I’d always thought that the first meeting between Amethyst and Topaz took place off panel, but one of my commenters who obviously has much better reading comprehension skills than I pointed out that there’s a panel of Prince Topaz in the very first issue:

He looks very different than when he pops up next doesn’t he? So I wonder how Topaz managed to transform himself so quickly:

• After falling in love with Amethyst at first sight, he decided that he had to have hair that looked just like hers, so he ran to Lady Tourmaline’s Extensions-O-Rama Hair Salon and bought himself some long flowing blond locks.
• Not content with merely having blond hair, he decided to trade in his orange scaly armor, puffy shirt, and purple toga at Beryl’s Bangin’ Breeches - Specializing in tight knickers since the reign of Lord Ruby!. Lord Beryl insisted on making Topaz wear pants that would match his yellow eyes.
• I find it notable that in his first appearance, Topaz is perched in a balcony staring off into the distance. I don’t know why he has this odd fetish for standing in high places, but it is good to know that his odd habits were firmly established in the first issue of Amethyst.

Really, this version of Topaz looks much less foppish and more serious, even though he is oddly passive about watching the future love of his life being manhandled or ogrehandled as the case may be.
