The Princess and The Peasant ~ Lapidot

Chapter 22: Crystal what?

Pearl walked into the castle/Temple, leaving the pink beast outside. She held the two gems in her hand as she walked down the corridor. She needed to find the beautiful Rose Quartz and fast for she had to tell the gems something important, (and before they turn back into their physical forms).

Pearl knocked on Rose's door.

"Come in." Replied a sweet and gental voice. Pearl smiled at the sound of it. The Pearl entered Rose's study. A rather large room with a throne and desk on the other side of the room. Paintings, windows and wallpaper made the study more lovley, it was decorated with pink and red walls. Many paintings of Rose and her family were the most noticeable. The rest of the room was surrounded by paperwork and small tables against the wall. Nothing but a pink carpet was present in the centre.

"Rose I have brought you Lapis Lazuli and Peridot." Rose smiled as she jumped out of her throne and walked over to her daughter.

"Excellent.... Where are they?" Smiled Rose awkwardly, she was expecting them to be standing next to Pearl. "Are they outside?" She asked.

"Uhm... No, I uhm... Poofed them..." Pearl unfolded her hand that reviled two gems.

"Pearl, what did I say about poofing? An invitation would of been much easier." Pearl didn't want to argue back so she apologised.

"Yes Mother."

"It doesn't matter as long as I can talk to them." Suddenly two lights shone bright and the two gems floated in the air. A few seconds later, two unstable gems crashed landed on to the floor.

"Ow!" They both exclaimed.

Peridot was the first to speak. "Pearl! What gives?! You clod!" Shouted an angry green gem. Peridot rubbed her forehead gently since she landed on her head and luckily not braking her sensitive gem.

"I...uhm, sorry..." Pearl blushed, it would of been easier if she had sent an invitation after all.

Lapis layed next to Peridot. She unfortunately fell on her back. The Princess arched her back and realised a sharpe breath.

"Ow, my gem." Peridot began to panic.

"Lapis?! How's your gem?!" Lapis turned over, her gem now exposed to the others, and luckily, it wasn't cracked.

"Phew! Don't worry Lapis you're fine." Peridot said with a relief.

"Now can you explain why we are here?" Asked the blue gem while slowly sitting up.

Rose cleared her throat and smiled. "I'm Rose Quartz, I am the queen of the Crystal Lands. My daughter Pearl, who I presume you already met, was ment to had brought you here so I could tell you something important." By now Lapis and Peridot were standing up, facing the incredibly tall Quartz infront of them. Pearl on the other hand stood by the door about to leave.

"Rose!" Suddenly a small blue gem pushed Pearl out of the way and barged into Rose Quartz study. Grabbing the attention of everyone in the room.

"Sapphire?!" Lapis exclaimed. She ran towards the small gem and hugged her. "Sapphire I missed you so much. Your absence made me realise how much you cared about me. I'm sorry Blue Diamond kicked you out." Lapis let go of the shocked blue gem, Sapphire suddenly smiled.

"It was destiny Lapis. And no offence but Blue Diamond kicking me out was the best thing that happened. I realised these gems need me more. And it's also a place where no one can judge someone for who they are." Suddenly another person came through the door. It was one of Blue Diamonds old Ruby guards, Sapphires girlfriend in fact.

"Lapis this is my girlfriend Ruby. Speaking of girlfriends, are you and green bean over there finally a couple?" Pearl let out a laugh and so did Rose. The two other gems began to blush.

"N-no, me and P-Peridot are just friends." Lapis took a step back from the smaller blue gem.

"That's not what I saw, you and doritoe hair have kis-" Lapis covered Sapphires mouth with her hand.

"Hahaha, that Sapphire such a teaser. Anyways Rose Quartz what was it you wanted us to know?" Lapis finally let go of Sapphire. All the blue gem could do was huff and pout.

"Sapphire why don't you tell them?" Rose suggested.

"Okay, we are all in grave danger. Yellow Diamond is coming back, and I've seen the outcomes. Hell will be brought upon our kingdoms. We must team up, the Dark lands and the Crystal lands must unite. Otherwise our species will die out, and there will be none of our kind left...."
