Pink's diamond pupiled eyes opened and closed again, the process repeating itself a few more times. Her eyes fluttered open fully a few short minutes later and she took in her surroundings. Her nervousness became clear upon the realization that she was somewhere she wasn't sure she'd ever been before. It all seemed new to her.
She could see two other beings she knew she'd never seen before. The smaller of the two lay on his stomach on the ground, a look of pain plastered on his face. The taller one stood a few feet away from the other one. Her eyes were trained on Pink.
Despite becoming speechless, the taller one of the two beings still managed to at least say something. "P-pink..."
Then the smaller being uttered something confusing to Pink Diamond. "M-mom?"
Pink? Mom? Pink Diamond wasn't familiar with either one of those two words. "W-who are you?"
"You don't know us?" Pink Diamond answered Spinel's question by shaking her head no. Spinel turned, eyeing a still pained Steven. She kneeled down next to him.
"Is there by chance any possible way for both you and Pink Diamond to exist at the exact same time, Steven?" Spinel quietly whispered to the teen. She kept her eyes focused solely on Pink as she said this.
Steven responded by shaking his head.
"No." He said, sadly. "There isn't. Only one of us can exist with that Gem and right now Pink has it, not me." He rested a finger under his chin, now deep in thought. "Unless one of us can get in touch with the Diamonds. I'm sure they can help the three of us with something like this. And besides, I'm sure they'll all be super happy to see Pink again."
"The Diamonds?!" Spinel started to panic. "Are you crazy?!"
"I'm not." Steven reached into his pocket, pulling out a Diamond Communicator and handing it to Spinel. "Take this. Twist it to White."
"O-okay."
Spinel took the Diamond communicator, doing exactly what Steven told her to do. A few short seconds and the device glowed as it levitated out of Spinel's hands and into the air above her. Both Spinel and a now curious Pink Diamond looked up towards it as it became some sort of White tinted screen showing the Diamonds. White, Yellow, and Blue gasped in utter shock as they saw who was on the other end.
They couldn't believe their eyes. "Pink!"
"I'm sorry, do I know you?"
Pink Diamond gazed up towards all three of them, her nervousness showing more as she began to back away. An action that made White, Yellow, and Blue all super worried. They exchanged confused glances before looking to Spinel and Steven, each one of them wanting to know what exactly was going on.
"What happened to her?" White Diamond asked in a mixed tone of anger and concern. "Why doesn't she remember us?"
"This happened." Spinel picked up her rejuvenator and showed it off to the Diamonds, her fear growing as White eyed it. An annoyed expression appearing on the latter's face as she cocked her head to the side.
"Is that a rejuvenator?" White asked. "What do you need a rejuvenator for?"
Spinel put it down then focused her attention towards the Diamonds again. She gestured over to Pink as she began to speak. "I only brought it with me because I got kinda sorta a little angry over the fact that Pink over there abandoned me the moment you gave her her colony."
Blue was the next to speak up. "What happened to Steven?"
Spinel looked down, a look of sadness replacing her confusion. "I...I tried to use the rejuvenator on him but he wouldn't poof. So I removed his Gem and used the rejuvenator on it and that part of Steven ended up poofing. It resulted in Pink reforming."
"That's...interesting." Was all Yellow said. An annoyed White and Blue eyed her. "W-what I mean is how are both Steven and Pink alive at the same time."
"Well." Spinel nervously looked down towards the ground, unsure of what to say, then back up towards the Diamonds. "I was...uh...wondering if it was actually possible for you guys to make a new Pink Diamond Gem for Steven. That way both he and Pink exist at the same time."
The Diamonds exchanged glances, unsure of how to respond to Spinel's words. A few minutes and White Diamond turned to face Spinel again. "We'll see if that's possible. We're coming to the Earth."
With that, White hung up and the Diamond Communicator closed as it floated back down into Spinel's hands.
Now all Steven, Spinel, and Pink had to do was wait for the Diamonds to get there.
