Pearlplusau animatic #1: The Great Divide (By Tripixle)
I believe this was the first animatic that introduced the AU.
Full video description and brief analysis below:
So in the beginning, we were given a glimpse of Pearl's original position, which most of us believed to be White Diamond's pearl. (This was before the canon origin of Pearl was released.)
Pearl had a brief eye contact with Pink Diamond's pearl while they passed by. There we can tell they probably weren't super close or anything, just Pink Pearl (who I will be calling her Coral from this point on) casually waving at another pearl like they were acquaintances in the same office.
After Pearl was assigned or "given" to Pink Diamond (without Coral getting hurt and replaced), she found her new diamond panicking over her burning throne while Coral was doing her best. Pearl realized right then and there what she was getting into for the rest of her gem life. She activated the sprinkler system and accepted her new role and post.
The next scene showed how Coral was a bit nervous around the new pearl. Her quick glances were noticed by the aloof-looking Pearl but her friendly handshake was finally started their relationship. (This is most likely how the two introduced each other similar to the short comic.)
We see Pink balancing on a giant ball with Coral by her side. Pearl came in, flipped out, and rushed to her now wobbling diamond. Coral was less worried but she joined in on the mayhem. Pink fell down and both pearls caught her. The trio, now laying on the floor, was stunned for a moment. Pearl got up and checked if her diamond was hurt in any way, but the diamond couldn't help herself and burst into laughter with Coral. It looked like Pearl was able to finally let herself go from her own strict codes and officially join the two as a group.
After Pink got her first colony, Earth, from Yellow and Blue, she had fun adventures with her pearls but found out how it was damaging the planet. She formed the rebellion starting with her two loyal friends.
After their encounter with the permafusion at the sky arena, the trio came to a rest and discussed their excitement. The trio accidentally fused from their shared excitement and startled the passing permafusion, who later joined in as Garnet.
The next scene cut to a battle with Homeworld gems, where we saw the Crystal Gems had the upper hand from the battle. Unfortunately, it was also the last battle as three diamonds launched a direct attack on the planet Earth. Rose realized what was truly going on and grabbed the closest gems to her, Coral and Garnet. The other closest member, Pearl, was too far for the leader to reach, but Coral was not one to give up on her companion. She screamed at Pearl, urging her to come over. She was finally within reach and into safety as the light shone bright green.
Skipping a few storylines, we see Rainbow Quartz being shown off to Greg the human. Coral looking a bit upset seeing Greg (or RQ?). We then move on to the talk of Greg and the leader of the Crystal Gems. Coral was found to be just as worried as the rest.
As Rose gave out her big announcement to the gems, Coral forced out a smile, trying to be happy for her leader while Garnet and Pearl took a different turn. Coral tried to keep the group together but failed to do so as everyone wanted to be alone.
Pearl was found weeping behind a stone hand by Coral. The two pearls wasn't sure whats going to happen, but they know they'll get through it when they have each other.
After that its a sequence of major events in rapid pace, from Steven joining the team, to Opals appearance, to the fight with Sugilite, to Coral's fusions with the gems, to Stevonnie, to the arrival, to the Malachite arch, to Coral's confrontation with Pink (Story for another time), to the Sardonyx arch, to Coral and Garnet's fusion, to the Rupphire wedding, and finally, to the Diamond days arch.

Aw man, I haven't seen this animatic for a super long time. So glad I was able to find it on youtube, which was re-uploaded by someone else after the original got deleted.
I'll be posting another animatic I found online, but the other two animatics are still nowhere to be found. To whoever's reading this, please take a look at your downloaded folder and see if you have the following animatics downloaded:
1. Listen before I go
2. Coral's part in "Here we are in the future"
If you've read to the end, I really appreciate it and hope you can help to spread the word about the missing animatics above. It will be a great help to me and the rest of the pearlplusau fans!
She was struggling the entire night, trying to figure out the pain in her after the event. However, she couldn’t keep on with the pain while pacing the endless room forever. At some point, she got so tired she decided to try the “meditation” exercise from Garnet, “Meditating can help you relax and clear your mind, especially my mind when im a new fusion” She once said.
Behind the gem, the room decided to show a visual representation of a memory, the problem. It showed a figure on a pink working desk with a giant mirror, a giant bowl of pebbles, along with equipment such as tweezers, containers and a dropper filled with pink fluids.

Pink was testing out her essence on the newly arrived pebbles in her experiment chamber, but that day, she was out of her game.
