"Professor Quartz! Sorry for being late."
"Hmph. This is your third time being late this month, what's your excuse?" Rainbow Quartz asked.
Pearl sighed, "My mother is still out on her singing tour, and my mom…. gets a little weird when she's gone. She forgot how to drive…. again."
It was true, Ruby had spent fifteen minutes refusing to start the car until she was absolutely sure which one was the brake.
"Hmm.. Is that why she tried to tip me the other day? Oh well, not matter. I'm assuming you practiced? Show me."
Pearl focused as she moved across the floor gracefully and with practiced precision, trying to ensure she didn't fail before Ms. Quartz, a teacher who agree had come to respect highly. finally she jumped, her toes pointed sharp before landing gently on the ground finishing with a prefect pirouette.
"Amethyst?"
Amethyst turned with a start to find Garnet. She had been secretly watching Pearl's dance lessons for a while now, through the one way glass.
"Oh! Uh, hey G-squad…. I thought you were still on vacation with your mom."
"We came home early as a surprise… were you… watching pearl?" Garnet asked.
"Um… well… I-i" Amethyst's face betrayed her turning blood red as she tried to come up with an excuse.
"I knew you had a crush on her."
"Shut up! Someone will hear you." Amethyst whined.
Garnet chuckled, but quickly grew serious seeing her friend's pleading face.
"I think you have a chance."
"Yeah, right."
"You know, I heard she was looking for a dance partner, You should…" Before Garnet could finish her sentence Pearl had finished her lesson and Amethyst was leaving as fast as she could.
"Garnet! You're home early! I missed you."
They hugged each other before being interrupted by Pearl's phone.
"It's Amethyst," Pearl said checking her phone, she says she wants to be my dance partner… that doesn't sound like her."
"You should accept, you might not find someone else."
"True. Well, how was your trip Garnet?"
"Amethyst better not blow this."
"What was that?"
"Nothing."
