Summary
“Well,” Pearl flits her eyes to the ground. “I must admit, this is not how I expected this all to go.”
“What?” Stevonnie doesn’t move. Their voice is still dreamlike—still emerging from that peaceful place between sleep and wakefulness where they’d spent the past hours.
“Your training. It…I…I intended for it to be something of an apology, an olive branch of sorts to use a human expression, but—”
“An apology?!” Now, Stevonnie’s voice is nothing but wakefulness. They sit up. “For what?!”
Pearl slowly sighs. “When you fused for the first time, I—”
“Oh.”Bookmarked by Kjsr_stan

Summary
“Do you know what I think my mom fell in love with about this planet?”
“Organic life, of course. Humans.” Yellow gestures to Steven. “Obviously.”
“Well, yeah, but not just them. Us. I think it was this stuff too.”
She squints. “These weeds?! These...dying outgrowths?!”
“With things that change. Things that grow.”
Steven and Yellow, changing on Earth.

Summary
“You’re trying to determine whether we’ve met before, but you can’t decide.”
Pearl’s face falls into a sheepish grin as she’s roused from her thoughts. “I suppose I used to try harder to hide my feelings.”
“You could just ask.”
“And validate the Homeworld propaganda that Pearls are indistinguishable from each other?” She smiles in a peace offering of levity.
But the other Gem’s expression remains steely, and when she responds, her voice is deadpan. “Yes, that would run contrary to your whole mythos, wouldn’t it?”
“My mythos?”
“Oh, yes. The Renegade Pearl. You’re a mythic figure. Surely you know that.” There’s no compliment in the Gem’s voice.
When a group of Pearls arrives on the newly independent Planet of Earth, Pearl is forced to reckon with the stories others have told about her.

Summary
Pink—that is, Rose—is ecstatic these days, constantly shooting starry-eyed glances toward the fusion, and half an instant after Pearl realizes that she resents that fact, she realizes too that that resentment terrifies her.
Pearl and Garnet's respective identity crises orbit each other like binary stars.
