Steven's POV

This fight I was trapped in would go on no longer.
How dare my own pearl turn on me!
Before I could block her attack, pearl charged toward me with her spear and hit me straight in the gem. I had never noticed how strong she was until my back slammed against the wall, cracking the glass it was made of and sending a sharp jolt of pain up my spine. She had knocked my breath away, I can tell you that for sure! I gasped for air and hit the ground, agitated and exhausted.

This is ridiculous! Me, a diamond, losing a fight to my own pearl!
I chuckled at the thought whilst I stood up, rubbing my back in pain. She yet again flew towards me, but I was ready for her this time.

"that's ENOUGH!" I
shouted, stomping my foot in rage. To my surprise, the shout cracked the walls, the floor and Pearl's gem. She hit the floor and attempted to get back up, but fell again letting out a squeal of pain. I walked over to her and kneeled down by her head; her gem was badly cracked.
"Look, I don't know what that was or what you were trying to do, but I'll heal your gem anyways and we will never speak of this again. Understood?"

"N-No!" she sputtered
"What? I'm healing you, you'll shatter if I don't do anything about it!" I yelled
"I-I'll tell the authorities what you've done!" She squawked.
" I AM THE AUTHORITY!" I shouted back at her, now seriously ticked off.
At this rate, I was genuinely confused and just mad.
I don't have time for this! I have a meeting with blue and yellow, I have reports to sign, I have really important things to do and yet I'm here in a fight with the gem that's supposed to be helping me with these things.

I had lost my trail of thought and slightly drifted towards thinking about everything and nothing at the same time, however, I had been dragged back down to reality when I noticed pearl running towards the door.

No way am I letting her go.

I had to think, fast. I created a spear that was shaped like the shard of a diamond, threw it in the air, jumped up and gave it the perfect kick. I had kicked the endpoint of the spear so that it would fly like a sort of arrow, I learned that trick when I was training with jasper not long ago.

As expected, the arrow flew straight through her gem, pushing right against the cracked part of her gem, the crack growing and growing until...

Done, finally.

I walked over to the broken pearl lifeless on the ground and bubbled it, lightly tapped the bubble and the arrow, causing them both to disappear, only leaving behind small sparkles on the floor.

"Jaaaspeeer! Oh jasper, where are you?" I mockingly called.
She came from around the corner and gave me the diamond salute before answering:
"I'm here, my diamond"
"Ah! yes, there you are!" I replied.
I jumped up and floated towards my throne, landing pretty well for the first time trying!
"Ummmm...okay! Update me, are there any new Pearl's in the reef ?" I asked.
"Uuh...would you like me to check, my diamond?" Jasper responds, slightly confused
"You know, you can just call me Steven if you'd like. And yes I would like you to check, please"

I watch as she checks her tablet, looks baffled, then continues to scroll.
"Huh..there are no new pearls, unfortunately. If you don't mind me asking, Steven, what happened to your recent pearl?"
"Oh her? yeah, I shattered her a couple of minutes ago," I say, combing through my hair
Jasper looks at me, shocked.
"W-Why did you do that?" She asked.
I began to rant about how she attacked me out of the blue and nearly cracked my gem whilst jasper stood patiently, nodding along.

"Hold on a sec...did you say there are no new Pearls?" I had realised what she'd said.
"None, suprisingly"
"Well, what am I going to do then! I can't do all this work by myself! why won't the reef generate Pearls anymore!" I rambled, extremely agitated.
"Um...Steven, you'rere glowing again" jasper muttered.
I looked at my hands and was nearly blinded by the glow I was emitting. I took a deep breath and tried to calm down before I blew something up again.
"So...what now?"
"Might I suggest... a h-human pearl?" jasper suggests
"A human pearl? Jasper! You're a genius!" I praised
"I-I am?" She gushed
"Yes! One of the finest quartz soldiers out there! Come on now, we're going to earth. I need a pearl." I beamed

And with that, we both left.
