Trying to Smile Again Continued (Steven UniverseUniverse Fic)

Part Six Epilogue

"Do not worry Steven Universe, your Pearl's are about to be better than new," Shell announced. "Feel free to watch the progress on the view screen."

A screen appeared above the clam, showing Pearl and Pinky. Without warning, the rejuvenation was set off. Their screams could be heard twice as loud with the screen present. Spinel snapped out of her scared state, now staring in fear at the screen. She wanted so desperately to help, but she was frozen with fear. Steven too wanted to help, but he couldn't break the shell... all he could do was watch.

"I'm sorry for not believing you," Pearl said. "It looks like I'm still making excuses for her."

"Is that what I've been doing," Pinky cried. "But, she didn't mean to-"

"But you were hurt! Badly hurt!"

"I was... badly hurt," Pinky said. "How did you stop hurting?"

Pearl wrapped her friend into a tight embrace, holding her tight.

"I didn't."

Pinky let out a couple more tears, then hugged back. Steven and Spinel stared in shock as the two Pearls began to fuse! Spinel couldn't believe it. She didn't want to think it... but she was jealous... mad!
