Amethyst pulled Peridot through her room. The green gem was astonished at all the different things in the giant room. Most people would call it a junk heap, but Peridot saw potential to use almost everything in this room. She wanted to examine every last item in the purple gem's room. Yet, there were so many differnt items, in so many different piles, it'd take decades to examine just 10 piles. "So, what'd you think of the room so far?" Peridot looked at Amethyst.

"IT'S AMAZING! There's so much here, I just want to examine it all! I want to be able to see everything in here and-"

"Woah there, there's so much in here that I don't even remember what all's in here." Peridot blushed.

"Yeah, I just would like to."

"Well, examine whatever you'd like, but I'm always here, waiting for you." Amethyst stared into Peridot's eyes, winking at her. Oh my stars. Peridot's face turned red, her body froze in place. "I'm just messing with ya." Amethyst walked up to Peridot, pulling her in for a hug. "But I will always be here when you need me." The purple gem picked up Peridot.

"You thinking what I'm thinking."

"I bet not."

"I still havent had the chance to feed you." Amethyst froze, her face turning red.

"Ok, we are on the same page." Peridot kissed the purple gem.

"Let's get going." Amethyst put the green gem down, and started towards the door.

"Bet I can beat you there."

"No way." The two started their sprint, Peridot starting just a bit faster than Amethyst.


The two stopped in front of the door. "Ok, draw?"

"Draw." Amethyst went to open the door, but stopped beefore she got close.

"Hey, Peridot."

"Yeah?"

"I wanted to ask yo-" Amethyst stopped, and stared at the door. "Do you hear that?"

"Yeah, I do." Someone was crying, at the top of their lungs no less. "We need to see what's wrong." Amethyst nodded, and opened the door. Steven was standing next to Lapis. The blue gem was sitting on the couch, crying. Her eyes were filled to the brim with tears, and her face was red.

"LEAVE ME ALONE!" The blue gem kept swatting at Steven, apparently wanting to be left alone.

"Lapis, what happened?"

"I'M FINE! I JUST NEEDS TO BE ALONE!" Steven back away, trying to not get hit.

"Lapis!" Peridot ran up to the blue gem.

"What do you want, to break my heart again?" Peridot's face turned red, her hands scrunched up. Amethyst walked up behind the green gem, hugging her to try and calm her down.

"Lapis, we just want to help you."

"EASY FOR YOU TO SAY! You took her away from me, Amethyst." Amethyst blushed, then looked away from Lapis.

"Amethyst," Peridot started, but then stopped. "Can you and Steven go get some rags, and some water bottles for me?"

"Why?"

"I'm gonna try to help her, but I need some cold water, and some new rags." Steven looked at Amethyst, Amethyst looked back. They both shrugged.
"I'll try my best, just stay here and watch her." Peridot nodded, then Steven and Amethyst were off.

"What are you planning on do-" Peridot thrusted her face onto Lapis's, forcing their lips together. Lapis wanted to push the green gem away, but she couldn't. She wanted to lift her arms, and force Peridot off of her, but she couldn't move at all. Her arms were limp, her whole body stopped. All functions of her body shut down, and all she could do was stare into the eyes of the green gem in front of her. Her face turned red, her eyes cleared up, and she could finally see straight. Her arms slowly lifted, her hands landing on the back of Peridot's head. Peridot lifted her head away from Lapis's.

"Sorry, I couldn't wait." Lapis blushed, her face was blood red, her eyes stared at the green gem, full of shock.

"I-I don't understand."

"Understand what?" Peridot jumped back, turning her head towards the door. Amethyst stared at the two. "Here's your stuff. Do what you do with it." Peridot nodded, walked up to Amethyst, and took the rags and water out of her hands."

"Thank you, Dear."

"Save the lovey dovey shit for later." Amethyst walked off, opening the door to her room. "I'll talk to you later." The purple gem looked at the blue gem, before walking into her room, letting the door close behind her. Peridot turned around, trying to ignore what just happened. She took a bottle of water, and handed it to Lapis.

"Drink, it'll help." Lapis nodded, her face still red. Peridot took the other bottle, and opened it. "This might be really cold, don't worry." Lapis nodded again, her face turning more blue by the second. Lapis poured a bit of water onto the rag. She gestured towards the blue gem. Lapis nodded one last time. Peridot put the rag to her head, and left it there. "Leave it on, it'll cool you down. Hot head." Peridot smiled, Lapis gave a faint smile back.

"Guys, what's going on?" Steven was confused. Between Amethyst getting angry, and Lapis feeling better so quickly, he didn't understand.

"Don't worry. I'll make sure to works it out." Peridot re-assured Steven, but she wasn't so sure herself. Did Amethyst see us kissing, or only us locked in embrace? Either way, gonna be hard as hell to explain.


Peridot waited on the couch. Lapis still wasn't able to move, her body was almost limp and lifeless. The green gem made sure to keep the rag doused with cold water, and made sure to keep the blue gem drinking. She waited there for Amethyst to come out of her room. She wanted to talk to her, and she wanted to apologize. But could she? Do I want to? I mean, I want to make her feel better. But what's best for me? Pearl walked in, her face full of anger.

"Peridot, where's Steven?"

"He said Connie was in town, wanted to go see her." Pearl sighed.

"Good, I thought something happened." She looked at Lapis, looking at her dead expression, and her limp body. "What happened to Lapis?"

"Long story."

"Then tell me later. I need to go find Steven." Pearl turned around, and turned around just as quickly, when she heard a sound. The door started to open, Amethyst's door. The purple gem walked out, and walked past Peridot.

"Why not tell her, Peridot?" Amethyst walked out of the house, and onto the beach. Pearl looked at the green gem.

"What's her problem?"

"I'll explain later." Pearl shrugged, and walked off to find Steven. Peridot wanted to get up, and run to Amethyst, but she couldn't leave Lapis alone. She would get dehydrated, and she could pass out. "Lapis, how dehydrated are you?"

"I never drink, so, you know."

"That's not the problem. Our bodies are designed to live without water. But crying is wasting the energy that our bodies produce. It's forcing us to make water out of the vapor around us."

"Then I guess I'm almost out of energy." Lapis smirked. Her eyes started to tear up again. "Why did you start dating her?" Peridot blushed, her eyes started to get wet.

"I thought I made such an idiot out of myself, I thought that you'd never want to..." Peridot stopped. She looked at the blue gem, whose face was just barely staring at her. "I needed to feel something again. Anything but sadness."

"I understand." The green gem was shocked, she turned to Lapis.

"You do?" Lapis nodded, smiling at Peridot.
