After the shoot, it was done at 7 PM, like the director said.

There was an awkward atmosphere between Ruby and Sapphire in their limo. Ruby had a very tight grip around Sapphire's hand; her heart racing in her chest from the word "wife."

holy fuck holy fuck, she called me her wife does not mean she has been thinking about it too oh my god-

"Babe, you should call Amethyst." Sapphire said, without looking at her.

"Oh, right," Ruby reaches for her phone and calls her right away.

Instant answer.

"WE AT YO HOUSE!"

"HOLY SHIT CHILL-

"BITCH, YO HOUSE IS TIGHT AS FUCK!"

"THANK YOU?! I forgot I already gave you the address yesterday..."

"We gon' stay here. How was being in a music video?"

"It was... interesting, to say the least."

"SWEET! Anyway, more are coming, just to let you know."

"Okay, we're on our way. See you then."

Ruby sighs.

It was silent again between the two.

SAY SOMETHING YA FUCK

"Listen, Sapphy. You saying that wasn't weird or anything..."

"I know. It just slipped. Sorry."

"Why are you sorry? It's fine! Seven years is a long time, Sapphire! I don't see anything wrong-

"I know there's nothing wrong. Just forget it, okay?"

Ruby sighs. shit.


The two got out of the limo when they arrived at home.

They noticed right away that the FUCKS really were there, along with Lapis, Pearl, and even Rose. They were all dressed in casual way; it was very similar to

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY!" Jasper and Amethyst both exclaimed and ran up to Ruby.

Ruby runs up to them as well, grabbing them in a group hug and jumping around each other.

Sapphire goes to her group, who happily greeted and hugged her as well.

"Guys, help," Ruby and Sapphire didn't know this, but they said that in unison to their respected groups.


The two groups hung out separately. Ruby went upstairs while Sapphire stayed downstairs.

"Dude, what happened?" Amethyst asked in a hushed voice.

They were in their master bedroom, playing 2K, surrounding the large TV.

"She called me her wife, guys." Ruby admitted.

"No fucking way-

"Shut it, Jasper. What does it mean?"

The three looked at each other.

"Um," Amethyst pauses the game, "It means she wants you to WIFE HER UP."

"B-but I'm planning it! It's happening tonight!"

"THEN GET ON IT!"

"HOW?!"

Amethyst, Jasper, and Peridot get into a brainstorm.

"The girls are all downstairs and we have to somehow get everyone's attention away so you two can get away."

Then they heard all the girls downstairs scream.

It didn't sound like fear, however...


"Guys," Sapphire chugs a wine glass full of red wine down, "I made a huge mistake."

"It can't be so horrible," Rose swirled her cup around.

"I mean, you guys are so comfortable with each other." Pearl waved her hand around as she spoke, "I would expect any slip-ups or mistakes would be water under the bridge."

Sapphire pours herself more wine, "Are you sure?"

"I can't be," Lapis stuck with water. Fucking bitch.

Sapphire stayed quiet as she downs her second glass.

"You're drinking rather fast." Pearl grabs the glass away from Sapphire.

Sapphire sighs, "I called her my wife-

All three women scream at the top of their lungs.


"What the fuck was that?" Ruby looked at the three.

"I dunno, girl talk," Amethyst brushes it off.

"I don't know what to do..." Ruby passes her controller to Jasper and stands up from her group.

"Here," Jasper pauses the game. "Follow my lead."

"I already don't like this."

"Please, you'll love me more after it."


The four go downstairs, the other four women laughing and chatting about careers and plans.

"Hello, ladies," Jasper greets.

"What brings you down here?" Rose smiles at them.

"Well, it's Ruby's party after all, I would like to propose a few statements to her on why she's our friend and a great person. And Sapphire's case, a great girlfriend." Jasper explains.

Everyone in the room, for once, actually agreed.

Except her Ruby.

"So!" Jasper clapped her hands, "Sit your ass down, Ruby!"

Ruby groaned, but does as she said. She sits on the couch, sighing as everyone lined up.