“These pebbles should be emerging right now! Why isn’t this working like how I planned!?”
Before she barged in her chamber and tried to distract herself with work, she was rejected, yet again by Blue and Yellow of getting her own colony. Blue repeated it hundreds of times, “You’re not ready, you haven’t achieved your full diamond powers yet, without that being taken control, you could potentially destroy your own planet without starting the colonization!”
She was filled with more rage than ever! Yellow didn’t even blink an eye when she stormed out of the pool chamber, “We’ll let you know when you’re ready.”
“UGHH!” The smallest diamond frustrated and full of built up energy, the yet to emerge pebble was not helping her calm down, she tightened her fist, she stood up from the desk, and BAM! Where the working station was, stood a pile of rubble, with the giant mirror the only thing still intact.
She was surprised, taken aback, she noticed her slight glow from her physical form and her gem, which returned to her normal tone when she finally calmed down. She got down to her knees and speculated the damage in front of her.
The working station was in a state beyond recognition, the tools and essence containers are all in shambles, the pebbles were all scattered about, some chipped while some cracked, with none in good shape.
She was examining the pebbles with little damage, but then she heard something from the pile…
“Help…me…” A small, newly formed pebble was stuck under the piles of debris, “I can’t…get up…” The little thing tried to reach out...
The pebble’s face was covered in cracks, she was not going to make it.
Pink was mortified, it was very hard to believe, was this all from the new power? Was this all her fault?
How can she love, when the people she loves suffer around her?
She composed herself, dried off her tears and sadness, and did what was best for the new gem in pain.
Outside of the chamber, pink pearl was just clearing up the toys lying around, until she heard a thundering crash from her diamond’s workplace at the other side of the wall.
The pearl wasn’t keen on entering the experiment chamber of her diamond, but her diamond was taking a comparatively longer time than last time.
She stowed the toys away and knocked on the chamber door.
Knock knock
“Yes Pearl?” Her diamond responded from the inside.
“My diamond, is there something wrong? You’ve been in there for an awfully long time, is there something I can do for you?”
“….”
“Why yes pearl, there is. I need you to bring me one of my rare sapphires, there is something I need to consult…”
“Of course, right away my diamond!” Pinkpearl scurried off the room and went in
Realizing her destructive powers are getting out of hand, She asked Coral to invite a competent sapphire and leave them be.
The pink sapphire entered the room in a little dress with various heart designs, her gem located at the side of her dress.
“Sapphire, I am concerned with a certain...force of destruction in the upcoming future, can you tell me anything about it?
The pink sapphire spoke to her diamond, “My diamond, I foresee something that is not in your liking. If the destructive force you spoke of is not tamed, someone you cherish, someone close to you, someone dear to you, will endure eons of pain and suffering for the rest of their gem life, and it will never be healed.”
Pink diamond made a small but unrecognizable “gulp” sound, but she kept her composure.
“Anything else you can tell me? Maybe an…alternative to…prevent that specific outcome?” Pink questioned nervously, gritting her teeth, trying her best not to speak from her mind.
“I can try...my diamond, but my ability of predicting another outcome comes in…a different form.” The sapphire tried to look further into the future, and she found something, but what was spoken out of her mouth was not to her diamond’s liking.
“To lessen the pain of the one you hold dear,
Another must endure, it must be a peer,
Instead of one in sole pain and agony,
One shall hurt, but it will be an irony.”
Pink diamond was not pleased, she opened her mouth and tried to say something, but for a while she was speechless, moments passed and she was able to blurt out, “What…what was that?”
The sapphire slightly gritted her teeth, as if she was embarrassed of her extra special ability. “Apologies My diamond, but that is the only way to showcase glimpses of another outcome, you would have to decipher it, and come to your own conclusion.”
Sighh, “Very well, thank you sapphire, that will be all.”
The sapphire left the room, back to her duties.
Pink diamond became nervous after what the gem said, she thanked the gem and dismissed. After some thinking, and some anxiety, she realized the gem that would be hurt forever would be her own pearl!
“Nononono, I…I can’t risk losing her! She's the closest gem I have as a friend! I can’t…”
As she covered her face with her hands, she went through the poem one more time.
“Wait, it must be a peer?
She turns her attention to the edge of the working desk, a little diamond shaped pink box with three ribbons in white, yellow and blue wrapped around it. She gently lifts the box, and sighs, “If it can help me save pearl from eternal damnation, I’ll do it.”
