Only a few short days after Sheena returned the Mustang to its rightful owner, the blizzard hit. Bad time to drive a convertible, she thought. Hell, Sheena must have been just a kid the last time it snowed this much; Empire City must be completely shut down. Sheena started seriously considering wearing ice skates everywhere. Not that she could skate. The human girl mostly enjoyed binge watching Game of Thrones with her roommate, despite Jamie's awkward commentary toward some of the sex and murder scenes. "Sheena, can you believe it? He broke his vow for her! But he was never truly loyal to her, was he? Overcome by lust, feeling her womanly form in his arms as he tasted her sweet flesh! Did it mean nothing, Sheena?"

"Oh my God, stop!" The girl replied jokingly.

"Just look at this cruel reality, in which love can never survive! By gods, let them stay in that cave forever, cradling each others' bosoms—"
"Seriously? Who says 'bosoms'?"

"And never have to face their duties, the war and sorrow. The way she had to turn against him! The jealousy, anger, betrayal! And he left her behind!"
"You know, we can put in a Disney movie. In fact, I'd prefer it at this…"

"Oh, what a way to go, Sheena! She died in her lover's arms! Some day, when it comes time for death to consume me, I hope to meet the same fate, with a woman who loves me as such!"

"Yeah, I have to go get food or something," Sheena walked toward the door, trying to keep her laughter in. Sometimes Jamie was just too much.

The pink haired girl was almost knocked back by the wind as she opened the door. But Sheena was not one to give up as she pulled her scarf tighter around her face and stepped out into the storm. She didn't know where she was going, but frankly she had to go somewhere. Perhaps she'd pick up a pizza, or stop by the Big Donut, or maybe she'd just go a block and give up. No, Sheena, you're better than that. She trudged through town, not another human being in sight. Or maybe there were humans all around her, it wasn't like Sheena could see more than a few feet in front of her anyway. This was a terrible idea. In fact, the pink haired girl seemed to be full of those lately. But Sheena journeyed on; she was nothing if not determined. She had only made it a few blocks before she heard a voice in the distance. "Peridot, I don't think this is going to work. Let's just go back to the barn. We can try again tomorrow."

"No, Lapis! The Camp Pining Hearts: The Documentary comes out on DVD today. Not tomorrow, today. And I'll be the laughingstock of the entire internet if I don't get my touch stumps on it right this instant! Why don't you try flying again?"

"Um…Okay." Lapis grabbed the green gem around the waist and summoned her wings, but only got a few feet off the ground before—

Sheena turned around just in time to see an oddly shaped figure crash to the ground, and to be honest, was too freezing to really be fazed by it. She stepped over to where the shadow had been, and saw two women laying in the snow pile, one pinned under two large pieces of ice. The human girl couldn't help but notice the teardrop shaped gem embedded in the other girl's back, and she realized that the two in front of her weren't technically girls at all. Nonetheless, Sheena lifted the ice off of them and tried to help them up as the second, shorter gem sprang up and did her best to look intimidating.

"State your purpose, human!" A nasally voice shouted at her.

"Hey, don't worry about it. This weather's pretty wild, you two looked like you needed help," Sheena then offered her hand to the other gem. But the blue gem seemed to be no friendlier than her partner as she gave the human girl a look of either terror or rage as she lifted her arm above her head. Strangely enough, the snowbank seemed to come up with it, before the girl lost control due to the wind and was knocked backward, several feet of snow piling on top of her. Sheena turned to the green gem and gave her a look as she started tugging on a a pair of blue, bare feet (Which are hopefully blue because she's, like, an alien or something and not because she's barefoot and wearing a crop top in the middle of a blizzard for Christ's sake, Sheena thought.) The other two were able to free the blue gem from the snowbank after a few minutes, but the human girl had had enough screwing around for one day. "You two, come with me. This isn't safe."

