Past Story

Choice

White Diamond and I walked down the bright hallway. I held a tablet in my hands and pretended to reply to White Diamonds mail from other gems. Of course I was doing something quite different. 

"Kissing

The act of pressing lips on an object or organism. Done by humans on the planet earth. Often done with two lips togethor."

As I read about the human act of kissing, I became more and more interested in the bonding technique. Humans pressed their lips togethor as a symbol of bonding, romance, sexual pleasure and more. At first I didn't quite understand why humans enjoyed kissing so much. Then I imagined kissing Rose.

"Watch out, my diamond!"

My gaze shot up just in time to see a shadow of a gem attacking the guards. I dropped the tablet and ran with White diamond to the nearest emergency pod. I was small though and could barely keep up with the long legged diamond.

"My diamond wait!", I yelled. But she just kept on running.

By the time I arrived near the pod, White Diamond was all ready inside. "Hurry up Pearl!", she called in an annoyed voice.

"Pearl!"

I stopped dead in my tracks at the sound of that voice. It was Rose. She wielded a sword and shield. She was the attacker.

"Rose, what are you doing?", I practicly screamed and put my hands to my head.

"Come with me Pearl. I need you to fight with me!", she put out her hand. The guards yelled and charged.

I had two choices. Go with Rose and become a criminal, or stay in the safety of White Diamond and lead a pathetic life.
