I'm going to try my hand at something different for a change. Oh, wait, I forgot. Hey everybody, Portalfan here with something different! For the first time ever I'm going to be writing an AU fic! For the time being I'm probably not going to have any ships or anything for the main characters (Peridot, Pearl, Lapis) so leave suggestions in the reviews or whatever. I will NOT do Lapidot or Jaspidot because I really don't understand them. Anyway, read/review, and I will see you on the other side

Lapis Lazuli was just like any of the other college students. She woke up at around 9 every day to get to her classes, came back to her dorm and went to sleep after her work was done. She had no one she relied on, and did mostly everything herself. To her, all of this self-reliance felt like…
A prison. She never had time to make friends or to just talk to people because she always had to be somewhere. Whether that be work, class, the Library, she never had time to just be HER.

Today, however, was a good day. Today, she got a roommate.
She was so excited when they told her someone was going to be moving in with her. She would finally be able to talk to someone, have someone to fall back on… Have a friend…
She ran back to her dorm and started clearing off every surface she could. She needed to look presentable at the very least if she was going to make any friends.
'This is so gross…' She told herself as she picked up empty soda cans and pizza boxes from around her. Her entire room had been a mess since the first week she was here; she never had time to pick it up.

Time passed. One hour, two, three, until finally there was a knock at the door. Lapis answered it almost instantly. In front of her stood a tall girl, about an inch or so taller than her, with long arms and slightly spiked blond hair. She was wearing a green hoodie with a yellow Diamond in the middle.
"Hi, my name is Peridot." The girl said, extending her arm. Lapis stood there for a second before returning the gesture.
"My name is Lapis. Lapis Lazuli." She said enthusiastically "It's so nice to finally meet you! Come on in!" Lapis grabbed Peridot and dragged her into the room.
"So I went ahead and ordered you a bed, it should be here within the next week. I've tried the type of bed before they're SUPER comfortable so you really should like it. I don't have much stuff myself since I never really get a chance to buy stuff cause I have so much to pay off here so you can go ahead and put it anywhere. I have plenty of room so bring whatever you want. If you're cool with it I thought we could do a sort of bunk-bed thing to save room so you can put even more stuff in here because I'm sure you're going to want to have a desk and such so the bed I ordered can fit with mine isn't that cool!"
Peridot barely had enough time to process anything Lapis was saying before she would say something else. Peridot didn't mind how Lapis was acting; She had heard that the poor girl had been alone for quite some time here; but Peridot wasn't ready for the onslaught of things Lapis was telling her.
"-and maybe you could even fit a desk in over there if you put your bed on that side of the wall! Oh my god, we are going to have such a great time together, don't you think?!
Peridot just stuttered. "Uh, yeah… I guess. You didn't have to buy me a bed though, I have one in my storage…"
"I just thought it would be a nice thing to do! I mean, it's not like I was going to spend $800 on myself, right!"
"$800! You paid that much for some girl you'd never even met! Why?!"
"Because I wanted to."
Peridot didn't know what to say. She had thought that the girl in front of her was just going to be another one of those idiot roommates she always had. Sure, she really hadn't been there long enough to figure out this girl yet, but considering she had dropped $800 before they had even seen each other was... probably the nicest thing anyone had done for her in college so far.
"Uh… Thank you." Peridot said.
"No problem, friend!" Lapis replied.

God damn it. I'm sorry that this is so short but I really couldn't think of any way to continue this chapter. I promise the next one will be longer. Anyway, review, fave, follow, all of that sort of thing, and, as always, see you on the other side
