Come To A Party
"Don't wait up, P! See ya later."
"Wait a minute, Amethyst," Pearl called as the smaller Gem started to walk towards the door. "Where are you going?" Pearl was standing in the kitchen, washing Steven's used dishes. The boy was spending the night with his father and Garnet was off somewhere, doing something.
Amethyst paused by the door. "I'm going to this aaawwwwwesome party. Hey…" She ran excitedly up to Pearl, spreading her arms out wide. "You should come with me!"
Pearl nearly dropped the plate she was washing. "C-come with you? To a...party?"
"Yeah, why not, it'll be fun! There'll be music and dancing and games and drinks." Amethyst gave a radiant smile. "Come to the party with me, Pearl." It was a genius idea! Ever since the 'No Home Boys incident', her and Pearl's relationship had been much better. It was almost like the way things used to be. A night out together would be all they needed to cement their renewed relationship.
"I can't, Amethyst. I have to finish these dishes. And then I have to clean the rest of the kitchen. And Steven's room needs a good sweeping." At this point she was mumbling to herself. "And I should really be here whenever Garnet gets back. She might need something. Then there's that hole in the ceili-."
"Ugh, Pearl, come on." She threw her head back in exasperation, letting her body slump. "Do you ever do anything except worry and work?"
Pearl dried her hands on the towel next to the sink, then folded her arms and looked away from Amethyst. "It's my worrying and working that keeps this team together and keeps you and Steven alive."
Amethyst rolled her eyes. Normally she would've blown up at that comment, but not tonight. Tonight, she just wanted Pearl to come out and have fun with her. "When was the last time you had some fun?"
Pearl looked back at Amethyst with a smug expression, raising a finger. "I'll have you know that just yesterday Ste-."
"Fun that didn't involve Steven, or Garnet, or any Crystal Gems duties or any type of work."
"Uh..." Her finger and expression immediately dropped.
"Pearl." Amethyst looked up, staring directly into the taller Gem's eyes. "You deserve this. You deserve a break. Just come with me. You don't have to do anything you don't want, and if you don't like it we can leave."
Pearl took a few moments to consider. She had been working hard ever since...well...ever since Steven was born. And that was nearly ten years ago. She hadn't had a break that lasted more than the time it took Steven to use the bathroom since. She was always doing something. Maybe Amethyst had a point. Maybe she did deserve to have some fun.
Although, she thought. I doubt Amethyst and I have the same idea of what fun is. But maybe... Pearl looked at the smaller Gem, a warm feeling spreading through her chest when she saw Amethyst's hopeful gaze. She actually wants to spend time with me. She sighed. "Okay," she finally said. "I'll come with you to your party."
"Yes!" Amethyst jumped up excitedly, wrapping her legs and arms around Pearl's torso in a hug. "I'll make sure you love it!"
Pearl blushed. This was the closest she'd been to Amethyst (outside of a fight) in a while. "Amethyst! Get off of me! I won't come if you're going to behave like a child!" She reached around and pulled apart the hands that were nestled comfortably in the small of her back.
"Oh, uh, sorry." Amethyst dropped down, standing on her own feet again. A slight blush of her own warmed her cheeks. "Okay, get changed so we can go!"
"Changed?" What was wrong with what she had on?
Amethyst rolled her eyes amusedly. "Oh, c'mon, P. You don't think you're going like that, do you?"
Pearl looked down. She was wearing her usual outfit. What's wrong with what I have on?
Amethyst answered the taller Gem's unasked question. "Cmon, Pearl, you're going to have a good time! Not to get into a fight. Change into something...freer."
Pearl crossed her arms. "You haven't changed."
Amethyst's reply was quick. "I was going to change when I got there."
"You were not!"
"I totally was!" Amethyst was always amazed at how quickly Pearl could get under her skin. All it took was a single comment to light her skin on fire. Normally she would allow herself to be devoured by that fire, but not tonight. Tonight she was determined to have a good time with Pearl. She was determined for things to feel like they used to. She took a breath. "I'll change right now, okay? Will that make you stop complaining?"
Pearl was surprised for a moment. Usually Amethyst would be screaming at her by now. Why was she being so...amicable? "I suppose..."
