    OOC: What if Greg and Rose never worked out?What if Rose never gave up her physical form to make Steven?What would the story be like if she was still there to take care of Garnet, Pearl, and Amethyst? This thread takes place many years after the war at around the same time as young adult Greg's existence; when Beach City is still young and growing.


    IC:
    The sunset. A lovely mixture of bright pink and orange hues splashed together against the canvas made of sky. Rose would smile every so often when a pair of gulls would glide their way over the horizon. It was all so beautiful.There was nothing like it on HomeWorld and no matter how many times Rose would witness the Sun's farewell; she felt as though each display was more magnificent than the last.

    Pearl had just finished organizing her collection of various and unique swords in her room after finding a new one she did not yet have while riding a nest of nearby centipeedles that had decided to make their home close by their beach house in a small cave-like crack in the mountain side on the beach. As she exited her room, Pearl stretched with delight, feeling accomplished and organized knowing that there were no other chores that needing her attending to. She walked over towards the window to look at the magnificant sunset that was taking place outside. This was by far Pearl's most favorite time of the day on Earth because she always watched the sun set with Rose Quartz until it got dark and the stars of the night sky shimmered down upon them. She could see Rose standing on the shore in her usual spot and couldn't help but smile. The sunlight hit her perfectly; her hair dazzled an even brighter shade of pink and her skin glimmered as the sun kissed it. Pearl walked out the door and made her way down the steps to stand beside Rose. "The beauties of Earth never cease to amaze me..." She said as she gazed out into the horizon.

    Rose jumped a little at Pearl's sudden apppearence, to which she chuckled at her own startledness. "Hello Pearl." She smiles at her dearest friend. "I couldn't agree more;It is quite a gorgeous sight." She trains her gentle gaze on the other gem. As if she was talking about Pearl rather than the sunset.

    Pearl blushed a little as she met Rose's shining eyes. "G-Good evening Rose." She began, "I hope I didn't interrupt your thoughts while coming over here unannounced." Pearl folded her hands together in a flustered manner, looking down and twiddling her thumbs as she tried to relieve her sense of awkwardness she now felt.

    "Oh,no of course not! You only startled me a little." The quartz gem laughs quietly and her features brighten as she replies. "I'm always happy to see you, my Pearl." Rose's eyes seemed to reflect her affection towards the other gem. She breaks her gaze away from Pearl's to peer off in the direction of the temple. "It's pleasant seeing how peacefully things have played out." Her eyes drift to the faintly glimmering, far-off lights of the growing Beach City. "The humans have been wandering closer..Garnet thinks we should put up another fence."

    Pearl was at ease to hear that Rose Quartz was still harmonious after that small surprise and relaxed herself. "Yes, it's been rather quiet as of lately for us, aside from that little mishap I had earlier this morning with those pesky centipeedles." She chimed, looking up from the sandy ground and towards the city where Rose's view was fixed on. "I do think it would be wise of us to construct another fence around our place... I suppose we shouldn't get too careless, a human could easily climb over the current barrier if they were curious enough."

    "True." Her lips purse at the thought.Then her mind flickers to when she herself went over their little border. "There has been one in particular who has been playing music not far off." She glances back at Pearl with a guilty look and a sheepish smile. "I went and approached him once, but I don't think he noticed me."

    Pearl's eyes widened at Rose's words as she stopped looking at the town and focused on her once again. "I've been hearing those mysterious sounds of music at night practically since we arrived here. A-And you came into contact with this human that's responsible for it...?!" She frantically said as she tried to stay calm. Pearl and the other two crystal gems have stayed away from the people of Beach City as best as they could, except when Amethyst would wander off every-so-often to peer out the chained fence. Pearl would have to grab her and then give a lecture about how dangerous it could be for them to get humans involved in their shenanigans. It was kind of hard to hide themselves already though since they had a noticeable temple and beach house. "Please excuse me saying so, but why did you go off on your own like that?" Pearl wondered, giving Rose a worried look. "I know very well that you can take care of yourself, but still...!"

    Rose didn't seem too concerned, though felt guilty for not telling Pearl sooner. "I couldn't help myself." She twirls one of her thick curls with a finger; her own personal habit that she had whenever she did something she knew she probably shouldn't have done. "He was singing about flying off into space with someone and never coming back."

