Pearl was sitting on the couch. Amethyst dug through the fridge and sat next to her.
"Hey P. You should try eating sometime."
She tossed a Popsicle at her. Pearl shuddered.
"Why on earth would I want to do that? Disgusting!"
"I dunno. You look stressed." Amethyst rolled her eyes. "I'm trying to help you."
"I don't deserve this. I really messed up."
"Hey, I feel ya. Garnet is just so strong and independent...I want to be a part of that too you know."
"Well, I guess the important thing is that we need to be our own people. And I'm a person Garnet will never forgive."
"I forgive you. By the way Pearl are you ever going to eat that Popsicle?"
Pearl looked at the lemon flavored Popsicle in her lap.
"Ha! It looks like you peed!"
"Eeeew!"
Later...
"What are you playing?" Pearl asked.
"It's a race car game." Amethyst smashed into every tree, sign, pedestrian, car driving bear, and anything else she wasn't supposed to. "MY CABBAGES!" Someone yelled.
Pearl visibly cringed. "You should try it. It's fun!"
Amethyst handed her the N64 controller. Pearl was nervous at first, but got the hang of the game quickly and found she was relieving some stress.
Then they watched TV together. Amethyst liked to poke fun at the crappy kids show Crying Breakfast Friends. There was a documentary about how gemstones are made next. "Gross! Change the station Pearl!" Pearl was hooked on the program. "You perv!" Amethyst grabbed the remote. "Hey!" They fought over the remote for the rest of the night.
It was nice to have a break at last.
