Chapter Text
Pearl rustled through the dirt pavement, crackling emerged from every step she took, she glared ahead of her, then started to slow her paste, it was Martyn, he earlier had invited some of the others to participate in a game show, to figure out who their soulmates were, soulmates were everything around here, everybody had a soulmate, and they had to go search for that ‘lover’, and had to team up with them, or so that was normalized, She had been searching with Martyn to get her tools set up, to protect their partners when they find them. That was the plan. She continued to walk closer to Martyn.
“Hey Martyn!” Pearl waved, while Martyn glanced over at her, with a wide grin.
“Hey Pearl! Just in time for the game show, I’m just setting up, feel free to get ready.” He mentions while continuing to build out of netherrack? Pearl thought to herself, ‘that isn't the block I would personally choose for a game show, but suit yourself I guess..’ She figured it could be to symbolize a heart? But to be honest, she had no idea what he was building overall, she thought the best thing was to stay put, ready for this event Martyn was hosting, till’ some people came about.
“Hey Martyn, hey Pearl.” A cyan haired man came from the forest, slightly giving off pettiness, for some apparent reason. Followed by him, an orange haired zombie appeared. Cleo, Cleo and Scott, could they be our soulmates?
Martyn jumped down from his structure and greeted them with a smile.
“Hello Hello! Just in time for the game show, why don't you guys get into your places already? The event is beginning now.”
Everybody moved into their rooms, martyn has built 4 rooms side by side to each other, with one empty, guessing it would be used for himself. The game show was that he punched the people in the groups, the way of figuring out your soulmate, and you would both be hurt at the exact same times.
But then, Scott and Cleo exited their pods, along with pearl now, to follow the crowd and they all turned to martyn. Scott started to punch Pearl, they both got hurt at the same time. Pearl and Scott were linked, then Cleo and Martyn, also linked. Before Martyn could complain about scott doing the game show his own way, making it more anticlimactic, scott spoke.
“Don’t you get it? Me and Cleo have been searching for our partners this WHOLE TIME!! While you guys were having picnics in the nether. We wanted to find you guys, but you guys didn't bat an eye. So me and Cleo decided, we are going to be soulmates with each other, not you guys anymore, since you guys don't care whatsoever about our existence.’ Scott shouted, glaring at Pearl, as if she had done something wrong.
“Yeah, we are leaving, so go do your picnics in the nether on your own.” Cleo argued, more aggressively than scott.
Both Martyn and Pearl stood there in silence, pearl thought to herself ‘what? We were gathering materials to help sustain our partners! At Least that was what pearl was trying to do, not so sure about martyn, but how could scott just do that..?’ Pearl felt heartbroken, her one and only chance on being sustained and steady was from her partner, or now ex partner, then she thought of martyn, she could be soulmates with martyn, no matter how mad grian would get at all 4 of them with not going with how it is supposed to go, she could at least have one person to tend to, or so she thought.
“You know what, since they are going to ditch us like that, I might as well ditch you as well, you know, go screw yourself...” Pearl’s heart shattered once again, ‘how could this have gotten worse?’ She thought earlier, oh boy did it get worse. Martyn ran off in a westerly direction, pearl stood there alone, in disbelief, she had been ‘broken up with’ twice, in the matter of 5 minutes, how could that have happened..? She couldn’t believe it, she was about to cry, the aggressiveness of everyone really made her sensitivity grow. Pearl couldn’t have it, She tightened herself up, as if she had gained strength, she now had a new goal, to do everything to get revenge.
