What do you think you're doing?
Defective
Broken
Malfunctioning.
"Peridot why are you muttering under your breath?" The Steven asked.
"Because this device is defective." Peridot hissed as she tried another search term.
"No, it's not." Steven replied with a laugh.
"I fail to see the humor of this situation." Peridot grumbled. "Your earthling technology is simply archaic." She slammed the laptop shut and drummed her fingers on the sleek surface of the lid in an attempt to release some of her frustrated energy. "I tried for hours and even your extensive. 'Internet' doesn't have any information on how to build myself new limb enhancers."
"Because humans don't know about Gem tech and limb enhancers. You nerd." Amethyst laughed.
Peridot rolled her eyes and muttered incoherently under her breath. "I gathered." Peridot glared at the laptop. "I'm going to take that away from you before you decide to murder it." Steven said as he tentatively reached across the table and slid the laptop toward him.
"It is impossible to murder an inanimate object." Peridot said matter-of-factly. Amethyst groaned under her breath. "Why do you talk like that?"
"Like what?"
"Like you're some sort of robot."
"Because I have a higher level of intellect." Peridot said, folding her arms with a very smug look on her face. Amethyst growled. "Look, I know you apologized for calling me defective, but the way I see it we're both short so I'll have no trouble smashing your face into the ground if you keep getting on my nerves."
"Guys quit trying to kill each other." Steven protested.
Peridot exhaled slowly. "Steven is right, killing each other would violate our truce agreement."
Amethyst shrugged her shoulders. "You know me, I like smashing stuff."
"Well try not to smash each other while I'm at school." Steven said grabbing his backpack and heading to the door. Peridot turned her attention away from Amethyst at the sound of this new term. "What is this school you speak of?" Peridot asked with interest. Amethyst groaned again. "That's it, I'm out I can only handle so much nerdiness, it might start to rub off. See you guys later." She said before she walked to the warp pad and teleported out of the house.
"What is school?" Peridot asked again.
"It's where people go to learn things." Steven explained.
"I'm curious, can I come with you to learn more about your human culture." Steven considered. "I don't see why not." He said after a moment of thought. "What could possibly go wrong?" He added.
Oh famous last words.
