| An Extraordinary Human For An Ordinary Diamond |

[2] What Just Happened?

I awoke, placed on something... warm? I let out a small groan as I heard a loud voice talk above me and another quiet voice talk below me. I opened my eyes and nearly shrieked; I found myself  in the palm of a giant, blue lady! I shivered in fear whilst most of my senses returned to me. The giant blue woman spoke in a quiet voice.

"So small, so fragile, so... terrified. Why are you afraid of me, human? I have done nothing to harm you." Uh, yeah. I think the lady didn't realise I was unconscious for a period of time. I felt an urge to reply, but I was so shook I couldn't speak. She inspected me again after a moment of eerie silence. "What's this liquid, human?" She pointed to the blood on my knee and the scrapes on my face and body. My clothes were torn and tattered, which exposed some more bloody wounds. She poked them gently as she could with a giant, blue finger. I let out a shriek, pulled my knee back and whimpered. She looked shocked, almost sensing something was wrong. 

"Are you alright, human? Please, don't be afraid of me." She took me up higher in a careful manner so I was eye level. It was only now I could see her features as the sunlight blocked them before; she had light blue hair, sad blue eyes with peculiar diamond-shaped pupils. I finally found yourself speaking.

"I-I..." Or rather, stammering. "W-what's your... n-name?"

"My name is Blue Diamond," She paused for a moment, obviously thinking. "But please, do just call me Blue. What's your name, and what is wrong?" She still seemed to notice something was wrong. I thought I was hiding the pain well; obviously not. I seemed to not stammer this time around; something in the back of my mind tugged at me to not be afraid. She lowered me a little bit so she could see me from another angle.

"My name is Alexandra, Blue." I failed to answer her second question. Why was I talking to this colossal, cobalt blue, alien-like woman I didn't even know? Hello, stranger danger?

"Alexandra..." She gazed off in thought. "that's a lovely name. May I ask why you wont tell me what's wrong?"

I seemed to freeze at the question. "I'm just... a little scared. I mean, would it be right to tell you? I've never met you before..." I looked down to the diamond-shaped gem in the middle of her chest. "... and you're certainly not human."

She chuckled a little bit. "Very observant. I wonder if that's why she loved them so much."

I gazed at her a little bit perplexed. I tried stretching but yelped again. She cast out of her thoughts and looked back down at me. I tried stretching once more and pain shot through me, causing another yelp. I whimpered. She started stroking me with her thumb, a sympathetic look on her face.

"That noise doesn't sound healthy. Please, I ask you again, what is bothering you?" She was very patient. "I don't know a lot about organics such as humans, but, I want to help you, Alexandra."

I sighed, letting a bit of the anxiety out, before speaking. "This one here," I pointed to your knee. "happened in school; I tripped over and hurt myself."

"Hurt, as in hurt your form?" Blue asked. "What is this 'school' you speak of?"

I looked at her and processed what she had said. "I mean, hurting my form would be one way of putting it. To answer that other question, a school is where humans learn about the Earth. Do you know what the Earth is?" I asked.

"Oh, you poor thing. I do know what the Earth is; the Earth was one of her colonies." She looked at the other scrapes. "How did you get those?"

"Tripping over a rock and tumbling down a hill." I giggled a tad. She gave a worried glance at the scrapes, assuming they also meant I hurt my form. "The liquid is blood. How come you know the name of the planet, but not know what a school is?" I asked. "Are you like... some intergalactic alien who's scouting this planet? Been past Sirius, Betelgeuse, UY Scuti and Canis Majoris... but then, what brings you to Earth? I'm only assuming things, sorry. I shouldn't. I know you mentioned this was... a colony?" My face was a picture and a half, and I knew Blue wouldn't be able to understand everything I just said.

"I shall tell you that in a bit, little one." She replied.

"I'm twelve. I'm not little." I frowned. "Though, that being said, I technically am considering I'm not a teenager yet." Blue chuckled heartily, a tear of joy escaping her right eye.

"You are a very literal human, Alexandra. You don't consider anything to be metaphorical." She sighed, composing herself.

"Well, I am autistic. You can't exactly blame me." I joked, letting out another giggle. Though Blue didn't fully understand what I said, she laughed too. "You're right; I can't blame you." She paused momentarily. "Say, can I take you with me to get your form fixed?"

I pondered for a moment before answering. "Sure, but can I take the milk and bread with me?"

"I assume you mean these?" Blue asked, holding up the bottle of milk and the loaf of bread. "Yep." I answered. She put them on her palm which I laid down on, before she carefully started moving me.

I held onto her thumb as a huge blue arm appeared in the sky. Suddenly, it slammed down on me...

***

I found yourself inside the arm, which was actually a ship. Futuristic panels and machinery decorated the ship. All of it was a cobalt blue, like Blue Diamond herself.

The room I originally arrived in when I ended up in the ship. 

"I'll call the organic specialist I brought along; lucky I brought her with me. Pearl, please can you put a line up to Amazonite Facet-5T3D Cut-9TQ for me? Thank you. Also, please help Alexandra get comfy in my chambers." Blue ordered, putting me down in front of a big blue chair. I saw a light blue figure whom I originally thought was a hallucination.

"Yes, my Diamond." Pearl crossed her arms in a weird way, forming a diamond shape before she called the supposed Amazonite via a holographic screen. I heard talking, but knew better than to listen to it; after all, I was in the presence of an alien queen who from what I've seen, everyone called 'my Diamond'.

After the call closed, which I didn't notice, Pearl stood next to me. She had light blue bangs in similar shade to Blue's body tone; a cobalt, which also covered her eyes. She had light blue skin, lighter than her Diamond's hair, but only by a small margin. In the middle of her chest she had a whitish-beige pearl-gem-whatever. She wore an outfit which reminded me of what ballerinas wear, except the tutu, which was replaced with a transparent skirt and all of it was blue.

She held her hand out, but I knew I couldn't grab it. "Pearl, I can't move."

Pearl looked up to Blue Diamond, who stopped whatever she was doing and looked down. "Pearl, gently carry her to my chambers." Blue emphasised that 'gently' a little too much.

"Yes, my diamond." Blue Pearl proceeded to lift me up as I tried not to yell out in pain.
