(Black)"So, the thing on my 'head' is hair, the things on my hands are fingers and arms, and the bottom ones are legs and feet?"

(Blue)"Yes, that's right."

(Black)"And...this is a nose?"

I saw Pearl walk in, so I grabbed her nose. Blue could hardly keep herself from laughing.

(Blue)"Hahaha, yes, that's a nose."

(Pearl)"M-My Diamond, we'll be landing on Homeworld in three minutes."

(Blue)"Oh good! Black, follow me."

We went to the observation room, that's what Blue says it is. I could see a big, white ball with two rings. Blue said that was what most planets look like, but this one didn't look like the one where I was created on. It looked like it there were some holes almost going straight through.

(Black)"Blue, why does it look like that?"

(Blue)"Well, this is why we create colonies. Homeworld is starting to lose its resources, and it's taking its toll."

(Black)"So, what's going to happen when they're all gone?"

(Blue)"...I'd rather not think about it."

I left it at that, Blue didn't want to talk anymore, and I don't want to make her feel bad.

The surface of the planet looked better than I expected, although simple. Huge, box-shaped buildings and gray ships were around every corner. White and Yellow had already arrived, and the second one is who I'm going to meet with.

Blue taught me how to act,and Yellow is going to teach me about setting up colonies, and how Gems work in detail.

(In Yellow's Room)

The inside of the large, yellow building was a hallway with talking drawings on them (Weird), a large, triangular chair. Yell was sitting in said chair, and next to her was another Pearl, who had different hair, and seemed more confident about herself.

(Yellow)"So Black, what do you think of the place?"

(Black)"Oh, it's...cool./Except for the giant holes in it./Um, Blue told me you'd tell me what I'll be doing from now on, making colonies?"

Yellow didn't seem like she wanted to deal with this, but she was probably told by White to educate me on these things, she did say she was the leader of us.

(Yellow)"Right. You're lucky, you know? It took years for me and Blue to get our first set up, but White's been generous enough to let you have one tomorrow."

(Black)"Tomorrow? That's...really kind of her!"

(Yellow)"She hasn't been like this before you showed up, she even had me assign about 10,000 of MY own Gems to you for this."
