The Answer

Chapter 1

The Pearl stared deep into the Earth sky as he waited for orders from his Diamond, Blue Diamond. Usually he was focused, but today he was in a trance. Earth's sky was so calming to him. Even more so than Homeworld's.

As expected, a Sapphire arrived with news for Blue Diamond. He overheard some whispers, but not all. When the Sapphire exitted, a Rosalie walked towards him. Rosalies were, like Rubies, common foot soldiers and were not highly regarded in the most elite gems.

But he was no better. A common Pearl. The lowest of gems. The Rosalie got to see what was out there, while he was stuck serving for his Diamond. He despised it.

"Ahem!" the Rosalie cleared his throat before him, which snapped him out of his trance. "The Sapphire brought news of an ambush from the rebels. I've been sent here to protect you." he declared. The Pearl nodded and the Rosalie lined up beside him, but the Pearl was confused. Why send a guard to protect a Pearl? Blue Diamond could easily have another one made.

Then the Pearl thought. His type of gem was manufactured and treated like dirt. This somewhat angered him, but he kept it to himself.

"Blue Diamond! Leave this planet alone!" The rebels. "We," one Siam came from nowhere and landed while a Tourliminated Quartz landed beside him. "Are the Crystal Gems!" they cried. Both summoned their ideal weapon: an arm canon for the Siam, and a mase for the Quartz. The two began breaking the physical forms of a countless number of gems. "Stay behind me." the Rosalie commanded. The Siam lined up his shot for the guard, and he just stood there. "Wait!" the Pearl screamed. There was a flash of light.

"W-wah..." Everyone gasped in horror at the sight of them. The rebels conversed, and fled. "W-what happened...?" They looked down, and saw their hand. Their hand. It was the first time a Pearl and a Rosalie fused.
