Today
Pearl (12:07 am)
Hi! I hope I am not disturbing you. Steven showed me how to text with this new mobile communication device. I just wanted to make sure we have confirmed our appointment: four thirty in front of the Big Donut?
Pearl (12:10 am)
Sorry, I forgot. It’s Pearl, by the way.
Mystery Girl (12:15 am)
I know who you are. I saved the number when you called me ;)
And yes, we have confirmed our “appointment”.
Even if
Pearl (12:16 am)
Oh! Right, of course.
Mystery Girl (12:16 am)
calling it “appointment”
makes it sound extremely formal
doesn’t it?
Pearl (12:17 am)
You write extremely fast!
Oh, well, I suppose.
Pearl (12:18 am)
How should I call it, then?
Mystery Girl (12:18 am)
Call it a date.
Do you want it to be a date?
Pearl (12:21 am)
Yes.
Mystery Girl (12:21 am)
Took you a while.
Are you sure? No pressure.
Pearl (12:22 am)
I am sure.
See you at our date, then.
Mystery Girl (12:22 am)
Can’t wait :)

Mystery Girl (4:50 pm)
I’m sorry, I’ll be late.
Motorbike decided to stop in the middle of the road.
It should be fixed now, but made me lose a lot of time.
I should be there in half an hour.
Pearl (4:51 pm)
It is no problem!
Thank you for telling me, I was starting to worry.
I’ll wait here.
Mystery Girl (4:51 pm)
How long have you been waiting?
Pearl (4:52 pm)
Just a couple of hours.
Mystery Girl (4:52 pm)
WHAT
Hadn’t we agreed for 4:30???
Pearl (4:53 pm)
I like to arrive beforehand.
Mystery Girl (4:53 pm)
That’s some beforehand!!
Alright, I’ll be there ASAP
Pearl (4:55 pm)
…yes?
Mystery Girl (4:55 pm)
As Soon As Possible.
Pearl (4:56 pm)
Oh.
Oh!
Great! Don’t worry. Take your time!

Mystery Girl (8:47 pm)
Hey :)
I just wanted to tell you that I had a lot of fun today
and that I find extremely cute how you have me saved as “Mystery Girl” on your phone
and that I also am your almost only contact
Pearl (8:50 pm)
Hi!
I had a lot of fun too.
Pearl (8:51 pm)
I don’t have any acquaintance in possession of a phone, except for Steven, Connie and, well, yourself.
And how was I supposed to save you as? I didn’t know your name yet!
Pearl (8:52 pm)
Actually, to be fair, I still don’t.
Mystery Girl (8:52 pm)
Liar
I told you
Pearl (8:52 pm)
S?
That is your name?
Mystery Girl (8:53 pm)
Nickname.
Pearl (8:53 pm)
That’s some nickname!!!
Mystery Girl (8:54 pm)
Are you mocking me? :P
I like S as a letter
and as a sound
maybe one day I will tell you my full name
but I wouldn’t be Mystery Girl if I didn’t keep some mysteries, would I? ;)
Pearl (8:55 pm)
Sounds logical.
I will keep having you saved as Mystery Girl then.
Mystery Girl (8:55 pm)
Fair enough.
Pearl (8:55 pm)
:)
Mystery Girl (8:56 pm)
Wow!! An emoji! You’re human, then!
Pearl (8:56 pm)
Is this what it is called? An “emoji”?
Actually, you are wrong. I am not human.
Mystery Girl (8:56 pm)
What are you then?
Pls don’t say vampire. I’ve had enough of that joke.
Pearl (8:57 pm)
I am not a vampire. I am a gem.
Mystery Girl (8:57 pm)
Ahaha!
You sure are :)
Pearl (8:58 pm)
Yes, I am.
So are my friends.
Steven is half-gem too.
Mystery Girl (8:59 pm)
You’re weird sometimes.
But also very cute.
The cute type of weird, y’know?
Pearl (9:00 pm)
No, I do not know.
Mystery Girl (9:00 pm)
I didn’t either, until I met you :)
Pearl (9:01 pm)
ThNak oyu
I mean, thank you.
I
Think you’re cute, too.
Mystery Girl (9:01 pm)
Can I call you tomorrow?
We can schedule another “appointment”.
;)
Pearl (9:02 pm)
Yes! Perfect!
If I don’t answer, I may be off fighting some corrupted gem.
But it’s fine! You can call me!
Mystery Girl (9:02 pm)
You’re really something.
Goodnight, then.
Pearl (9:02 pm)
Goodnight!

Mystery Girl (03:04 am)
Hey, anyway, I’m really glad you came up to talk with me at the concert.
Pearl (03:06 am)
I am glad I did, too.
Mystery Girl (03:07 am)
You’re awake???
Why aren’t you asleep???
Pearl (03:07 am)
Us gems don’t need to sleep.
We can, of course. Amethyst does like it. I don’t.
Why are *you* awake, instead? You humans need at least 8 hours of sleep per night!
Mystery Girl (03:08 am)
Gems and humans. Right. You’ll have to explain this joke to me someday.
I just really like the night.
I like to run with my motorbike and watch the night sky.
Silence.
Stars.
Space.
I love it.
Pearl (03:09 am)
I love it too.
Space is beautiful up close.
There is my Homeworld there.
Mystery Girl (03:10 am)
There is my Homeworld too.
Pearl (03:11 am)
I think you are mistaken. You are a human. You are born on Earth.
Mystery Girl (03:11 am)
A girl can dream.
Pearl (03:11 am)
You are weird.
Mystery Girl (03:12 am)
Weird weird or cute weird? ;)
Pearl (03:12 am)
Cute weird.
Pearl (03:13 am)
You should go to sleep now. Otherwise, you won’t have enough energy tomorrow to call me and schedule the “date”.
:)
Mystery Girl (03:13 am)
You win this round.
Talk to you tomorrow.
Goodnight, Pearl <3
Pearl (03:13 am)
Goodnight, S.
Pearl (03:14 am)
