Lapis Love

Chapter One: The Date

Hey there, this is just an idea I thought of. College story on the Gem home world.

Nothing to do with High school sucks. Please review!

"Hurry up Pearl, or we are going to be late." Garnet told one of her room mates. Amethyst was busy sleeping since her first class didn't start until later. While Garnet was standing outside their apartment door (which the three were splitting rent for), waiting for Pearl, who was trying to find her books. The first day of college was really stressing the pale gem out.

"OK! Found my stuff, lets go." the triumphant Gem said smiling. Soon the two freshman were walking over to campus. They were starting to pass many other gem colleagues.

"There are so many people here. Think any one will like us?" Pearl asked Garnet

"Beats me." Garnet said, shrugging. "What's you're first class?"

"Planet studies. I hear the teacher is really boring." Pearl answered, a little sad. "How 'bout you?"

"Meditating."

"Lame! Though I'd rather be there than with this boring teacher."

Garnet was majoring as a Gem warrior, while Pearl was going into a little less dangerous field. Plant exploration.

"Well, here is my stop. See you later G'." Pearl said, waving good bye.

"See ya P'"

"Time for school." Pearl murmured to herself, walking into the building. After taking many turns and two sets of stairs, she finally made it to class. Walking in, she looked around, there was an open seat in the back. Pearl made her way over to the seat, hoping that class would go alright. As she settled into her seat, she received a tap on the shoulder. Looking over to the seat next to her, Pearl was all of a sudden looking into the bluest eyes she's ever seen.

"Hi, I'm Lapis Lazuli. A freshman. I hope you don't mind me saying, but you seem a little tense." the gorgeous gem said.

"What? Me? No. Well, a little." Pearl responded, holding up her finger and thumb to show how little nervous she was. "I was just worried about the teacher. I'm Pearl, by the way."

"Rose Quartz? I hear she is, like, really into this class. Other than that, harmless."

"That's a relief. I was about ready to shit myself. Like hard core."

"Haha. I think next time you should wear a dipper. Else you might kill every one in here."

Lapis told her, laughing. "Oh, here is Rose. Better get quiet or we might get cleaning duty."

"Hello every one and welcome to Planet Studies. I'm your teacher, Rose Quartz."

An hour later, every one was walking out of Roses class. All except Pearl.

"Miss Quartz. I must say I found your class to be exhilarating. This has been the most useful class I have ever had." Pearl told her teacher, maybe a little to happy.

"Why thank you, um, what's your name again. Sorry, I need a couple days to get use to names."

Rose replied, happy to see such enthusiasm from a student.

"Pearl."

"Well Pearl, I am so happy that this class is so interesting to a young mind. Now you better move along, or else you will be late to your next class."

"Oh, yes, thank you so much." Pearl told the teacher as she left the class. When she got out the door, she soon found herself next to Lapis.

"What was all that about?" the blue gem asked curiously.

"I was just telling Rose how much I enjoyed her class." Pearl answered

"Well, I'm glade someone liked it, cause I was just taking this class because I needed a filler. I'm majoring in aerial combat, so I have, like, twenty thousand filler classes. What are you here for gorgeous?"

"Plant exploration." The pale gem replied, blushing.

"You're so adorable when you blush. Hey, crazy idea. You want to hang out after school? I'm free at seven." Lapis asked, batting her eyelashes.

"Um, Sure! That sounds great." Pearl told Lapis, shocked.

"Cool. Well, here is my number, cause I got to get going." Lapis said, writing down her number on Pearl's arm. After finishing that, Lapis was off.

"I think today might be the greatest day ever." Pearl told herself.

Later that day

"Hey P', you want hang out, go grab a bite to eat?" Amethyst asked her roommate.

"Sorry, guys, but I have a date." Pearl boldly said.

"No way! With who?" Amethyst squealed, happy for her friend.

"Go on, don' keep us waiting." Garnet's monotone voice replied.

"A freshman named Lapis Lazuli."

"Hey, I know who that is. She's in my martial arts class." Garnet told her friend while flipping through the T.V. channels.

"Really? That's cool." the tall gem told Garnet, while heading to her room. "Well, I'll be in my room getting ready if you need me." After an hour, Pearl was ready to go. She had called Lapis, and arranged for them to meet at the local pizza shop.

"See ya guys, I'm leaving." Pearl said while heading towards the door.

"OK, but you don't know what you're missing." her purple gem friend called out. "Hey Garnet, let's go eat some clouds." was the last thing Pearl heard before closing the door and heading out to see her date, Lapis Lazuli.
