After the game, Ruby was interviewed by many annoying and invasive reporters.

She didn't like being in the limelight right that second, but she dealt with it.

"That was a great game out there, Ruby! I gotta ask, what was the game plan to your win tonight?"

"We work together and work with how the other team plays. It was tough for all of us to keep up, but we were able to figure out how to play with this team. I'm happy that we were able to."

That was the first of a million other questions.

She felt even more exhausted from talking to the reporters than actually fucking playing on the court.

She was able to go to the locker room and change again, along with her just-as-tired teammates. She huffs, fuck yeah, Ruby. You did it!


Sapphire was back in her private car, while her driver was standing by outside.

"Listen, I'm sorry for leaving, I know it was important, but Ruby needed me." Sapphire looked down at the ring Ruby gave her during the graduation party.

"That's it, right? You're not going to run off again?"

"No promises on that," Sapphire sighs and rolls her eyes.

"Listen, Sapphire, my idea for your music video is to actually put Ruby into this one. What's the schedule like for Finals?"

Sapphire was stun for a moment. Putting Ruby in a music video? Ruby has to play everyday and will love to sleep more after this game. Poor girl has to sleep in a hotel.

"I have to go see her." She then hangs up without saying goodbye.

She opens her car door, "To the Ritz-Carlton, please."


"Thank god it's over," Ruby was lying on her stomach on the bed.

"Bruh, there's a spa here, I'm going to use the shit out of that." Her teammate was also lying down.

"I can't believe I just froze up like that after the first quarter." Ruby grabbed her phone under her pillow.

A text from the three FUCKS and Sapphire.

CALL US. Jasper.

PLES CAL US AFER GAM. Amethyst.

REPLY RIGHT AWAY. Peridot.

Please stay put, I'm coming to the hotel you told me you're staying in. Sapphire.

Ruby gets up, excitedly and wanted to run out of the room.

"Oh god, you're still in here," Ruby looked at her teammate.

"Gee thanks." She was obviously offended. Her dark-skinned teammate shook her head. "The girlfriend, aye? Hey, I get it. Going to let off some steam?"

If you translate that to Jasper talk, it would be: BUST IT WIDE OPEN, RUBES.

"Maybe?" Ruby shrugged her shoulders, "She's busy, I'm busy. It's, you know, whatever at this point?"

Ruby goes to her bag that had her laptop in it, "I have to Skype now, though. My friends were watching it live, I guess."

She chuckled as she said that.

"Well! I'll leave you to it! Don't forget Sapphire!" Her teammate leaves, leaving Ruby on her own.

She sets her laptop up, but then grabs her keycard and runs out of her room to get to Sapphire, who might already be waiting.

Although difficult, being Ruby and Icy.


She found Sapphire, who was talking to fans and taking pictures outside of the hotel.

Sapphire eventually left and found Ruby standing by. Once they made eye contact, Sapphire ran and jumped into Ruby's arms so fast, it should be a fucking world record. In FUCKING heels, no less.

The two just laughed together, even though they weren't apart for so long, they acted like they were apart for years. It caused a lot of onlookers.

TAKE A PICTURE IT'LL LAST LONGER.

The two stopped eventually and wordlessly walked to the elevators to her room.

"You did great out there," Sapphire complimented her girlfriend on the game that felt like hours to watch.

"You think so? I felt like I nearly died out there." She chuckled.

"You got this! I know you do. I can feel it."

"But you didn't have to leave your music video for me..."

"Speaking of that, my director had a weird idea to propose."

"Huh? Like what?"

"I didn't tell him anything! He said to put you in it, but I know you can't because it's the finals and you need to focus and-

"Me? In a video? Why?"

"The song is most definitely the happiest one, but one of the slowest. I know I told him it was about you, but I didn't mean that I should have you in the video."

"That's slightly nice of him."

"I guess. But, I can only say no now. You're too busy for one."

"Yeah, I would though. Maybe next time." Ruby kisses her cheek as the elevator door opens.


"Skype?" Sapphire sat down on Ruby's messy bed.

"Yeah, the three, they know that I would want to talk to them after a game like this." Ruby sat down next to her with her laptop on her lap. "Between you and me, my teammate thinks we're fucking right now or something."

"We haven't done it in a while, but you know, whenever you're ready." She said it was a little smirk.

Ruby sighs dreamily, "It's what I need. But I don't exactly..."

She clears her throat, her cheeks burning at the thought, "I don't have that thing with me."

"So? Nothing wrong with that. What do you think we used for most of our relationship?" She lightly placed a hand over Ruby's, indicating a hint.

Ruby giggles and takes a deep breath, "Maybe."


"RUBY!" Jasper yelled into the computer screen.

"Hey guys! Did you like the game?!" Ruby matched their enthusiasm.

"HELL YEAH WE DID! THANK GOD YOU GOOD THOUGH." Amethyst then sees Sapphire. "OHOHOHOHOHOHOH, I SEE WHAT'S GOING ON HERE! YOU GON HIT, RUBES?! YOU GON-YOU GON GET THAT PUSSY DOE?!"

Some things never change. AMETHYST IS THE FUCKING EPITOME OF SOME THINGS.

"Fucking shit, no! We're fine not copulating for a while! We've been together for like... seven years! It's okay, right Sapphire?!"

"Absolutely. But not like these three know."

"Amethyst does. She's still with Pearl!"

"We still fuck daily, though-

"Okay, you three! Watch the game tomorrow, okay?!" Ruby then waves her hand, turning off the video chat.

"So?" Ruby then gets up to place the laptop on the table, closing it. She then walks to Sapphire, getting on her lap, which is something Ruby has never done. "How do you want to do this?"

A wiggle in her brow and a confident smirk, completely different.

"I like this." Sapphire smiled and laugh, wrapping her arms around Ruby's waist.
