Hey, you'd think that after last month I would write this chapter before the end of the month, right? Wrong. Yeah, I wrote this the day before I'm posting it. OH! *READ THE BOTTOM*

Oh, well. If are any mistakes(and there most likely are) just let me know, and I'll fix them in no time.

"Hi! My name is Peridot! What's yours?" It was the first day of kindergarten, and Peridot was trying to make friends. So when she saw the blue haired girl sitting all alone, she did the only thing that came to mind. Try to make friends.

She was also really pretty.

"Your really pretty! Can we be friends?" The blue haired girl looked up at Peridot, lifting her eyes away from her sandwich. "What's your name?" asked Peridot.

"Lapis." Lapis, a pretty name for a pretty girl. Peridot, smiled and sat down next to Lapis, and pulled out her own lunch from her green backpack that had little aliens all over it.

"Well Lapis, looks like we're going to be best friends!" said Peridot with a huge smile on her face. And Lapis smiled back.

"Alright, everyone! Today we're pairing up for this little group project!" yelled . was Peridot's, and Lapis' fifth-grade teacher. The woman was like a sun. She had a weird way of making kids happy even when they were sad. She made everyone's day a little brighter.

"Pst! Lapis! Want to work together?" whisper-shouted, Peridot.

Lapis, looked turned to Peridot. "I don't see why not." Lapis smiled, " Let's go pick a topic before all the good ones are gone." said Lapis, as she got up. Peridot jumped out of her seat to follow, Lapis to the front of the classroom to pick an animal to do a report on. They had to pick from Harbor Seals {AN}, Beavers, Eagles, Wolves, and Whales.

"So I was thinking that we could do Harbor Seals. What do you think Lapis?"

"I was thinking maybe Beavers, but Harbor Seals is just as good." said Lapis.

"Are you sure? We can do Beavers. I really don't mind, Lapis."

"Peridot, if you want to do the seals, we can do the seals." said Lapis, with a bored look on her face.

"But if yo-" Peridot was cut off by, "Do you two know what your report is going to be on?" she asked sweetly.

"Yes, me and Peridot are going to do Harbor Seals." answered Lapis.

"Oh, wonderful! I believe you two are going to be the only ones doing the Harbor Seals this year. If you two need any help just ask, okay?" and with that was called by another student for help.

"Why did you do that?" asked Peridot, after a few moments. Lapis looked at Peridot with a smirk on her face. "Because seals are cool."

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LAPIS!" screamed, Peridot.

Lapis' face did not change from its blank look. But there was an eye twitch.

"Okay, so I know you said that you didn't want to have a birthday party this year, but I talked to the others, and we all pitched in and I got you a cupcake and some presents." said Peridot, looking up at Lapis to gage her reaction.

Or her lack of a reaction.

"Um, Lapis. You're not mad or you? I-if you are then we c-can do this another day. I-I just thought that this is what best friends did for one another." Peridot, was fidgeting now and had taken an interest in her worn out green shoes. Just as Peridot, was going to say more Lapis stopped her. "Peri. It's fine. Thank you." Lapis moved past Peridot to put her stuff down, "So where's that cupcake? I could use one right now." said Lapis, with a smile on her face.

Peridot, ran to get the cupcake, thanking every god she could think of that Lapis wasn't mad at her. Coming out of the kitchen with the cupcake in hand she handed it to Lapis. The blue haired girl took the tiny cake and saw that Peridot put a green and blue candle on it. Lapis, smiled at that as Peridot lit the candle, and watched Lapis, waiting for her to make her wish.

Closing her eyes, Lapis made her wish and blew out the candle.

"Welcome to high school Chemistry. I hope you all remember at these the basics of Chemistry from middle school. For our first order of business, I'm going to give everyone a partner. Your partner will be working with you for the rest of the year. After you partner has been assigned there is no changing it. If you get paired with a partner that you can't work with, the door is right there where you came in. Deal with it." Mr. Smith looked around the room, "alright let's get started." And with that, Mr. Smith picked up his clipboard and started pairing people up.

"Lapis and Peridot. You two are partners." Said teens looked at each other. What'd you know? Partners.