    "Well, at least you're alright." Pearl said anxiously as she made circles with her foot in the sand. "I'm just glad you weren't hurt..." She inched closer to Rose's side as she spoke, trying not to make it obvious. "I don't know what I--I mean Garnet, Amethyst, and I would do without you if you just... Disappeared." Pearl looked out into the sparkling beach waters and chuckled to herself. "But that's nonsense, to think that that'd ever happen!" She looked back up at Rose Quartz. "Pardon my overreacting, I just get protective when it comes to the people I love." Pearl gave her a heartwarming smile.

    Rose's cheeks flushed a darker shade of pink and she laughs in an attempt to cover her embarrassment. "You're right.It is nonsense." Her eyes soften at Pearl's last sentence."And I know you do."She almost visibly winced at the remembrance of the war.Pearl had risked her life time and time again for Rose.She places an assuring hand on Pearl's shoulder."Thank you for being concerned."

    Pearl blushed at Rose's actions, the light-blue color spreading from her cheeks to almost her entire face; it was basically noticeable by now. "Of course! I only did what I thought was right through instinct." Pearl said as she scratched the back of her neck, feeling like her statement was rather cheesey. "I'm just looking out for us crystal jems, I only wants what's best for you, for me, for all of us..." She held both of Rose's hands in hers and blushed a darker blue hue. "Rose... I just wanted to say that I'm glad to have gotten to come with you to Earth. Being beside you like this have been some of the best moments I've ever had."

    She intertwined their fingers and smiled at her."You're welcome.My wonderful Pearl." Rose loosens one of her hands to lightly touch Pearl's cheek. Then, realizing that it might've made the other gem uncomfortable, jerked her hand away quickly. "Sorry." Her cheeks were stained dark pink.

    "N-No, it's fine. I don't mind, really." Pearl replied hesitantly, trying to point out that she actually enjoyed the touch of warmth coming from Rose's gentle hands. "It makes me feel safe to know that you're right here next to me." She did a plea yay to sit down onto the sandy beach and patted the area right next to her, motioning Rose Quartz to take a seat beside her. Pearl reached forward for her ballet slipper ribbons and untied them, taking the dance shoes off and setting them behind herself. She moved forward just enough so that the water just soaked the bottoms of her feet.

    Her lips let out a quiet sigh of relief as she adjusted her dress before she sat beside Pearl in the sand. "My my..the Sun is almost completely done setting." She observed and pulled her knees up to hug them to her chest. Not really caring that she was in a dress and it was considered unlady-like. "And here comes the moon."

    As the sun went down and the moon and stars came up, Pearl looked all around her in awe as the stars surrounded them in a dark yet glistening night atmosphere. She looked over at Rose and then back up at the sky where she was looking. Pearl slowly tilted her head to the side so that it rested on Rose Quartz's shoulder, unsure of what her initial reaction would be. "Sometimes I wish we could stay like this forever... Just... Worry free and not having to deal with troublesome Homeworld gems." She said softly, slightly nuzzling her face into Rose.

    "You and me both."The quartz agrees with a soft chuckle. "But at least for now we needn't worry.We've chased them off for now." She didn't move away from Pearl's touch."And if they ever do return, I will protect this planet and the ones I love.." Her eyes were firmly trained on the billions of stars that played in the great expanse of night sky.

    OOC: Sorry I haven't responded for awhile, I've been really busy with school and sports lately. With finals just around the corner in about 2 weeks, I'll more than likely be inactive during that time...

    IC: Pearl looked into Rose's eyes while she looked up into the dark night sky; they reflected off the many glorious, sparkling lights of the stars, which made her eyes twinkle. She smiled at the eagerness in Rose's voice as she made an oath to shield everyone on this Earth from evil. "And I will fight in your name and everything that you believe in..." Pearl pledged as she placed her hand over her own heart to show that she truly meant it. "I will be forever by your side, no matter what perils come our way."

    OOC: That's alright,no need to apologize! Good luck with your finals! ^ ^


    IC: The Rose Quartz gem blushes at the magnificent spectacle of stars that danced in the other gem's eyes. She smiles tenderly and envelopes her own hand with the hand that was over Pearl's chest. "And I with you." Her cheeks brighten to a lighter pink hue. "My wonderful Pearl." It was something she said often, but Rose felt that it wasn't said enough.
