Chapter Text
"...Are we going to continue training?"
The three looked at eachother, simutaneously, and dashed off in different directions leaving Pearl's question unanswered. She didn't see where Sapphire went. The woman moved remarkably faster than the other two ladies battling alongside her. All Pearl caught was a blur of her royal blue dress.
Ruby, on the other hand, summoned what appeared to be a boxing glove on her left hand. It was various shades of red and the worst part was Ruby was already in good shape. She was clearly very athletic and strong. Pearl didn't want to imagine what would happen if she came into contact with it.
Garnet summoned two gauntlets and charged right for Pearl, just as she did before. Suddenly, the spear Pearl had armed herself with earlier appeared. She gripped it tightly and positioned herself to block a potential attack from the tallest of the three opponents.
There was punching, swinging, grunting, and continous struggling between the two girls as they trained. It took every fiber in Pearl's body to keep from waking up. Who knew dreaming could be so tiring? She had to focus on staying in the dream, blocking attacks, attacking back, and keeping her balance. It was a lot to process all at once.
There was a sudden thud as Pearl hit the floor. She slipped and fell, her spear now fallen out of her grip and rolling across the floor far out of her reach. Garnet took this opportunity to launch herself at Pearl, flying towards her at full speed with her fist extended. As if almost on cue, a purple-redish haze filled the room. Pearl found herself having difficulty to breathe and soon Garnet was having trouble focusing too. The two girls had vanished completely from sight. Just as the seemingly poisonous gas reached Pearl, she woke up.
She was tangled within the blankets, her face squished into her pillow making it difficult for her to catch her breath when she first woke up.
"Uh oh..."
