Alright, what's going on my dreamers? I'm here with a new Minecraft lets-play. Wait, I mean a new chapter. We are so close to 2,000 views. Like, oh my god. This needs to happen. Um, oh yeah, I've decided to call you my "dreamers." Do you like it? No, okay. I'll still use it. BTW author's notes are on bold now. Just thought I would mention it.

Love you 3

Well, that was a shock. Why would her first mission be to Pink Diamond's last resting place? Wouldn't that be dangerous? We started walking to the warp pad, but Pearl stopped.

"I just realized, I can't take you on this mission. I have to train you first. Well, the ruins are ruined. So, that's out of the plan. Steven, can you open your room?"

I stood puzzled, she motioned to the door. I walked to the door and it lit up like a Christmas tree. I got a cold chill going up my spine. My vision was blurring as I stepped closer to the door. I placed my hand on the door and it opened. Pearl left saying she left her training gear in her room and she would need a few minutes since Amethyst messed her room up as a prank a few weeks back.

Once we were in the room I closed the door.

"Room, I need a mini-fridge stocked with water and healthy snacks, as well as a training area for gems."

As I commanded the room started to conjure my requests from the clouds surrounding the area, but something else formed. Once the dust cleared away I was able to get a clear view of it. It was replica of me!

"Who are you, what are you doing here?"

"I am the training dummy you requested."

I was freaked out. Why was it the shape of me? Whatever, it's not me. I walked over to the weapons lining the wall and selected Rose's sword. I didn't feel like summoning it. Peridot selected her limb enhancers. It was nice of the rom to summon them for her. As she suited up I trained hand-to-hand combat with the dummy.

"Ok, I'm suited up. When are, we going to start?"

"Well, I was waiting for you to get dressed so we could start training now."

We practiced hand-to-hand combat and worked on to blocking each other's attacks. I asked the room to spawn basic corrupted gems we fought before, and training was going smoothly. We continued like this for a while, until we decided to take a small break.

"Hey, Steven hand a bar and water please."

I tossed her the bottle and nutrient bar; we both ate in silence. Something was bugging me though, why did Peridot need water and food?

"Hey, P. Why do you need food and water? I thought gems don't need them."

"Oh, well, when I was pooped at the Galaxy warp and later reformed at the temple I scanned the immediate area for any living creature to assist me for life on the planet, and you were the closest. So, now I'm basically a gem-human hybrid like you."

Well, that explains several things actually, but why didn't she tell us? I mean we are friends, right? Maybe she didn't want to explain, or she didn't trust us then.

"Do you know what happened to Pearl, wasn't she was supposed to come back?"

Aw, shoot. I forgot to open the door. I'm such an idiot. I opened the door and walked into the temple. I could see Pearl pacing around the island in the kitchen, Garnet meditating, and Amethyst sitting on the couch watching tv.

"Oh, there you are! I was so worried about you, when you didn't open the door I thought the worst had happened."

"We're fine Pearl, I just forgot to open the door. Before you ask, yes, we did train. We practiced basic combat."

Pearl was giving me lecture about I need to remember these things, but I zoned out. I was thinking about how Peridot looked amazing in her armor. It barely covered anything at all and showed off her curves.

What am I doing? She's my best friend, why am I thinking like this? I just need to go to sleep and get these thoughts out of my head.

"Well, goodnight Peri, it was fun training with you. Do you want me to take you to the barn?"

As luck, would have it started to pour down rain. Great, she has to stay here. Wait, where is she going to stay? The couch is too uncomfortable and the only other place to stay is- oh god, my bed.

Why? Why do you hate me Lady Luck?

"Never mind, I guess you can stay with me. Where do you want to sleep?"

The gems walked into their separate rooms and left me with an awkward mess that I can't resolve on my own.

"So, where do you want to sleep. I mean you can sleep on the couch or with me on the bed."

She didn't respond for some time, but when she did, hse stuttered and turned a whole new shade of green.

"Are you okay?"

"Huh? Oh, yeah I'm fine; just got lost in thought."

I wonder what made her so flustered? I mean it can't be that bad, can it? We made to the bed and got under the blanket and drifted to sleep.

"Steven! Steven, I need your help!"

What? Who was screaming? Whoever it is, I need to help them. I started jogging to the scream, when it picked up in intensity. Ok, I need to get there fast. I broke off into a full-on sprint in the direction of the scream.

"Steven, please help!"

Once I got to the source of the scream, I found Peridot being attacked! I jumped on the beast and wrestled with it. It backed away, for a bit until it swung at me and ripping parts of my shirt. I hit it in the top of the head, but that made it even angrier.

It growled and bared its teeth at me, I responded with the same action. This seemed to the trick, the bull looking gem ran straight for me, but I dodged its attack and summoned my sword. With it paralyzed I pushed my sword into the gem.

With a poof, it was gone, I grabbed the gem before it could fall and reform. Once bubbled, my attention was grasped by Peridot again. I hopped down the hole she was lying in.

"Hey, are you good?"

With a groan, she sat up and looked in my eyes. I could see the glisten in her eyes. She leaned closer and kissed me. I was shocked at first, but let basic instincts and fought for dominance in the kiss. Love, passion, and strength went into the kiss. A few moments later we broke for air, our gasping being the only sound.

"What just happened?"

She looked me in the eyes again.

"Steven, that was a kiss, and it was great. But, right now there is more to be done."

I was about to ask what she meant, but I had the feeling of being shook. I was brought from a glorious dream with a worried looking Pearl sitting over me.

"Are you okay? You were groaning like you were sick, but you seem fine."

"Yeah, I'm fine."

With the satisfaction of knowing I'm fine she left. And, once again I was left with my thought, but certain green gem had the idea of interrupting me with a small moan. Most wouldn't hear it, but I was next to her. A hologram was spewing from her gem, I followed the path and found a viewing screen into her dream.

Oh, this is great. Something I can use against her. When I took a closer look, I could see the same area from my dream, but I wasn't there. Peridot was calling my name as if searching for me. I shook her awake, and she seemed startled at first but calmed down.

"Oh, there you are Steven."

She must be talking about the dream.

"Okay Peri, we're going to have to talk about what just happened"

Whoo! How about that? So, soon I'm thinking about bumping up the rating. HUH? What do think are we ready for more mature words, you know something less like poopy-head? I want you to know this, I switched to a new laptop, and it is so small. The "N" key doesn't work sometimes. So, just remember every "doing" was typed as "doig" and every "going" was also typed as "goig". Yeah, you can go follow me on Facebook at . *shameless plug* Love the comments you guys are leaving. What happened to the mean side of the internet? You guys are way too nice. Well,

Later Alligator

Your Boo,

Dear Mr. Sandman
