This is a little late I know, here's my story for Peridot's arrival home. Disclaimer I own nothing and I don't own the song love like you.
It was the night after Peridot talked to Yellow Diamond, it had been about sixteen hours since she called Yellow Diamond a clod. She was still reeling from it, one second she was just having a normal conversation with her Diamond the next she was calling her a clod, she wanted to be alone for the night so they made her a bed made of blankets to sleep on just for the night. Peridot got up and walked outside, the others were busy getting the drill ready for some tests. Peridot felt like such a failure, all she wanted was to make everything right and find some way to apologize for her comments about Rose Quartz and everything blew up in her face. She went to the other side of the barn and sang softly
If I could begin to be
Half of what you think of me
I could do about anything
I could even learn how to love
When I see the way you act
Wondering if I'm coming back
I could do about anything
I could even learn how to love like you
Love like you
Love like you
I always thought I might be bad
Now I'm sure that it's true
'cause I think you're so good
And I'm nothing like you
Look at you go
I just adore you
I wish that I knew
What makes you think I'm so special
If I could begin to do
Something that does right by you
I would do about anything
I would even learn how to love
When I see the way you look
Shaken by how long it took
I could do about anything
I could even learn how to love like you
Love me like you
Peridot walked back over to her blanket bed and sat back down, suddenly a warm wind blew into the barn and a rose fragrance filled the air, she heard someone singing
Oh young orphaned gem
Gem with no master
Gem who tosses and turns in a bed of just blankets
Trying to sleep, to see if it will make the heaviness in thine heart cease
You have burned your roots to your Homeworld
You cried for many hours
You attempted to get help from your master
She did not care
In your heart is sadness and fear
Anger and self-hatred
A broken shell
Ease thine heart
Oh Peridot
The feeling you feel in your chest
The tightness, the heaviness
It'll come to pass
It might take days
Might take years
But soon you'll feel lighter
Soon you'll realize you fit into your new family
Garnet, the mother and leader you must always respect
Even when she is split you'll find that you still respect her
Pearl, the eldest sister and one who will mother you at times
She is controlling, brash, sometimes she gets carried away yet you shall love her all the same
Amethyst, the middle child of this group, brash, reckless, and gross yes but
Fun loving, caring, empathic, you'll find the good will always outweigh the bad in the end
And Steven, your older brother who'll love you to the ends of the Earth
He's a tad reckless at times like Amethyst but this recklessness comes from his excitable nature
Naive, he may seem to truly believe the world is all peaches and roses but in truth
He sees the bad and the good, like his mother he loves everything in the world
This is your family, dysfunctional, silly; they get into arguments a lot
But with all the fighting, all the screaming and often hurting, there is much love within this family
Welcome Peridot, the Crystal Gem!
The wind stopped and the fragrance that filled the air vanished, Amethyst came into the barn and sat next to her before asking, "Why're you up?"
Peridot looked down and replied, "To be honest, I can't sleep."
Amethyst nodded, "I know the feeling, when Rose found me in the Kindergarten and brought me to the temple I couldn't sleep either. Rose then promised to stay with me the entire night until I was comfortable sleeping alone."
Pearl and Garnet, having noticed that they were up, sat with them. Pearl was the first to speak, "Peridot, you really impressed us today."
Peridot looked up, "Why though, I was being a clod and didn't explain anything correctly and now when we stop the Cluster Yellow Diamond will notice and come and shatter us all!"
"Yeah but you didn't mean to."
They turned to see that Steven was awake, Pearl asked, "Steven, why are you awake? It's ten o'clock."
Steven gave a sheepish smile and replied, "I couldn't sleep, I think I'm going to have to rewrite the Crystal Gems' song to include Peridot. Anyways Peridot you were only trying to help us and that was wonderful. You saw the value in Earth which makes you one of us."
Garnet sat Steven on her lap and Peridot replied, "But I only saw potential resources for Homeworld."
Pearl nodded, "Peridot, it was the same for Rose. She saw potential in the Earth that could've been wasted by hollowing out the planet. You both even said similar things, sure she didn't say the word clod but she still made Pink Diamond mad then we beat her Diamond and won the war."
"But I-"
Amethyst interrupted her friend, "P-dot, stop worrying about Yellow Diamond. Right now we should just worry about the Cluster right?" Peridot relented,
Garnet noted, "Even after living for a couple million years Rose Quartz still made mistakes, mistakes are what make us human."
The green gem gave a bemused look, "But we're gems."
Amethyst chuckled lightly, "Well I guess that makes us hybrids then, welcome to the club Peri."
Garnet smiled at the yawning child in her arms and said, "How about you two get to bed, we have to begin testing the drill tomorrow."
Garnet sat Steven on the mattress that now sat on the ground, it'd be a few more days before they could fix the truck completely.
After they left Steven asked in a hushed voice, "Peridot, would you like to sleep with me tonight?"
Peridot shook her head, "No thanks, I'll be fine."
After a moment of trying to sleep though she rushed onto the mattress and said, "Maybe just for a few nights, until we stop the Cluster."
Steven yawned and replied, "Anything you want sis, goodnight."
Peridot giggled at the nickname and whispered, "Goodnight big brother." As she drifted off to sleep the last thing she heard was Steven whispering
"Oh and Peridot, welcome home."
I figured that instead of making stories that the show will disprove before I can even publish the story I'll just make these chapters to welcome the new members to the family. Hope you liked this, next up is whoever joins next of course if you've seen that trailer CN accidentally leaked you'll know who's next. Oh and if you're wondering why Love Like You is sung my theory other than it being Lapis is that all of the CG's former enemies are singing to Steven.
