Sorry this is late, computer was acting up anyways A story for Lapis, disclaimer I own nothing and I don't own the song Love Like You.

Lapis watched Steven sleep, the Crystal Gems just saved her from that fusion about two days ago and Steven saved the world with Peridot, not only that but about five hours ago they saved Peridot well attempted to save her from some Ruby guards who she thought had been sent to capture her because apparently she called Yellow Diamond a clod, in actuality they were looking for Jasper, Yellow Diamond probably wanted Peridot to die with the Cluster which Peridot's former Diamond didn't know would never hatch. Lapis sighed; even the Diamonds had gotten pettier over the last five thousand years. Just an hour ago she began to feel her strength coming back; She looked to where Steven was napping for a couple hours before he'd head home and heard him mutter her name. Her heart grew heavy, she had made Steven worry so much and for so long. Lapis saw the others relaxing, Pearl and Garnet were talking about the team name Steven gave to the duo of Peridot, Steven called Team Beta, Amethyst was snacking on something she got from the city nearby, and Peridot was inside the barn. They didn't really want to talk with her a lot since they got back but Garnet assured her that she could stay at the temple now that she's free. They agreed to spend a couple hours at the barn before heading back home to the temple. All Lapis knew was she didn't want to upset Steven again, she looked down at the ground when suddenly a warm wind blew through the area and a rose like fragrance filled the air. In this wind she heard a voice singing something

Oh child of the sea

Oh Lapis Lazuli

You were asleep for many a night

As you rest tonight

You twitch, you hear Steven whimper "Lapis, no"

In his sleep and suddenly your heart grows heavy

You hate that you made him worry

You fear you not only made things worse for him but

You may never be trusted by his loved ones

Put thine heart at ease oh child of the sea

Put thine hear at ease oh Lapis Lazuli

Someday, you'll understand

What it means to be one of them

You'll understand you're part of this band of misfits

This family, yes this family is where you're meant to be

Not in that crude mirror

Or on an unloving planet

Nor at the bottom of the cold lonely sea

No, you've always been destined to be

Part of this family

At first you'll only see in Garnet

Coldness, anger, you won't understand her at first

But, over time you'll understand that

In that coldness is a desire to protect

In that anger is love that is bigger than the world!

You'll find over time that you respect her

Even when you don't always get her

She's the mother of the group

Pearl, you'll find she often goes too far

She has done some genuinely dumb things

Don't get me started on that one time when Peridot was still bad

And you were far away

We'll forgive but we'll never forget that

She truly grew that day

But you'll see that even though she goes too far

Even though she doesn't always think about the consequences

She goes too far to show how much she cares or

How much pain she feels inside

Pearl did that thing because she missed the love she got

It still pains her that Rose is gone

These little imperfections you'll overtime find make her

The most wonderful Pearl of all!

She's the older sister

Amethyst, you'll find

Is loud, doesn't seem to take too much seriously,

She's reckless at times, ok most of the time

She also gets carried away

But you'll see that under her carefree attitude is a lot of pain

Pain she buries deep within

Guilt that she was made to destroy the planet

Anger towards her origins

Sadness over how Rose is gone now which also means lots of

Loneliness, she feels non understand her emotions

Steven helps but even he can't heal everything

She's grown so much this past year

Amethyst has truly grown; she no longer lashes out in anger

She's no longer afraid to talk about her feelings

Overtime you'll find that Amethyst is

The best big sister to Peridot and Steven she can be

She's your younger sister

There to make everyone look on the bright side of things

Steven, he's still naïve at times, he's but a child and thus

Doesn't know much about the world

He's silly, used to be so reckless, if we had a penny for every time

He almost got hurt or killed; we'd have at least fifty, maybe more

Steven has grown so much, he'll show you

This is where you're meant to be

Over time you'll see

He's the best little brother, in Peridot's case big brother, in the universe!

Steven's your little brother now, take care of him by

Never again making him scared so that means for you

No more pointless sacrifices!