"Okay, then." Amethyst closed her eyes, picturing the outfit she had seen in a magazine. Her body glowed for a moment, dimming once she finished the projection of her new clothes. She was now wearing a purple long sleeve, collarless shirt with large white letters that spelled 'WILD'. Grey denim shorts stopped right under her ass, accentuating her best...asset. On her head was a grey beanie and on her feet were purple sneakers. She spread her arms wide, cocking her hip out. "Ta da!"
Pearl bit her lip, her blush returning with a vengeance. "Amethyst, don't you think that outfit is a bit...revealing?"
The shorter Gen rolled her eyes. "Don't be such a prude, Pearl? It's just legs! Everyone's got 'em."
Pearl couldn't resist the opportunity to point out a discrepancy in her logic. "Well, not everyone-."
"Yeah, yeah, whatever. Just change already! We're gonna be late." Now Amethyst was starting to get impatient. Why was Pearl putting up such a fight? Did she really not want to spend time with her?
Pearl decided that they were wasting time. She closed her eyes, clearing her mind of all distractions. She pictures the outfit that she wanted, figuring it would be appropriate. When she opened her eyes, it was to Amethyst's disappointed expression.
"Awww, c'mon," she complained. "That's what you wore at the beach party!"
"And?" Was there something wrong with the light blue sundress?
"Don't you wanna, y'know, mix it up a bit? Try something new? Try not to look as boring as you are?"
Pearl clenched her fists in annoyance. Why was Amethyst always criticizing her personality? They both knew she wasn't as fun as the smaller Gem, so why did she have to keep pointing it out? "I am trying something new," she said through gritted teeth. "Sorry my outfit doesn't warn people of my recklessness." She sneered at Amethyst, giving a pointed and judgmental glance at the faded word on her shirt.
Amethyst felt her body tense almost involuntarily. Why was Pearl always nagging at her? They both knew she wasn't as perfect as the taller Gem, so why did she have to keep pointing it out? "Fine, whatever, let's just go." She spun around, stomping towards the door.
Pearl followed her, and together they walked in silence over the beach towards the boardwalk. Pearl held her hands behind her back and looked over at Amethyst. She actually looked...cute. The shirt was large, the sleeves reached past her hands, which made the purple Gem look even smaller than she was. The beanie on her head did nothing to contain the wild mess of whitish hair, instead just giving her an air of childishness, and not the type that annoyed her. Pearl's gaze moved down to the legs that were so rarely exposed. Pearl blushed slightly. Amethyst really should cover up, she thought. People might get...ideas. Not that she was getting ideas...
"S-so," Pearl squeaked, her blush intensifying. "Where are we going, exactly?"
Amethyst shrugged, still looking straight ahead. "Some abandoned building or something. We'll know it when we see it."
Pearl faltered. "An abandoned building?! Amethyst, that can't be safe! Or legal!"
Amethyst rolled her eyes for what felt like the hundredth time that night. And the night hasn't even started... "Look, they've had parties there before and everything was fine. And plus, we break the law, like, everyday."
Pearl bit her lip in consideration. They did break many human laws. They broke one each day that Steven wasn't enrolled in school. And if anything went wrong, they would be there to help the humans. "Alright," she acquiesced.
They walked in silence for a few moments until Amethyst ventured to say something. "Um, you, uh..." She blushed slightly, reaching up to scratch her head through her hat. "I don't think I told you the first time you wore it that you looked good, so, um, y'know." The smaller Gem looked at the ground, wishing that it would swallow her. "You look good."
Pearl mirrored Amethyst's blush, slightly surprised. She thinks I look good? A small smile settled on her face. "Well, your outfit...suits you." Suits you? Is that the best you can do? "That is, to say...you look...good. Too. As well." Pearl resisted the urge to bury her face in her hands. Why can't I ever say what I feel?
Amethyst looked away, embarrassed for all of the wrong reasons. She doesn't mean it...
They arrived at the party, the loud beats causing the building to pulse slightly. Colored lighting was flashing randomly, giving everything an otherworldly hue. The party was in full swing. It was full of people, most of which Pearl had never seen in Beach City. The song playing had a primal and constant beat, and the humans in the middle of the room were writhing in a tangled cluster of sexual movements and sweat. Pearl could feel her disgust rising the longer she stared. Before she could voice her opinion, Amethyst grabbed her hand and pulled her inside with an excited "Let's turn this place out!"
