Stupid! Stupid, stupid, stupid!

How could you have let yourself make a mistake like that?! Now you've really messed up! You couldn't even do the one thing you were supposed to be able to do!

"You okay?" She asked, looking at you with worry.

"Y-yeah.." is what you had said. Maybe you could still find a way to fix your mistakes later, but right now, you needed to apologize. "I-i'm so -s-sorry.. I-I really should have been able to fulfill your request.."
she laughed at this, " 'fulfill my request'? Hey, it's okay. Really, There's no need to be like that. We told you already, you don't have to do anything for anyone." She said, giving a reassuring smile, making your cheeks heat up.. Again? Agh, what was it about her that made you feel so.. Weird?

"W-would you prefer if I-I don't act in that way..?"
"Yes. You're your own person. You don't have to do a thing for anyone." she put a hand on your shoulder, giving a comforting smile. There it was again, that weird feeling of your heart beats suddenly picking up at a fast rate and the feeling of your cheeks beginning to warm up. So odd..

"Alright,so obviously this isn't doing much to regain your friends memory," Peridot began, "when was the last time you saw her before she disappeared?" She asked.
"It was right after we told her Rose shattered Pink Diamond.. She broke down and took off.. After that, we never heard from her again.." Pearl explained, remembering the look of guilt and hurt in your expression after Pink Diamond was shattered. "Alright, would you mind showing me the direction she ran in?"

"...So, she ran out here? Well, let's see if we can find anything that can help us understand how she lost her memories so we can make an attempt to restore them.". The other gems all nodded in agreement and began looking for anything that could help. "Tanzanite, you wait for us. We can't have whatever happened, happening again. Steven, stay with her. You're good with people and gems." Garnet ordered. You both nodded in response as she left to search.

For a moment, there was silence, then, Steven spoke up. "So, uhh, Tanzanite. Do you remember anything about this place? Is it familiar at all?" He asked.
"I.. I don't know.. It feels familiar, but I swear i've never seen this place.." you responded, sitting on a log looking around as Steven sat next to you.

"Do you at least remember Rose? or Pink? or at least Garnet and Pearl..? They're really hurt that you don't recognize them."
"I.. I'm sorry.. I-I never wanted to h-h-hurt anyone.."
"hey, it's okay. I'm sure they understand. If it makes you feel any better, I always hurt people when I didn't mean to, too. There was Eyeball, Bismuth.. I left Eyeball in space, and I poofed Bismuth.."

"Bismuth..?" "Yeah, she was one of Pearl and Garnet's friends, too."
"hm.. 'Bismuth'.. the name sounds like one I might've heard.." "okay, that's good! Try to remember her." "She.. She was.. Di-didn't she build weapons..? Or maybe I have it wrong..?" "No, no, you're right! is that all you recall?"
"Y-yes—"

"We found it! we found the cause of this!" Yelled Peridot proudly, returning with the others.
"That's great! what is it?"
"That's the thing..we, uhh, aren't exactly sure.."
"oh, I see.."

"Ah! t-that thing..!" You flinched in fear at the sight of it.
"What's wrong? Know something about it?" Peridot asked. You took it in your palms and pressed the button, revealing it to be a scythe like weapon.

"I-I've seen this thing before.." you said, looking at it in fear. That's right, this thing was that same thing that made you forget your memories after you attacked yourself with it. "T-Tanzanite! You have to tell us what it is!" Pearl begged, realizing the importance of the object. You felt tears build up in your eyes and pressed the button again, causing the weapon to turn off as you dropped to your knees, letting the tears spill out before you into the dirt.

"Tanzanite.." Pearl looked at you worried. What could have possibly happened to make you so upset upon seeing the weapon? Lapis went up to you and knelt down to your height.
"Hey,I know you're hurting right now, but you have to tell us what happened or we can't help you. It's okay, you can tell us." she offered, trying to get you to open up. You simply looked up at her, meeting her eyes. For some reason, the strange feeling you got from this gem reminded you of something, but you couldn't quite figure out what it was. You felt more tears build up and shook your head in response, hanging your head as more tears fell.

"This isn't going to work right away. We need to give her space until she's comfortable enough to talk to us about it. Pearl, I know you miss her as much as I do, but we just need to wait." explained Garnet. They all agreed on this and everyone decided for now it would be best to return to the beach house.

"Bye, guys! Good luck with Tanzanite!" Waved Peridot and Lapis as they left, as the day ended and a new day began...