The shorter gem looked to the taller one, who thought about it for a moment before she began to follow the human girl back the way she had come. In this case, Sheena's size proved to be an advantage as she was able to wade through the snowdrifts as the two smaller women sank. She did her best to hold on to them as she went, though neither really seemed comfortable with this. And then it hit her. What on the Earth am I going to do with two strange aliens in my house? Like, I barely know what to do with my alien! Could these be some of the bad gems that Greg was talking about? Is this a terrible idea? Is this the last thing I do before I get like, abducted and thrown into a human zoo or something? Sheena knew she couldn't think about this too much, and to be honest, she wasn't scared of these two. They're like Pearl. And she's not scary, right? Right?! The human girl practically dragged the other two up the stairs to her house and threw the door open, almost tossing the two gems inside as she closed it as quickly as possible, though she still ended up letting a fair amount of snow in. Sheena did her best to ignore the curled-up Jamie on the couch, the sheer amount of drama having overtaken his body.

"Okay, gems, um, hi, Sheena here, so like, not to be rude, who are you and what the hell are you doing here?" The green gem just stared at her, and the human girl noticed the blue gem's eyes dart toward the door, then all around the room, as if she was looking for something. Sheena stared back at the smaller gem, wanting to let her know that she was not dealing with any more crap today from anyone.

"Oh, um, I'm Peridot, she's Lapis Lazuli. We were just going to run to the 'store' quickly, but we got caught up in your Earth weather, and we should probably be going and—"

"No." Sheena heard Lapis Lazuli's voice for the first time. "Peri, we don't know what this stuff is, we could've really gotten into trouble out there. It knocked me out of the sky, and throwing water at it just makes it stronger. Not to mention, I find it very unpleasant." She turned to the human girl. "Thank you. May we sit for a bit?" The gem's voice shook a bit as she gazed with big eyes at the human, and Sheena simply beckoned to the couch, where Jamie had become somewhat attentive again. He watched cautiously as the two gems sat beside him and glanced at him awkwardly.

Sheena spoke, standing in front of the others, "So, I just have to make sure, just to get it out of the way: Are either of you going to abduct me, destroy the Earth, or do anything that is in any way nefarious?"

Peridot smiled nervously. "What? No, of course not! I mean, we used to try to destroy the Earth. But not anymore! We betrayed our Homeworld and our leaders and now this is our home, too! We just wanted to get the new Camp Pining Heart DVD and, what do the humans say, 'binge' on it. The fans of my podcast are surely waiting for my 'review.'"
"Please do not get her started," Lapis tried to hide her smile behind an eyeroll.

"Hey, Sheena's got that DVD!" Jamie interrupted before suddenly getting embarrassed at the three pairs of eyes that had turned to stare at him.

Sheena blushed. "Yeah, um, I used to love that show."

"Yeah, used to," Jamie scoffed, handing the DVD to Lapis.

"Where did you get this?! It only just came out today!" Peridot stared at the case with stars in her eyes.

"I ordered it online. You could say being friends with the mailman has its perks," Sheena nodded toward her roommate as she slipped the DVD into the player.

As much as Sheena usually enjoyed Camp Pining Hearts, Peridot's reactions to the film proved to be even more entertaining. She was like a one-woman audience, laughing, crying, and gasping at all the appropriate times (as well as some of the inappropriate times). The fact that she would actually cover her mouth with both hands when shocked made it even more amusing. Sheena enjoyed Lapis' occasional sarcastic comments as well, and she felt herself relaxing in the presence of these two basically-strangers, even if their presence came with even more enigmas. The human girl couldn't help herself; when she was sure no one was looking, she snapped a photo of the two brightly-colored aliens and sent it to Pearl with the caption, "Do you know these two?" After all, they said they weren't going to hurt her, but Sheena was not in the business of trusting people she just met. And she definitely wasn't using this as an excuse to text the cute one. She wouldn't do that, she's not all needy and crap, of course not.

A/N: I just had to include Peri and Lapis because I love them. Hope you enjoyed this chapter, another should be on the way soon! Also, did anyone else see the SU footage from SDCC?! Actual, external screaming (at my laptop) did occur.
