A small pink Pearl lay on the ground in what looked to be an empty white room. It ascended and the gem reformed, landing softly on the ground, she looked around frantically before a bright white light caught her eye.

"Hello, Starlight." White Diamond's voice was calm and uncanny at the same time as she peered down at the tiny broken gem. Pink Pearl leapt to her feet, saluting as quickly as she could.

"M-my diamond." She stuttered, the gem trembled beneath White's gaze as the diamond smiled eerily down at her.

"There's no need for that, Pink Pearl, you've been such a good gem after all." The Diamond didn't move, but her words made Pink Pearl look away in shame and guilt. "Since you had been so good, I decided to give you freedom, but what do I get in return?"

Pink Pearl nervously shifted her feet, the eyes of the Diamond bore into her like daggers.

"Sneaking around in places a pearl should never be? With a crystal gem's weapon? I have to say, Spinel must have really had an influence on you, hmm?"

Pink Pearl froze, fear preventing her from being able to move at all, White Diamond's smile grew wider as she spoke.

"What is it Steven said? One bad apple can ruin the bunch? It seems like you've been ruined, pearl. And we can't have that." The diamond's eyes grew wide as she flashed the Pearl with a bright beam of light.

The gem collapsed, losing her color as her limbs stiffened into an unnaturally perfect pose, a tear streamed down her cheek as a small smile appeared on her lips.

"I will make you perfect. I will make everything perfect. And if it isn't...then I will destroy it."
