Cardi POV
"And then she hugged me after I had stroked her hair" Ari finished. "So little Black does have a heart" Yellow smirked. "Ugh, I was half asleep, I didn't know any better" I crossed my arms. "Or maybe you are just soft?" Yellow whined me up. "Alright that's enough you little-" I started to attack Yellow but Blue pulled me back. "Black! Control yourself!" Blue yelled. "Yellow should learn to shut her mouth next time!" I yelled, thrashing out at Yellow. "Okay punishment room now!" Yellow took me from Blue and started walking to the punishment room. "No no no! Not again!" Ari yelled, trying to stop Yellow. "Out of the way Red!" Yellow shouted, pushing Ari aside. "Do you want to end up like Black?!" Blue yelled at Ari. "Yeah, why don't you lock me up in the punishment room and tell me off so everyone can know how abusive you are!" I shouted. "Quiet Black! You've gone too far even for you!" Yellow yelled as she was about to throw me into the punishment room. "Cardi!" Ari yelled. I was thrown into the darkness and I punched the walls grumbling. After a while, my knuckles started to bleed and I didn't care. I kept punching, wishing Yellow and Blue and White were shattered. I was cursing myself for leaving Ari, for I knew she couldn't survive by herself. I started to cry in anger and in sadness and in frustration. I hit the wall one final time and fell to the ground. I didn't realise it, but I fell asleep and had a nightmare about Ari.
"Cardi!" She cried as she was in the darkness. Suddenly, White appeared with a knife and I heard a stab as White stabbed her. "Ari!"
I woke up as Blue entered the room. "Black, I'm very disappointed in you. Say sorry at once!" Blue yelled. "I'm sorry. Just let me out, please" I mumbled as Blue looked quite pleased with herself. "Thank you" Blue picked me up and brought me back to mine and Ari's room. Ari was sleeping on my bed, the covers wet with tears. "She got through a whole packet of tissues" Blue whispered as I jumped off her hand and made a shooing movement with my hand, indicating Blue should go. After she had went, I got onto my bed and hugged Ari and as I was about to fall asleep, I felt her hug me back.

I was half asleep when I felt a hand on my hair, and this time it wasn't Ari's. I opened my eyes quickly to reveal.."Pearl?" Pink's Pearl jumped as I said her name. "M-my Diamond! I-I'm sorry, I just thought I'd come see you today and-" Pearl started. "You came to see me, saw me asleep and touched my hair?" I asked. "U-um yes, but I have a good explanation why-" Pearl stuttered. "Hey, it's fine. Everything is chill. I don't mind if you come to touch my hair at all" I shrugged as I felt Ari move in her sleep. "R-really?" Pearl asked. "Nope, get shattered" Pearl looked terrified as I lifted my hand. I looked serious for a second but then burst out laughing. "Oh my stars, that was so funny!" I laughed as Pearl blushed. "Oh no. Pink is calling. Goodbye my Diamond" Pearl waved as she headed out the door. I sat there for a while, Ari leaning against me when I heard her croak. "Cardi" she croaked. "Yes Ari?" I asked. "Sing me a song" Ari looked up at me. "No. You know I hate singing" I rolled my eyes. "Please?" Ari did her puppy eyes and I gave in. "Oh alright" I rolled my eyes and looked at Ari fondly. "Yay!" She cheered as I started to sing.
You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy, when skies are grey
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
"Happy now?" I asked. "You know you have a lovely voice Cardi" Ari smiled up at me. "Don't touch me" I edged away from her. "Did Blue give you a proper telling off?" Ari asked. "Yep. Almost cried" I said sarcastically. "Aw you poor thing" Ari tried to hug me but I stopped her. "I was being sarcastic you moron" I rolled my eyes as Ari looked sad. "Oh come on, you know I'd never really call you a moron" I smiled as Ari looked relieved.
