This story takes place right after Steven leaves Beach City, where Pearl gets bored of her usual things and decides to go exploring the cosmos with Bismuth.

Set around fourteen years in the past, where twenty years after Rose Quartz and Greg Universe found love with each other, are married and soon to-be parents. Pearl has come to accept this, and all though the gems believed she got over her little crush on Rose, she never did. In fact her puppy love of a crush turned into real love. Pearl knows that Rose will no longer be with them soon, as she is giving up her physical form to have her and Greg's son. So, she can't help but tell Rose what she has really been feeling all this time. So she thinks it's best do it now before Rose gives up herself for Steven.
