Summary
"Now I know what your thinking. This thing doesn't look like a Rose Quartz. So in order to prove that this is indeed Rose Quartz, I brought in a gem-identifying robonoid!" Yellow Zircon announced.
The robonoid scanned the hideous creature that was supposedly "Rose Quartz". Yellow Zircon pulled her screen out waiting for the results.
Blue Zircon stood there nervously, clutching her own screens. Once the robonoid revealed that this was indeed Rose Quartz, there wouldn't be much she could do for her. They'd both be shattered, Rose Quartz for shattering Pink Diamond, and herself for not completing her task.
Which was to prove Rose Quartz innocent.
Yep, she's definitely going to be shattered.
Just then, a notification popped up on Yellow Zircon's screen, signaling that the results had come in. Yellow Zircon opened it smugly, already knowing what it would say.
Yellow Zircon opened the message, and almost dropped her screen from shock. She couldn't believe her eyes. This couldn't be possible. The robonoid had to have been broken or tampered with.
But no, the robonoid was not broken, nor had it been tampered with.
That was no Rose Quartz.
That was a Pink Diamond.

“You usually love getting new weapons, our little badass Pearl. If it’s cause you broke the last two you know I don’t mind.” Despite Pearl having turned her head Bismuth kept her hand on Pearl’s shoulder.
[.] Bismuth moved so she was kneeling in front of Pearl on the floor, her head just slightly below Pearl’s where she was sitting on the wall of Bismuth’s lava pit. She reached out and cupped Pearl’s face gently. Always so gently. It startled Pearl into opening her eyes, letting tears run down her cheeks
.
As soon as Rose left Pearl turned back to Bismuth. She leaned up and pressed her lips against Bismuth’s cheek softly, lingering as long as she dared.
When she pulled away Bismuth was smiling at her sadly. Pearl’s face was a good mirror. “Do you really think Rose Quartz will care so much?”
Pearl glanced at the doorway and back. “No, I’m not sure if she’d care at all. But. I do. The last thing I want to do is get you involved in something so complicated.”
Bismuth chuckled weakly. “Well, at least she has a chance of deserving you. You were made for Diamonds Pearl.”
“Thank you, so much Bismuth.” Pearl turned toward the exit, partly because she needed to leave, but partly to hide the tears gathering back up in her eyes. She was made for Diamonds.
She couldn’t get close to Bismuth and lie to her like she had to to everyone else. She couldn’t fuse with her and keep a secret. And Pink Diamond needed her.
.
Pearl sent many silent thanks to Bismuth. She had had to cut so close to Pink Diamond’s gem. If it was any other sword she might have cracked her. She wished she could thank her in person, but Bismuth had been gone for a long time now.
.
They hadn’t talked about what they could have been after that first night, but Bismuth had continued to be a solid presence for Pearl that she could really use right now.
But even if she was here Pearl could never tell anyone. Maybe it was better she was gone and Pearl was alone.
Alone with the secrets and the lies. Right where she belonged.
.
Looking at Bismuth in her bubbled form was like a kick to the chest. She couldn’t stop the tears even if she wanted to.
Pearl reached up and gently held Bismuth’s bubble by her fingertips. Having heard her voice so recently in person she could hear it even better in her mind than usual.
‘ This is Earth! This is Freedom!’
Was it?
Pearl kneeled on the floor of the temple.
Bismuth was trapped in a bubble and Pearl was trapped in a web of lies she couldn’t see herself ever escaping. If this was the price of all the so-called freedom, then what’s the point? She felt so far away from Pink’s smile now.
Pearl held the bubble up against her gem.
For just a day she had been so close to Bismuth. She was still so close to Bismuth. She could just…
For a second her fingers tightened on the bubble.
Then released it entirely.
It floated up and Pearl sobbed into her hands.
.
Bismuth moved her hand to Pearl’s face, wiping her tears herself. “Did she really make you pretend to shatter her?”
Pearl put a hand over Bismuth’s on her face. “Yes. she did. But I wanted to. I wanted to do it for her.”
Bismuth pulled her hand away. “Of course you did. You were in love with her and she used you. She used you and left you alone. UGH. It makes me mad!”
Pearl left her one hand on Bismuth’s forearm, even as she slumped back into her own space. When she spoke it was quiet. “I don’t… Have the right to defend her to you. But when she left and I was alone there was no one I wanted next to me more than you. But, I’m not really… anything you thought I was. Some days those words you said to me way back then. They were the only thing that got me through. But I never deserved them. Or you. And I’m so sorry for deceiving you.”
Bismuth put her hand over Pearl’s. “Oh sweetheart. Of course you are. You were always our rebel Pearl. I don’t blame you for this mess. I can’t. Not when I saw first hand how it was back at the beginning. Rose was something else. I would have followed her to the ends of the galaxy. I never faulted you for falling for someone like that.” Bismuth’s eyes welled up. “I’m so happy I could at least be there for you darling.”
“Oh Bismuth!” Pearl jumped up and wrapped her arms around Bismuth’s neck. Bismuth put her arms around Pearl’s waist and pulled her down into her lap so she was straddling her. “I always want to be your Pearl! I missed you so much, I thought about you all the time! I was so alone for so long I just…”
Bismuth pulled Pearl back so she could look at her face. Pearl’s hands not falling from Bismuth’s shoulders. “You shouldn’t ever belong to anyone again Pearl. How about I belong to you this time? Hm? You wanna own an old Bismuth?”
Bismuth chuckled breathily an inch from Pearl’s mouth. Pearl smiled. “We belong together.”
