shattered memory

rose wanted to pretend she didn't notice it. 

more specifically, she wanted to pretend she didn't notice pearl. how pearl would scowl in disgust at anyone eating, even though rose was certain she didn't do that a few months ago. how pearl would immediately walk away from any hibiscus when rose was almost sure she'd loved them before. how pearl would stare and stare at rose's sword, how she would lightly shake until someone spoke. 

rose wanted to pretend she didn't see it. 

but she did. 

when garnet had gone on some mission to look for some of the shattered gems they'd seen (both crystal and homeworld), she had made her move. 

"pearl," the gem looked up at her immediately, willing to hang onto every word just like she always had. rose sighed. "do you... were you- affected by my supposed shattering?" 

the former servant looked like a deer in headlights, before changing her expression and beginning, "rose, i know you weren't shattered, why would i be worried?" 

"that's not an answer." rose's voice, so often like petals, soft, floating things that brought comfort, was hard as diamond.

pearl didn't look her in the eyes. "i- yes. just the thought of you being shattered- and it took you so long to reform, i- what would i do without you, rose? i don't want you to be shattered!" 

rose sighed again, a useless breath that she didn't need but used to stall time. "that's understandable, i don't want you to be shattered either. i am... sorry. that i made you do that." how could she make this better?

 oh! a lightbulb lit near her head. she had reformed to be rose quartz, now and forever, but certainly she still had some powers as a diamond, right? it would be difficult to do this to someone she loved, but... she’d be helping her. "pearl, do you trust me?" 

"i would trust you with anything, m- rose. yes, i trust you." 

"alright." with that, rose put her hand softly over pearls forehead. "then as my last order to you as a diamond... please, forget i ever was one."

no pearl could disobey a direct order from someone who had once been their master.

millennia later, steven's voice rang over the kitchen. "pearl, did you- by any chance... shatter pink diamond?" 

pearl looked up from her phone for a moment with wide eyes, then looked at rose's (pink's) son. "no i- i didn't. whatever gave you that idea?"

CRASH AND BURN MEMORIES: YUI KIMURA

SHATTERED MEMORY #378-B

Fixing bikes can teach you a thing or two about hotwiring. All these generators are connected on a grid. With one last spark, it was all done. The buzzers ring out over the farm, it was the best sound she’d heard since she got here.

Scrambling to her feet from behind a mangled excavator, her legs carried her towards it – the sweet sound of victory – the adrenaline racing through Yui’s body reminded her of the race with Shinji. She gave it all up to save her enemy. Was that why she was here? To attone for her sins?

A quick look over her shoulder garnered her the gaze of another, a friend you might say. The door is right in front of her, Yui can practically touch freedom!

But… what’s the point of winning if there’s no one left to raise the trophy with?
