          ~~~ (Y/N) POV ~~~

     We arrived at this large pink station of sorts.

Diamond: "Before we arrive at Homeworld, I need to take a quick stop. There is something I need to do here."

(Y/N): "Okay."

Diamond: "Come with me."

     I nod as all three of us get up from our spots and headed out.

Diamond: "What do they call you?"

     I looked up at her.

(Y/N): "My name is (Y/N)."

     Diamond stopped at one of the doors.

Diamond: "I see. Pearl, take (Y/N) to the Quartz Room."

     The Pearl put her arms up, and did a sort of salute.

Blue Pearl: "Yes, my Diamond. Follow me."

     She walked to the exit of the ship as I followed. The station was large. with long hallways. As we walked a Blue gem was walking down the halls toward us.

???: "Ah, I see Blue Diamond is here. I shall escort the human myself, you may go back to your Diamond."

     As the gem started to reach for me I stepped back and Blue Pearl spoke up.

Blue Pearl: "My Diamond requested I take them to the Quartz Room."

     The gem was taken aback for a moment before composing herself.

???: "Oh, well then, I would hate to interfere with Blue Diamond's orders."

     She continued on her way, as we continued ours. We eventually made it to a large set of doors, that Blue Pearl opened to reveal a room of pillars, and a lot of bubbled gems. I sat on one of the stair steps.

(Y/N): "So, who was that? In the hall?"

Blue Pearl: "Holly Blue Agate. The care taker of the Zoo."

(Y/N): "Oh. I see."

     After another minute or two, the doors opened as Blue Diamond entered. 

Blue Diamond: "Now. (Y/N), what do you know about Pink?"

     I looked down.

(Y/N): "Not much. I just heard that Rose Quartz shattered her. There is the memory I have, but other than that, I don't know anything."

     Blue Diamond looked down and nodded. Letting a tear drop.

Blue Diamond: "It's true. That traitorous Rose Quartz. It is unfortunate what happened to Pink. But maybe more memories will come to you."

(Y/N): "Maybe."

     Blue Pearl looked at a holographic pad of sorts and turned to Blue Diamond.

Blue Pearl: "My Diamond, It is time to check the integrity and reports of the station."

Blue Diamond: "Of course. (Y/N), please come with us."

     I look up at her, and I nod. I get up and follow them out of the room, down the halls.

          ~~~ TIMESKIP ~~~

     Blue Diamond finished her check up, and we headed back down the halls. Blue Diamond stopped at a room and turned to me.

Blue Diamond: "(Y/N), please wait in this room while I finish some things here, then we can go to homeworld."

     I nod as I enter the room.

          ~~~ Blue Diamond POV ~~~

     As (Y/N) entered the room Pearl closed the doors as we headed back to the Quartz room.

Blue Diamond: "Pearl, close the door."

     Pearl closed the door as I sat down and cried. Weeping over pink. At least I have a piece of her. Maybe they would be enough. Soon the doors opened as Yellow stepped in.

Yellow Diamond: "Please tell me you're joking. You only just left and you're already back?"

Blue Diamond: "Yellow, what are you doing here?"

     I dried my tears and turned to her. 

Yellow Diamond: "I'm here to bring you back to reality Blue."

Blue Diamond: "I'm fine. Just leave me alone."

Yellow Diamond: "It's been thousands of years Blue, and you still can't bring yourself to destroy these gems? She was shattered by a Rose Quartz, the entire cut of gems deserves the same fate."

Blue Diamond: "But they were hers."

Yellow Diamond: "They should be wiped out of existence, not kept safe in bubbles."

Blue Diamond: "Yellow, she made them, this is all we have left of her. These gems, this place, and the Earth."

Yellow Diamond: "I thought we agreed, we need to put that planet, and this whole debacle behind us. "

Blue Diamond: "Why can't you just let me grieve."

Yellow Diamond: "You can't keep coming here forever."

Blue Diamond: "Why not?"

Yellow Diamond: "Pearl. Do something. Sing for her, make her feel better."

Yellow Pearl: "Yes, my Diamond."

     Yellow Pearl cleared her throat, and then cleared it louder toward Blue Pearl. They started a harmonious melody.

Yellow: "Why, would you want to be here? What do you ever, see here? That doesn't make you feel worse than you do? Tell me, what's the use of feeling, blue. Why, would you want to employ her, subjects that destroyed her? Why keep up her silly zoo? Oh tell me, what's the use in feeling blue. An army has a use, they can go and fight a war. A sapphire has a use, she can tell you what it's for. An Agate terrifies, a Lapis terraforms. Where's their diamond when they need a Blue? You've got to be a leader Blue. Yes, of course we still love her, and we're always thinking of her. But now there's nothing we can do. Oh tell me, what's the use of feeling, what's the use of feeling, what's the use of feeling, blue. How can you stand to be here with it all? Drowning in all this regret. Wouldn't you rather forget her. Won't it be grand to get rid of it all? Let's make a plan of attack. Start looking forward and stop looking back. Yes of course we still love her, and we're always thinking of her. Don't you know I miss her too? But tell me, what's the use of feeling, what's the use of feeling, what's the use of feeling...."

