"You want me to do what?" Amethyst asked with a mouthful of cold pizza.
"I need you to drop a condom full of water on my head." Jasper repeated, like it wasn't the weirdest fucking thing to ever say.
"You already set yourself on fire!" Amethyst reminded.
AH HOLY FUCK
HELP ME HELP ME
I THINK I'M DYING-
"What's your point?"
"STOP TRYING TO DIE."
It was the morning after, the day of Ruby's well-deserved after party. And currently, Jasper wanted to try something new.
Did I mention she's not doing this for internet fame?
"Why do you even have condoms already?!"
"That Sex-Ed class likes to promote, okay?!" Jasper had the square purple wrapper in her hand.
Amethyst grabs it, "'If you don't get it... you don't get it.'"
She continues, "That's honestly so inspirational."
"It's better than, "you wouldn't jump out of a plane without a parachute, ya dumbass.'"
Ruby was in the kitchen, making a breakfast that's way overdue, making pancakes, bacon, sunny-side up eggs, and a cup of coffee.
"Ruby?" Sapphire slightly raised her voice.
"Good morning, my love!" Ruby exclaimed towards the stairs.
"Something smells great," Sapphire said with tired excitement.
"A great breakfast for my great girlfriend, obviously." Ruby expertly flips a pancake.
"You're too kind." Sapphire arrived to the fancy kitchen, "Make yourself a plate too. Wouldn't want to eat something so great alone."
There was a comfortable silence, minus the sizzling bacon sound.
"Are you excited for your after party?" Sapphire asked with a large grin.
"Hell yeah! It'll be awesome for everyone to finally be together again."
Suddenly, Sapphire's phone rang while she was texting Pearl.
She sighs, "Sorry, it's the director. I have to take this call."
"Go ahead, babe."
Sapphire walks off towards the stairs, walking and answering the call.
"Hello?"
"Icy, listen! Since Ruby is done with her Finals, maybe we can physically get her into the video."
"Don't you think she needs re-
"It's only until 7 PM! After that, my editors will get on it and release the video in a few weeks."
Sapphire paused for a moment.
It was a sad song about heartbreak and rejection; she wasn't sure if she wanted that with marriage in the back of her mind.
"I'll ask her." Sapphire walks back.
She presses her phone screen against her chest so the director doesn't hear anything.
"Babe," Sapphire leans on the counter.
Ruby was done with the food, setting the food on square plates.
"Yes?"
"The director wants you in the video. He said he'll have us until 7PM and then it'll be done."
Ruby was quiet, "Why?"
"I don't know, I don't understand him. But, you don't have to if you don't want to."
"Can we bring our breakfast?"
"Yes."
"Let's go!"
The two dressed quickly into matching white outfits and ran out their home.
"Yes yes, I know," Ruby was on her phone, talking to Amethyst.
"What the fuck, man."
"I KNOW! It's only until 7."
Ruby and Sapphire sat in Sapphire's limo, with their hot food. Sapphire was already halfway through the meal.
"The party isn't until later, ya fuck!" Ruby screamed through the phone. "I'll talk to you later!"
Ruby placed the phone into her jacket pocket.
"I'm guessing that didn't end well," Sapphire knew.
"I just hope your director is not stingy as fuck..."
"Icy! Love, you're here!" The director was... strange to say the least. "Ruby Harris, pleasure to meet you."
RUby just smiled and nodded her head.
"So, this song is about HEARTBREAK! BETRAYAL! SADNESS!"
Ruby and Sapphire stared at him, awkward and in discomfort.
"He does know that we've been together for seven years, right?"
"This is the first time I've worked with him. So, he doesn't know that."
"But we're all over media and TV..."
"He obviously doesn't know."
"Let's get started!" He clapped his hands. "You two! Get dressed! WHERE'S THE MAKEUP ARTISTS?!"
Ruby sighed. It was going to be a long day.
"So, all BLACK! You're breaking up IN THE RAIN! Ruby, YOU'RE SAD! Ruby just dropped the umbrella! Sapphire will just sing in your face like she doesn't care about you ANYMORE!"
Ruby was just standing there as one of the makeup artists were putting more on her cheeks.
"End me, Sapphy..." Ruby said through clenched teeth.
"I can't, I love you."
Okay, ready?! Start the RAIN!"
Suddenly, sprinkles of water fell upon them. It then slowly became heavier.
"RIGHT THERE IS GOOD! ACTION."
Poor Ruby was stuck having to look at Sapphire as she mouthed the lyrics. She has already heard the song and it is not based off anything between them two.
She started to feel the lyrics, though. She was legit tearing up and was getting into. Grabbing Sapphire's hands, trying to pull her closer, but poor Sapphire has to keep pushing her away.
They get close to kissing for one moment, but Sapphire just walked away.
"CUT! That was perfect!" The director stops everything.
"Baby, why are you actually crying?" Sapphire wipes the tears from Ruby's cheeks.
"I'm not crying! It's just the water from that STUPID HOSE!" Ruby avoids her hands.
"Come on, let me-
"No, I'm fine!"
That was the ending of the song.
They then changed into different clothes and makeup to the beginning of the song, where they have to act like a happy couple and in-love.
Basically themselves.
The set was changed into a cafe shop, with some actors for background and waiters.
"Do I get to kiss you this time?" Ruby asked as more makeup was being put on her face.
"You could have kissed me after he said cut," Sapphire smirked.
"You were trying to wipe water off my face-
"They're called tears."
"THEY WEREN'T TEARS!"
"OKAY, ARE WE READY YET?!"
Ruby huffed. She finally understands how hard Sapphire's job truly is.
"In a few hours, we'll be home again, okay?"
Ruby felt constricted in her suit and felt even more uncomfortable.
"Come on, they're just going to film us being natural in a cafe. No music, just look at me, okay?" Sapphire was wearing a pink dress and what was supposed to be Ruby's bowler hat.
"Right, just look at you... I've been looking at just you this whole time."
"I would hope so. I wouldn't want my wife to..."
She trails off, the two were standing, frozen and looking at each other.
"OKAY EVERYBODY, LET'S START THIS!"
