Author's notes: Since I forgot to post yesterday I'm going to double post today. The song of the day or yesterday is "Crazy" by Patsy Cline, a great love song based around how crazy we must be to hold on hope for those we love to continue to love us when giving options between us and everyone else, it's a good song for those too shy or scared to reveal their feelings to those they love considering silence will drive them into the hands of another. The video and music belong to their respective owners.

Pearl looked up from behind the couch hair slightly dishevelled her eyes fell upon the perpetrator of the scare, Garnet just stood there laughing with the voice of a child "Garnet! What's wrong with you?!" Pearl yelled angrily "Oh! You should've seen your face, Pearl." Garnet said before going back to laughing "Ruby?" Pearl asked confused at that Garnet snapped to attention, personality changing in a instant "Sorry about her." another voice said this time much softer replacing that rough one "Sapphire what's going on?" Pearl asked desperately, a look of fear crossing her face "We have to speak with him." Sapphire said motioning to Diamond who sat quietly drinking his tea, Pearl reacted just as Diamond expected when she noticed him, Pearl jumped in surprise before lunging at him her spear stopped inches from his throat the only thing that stopped Pearl was Garnet yelling "Stop!" "Why! Why should I stop, you know what he's done!" Pearl screamed "He's come to talk." Garnet replied angrily at this Pearl pulled away from Diamond's throat turning her attention to Garnet what followed was a long argument, Amethyst all the while trembled, the man she was told was the Boogeyman sat across from her, the man she had nightmares about as a child, she was told about him by those who served Rose near the end of the War, the Monster of the Diamond Authority, she was broken out of her trance by Diamond asking her "Are you alright, dear?" with genuine concern after noticing Amethyst's constant trembling before Amethyst could speak, another spear was at Diamond's throat cutting their conversation short, this time it was wielded by one of Pearl's holograms another took a spot behind him this time a spear to the back of his neck "Pearl?" Amethyst asked incredibly quietly due to a deep thirst, looking behind Amethyst Diamond saw Pearl with a smirk spread across her face and behind her Garnet angerly glaring at Pearl, Pearl turned around only to be thrust into a even more heated argument, this sudden screaming caused Amethyst to flinch, what followed was five minutes of arguing, meanwhile Amethyst tried drinking the strange drink in front of her, but ended up spitting it out as the taste didn't agree with her palette, Diamond watching this small action took note of her reaction deciding tea wasn't the appropriate drink for this gem, with that Amethyst stood up walking into kitchen during this action she locked eyes with Diamond who looked rather miserable, there was a part of her that pitied him at this exact moment, but she let that thought pass as she walked past Garnet and Pearl as they argued, Pearl moved her arms in a cartoonish fashion while Garnet stood completely still arguing her point.
