The Missing Diamond

Chapter 28 Le ball

I opened my eyes and noticed I was in mom's arms "mom why am I in your room?" She looked at me "I was done work early so I brought you home" I looked down "oh. But what about the crystal gems?" "They're still in pinks room but she had requested us to be in the ball room I said we would once you're awake" she picked me up "where's mum" I noticed her sneaking up behind mom "I don't where she is" mum put her hands on mom's shoulders and startled her "yellow don't scare me like that I could've dropped iris" she chuckled "but you're adorable when you're scared" mom rolled her eyes "oh whatever we have to go to the ball room now" mom and mum walked so he ball room when we got there steven wasn't there and normally he's early to almost everything mom placed me on her lap Steven came in a few minutes later "what is it that you need pink" mum asked "well I was thinking what if we held a ball?" "A ball? We haven't had a ball in 6,000 years" "why mum" mom looked at me "well since pink was gone no one wanted to have a ball well except when you were born" "why when I was born?" "To show our gems their new diamond but then you" mom started crying "it's okay mom" she wiped her tears "we'll leave you with our pearls to help you plan" mom said their pearls warped in and then they left "we need streamers balloons and party cannons" Steven said "no cannons are aloud in the ballroom and these balloons you speak of are un precedented there for out of the question" mum's pearl told us "well what is presented there for in question" I asked "you two and the other three diamonds will sit on your elevated thrones once yours if finished of course" "well that's dry" amethyst said "liquid of any kind is not aloud in the ball room" Steven huffed "well what do you do for fun then?" He asked "we don't do fun" "I like to draw" mom's pearl said quietly "can we see some?" I asked she nodded and showed us some there were ones of my parents and me as a baby i smiled at one where both my parents were holding baby me I heard laughing and looked up then mom came in "pink iris how is the planning going?" "Good mom" "pink do you want to ring in the ball or should I" She scoffed "of course not I'll do it I'll do everything come pearl" the two pearls went with her "what about me?" "Oh yes sorry" she picked me up we left the room "how dare you forget me mother" she let out a small giggle "sorry I just have a headache" she held her head then we went home "when do we go to the ball?" "In a few hours" I nodded mum came up to us "our surprise for her is ready" mom smiled "what surprise?" I asked excitedly "well I don't know if you deserve it" i pouted "mum please I'm wearing this outfit and it feels very weird" she chuckled "you do look nice... all right let's go" we went to a large door "what's inside" "well what do you think is inside?" I shrugged my shoulders "I dunno" the door opened mom put me down they both shrank about the size of garnet but mum was a bit taller mom helped me up "is this my room?" They smiled "yes it is do you like it?" I nodded "yeah it's so cool" they helped me to my bed I laid down "it's so comfy thanks moms" they smiled and joined me I cuddled in between them we fell asleep "iris we need to get up now" "nooo ten more minutes" mom picked me up "you can sleep on the way there" I closed my eyes until we got to the ball room when mom went in she placed me on my throne right beside Stevens we watched gems dance for a few minutes "I'm board" I said "same" Steven looked at me he stood up and grabbed my wrist "Steven what are you doing?" "Come on we should dance together" I nodded we started dancing together then there was a bright light I opened my eyes and looked at my parents "pink iris what are you doing" mum said "we were just danci" I looked at my hands "unfuse or I'll make you" blue said ruby and sapphire fused into garnet then amethyst and pearl fused as well as two gems we don't know yellow poofed them all except me she went and grabbed us "wait stop please" she ignored me then placed us into a tower "now stay in here and think about what you've done" she said before closing the door I cried and laid on the ground