Pearl allowed herself to be dragged inside, deciding that she would go through with this. It had been awhile since she and Amethyst had spent time together that didn't involves screaming or tears. This could be good for them. She looked down at Amethyst, smiling slightly at her excited expression. I want this to be good for us.
Amethyst stopped them next to the drinks table, picking two beer bottles from the bucket of ice. She banged the caps on the edge of the table to open them and passed one to Pearl. "Here ya go."
Pearl looked at the beer in her hand in disgust, then at Amethyst, who was already halfway done with her own drink. There was no way she was drinking whatever foul smelling liquid was in the bottle. "So," she said, having to yell over the music. "What are we supposed to do at this...party?"
Amethyst shrugged. "Whatever you want? You can drink, or dance, or just chill and listen to the music." Amethyst shrugged. "I'm not gonna make you do anything."
That's...somewhat sweet. Pearl thought that once they got here Amethyst would be insisting that she partake in some ridiculous activity. Pearl was glad that she wasn't. "What do you usually do?"
Amethyst shrugged again. "Dance. But I don't wan-." She cut herself off, hoping that Pearl wouldn't ask about her unfinished sentence.
But of course she did. "You don't want to what?"
Amethyst blushed. She thought about not answering, or covering up with a snarky comment, but she didn't want to. She wanted to get along with Pearl tonight. "I don't...wanna...I don't wanna leave you alone."
"Amethyst." Pearl felt a wave of warmth sweep through her body and settle in her chest. She doesn't want to leave me alone... "That's so thoughtful. Thank you."
Amethyst crossed her arms and looked away, the different colored lights disguising her blush. "Whatever."
Pearl smiled affectionately. Cute...
They stood in silence against the wall by the drinks table for a while. Amethyst continued to drink, staying away from the hard liquor. She didn't want to be drunk in front of Pearl. Not only would it be embarrassing, the taller Gem would probably be angry with her, and she definitely didn't want that. She was actually enjoying the companionable silence they were sharing.
Pearl was of like mind on that note. It was nice not be fighting. She'd rather be not fighting at home, but as long as she wasn't expected to do anything, the party was fine. She appreciated Amethyst standing with her, but she could tell that the purple Gem would rather be dancing. Her hips were subtly swaying, head bobbing to the beat of whatever song was playing. But when one particular song came on, Amethyst practically burst out of her skin. She started towards the dancefloor before stopping abruptly, throwing a sheepish look back at the pale Gem. "Pearl?"
Pearl rolled her eyes affectionately. "Go on. I'll be fine."
"Just this one song, I promise!" And with that she was running towards the tangle of bodies in the middle of the room. The chorus was playing by the time she had managed to shoulder into the middle of the floor.
Shawty had them Apple Bottom Jeans [Jeans]
Boots with the fur [With the fur]
The whole club was lookin at her
She hit the floor [She hit the floor]
Next thing you know
Shawty got low low low low low low low low
I love this song. Amethyst got to work, dancing with her normal flair and abandon. As the song went on she could feel the eyes on her form. Some were watching with envy, some with admiration, but the majority of the gazes were born from desire. That's right, she thought. Watch me.
By the time the song ended Amethyst was breathing hard and smiling from ear to ear. She had started to walk off of the floor and back to the wall where she had left Pearl when a hand on her wrist stopped her. The purple Gem turned her head and suddenly found her gaze filled with cleavage. "Uhh…" She looked up. "Oh, hey, Jenny."
"Hey, Amethyst!" The twin smiled. "I had no idea you could dance like that, girl! Where you been hidin' those moves?"
Amethyst shrugged, a cocky expression on her face. "Everybody can't handle the booty." She turned her back towards Jenny and bent down quickly, then slowly stood up, running her hands down her body. She turned around again, gesturing to all of the people who had stopped dancing to stare at her. "Y'see?"
The teenager laughed. "Daaaaayum, girl, that thing is a weapon!"
Amethyst felt a hand on her shoulder, a new voice accompanying it. "Amethyst."
PAPAPAPAPAPAPAPAPAPA
It's been a long time since I've blushed this hard.
