"Jasper!" Peridot yelled,walking up and down the ship's halls.
Jasper was nowhere to be found. Peridot took that as a chance to get into her room. She had been acting really weird and hadn't been speaking to her. So she wanted to find out.
She tip-toed down the hall. After being around the corner,she sped-walked all the way to Jasper's room.
The big door slid open to reveal everything inside. Peridot walked in slowly. There was a lot of exercise stuff in the corner of the room. Her bed was horizontally facing the entrance and everything on it was orange and red.
Peridot couldn't help but walked over and plop herself down in the middle. She had sunk as soon as she hit the bed.
"Ahhhh.." She said,letting out a relaxed sigh,slowly closing her eyes. She opened her eyes and just laid there,thinking.
'What could it be and why would she hide it from me?' As she went to close her eyes again,something shimmered in the corner of her eye.
She turned her head to face the object. She got up and walked over to it and picked it up. It was a present.
The box was a sparkly lime color with a darker shade of green for the bow. The tag read,
'To my mean,green,small fighting machine,From:Me.' She obviously knew it was her.
'Should I open it?What if she was saving it for later?What if she gets mad?' All these things went through her head at once,but she couldn't help it,her curiosity got the best of her. So she opened it.
She placed the lid on the bottom of the box and reached inside. She pulled out a four pictures,all of her and Jasper from the photo booth at Beach City. Each picture had something different written on it.
On the first had her being forced upon Jasper's shoulders as she flexed her muscles and smiled. Peridot looked very angry,crossing her arms and blushing.
The second one showed them making funny faces. They both crossed their eyes,but Peridot filled her cheeks with air as Jasper made a fish face.
The third one showed Jasper leaning over and giving Peridot a kiss on the cheek. Peridot was shown blushing and wide-eyed by the kiss.
On the final one,it had Peridot and Jasper wrapping one arm around each other's shoulders and holding up peace signs with the other,smiling widely.
The words all together from each picture read,
'We can drive each other crazy...we can act a little weird...and just know I really like you...and know that I am always here.'
Peridot placed the pictures back in the box carefully and put the lid back on it. A tear fell from her eye.
It was one of the best gifts she had ever gotten and to just know that she liked her back was magnificent,but Jasper didn't know how she felt. She held the box close,putting her head down.
"So,did you like my gift?" A voice said from the door. Peridot looked up from the box and saw Jasper standing at the door. Peridot began to smile,a tear still in her eye.
Jasper walked over to her and smiled. Peridot went in for a hug.
"I loved it." Peridot whispered as she hugged her. Jasper smiled and hugged her back.
