sorry this probably sucks, I'm tired.

Finally, a view change! (Sort of) *Throws hands in air*

You could imagine Garnet's suprise at the scene before her. Entering Steven's room, seeing her risk hadn't paid off. She backed out of the door, and told Amethyst to take Steven to Connie's house for the night, and explain that they had a situation at home.

She sat on the couch. Still, she thought. This is a rare sight. She took it in. Pearl was sitting at the wall next to the door, facing Garnet with her head on her knees, fast asleep. Her eyes were puffy, and there were tear tracks on her cheeks. Garnet knew from her future vision that Peridot was sitting on the other side of the wall, in a similar position.

The silence stretched out for a few hours, until it was broken by Pearl, who yawned and lifted her head up. She seemed to have forgotten what she was doing there, and looked confused for a few seconds, until her eyes widened in realization. Her eyes were wet and it looked like she was about to start crying again, but then her face hardened in determination. She did not, however, get up. She was dead set on waiting for Peridot to come out. She hadn't even noticed Garnet.

At around three, Garnet was startled by a creak, and realized she had fallen asleep. The creaking came from the bathroom door, which was opening. Peridot slowly rejoined their world. She sighed, and sat down next to Pearl. She looked like she had been crying, which she had, and it was obvious by her mussy hair she had fallen asleep too.

She looked up at Pearl renewed tears in her eyes. "I'm sorry." She whispered.

Pearl finally looked at her. "Tell me. Why were you avoiding me? What is my fault? What have I ever done to you Peridot? I saved you. I would never dream of hurting you."

A tear fell down onto her cheek. "I've been having weird feelings about you, and I can't sort them out. I thought you being around me was why, and I blamed you. I shouldn't have. I'm just an emotional wreck right now. I can't focus when I'm around you, and I've just been noticing hos pretty you are, and this whole process is really new to me. The Steven helped me by lending me a few Human texts. I've come to an experiment result." She took a deep breath. "Pearl, I love you."

Pearl smiled, wiping the tear away. "Okay. I hoped so. You wouldn't believe how much time I spent worrying about it."

"I'm so sorry! I hurt you, when I just want to make you happy, I never meant to hurt you." Peridot buried her face into Pearl's shoulder, crying.

Pearl pulled her onto her lap, hugging Peridot as she cried into her chest. "It's okay, I understand. It's okay." She whispered, trying to soothe the crying gem she held. "It's all okay now."

Garnet smiled. Neither of them had realized she was there. Turns out her risk did pay off.