But Pearl couldn't help it. Amethyst's dancing...it was so sexual. She was gyrating and undulating in a way that was downright pornographic. Watching her brought back memories of a time when they got along, a time when those hips would move for her...
And not for these humans.
They had no right to look at her the way they were. Their eyes caressed Amethyst's skin with greedy desire, as if they would ever have a chance with her. She was a goddess among mortals. As if she would ever allow one of them to lay a hand on her sk-.
One of them is touching her!
Jenny Pizza had grabbed Amethyst's wrist, and now they were talking. Pearl felt an unpleasantly warm feeling in the center of her chest. What are they saying? She watched, jealousy burning inside of her as they smiled at each other. When Amethyst turned away she felt relieved. Come back to me. But instead of walking away, Amethyst bent at the waist, her bottom sticking straight up. Pearl nearly catapulted off of the wall, accidentally crushing the beer bottle in her grip.
What is she doing?!
Pearl paused before she made it to the pair. She had to make a statement and let people (Especially Jenny.) know that Amethyst was off limits. She smirked as a plan immediately formulated in her mind. She closed her eyes, quickly changing her outfit to something a bit more...eye catching. When she finally walked up behind the purple Gem, she was wearing a light blue tank top and extremely short grey shorts with blue and white sneakers. She laid her hand on Amethyst's shoulder and said her name.
When Amethyst turned around her eyes flew open in surprise and involuntary blush covered her face. Pearl revelled in the smaller Gem's burning gaze. "Amethyst," she called again.
Amethyst shook her head, coming out of her stupor. "Oh, uh, hey, P." She cleared her throat. "You, uh, you changed your clothes."
"Yes, I wanted to get into something more...comfortable." She leaned forward, wrapping her arms around Amethyst's torso and placing her mouth by her ear. "Do you like it?"
Amethyst could only nod.
Pearl looked at Jenny over Amethyst's shoulder. Her expression had a clear message. She's mine. Jenny smiled and raised her hands in surrender. She winked at Pearl as she turned to walk away.
Pearl smiled triumphantly. "Hey Amethyst, why don't we go back to the Temple? Maybe we could...dance together? Like we used to?"
Amethyst was shocked. They hadn't danced in years. Not since Rose...
"Why?" She wanted to smack herself. Why was she questioning it?
"Because," the taller Gem said, blushing. "I don't like the way they're looking at you." Now that she was saying it aloud, she realized how immature and petty her feelings were.
"You're jealous!" Amethyst was positively tickled. Pearl was jealous because people were looking at her!
Pearl crossed her arms, flustered. "No I'm not!"
"You don't have to be jealous. You know why?"
"Why?"
Amethyst smirked. "They only get to watch." She grabbed Pearl's wrist and brought her slender hand to her ass. "You get to touch."
Pearl blushed hard, swallowing. Her mouth was suddenly very dry. "I...I do?"
"Yeah." Amethyst suddenly lost her confidence. It had been awhile since they had done anything like that. What if...she doesn't want me anymore? "I mean, like, if you wanna touch... If you don't, I get it, y'know? I mean, it's been awhile and everything so I gue-."
Amethyst was cut off by a pair of thin lips on her own. She had forgotten what it was like to kiss Pearl. She kissed like she danced, with finesse and skill and subtlety. Her lips were cool and her tongue was precise, stroking and probing in just the right way. Amethyst decided then and there that she wouldn't let a day go by without kissing the taller Gem.
Pearl was impressed by her own forwardness. She hadn't known what to say to interrupt Amethyst's rambling, so she decided to act instead. She felt the world fall away as soon as their lips connected. The party that was giving her a slight headache vanished, and all that existed was her and Amethyst. The purple Gem's thick lips fully covered her own, pressing against her with desire. She had missed the feeling of kissing Amethyst. The smaller Gem had no technique, just passion and a desire to please. Her tongue plunged inside of Pearl's mouth, swiping and swirling wildly, nearly overwhelming her with sensation. She decided then and there that she would make it a rule to engage in at least one kiss a day with Amethyst.
They eventually pulled away, gulping down unnecessary breaths. They were ignorant of the stares they were receiving, only focused on each other.
"So," Amethyst finally said. "How about that dance?"
Pearl smiled, leading the way towards the exit. "Oh, I'll give you a dance alright."