Peridot paled by now Peridot was well aware of her crush on Lapis. Yep, Peridot has a crush on Lapis. Her best friend since kindergarten. The one person who knows her best. The one person who knows the in's and out's of Peridot.

Yeah, this was going to be a fun year.

"PERI! WHERE ARE YOU?!" yelled Lapis. Peridot and her had got into a fight, both of them said some things that shouldn't have been said. Oh, and Peridot said that she's in love with Lapis. "PERI! I'M NOT MAD! PLEASE JUST COME ON OUT!" Lapis chased Peridot to the park by her house, then lost her in the trees. Damn trees. Lapis cupped her hands around her mouth to yell again, "DAMN IT, PERI! GET YOUR ASS OUT OF THOSE DAMNED TREES AND TALK TO ME!" For someone who has wild blond hair is sure is hard to find her in the dark. You'd think something like that would pop out, but nope.

Lapis, continued looking for another hour, before she snapped. "PERIDOT OLIVA GREEN! WHY DID YOU RUN?!" Lapis took a few deep breaths before continuing, "I LOVE YOU TOO!" Lapis was crying at this point, "Peri, I love you. I love you so much that it hurts. Please, don't leave me." Giving up, Lapis started the walk back home.

"LAPIS WAIT!" Peridot, burst out of the trees running up to Lapis, with sticks and leaves in her hair. It would have been funny if Lapis wasn't so shocked. "Lapis! Don't go. I'm right here. I was here the whole time. I won't leave you." Peridot looked deep into Lapis' blue eyes with her sharp green ones, " I promise that I won't leave you."

Then they kissed. It was sloppy, and rushed, but it was the best thing they ever felt. They kissed in the woodsly part of the park, they were crying, sweaty, dirty, and emotionally drained. But it was the best night of their lives.

Two years later, Lapis and Peridot went to their high school prom as each other's dates. It was almost a better night than the woods. The night was full of laughs, dancing, and horrible singing. Lapis, even won Prom queen. Neither knew how, but she did.

Lapis, got her crown and did one dance with the King - who turned out to be Greg so it wasn't that bad - then went back to dancing with her real date. It was another one of the best night of their lives.

But it didn't last.

"THE ARMY LAPIS?! THE ARMY?! DO YOU WANT TO GET YOURSELF KILLED?" screamed Peridot. It was a few months after graduation and now Lapis and Peridot were living together in a small one bedroom apartment with two baths, and a good size kitchen.

"Peri, I won't be doing any fighting. I'm just going to deliver messages. I'm not going to be crossing into enemy territory at any time." Lapis stood up from her spot on the couch and took Peridot's hands in her own, "Peri, I'll be fine. I'm only doing this because I know that I'll be fine in the end. I won't be doing any fighting." The look in Lapis' eye told Peridot, that Lapis wasn't going to change her mind. Oh, God. Lapis is really doing this.

"D-do you know how long you're going to be gone?" asked Peridot.

"I'll be gone for six months at least. At most nine months," replied Lapis.

"A-alright. Just stay safe okay? I love you too much for you to be gone for so long." said Peridot with tears in her eyes.

Lapis, brushed Peridot's tears away with her thumb before speaking, "I know. And I love you too. I'll be gone for less than a year." Lapis, pull Peridot into her lap as she sat back down on the couch. They sat like for a few hours, just enjoying each other being there.

Peridot had a feeling that it would be a long time before Lapis came back.

"Peri? Peri. Peri!" Peridot, jumped at the sound of someone yelling at her. Turning her head to the side, she found Amethyst. Wait. Why was Amethyst here?

"Peri, are you okay? It's your turn," said Amethyst. Oh, yeah. It's game night at Amethyst's place. They're playing Monopoly.'

"Right, Sorry, I was just thinking." and with that Peridot rolled her dice.

{AN} When I was in 5th grade I did a report on Harbor Seals. Their cool animals, I also did one on Beavers. I find this chapter a bit bittersweet. And if you couldn't tell, this is a mini flash back. So tell me what you guys think. Was this a good chapter or an okay one?

Review? Yes? No? Maybe so?
