Just quick little stories of Peridot's little misadventures inside the barn when Steven and the gems are on missions and Lapis is away. Enjoy!
Chapter 1: Shirts
"Have a good flight Lapis" Peridot waved goodbye to her roommate as Lapis flew off into the blue sky.
Peridot looked around at her surroundings making sure she wasn't being watched.
She swiftly ran into the barn and grabbed a chest open
She giggled pulling out a pair of Jean shorts and a red shirt with a star on it.
She put the clothes over the top of outfit and displayed herself inside the barn.
She began humming a familiar tune.
"We... are the crystal gems! We'll always save the day! And if you think we can't we'll always find a way! That's why the people of this world believe in...
Perma Fusion, Soldier Quartz, Defective Pearl, the Steven and the great and lovable PERIDOT!"
She said loudly gesturing to herself in Steven's clothes. "Oh peridot, who knew you were the perfect leader for us clods!" She said mimicking Pearl's upbeat voice.
"Peri you're so smart and funny!" She said in a gruffer tone mimicking Amethyst.
"Yes. You are so much better than me and my friends" She said in a low British accent mimicking Garnet.
"And we all think you make the best friend for Lapis Lazuli!" She said in a high pitch scrawny voice to mimick Steven.
"Why thank you gems! I suppose I shall take care of that cloddy corrupted gem!" She beamed walking around proudly.
"Peridot you are very impressive, and I am a Clod to not have been your friend sooner!" Peridot said in a low toned voice to attempt mimicking Lapis.
"And you're right, I am a Clod! Why didn't I listen to you great and lovable Peridot?" She said in a sort-of sophisticated yellow diamond mimick.
"Oh hush now Yellow Diamond, it is apparent that you and your Homeworld clods are NOTHING for the crystal gems!" She said triumphly moving about like royalty.
She then began chuckling widely and running out the barn.
"I'm so scandalous!" She giggled naughtily. "Wearing a 'shirt' outside!" She said like it was inappropriate.
She giggled and rolled around in the grass, feeling freedom to do whatever she wanted.
"Look I'm Steven!" She said pumping her fists into the air.
"I'll hit you with my shield and it will hurt!" She said mimicking Steven again.
"Still can't believe he hit with with that shield." Peridot said under her breath, remember when she was confronted by the Crystal Gems the third time.
Peridot sighed and walked back slowly to the barn. She looked up at the blue sky.
"Life and death and love and birth... and peace and war on the planet earth" she sung quietly glancing up at the clouds.
"Is there anything that's worth more..." She began to feel soft tears well up inside her eyelids. Things have really come far ever since she got stuck on Earth.
"Than peace and love on the planet earth" she finished whispering the last word.
The grass waved in the wind and the clouds danced across the sky gracefully. She leaned her head up watching as each movement passed by.
She began to vision Lapis flying around in the clouds. She imagined Amethyst next to her, eating and cracking jokes.
She saw Garnet stargazing and Pearl humming peacefully in the moonlight.
She visioned Steven playing his ukele next to Connie and his dad, and soon imagined herself cuddled up to everyone in a group. Lying under the stars and letting go of all her traitorous thoughts and Homeworld memories.
"Is there anything that's worth more?" She asked herself smiling and walking back into the barn content.