"Okay, since I suggested it, I'll go first." Jasper clears her throat, "Ruby Harris, we've known each other for a long time and I gotta say, you're one crazy ass motherfucker."

Everyone laughed at her statement. Ruby was certainly bold.

"But that's what I like about you. At times, you never seem to give up, but you show that you have weaknesses too. You're loud, brave, and always speak your mind. Despite that, you show a different side to us."

Jasper sits, while Amethyst stands, "First off Ruby, congrats on winning the Finals. Um... You're my self-control, dude. You stop me from doing stupid ass shit. BUT! You do join in sometimes because let's be real, some shit out there is fun!"

Ruby gets flashbacks to many eating contests the two have now regretted.

"You're willing to do anything to make others happy. And that's a great trait to have."

Peridot stands; Ruby braced herself for this shit.

"I have to say, you are much more tolerable than the other two. You are definitely smarter and stronger than these two."

Jasper and Amethyst acted fake-hurt at her words, but it was just Peridot being... well, Peridot.

"You're more likely to be on my side of things and I'm happy that you included me in your adventures and your activities, even when everyone around clearly hated me."

She referred to Jasper and Amethyst, who were completely against her coming along at first.

"I guess I'll go next." Rose stands up, wine in hand.

"For starters, you are an amazing individual and I'm so glad to have met you simply because of Jasper's crazy antics. You're one of a kind in many ways, especially in the way you care for everybody and try your best to please everyone around you. That's all I have to say on that." Rose chuckles.

"Okay," Pearl stands as Rose sits, "Well, you're interesting to say the least. With your "Hugh Jas" and your possessiveness of Sapphire, I expected nothing than, well, as the kids say it... a fuckgirl."

"Thank you." Ruby said sarcastically. Everyone giggled that Ruby was the one who gave off that vibe, unlike used-to-be-players Jasper and Amethyst.

"But, now I know that you're just someone who shares her love differently. There are times that shown you are, indeed, vulnerable. It's a little heartbreaking, really, it's hard to know whether you are hurting or not unless you're crying."

Sapphire knew that all too well. Ruby has had countless times where she was able to cry on her shoulder, like at the music video, but she hardly shows it.

Next was Lapis.

"Can I splash this water at you?" Lapis asks with the mug in her hand. "I've done it to everyone else already and you're the last one."

Her list:

Rose- Sleeping her ass off at school
Pearl- Not being able to tell Amethyst her feelings
Sapphire- Her nervousness from going to her first award show
Amethyst- Giving up on going to school
Peridot-Being too honest about Lapis and her "water problem"
Jasper- She's an asshole

"Fine," Ruby shut her eyes tight.

Lapis does so right away, a huge grin on her face as the cold water hits Ruby at her forehead.

"That's all I wanted to do." Lapis sits down again.

Ruby- Just because

"Go Sapphire!" Jasper clapped and hollered. Everyone else followed along as Ruby wiped her face dry with her shirt.

"Actually," Sapphire stands up, "I would like to speak to Ruby privately."

"OHHOHOHOHOHOHOH, alrighty then!" Jasper crossed her arms. "We'll hang here then."


Sapphire grabs Ruby's hand and drags her upstairs.

"Something wrong, Sapphy?" Ruby asked in a quiet voice.

"No..." Sapphire sighed. She takes them to the bedroom and closes the door. "I just want to apologize for... For saying what I said earlier..."

"What? Sapphire, no, don't-

"Please, Ruby, I can't stress this enough. We've been together for a long time and it just... It just came out! I've been thinking about marriage a lot and I haven't been sure how you feel and..."

Sapphire stayed facing the door, unable to look at Ruby in her eyes.

"It's been my one dream since I fell in love with you. Marry you and stay with you through thick and thin... I just couldn't stop them from getting into my train of thought. We spoke about having a child and I've never been so happy in her entire life. I'm sure Topaz has spoken to you about how I was before. I was closed off and emotionally closed because I missed them, Ruby... I missed my parents and my mom... I never got to know her. You make me feel complete and I just... I'm a mess!"

When Sapphire turns around, Ruby was down on one knee.

The little black box in hand.
