AN: Some more short fluff drabbles! Writing prompts are all written by yours truly! Still mostly Jaspethyst, but there is some Lapidot beginning to poke in, though it isn't the main focus. I hope you enjoy this silly cuteness! (o""^""o)


6. Babysitting

Looking after a child is no easy feat. When said child is a half-gem, thing really kick up a notch. They had only been playing hide and seek for a few minutes, and Jasper was already losing her patience. Steven was somewhere, that was a guarantee, but he seemed to have found the perfect hiding place. The Homeworld Gem paced around the room, re-checking all of the possible hiding spots, finding herself less and less amused by this game as time passed. Luckily, Steven decided to show himself before Jasper broke something, ending the game a little sooner than planned. When the Gems got back from their mission, they found that both Steven and Jasper had decided to go play another round of hide and seek, but with both of them hiding. Needless to say, that particular game was over quickly, mostly due to Pearl panicking about the safety of Steven's location ( The rafters ) and the fact that Jasper was terrible at hiding. The Gems agreed that next time they would just call Greg.

7. Fashion

Fashion was not a large aspect of Gem culture. That doesn't necessarily mean that Gems didn't enjoy different clothing from time to time. Once Steven and Connie found out about some of the newest Homeworld uniforms from Jasper, they insisted that she show them off, despite her protesting. After a few bribes were made, the ex-commander agreed to share some of Homeworld's fashion sense. Many of the uniforms looked alike, with little to no variation, with very few exceptions. Things changed a bit when Amethyst wandered over and found out what they were doing. The younger Gem insisted on sharing some clothing from earth's earlier years. Hours of experimenting later, Connie had to go home and Steven had to go to bed, unaware of the many more outfits that the two Gems tried out during the night. After that day, Jasper could be seen in a different attire than her Homeworld uniform, opting for jeans and a tank top. Despite her repeated comments of not liking the earth, there was no denying that the planet had influenced her, in one way or another.

8. Restaurant

The owners of what used to be the newest restaurant in Beach city would tell many tales after leaving the town about the time a group of women and a small child had visited them and ruined their store. Many people refused to believe their story. They insisted that " magical women " didn't exist. However, that meant little to the store owners, who had seen two of the women in particular clear out all of of their alcohol without getting drunk. They spoke of these two the most, the small purple one, and the huge orange striped one. The fact that no one seemed to believe them was not a huge problem, as they would just as soon forget about their failed business venture, especially those two women.

9. Summer Weather

When summer hit beach city, it hit hard, with heatwaves lasting weeks. It was times like this that the denizens of the town were particularly thankful for the peace made with a certain Homeworld Gem. Lapis became very popular during the summer months, creating huge slides out of the sea for the children, and large bubbles for the adults to relax in. Peridot was less than thrilled about the whole thing, as it took Lapis a lot of time to help the humans, and Peri was not about to go anywhere near the ocean for fear of shorting out her mechanical limbs. Consequently, there were days when Lapis was not available, taking time off to spend with Peridot. This left the townsfolk with very few options of keeping cool besides the ocean itself. At some point, during a particularly intense heatwave, Steven had the bright idea of making a large pool in the middle of town. He said that it would allow the people of Beach city to cool off whenever they wanted, it was closer than the sea to travel to for many people, and it would allow Lapis some much needed time off. After a day of constructing, reinforcing, and filling the pool, it was finished. The Gems were hesitant to attend, but Steven insisted that they try it out, at least once. The day was going well until Amethyst decided to teach Jasper what a cannonball was. Within a few minutes, almost all of the water was emptied from the pool, and many humans sustained minor injuries. It took the rest of the day for cleanup, and once it was completed, the town as a whole decided to ban Amethyst and Jasper from visiting the pool in the future. Steven was a bit disappointed, but the two Gems weren't complaining, preferring to ambush each other and the other Gems with water balloons.

10. Sleep

When Jasper initially heard of the concept of sleep, she thought it was ridiculous, and it took several hours of constant nagging from Steven for her to try it. After a few failed attempts, the child brought Amethyst over, as she did enjoy sleep more than the other gems. It took a bit of explaining about dreams and the general purpose of sleeping before any progress occurred. Eventually, Jasper gave in, and tried her best to fall asleep. However, every time she thought it might be working, she found something wrong with her condition and woke up. Weather it was the position she was in, the temperature of the room, or a noise from outside, she would always toss and turn, trying to adjust. It didn't help that Amethyst had decided that Jasper would make the perfect pillow. By 11:30, Steven was asleep, and Jasper was stuck on the floor with Amethyst flopped onto her side. Countless thoughts went through her head as she lay there, ranging from " How did I get myself into this? " to "What's the point of trying this sleep thing anyways?" The Homeworld Gem found no answers in the darkness, but she did eventually find herself losing focus, eyes closing. When she opened them again, the world outside the window was brighter than before, the clock reading 4:48 AM. She looked around the room. Steven was still asleep on his bed. To her surprise, Amethyst had moved around during the night, wrapping her arms around the larger Gem. Jasper sighed and cautiously placed a hand on the other Gems back. "Maybe this sleep thing isn't that bad after all." she thought as she drifted off again.


AN: Wow, thoughts. Maybe I'll branch into actual conversations next time. (""u"") I'm also thinking of expanding a couple of these into oneshot stories. What do y'all think? Please review and tell me what you think! I also have a tumblr you can check out under the same username! (o""^""o)
