Peridot watches Amethyst, who fell asleep on the couch. The small green gem had left the bathroom to ask Steven a question about something, not that she could remember what now, not that it matters since Steven isny in the room, anyways. She takes a small step towards the purple gem, noting how the light from the sun shines off of her light purple hair.
"Log date 1-16-2, the Amethyst looks," she pauses trying to think of the right word to use, and settles on one she'd heard Steven say before "cute when she sleeps. I-." Peridot stops talking, not knowing what else to say before she thinks of something.
"I might try this 'sleep' thing." She puts the tape recorder away and climbs onto the couch next to Amethyst. She watches the purple gem for a few seconds more then lays down. She curls up into a small ball and goes back to watching the purple gem. She eventually grabs Amethyst's arm and pulls it over her body as she scoots closer to the other gem, cuddling, not that she knows what she's doing.
"Wha-?" Amethyst mumbles, still half asleep. The purple gem looks down at the small green gem clinging to her chest, who's looking up at her innocently. "Uh, Peridot? What are you doing?" She asks, a blush creeping it's way onto her cheeks.
"Trying the 'sleep' thing you and Steven like to do so much," she states as if it was obvious. The purple gem stares at the small gem for a little bit.
"Well, you're doing it wrong."
"What?! What do you mean I'm doing it wrong?!" The tiny gem demands.
"You have to close your eyes to sleep, nerd."
"I knew that," the small gem lies before closing her eyes. "There. Now I'm doing it right." Amethyst laughs at her.
"No, Peri, you can't talk if you're asleep!"
"Well how was I supposed to know that?!" She pouts and opens her eyes.
"Hey, it's ok. It was hard for Pearl to get her first time, too," Amethyst says, not wanting to admit that it was hard for her at first, too.
"Well you seem to know how to do it so teach me already!"
"Calm down and close your eyes."
"I am calm!"
"Peri..."
"Fine. I'll calm down. I'm calm now. See?! I'm calm! Now teach me!" Amethyst laughs and pulls the small gem ontop of her. Peridot blushes and looks down and the purple gem.
"Now close your eyes." Peridot does as she's instructed. "Take in deep breaths," Amethyst says to trick Peridot into calming down a bit. The small gem takes deep breaths and eventually Amethyst feels the small gem ontop of her relax as she drifts off to sleep.
One hour later:
Steven gets back home from visiting Connie and spots the two gems asleep on his couch.
"Awwwww!" He says before remembering that he has to go to the bathroom. He quickly scurries into the 'arciac thinking chamber'. "Peridot!" He yells. The small gem had flooded the toilet, knocked the shower curtain down agian, gotten shampoo everywhere, and the toilet was filled with bubbles signaling that she had put shampoo in there, too before shoving four rolls of toilet paper down the toilet.
