Pearl White liked to think of herself as talented, not that she was cocky, she wasn't, honest, but she was proud. Prima Ballerina of her dance academy, senior in high school, straight As, and an amazing girlfriend to boot, what more could she ask fo...
They released Pearl at noon and she was home on her own couch by one o'clock, cuddled in her comfy oversized sweater and watching tv alone. She looked around the room, she hadn't been back here in.... well a very long time, and it was strange. Nothing looked different, it was as thought no one lived there while she was away.. which she supposed is true. Being that her mother was always with her at the hospital. Pearl then looked up the lightly dimmed stairway at a closed door which was hidden away in the darkness. Her room, that she hadn't stepped into for months now. She wondered if it'd be in the same condition as the rest of the house; soulless and silent. Pearl shoved the blanket off of her shoulders, folding it neatly afterwards. She took a slow step up the stair to that closed door, and then another- until she was in front of it. She put her hand on the doorknob, and turned her wrist. The confines of her own room, made her lips curl into a small smile. She needed the feeling of familiarity, because it was the only thing that wasn't alien to her after the two months of being kept in the bland hospital. She walked towards her bed, and without hesitation- she fell into the warm and fluffy sheets and blankets- laughter escaping her mouth as she made contact. She looked at her headboard, and sighed. Pearl sat up, and traced her fingers against the engraved initials of her and Rose from when they first became an item. The letters left a bitter taste in her mouth, so just as her and Rose did before- she grabbed a box cutter from her desk; and scratched away the 'R' that Rose left behind. Instead, she replaced the letter with a G, for Garnet. The person that truly made her feel like she was loved.

"Pearl?" Garnet said through the door, asking for her girlfriend who had been in the bathroom for a few minutes. She told her that she was planning something, 'absolutely amazing', and then she disappeared. Garnet took a few steps away from the door, "do you need me to get your mom?" She asked, concern riddled in her voice. Before Garnet could ask anything else, Pearl bursts through the door, wearing a flashy and over the top dress. Garnet burst into laughter the second Pearl came from the bathroom, not wasting a second to look at her lover in the beautiful dress. "I've planned.." Pearl trailed off. "what did you plan?" Garnet asked with slightly urgency, wrapping her muscular arms around her smaller significant other. "A date." Pearl smiled. "This must be some fancy date." Garnet said as her own lips curled into a large smile. "Well- if I'm being honest, it's just a picnic that I had Amethyst help me put together last night when she came over.. but I wanted to wear a dress that wasn't boring. This is definitely one of the things I missed while I was in.. the hospital." Pearl's smiled dropped slightly, and Garnet took notice, engulfing her girlfriend once again in a hug to make her smile reappear. "The surgery worked Pearl, just remember that. Okay?"

Amethyst laid down on Pearls bed, and watched as her friend stared at her phone, typing something new every minute. "Who're you texting- or should I say sexting?" Amethyst nudged her friends shoulder with mischief written over every corner of her face, while Pearl on the other hand looked as though she was not one for jokes. "You are terrible Ame, you know that?" Pearl said while placing her phone face-down on her nightstand. "-and no I was not, 'sexting'. I was regularly texting Garnet though, planning our next date." A smile creeped onto Pearls lips, and Amethyst took notice as she raised her eyebrows suggestively. "Mhmm.. just regularly texting Garnet." Pearl grabbed a pillow, and took no time at all whacking Amethyst with it, full force. Amethyst hit the pillow out of Pearl's grasp, watching as it fell to the ground- away from any of them. "Now that you're done trying to kill me with a pillow.. How did the fabulous date that I planned for the two of you go?" Amethyst smiled, propping herself up with her shoulders. Pearl looked down at her friend, still tempted to grab the other pillow on her bed. "It was.. fine." She narrowed her eyes, Amethyst doing the same. "You are a terrible liar Pearl." Amethyst said while shaking her head. "..the date was.. so good!" Pearl finally screamed out, not able to keep the truth from her friend. Though it was similar to the dates the couple had in the hospital, there was something different about it. It might of been the fact that they had it on Pearl's bed, with the large picnic blanket taking up the whole thing. Or that Pearl had never smiled so much. She was just so happy to be with Garnet, on a date, outside of that hospital. Amethyst pinches Pearl's pale skin, taking her out of her daze. "Well I'm happy my date planning skills are still amazing." She said while Pearl nodded. "You are the best Amethyst, the absolute best."

Pearl shuffled through her house with her more comfortable clothes on, including her warm and fluffy socks that she loved more than anything. Before she was able to make herself some tea, the doorbell echoes throughout the house. Her mom hadn't told her that anyone would be coming today, but as the doorbell goes off again she's forced to see who's behind the door. She unlocked the door, and opened it, expecting it to be some delivery boy who needed her to sign off on some package, but a smile appears on her face when she sees a familiar couple standing in front of her. "Lapis, Jasper." The two pulled her into a hug, saying hello in return. "We came to check up on the star of the show." Lapis said with a small, but kind smile. "I'm getting by... I've really missed you guys." Pearl said, some remorse hidden in her tone. Jasper smiled as well, her toothy grin bringing happiness back to Pearl. "How is it going there?" Pearl asked, as Jasper shrugged. "It'd be going much better if you were there- so hurry up and get better!-" Lapis dug her elbow into Jasper's side, as Pearl let out a quiet laugh. "That was so rude Jasper! Pearl needs to take her time recovering!" Lapis said in a slightly hushed tone. "I wasn't tryin' to be rude Lapis- I was simply giving her some.. self confidence!" Jasper struggles over her wording, and Pearl can't help but let out more laughter; and for a second- she imagined her and Garnet lightly bickering like the couple in front of her were doing. She didn't notice her cheeks flush a light pink, but the people in front of her did. "Anyways Pearl.." Lapis clears her throat, getting back her cool. "How is that Garnet doing, Amethyst told us all about her. She seems so nice." Lapis's lips curl into the same kind smile from before. "Oh, Garnet? She's doing good. I'm surprised that Ame was talking about her." Pearl sighed, imaging her friend yelling about her significant other. "Are you kidding? From what Ame says she's friggin' awesome." Jasper said with a slight chuckle, her hands finding her hips. Pearl's cheeks flushed an even darker shade, as she made a mental note to scold Amethyst later on. A ringtone bursted through the silence, as Lapis took out her phone to answer the call. Jasper peeked over at the screen to see who it was as Lapis ended the call, "that was Ms. Miller, she said that they need us back to help the younger students practice their part." Jasper let out a very loud sigh, and Lapis looked at Pearl with a frown. "We're sorry to have to go so suddenly, but you know Ms. Miller, always overdoing it. We'll see you soon, okay?" Pearl nodded, going in to hug her friends one more time before they left.
