Life After Steven (Steven Universe x reader)

~Emerald~

(Some mature language in this chapter)

"Enough with that thing!" A Jasper standing by our side shoved an Amethyst. "They aren't going to call you back!"

"I have to try!" The Amethyst said, fiddling with something in her big hands.

You have never been here before. Your 'kind' called it The Lower Valley. Basically any gem below a Peridot, the ones who don't see the Diamonds and aren't praised for what they do. Peridots just hit the mark of Middle Class because of their intelligence. Though you, are High Class.

Suddenly something sharp hit the side of your head.

"YOU IDIOT THAT'S A SAPPHIRE!"

"I-I didn't mean it!"

You look over and see the Jasper and Amethyst arguing. You look down and notice it's a Diamond Communticator. You quickly snatch it. "What were you two doing with a Diamond Communicator? This isn't for you!" You hand it to Yellow Pearl, to bubble away of course. "Who are your Diamonds?"

The Jasper and Amethyst look sick to their stomachs. "P-please we didn't mean any harm!" Amethyst says.

"Who are your Diamonds!" You shout.

The both take a deep breath. "Pink Diamind."

"...Pink...?" Sapphire reads your mind.

"Impossible!" Yellow Pearl snaps angrily. "You two aren't supposed to be Pink Diamond's until she reforms!"

The two Quartz look at each other in confusion. "But we got a report saying we are to dress for Pink Diamond court. You didn't hear? She did reform!" The Jasper said.

The Amethyst jumped in front of her. "And that's why we have that Communicator... m'lady!" She playing with her shirt collar. "We wanted to finally speak with Pink Diamond after so long!"

Yellow Pearl leaned close to me. "This doesn't make sense. Why weren't we formed about this?"

"I predict that two Quartz will tell us Pink Diamond has reformed! Horray!" The other Sapphire jumped in the air.

"I'm sorry, who is she?" Blue Pearl said, giving her a nudge as she walks closer to you. "She's wrong."

"She was a Crystal Gem before you killed Steven," Sapphire says. "You don't remember though, I don't think you were made yet then."

Blue Pearl rolls her eyes. "I have told that... that Pink Diamond didn't die."

Sapphire moved her hair out of her face. "Because of what Homeworld did to Steven, I'm not Purple anymore."

Yellow Pearl noticed my confused look. "She means Garnet. Red and Blue make Purple."

Sapphire snorted angrily and speed walked away, her heavy dress bouncing up and down.

"She doesn't like saying or hearing Garnet anymore I'm guessing," Yellow Pearl filled in. "She said it's called being heartbroken. Whatever. Time fixes all wounds. Let's get out of here."

"Why are we here anyways? I was told High Class wasn't supposed to be in the Low Class," you say, remembering the long speech White Diamond gave you thirty years after you were made.

"Yes, but this is the only way to Emerald. Even the Diamonds have to come down here. We had this conversation while you were outside of the palanquin. Emerald was the only gem who was with the Crystal Gems and Homeworld. Crazy huh?" Blue Pearl said, walking past you to catch up with Sapphire, like she's the leader.

"Let's just hurry, we don't want our Diamonds to realize we didn't follow orders and left," Yellow Pearl said. "C'mon padparadscha."

After a few moments, she followed Yellow Pearl and you did too. Staying behind everyone.
