Chapter 47: Home World

        "There it is! The passion! The fury, that caused the diabolical Rose Quartz to—shatter her own Diamond," the unknown yellow gem says dramatically. Yellow Diamond rolls her eyes, making you giggle. She looks down at you, a smirk gracing her lips before she focuses on the gem you assume is from her court. "But I know what you're thinking! This thing doesn't look like a rose quartz. And for that, I would like to call an eyewitness." You furrow your eyebrows, taking your attention off the yellow gem to focus on the ruby that appears on a pillar in front of you.

        "Oh, Eyeball," Steven calls, giving the red gem a soft expression.

        "Is that one of the rubies that was looking for Jasper," you whisper to Steven. He nods, a small smile gracing his lips as the small gem glares at him.

        "Do not address me, war criminal," she shouts, leaning forward on the stand.

        "I'm just glad you're okay...," he says softly, squeezing his knees to his chest. You ruffle his curly hair in an attempt to make him feel better.

        "I heard it straight from her," 'Eyeball' starts, looking at Yellow Diamond. "She said, 'I'm the mighty Rose Quartz! I've got her shield and everything.'" You and Steven frown at the mocking voice the ruby used to portray Steven. "And then...she threw me, into space!"

        "I—tried to help you," Steven says, "I healed your gem!"

        "And who else has the ability to heal gems other than the villainous—Rose Quartz."

        "Oof," you say, scratching your eyebrow before resting your chin on Steven's head.

        "And there you have it! Rose Quartz did it, and that's Rose Quartz. I rest my case," the yellow gem says, bowing slightly.

        "Oh, she's good," the blue gem, who you assume is defending Steven, says with a worried expression on her face. Yellow Diamond's pearl finishes typing something on the screen in front of her before closing it between her hands. You then glance at Blue Diamond's pearl and see that she has drawn a picture of Steven on her screen. She then proceeds to cross out his face with an X, making the young teen gulp.

        "Well, I'm convinced," Yellow Diamond says, clapping her hands together with a smile. "Time to execute!" You are about to protest, but the second Diamond beats you to it.

        "Not yet. The defense still has to speak," she says, looking at the gem from her court. She glances at the offending gem before beginning to sweat. The blue gem stands straight, adjusting her monocle before speaking.

        "Right! Well, uh...before I start my very, u-uh, thought out defense I'd like to remind the court that Rose Quartz did turn herself in."

        "The court remembers and the court does not care," Yellow Diamond responds, sitting back on her throne.

        "O-Of course," the gem starts again, more nervous than before. "I-Innocent! Uh, the word innocent can mean, oh, many different things..."

        "I did it," Steven suddenly yells. You frown, slapping your hand over his mouth. He pushes you off, standing up.

        "Whoa, wh-what?! Stop," the defense attorney stutters.

        "No." The blue gem flinches at the sound of Blue Diamond's voice, and you look up at her. "I want to hear what she has to say." The triangle you and Steven are on rises into a pillar upon Blue Diamond's command, a spotlight shining on the two of you. You stand up behind Steven, forcing yourself not to look down as you are brought to about the hip level of the diamonds. Blue Diamond's hand then reaches toward the two of you, and you gasp, preparing to protect Steven. But the Diamond grabs you instead. Two of her fingers cradle your waist, bringing you to her. You hold onto her hand to balance yourself, surprised at the warmth. She places you on the arm of her throne, positioning you to sit down. Your mouth is open in both shock and awe as you look up at the diamond. She rests her thumb on your head, the action gentle. "You shouldn't be on the stand as you aren't being questioned," her soft voice rings out. You nod slowly, watching as she turns back to Steven with a glare, her thumb still resting on your head and the rest of her fingers to your right.
