It was a clear evening on beach city, and like most evenings, the crystal gems returned home after a long day on missions'. While the other's used this time to watch a movie with Steven before he goes to sleep or organize their room, amethyst preferred to take a long nap on the most confy of her piles of trash, she took a bunch of old papers from her pile of old papers, the ones on the top because those were dry, and used them has blankets, just after she closed her eyes, a familiar voice said her name.
"amethyst…" said pearl in a slygly annoyed tone.
Amethyst opens one eye to greet her teammate "yeeeeeeeeeees?"she said in a non-caring tone "what can I do for you p?"
"care to explain how this…humid pizza box made it up to my room?"
"Oh! That's all?" She closed her eyes again "three days ago Steven brought pizza, there were some leftovers and I thought you might want some "she said genuinely.
Pearl frowned and groaned "you know very well I dislike the process of …eating" she shivered to the though.
Amethyst rolled over her pile of trash to get more confy "who said anything about eating? She responded "I know you like the process of coking and that stuff…"
"So?..."Pearl asked, a little confused of what does have to do with this situation.
"So" she crossed her arms behind her head "I thought this pizza looked kind of cool and I wanted to show you, but you were not around at the time…so I sent you a couple of slices… your welcome." She smiled softly.
Pearl was in awe, this was such a weird gesture from her normally rude teammate, she looked at her suspiciously, then at the pizza box, all wet but surprisingly intact. "Well… thank you, that's very kind of you amethyst"
"Go on, Open the box p!" responded amethyst.
"Well, airtight!" amethyst opened her eyes wide open at pearls response, and observed has she opened the box, a sly grim slowly formed on her lips. A green, thick and smelly cloud rose, right onto pearl's nose.
Amethyst smile turned on a explosion of laughter has pearl's face twitched and acquired a greenish tone, tear drops started to form on the sides of her eyes
"HAHAHA! OH MAN I CANT BELIEVE YOU ACTUALLY OPEN IT" said amethyst clearly enjoying the results of her prank.
Pearl collapsed to the cold humid ground and started coughing out the rancid air that she inhaled.
"WHAT DID YOU EXPECTED AFTER A THREE DAY PIZZA BOX FLOATED TO YOUR ROOM?! HAHAHAHA"laughed amethyst has she wallowed under her makeshift covers.
Pearl looked at amethyst with anger in her eyes, her hands turned into fist's, she looked at the rancid and moldy pizza slices inside the box, out of anger she takes one and throws it at amethyst face, it lands just between her eyes, stopping her laughter.
Pearl smiled, proud of her aim, but it quickly returned to a frown after amethyst give it a non-caring bite at the slice of pizza.
Amethyst didn't knew exactly why she loved so much making pearl lose her nerve, maybe it was the way her face turns a side of blue when she is mad, or the way her nose wrinkles when she frowns. She definitely remembers the way she used to lecture her when she did something too reckless… maybe with more screaming and less after hugs, but it was the closest to those old times.
Pearl stands up, furious, ready to drop the heaviest scolding she had on her pranking teammate "AMETHYST! YOU…DEVIANT…LITTLE …VIPER ARGH!"
Amethyst could only cover her huge grin with the slice of pizza, this was priceless, way better than lil'buttler!...season one at least.
"WHY DO YOU ENTRETAIN YOURSELF TORTURINGME!? AND HONESTLY I SHOULD HAVE SEEN IT COMING! BUT OH NO! NO, I HAD TO TRUST YOU! WELL GUESS WHAT? THAT'S IT!" she slammed her feet on the ground "THIS IS THE LAST TIME YOU…"
"Pearl…"
"Huh?"Pearl turned around to where she though the source of the voice came from. Then a sharp and painful buzz echoed through her head, she bring her two hands to her head trying to control the pain, she screams her lungs out.
Amethyst was startled by this. "p? P?!" she stands up and hurried to where her teammate was, pearl had collapsed to the ground in fetal position screaming and screaming and then…silence. Her face turned blank, not enraged, nor disgusted or sad or happy. Blank, like holo pearl's default face.
"Pearl? Pearl answer me! What's wrong?" Amethyst said has she grabbed pearl from the ground, she was tense like a table.
Amethyst was unsure what was going on, was this a comeback prank?,naw, that would be to cruel from p, also she sucks at pranking, the pizza smell was too much?... pearl has smelled worse things for sure. A hundred more things crossed her mind and that just made things worse. She decides to hold her close, check if her gem had something weird, at first sight, her gem looks normal, amethyst decides to go for garnet, she should know what's going on.
"Don't worry p, i-im sure garnet known's what going on! I will bring her here!" she said has she hurried to the door, but before she leaved, pearl stranded up.
"Amethyst…"
Amethyst turned around and saw pearl standing up; she hurried back to where her partner was. "Pearl! What happen? Are you ok?... I-I mean, gee p, it was just some moldy pizzas…talking about a drama queen" nice save ame.
Pearl just looked at amethyst, her face was normal again but she was serious, a small smile formed on her lips, puzzled amethyst asked her "seriously what happen to you? I…I was worried…"pearl then hugged amethyst, cutting her out. "I'm ok…now, I'm sorry for worrying you"
Amethyst didn't hug back; this was so weird what just happen? And why is she acting like this?
"uhhh no problem? But really, are you alright?"
Pearl stroked amethyst cheek, they both looked at each other eyes, their faces were so close.
Does she want me to...kiss her? Amethyst though and blushed a little, but before she could do or say anything, pearl let go and stood up "I need to talk with garnet… I will explain everything after that, is that ok, amethyst?"
Well that's it "UMMM… NO? WHAT THE HECK PEARL? WHAT JUST HAPPEN NOW? AND WHY ARE YOU ACTING LIKE…THIS?"
Pearl smile dropped "something from my past…before I had you or garnet…before rose… returned…and I need to know why" pearl said has she left amethyst room.
