Lapis was taken back by Peridot's friendliness. she's not this open usually, right? Lapis blushed a little and broke away from the hug.
The rest of the night was pretty awkward. Lapis tried to avoid Peridot. She didn't hate her, she just, didn't understand why she felt so... so weird. Lapis sat on a log overlooking the ocean. The moon was high in the sky and made the water sparkle brightly. Lapis thought back the Peridot, and how comforting she was. "sigh..." lapis smiled and looked at the sand. Why do I feel all warm? Why can't I talk to her right now? Lapis closed her eyes and thought. *grumble* Lapis opened her eyes, she now just realized how hungry she was. She gripped her stomach. Gems don't need to eat, but she did get hungry every now-and-then.
She stood up and walked to where Peridot was. Something in here head told her not to, but she didn't listen.
The green gem was standing near some trees trying to make something, probably. Lapis slightly chuckled at Peridot's constant need to be building something. She looked very concentrated and had picked up a branch, examining it. Lapis walked up behind the gem. "hey!" she said, louder than meant to be. Peridot jumped and dropped the branch on her foot. "Ouch!" she exclaimed grabbing her foot and hopping on one foot. "oh my diamonds, Peridot are you okay?!" she said helping peridot to sit down on the ground. "I would be if you hadn't of scared me like that!" she said sharply. Lapis looked at the ground. "I'm sorry Peridot, I didn't mean to..." she said sadly.
Peridot sighed and sat up a little more. "It's okay lapis... just, don't do it again ok?" Peridot felt a little sympathy for Lapis. Lapis nodded. she went to help peridot up when her stomach growled again. Lapis blushed a little awkwardly. Peridots face was full of curiosity and disgust. "what," she pointed at lapis's stomach. "the hell was that?" she said. Lapis laughed lightly. "oh, im just hungry." she said. Peridot cocked her head to one side. "but gems don't have to eat." she said confused. "Yeah, but it's really nice." Lapis smiled brightly. peridot sighed. "fine, guess we'll have to find something for you to, eat?" she said wincing as she stood up. "what about berries?" Lapis suggested. "Berries?" peridot said confused again. "Yeah! their reeeeeally good and sweet!" Lapis said happily. "okaaaaaay?" peridot said raising and eyebrow. "what do these...berries, look like?" Lapis walked with peridot through the forest-like area. "well, their usually blue, but they can also be red!" she explained to peridot. "you mean like those, things?" peridot pointed to a bush of blueberries about 20 feet away. "yeeee!" Lapis cheered running to the bush.
She picked 50 blueberries off the bush and stared to eat them. "mmmm, Peridot you have got to try this!" she said handing peridot and handful of berries. Peridot cringed at the berries and reluctantly put them in her mouth. she was surprised by how good it was. "hm, not bad she said sitting down next to lapis. "Is their anything better than sitting under the stars?" Lapis asked looking up at the sky. "you..." peridot sighed looking at the blue gem. "what was that?" lapis turned her head to peridot so that they were facing eachother. "NOTHING!" peridot said turning the other way. Lapis cocked her head to the side, but shrugged and went back to eating her berries. Where, the HELL, did that come from?! Peridot thought.
"Peridot im tired." lapis said laying down on the ground. "tired? is this another one of the humans traditions?" peridot said grumpily. "haha no." lapis said laughing. "you just go to sleep." she said closing her eyes as she lay on the sand. Peridot sighed and laid down next to lapis. Might as well try it right? Peridot thought closing her eyes and slowly drifting of to sleep. Maybe this play isn't so bad after all...