Peridot you'll find

Can be a little egotistical

She isn't very tactful, it was worse before… trust me it was

She's not the strongest

Despite being so smart she still has a lot to learn

She cannot use her powers

But every day she gets a little bit better

Every day the gems are showing her how to be strong

In the real way

One day she'll be able to tear down even Quartz gems but until then

She's still young, give her time

Overtime you'll find that even though she claims not to

She does get emotional when it comes to things she loves

Peridot's your little sister now, see you fit right in

As days become weeks, weeks become months, you'll finally see

You are finally where you're meant to be!

You'll finally see we are family

The wind stopped, the fragrance left the air. Lapis noticed Peridot in the corner of the barn, she was sitting in a corner, Lapis noticed that her visor was all fogged up probably from crying in fear after earlier; sure they weren't after her but still. Lapis sat next to the green gem and asked, "What're you doing? Are you ok?"

Peridot looked up and replied with a shaky voice, "I'm um, I'm fine. I'm trying to figure out what my next outfit should be if and when I next retreat into my gem."

Lapis raised an eyebrow, "Why are you worrying about that? Won't it just come to you when and if it happens?" Peridot nodded before replying, "Yeah but Amethyst was telling me a few days ago about how the best part in the process Steven calls poofing is when you can change your outfit so I've been trying to draw what some forms I could try would look like since I can't shapeshift yet."

Lapis became even more perplexed, "But why?" The green gem shrugged, "It tends to excite Steven I guess and Amethyst said I might wanna try going without a visor every once in a while." Lapis sat back, maybe she really did misjudge Peridot maybe she really had changed.

They heard Pearl ask, "Shouldn't you two be in bed?" They looked and saw Pearl, Garnet, and Amethyst standing at the entrance of the barn.

The two new members of the family walked out of the barn, Peridot explained, "I couldn't sleep…" Garnet got down to her level and replied, "Peridot, I know what happened was frightening. But you and Lapis need to rest, these last two days have been stressing and you have had a lot of undo stress."

Peridot looked down, "I-I know but… every time I try to sleep I think I hear something. And let's face it it's only a matter of time before Yellow Diamond realizes that we stopped the Cluster which means she will soon be sending gems for my… well gem."

Lapis looked up and said, "Well…I suppose if another gem where to attack us in the event of Yellow Diamond learning about you stopping the Cluster then I guess I could have one of my water clones carry you away while I beat the assassins."

Peridot looked up to her and spoke with an awestruck tone, "Really?"

Lapis gave a small smile, "Sure, as long as you don't get in my way."

An exhausted sounding voice interrupted their conversation, "Lapis? Peridot? Why're you up?"

Steven walked over to them prompting Pearl sat him on her lap before she replied, "I could ask you the same thing. Did you have a nightmare?"

Lapis gave a confused look, "Um, what're nightmares?" Amethyst replied, "They're like dreams only instead of being fun and relaxing nightmares are scary. They sometimes happen when you sleep, they aren't real but they tend to ruin your fun for the night."

Lapis looked to Garnet and asked, "And why would you want me to risk a nightmare?"

Garnet waited for her to stop yawning and replied, "Because even Gems need at least two hours of sleep every now and then, especially if we overexert ourselves. Don't worry, like Amethyst said they aren't real. You can sleep with Steven and Peridot if you want."

Amethyst chuckled at the now snoring Steven, "Looks like Steven's way ahead of you G, Peridot how about you go to bed to." Peridot wobbled slightly and whined, "But I'm not tired!"

Amethyst helped steady her friend, she picked the smaller gem up and whispered, "Come on P-dot, let's get you to bed. I promise we'll visit tomorrow."

Peridot meekly replied, "Ok."

Garnet looked to Lapis who began to wobble a little as well and said, "Lapis, come on let's get you to bed to." Lapis climbed onto the mattress on the bed of the truck and chuckled lightly as Peridot curled up like a cat next to Steven and instantly began to snore.

Steven looked to Lapis and whispered, "Lapis, I just want to say welcome home."

Lapis smiled and replied, "Thanks Steven."

Steven continued to speak in a hushed voice, "Lapis, you're my big sister now right?"

The blue gem nodded, "Whatever you want Steven."

"Goodnight Steven."

"Goodnight Lapis. And again, welcome home."

And with that Lapis closed her eyes, she didn't wake up until the sun rose.

There we go, just an adorable little thing.
