The rain gently fell upon the windows of the temple cabin, providing a gentle background noise as the two children dozed in front of the television, reruns of previous Under the Knife episodes still playing as Lion let the pair sink into his mane. While they continued to sleep, a bright light lit up the room as the Warp Pad activated, admitting Pearl as she returned from a personal mission. It didn't take long before she took sight of the two sleeping soundly, and gently moved upstairs in order to turn off the television. She leapt down gracefully, landing onto the floorboards without a sound as Garnet came in from the bubble room. With all of the corrupted gems cured, the room's primary function was more or less rendered obsolete, but Garnet still enjoyed going in there from time to time to reflect. Pearl looked around the room, noticing how empty it felt.
"Where's Amethyst?" she asked Garnet.
Garnet took only a few seconds to answer. "She will return in approximately four hours from a party with some of the other Quartzes."
Pearl chuckled. "Peridot and Lapis?"
"CPH marathon."
"Bismuth?"
"Busy at the forge-said she was working on something new which she will show us in approximately five days."
"...Jasper?"
Garnet paused. "...I'm still uncertain. The possibilities are all too distant to predict with any real accuracy. She has been unresponsive to Amethyst and Steven's attempts to contact her, and Lapis does not want to see her."
Pearl sighed. "Understandable." She attempted to search up another name to brighten up the conversation. "Oh! What about Lars?"
Garnet chuckled. "Steven will tell me many hours from now that Connie saw him leaving Sadie's house by jumping the fence."
Pearl had to laugh at that. "Is that so? Well...how about that, huh?"
"It was pretty obvious," Garnet replied frankly.
Pearl chuckled some more at the bluntness of Garnet's statement, before her gaze shifted to the two children in front of the screen.
"...What do you see for them?" she asked, as Garnet looked at her with a look of confusion, which shifted into understanding. Then a knowing smile played out across her face.
"There are many possibilities for their futures," she replied. "Most of them too far off to place much stock in. What may yet occur after everything that's happened is too nebulous for me to make out anything truly concrete." She then paused as she considered something, and her smile returned.
"What is it?" Pearl asked.
"There is one detail that I've found in common in all of the possible futures that I can see," she replied. "In every single one of them, as long as both of them are alive..."
Pearl smiled as she understood what she was getting at, and finished it for her.
"They're together."
Garnet smiled warmly. "No matter what."
The two relaxed in the kitchen as the rain continued to fall, chatting aimlessly about all sorts of things until the rain came to a stop with the break of dawn.
The Day One prompt for this one was "Rain." Just a short little bit of fluffiness with two cuties. The more dramatic entries in this will be coming later on. Anyway, hope y'all liked it, be sure to check out other Jam Bomb content throughout other social media over the course of this week, and I hope y'all are looking forward to the next one of these fics coming out on Tuesday! With all that said, have a fantastic day, and take care.
