The Puddle

by Cat Steven

After a long day of testing the Gem Drill, Peridot can't sleep and asks Lapis Lazuli to tell her a bedtime story. Lapis tells Peridot about her experience as a bartender at "The Puddle," a fancy bar that only accepted blue Gems. Along the way, she tells Peridot about how she met Blue Diamond's Pearl, cracked her gem for the first time, and how she firstly summoned her water wings.

A/N:

Hello, and welcome to the very first chapter of "The Puddle". Honestly you guys, if you want me to write a Fake SU episode, or any other requests (dealing with mainly SU and a little We Bare Bears) please feel free to request them in the comments below. You should never hesitate to ask me a request J. Please tell me who's episode I wrote so I can credit them properly. Also, I'm going to do something similar to GlassHawk – do the author's note, present, and flashback. I hope you guys don't mind. Enjoy the first chapter.

Chapter One: Storytime

After a long day of testing the Gem drill (for future reference), all Peridot could think about was sleep. She and a blue gem named Lapis Lazuli headed towards the barn while Steven and the other Crystal Gems warped to the temple. Lapis put on a Camp Pining Hearts DVD, the first episode Peridot watched, so it could help her fall asleep. "Good night, Peridot," Lapis said. She summoned her wings and was about to fly away, squatting on her knees, when Peridot shouted, "WAIT!" Lapis stopped, got to regular position, and removed her wings. She ran (instead of flying) towards Peridot's bed. "What's wrong?" Lapis asked. "Are you having trouble falling asleep? You are tired." "Well," Peridot said with a slight blush, "I'm having trouble falling asleep. C-can you tell me a b-bedtime s-story?" she asked, blushing even harder. She covered herself with her alien-covered sheets, hugging her plushie of the same alien.

"Of course," Lapis said. "Well, um, I'll tell you some about my history. Just sit tight and relax. It'll be a nice story." She took the sheets off of her. "I hope you enjoy it." A small blush rested on her cheeks. "It all started when…"

Anyways, I'd better get some rest. Stay tuned for chapter two tomorrow or later today!
