Pink Diamond just stared confusedly up at the Diamonds. Secret? She was sure she had any secrets she was keeping. Steven, seeing that she looked a little bit confused, looked over at Pearl. The latter's Gem glowed, projecting a memory from her past. Pink just stared down at it, unsure.

As each memory played, Pink began to take notice that things were slowly starting to flood back to her. She was beginning to remember her past.

"Pearl?" She suddenly spoke up, surprising everyone and causing Pearl to stop showing Pink her memories.

Pearl didn't say anything, just standing there and staring over towards Pink Diamond. Her immediate reaction was the same as everyone else's was: stunned into silence. None of them was sure what to say.

Steven was the first to speak up after a few minutes of silence. "M-mom??"

Pink backed away from him. "Steven? How do you-?" She stopped suddenly and then began to speak up again. "How do you know? Does everyone here know?"

The rest of the group nodded in unison and Pink Diamond just stood there, silently, for a few short minutes. Her look of pure confusion turned to a look of anger and she focused her attention over towards Pearl.

"Pearl?"

"I'm so so sorry, My Diamond, but I had to tell everyone the truth. And look around you, some good came out of it. If I hadn't done so, that town over there wouldn't exist."

"And what about YOU GUYS?!" Pink shouted, her eyes on the Diamonds.

All Yellow, Blue, and White Diamond did was just exchanged equally worried glances with one another. What were they going to say to her?

White cleared her throat, focusing her attention back over towards Pink. "There's a lot that's been happening since you left, Starlight, quite a lot."
