The Crystal Gems. Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl, Lapis, Peridot, Jasper, and Steven. Saving Beach City from everyday fears, the Crystal Gems have always been revered for their duties and favors.
There is usually something strange going on with them.
Jasper warped back from her battle to the other members of the Crystal Gems. She took many deep breaths as she stepped off of the warp pad.
"Welcome back, Jasper," spoke Garnet in her usual monotone voice.
"Ugh." Jasper simply grunted as a response to the fusion of Ruby and Sapphire.
Jasper sat back on the couch, in between Peridot and Pearl, who were in the middle of a conversation. She stretched out her buff arm to change the channel. She pressed a few buttons on the remote. "Wrestling", she growled, "my favorite".
Lapis came downstairs from her room, which she made herself. "Hey everyone."
Peridot looked away from Pearl, who was trying to talk to her, and looked straight at Lapis. She got up and walked outside, obviously embarrassed. Steven was playing a game on his 3DS when he noticed Peridot walking outside. He put down his system and walked outside.
Lapis shrugged and walked downstairs. "So, what's up?"
Peridot sat on the sand at the beach. Steven Quartz Universe ran after her. Peridot sighed deeply, looking out into the waves.
"Peridot! Why did you leave?! This is the fifth time this week you've decided to run away when Lapis came! Do you hate her or something? Please patch this up..."
The green gem took a deep sigh as a tear formed in her left eye. "I... I don't trust anyone with this secret..."
Steven grabbed Peridot's hand and started shaking it. "Tell me! Please! I want to know!"
"W-Well, I guess I can tell you a bit of it..."
Steven got ready to listen.
Peridot sighed. "I just want her to talk with me more often."
"But you can't talk with her if you always run away," the boy replied.
"Well, I... I might have a little bit of an... admiration for her."
Steven's eyes became stars. "You love Lapis?!"
Peridot gasped and looked around. "I-I-I... She looks like a great hugger?"
Steven smiled. "Don't worry! I know what to do!"
The boy rushed into the house.
Peridot placed her hands on her face. "Oh no, what have I done..."
"I just want her to stop leaving," Lapis explained to Pearl. "I wanted to talk to her. She always makes funny jokes and stuff."
Steven ran into the room. "Lapis!"
"What is it, Steven? I was talking to Pearl." Lapis looked noticeably tired.
"Can you try to get Peridot back from the beach?"
Lapis' eyes widened. She blushed a bit and shook her head. "Uhh, sure." She got up and walked outside, slamming the door shut in panic.
Pearl looked scared. Steven sat down next to her, looking at her as if he was going to ask her what was wrong.
"Lapis... I'm not sure what she's going to do. I was talking to Peridot before, and since it was late at night she was confessing things. Apparently, she loves Lapis. The whole thing really came out of nowhere."
Steven nodded and shrugged.
Garnet, who was sitting in the corner, reading a book, suddenly put it down and walked over to Pearl and Steven.
Pearl felt a wrench in her gut, worrying that she had said something wrong.
Garnet shortly smiled and giggled. "Don't worry Steven, that was a wise choice."
Jasper groaned from upstairs, where she was watching shows on Steven's TV with Amethyst. "GAH, just apologize already, Pear! You're driving the entire Crying Breakfast Friends fandom nuts!"
As she was about to punch the TV, Amethyst stopped her. "Dude, calm down, it's just a show."
Jasper screamed, "SHUT UP! I'LL LET YOU KNOW PEAR X APPLE IS MY OTP! AND NOBODY WILL EVER CONVINCE ME THAT IT'S A BAD SHIP! EVEN CANON!"
She summoned her helmet and was about to bash it down on the TV.
"I'M AN ETERNAL SHIPPER, BABY!"
The orange gem toppled over as she was just about to destroy the TV and fell downstairs.
"Jasp!" Steven ran over to the largest member of the Crystal Gems.
Pearl sighed. "I just... I just want to know how this Lapis crush thing began."
Garnet sat down and looked into her future vision.
"Don't worry, it's not going to be a secret for too long."