Pink brings the box outside of the experiment chamber, and was met with her pearl.
The small gem salutes her diamond, “My diamond, is everything alright?”
Pink went to the centre of the room, placing the box in the midst.
She opens a gift from the other diamonds, they thought having another pearl might help her organizing her stuff, she wasn’t keen on opening it, until now…
The ribbons were unwrapped, the box was opened, and out comes a glowing shell with a pearl levitating from the box, “Please identify yourself.” The voice was rather different than pinkpearl.
“Pink diamond.” Pink stated while pearl observed from the other end.
“Greetings Pink diamond, please refer customization options.” The gem announced.
Pink was trying to not shove the gem back into the back, regretting her choice of opening the box in front of pearl, she also didn’t want her to think the new gem was replacing her. Moments passed by, and she didn’t say anything.
“Default setting selected, please stand by.” The gem floated with grace, rising to higher altitudes and glowed into a form of a pearl figure. Multi Color palettes were the design for the default setting, so when she walked off the platform, she was the only figure not entirely pink.
Pink reached her hand out to pinkpearl and said, “Pearl, come meet the new pearl from the other diamonds.”
“Ohh, a new friend! Hi! I’m pearl! What’s your name?”
“Greetings pearl, I am Pearl.” The multicolour pearl politely greeted, but it left Pink confused in how to differentiate the two.
It took her a moment, but she quickly came up with a solution.
“You know pearl, since she’s also called Pearl, why don’t we give you a nickname? You know, so it won’t be confusing.” Pink suggested to pinkpearl.
“Why of course! Another nickname! What will it be?” pearl said excitedly.
“Yep, and this time, it's gonna be different! How about…Coral?”
“I love it!” To be fair, pearl would have loved any name she was given, so she never thought of it once whatever Pink suggested.
For once, Pink was able to sigh without the need to worry about something else, everything was going well as the two pearls stood within her sight, facing one another, smiling bigger than the other.
The view glitched, and everything turned different, Pearl and Coral, pointing weapons at each other instead of the first smiling version
The images paused and dissipated all around the room. At the last moment, Rose gasped, lying sideways and waking up from her deep slumber.
The last image she saw, imprinted on her mind, bothered her even more.
“I… I need to find them and set things straight before anything terrible happens!”
She got up, rushed out from her room and immediately ran into the future seeing fusion, Garnet.
“Oh! Garnet! Hurry! I need to know where Coral and Pearl are, do you see them anywhere?” Rose unintentionally demanded while shaking the fusion by the shoulders.
After the intense shaking, Garnet pointed to the warp pad and said, “Pearl said if anyone needs her, she would be at the sky arena with Coral, they should still be there.”
“Ohok good, I’ll just, go check up on them, hopefully nothing’s going on. Haha…ha…” and immediately rushed to the warp pad,
SHiinningggg
End of part 3
(A/N: heyho! If you read till the end, you get some additional information!
At this point (If you did the bingo card that is) you should have a bunch ticked, but there doesnt seem to be a complete line? If it is, then congrats! You’re getting close!
BTW the next part is the last for the chapter! BYE!)
The first ever interaction of Coral and Pearl by Tripixle
PearlPlus, a lil comic abt Pearl First being given :0
The second post ever thats pearlplusau content in her instagram, right after the first post which is the cover page for this blog.
(Hopefully this up here can take you to the original post) *fingers crossed* (if not you guys should really let me know)
The so-called “trouble” by Blue Diamond, obviously implied something of a serious matter. Maybe not as serious as breaking her pearl and stuff, but its probably close.
For Pink Diamond, she was Not happy with a new pearl being a supervisor on every action she would do and did. (At least, you know, Coral didnt got hurt and replaced or anything, which is so much better.)
Coral on the other hand, looked very interested in her new companion, she took one glance and whispered-greeted her. “Hi” and started a friendship bond with the new pearl (kinda).
(A/N: Just wanna remind y’all that im setting a schedule for posting anything regarding pearlplusau content cuz story-writing takes a lot of time and imma be honest, i’ve been busy with my studies, and i havent even started on the second part of chapter 5.
I have this “unplanned schedule” that i could only start really writing and developing the chapters when im at my semester breaks, which is the usually three weeks of May, October and December. I’ve planned the overall storyline until the end of the original series tho, but it might take longer than expected.
So hopefully you guys can stick around until then, but for now, it’s gonna be repost of artworks from various artists or a quick writing if/when short but great ideas kick in.
