good friends in the time she'd been on Homeworld. They also became very.... Very best friends.

"I checked in with the peridots earlier, Kevin is alive, but they need confirmation for if you truly wish to got through with the procedure." Holly Blue said, putting a hand on her friends shoulder.

".... Yes, they may proceed. It's the only way to save his life." Tamara confirmed.

"You mean there only way he'll live long enough for your confession?" Holly Blue teased.

Tamara's face turned red, smoke coming from her head as she said "No! I mean, yes, but also no! I'm genuinely concerned for him!"

She winced, looking down at her hands.

".... Your fire's getting stronger, isn't it?" Holly Blue asked. "You said that this has happened only twice before?"

"Yeah.... Apparently I just have to ride it out, my skin will adjust to it, I just need to be patient.... My body is vulnerable in this stage, since I can't stand as much heat as usual. Once Kevin wakes up, I can tell him everything."

A peridot walked in, shivering as both Holly Blue and Tamara giving her a look of warning.

"M-my diamond, the patient is stable and awake!" The peridot stuttered.

Tamara nodded, following her to her cru- friend! She walked into the room, seeing Kevin slowly waking up.

".... I think I died a little bit.... Why do I feel like I got hit by a truck?" Kevin groaned.

"Okay, Kevin, don't freak out.... So, you did technically die, but-"

"WHAT?!" He shouted, sitting up.

The sheet covering his chest fell off, and he looked down to see the 'good news'.

"WHAT IS THIS?!"

"It's a Bloodstone."

"Well why is it in me?!"

"Well it was either this or die."