     Yellow turned away and leaned over, obviously hurt. But she calmed down, finishing the melody with a hum. I went to her and comforted her. I was about to tell her of the human, (Y/N), when the door opened, the Agate walking in with a Sapphire and a Ruby.

Blue Agate: "My Diamond. My gracious, wondrous, luminous, lustrous, Diamondddddsssss. Oh, my! It's truly an honer to bask in your radiances."

Yellow: "Get to the point, Agate."

Blue Agate: "Yes of course, my deepest apologies. You'll be pleased to know your Sapphire has completed your special delivery."

Blue Diamond: "What special delivery?"

Blue Agate: "The special delivery you requested from Earth, of course."

Blue Diamond: "I never asked, any Sapphire to go to Earth."

Sapphire: "I, uh, my, future vision, foresaw you, my Diamond, desiring more humans, for the zoo, so I, acted accordingly."

Blue Diamond: "It's true. The window for preserving Earth's specimen is closing."

Yellow Diamond: "Is that what you want? Sapphire, has the cluster emerged yet?"

Sapphire: "No it has not."

Yellow Diamond: "Then there's still time. That will be all."

Blue Agate: "My Diamonds."

     She bowed, and left. The doors closing behind her. I turned to Yellow.

Blue Diamond: "But Yellow, you should see who I met. They know about Pink. They remember something from Pink's eyes. They remember that day, that moment."

Yellow Diamond: "Impossible. What gem dares say such lies? They must be punished at once for such ignorance."

Blue Diamond: "No, it wasn't a gem. At least, we don't think. A human, their name is (Y/N)."

Yellow Diamond: "(Y/N)? A human remembering Pink? Humans don't live that long, it can't be true."

Blue Diamond: "They told me them self. They remember being in front of Pink's Palanquin."

Yellow Diamond: "Don't delude yourself."

Blue Diamond: "Why don't you come see them?"

      Yellow rolled her eyes and sighed.

Yellow Diamond: "Fine."

     We opened the door and walked down the halls. I led Yellow to the room (Y/N) was waiting in.

Blue Diamond: "Pearl, open the door."

     She bowed and opened the door. As soon as we entered we got this overwhelming feeling of hope, usefulness, warmth, and excitement. I felt myself smile. I looked at (Y/N) who was sitting on the floor, unaware of our entrance.

     ~~~ (Y/N) POV ~~~

     I was sitting on the floor. I finally felt like I was useful. Someone wants me, they want to help me, I am finally worth something

     Blue Diamond: "Ahem."

     I got up and turned around to see Blue Diamond with a Yellow Diamond. I got nervous seeing the second figure, Blue Diamond and Yellow Diamond stopped smiling.

Blue Diamond: "(Y/N), this is Yellow Diamond."

     I smiled and waved.

(Y/N): "Hello there."

     Yellow Diamond squinted at me.

Yellow Diamond: "You look, familiar."

     I tilted my head and looked at her in confusion, thinking.

(Y/N): "Oh right, maybe you saw me in the background of Peridot's call."

Yellow Diamond: "Which Peridot?"

(Y/N): "Hm, I forgot what she said her Facet was, but I recall some of the conversation. She questioned your authority, seemed to annoy you, and then called you a, I think it was, 'a clod' before hanging up?"

Yellow Diamond: "Hm, I vaguely recall something like that. I suppose so."

     Yellow Diamond took another look at me. She got down and leaned closer. After a moment, she got up again and pointed at me.

Yellow Diamond: "What is that on your face?"

Blue Diamond: "It appears to be their gem."

     I nod. Yellow Diamond turned to Blue Diamond.

Yellow Diamond: "I thought you said they were human."

Blue Diamond: "They are."

     I nod again.

Yellow Diamond: "This is absurd. If you insist on taking this thing with you to homeworld then so be it, but I refuse to be apart of your delusion."

Blue Diamond: "But Yellow-"

Yellow Diamond: "I have had enough of this. Come back to homeworld."

     Yellow Diamond turned around and left, Yellow Pearl trailing right behind while giving Blue Pearl a stuck up look, and then looked at me, with disgust. Blue looked down at me with an apologetic look.

(Y/N): "I have heard a conversation with her before, she isn't the best listener is she? Well, at least that is what my one experience tells me, no offence."

     Blue slightly smiled and nodded, then frowned. She turned and motioned for Blue Pearl and I to follow.
